Little things aside, I continued with, and finished, Momodora. I don't really have much to add to yesterday's impressions. Spent a fair amount of time backtracking today, getting the little things I missed or couldn't get to before. There's plenty reason to do so, as Momodora offers a little more than most Metroidvanias in this regard - the items you collect are usually desired by some NPCs for a little extra content, story, or unlocking the true end. I also want to say that the attention to detail in so many parts of the world is a rather rare thing to see.
There are also reasons to re-play the entire thing. Higher difficulty levels don't only tune the damage numbers and hitpoints of enemies higher, but also rework enemy placement in many parts of the world. There's 20 bugs (not the software kind, mind you) scattered around the place, and while I achieved 99% map completion and checked every nook and cranny I could possibly bother, I only found 5 of them. I'm not sure if there's a special reward for gathering them all, but it's highly likely. And apparently there's also rewards for beating each boss without taking damage. And then a mysterious door I have no clue what's behind.
I'm not going to bother re-playing it. I did enough backtracking for my own liking. But regardless, I really enjoyed the game, and would definitely recommend it.
And on a completely different note: I found the rare urge to play some KSP tonight. I probably won't finish this in the near future, but since 1.2 requires relays to effectively pilot unmanned crafts, I figured I'd make a relay that can transmit to the entire Kerbol system. Going to plant one or two of these in low Kerbol orbit, and they should suffice for going anywhere except Eeloo. (That is, using the DTS-M1 antenna on the receiver ship. I could always use something beefier for an Eeloo trip.) Now, this is only the portion that will carry it after I reach Kerbin orbit, and even then I think I'm a little light on fuel, but I'm definitely sticking to the design, because just look at this thing.
