Moving Day Special: Anodyne Again!

Since today was a little chaotic, I didn't get any time with The Wind Waker. Instead, I took some minutes out of my move to play a little further into the computer game Anodyne. As a quick refresher, it's a Legend of Zelda-esque game in which you wander through the main character's subconscious. It's good, retro-gaming fun.

And its platforming is really difficult.

Your jump, first off, is pretty shallow, and the edges of platforms are slippery. Unless you land squarely on solid ground, you'll fall into whatever chasm you were trying to cross. And when trying to avoid rolling spiked bars and enemies, square landings can't always be struck.

At least in Link's Awakening you could walk/run onto a platform from the edge. But Anodyne shows no such mercy on this front.
