Update: Started a new save, this time not messing around, and yep, it's impossible to kill the Tar boss without shooting. To keep it in theme, though, I tried to break the smaller balls with the melee attack as much as possible.
Recorded 53 minutes of footage, from the start of the game up until when you first reach the catacombs. First boss only took three tries this time lol.
A good chunk of these 53 minutes is me being lost in the ruins, because it's been a while since I last played so I was not sure where exactly to go. Because of this, I don't know if I'll upload the footage or not, seems kinda boring to watch a dude going back and forth three times around the map. Didn't seen a single sex scene, so maybe I can upload it to YT, although I'm a little afraid of the pixel tiddies of the alien tribe. Maybe I'll upload it tomorrow.
TL;DR: so far it seems to be pretty possible to beat the game with melee only, Anon just needs to program the Tar's eye to be "hittable" by the crowbar. If he makes that in the next patch, I'm all up for a new run.
Also, two bits of criticism to Anon: the new wire shot? Awesome! Please make more puzzles around it, it is so much fun going Spider-Man through the stage when possible.
But I really think the new dash button placement is bad. Took me a while to figure out how to do the dash, and when I've found it, I've had a pretty hard time using it. If I upload the gameplay, you'll be able to see my confusion when I got the dash lol. Had to change the button layout so the dash is in the R1 button and the wire shot in the R2 button. I used to put the dash in the R1 button on MMX4, so this way it is more comfortable for me. If you can rethink the button placement for it, it would be nice.
Alas, I'm really thinking in pledging on Patreon. Always have been, since the first time I've played the public demo, but you know, 3rd-world country finnancial shennanigans, so spare money is short. But I'll do an effort. The project totally deserve it.
