This steals some of the challenge from Prince of Persia, but it also offers some freedom for exploration. You can make leaps of faith in an attempt to get at a Light Seed knowing that failing won't penalize you.
I'm okay with removing any serious penalties from a game like Prince. After all, the more you stress about death, the harder it would be to enjoy the scenery. But I do hold issue with some of the other ways Ubisoft has made Prince consumer friendly. When you need to double jump, the color bleeds out of the world.
When an enemy is about to counter attack, the block button flashes on screen. There's no way to remove these prompts for those who want to add some challenge. Sure, you have your hands on the steering wheel, but you're being guided along. I'm all for making things accessible to a broader audience, but there's no reason Ubisoft couldn't also service the hardcore gamer at the same time. Perhaps the most challenging moments in Prince are when Elika uses her powers.
There are four magic abilities to unlock, each tied to magic plates found throughout the world. Two of the powers are almost identical and offer no skill challenge at all. The red plate rebounds you forward -- often to another red plate and the blue plates have Elika sling the Prince forward. Different animation, same idea. The other two powers do require some skill and are used for some of the longer sequences in Prince of Persia.
The dash power sends the Prince running up walls. Though you're on a track, you will need to move left and right to dodge obstacles and corruption traps. It's simple gameplay, but these sequences can be several minutes long and failing means starting back from the beginning.
The flight power follows the same principal, only Elika takes the Prince in the air. You must dodge left, right, up and down as you soar through the air. For all its creative juice POP comes up a tad short on the magic elements. Dash and flight are really the same thing, but with one on the ground and the other in the air.
And the other powers are identical in every aspect but the animation. I would have liked to see a bit more variety here, especially since the magic plates take a prominent role the deeper you get into the Prince's world.
Fans of the POP franchise know that there's a third element to compliment platforming and combat. There are indeed a handful of puzzle elements in Prince of Persia. The majority of these are very minor things -- mostly moving plates to redirect where you can run. There are only two truly Prince-worthy puzzles. One has you changing the flow of a river of corruption so you can reach a new area, the other has you manipulating some gates to reveal a series of magic plates.
It would have been nice to have more puzzles or more ways to alter pathways up walls, but it's nice to at least have something. Certainly puzzles have been downgraded in the new POP, but not completely forgotten. It's clearly been influenced by Shadow of the Colossus. Within an hour of starting up a game, you'll be able to run from one end of the world to the other, examining the four very different locations.
You won't, however, be able to cure every area right off the bat. Each of the four areas is comprised of six sections or levels all of which can be explored from the periphery. But to give players a sense of progression, the majority of these sections can only be cured after obtaining a specific magic power for Elika. You do, however, get to choose the order in which you unlock Elika's four powers.
And the order in which you heal the various locales has a direct affect on gameplay. Each area has its own boss, whom you will face off against repeatedly as you slowly work to heal every section of the land they protect. And each boss has a unique corruption trap to release into the world.
The Warrior creates columns of corruption that shoot out from walls and grab at the Prince; the Concubine releases bat-like creatures that chase after the Prince, forcing him forward. Even after beating a boss, the trap sent into the world remains in all of the other corrupted areas. These traps stack, meaning that in the final levels, you'll be dealing with all four traps layered on top of one another.
This dynamically changes the acrobatic challenges in each area. Ascending up the spiraling tower to the top of the Royal Palace when no traps have been released is quite a different experience than doing so with bats chasing you as corruption tremors roll up and down the wall and columns of black goo reach for your heels as you leap to the next ledge.
I was a bit skeptical that just tossing in a trap to an area could make it feel different, but it really does. Mind you, even with four traps released in the world, the difficulty of Prince of Persia doesn't dramatically elevate. Because many of the runs from one section of stable ground to the next offer few moments to stop, the traps are often solved by having good timing at the outset.
Get off on the right foot and you will almost never have an issue with the subsequent traps on the run. Ubisoft did a great job of giving a sense of urgency with the traps — it always feels like you just barely avoided being nabbed by a column of corruption — but the danger is often an illusion. When moving through corrupted areas, you may feel funneled into a certain direction, repeating similar sequences, but even then there's something fulfilling about making those jumps.
After reaching the healing ground, Elika can rid that section of the world of corruption. The corruption is pushed away, replaced by lush grass, dandelions and butterflies.
The sickly area you just ran through is now transformed. Walls of corruption that prevented further exploration have evaporated.
And this is where Prince of Persia stands out from other games. Often the "healed" areas of are pretty boring to travel through. It's often a necessary evil of poor design to backtrack through a completed level.
But there's a reason to explore the healed areas of Prince of Persia. After healing a level, 45 Light Seeds appear.
These seeds are used to unlock new magic powers for Elika. The majority of these luminous orbs can be gathered just by traveling back through the area. However, those looking to gather all Light Seeds will have to search every nook and cranny of the world. The payoff for doing so is unlockable skins, which can be used to put the Prince and Elika in different looks.
But the bigger reward is seeing the game world. As pretty as the world of Prince might be when covered in corruption, it's absolutely magical when healed. There are moments when I felt like I was running through a watercolor painting. The four areas of Prince are wholly unique in look and each manages to find the perfect balance between fantasy and reality.
If you don't take some time out of your quest to stand on a plateau to admire the vista, you're missing out on POP's greatest gift. There's a story for every single area you visit.
Elika's people abandoned this world long before Ahriman was freed and you can learn more of the history by speaking to Elika. In eight short minutes, the Vizier's bid for limitless power will be complete. Only one soul has the courage and speed to stop him Yet little does the Prince know of the wicked defenses set in place to dash his desperate crusade You have 8 minutes to navigate the dungeon to the Vizier's throne room and stop him from unleashing the Sands of Time!
Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the Prince in all directions. Walking allows the prince to stand more closely on edges and pass through spikes. When in Combat mode, the left and right arrow keys will move the Prince towards or away from the enemy.
Pressing up will allow you to parry an incoming attack, and pressing down will allow you to put your sword away in case you need to escape. The game is a flash remake of it, one level though. Using SWF Extractor, I've extracted the graphics and the music sprites from it and packed them into one file. You can make your own gif animations.
Large Frames; Also, you can extract from the game, after converting swf to gif using Magic Swf2Gif , some of the frames and edit them, i.
You can also decompile the game using Flare. Also, you can change some parameters quite easily using flasm. You can set the number of starting hit points it's only displayed if it's at most 5 , the time available, whether you possess the sword at the beginning and some others. The map has been made by Will Mallia and released on popuw. Note that there is a loose floor in the third room. How do you get the freaking sword?
I got to the sword and picked it up but I can't jump back across! The sword is located on the far right. Walk to the edge, then press space and hold down shift. After the prince caught the other edge, press up. I can't find how the level data is stored it isn't in the traditional.
Perhaps they've used some frames and put elements as objects on it, as suggested by the quite large number of hittest calls in the source. In this case, changing the level is a nontrivial task. The game consists of 16 environments, and 5 mini-games. The mini-games are the greatest disappointment of this title. With more than 60 minigames , the diversion is assured.
