Still, great game. I would recommend being okay with stopping after beating a world and taking a break. When I powered through it, things got to the point where I was fucking up things that I had done 15 times in a row prior to that. Then I was fucking up things even earlier than that, and so on.Comment

As you complete entire levels (i.e. - beat the boss at the end), you can walk backwards at the start of the level, off of the screen. Doing so will advance you to the next world. There is no level select or save, outside of that. You start at the beginning of a world no matter what.
So, how long does it take to beat? I'm guessing only a few hours, tops? Like old school NES/Genesis games?Comment

Probably took me like, 4 hours in one sitting? This is after playing world's 1 and 2 a few times because I didn't realize you could warp to the other world's by walking backwards.
You have unlimited lives, you only lose gold. The time depends on how much you die. If you decide to do the Path of the Valkyrie, it would probably take more time in the long run, as it would require much practice.
Path of the Valkyrie is basically where you beat a world without being hit, much less dying. Then you get a second path, that you get 1 to 2 chances on, depending on how many jewels you collected (max you can get, I think, is 2 in a world). You die more than that, you take the regular path and you don't unlock the Valkyrie mark for that level.
I've still only managed to get to world 3 on Path of the Valkyrie. It gets way too intense and allows for such a tiny margin of error, especially in world 2, which features fucking boats on water and guess what? You can't swim.Comment

20 questions with Seth
What is the purpose of collecting all that gold and jewels?Comment

It does pile up in your little stone room that you enter after completing a world.Comment

I still have to finish the first one! Maybe I'll dive into it again once I finish Transistor.Comment
