Simon Can Be A Little Silly Sometimes - Tumblr Posts
Random tiny details I like a lot in CV4:
- you can be killed by frogs
- also tables
- and falling off the stairs
- Simon sometimes moonwalks on the stairs
- Simon really has trouble with stairs doesn’t he
- there’s a particular brick pattern in one of the backgrounds that looks like teeth
- 3/4 hanging skeletons can be ducked under without having to kill them
- if you stand in place with the whip held over your head none of Deaths projectiles can hit you
- the cute little bugs on the title screen
- the ghost dancers are named Paula Abgoul and Fred Ascare (hehehe puns)
- that bone horse in the background of the first level
- Simon just kinda flails the whip around with wild abandon when “spinning” it, like it’s barely a spin bro is just panicking
- hehehehe Simon swing!!! It’s so fun
- a lot of enemies are taller than Simon
- the sound when you jump off a treasure chest
- almost all the hand enemies don’t do any damage they just hold you in one spot
- secret room!
- the end use of Simon’s theme of course, still sad there’s no curse of man/second phase tho
There’s more but like man it’s the little things, I love this game I’m replaying it again that’s the whole context for this lol
