Sequel to Alwa's Awakening, but this time with SNES-era graphics. The block, bubble and lightning return, but this time have enhanced abilities compared to Awakening, and can be used for even more crazy ways to get around the world.

To 100% this game, you'll need to do everything the game has to offer, which means getting all collectibles and upgrades, full map completion, plus a few small challenges that aren't too tough, nothing that requires you to do a speedrun like Awakening. You'll also need to do 2 playthroughs, as one trophy requires beating Pacifist mode, which only unlocks after beating the game with the max health.

This platinum playthrough will do a glitchless 100% playthrough, followed by a glitched Pacifist playthrough. The 100% run involves a fair amount of exploring to get a trophy called Equilibrium, which requires having 3 of each consumable collectible at once. Most bosses aren't actually 'required' to progress until near the very end, so It's a while before the first boss is actually beaten, as I went out of the way to collect powerups and upgrades that will make getting certain boss trophies easier.

The main glitch used in the Pacifist run involves ducking while on a falling block and holding left or right to zip through the ground. This allows access to the final dungeon without beating any of the bosses. A normal speedrun could do it with just the block, but I opted to get the bubble too, as there's a very difficult climb near the end that will be made easier by having the bubble.

Overall, this game is a step up gameplay-wise from Awakening, but I prefer Awakening in the OST department.
