Fun fact: Despite the Beta Tester's continuous pestering, there are typos that has have lived from the very first version of Beta to the finished game.

Allow me to present one of them...

Somewhat. :P

I wanted to talk about only one typo, but then I noticed there are probably more unfixed typos along the way, so I changed typo to typos but forgot to change that bit as well.

@Cousin: Nope, unrelated to Wysp. There are other rainbow stars in the Wonderland universe, you know!

Can I use my Fanon Powers to make that star actually be Wysp in disguise? Can every star be Wysp in disguise? Gimme some technical non-contradictions to work with here.

Did anyone else notice the nod to the Daleks in the audio around the zap-bots? You hear them saying "eliminate" but in the music you can hear "exterminate" mixed in. Nice!

Yeah, I noticed that. Half the time during testing I just called them Daleks, so :P :lol:

For that matter - Fez, 3D Glasses, Bowtie. I love the Doctor Who references in here. :D

EDIT: Come to think of it...

If the Zap-Bots (and Z-Bots, by extension) are Daleks, does that mean that the player character is the Doctor?

can we have a TARDIS in wa4

I've just finished freeing Guggenhiem (is that his name???)

So far, I'd give the game 9.999999999 out of 10. It would've gotten 10 out of 10, but I don't like the way transporters shrink randomly. :roll:

This has been reported by the Beta Testers, and I don't like it as well, even though it's just a cosmetic effect.

Peegue has been given a VERY VERY VERY deep voice. Its hilarious when he says "Ahaaaaaaaah..." :lol:
The voices for some of the z-bots are also funny.
"STINKER ELIMINATED." "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE" are all good examples. :lol:

Magic lessons from someone in captivity? That just might be an ingenius way to spice things up!

Also, it's nice how I'm not the only one who doesn't want to ride around on things that pulsate.

...Actually, I think it would be fun to ride MooBots like mechanical bulls.

This was a little picture I presented during beta testing.. There was a huge bug in the game and it made this happen:

Nice edit there.

Actually, if MS ever releases an update, I wouldn't be surprised if this picture was there as an easter egg just for humor. :lol:

I'm stuck in the void now, learning about Flash. It's not the most complex magic concept, but it could lead to some interesting puzzles.

MS never used that and even warned me (when I suggested such an idea) that it could lead to bugs, but whenever the editor comes out, I really want to see levels that require a Flo/Flash combination to be solved.

Unfortunately the two don't combine, I've tried messing around with them in-game (there's at least one late-game adventure that has both of them in it). Flash spells go straight through Floing bubbles. :(

That was "Suspicious Silence", wasn't it? Argh, it seemed like a such good idea... thanks, anyway.

I tried it on Rescue Mission B, actually, just to see if it actually would stay suspended via Floing.

If anybody's interested, how Flash actually works in the game is now on WonderWiki.
