Stumbling through Core of Innocence

[davidn]

Pudding Hat Games released Core of Innocence after a record-breakingly long time in production! And I gave it a spin, recording the experience and getting much more into it than I had first thought - even as this video was uploading I was back trying to defeat a huge annoying plant boss.

At its heart, it's a Metroidvania game, but it has a couple of extra dimensions that took me by surprise. Download and play it yourself!

"cheat-code away from finding the hidden hentai tentacle level."

Continuing on from the comment I left below...there's no cheat code involved. You just get 11 of the 12 Core Fragments (the 12th is hidden in said level), then use your cat form abilities to climb up the shaft to the right of the warp to the Frozen Wastes. There you find the entrance to the Twisted Nether, aka the hidden hentai tentacle level.

I found that portal! It wasn't turned on at the time I reached it, though. I actually find myself a bit stuck just now - like you, I found the final boss completely by accident after belting through the final level as the cat, but it seems completely out of my league just now and I feel I should go around gathering some more things up before attempting it (it's very much like Symphony of the Night in how early you can go and attempt it).
