pedrovin: Help out this Fladervy fella get to SGDQ will ya? Here’s the donation stream https://www.twitch.tv/johannhowitzer The fella’s submission to speedrun Freedom Planet as Milla on hard in SGDQ was accepted but money is required to go from Brazil all the way to the states. To adventure!
2 days, 16 hours remaining until Superdogthon, a speedrun marathon to raise funds for Fladervy to travel to SGDQ!
Many people here know that my Freedom Planet submission to this year’s SGDQ has been accepted. However, I don’t have enough money to go to the event on my own. These are my estimates for the travel expenses: – Plane ticket ($950) – Food ($150) – The hotel ($300) – The visa ($200) – $1600 on total.
We are organizing this marathon, to be held at twitch.tv/johannhowitzer, to raise money for my SGDQ trip. This won’t be a Freedom Planet exclusive marathon, so there’ll be many different games.
Personally, I’m kinda interested in checking out the speedruns for Ratchet and Clank, Momodora (I hear that this one will be played one-handed!), Hyper Light Drifter, Gunstar Super Heroes, the entire Mega Man block, and the end of show set of Freedom Planet speedruns. Should be good fun, with VoDs to watch should the live events be missed.
If this sounds like something you’ld be interested in checking out, please take a look at the schedule!

goshaag: So today I saw a couple of recent pics of Lilac in swimwear, and I thought: “I wanna draw one too!” Huh. This is pretty fun! She seems pleased with herself. :3 Given the viewpoint and the expression, suspect she may have just bested Carol in a water race.

Flutterjump: Performed by holding Jump in the air.
Shield: Performed by holding Special. Creates a frontal barrier that can deflect attacks and damage enemies.
Burst: Performed by releasing Special after a Shield.
Phantom Block: Performed by holding Attack for a certain amount of time. The cube itself and the sparkling formation of a cube both function as a raised shield, and can deflect attacks. Shield Crystals, bombs, Flower Pods can be lifted to replace the Phantom Block if Milla approaches them while holding or forming a block. Toss: Performed by pressing the attack button while holding a Phantom Block or any other object.
Super Shield: Performed by holding Special while holding a Phantom Block. The block creates a LARGE frontal shield with better coverage.
Super Shield Burst: Performed by releasing Special after a Shield. This attack deals good damage at a longer range than the other girls can reach AND the entire duration of the attack also counts as a projectile-deflecting barrier. Best of all, using this gives Milla an immediate burst of speed.
Super Shield Boost: Releasing a downwards-diagonal SSBurst immediately after jumping gives Milla a huge boost of speed from recoil. She will quickly lose that speed if she is gaining height, but if she is falling (for example, by hitting a ceiling during the SSBoost) she can KEEP the speed and even follow it up with another SSBoost! When falling after a short hop, or shortly after Milla has run off of a platform, using a horizontal SSBurst will still allow her to keep the recoil boost of speed. The trick is to release the the SSBurst as soon as possible after initiating the jump or beginning to fall to prevent Jumping Air Drag.
Air Drag: If the player character is moving upwards, their horizontal velocity will decay. This general rule applies to all characters, but is particularlly noticible from the harsh slowdown after one or two good SSBoosts with no ceiling.
Flutterblocking: If Milla is falling when she performs a Super Shield Burst (for example, just after hitting a ceiling, or when doing the burst in one of the Jade Creek drops) she can start forming a new Phantom Block as soon as the Super Shield Burst animation ends. However, the player presses and holds Attack and Jump at almost the same time when the conditions to make a new Cube is available, Milla will begin to Flutterjump while creating a new Phantom Block.
Demonstrated above: If care is taken such that each SSBoost is only performed while Milla is FALLING, it is possible for her to chain several Flutterblocks together. It looks cool, it makes certain bosses easier, and it can be used to save herself if she’s falling in one of the few levels that has a death pit.
Okay so I’m playing Freedom Planet finally, and it’s great and all. Torque and Milla are my favorite characters, with Mayor Zao in third and Lilac in fourth. Anyways, I heard there was Freedom Planet DLC released last year, and I dunno where to get it, and Google isn’t helping. Does anyone else know?
Milla Story mode is currently available. Playable Torque is WIP. Playable Spade is announced, but not yet publically available.
A Story Mode for Milla was released somewhat recently that shows a few specifics to her experiences that the other two didn’t get through, and she retains certain story segments that had been removed from Carol and Lilac’s stories. However, that same update included a few bugs to audio in Carol’s story and to Milla’s abilities that are distracting for familiar players.
If you own the game on Steam, you can play as Torque by right-clicking the game title in your Steam library and choosing “Properties”. From there click the “Betas” tab and then ‘beta – for testing new builds’. Close the dialogue and relaunch the game. When you go to Time Trial mode, you should have a selection of Torque levels available for play. If you encounter bugs or otherwise want to leave feedback, you can do that here: http://www.galaxytrail.com/forum/index.php/topic,589.0.html
Spade, however, is not currently available by normal means. It is said that there is a demo in the works where he is playable that will become the demo for all players who do not own FP, but that demo too is not yet ready.
