When I got to that bit, I actually chanted, I thought you were supposed to posses that slig, I thought that he would shoot Alf if he walked off.

Look closer.

I did the exact same thing but apparently he's too drunk to notice Alf getting away.


EDIT: I guess that whole speech of Alf having his first beer in the desert at the end of AE will have to change now.

Somehow I can't imagine Alf holding a bar and not tasting his own merchandise.

Or thinking that if there's nobody else at the bar, FREE BREW!

I don't think it's his bar, I think it's more likely that the bar was put there by management but Alf was ordered to run it.

Is it the slig passed out on the ground?

I've only just gotten to Alf but man is this challenging! I love it!

That part with the paramites and the saw blades. Foof.


I'll come back when ive had a chance to go through it some more but so far im enjoying it a lot. Very challenging


Also, I played and finished Abes Exoddus on vita today. I was missing like 14 muds and I swear I had gotten them all. I went and watched WarioPunks video to see what I had missed out...and this whole time.. I have been missing a HUGE secret in the game. Its the very very 1st one. Seeing that new area made me flip lol. Its the secret behind the debris. I felt so silly for missing it all my life lol Also, as you fall in the exit area before you finish the game, theres a spot with 3 UXB mines and a bird portal. Is anything there or no? ---- Sorry for going off topic :P

Im disliking alf already. I cannot get past the massive slig and slog slaughter with abe in the middle. Theres simply not enough time for the possessed slig to turn around and run the other side of abe. Meh. Ps4 turned off.
Edit: It glitched and i got past it The slogs AI just stopped where the electric gate is tuned off.. Imma take this opportunity!

This is hard as hard as hell. I essentially paid 10 dollars for it as that was the minimum gift card I could buy to add funds to my wallet, but still worth it. Good so far.

I think a death counter would be a fun thing to add some time, maybe in an AE remake if one gets made. I'd certainly like to see how many times I've fucked up already.

It was ridiculously good.

The difficulty was arguably the best thing about it, as my main issue with the main game was that I found it too easy.

In this one even Quiksave didn't make certain parts easier, such as when the saws chase Alf. It just felt like a proper challenge, with new puzzles that were equally clever to those found in the original.

And the environments were amazing.

I freakin' loved it.

It was a pretty tough challenge. I managed to finish the main story without mastering all the full skills needed for Alf's Escape.. I'm also still unsure who this "secret" character is.. If it's in Alf's bar.. Theres literally the drunk slig, and 3 passed out sligs. thats all i can literally see.

Same here, this "Secret character" is bugging me

Ps, I found a glitch with the bit with the Sligs and Sligs coming from both sides

I found that you can put Abe just one step to the right and you are still able to possess the slig, when the onslaught is happening, sligs who walk in from the left are still able to walk up to the trap door and not spot abe.

I don't care if anyone says otherwise, but to me Alf's Escape will always take place in Zulag 5. Hardest part was definitely the sligs and slogs mayhem with the security screens. A nightmare. I did manage to get few a few puzzles by somewhat cheating slightly, but apart from that it was a pretty enjoyable experience.

7/10 on the Connell-o-meter.

He does. There're loads of specially recorded lines, albeit reactionary and idle ones.

I just watched the part in youtube and it's true that it's not easy to spot. To be fair I didn't notice it on my own either. The green light in Alf's Brew is definitely not helping.

1. The special character is indeed one of the passed out sligs.

2. It's the one still at the bar.

3. His skin is actually white.
