sniffnoyMaster of the Tower!
Yeah, it's probably the easiest of the 6 to do perfectly. Though I don't know how it was that I was suddenly able to do the one key hard flip (the one to get the second shiny) consistently. (Or, consistently enough.) I thought that was going to destroy me for sure...
Not that this puts me any closer to unlocking No Death Mode, but it's not like I was actually going to play that anyway. (Still no 15 seconds on Super Gravitron. Annoying.)
Unrelatedly I've started playing IWBTG again, starting from the beginning. (I mean, unless I'm going to pay for data recovery on my old crashed hard drive... well, OK, I still might do that sometime, but certainly not for that!) Yeah, all the way back from the Guy to the beginning. Still on Medium. The thing is I finally decided to go ahead and look up hints for the 3 secret items I hadn't been able to find. (I'd found (and gotten) numbers 1, 2, and 4 on my first attempt at the game, and didn't manage to expand that during the second.) One of them I had kind of guessed at, but the other two I had no idea...
ADDENDUM: Rot13'ed details on the above. Note that for items 1, 2, 4, and 5, I will state their location! For 3 and 6 I'll just list the hint...
