Yes, it does! Yay! The best DC part by far. I've enjoyed your entire video, that's a big plus.
By the way, do you like gore films (including zombie movies)? Because if yes, along with retro platformers and other stuff you have the same mind like me 
About shield: I don't think it's overpowered. This feature have saved my ass in the final boss through "Iron Maiden 2 HP Challenge" 
I can agree, that is used too often. I'm interested what game mechanics we will meet in your next game 
Perhaps it will an big offtopicness at the end of post again. At first I say now these all only my minds, that means I don't force you to do this neither you become slot-machine of wishes/requests We can share our minds, can't we?
So, as you talked about next platformer, it reminded me about recent dream. I dreamed about From Primordial Egg (recently played as well) which was so... so advanced (including 8 hours of gameplay, high replayability and my favourite font, Joystix ) that it could be the freeware hit like Iji or your GG2. Unfortunatelly now which decent features though, it's short so can be beaten about half hour. That's obvious with TIGsource competitions, after this it will go into forgotten (as I can say 
). Sometimes I want to see in the future (as I said, not directly from you therefore forcing) dino-like game which I had similar on my dreams and perhaps blood/gore system like in... Primal Rage?
EDIT: (17 Dec 2010)
Well, after watching 8th and 9th DC, there are like always some notes from my site
At first, when you said about cherry between forest and north zone, in my case I guessed immediatelly there's something in this building. So I got this by first ride with boat.
In 8th, too bad you didn't get cherry in old mansion immediatelly after getting pizza maker. So well, you have to make trouble again to old mansion for cherry
I agree about with entire Mario franchise. These first games ftw. Games from today like New Super Mario Wii are obviously too easy, too much comic mischief and... no retro feeling at all.
About amount of ammo, even in 2HP Challenge it's very significant. By it makes the game more dynamic than "tactical", and I like this a lot.
BTW, what you said at 13rd minute in 9th DC, I feel so being stalker by writing this. Because unlike other people in this forum I'm very active here. Also I guess, you're annoyed you see posts only from person
PS: Question by curiousity: ain't GunDude a reference to yours "standard" outlook in real life? I wonder about this since 1 month EDIT2:
Screw opinions of whining children! Keep still play-style and difficulty like in 90's ;D
But seriously, don't care about them much. Even Iron Maiden with 2HP is much easier than entire route in Super Mario Bros, I mean without cuts
This video now made too much attention for me to post, for long time finally
It was hilarious and not boring generally. About difficulty when in next game, you can make just even 5 difficulty grades, so almost everyone can enjoy as equals for its skill. Unless I don't understand something?
About Frozen Hell - with combination of awesome BGM and background it's my favourite level. Oddly and sad is that it's the only enviroment where it's not in Random Mission Levels at Endless Mode.
That's all I guess. I won't write too much because obviously most of people don't like too much to read. And by the way, Paul - congratulations for the Cacoward
