I go back to the Vorticons my favourite Keen levels.
Galaxy without saving is no fun for me.
I hope you have respect for my opinion.

Episode Smile here I come. :p

The proposed challenge is good for Goodbye Galaxy and Keen 6, however I have a somewhat different idea for the other games.

The challenge is different for each game:

Keen 1 - Finish the game (completing as many levels as possible) without firing a single raygun shot. Yes, that means you'll have to dodge the Vorticon Commander (and any Gargs you encounter in the other levels). I am sure you all know how to get rid of the other three Vorticons without shooting them.

Keen 2 - Finish the game (completing all levels) without turning the lights off even once. That will make the Tantalus levels very painful indeed, but you'll feel really good if you can accomplish it. Good timing will be essential.

Keen 3 - Finish the game without saving. I couldn't think of anything better for this one. Suggestions are welcome :crazy

Keen Dreams - Finish the game without saving and by completing the least possible number of levels. That means you'll have to know which levels have 6 Boobus bombs (and how to obtain them) and be able to defeat Boobus from the first try (without wasting any bombs).

you are a cruel person :P finishing keen 3 is hard enough as is, without saving...
Combine Garg and Apples in a bowl, simmer over medium heat for several years. Season with a pinch of regret.

Pokota's Attempt (Medium Difficulty)

Post by Pokota »

I'll edit in my death numbers as I go; I'll be starting from Keen 4 and then coming back around. I'll only be doing this post on medium (as I have yet to complete two of the four Guardian levels in Keen 5 on hard without In Level Saving - Regulation and Neutrino, blaaaaaaah). My next post will be Hard, most likely, or else just an indicator that I completed the tour on Medium.
