SLAGAR THE CRUEL PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS...
THE FIRST UPDATE IN ABOUT A YEAR...
AND IT'S COMING... FOR YOU!
In case you haven't checked the actual site, I've updated it with a new edition of The Haunted Abbey for Halloween. I've actually added more in the Haunted Abbey's deluxe edition than I put into Vermin Invaders' DX version. Well, sorta. With VI DX, I was mostly editing the menus and the interface, and I threw in a slightly diferent "Expert" mode, an "ending" of sorts, and a preview of VI2. With THA-DX, I've made some serious content additions. It's pretty great, so check it out.
(BTW - the new Action Area is my personal favorite.)

I was trying to replay the original a few weeks ago, but gave up once I managed to waste an hour trying to beat the archery part again. That mouse can NOT shoot. :P

You have managed to make a very frustrating game, Slagar... I hate the graveyard xP.
Also, the mouse is a lousy shot and those ghosts hurt you even when you hit them. And also, mayhaps its a glitch, but the main villain disapears once and never comes back so I'm just walking around for a long time.
Other than that, the game is pretty good. Though it seems like I've kinda ripped on it quite a bit xP.

That's great! I was just about to play the old one and tough "Hmm, maybe there's an update on slagar's site." downloading now 
You should post about it on the LP.
I don't get my "R" papers when I type in a password. Is it supposed to be like that, and will it still work? Do I have to go and get them again? It's been a year y'know 
Ah, I had a 3D haunted abbey. where did it go? *searches around for the spotting manager*

Malazrael... is evil. The graveyard is actually rather easy, once you figure out how to cheat. I just hate having to go through it again when Evil Fox Man kills me. *sigh*
Did you happen to change the first archery part? Because I just got frustrated with the rhythmic delayed shooting and just shot continuously and beat it. O.o Cuz if you didn't.. well, I think I'm gonna go smack myself. I also remember having at least a small amount of difficulty in the dormitory area in the old one, whereas this one was almost pitifully easy. (I can't check, because I was retarded and overwrote the old one, and am too lazy to grab it off a backup CD. So.)

Servone - The Graveyard is supposed to be long and difficult to work out. It's the only new level so I didn't want to make it something you could beat in a minute. Yes, the mouse is a lousy shot, because he's just a normal guy, not a warrior. You can become a better shot by finding the "hidden upgrade", though. As for Malazrael disappearing, yeah, that's a glitch. I actually tried really hard to fix that, and it doesn't happen as often anymore, but I can't completely get rid of it. Sorry. Just keep in mind that in the original version, all of these problems were 10 times worse.
Dandin - I very well may post about it on the LP. Actually, I already did, but I didn't make a thread about it. So I probably will, if my internet connection stops randomly malfunctioning for long enough. RE: the "R" papers, no, they're not supposed to be retrieved by the passwords, as mentioned in the instructions. (If you think about it, there's a good reason for this.) Also, those Flatland things are still pretty rockin'.
Lyrian - people have called Malazrael the "easiest last boss ever", so I had to make him a little harder. No, I didn't change the Archery part, that's pretty much how you were always supposed to beat it. No, I didn't change the Dormitory at all, it was always a pitifully easy way to demonstrate "hey, you have a bow".

Okay, I'm an idiot.  But still, when you don't even have to use the bow to get through the "hey, you have a bow" area...
It's disorienting to have to face what I'm shooting at instead of just moving back and forth. And then have to dodge things as well. Bah. :p

Hey Slags, Malazrael is STILL the easiest boss ever. I just use the secret weapon I call. . . BACK AND FORTH METHOD!!*
I didn't know that special cheat typish thing until I had already found out how to get past the graveyard. I worked it all out on paper and everything!!  All that work when t was SOOOSOSOSO easy!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Oh, I found a mistake: I remember the organ combo, and then I had the bow and fishin pole, even though I never got them. And the combo of notes sounds weird on the piano. Try it.
For Halloween, I dressed up as Predak, but I didn't have a mask, just a black-painted nose and a gray hoodie shirt. We put gray ears on it, and everyone thought I was a rabbit. HUMPH.
Happy Halloween!
