LP Beach

A bit late, but this was a great LP, thanks for the entertainment. Original Spyro is my favourite game ever - all the gimmicky minigames, vehicles and other characters in 2 and 3 just got in the way of dragoning. Still enjoyed all your old Let's Breaks, and looking forward to the new versions. It'll be fun to see if each level can be broken in the same ways.

As an aside, have you ever thought about LPing Shadow Legacy? It's... not exactly stellar, but passable at least, and maybe breakable. My copy randomly developed a bug where most of the character models (except Spyro) lost their textures and instead had the same creepy mottled black-and-white texture. Quite unsettling, and I quickly sold it after that.

Spyro's little "Wow!" twirl when getting an orb/talisman is cute. Much more comfortable than bending one's head backwards while wings clip through it.

Why are we smashing up containers and collecting gems in Avalar? It never gets explained. I like to think Spyro's just stealing them out of habit now, and nobody dares to ask why. Classic dragon entitlement.

Does this remake still have the colour-changing/big-head cheat codes?

I seem to remember Spyro 3 having some kind of hidden difficulty setting, that unwittingly made some levels impossible to complete (Fireworks Factory). They've probably scrapped that.

Air swimming isn't a thing after all? Darn. You got everyone hyped up with that two-second preview earlier!

Portal warp was cool though, and getting trapped in the tube, beautiful. Why would the devs bother to give it a solid and textured bottom, if not to catch sneaky players?

These redesigned levels are so pretty. All the levels in Spyro 1 were gorgeous too. It's incredible how they started with such basic blocky environments and turned them into these.

Okay, a little bit of air swimming is better than none! It's quite surreal seeing the whole level with the sea underneath it.

Colossus looks gorgeous. The redesigned Brother faces look weird with big eyes though. Reminds me of Enter the Dragonfly (shudders).

Wow, this level looks different. Maybe the shiniest revamp yet.

With all the high vertical walls and lack of air swimming, I expected this level would be quite dull. How wrong that was! I applaud your dedication to breaking things.

Yay ladders! What a strange bug. Hitting the ladder while flying somehow keeps climbing status on, and makes other surfaces climbable...??

I love how the new Cone is broken in exactly the same ways as the old one - plus a little extra. Why did that one faun's body have no animation, I'm really curious how that bug could have happened. Don't remember seeing it in this LP before.
