Plenty of indies never see a console release. Perhaps getting certified for the Vita is easier than other platforms? Isn't it indie-friendly?

I've been playing the Vita version recently. It's pretty awesome. It looks great on the Vita's screen. As for the controls, I've had no issues with them, plays great on the Vita. In fact, I've A+ ranked the Prelude, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3 so far and without any special masks (since I haven't unlocked most of them). I've upped my game significantly from where I was at when I originally played it on PC where the highest I ever got in any stage was a B.

Just wish I could find that damn puzzle piece in chapter 3. Grrrrr. I can take solace in the fact that I kicked that chapter's ass though with a score of 77,766. I got the combo pro trophy in that same chapter too. My other scores so far:

Prelude - 31584
Chapter 1 - 20503
Chapter 2 - 40100

I've just played through the game. Never expected it to be this good.

Now I'll try to find the puzzle pieces. I only got one in my first run. But it'll be nice to unlock all the masks now.

It's funny how at first I was barely able to get a C+ and now I just breeze through the first levels. I thought I'd never get good enough for the later chapters.

Without spoiling anything, how do you get the puzzle pieces? Are they just hidden about in levels and you have to walk around tapping buttons to pick them up or do you have to finish a level with a certain condition being met?

I only have one and it's the letter a. I'm guessing after you get them all it's some kind of mammogram.

Edit: I like the typo it stays.

They look like tiny, purple dots. At least one of the ones I've found wasn't out in the open, so check hidden spots. Most of them aren't hidden though. They're just hard to spot because they're so damn small. The level select screen will show if you've found them in each stage, it'll show as a purple dot next to the mask you've acquired in that stage. You can also go to the pause screen, puzzle menu to see how many you have total

Bought this on Steam and I dunno I just can't get used to the keyboard+mouse controls. Using the mouse to face a certain way just isn't......clicking......for me. Is this the preferred setup? Anyone using the Xbox controller?

Xbox controller works great, click the right stick to lock on.
