[So, wait, did I just go to beyond-the-impossible exertion of inner power to fight Wily's troops only to be captured and tortured by Smiledog only to escape and kill Smiledog myself...

FOR NOTHING? D:

I'm with Arch on this one. Why don't we just leave everything as it is and just let things go back to normal? Just have fun, don't plan anything out, let it all work itself out. I'm getting tired of all this moaning and arguing over nothing. Why don't we just start a new topic or something and leave this as an archive of what came before?

Now, lemme finish up here...]

As Lucky carefully made his way through the corridor, wary of any potential guard robots that might be lurking about, he could sense an ominous force in his presence. He knew instantly what it meant.

"Hello, my boy~!"

Deathwatch gave Lucky a viscious glare that bored into his very soul and then stamped on it. Vehemently, he grabbed his hand around the lad's throat and hoisted him up to his own eye level.

"You wretched imbecile! What was all that about? Was all your training for nothing?"

"Hey," Lucky choked, "I...managed...to...get out...right...?"

Deathwatch said nothing, just grunted and dropped Lucky to the ground again. Eventually, he grumbled, "More training."

"Well, I'm afraid we can't stick around for long, my boy."

"Huh?" said Lucky, rubbing his elbow, "Why not?"

"Times are changing, you see. We can't stay around for long." Blackmore gripped a piece of the air, then ripped a large gash in dimensional space. "Come along, my boy! Set your sails for new horizons, for many a new adventure awaits us!"

Lucky, though confused and a little dazed, nodded his head and followed the two villains through the portal.

As one door closes, another one opens.

Purple prose is when you use fancy adjectives, showy phrases and flowery language to an excessive degree. It's fine for some styles - such as archaic/classical/epic fiction - and if it's done right, but if it's done poorly, it seems cheap, amateurish and can be very detrimental to the quality of writing.

Warning: brief tutorial ahead.

(click to show/hide)

Basic - John entered the room and closed the door.

This is telling us what John did in very simple terms. He entered the room and closed the door.

Expanded - John hurriedly stepped into the room and, in a brief moment of panic, closed the door firmly. He knew his wife would find out his secret if he wasn't careful. It was better, he reasoned, to just destroy the evidence here and now.

This is expanding the above passage. It is describing the manner in which John entered the room and closed the door, then going on to tell us why he did so and giving us a motive for his actions. The reader now knows how John feels and the vagueness of the above passage is given form and reason. The reader has a better understanding of John's predicament and wants to know more, but it's kept fairly simple and easy to understand.

Purple - John, barely able to keep his breath and his lungs from exhausting themselves from the sheer exertion of energy, frantically sprinted across the hallway and hurriedly bounded into his room, after which he threw his hands upon the handle of the door; in a brief yet tense moment of dastardly panic, he forced the door to shut with a heavy thud against the frame, keeping it shut firmly and tightly to ensure no-one could enter with ease. He knew in his mind that his wife, the blasted old bag, would soon be privy to his dark and haunting secret - the thoughts could not be kept at bay, for they kept gnawing at John's scattered mind, confused and weary from so much thinking on his planning. He conjured forth a plan - it would be better, he reasoned and felt solidly in his heart and soul, to just destroy the damned evidence in this place and at this time. It could wait no longer! He had to do it, there was no other choice!

This isn't really expanding so much as tacking on a bunch of inane and often redundant descriptions that the reader doesn't really need to hear. They already know John is in a hurry and panicked, they don't need reams and reams of paper hammering the point home. Not only can it easily bore the reader and drag the point out, it's unnecessarily dramatic for a relatively simple plot point.

In short - keep it simple but interesting!

Seems fine to me. Maybe a few little grammar and pacing issues, but otherwise good work! You're avoiding overuse of purple prose, too, which is always a good thing.

Why is that surprising? EVERYONE on the Internet is a virgin and single.

I think that's the point, dude. Get equipped with sarcasm!

Also, that's a very ugly generalisation. The majority =/= the entirety.

Never mind, I got it done myself. Here's my new ship, the Lucky Superstar!



It's basically my/Lucky's mobile base, a large starship that resides in the Lucky Cosmos. It also has a pair of retractable arms and legs, similar to the Dai-Gurren, for walking across land.

What Acid said.

From what I've seen, it looks really promising! Duplex Man's stage is clever and ingenuitive, especially the Hologram Joe enemies. I'd like to see some more stages, should you find the motivation to complete them.

I'd like to help, but I can't really do much of anything of use. =| So, good luck!
