Replying to Polar_ #polar_ If the sandbox is as fun as it seems and there's more than just the disc and bubble jumps, I feel like a sequel would be really good for a game like this
I would not describe it as a sandbox

engine has fluid/light simulation down
oh I misunderstood
So, bubble and disc are probably the only interesting items
I really wish the yoyo worked like a grapple hook
so you could swing with it
the lamp is just a "we need this item to block progress" item, so it is worthless
I think mechanically, he has a great engine, and if he built a different game using it he'll make a masterpiece
the firecrackers are technically not needed at all
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I think mechanically, he has a great engine, and if he built a different game using it he'll make a masterpiece
100%
Pika, there are some dumb things crackers are used for
that annoy me in postgame
glad to know they do something lmao
but there's a bag upgrade at least
to carry more
Also, I kind of wish there were more bullshit collectables
this game only has the eggs, since it is not a normal metrodvania (no ammo upgrades) and for some reason, no health upgrades
I'm surprised there's no currency/shop either
I think a shop with a collectable currency you spend there to upgrade your items
or just be Stardew and sell hats
that works too
like bubble lets you do 2 (not needed, but uh, normies who cannot figure out infinite jumps)
yoyo can be used as a grapple
the first one is already in the game Pika
Is that a post game thing
you have to spook the ghost kangaroo 3 times with firecrackers, and he drops it
lmfao
you can get it before credits I think?
I do not like the youtube bait aspects of the game
where its all "secret content"
the game is absolutely not a hidden secret kind of game, I stand by that
It wants really hard to be a super deep "you did not understand Animal Well - video essay with 1 million views" kind of game
we need to make a list of all the games that fall into that esoteric hidden secret kind of gameplay
there aren't many
The story is told through environmental storytelling entirely I think (unless post game is more direct)
its nothing super out there
idk, it's a 100% recommend from me, play it rather than watching/reading about it imo
because it's short enough
it's flawed, but I can appreciate it
Play it for free and I 100% recommend it
it is a good experience
especially if you like puzzle platformers
(it is a metrodvania, but no combat so I think just calling it a puzzle platformer is more accurate tbh)
(also never call it a metroidbrania grrrrr)
hkknightquestion 🧠
It got the blue puppets biggest seal of approval
this game is actually going to be normie huge
If you play games like this like me, you'll really like it and hate it. If you play games like this not like me, you'll probably like it and notice its flaws less
I should have recorded my playthrough tbh
I wish I could show people the hour and a half of me fucking around with the disc
spooky left, got food, came back, and I was still doing it
twice
yeah
Spooky I was so fucking close, it is 100% possible in that room
I was expecting once you had the bubble skip, you were going to beat the game in like 3 hours
I'm sure it is
you were going to glitch get it regardless
but I think it's probably legit possible too
I think if you cut out that, me getting dinner and leaving the game running it took me 3.5 hours
I think with how I play games, if I took it seriously post game would've taken me another 2 hours or so
I did try to play post game, but I could not figure out where to go
because I jumped down the pit and then didn't see where I needed to be
9:13 to get what I consider to be ~100% after the second ending
There are a couple last things I need to do for achievements/statues
yeah about, its $25
it's also $0 if you just DL this
that's my DRM free copy, if for some reason that makes a difference
