good game. but now I have officially no clue where to go next, all seems like deadends.
only exits according to map are currently from:
E3 to F3
C6 to B6
D8 to C8
E9 to E10
the E5 and E7 bototm exits.
the E3,E5,E7, require sinking in water, no chance.going to B6 requires likely coming from D7 which is jsut impossible right now.And D8 to C8 seems like the most likely possible but I jsut cnt manage to wall jump up that shaft with the fucking XXX XXX XXX slugs.like you cant kill those XX , your melee does nothing to them.and it is sjut impossible to find the perfect timing to wall jump past all 3 of them in one go.
tried for an hour, no chance.
for skils, I got the wall jump and the water swim ability so far.
got some shells collecte, even thoguh I ddobut they'll be useful and will sjut be collectibles for 100% completion.
So yeah, no clue where to go.
the vertical slug shaft looks the most likely but is just impossible to actually do.
Everywhere else that I havent mentioned,a t least according to map, has no rooms with exits displayed on the map.Even been to D2 already.
Thanks for playing, and glad you're enjoying it so far! :D
Yeah, from your comment I think you're at the part where you have to route up through D8 into C8 (as you've alluded to). The easiest way to do it is to not bother trying to bounce up the shaft by wall jumping, and instead wall climb + wall jump as appropriate. The timing is a little tricky but should be possible (I might actually go back and tweak that section slightly to make it less finicky post-jam). I've just had a go at it now and the method I used was:
1, Jump and grab the left wall
2, When safe, jump and grab the right wall and climb up in preparation to jump back to the left wall
3. When safe, jump and grab the right wall and climb up and out
And yeah, shells are just collectable so you don't have to worry about them factoring into unlocking rooms/beating the game.
I'd be interested to know how you get on, if you find that section is just too finicky that's a sign that we probably need to polish it up a bit :)
ehm what do you mean by "wall grab"?
that doesnt exist in the game, does it?
wall jumpig is the only thing one can do, aint it, by jumping agaisnt a wall while holding the direction agaisnt the all, then jump again to jump away fromt he wall?
basic wall jumping essentially.
but if I were to ligner on the wall, I would jsut quickly drop down the wall.
if I could ininfitely wall hang there, basically stick to the wall without sliding down, that part would be easy!
but how is it down?
did I msis some instruction?
I use keyboard by the way.
and C is jumop and V is melee.
nothing else yet, or is there?
oh wait, I jsut went back to the controls lsited here and there is indeed wall grabbing mentioned besides wall jumping!
not sure if it requires an upgrade though, cause i only colelcted the item that gives walljump and the one for water swimming.
maybe I first gotta collect some item somewhere?
will try again if wall climbing actually works right now!
edit: god damn it, wall climbing actually works!
not saiyng getting up there is easy but definitely possible now.when I collected the wall jump item, was wall climbing and it's controls lsited too?
we can look at collected abilities in the menu, would be cool if you could jsut list their descriptions there too, so one can read up if one, msot likely like me, missed the part about wall climbing :-)
edit 2: jsut that that slug part, with wall climbing that was like the easiest thing ever!no need to modify, that part is very easy IF you use the wall climbing ability :-)
Yeah, when you pick up the wall jump ability that includes wall grab + climb as well :) We'll maybe add something to make it clearer that when you pick that item up it unlocks all of the wall-related abilities and not just wall jump.
I like the idea of expanding the abilities page to help make the abilities you've currently unlocked clearer, so we'll maybe have a look into that!
Glad you managed to get past it, just let us know if you encounter any bugs or the likes :D
Thanks again!
