I figured out the chromy monkey after reading that section in the manual.
I'm curious how you might encourage these glitches while also maintaining the front of: "This is a retro video game that you could technically beat just by playing normally".
I have not found any secrets yet.
But I have gotten inside the monkey.
Huh... I'm not sure how you did that...
If that's with a saving glitch then I guess I can't really do anything about it, but if it was through an other mean it probably deserves some fixing x)
As for the "How to encourage the player to do glitches", my current best idea is to replace the game manual with a forum of some sort. Like, you can find posts about how to perform things, but more importantly, you can ask questions to get specific answers.
Like, the first time you fail to get a chromatic Primavolt you unlock the "what is Primavolt offset in the encounter tool?" question or something.
This way, you could still search normally for answer, but you could also be a bit more proactive in getting them.
Also, it would allow me to handle pacing better and introduce mechanics one after the other, instead of the current "50 pages manual to read".
As for the secrets, I'll keep them mostly for myself but know that I got inspired by games like Blue Prince or Animal Well, so some of them are just not told at all xD.
Though I see you managed to get one of the "secret" stamps, which I would count as "hidden content" (as, it's not explicitly told that you can do that, and it is not strictly necessary to beat the game)
