That’s a good idea!

Well, it isn’t just luck-based. In fact, smell is the weakest of the three senses (besides having no easy counter). You can keep a mental note of Cobb’s position and kite him around the map by listening for the sniffing sounds. Plan how you move around the map based on that, and come up with other strategies when it’s mixed with other senses.

I do think it’d be cool to add a way to mask your scent temporarily, but that’ll have to be for the remake.

I’d rather not, I love reading what people have to say about the game and there’s not that much spam (maybe 1-2 a day). I just would like a solution for when I don’t have time to check the comments.

Switching to discussion board would not carry over the hundreds of existing comments afaik, so don’t want to do that either.

Heya, I’m the developer of COBB CAN MOVE.

For a couple of months after the game became very popular, my comments section has been spammed with different accounts claiming a new update for the game is at a new link. I’ve deleted/banned many of them but more keep coming. Is there a way to blacklist keywords or set up some kind of auto-moderation?

Thanks in advance.

WHAT

The bakers are quite inventive at times!

heya, glad you enjoyed. I’ve seen a few peeps that have reported generating a map without enough coal/unreachable breakers, but I’m like 99.99% confident this isn’t possible - the more likely explanation is that sometimes the map can just be confusing and have tunnels leading to larger areas in hard-to-find places.

I do agree that learning cobb’s senses could be more intuitive though, there are strategies for avoiding him that a lot of players don’t pick up on!

Heya, thanks for posting. And yeah, I noticed people re-uploading the game to mobile and other websites without permission. I don’t really know what to do about it, tbh - it doesn’t seem like there’s easy ways to report them, and I’m not willing to spend money and effort to take legal action.

Heya! I actually feel like the issue is the rest of the game, not the ending :/ people who closely learned how cobb’s AI worked don’t have much trouble with it at all, but I feel like I didn’t do a good enough job of making the game encourage you to learn, and it lets people win even if they don’t understand the rules and how to manipulate cobb’s position.

Anyways, some tips:

• try moving the candles to create large dark areas, this helps you lose cobb much easier when he can see.
• also include some grass patches in the dark areas, since footsteps make no noise on grass.
• try and listen to where cobb is on the map and plan your route accordingly. if you’re good enough at this, you might be able to do the whole ending without even being noticed.
• you don’t have to put in the batteries right away, you can wait and avoid having to create a ton of noise!

Good luck!

Heya, there is no way to disable it. I will consider adding an option to do so in the remake.

If it’s of any encouragement, I have never seen someone actually get scared by the jumpscare. Most people find the tension and getting chased scarier :P

It’s a short time, but if you’re really getting chased and can’t seem to lose him it’s pretty useful :P

wait, WHAT? o_o

Are you sure? I’m trying it myself and the candles don’t do anything.

cool thumbnail :O

In the browser there should be a fullscreen button you can click on itch.io. If not, you may need to try a different browser.

amazing <3

Do you remember what version you were playing on in the browser? Was it the same as the download? It shouldn’t be possible for the speeds of the characters to change either way, but maybe it is being weird.

I thought about this, it’s a cool idea. There’d just need to be a more obvious way to identify each duplicate hehe

The trick with smell is to try and not get chased in the first place, which you can do in the final level if you try baiting him around the map and listen to his position.

Cobb (and your) speed change every level, and a recent update also changed how his movement worked a little to encourage stealth more. That’s probably why it looks different in a let’s play.

You can do it!

There is a limit, there will always be at least one rule missing!

My best is level 9, it just gets nuts at that point lol

Jeff Cobb didn’t stand a chance

<3

Sorry, there’s no way to do that in the game. Using a different browser will probably give you a fresh save, or you can edit the localstorage save directly if you know how.

It makes his arms longer :P

It is pretty OP lol, but the sense of smell is actually pretty weak (despite having basically infinite range). Just keep a steady pace and try to plan how you move around the map.

Yeah I considered this, I think smell would have been more fitting as the third battery. I don’t want to change things too much balancing-wise though at the moment.

He can smell your sins from a mile away…

Hallucinate is SUCH A GOOD IDEA! We’re not planning on adding more rules right now, but maybe in the future

Thank you so much!

Also, it’s more like elbow breaking… cause no legs and all XD

Yea, I have some more tweaks planned and improving duplicates with some kind of anti-crowding is on the list.

<3

Heya, glad you enjoyed. I’ve seen that bug a few times but haven’t figured out what causes it yet! If Cobb just doesn’t kill you after grabbing, just exit to menu for now.

The game’s been out for long enough, so I’ll be honest: it’s worse than luck. The game is just rigged to last as long as possible for tension lol

There are some strategies such as not using too many calls and switching up your hands. (The opponent does try to “guess” what you’ll do next, sort of. For example, he won’t expect you to throw rock twice, but if you do it 4 times he will catch on.)

Oh, those are good ideas! I will say even I’ve never reached endless level 10, it gets so crazy after level 8 xD

Well, it’s not like he has any legs to begin with! 🤔

I’m very honored you played this game :D

I also find smell to be devastating haha, my best advice is to try and always keep moving in circles around the map. The smell is really weak if Cobb is far away.

I’m glad you enjoyed <3

The difficulty is kind of all over the place. Some people find the whole game very challenging, some find the ending to be a spike, and others yet find the whole game to be easy. It’s probably a result of how random everything is, if I had worked on it for longer I might’ve made the learning curve tighter xP

I think adding a hard mode is a cool idea! I wouldn’t want to just add more tasks or make Cobb faster though. Maybe new rules or even a second monster that has it’s own ruleset could spice it up and make it feel different from normal mode.

Also, your “Option 2” is pretty much what endless mode does, except the map gets increasingly larger and Cobb can duplicate more and more times. It gets pretty brutal, sounds like you’d enjoy it. (My best on endless is level 9, good luck beating that!)

Yeah sorry about that, I’ve seen quite a few think you have to bait him in the fire. I changed the name of the task recently to just say “Survive!” but it could still be confusing.
