There was meant to be a secret ending which used this and a few other threads that were never made… but whoops game jam time limits

I would start by culling that thousand down to a more reasonable number, something like 100 games. I’d do this by evaluating the surface level quality of the game (does it have a video trailer, are people commenting / rating it, is the page well made, are there at least a few results on google for reviews / videos made by external creators)
I have really enjoyed the selection in past itch selects bundles, where there’d always been at least two games I was interested in, which justified the purchase, and I often ended up trying and enjoying a game I wouldn’t have expected. Personally, I’d be much less likely to buy a bundle with all visual novels or all horror games, as whilst I will occasionally play these, I don’t really want to play ten of them all at once.
I also feel that what made the itch selects bundle valuable was the curation of amazing games from across the site. There are already many other bundles in the sales tab which target specific genres / creators, but these almost all lack that special curation of hidden gems you may not have found otherwise.
I got all the stones (including elusive zero) and am now curious, what’s the third difficulty option that gets blanked out? And what’s the meaning of “will you discover the █̸̟̘̜̑̏u̴͍̐̊█̸͕̆l̸̡̝͈͗s̵̩̩͊̇̈█̷͍̰̇͛█̷̧̰́ņ̶̣͇͐̃͠█̵̺͕͊̅͑ ?” I tried replacing those blanks (?u?ls??n?), but doesn’t seem there’s any word matching that pattern. I feel like there’s still some super duper secret I’m missing… I did notice that my winning deck against the first tutorial dude is supposedly this:
But there’s no way that I had 59-stone in my deck when I beat them and actually the icon shown there isn’t the same as 59-stone so idk. I don’t recognise ever using a deck like that, and I can’t replicate it without knowing what that mysterious ghost + black stone is. Could I get a pointer please?
Damn this game is so so awesome! I love how each challenge and stone is so different, that you really need to reorganise your deck for almost every battle. Really got to try out all of the stones, even that secret stone (which seems cool tho idk how to really use it… is it really that powerful?? The one thing I could think of was negating a negative to earn heaps of free energy, though was a big setup for seemingly marginal reward). I’m really glad that the game saves progress, excited to come back and hopefully beat that stone stealing boss, he’s insanely tough!
my best is only 17… I keep dying from things merging in unexpected ways, dragging something further than expected or otherwise just panicking. I wish the timer wasn’t there, and yeah there’s the endless mode but it then lacks any purpose outside of training for the main game. I’d love to see less focus on the timed element; maybe some puzzle levels where you get not much space to perform a handcrafted challenge or maybe money + upgrades to increase the area available in?
Still though I enjoyed playing it a bit over the last few days, even tho my score still sucks, it was good fun!
Good golly those final few puzzles are so so so dang hard, but after about two-three hours I got it, no hints or walkthrough needed, just lots of head scratching! Amazing game, the puzzles are so well made and I was really pleasantly surprised by the metroidvania element. The hardest part was getting my head around what could and couldn't be rolled / pushed on, a block being sunk into a hole = smooth but a pillar or rock being sunk = rough did my head in, not to mention sinking rocks to then recover wet logs. All very innovative stuff but with so many rules I often got stuck because I didn't fully understand them. The complicated rule set made for some cool moments but I also felt like there needed to be more puzzles to smoothly introduce you to everything. Still loved the game, a real head scratcher!
hehe it's possible to get softlocked in this room when you don't yet have the double jump. You can get here by in the room before the double jump power, falling down then air jumping right, down the pit above me =P
Awesome game, I came back to see what I could break and welp there it is! My one disappointment was reaching the ship and automatically winning before I'd collected everything
Awesome awesome little game, me and my little blushy boy got all(?) twelve things. I tried looking for the secret costume, but there's so many spots it could be hiding (do you need a specific costume, or is it related to the white flowers, or perhaps a riddle in the very fancily worded plaques). I'd love even just a hint on this
Really fun game, though I got into a bit of a bind. When I got the left laser, I went crazy and destroyed every wall in the room you collect the laser from. And I noticed a shortcut to the right, and knew I had to open it by coming in from the right, which I tried doing. BUT there was a secret trap that I didn't see coming. When going left into the room from the right, I stepped on the right peashooter weapon... I completely forgot that was there and was just focused on opening that shortcut... But I didn't open it, and now I've lost the laser. I tried getting back to the laser, but uh oh, I destroyed every solid block... Which kinda sounds good, but with the absolute barrage of enemies and projectiles in that room, there's now almost no cover at all. So I don't think it's really possible for me to get that laser back, oops
This is probably a totally dum mistake on my behalf, but is quite frustrating and I'm pretty sure unintended, so just wanted to report it. Despite that, I really really enjoyed the game, getting revenge with the laser is awesome!
Thanks for this amazing asset, I’m using Forward in my latest game, Deliver to Whence you Came!
Amazing game, the feeling of finishing a level was great. I love the strategic element of fully grown crystals no longer being attacked, it really incentivised focusing on a particular plant and defending the others. But then the level layouts come in and dismantle that plan, really top notch stuff, I had to adapt on the fly. Brilliant design!
absolutely incredible game, wow! Found the secret room... but now what?! There's surely something here like come on, those 4 long shapes (like all the critters paths) + the flowers make hearts when touched (also like critters). I've tried everything, am almost certain that there's still something hidden here... A real mystery!
