https://prnt.sc/RO1sVSxc-6TS Have I successfully broken it? :P I enjoy this game though lol.

hey this is pretty great! :D although just want to let you know, as this game has been recently added to cool math games (idk when precisely), it seems to be practically impossible there because the timer ticks down WAY faster for some reason, making it so it seems that only an AI could beat it.

No clue if you have any say over that, but just wanted to let you know regardless. This version doesn't have such an issue however and is great.

Found two bugs here, first off the level selection is for some reason very messed up, though I see screenshots of others posting a normal looking level select but I just see this: https://prnt.sc/VbyJDeps0SyA

Secondly, idk if this is intentional or not but you can make it up to this ledge, it's not easy though: https://prnt.sc/PKNIB87bb-U2

Neat game nonetheless!

Hi! So I noticed a minor bug on this game although sadly don't have a screenshot. You know the powerup that makes your Ammo = your HP? Apparently if you shoot but also get ammo at the same time you still die despite having 1 hp while dying. This I found out when shooting an enemy ship with 1 ammo/hp, getting that ammo/hp back via the upgrade, while also dying at the same time.

Still a fun game though! Love the goofy premise of it's story, and the gameplay is pretty neat. I like how if you time it right, you can move diagonally and not get hit potentially, though it's very hard.

Nookrium made a vid on Lost Settlers so that's how I found you :D

Adding to this; It's also possible to visit the void in "Whiteboard" 8-2 and 8-3.
UPDATE: After testing Whiteboard 8-2 and 8-3, I can safely confirm indeed you can go into the void both here and in cool math games. Here's a screenshot of me about to go into the void in 8-3!

Ty!!! I love breaking games and finding bugs in them, though note said bugs don't affect my overall opinion on the games XD Saw one of your games (Lost Settlers on a vid so i had to look through all your games. 

One of them (IMPERATOR VELIS) just blatantly didn't work for me though (shrugs) I guess that's the only time the bugs affect my opinion, because if I can't play the game I can't have an opinion XD Granted that one might just be a client-side issue.

Fun fact; if you move around before respawning, sometimes it causes you to move during the "Ready Player 1" screen, which will eventually cause you to die if you don't move. Here I have taken a screenshot of one such instance seconds from death; https://prnt.sc/ZwfHZsIEPPCP

Neat game though!

I got alittle over 10min! Along the way i found some glitch where i died in spikes but, for some reason, due to my hook thing, i teleported further down rather than back to the normal checkpoint. Moments later i figured out there was a checkpoint for the area i was in if i backtracked alittle. So i inadvertently skipped some of the game. Was fun though!

Ty! :D this was a lovely game and i'm happy i beat it! I've also been enjoying your other works (Loved your Detective GUI game, then found If Potato Meets Flag on cool math games and thought to look you up, glad i did! Lots of good games).

I did it! I broke out of the final level and... got softlocked i guess? XD I don't know what to do here but i'm happy I discovered this little secret! :D

Does this secret actually have any further secrets hidden within, or is this the "true end" after all? I've seen other games of yours and know many of them have secrets within secrets, so i'm wondering if the same logic applies here or not.

Also I realize this game is over 2 years old, but i just discovered it today and beat it the same day :D

Yes, as i mentioned in a different reply I couldn't beat the level because for some reason, clicking the sword icon didn't work. Once it did let me do that, I was able to beat the level and then the game! Thanks though! :D

FINALLY! I managed to beat the game. Ok, so, fantastic game, cute visuals, cute soundtrack. I agree with the jam's comments that the music can be repetitive and the NPC hitbox is too big (which can infact cause a near-infinate loop of dialogue) but it's still fantastic.

As far as the bugs go, honestly? The biggest one was the black hole gun glitch. Which, contrary to one of my edits, wasn't really linked to the button it seems, infact the button actually ruins the pathing and takes you back to the button instead of leading you to the actual treasure.

If the black hole gun didn't get stuck multiple times, I honestly likely would not have found most of the glitches that I did, as edits 1 and 2 were both started by being unable to get the black hole gun.

I also suggest checkpoints. It got alittle tedious getting the same items over and over when only 1 item was the issue. To the point where in my final attempt, I got the button uncovered first try without using the tracker XD 

Expanding on the possible checkpoint system, I recommend that when you get an item, the game should save, so if you die or anything like that, you'll be sent back to when you got that item on a safe, unblocked/undug tile etc. You should also be able to restart from the checkpoint incase you get stuck. I don't know how all this would do in coding though, i'm just giving ideas.

And once again, a reminder that finding bugs does NOT affect my opinion on any game. While many of my points here were influenced by the bugs, it's more that i'd like to see the bugs fixed than a negative review. After all, if I truly hated the game, would I have played the game over and over again - as tedious as the process may have been - just to try to beat the game?

(5 edits)

Haven't finished the game yet so i'll put further review/bug finding once i do, but so far i'm really enjoying this game!

So apparently this also became my bug-posting thread XD i'll update this with more bugs as i find them, and likely post a better review in the replies? Still loving this game btw even though i've had yet to be able to beat it. (Added in edit 3) 

Only issues i've found so far are bits when i thought i tracked the tracker down to 0M, only to dig in the wrong spot. And well, clipping through the river boundaries as shown in this video. WARNING: Intense screen shaking as a result of using the portal gun rapidly. Honestly the vid was at first just meant to be a little "Hey look! I'm stuck cause of the portal gun! How silly!" but then i broke the game even more as i made the vid XD I don't even know entirely how XD 

EDIT: So apparently that weird arrow thing i was trying to follow which ended up causing me to break the game, was infact the black hole gun which for some reason ended up being stuck in the hole i found it in, therefore not letting me obtain it... .-.

EDIT 2: So now i have video proof (Minor screen shaking, get a discord notice early on) about the black hole gun being stuck, and also stumbled upon even more glitches afterwards. (Also at about 3min in i try to salvage the black hole gun but kinnda mess up the attempt rip.)

EDIT 3: So apparently if an item is in a wormhole and you use a black hole, it will teleport to the other black hole upon the closing of the black hole, UNLESS, you first put the black hole on the currently-present option in the wormhole. At which point the game freezes, before crashing the entire page. Also i think that to get the black hole gun you MUST have the button timer going, which is why i failed to get it before thus causing previous halts in progression. Other bugs may or may not be related, idk. (Found to be false, infact messes with the pathing instead.)

EDIT 4: Welp. That happened. Got softlocked with no clue where the treasure could be. Welp. XD

Oh absolutely! Tbh i only found this entire gamejam recently from a vid i watched lately when i stumbled across this game. I'll be sure to check out your content now! :D Always happy to play some games, and also happy to find some bugs - even if unintentionally XD

This was amazing! I did find some silly little "glitches" here and there though. 

Please note; I break games all the time and love doing so! Finding glitches doesn't affect my opinion of the game whatsoever. This game was fantastic! ^-^ i even lost at first and played it again!

Ether way, the glitches;

Sometimes NPCs will be close to their quests yet still buy the lie even though they would probably know better. For instance, i saw a NPC's wife and Allan Mann head into the pub right next to me and the NPC. Despite this, he still bought my lie XD Another time, a lazy NPC was just afew feet away from the merchant, yet still bought the lie. Both of these are minor, but i feel are worth noting.

The only other glitch i found was alittle more major. One NPC apparently phased through the wall into the cave with the treasure. Here's the image with the glitch. (just click the word "glitch" and open up the image. I shared it with two discord friends first so i got the link from there.)

I just cannot stop playing this game XD It's adorable and phenomenal! I love it!!!

Ohhh, so the reason i couldn't beat the level was because i couldn't click the sword icon... Idk why it wouldn't work before, but i got it to work now! ty!

Hello! I am having a tough time on this level; https://prnt.sc/16ovxl1 . I don't see any way to beat it? I'm only able to get the heart meter through the door before it closes (The player is not fast enough and i'm not quick enough with the text box, though it seems it's impossible to move the text box through the door anyway). My sword is able to clip through some of the wall but this is useless.
The heart meter is not able to go into the smaller hole from where the enemies are coming from, I can't take damage to make it do so, and trying to block the door results in this silliness; https://prnt.sc/16ow934 (Or sometimes it doesn't but no matter which happens the door is still closed and impassable)

I tried looking through the comments on the jam submission thing, but unfortunately none of those comments were helpful to this specific level at all. If someone could help me out that'd be great, and ether way this game is fantastic! Please do not let my comment deter from the amazing game this is; I've a tendency to find bugs and enjoy doing so!

Amazing game! However, i've noticed a time where my orange/fire/red slime managed to just, casually spawn and stand on spikes, and another where the poor orange/fire/red slime is now falling into the spikes, unabled to be saved - https://prnt.sc/167225i :(
Note that despite this, i'll be sure to rate this game highly! Ik it's near-impossible (if not actually impossible) to find fix all bugs in just 48 hours, and i've a tendency to find them anyway XD I'm just letting you know, maybe for a possible post-jam version or such.

https://prnt.sc/100e0xz got stuck again ^^;

You know, i was about to write about a level being impossible (since 1 cube has to get to a goal by itself but cannot), but then Red fell out of the world, so now the level is even more impossible XD https://prnt.sc/wgphty https://prnt.sc/wgpj07 Also i only made it this far due to the purple pad infinite jump glitch... I was hoping to use the "Jump on the boundaries of the world" glitch to try to beat the level but... well, this happened.

(1 edit)

oh sweet :o watching this i can see there's a timer, before i was getting so overwhelmed with little time to react or even examine my surroundings, so i had no clue what to do or what the goal was. 

I was thinking it had something to do with those rust-colored blocks or the circles - since i had never seen them in the game prior. At least now ik i don't have to worry about those XD

In anycase, thanks! ^-^

How do you even get past the part with what appears to be a boss? Is it even possible...?

Same! i got a game with like, literally every tower place, all upgrades, and all the golden ball thingies unlocked XD it's got $2.5e7 atm .-. I can prestige for 1079 golden balls .-.

you can start by placing 3 shrink rays vertically in the general middle area, and work to get range; or get it right away! I'd recommend also getting the upgrade that lets the shrink rays target 2 balls at once :D Extremely helpful early game!

Played the newest version; i'm now unsure if it's even possible to get into a store .-. My team just keeps battling until they get to a splitter slime who has something like 12+ attacks per turn, and then they (unsurprisingly) die. I've found some directional stuff, but i have no idea how to activate or put it on them. I tried using it just like all the other morale stuff but there's no indicator, and it seemed to have no effect on the outcome.

Oh nice! :D I'll check it out later today :)

(Btw i do have a discord, but yeah idk if there's messaging here or not. I don't want to give my discord out to a public page .-.)

Yay! Glad to hear it! ^-^

this was cute :D The controls were abit slippery though, and i didn't know i was supposed to drop down after killing the boss at first. On the bright side; https://prnt.sc/tnkhwt I got to stand on the boss! XD Still, really cute game and i can't wait to vote for it :D

http://prntscr.com/tkp7h8 - Will probably try to not choose "War Crimes" and get a better job, but this is pretty good :D 

ofc! :D Oh also it seems i forgot to mention that if you delete one of the glitched plants, all plants within it's proximity glitch out .-.

Pretty good game, but there are a fair number of bugs. For starters, as i've already replied to another's comment; Occasionally, plants become invisible at random and will lose all of their effects in the process (So vines no longer slow the wolf down), but you still cannot plant over them, and when hovering over, they still have a trash can symbol; https://prnt.sc/tk2ila

As you may have also noticed during the first pic, you also have plantable tiles growing at random places - even outside the map - and can also plant on them; https://prnt.sc/tk2i9j

On top of all that, right clicking unplantable tiles lets you plant on them .-. https://prnt.sc/tk2n4h

Still, pretty good game! 5/5 on all parts and i can't wait for it to be refined etc in a post jam version :D

Well.... Technically there is a lifespan. It's clearly a glitch, but sometimes the plants just disappear and lose all their effects but you can't plant over them, and if you delete them it glitches out all the plants in it's proximity; https://prnt.sc/tk2ila

True XD I felt bad enough trapping the cat up there, but while i'd get a good laugh out of the cat escaping (I have a tendency to break games as-is) it'd also be pretty sad XD

Ofc! I have a tenancy to break games so it can be fun to bughunt sometimes :P Plus with this game by putting my ship to the wall i can just literally make this an idle game, so it wasn't hard to beat the game 2 more times after the 2nd playthrough when i found out i could just do that. I just watched videos while waiting for the game to finish XD
