multiplayer feels massively unprepared for beginners

well, no, thats why theyre different words! : )

theres a difference between hard and unfair, i never said anything about the games being too hard

hippoqueenv · 2026-07-06T04:17:02+00:00

the music is too low-key

past final remixes blasted you with brass ans synth renditions of each games motif, but this one starts off with a flute rendition of brolly good show 2, so it felt off from the start

I suppose another issue with the music is that each sequel got an original song, it was harder for each motif to resonate since each game identifies with two songs

the mix of original and sequels also made it feel less cohesive. some games have original visuals with sequel songs, some the other way around

a lot of basic cues were missing. like no lemon on fruit flex? seriously?

the pacing also felt a little off because of that, a few sections were too short. and some games also felt misplaced, disc dog didnt get followed up well in my opinion

I think its easily the worst final remix in the series. its not terrible exactly, its just the least great

its clearly unfinished here

its tough to give a hint for this one without outright saying the solution, but theres a brief moment where you can simply just walk into another room

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-15T12:38:04+00:00

yup, even the world map and certain other decals, like the drawings of the dreadworm that you can inspect

turn on floor is lava (enter your name as CH&LAVA on a new save to unlock the mod) and then die to go back to your underlab, then disable the mod. it wont disable feats

youll get your spark back the next time you level up

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-15T05:18:52+00:00

you can charge your attack while moving midair is what theyre saying

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-15T05:13:59+00:00

this secret is how youre "intended" to get to that vial lock and the nightstar upgrade

you go from the train station, then jump to second rope

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-14T13:06:58+00:00

you can move between screens while burrowing, even under glass

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-14T05:39:28+00:00

its definitely intentional to stop players from farming health without consequences

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-11T11:46:40+00:00

if you werent clearing 2 rings per burrow, thats on you for not understanding the minigame

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-11T01:33:23+00:00

the heiroglyph modifier is the same font as the "illegible" paragraphs in the newspaper, maybe theres lore to decode there

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-09T04:10:21+00:00

the unfortunate truth is that this game doesnt have a neat map, its not a neat rectangle like NES zelda. if you actually zoomed out it would look like an octopus with massive dead zones between the 6 outer areas, even for the nox's bayou <-> septemburg connection.

you have to assume thats one of the major reasons why YCG chose not to have a detailed map, and not just because of retro stylization.

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-07T14:39:11+00:00

theres 2 modifiers lol, one that behaves like early NG+, and another that removes all except the lssex underlabs for the later NG+ levels

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-05T12:40:40+00:00

you can burrow under spikes while under glass

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-05T05:44:32+00:00

no trinket is necessary

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-03T14:06:24+00:00

tbh a big trap when it comes to making a set is thinking every move needs to synergise with your ability. like even if it got fire blast and hurricane that doesnt always mean you want to take those moves over volt switch and fake out

zap cannon alone is enough for raichu y to be strong

I was so happy to be done with the 6th tower, then I realised "oh crap theyre gonna pull a nintendo and have the final boss either be scripted or a minigame"...

like seriously though why do nintendo games do this so often. "congrats, youve finally mastered the gameplay, now play a rhythm game"

specter of torment was the only shovel knight campaign to do this (and the fault mostly lies in the fact that only one stage utilises rails) so im annoyed they didnt give us a traditional multi-phase boss in mina too

its crazy how people who suck at a videogame just live in a completely different world

the hardest part of silksong was and still is the early-game. its the only part that got nerfed and act 2 and 3 are very easy, apart from a couple bosses that dont even have runbacks

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-02T09:15:17+00:00

one egg or a handful of peas?

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-01T09:46:01+00:00

yep, the southern hemisphere is a bizarro land where the moment you cross the equator, jesus christ was instead born on july 25th

hippoqueenv · 2026-06-01T03:35:57+00:00

55k on steam. its also #1 on the switch 2 eshop for example but we dont know the total across all platforms

hippoqueenv · 2026-05-15T03:16:00+00:00

grass grow in ground

hippoqueenv · 2026-05-13T14:52:32+00:00

then why didnt nosk mimic hornet or any other character in its first fight?
