im stuck after i got U i dont know what else to do like i know where H is but i cant get to it because i fall past it and i cant figure out how to get H or what to do next (please help
Same here. The start mechanic doesn't work in the H room [new version after speedrun vid 3mo ago], or any room around it as far as I can see. Nor are there any activated speech boxes.
Also it's possible to lose letters in the room below H, they float to the ceiling if shot left.
bugs i have found so far: -if you shoot a lot at the shades guy, you can lose letters permanently
-when you add water to the bottom right room, it lets you leave to the right out of bounds
-the movement of text boxes can push you into blocks, which lets you move around very strangely
-the sides of moving blocks can warp jimi up or down
-the halloween save can interfere with the normal save in weird ways
-winning the game made giving the cat any letter (or maybe just e?) win the game instantly
one time i got the halloween textbox to appear in the normal game, i jumped and it warped me through the floor into the cat room, and i gave them a single letter to beat the demo in 14 seconds
This game is so cool! It takes some puzzling to figure out some of the mechanics; it's a little weird that only that one room has the star * T effect and that it does multiple different things, and the dialogue with NPCs could perhaps be sign-posted a bit more (maybe some hint as to what letter they want?), but overall, it's a fascinating game that's a lot of fun to explore and I look forward to the rest of it!!
I made this account very specifically for this comment. I cannot figure out where to go from the room with the H powerup in it; I feel like I need it to progress due to the H gate in the cat guy's room, but I'm unsure.
wait, I think i figured out something! when you type s to the cat dude, he says "start. it is important to convert rooms" so i went to the room where you have to press star t, and i pressed it again, and it changed the room, so try that
The new update was tons of fun, I rather liked the underwater mechanics and the new letter throwing (I'm pretty sure I couldn't throw up before). Managed to get my Quest underway, although I almost softlocked with a speech bubble provided by The Speaker (as I'm calling them)
Very VERY excited for this game! I enjoy what we have so far. A few notes I'd like to give:
1. If you start in the wrong place, it'll softlock you.
2. The jump height feels somewhat inconsistent? In that first room for example, to grab the A's from the top message, Jimi is just a bit short to get it. But if you jump enough he'll eventually grab them - maybe I'm not good at gauging it, but it doesn't seem to visually correspond to the platform jiggle?
I'm definitely going to donate when I'm available to do so. I hope this project can thrive! <3
This game's really cool! I'm a little stuck though. I'm trying to get the "S" letter. I shot the dude across the gap (the one who says "Press Start"). Can't see any way to get across the gap. It seems like maybe the text-box platforms aren't spawning in the right place when I shoot him? (they all spawn way over on the right side of the screen)
they spawn in the right place, but you've got to turn the room into a star room to wrap around the edges and get the S scroll. the character is giving you a hint on how to do so...
Had fun with the prototype - this seems like a great idea for a metroidvania with lots of potential for exploring and backtracking as you gather letters.
Loved it! Some of the text bubbles, like the one on top in the first scene, are not easy to reach by jumping, but overall it's a game I found simply amazing!

once you get q feed it to cat looking guy or something and then type what the textbox says (youre at the end)
i love this gme

it is any letter
oh yeah i should also mention that this game is awesome, and i can't wait for the full release
how do I do the water part

Just saw this new update and it is great! This game has really come far from three months ago :)
can't believe it's been that long :o

I'm having the same problem, I cannot seem to get that h, and i cant see any other way to progress

i almost never do this but as a fellow game dev i thought you would probably be motivated by fanart so
ooh this is lovely!!
is there a way to win, because i cant really speedrun if theres no ending
the game currently ends when you reply to the mysterious cat character with the keyword 'QUEST'.
theres a cat?
oj the statue also i think its bugged cause it happes when i type que

wen next update
NOW
nice concept!
i did a speedrun:
heck yeah! it is indeed a WR, i've had someone else speedrun this and they took over a minute.
Ooh, I like the concept. Looking forward to the rest
very cool! the wife found this delightful and insisted we pay immediately :-p
i believe i have softlocked
no letters left
go right using the ladder
i cant get passed the bats because you need letters to kill them, but i dont have an
y
just hard reset youll get back to where you were quickly
i did, imagine i got myself in the same situation again, heh, heh, heh.
it took a solid 30 minutes to shoot the guy idk
How to progress after you get the S
hold shift press 8 and t
Neat idea, but the game seems a bit broken in a number of ways.
oh boy, tht was difficult -<-'
no matter how many times i press the asterisk button in the room where you get the S block, it doesn't work :/
which keyboard layout do you have?
the normal kind, qwerty
are you hitting 8 and t at the same time? you dont need to hold shift
ohh thank you, i was pressing them one at a time
Is it possible to get to the S block or get some of the other letters like I in the game?
in the room with S hit * and t. You cant get I though.
I meant the room that has the E block after you get the ability to use the S key
I liked the game so much that I had to post it on my other channel.
how do you press star
Here, my friend.
finally
i looked at code, turns out theresnothing behind the s
can someone tell me how do i get back to the start room
Very curious game. Walkthrough + Ending.
i made a world map for whatever reason
This is amazing so far!
https://freeimage.host/i/HQwycrX If you make the first room to the right a star room you can get out.
i'm wondering if i should limit star room making to the one room where it's necessary. it would break internal logic but save players from glitches.

Edit: Oh I got it, thanks! That was quite sneaky! I've turned on debug mode by accident though. Any idea how I can turn it off?
it is a bit of a pun - 'press Star T'. so the asterisk key on your keyboard and T.
Ah, got it, thanks! It's a great game! Very clever concept and inventive puzzles. Looking forward to seeing more of it! :)
thank you for playing! you will definitely see more of it - i see that you've followed me, i post devlogs regularly so check your feed often!
this comes up if you shoot a bunch of letters and then walk into a checkpoint.
Another issue is if you die when you hit new game you go back to your old save. (this might only be possible when you clip though).
>this comes up if you shoot a bunch of letters and then walk into a checkpoint.
thanks for reporting, should be fixed now.
>Another issue is if you die when you hit new game you go back to your old save. (this might only be possible when you clip though).
yeah, i think that's a clipping problem. i purposefully don't want to format the save file when starting a new game.
i think i beat the game the unintentional way, by using bugs to go through walls and found a statue
beat the game but I did it through the way that said you arent supposed to be here yet because I didnt know how to do it the other way. peace
Had fun with the prototype - this seems like a great idea for a metroidvania with lots of potential for exploring and backtracking as you gather letters.

fun concept! i cant really think of anything i would change besides more content.
also, i found a glitch, epilepsy warning
it can be accessed by jumping on top of "he only knowns the letter a" and allows you to go into rooms your not supposed to be able to access
your image seems to be broken.
anyway, this image should (hopefully) work
from what i can tell it's patched in the newest version anyway, so i guess it doesnt really matter anymore
