CW: Mind control subtext, disorienting imagery. (pulsing, strobing, you name it) Some mildly suggestive language.
This is a Rubik's cube that is also a slot machine that is also a roulette wheel that is also an endless runner. It's probably not a TF trigger. That would be ridiculous.
Err... what !?! Its good... I think
My money / score went negative (is it supposed to) and then seemed to disappear altogether.
I got onto the running section and just wanted to play that, but I don't understand how I trigger that.
I think I need to go and have a lie down now...
to answer your points of confusion:
- i made people's money disappear if it went too negative because i didn't want them to feel bad if they lost too much! (i now worry that might be confusing)
- you trigger the endless runner by producing
Ko bo ldon the machine, either vertically or horizontally
i wonder if documenting this would make for a better game!
enjoy your snooze.
I don't know how you did it, but if this isn't pure perfection, I don't know what is. At first, seeing the word kobold pop up just made me go "hey that's me!!!" in a sort of jokey way, didn't really think too much of the whole game, but getting an insane stroke of luck on the runner to where the cube just kept getting matching lines, all the way to the platforms and everything else disappearing?? And being repeatedly called a good kobold and being told I was made for this??? I think I've found my new favorite pastime, holy fuck
Also I wish it actually was a tf trigger >:{
@orion Oh god! This is the exact kind of reception I was hoping for. I'm even pleased you noticed the "everything fades away for a while" outcome, which is relatively hard to reach. (it takes 5 playthroughs followed by a run with at least 13 coins)
I hope you continue playing! Thank you.
wtf is the 3d-ish runner section that is popping up? Wowzie...ehm, I glad I played for a bit, but I was actually about to stop playing before this happened and i would think the whole discover the game thing would work, even if you showed at the start that there is more than the cube. Bc that was very confusing and without my "developer goggles" I would have stopped playing.
A little hook at the start would definitely work out very well :)
@orion thanks to your comment I kept going and glad I did. I kept hitting my head as a kobold on the top of things and that killed the run so I had to be extra careful. Eventually managed to trigger it twice... and... I kinda want to keep playing... and staring.
Definitely not having thoughts about being a kobold and serving a dragon, no sir-y...
Whhhhaaaatttt?!?!?!?
This game is bonkers, in the best kind of way.
I managed to get 145 coins thanks to a long run until I was trapped between blocks above and in front that had no gap to jump through.
This reminds me of the kind of weird humour in old ZX Spectrum games like Manic Miner and the games by Automata.
@dredds I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I'm still really proud of it and I wish more people had seen it when it came out.
