Controls question: I'm near the end of 7B, and the bird is back with a hint telling me to "Dash+Jump" with left stick held up. I've used the dash jump before just for mobility. But when I do the combo the bird asks for, Madeline just does a normal upwards diagonal dash, as if I were holding up+right or left, depending on which way she's facing. I've had no issues with the controls before this point, is there something obvious I'm missing? Happens with either stick or dpad (playing on Switch).

That one is a bit confusing yeah You want to dash upwards next to the wall and do a walljump mid-dash

Thanks! this tripped me up in the same way. i think it's cool that new tricks are introduced in serious technical rooms instead of giving you a safe, wide open area to practice like most games do, but the actual instructions were a bit too vague to be helpful in 7B

I think 8B has just about reached the limits of my skills and patience, but maybe I was just in a bad mood for it today.

as one of the playtesters I am at least partially to blame for that confusing/vague tutorial crow, I had already known about that move when I got there is my defense.

So I was replaying Chapter 1 on a whim, and got to your first meeting with Theo, who mentions his InstaPix account. So of course I looked it up and of course it's a thing that exists: https://www.instagram.com/theounderstars/ (it's actually really sweet and cool)

yeah I love that it fleshes out more backstory for Theo and establishes that the game took place, like, yesterday. In the picture of him hitchhiking, the driver is Matt Thorson and the guy in back playing the switch is Noel Berry.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_10qcSp62Vs SeXReX fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Feb 1, 2018 |

I cannot believe I missed the heart in Golden Ridge the first time around. Child me would be horribly disappointed. I've come around on that chapter, actually. I still don't like the wind mechanic, it constrains mobility in super unfun ways, but it's not unbearable.

Just finished this tonight and holy drat I loved this game. The second the beat kicked in after unleashing Badeline in chapter 2 I was hooked. Endgame: I don't think I've ever felt like I completed a journey more than I did beating chapter 7. The metaphor of Madeline's personal growth and climbing the mountain, the meter countdown as you make your way up the final challenging, and the loving buck-wild awesome soundtrack all combined so perfectly and got me so god drat pumped. I don't know if I'll ever try to 100% it but I'm definitely not done with this yet.

It took a few minutes.

Finished 5B last night and I spent the entire back half of 5A dreading how they were going to use the monsters and crystal in the B-side. But the B levels felt better designed and fairer than A. Part of that is being forced into learning the monster movement patterns upfront, but overall I think I had almost more difficulty with A.

I felt this way too but I was also compulsively trying to find possible collectibles in that section of 5A whereas in 5B I was able to just focus on progress.

Man 1B seems way harder than 2B to me. I think I should probably finish the normal version of levels before doing all of the B sides now.. I really enjoyed the unique movement schemes 2B required / taught, 1B is just busting me with a seemingly simple puzzle I just can’t seem to find the right timing of. Game is still amazing.

I realized by accident in the next room that I could just wall jump with it. Wait, that's not what you're supposed to do? What the hell!

I feel like there's probably been a few strawberries that I got the "wrong" way by trying until I made the unlikely jump/dash/etc.

I just finished the summit, and wow. That was an amazing final level. I normally consider myself pretty good at platformers, but some of the strawberries there are brushing against my skill ceiling and I think my right hand is now a permanently twisted claw. 14 hours, 2306 deaths, and 156 strawberries. Welp, tomorrow I'll do the full clear, and then I can start looking at B-sides!

This PICO-8 thing is uhh.. annoying. Probably just me being bad, but I dislike it.

The video showed me that I was actually stuck on the last room, the second dash through that gap was my approach also, and I am glad to see it was the right choice. I finished it. Thank you. 11 berries, 35:50, and 204 deaths. Probably time for a real break now! e: thread title v relevant. onesixtwo fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Feb 2, 2018 |

Dash first then jump, if you time it right you'll get extra momentum but also keep your dash to use again in the air
