Nope, they're strawberries.

Hearts look like this:

There is one on every regular level (extremely well hidden), one at the end of every B-Side and others too (which I won't spoil here as they are post-game)

Right. I know them know. I thought they were strawberries I'd already collected

This is one of the most overrated games of recent memory
It's good, but I don't see how it's in best game of the year/all time list
Cause they tacked on a boring plot to do with mental health issues?
Other than that it's fairly rudimentary platforming that's been done before to death, and without the character of meat boy.
Besides the dude in the hotel the characters are all bland

There’s C-sides as well :pac:

I completed enough B-sides to unlock the ‘good’ ending, two or three maybe. While undoubtedly hard, there’s something about the game that makes me less frustrated than similar ones. Maybe just the fluidity of the mechanics, or the one screen checkpoints.

Retr0gamer · 23-12-2018 10:46pm

Reminds me a lot of super meat boy. I think I've recovered from the PTSD that game gave me to have a crack at this.

Encrypted Pigeon · 13-01-2019 1:24pm

This game is really addictive, I said I was going to take a break after the summit, as it took me long enough, at it on and off since launch. But I really want to see what happens

in core

, so back after the items I need.

For those of you that enjoy the pain, some more details of what is on the way in upcoming dlc.

Zero-Cool · 17-02-2019 11:34am

Wow this game does not **** around

Sabre0001 · 18-02-2019 4:56pm

Got introduced to this by a friend over the weekend who love my love-in with Super Meat Boy in person...and yep, it's right up my alley as I suspected! Going to be purchased in the not-too-distant future (have a couple of titles to tip away on and once I get this, that could be the end for them).

Zero-Cool · 25-02-2019 12:50am

What a game, what a ****ing game. The first few chapters, I thought this was your usual platform em up but between the story and ingenious level design, I was hooked. Just reached the summit and even though my fingers are in bits, I absolutely loved it.

Finished at 6 hours 59 minutes, 1246 deaths and 23 of 175 strawberries. Honestly I gave up collecting strawberries at chapter 2 as I knew I'd drive myself mad if I tried to get all of them. I found one been which I saw what it was gonna unlock at the end. No crystal hearts

Oh ****, there's a

core...

Ah ****, I'm guessing I need 4 crystal hearts

Edit: just tried a B side, that can **** right off

Name change is certainly required

. Great job though, well done

I don't mind admitting I turned on assist mode towards the end to aid with getting though it and the achievements. My time in Pico-8 was 36 minutes or so with 512 deaths 8 of those minutes spent on the last screen. I regret using assist now as Pico-8 was harder in many ways than much of the base game. (no assist in Pico-8 and you can't cling to walls)

In the end it was some random twitches that saw me to the summit.

Much better game than the likes of meat boy over all especially in that they basically had a cheat mode to get you through the game if you got stuck and there was a decent tale to be told in it.

And yeah I dashed through the B and C sides

nix · 05-05-2019 10:02pm

Finally picked this up last night, im a good chunk through chapter 7 so safe to say im loving it. The aul thumbs starting to get sore though so gonna take a break for the night

I find it hard to not go for strawberries when i see them, so have only left 1 or 2 behind as they looked like a pain in the arse to get, alot of the ones i did get were tough also but i was alot less stressed at the time i came upon them

What do the B-side tapes do? do they open up a new part of the level or?

Anybody try and collect everything? is it a monster pain in the arse? :pac:

Exceptional (even by GMT standards) video about the game’s movement mechanics here. An accessible deep dive into what gives this stellar game such oomph.

Sabre0001 · 01-08-2019 10:09am

Really interesting video. Never knew about most of those techniques and the breakdown of the numbers and non-punishing mechanics was fascinating too. Another game where they focused on getting the movement right before tackling the game itself (but then going back and ripping up levels if movement changes were needed!)

If you like that video, this is well worth a look also - its about Dead Cells, and how it doesn't let the mechanics of the game get in the way of the fun.

Sabre0001 · 01-08-2019 5:01pm

Very interesting. Dead Cells is one of the games on my to-play list. Like the subtle movement tweaks to make things easier as well as the ability to cancel (can be very frustrating otherwise). Level design sounds a little like Spelunky's approach (think that was a Gamemaker's Toolkt video too).

Dead cells is an absolute stormer,

pro tip - do not unlock the spartan sandals!

Star Lord · 02-08-2019 12:14pm

Yeah, I absolutely love Dead Cells. Fantastic game!

Why not unlock the Spartan Sandals though?

to keep them out of the loot pool of weapons that you can pick up, (I personally hate them anyway).

nix · 02-08-2019 2:36pm

Yeah the spartan sandles suck, they can do good damage but very situational.

I myself got tired of the game, loved it but having to start at the beginning every death wears you down, even with all the weapons/upgrades you unlock. Pretty sure i was at the last boss (

kings guard

) and he was a massive difficulty jump and having to go through the entire game again just to get an attempt in was far too frustrating and time consuming

I'm sure the more i grinded would have made it easier little by little, but that just bored me to be honest.
