Good-o!
I'm obviously missing something very obvious, but I dunno how to delete tiles.
note: other than by utilising the UNDO command, which isn't ideal. I just want to click and delete.

yeah i'm not sure how to do that either, so i replace them with a "blank" tile (from the world section of tiles - there's a blank empty square and a black solid square)
its fiddly and stupid really

Was A Short Hike that game vom said was lovely or was A Short Hike not that game at all
It turns out I already owned this, due to it bring in that one million games for a fiver bundle on it h.io last year or whenever, without me actually realising it was in there
Anyway it was so lovely I don't actually mind having paid for it twice now

I bought
another million games bundle TODAY as it happens, that also has A Short Hike in it
maybe I'll play it again on my laptop
but so far I've just been playing Hidden Folks while pretending to be working, which is like a Where's Wally kinda thing with nice isometric pictures to scroll around looking for little people. honestly it's barely even a game really but it sure does beat work

also I've played Wandersong, Figment and Minit already and they were all quite good
and other things probably I don't know there's 900 fucking games
Re: Games

well, probably about 300 games and then a load of things like "dungeon tileset 42" and "check it out I made a basic gravity engine and then gave up"

I've almost made a game on that playdate thing now. contains essentially no actual interactive elements at all (beyond moving around to different rooms, talking to screaming monsters)

I think I managed to get to about 106% complete on it which is clearly ridiculous but also confirms that it was a game I enjoyed very much indeed

I can't remember what % I was at when I finished it. I kept playing it for quite a while after finishing it though which is pretty rare and confirms that I also Really Liked It!
There's a sequel out soon-ish I think

The version I've got is the "voidheart" edition, which i presume has extra dlc stuff in it (the coliseum and the hard versions of the bosses maybe? i don't actually know)
anyway maybe that is the extra percentages over 100% that you gained

I think I've done all I'm ever going to now. I just got all the caterpillars, and the only obvious thing left to do (apart from ghost bosses) is some quest where I have to cross the entire map without being hit, which I'm never going to manage, and will probably only serve to make me hate the game a bit.
Re: Games
Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2022 8:27 pm

I did that and it wasn't actually that bad! I think it only took mea couple of tries
I did all the ghost bosses as well I think
I don't think I ever managed the hardest part of the coliseum... and then there's also a sort of "boss rush" mode you can unlock somewhere and I didn't get very far with that

Yeah I can't do that final coliseum level other. But then I am absolutely rubbish at fighting, and have never actually worked out how to use the special sword techniques in combat at all
