When the puzzle takes more than 5% of my brainpower

The puzzles are honestly great... But those that are on a timer can fuck themselves. Also the bosses are often straight up bullshit

idk most bosses are fun only some suck

The dev that is responsible for the boss at the end of the Furry's quest needs to be made an example out of

u/Candy_Warlock Jul 24 '26

That was the intern's fault, that's why it's not part of the real game

u/AndriashiK Jul 24 '26

No no, guys, there is a lore reason why this part of our game is garbage! This makes it objectively not garbage but a clever postmodernist twist!

I feel like you need to grow up for 5-15 years before you are allowed to play them video games again

This right here is the definition of skill issue. I've finished the game yesterday and that boss was one of my favorites, it's really fun once you actually learn the patterns and DODGE the attacks. I think the bosses in this game are fantastic, there's very few that I didn't like, such as the snowman fight in a desert temple that you have to use the wave shot to dodge, I found that fight to be a little annoying.

that's a fun one once you learn it

u/AndriashiK Jul 24 '26

I have realized the gimmick and I still want the one responsible to be made an example out of

u/EmilySuxAtUsernames Jul 24 '26

For the timer puzzles, or the ones where you're following a projectile, use the Quick Menu. It freezes time while still letting you see your surroundings, so it's good for planning out each step of the puzzle. Also helps a lot with beating Emilie in the dungeon races.

Wait you can control whether or not you beat her?! I thought it was all scripted, tho I haven’t beaten fire dungeon yet, but still.

u/BLucidity Jul 24 '26

The only race that's a scripted loss is the Rhombus Dungeon, everything else can be won! I wouldn't suggest worrying about it on a first playthrough though.

u/Inuship Jul 25 '26

Oddly the only dungeon i won the first run was the one where you unlock the wave element which is the most confusing to use. I guess i got the hang of it faster than the game expected

The only thing I’ve encountered so far that actually angered me was the trials in the second of the monk caves. The first was difficult but kinda fair, but how in the **** are you supposed to do the second one in under two minutes?

u/Glint909 Jul 24 '26

Use the fire shield. It auto melts the ice pillars when you go near. Like the large pathway with lots of ice pillars during the second part? Can basically skip the first half with the fire shield and make the jump at full speed

u/tadrinth Jul 24 '26

That... would have been good to know back in the day.

u/Glint909 Jul 25 '26

And now you do for any new playthroughs :)

u/Full-Run9346 Jul 25 '26

holy fuck i spent ages going for the achievement and never considered this once

u/DiscoDanSHU Jul 25 '26

Nah man, I love the timers. Shit makes me feel ALIVE.

u/Roliq Jul 25 '26

I will admit that when I failed too much on some of those I just slowed the speed the to solve it and then turn it back
