Is there any way to cancel a Spyke order? I accidentally asked for two of the same kind of shoes from him and I don't want to wait 2 more days to pick another thing for him to steal find.

Order a different thing from a different inkling and choose to overwrite the shoes.

I'm not sure sponges would work in multiplayer, since they'd get big when you shoot them, and also get big when your opponents shoot them, so once active they'd just be big all the time.

Ink rails, though, would work great with the right stage layout.

Sponges get smaller when Octopaint hits them, so it could work in multiplayer if they played it the same way (repeated hits with the same color grow, with the other color shrink). If anything they'd be unworkable because in a firefight they'd always be small as they become heavily contested.

Has anyone seen a guide to things like Defense Up break points floating around? I was thinking of making a guide but if someone who's already unlocked everything has handled it then it'd be a bit of a waste.

Try it out yourself on the firing range, they have dummies in there with stacks of the perk.

They could just be locked to a specific team depending on which side of the map they're on, so the ones on the orange team's side grow with orange ink and shrink with blue ink and so on.

I'm wondering we're going to get the Ink Geysers in some levels too. They don't seem to need to be team specific at all, and are good for splatting people as well as moving around.

Do abilities from items stack at all?

Also man I love rollers, getting those last 10 seconds of unopposed rolling in and knowing you won the game because of it feels kickin rad.

Someone in on of my games was using the Hero Roller Replica, so I'm assuming that's from the Inkling Boy challenges.

I think I've gotten to the point where I really love using the normal grenades, it's so satisfying when you bounce them off walls and down ramps to get kills. I'm super glad the dual squelcher has both them and echolocation.

As far as the Disruptor + Splattershot Jr Custom goes, I like to toss them around corners or directly at people using rollers, it totally ruins the roller's movement speed and makes them easy pickings. Since the gun itself doesn't use much ink and the bombs aren't too costly you can afford to toss them until you see you've hit someone and move ink for the skrill. With the Echolocator up it just makes things even easier.

If they get zero points, they could be disconnecting. Otherwise, painting walls, maybe? Remember that little kids play this game too.

They lost connection from the game. Even if they'd earned points beforehand, they get zero on the scoreboard.

You get zero points if you disconnect. The game is so hectic that it's hard to notice that someone is missing until the end.

I am having all of the fun with this game, but good god, what is with the campers? I can't complain when they're on the opposing team since they're sitting there not scoring, but victory in this game is tied to everything EXCEPT spattering. You'd think they'd realize that camping is counter-intuitive to winning.

If they're using the Chargers, they might be trying to get their own score up that way.

Yeah, the only way to tell for sure is if your teammate never respawns. Of course, when you lose almost the whole map out of nowhere, you get a pretty good hint.

Camping seems to be a really lovely strat. Mobility is what the game is all about. If you're not swimming, you should be creating a place to swim.

This game is really prone to "communication errors" that kick you out of the game, no rage involved.

Spyke charges something like 5-10x the amount that it would cost in a shop. I guess that's the price to pay for on-demand stuff.
