Haha you can splat them while they're all lined up on the back wall? If so :woomy:


It took me the most tries of any test probably, but it's doable. Intercepting them on/near the pads is key

I had more trouble with The bingo level. Then I realized you could knock the balls out of the holes.

that was the last level I did. I used the roller on someone’s suggestion in here; killing them quickly is key. took a bunch of tries. basically just learn where they spawn and try to kill them quickly and just keep at it till you squeak by, that’s what I did. and grab splashdown or something for an emergency

The worst one was the blow up all the boxes in one hit fish balloon level

It just wasn't fun to try over and over. It didn't feel like an accomplishment like beating :orb:

Look on the bright side.



Using a roller and killing as many enemies as you can while they spawn in is the best way to do it. Make sure to kill the ones about to use specials.

So general consensus is the DLC is good and worth it? I enjoyed the first player mode for the most part. It was really nice to play while having long phone conversations since it was generally much slower paced than multiplayer. If it's good I'll pick it up once I finish HK and Mario Tennis's Story Mode.

It's crazy good. The level design is on a whole other plane of existence than Octo Valley. It's pretty hard though.

I can live with that. The Switch has been really good this summer. There may be no "full" games I'm really interested in, but smaller rich experiences are really great.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
Octo expansion sounds cool but I don't really have time for more single player content right now. I'd pay for more multiplayer content, but I guess we already get that for free, so I've got nothing to complain about!!
Whaddya doin here Nintendo, being nice or something? :)

You rarely get those the higher you get. This is probably because the players are not only good but can keep their connections alive.

Beat the orb level! Killing them as soon as they landed whenever possible was definitely key to victory there.

Girl Power Station was awful. It's the only level I've lost money on so far with 60 mem cakes.

Took until I said 'gently caress it' and switched to the Heavy Splatling instead of using the roller before I managed it, possibly because I actually know how to use that weapon.

These don't seem like full sets. At least I can see three sets where the shoes aren't new. In fact all 4 sets are wearing the same spy jacket with blue tie. Unless I am missing something, this isn't that bad. That being said, it still sucks. I want those glasses and goggles.

Nah its after the expansion chronologically, becuase Pearl points out that lots of people have "new hairstyles". So she's aware that there's suddenly octos in town, she just... found a way to ignore it :downs:

I read it as that she knows, but most squids don't and she doesn't want Marina to say too much

It's well established at this point that she won't hesitate to cut a fish in order to protect the fresh octoling population of Inkopolis.

I love the fact that it's so easy for teammates to completely screw eachother over and all end up with 9 clams. Even if you go out of your way to be a team player, if all three other squids on your team aren't playing along you're still in trouble.

It just means you hit max difficulty, which has a quota of 21/23/25.

Difficulty scales linearly between certain thresholds. Typically this is just between ranks, but there's a bit of a spike between Profreshional 100 and 600. Though if any of you want to know how exactly the difficulty changes things, here's a basic writeup of what changes.
