I'll probably make a Supraland thread when I'm done gawking over it in the next few days. I'm just reporting that I solved an endgame puzzle backwards. It gave me the option, I didn't find the right entrance point to solving it, and ended up traversing almost the entire map through specific points to arrive at a certain door with a very specific flag to open it. I got it open, and realized that I am stuck at the bottom of an enemy gauntlet that I cannot kill because I didn't drop in from the top of the gauntlet. I feel infinitely clever, and simultaneously like a dumbass. I feel like that's the Supraland motto in a nutshell.

I know this is not the most appropriate thread to put a spoiler, but I think need to reply to this. If this is the room with the giant beating heart, you did not go in the wrong way, you need to use the enemies themselves to get to the top. Note that some are made of wood or metal.

Wow the Supraland demo is pretty long. Think I’ve played for two hours or so. Gives a really good feel for the game. Definitely going to pick it up.

At 13.5 hours I'm up to 98% completion in Supraland SIU. Apparently I'm missing 2 chests, 1 upgrade, and 3 secrets? Not sure how that all adds up, but having a blast.

I'll be picking up the new one soon!

I'm at ~14h playtime with 59% completion, just beat the questline but I'm a bit stumped where the postgame content stuff is? There's a nook in the lava area I haven't explored, with the minecraft steve, but I'm stumped on the 2/1 purple rings puzzle. the rings activate on a force cube, but it feels like I need a cool down upgrade to make it work or something. You can use the force beam on the wood, but I don't see how that helps. Also I found a grey key on the outside of cagetown, but I don't remember where the lock is. Anyone can push me in the right directions?

You can use the force beam on the wood, but I don't see how that helps. If you finished the boss, go back to cagetown and go to the third floor. There's a "maze" underneath the ramp up to it if you haven't been up there yet. There's one more sequence to get through before you reach the full postgame, and some postgame upgrades with things to hunt for across the whole game in a house up there. For the first puzzle near Steve, there's a post-game area with a lot of puzzles in a row that test your knowledge with all the tools in your arsenal you will have without post-game upgrades. It's located in the area behind the fifth pipe, and to get to it you'll need to abuse the verticality you can get with the cube and the green gun to get over pretty short cliffs. It reintroduces a mechanic from the first game where things aren't the right color, and need to be recolored by putting a similarly colored item into the pipe. Look straight down at the ground, then look back at the pipe. You should be able to figure out how to get all three rings to go at once at that point. You cannot finish that room until you find scrap metal. The grey key lock is just inside cagetown to your left. Poke around a little bit, it should be obvious but there's no reason to go there unless you're lighting candles. If somebody else wants to make a Supraland thread that would be cool, otherwise I'll try to make one tonight because there really shouldn't be spoiler bars in this thread, and it is a secret-heavy game

Yeah I've been to the third floor, and I've introduced true trickle-down economy. But I have no idea where to go next. Thanks for the other hints though! Edit: never mind, I'm stupid. There's a door that used to be closed.

I should clarify, when I said "that room" I meant the room behind that three ring puzzle, not the room with the pipe. I think you can get everything in that particular postgame puzzle sequence without any bonus upgrades, you just have to flex your brain a bit.

Play posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1432050/Nobody_Saves_the_World/ I am vaguely interested in this game. Any impressions so far? The steam page is a bit weird. There are mostly positive reviews but for some reason, Chinese people seem to really dislike it. 90 percent of the negativ reviews are in Chinese. According to my translator, they are mostly in agreement that it's a brush game? I am fairly sure that this is a direct translation of some term.

No idea what a brush game is. looking at the steam discussion a few folks have asked about that and the devs have responded to say there are bugs with some intel chips that cause crashes when the game loads up. It sounds like it's affecting folks generally

The Chinese reviews seem to mostly be saying it's simple and boring. Brush Game seems to be a term for repetitive equipment-based RPG style action games like Borderlands, Diablo, the Division etc. There is also a bunch of people reporting crashing.

Played for about 45 minutes, seems pretty cool. Mix up of top down Zelda and Diablo (and honestly, mobile games) with a neat gimmick. You can turn into different creatures with different abilities -- the rat can poison and eat people, the archer can hit people in a line -- that come with with a constantly increasing quest list. As quests complete, you level up the individual abilities of the creature + overall stats and unlock new quests. There's the possibility of good character variety here. I unlocked the horse who can only kick behind him but does good damage and knocks people into walls. I figure the game wants you to switch for different occasions since some will be better aoe vs single target and for example you could switch to the knight if low on health since he does more damage at low %s. I can see it getting repetitive, but I'll definitely go back to it. Good gamepass game anyway.

I just got to the point where builds massively open up as you can mix and match the creatures abilities for interesting synergies, and a few of the quests require exactly that. Like with the horse I've found it's good to give it the rangers poison passive, and just gallop around at the start of the battle poisoning entire groups.

Yeah thats my fear. There are games like Supraland or Toki Tori 2 that take a more physical approach to its exploration and puzzle solving but even those are rare, and I cant think of any other modern games that integrate their fictional history with puzzle design.  Oh well, puzzle games will have another day in the sun eventually

Actually, there is one game I can recommend. It's not an exact fit, but Full Bore is a sokobon puzzle game with an emphasis on open world exploration and digging for secrets that I very much enjoyed. It doesn't have any of the note taking of La Mulana, but the joy of wandering around and finding new things to do is a very close match.

If this puzzle game kick doesnt end after Supraland Ill definitely give it a whirl You might also like Treasure Adventure World which is a pretty heavy on exploration metroidvania that takes a lot of cues from windwaker. Not nearly as difficult but definitely a slower styled search action game with a bigger emphasis on puzzles. There's also Recompile which I don't know as much about but I plan on jumping into after supraland because I hear it is yet another puzzle based metroidvania.

Broken Reality is "less" of a puzzle game as Supraland for the cross-world endgame puzzles but is still full of interesting movement options and puzzles with a neat aesthetic. Plus it's by the Hypnospace Outlaw devs. Paradise Killer is a good exploration game with much easier puzzles and wildly weird story that tie into its core themes, but its ending is a bit meh. Fantastic aesthetic. I might have a bias toward vaporwave aesthetic. I'm much more of an FPS exploration game kind of person so I'm not sure if either of those really hit the LA Mulana threshold, but they're good!
