Yeah Animal Well kicks rear end and the lone dev deserves all the praise for making such a solid game. And somehow he fit it into 30mb, absolutely nuts.

Yeah, I'm not surprised in the slightest but it is a shame. Guy's been working on the game for like six or seven years.

This seems like a pretty good strategy to dealing with people asking for a release date, actually. Put out a silly, obviously fake release date far in the future, and fans can joke about it while waiting patiently for everything to be finished up. You can even come up with a funny little catchphrase for it. Something like, I don’t know, “The promise has been made”. Just a random example I thought up.

To be fair more of Barkley 2 came out than Silksong so far.

We are well past the point when games inspired by Hollow Knight have already had their sequels released. so, expect silksong to be around when that Prince of Persia game sees a sequel

The whole game is made out of tiles. When I first saw the trailer I immediately throught of micro mages for the NES. Metroid fits in 128kb

Precept Twenty-One: 'Be Aware of Your Surroundings'. Don't just walk along staring at the ground! You need to look up every so often, to make sure nothing takes you by surprise.

Precept Twenty-Nine: 'Develop Your Sense of Direction'. It's easy to get lost when travelling through winding, twisting caverns. Having a good sense of direction is like having a magical map inside of your head. Very useful.

Precept Thirty-Five: 'Up is Up, Down is Down'. If you fall over in the darkness, it can be easy to lose your bearing and forget which way is up. Keep this Precept in mind!

Precept Fifty: 'Don't Linger on Mysteries'. Some things in this world appear to us as puzzles. Or enigmas. If the meaning behind something is not immediately evident though, don't waste any time thinking about it. Just move on.

Some of the puzzles really are crazy ARG bullshit. But not the ones you need to beat the game, or even get the "secret ending" for the game.

Yeah it's been a couple of days so I reckon I'll boot it up and explore everything again from the beginning and the solution will come reasonably quickly. That's usually how this stuff goes.

I'm up to the cat. I can't take the disc because I have nothing that kills it and it follows me from room to room. I've tried kiting it around different rooms to see if a solution presents itself, nothing so far. I reckon I'm just missing a route somewhere to an item I need.

Lol. Straight up answer to that puzzle right here: You don't NEED to take the disc

Otherwise the game is pretty non-linear where you are and there's guaranteed another direction you could head.

Yeah you should soon find the solution for the disc situation. I believe it is in a treasure chest.

One tip i have for animal well players is that you can press jump and bubble wand button almost simultaneously to hop to a second bubble before the first one pops, something i didnt figure out for wayyy too long. Most jumps only require a single bubble but it is handy for a lot of rooms

Yeah. But it has serious Fez syndrome where the dev got too far up his own butt. At least most of the latter stuff is totally ancillary.
