ITT: dishonest game design

>large glowing objects that stand out from the background
>jumping on them demonstrates that they aren't just background litter
>hitting them with your sword makes you take knockback
>pogo-ing enemies is used in many previous areas

HMMMMMMM.....

are you a game journalist?

Looks like you're thread is doing well. Are you contemplating that you might be an idiot and have been your entire life yet?

>lucky
The shows that background stuff breaks when you hit it. a normal person would eventually hit these things and find that you bounce off them.
common sense is you would use them to elevate yourself.
Fuck. later there is acid water and nothing but these shrooms to move you across the room.

You can by not having a room temperature IQ

I know this is bait but i'm going to reply anyways

you must literally have autism to
A) not connect the dots of "I can use my sword to bounce off of enemies" and "this bouncy thing reacts to my sword"
B) be this obsessed with the idea of honesty and fairness.
you're a blind idiot at the very least.

lmao what a retard

How about this
>so far every single puzzle where text was a part of the solution had "text is float"
>suddenly there's a puzzle that can only be solved by sinking part of the text
Screw you game, I feel like a dumbass now.

>there's no way you can learn how to jump on those 'shrooms by your own. pure dishonest game design

>hitting enemies bounces you upwards
>mushrooms are obviously bouncy
you should be ashamed that you put this much effort into such low-tier bait

retard

The pics represent you i guess, so i will be patient
You are simply a retard who wants attention, this thread is bait or retardation, the "ITT: dishonest game design" is completely fake and you don't want to talk about that

Your wasting you:re time, hk-tumblr cum garglers won't admit game did a poor job explaing this mechanic. yes, you can discover by your own but it's unintuitive at very least

???

>ITT: games that don't hold your hand every 2 seconds
Sorry guys, posted the wrong OP

hes right.

they do an awful job at differentiating what is just flavor art and actual obstacles/hazards. no color, no visuals, it all looks exactly the same

Stop wasting people's time with bait threads you worthless retard

Looks like a casual filter to me.

Incorrect

Watch as he mass replies saying everyone that rightfully called him a retard is a shill or tranny.

I discovered by accident, yeah it's pretty shitty

agreed the only way you realise is by accident and then convincing yourself you are clever for working out the arbitrary as fuck rules

>Giant pink mushrooms
>Emits particles
>Literally bump into them as soon as you first encounter them so you know they are platforms and not background decor

I beat the whole game without knowing that you can pogo on spikes
And you only need it for Path of Pain
guess how many tries I had before looking up a Youtube video

You collide with them multiple times to show you they are bouncy. You already know you have a downslash pogo stick attack at the point you find said mushrooms. They even put some of the shrooms right on the floor to make sure your retarded ass will hit them and see they bounce. It is your own fault for not using the tools you are provided.

The worst part is that there are mushrooms earlier on that just break when you hit them and nothing else interesting happens so you learn to just ignore these shrooms instead of experimenting.

pogo?

user please understand, the type of person you're trying to talk to has this level of intelligence.

the breakable mushrooms look nothing like the bouncy ones.

he actually has a point, some of them (the smallest one) are actually breakable

The game teaches you immediately that you can hit downward while in the air, then it crafts situations where you will need to hit an enemy below you which teaches you that pogoing is a thing. Then as you are descending the fungal wastes, they introduce bounce shrroms on the way in places you will naturally end up landing on them and find that they are bouncy. Any idiot with a brain knows that something bouncy in a video game can be used to gain height so it is at that point where you put 2 and 2 together and learn that you can do that by pogoing off of them. You lack critical thinking skills if you honestly believe this is dishonest or unintuitive design.

>convincing yourself you are clever for working out the arbitrary as fuck rules
I don't think anyone on this board thinks they are clever for figuring that out because it was a fairly obvious solution.

OP's either a troll or completely retarded. Either way he should get the fuck off this board.

The game doesn't tell you to use WASD either

>buy a map
>enter the room (or areal, if you prefer that term)
>room immediately changes the color on the map, meaning, it is now marked as visited, even though I might come back later because I need to use an ability or key to access the area
I mean, I would prefer if we could mark the map manually with some symbols. Would prefer that over taking screenshots.
>inb4 zoom zoom

*I mean area, not areal
wtf

Yeah,but these are purple, they have special particles and they are located in concrete points, they are no mere decoration
