Universal Space Grunts (by Pascal Bestebroer)

Thanks! Bought!

 

Is Pascal French or German ? Nooo he's Dutch !

 

Ahhhhh... Ok, my mistake!

 

Dutch like Vlambeer. Great pixels in The Netherlands!

 

haha yeah French first name, but fully Dutch

 

Cocorico ! I'm your French guy customer+fan number one then

 

I bought it too due to the recommendations of many trusted TA members here.

 

I have every Orange Pixel game and this is definitely up there with the best. I still just need to learn all the ins and outs of the gameplay. I love that it's not endless so there is a final level to reach for.

Question: I read that there are secrets rooms but with all my play-throughs, I don't think I've found any yet. Are there visual clues I should look for at walls. Do I need to shoot the walls? I found a device that told me one was near but never found out where it was or how to enter it.

 

Blow up big purple crystals, usually turns into a cave

 

Also found if you look in map you will see a different colored wall in a room and that's where you shoot it to open it

 

This game is hidden with a pack of secrets and menaces !

I started a Zombie Plague but what can I do to stop it definitively ?

 

Cool game so far. Seems like there's a lot of depth to it.

Is there any sort of "skip-turn" button like most roguelikes have? It seems like I just have to pace back and forth, which isn't always practical, or even safe.

 

no skip button, design decision. Things like the fire-pits (later levels) actually play on this.
you can of course "cheat" it with pacing or shooting, but that's then a tactical decision to make.

as for secrets, wall secrets are the "Easy" ones to find
there are also secret alternate-routes, and some of those contain secret rare items (anybody found Gaia yet?!)
so yeah.. there's more to the game then you'll find in your first 10 or 20 hours of play

 

Sweet as! Sale has been extended, and here comes my Money! Take it please!! Bought!!! #

 

The same purple crystals that either give out radiation or healing spores? I've only found those two coming from them.

 

Pascal please tell me how can I kill all those zombies !!!!

 

Throwing my hat in for the 'perma-crowbar' also. Would be sweet, but it's not like I don't ever have a shortage of shells.

 

They look like those but are like 3x the size

 

you can't! and shooting them only makes them stronger!

only solution that works is run for the exit once a Zombie is "born"

 

uhm about the secret stuff .. spoilers for those want it :

Spoiler

those big purple things are not the "Secret area's" tho,
that's one of the alternate routes you can find/take in the early levels

and it's always placed in a secret area
so you need to actually find a "secret wall" before you even run into that one

someone else mentioned it already, most of the secret walls can be spotted as really different, and the map screen also has slightly different color for those walls.. hard to see, but that's why they are secret
