moveset

arrowkeys - move

z - shoot pearl

x - gain orbs which change pearls y velocity.

c - jump

tab - open menu


default yVel is 0

orb modifiers are constantly recalculated while a pearl moves.


while holding x

^ - yVel -= 1

< - yVel *= -1.5

v - yVel += time

> - yVel = sin(yVel)

This is mildly interesting, but too cryptic. I'm never sure to understand which colour does what in what order and weirdly enough that quirk is never mentioned in the tutorial, gave up on level 8.

3: green
4: red blue green green (or green x5)
5: red
6: red
7: red blue
8: green green green red
9: green green green red blue
10: red red blue
11: red yellow green red yellow
12: red blue red
13: red yellow
14: red yellow blue blue blue
15: red red yellow blue blue
16: red blue blue yellow green
17: green blue blue blue yellow

i actually prefer this one over the previous iterations because you don't need to time and chain different weird movement options.
unfortunately the descriptions for the modifiers are as cryptic as usual, so it's still mostly trial and error.

also level 16 was absolute pain. couldn't figure it out at all so i spent like 3 hours going through every possible combination to solve it

EDIT: accidentally discovered the "secret orb game" by mashing left and down while holding X (blue and red orb). it's identical to "guilty gear strive" by the same author, and you get a medal for clearing it, so though luck with that

is hard

I love hard puzzle games! This kind of reminds of the year game, where you try and make the integers <100 with the digits of the current year. It requires the same type of thinking.
The secret game is a pretty cool bonus!

Could use some hints, this game is zero intuition
