So, I discovered a bug. I ate some coins and they didn’t appear on the stats page, so I tried eating five hundred coins and that didn’t work, so I suspect that the monching of coins might be borked.

Gonna be honest, that’s probably because I did the metaphorical equivalent of putting a TV next to a desktop, haphazardly plugging random wires in, and expecting it to be a functioning monitor when I slapped the Statistics page in.

Aww scoots, I was gonna try to eat a record breaking amount of coins…

So I figured out the (metaphorical) reason why the Coins Eaten thing wasn’t working.

I had the TV plugged into itself.

And by that, I mean that the Coins Eaten value would reset on a Game Over.

Here’s a patch.

Thank you so much for this gift this day. My time has now come to do the unprecedented. . . I’m gonna eat over nine thousand coins.
I just noticed something and I don’t know how long it’s been there for and now I’m worried.

Has the hidden coins in the dev button ending always been there and is there perhaps more down that path that I should try to do??

You do it like so:

Thank you sensei, with your guidance, I was able to not spoil stuff

I was wondering when someone would discover that path.

That is all I will say about that.

You made it be persistent through runs?! And here I was, thinking I was genius and gonna get a free fitty coins at the beginning of each run. If I knew that was the case, I might’ve not just ate the coins. . .

it would seem energy potions do the exact opposite of what they’re meant to do. by which i mean, my adventurer isn’t tired at all, then she drinks an energy potion and is too tired to do anything

You know, that’s a funny story. When I read your post, I immediately remembered that I accidentally set the Energy Potions to max out the number of actions you’ve performed instead of resetting them.

Whoops.

Has anyone found any of the three new endings yet?? I’ve only seen the new grindstone and I can’t figure out what we’re supposed to do to search for the hidden boss.

Like, I was thinking that maybe it had to do something with the shop keep, since there’s so much flavor text, but after spamming buy buttons for several minutes, I gave up that fight.

I will give you two hints:

Hint 1: It is highly influenced by RNG

Hint 2: The store’s flavor text is there for a reason

Oh no, you’re cryptic like my friend. . . You see, I’m worried that I need to be in a very specific weight range for those after all I’ve tried. I can’t figure out how to flavor text may tie together to show me the way and rng hates me sometimes and the only new jazz I’ve seen in the ruins is the new grindstone, the new statue, and how you changed the slab. I figured if these new endings were tied to a weight class that it would be a higher one, so I’m currently at 749 lbs. I’m sorry, I’ve begun to ramble. I’m just having trouble figuring this out…

The second after I post this is the second that I think I’m onto something, gotta love it

There is no specific weight range required to unlock the hidden endings, aside from being heavy enough to trigger the bumping event in the Shop a few times. Once you do, your weight is no longer relevant to unlocking the event chain. It should also be noted that these 3 endings are collectively the second hardest to acquire, as there is also only a ~10% chance of the event chain being triggered (once you meet the conditions previously stated) every time you enter the Shop (Until the event is triggered, of course). That may get bumped up to a 20% chance in future updates, if it proves too difficult to acquire.

…Aaaand there I go giving more hints lmao

So… what your telling me is that this is pure rng and is all about leaving and entering the shop, so the 1100 coins I just grinded for are useless??

1 Like

Well, coins are not necessarily useless. You could buy a ton of apples. Additionally, purchasing things when you are above a certain weight (450?) should help speed it along. But yes, it is mostly RNG.
