Well...I remember this game being talked about sometime last year, and I have to say...I'm very happy to have 100%'d this game. Even if it didn't take too long, like...even just as an art project, wow. The character designs are cute, the dialogue is honestly pretty fun and memorable (Also it really makes me think about you kinda have this "wooOOOWww big energy writing!!" with a lot of ! marks and deliberate grammatical errors you do in your art - something I'd like to do more often when I write, it really shows charm here)...and the game itself is honestly a pretty good short metroidvania. I don't have any real big complaints about the game.
The only thing I couldn't figure out is what the "misfortune" around the top left of the Tear River was. But still, good game, and again I just LOVE a few of the character designs for sure, the veggiefolk as a whole are pretty cool.
Also props for drawing almost everything, including some of the text, adds to the sketchy-looking charm of the artstyle too. I love the feel it gives the Picturebook and the J key Journal especially.
%'3 Omg thank you!!!! That misfortune was to indicate the Pumi-Pumi incident to you, and since you 100%ed it, you got it! Thanks a lot, wohoo!! I did finish it, didn't I!! I did!!
Just check your Journal, pal! Also, it's crazy that you got it right right away...
EDIT: I just tried to get it wrong many times, thinking that maybe you've experienced a bug - nope, you just literally got it right by accident! That's crazy!!
Done and unlocked the full gallery. Excellent art, worldbuilding, writing, humor, porn, and game overall! I was fully invested throughout. The two big complaints I have are the lack of resolution options (I wanna see the art better!) and that there's no options to change the text speed to instant. I read fast, and so I found myself often pressing E to see an entire textbox, only for it to end just before I press E and cause me to either skip dialogue before I've read it or select a dialogue choice prematurely, both of which suck balls as the dialogue in this game is excellent. My other issues are minor: - As mentioned already in the comments, a bug in the endings which causes the music to continue playing and overlap with the game - Lack of volume settings - An issue with Pumi-Pumi in Spring Sprout where if you tell her to look for Agressa alone before you've gotten a seed from her she can disappear without giving you the seed, this can be remedied seemingly at random by closing and reopening the game - Enemies can sometimes be knocked backwards into you when attacking them, causing unavoidable damage (not super important due to the game's leniency but still annoying) - The game times some time to start up - No scene where the Lord of Misfortune shoves someone's face into his fat nuts I'm not familiar with GameMaker so I have no idea how many of these are feasible to fix. Regardless, this game is excellent, and I immediately want more like it. Very cash money, good shit indeed!
Tried to remedy the Pumi-Pumi thing, I think it happens when you don't pick up the seed she gives you! She should always give you the seed in any dialogue she can have now as long as you didn't get it yet and it's not spawned
Also, tried to fix the overlapping music (I can't replicate it, so it's the kind of fix that MIGHT work, or it might also do nothing!)
I can't do the Volume settings unfortunately, because then I'd need to re-do the whole sound system to level every song to each other without using Gamemaker's built-in systems... Which would be pretty crazy, so, apologies about that!
The enemy backwards thing happens when you attack them riiight as they're turning around on the edge of a platform... I've no idea how to fix it, but thank you for reporting it!
First off amazing game, second off I made it all the way to end of the game without realizing I can attack by clicking or with the R button. Is that said anywhere in the game or am I just blind?
hello the tomato fan is in the corner of the first world, to get there: you have to wet a branch, in that mission you get the bad ending 2 doing it correctly, the crystal is obtained in the house you got the first artifact (the shell)
pd:I’m just a player with 100%. the max blue cucumber is 35
Probably not honestly! Oh well, I understand it's a tough task anyways... You keep doing you though, your art is great! Remind me to support you when I actually have money to spare
If you get the new version, the Alchemist now tells you where to find it with more clarity, and also, when you get there, it's much easier to spot the secret!
I got it! But now I'm in the blue cucumber room, before the 30 blues door-and when I use the shell on the shell in the background here, there's a sound effect that plays over and over very quickly without anything else happening. (If that's supposed to get you a blue cucumber, I'm at 29/30.)
e: found 30th one, I missed the one in the PC house!
If you're playing the new version, check your gallery, "The Mysterious Shell"! It gives you guidance to the things you maybe missed, and Bad Ending 2 is directly related to one of them!
The current (X) version doeesn't work properly with the previous savefiles when it comes to seeds... If you've just been playing on 1 version though, and it's not a recent one, then try using the Shell on the Tavern Vending machine! I'm only saying it outright because in the new version, I rearranged the seeds so you get a way less important one from there
Got it working on my Steam Deck! Only played for a few minutes to edit the buttons and test everything, but so far so good. Liking it so far.
I did encounter a "bug", I guess? Upon entering the game for the first time, the game will freeze for a few seconds before showing the first text box. After that it runs perfectly.
Amazing game, very well done! Got about everything except for the 5th bad ending. Not sure I'm just overlooking it, if something could give me a hint on how to find it my collection would be complete.
Mm, I don't think so... I think the issue might be that there are too many sprites in the game, and I didn't optimize the spritesheets in the same way that, for example, Spelunky 2 optimises them (they're all on the same page tightly)... I really apologize for this! I'm just one fella who is really bad at this!..
I sincerely apologize for your experience, it pains me too to know that there are people out there who can't play it properly because I am sucky at making games - this is only my second game, and my first game was way less involved, so, while I did try to make this one not lag, I am still a noobie... I don't think I can do anything! I am really sorry...
How do I get the cucumber for the wizard guy with the pot in the first area? I got the other two things but don't understand the third one. I helped the guys in the oasis heaven with the riddle to turn their portal on.
The newest versions have the Alchemist tell you in more detail where to get it, and also, it's easier and more fun to spot the secret you need to find! Don't worry, the savefiles carry over from version to version!
I think I must be some kinda dumb, I'm stuck in the river area and can't find the shaman(?) to increase my jump(???), I think I missunderstood what the shiny guy just above the fruit bush was telling me LMFAO, can anyone help?
It'd be nice if the game defaulted to Continue instead of New Game; accidentally hitting New Game can cause you to reset, since it seems to overwrite the save immediately!
Additional save slots would also be nice, but that's probably a lot harder.
Having a lot of fun. I kind of wish some of the NPCs would make good on their threats, but that's just me, heheh. Also running into the issue being unable to find Agressa despite falling into the pit with the musical notes coming out.
I've been through all the locations and still don't understand how and where to look for seeds. I haven't found one yet. I'm stuck in Spring Sproud. What should I do?
Have anyone got into any performance issues? I don't know why it using 5GB of my RAM and runs very poorly/easy to crash. I tried on both of my laptop and they gave me the same results (both have 8GB of RAM in total, one have better CPU and GPU).
Despite the performance issue, in that little playtime where i trying to squeeze those little frames out. This game have a really adorable characters and amazing map. I love it!
Ooh, I actually don't know what the issue is... I am a noobie game developer, I tried to optimize it as much as I could but perhaps the game is too big for me to handle!.. Sorry!..
im not sure what i did wrong, but i can't find the sister, the suspicious guy is gone, but i can still tell pumi ill find her sis, i see the music but when i try to walk over there i fall and get damaged
seems like the platform that was there in previous versions has been removed. had to launch a previous version to do that and then save and quit and go back to the current version.
Loving the game so far! Managed to get most of the scenes on my first playthrough, but I'm struggling to fine Agressa. Not sure if she's just really well hidden or if they're bugged like someone else mentioned below.
Oh, and I know it's probably unlikely but if we could get a follow-up option to the big blue guy to actually say what we say to him without being affected by him 👀👀👀
Hoooly moly, I fixed stuff like that in the release version, but missed this interaction!!!! I am sorry you had to go through this horrifying experience of being stuck in a wall, I will fix it right away so you can continue where you left off (you will fall out of the wall)!

How do I get this one?
As you can hear from Infi, this one requires some setup... There is only one veggieperson who consistently advances between levels, as a hint to you!
the download doesnt work from the itch launcher but the game is awesomesauce
Thank you!! I don't know what Itchlauncher is...

anyone know how to get bad ending 5?
ffs i guessed the incantation hoping to get it wrong and maybe get the misfortune but instead i got it right first try. wtf are the chances???
can someone tell me the wrong incatation thing. do i just get it wrong multiple times or???
Just check your Journal, pal! Also, it's crazy that you got it right right away...
EDIT: I just tried to get it wrong many times, thinking that maybe you've experienced a bug - nope, you just literally got it right by accident! That's crazy!!
Where do I even find it-
Anyone know where the red seed is?
Did you take the quest to find a weird veggieperson?
Oh my Christ this helps me immensely
Done and unlocked the full gallery. Excellent art, worldbuilding, writing, humor, porn, and game overall! I was fully invested throughout.

well I found the one that says you can click to attack, I'm just blind not sure if it said the "R" button though
It doesn't, because it's a new feature! You can press ESC to go to Menu and check controls, but I will also add it as a tooltip for Infi to say!
Did I mess up on Bad Ending 5? It says it's in heaven oasis and it's "wrong incantation" and i already connected the portal to the alchemist.
Yes. You'll have to start a new game in order to get Bad Ending 5 now.
I am at my wit's end trying to find these last few things and I can't do it. Any help would be appreciated. Currently I am missing:
Quests: Help out The Tomato Fanclub. Told me to find the Shaman but I don't know where he is. The final part of finding Agresa.
Art: Missing Bad Ending 2.
And I am missing 2 blue cucumbers, which I think involves finishing the last 2 quests.
Again, any help is appreciated.
After playing a bit more I managed to get everything except for Bad Ending 2.
hello the tomato fan is in the corner of the first world, to get there: you have to wet a branch, in that mission you get the bad ending 2 doing it correctly, the crystal is obtained in the house you got the first artifact (the shell)
pd:I’m just a player with 100%. the max blue cucumber is 35
I just completed it, thank you so much!
when i try to get blue cucumber from biteybite in oasis after u beat the dream world the game crashes with this error.

actually it happened with the explorer in the same area when he tried to give me a blue cucumber too
Thank you very much for your bug report! I will attempt to fix it!
No idea what causes it directly, to be honest... But I did attempt to remedy it!
problem seems to be fixed!
Completly amazing game, I just played the entirety of it and now i only have 2 pictures left. Amazing Job!!!!
so far so good ive been playing since yesterday and there's already a new version
I know stuff like this is hard to do, but a mobile version would be cool because my PC decided to just not work :(
Yaa, it's pretty insane to do... I don't even know if you can do that in Gamemaker...
Probably not honestly! Oh well, I understand it's a tough task anyways... You keep doing you though, your art is great! Remind me to support you when I actually have money to spare
For some reason I absolutely cannot find the 3rd alchemist potion ingredient...
If you get the new version, the Alchemist now tells you where to find it with more clarity, and also, when you get there, it's much easier to spot the secret!
I got it! But now I'm in the blue cucumber room, before the 30 blues door-and when I use the shell on the shell in the background here, there's a sound effect that plays over and over very quickly without anything else happening. (If that's supposed to get you a blue cucumber, I'm at 29/30.)
e: found 30th one, I missed the one in the PC house!
Whoops! Let me fix that for you... The new version will be called "U", I'll upload it shortly!
Oh, wonderful! The game actually has more than 30, you don't have to get them all :B
WHERE IS THE BAD ENDING 2?
If you're playing the new version, check your gallery, "The Mysterious Shell"! It gives you guidance to the things you maybe missed, and Bad Ending 2 is directly related to one of them!
The ending is related to the tomato fans?
Yeah!
I can't progress because I don't know how to get the seeds. What am I missing?
The current (X) version doeesn't work properly with the previous savefiles when it comes to seeds... If you've just been playing on 1 version though, and it's not a recent one, then try using the Shell on the Tavern Vending machine! I'm only saying it outright because in the new version, I rearranged the seeds so you get a way less important one from there
I've read the patch notes and downloaded the new version! Much better experience! Now I only need the 5th bad ending

I did encounter a "bug", I guess? Upon entering the game for the first time, the game will freeze for a few seconds before showing the first text box. After that it runs perfectly.
%'3 Omg that's so cool!! Congratz, that's very impressive!
I'm very happy to hear that!! Only a couple people have complained about perfomance issues, which is pretty good!!
Amazing game, very well done! Got about everything except for the 5th bad ending. Not sure I'm just overlooking it, if something could give me a hint on how to find it my collection would be complete.
Oh, you do have a hint actually - J for Journal, and at some point, you get a pretty trolly incantation added to it!
please for the love of god optimise this game. it is using 2GB of my memory wtf
it seems whenever i jump or enemies are onscreen the game lags most. maybe there is something relating to those that is lagging the game?
Mm, I don't think so... I think the issue might be that there are too many sprites in the game, and I didn't optimize the spritesheets in the same way that, for example, Spelunky 2 optimises them (they're all on the same page tightly)... I really apologize for this! I'm just one fella who is really bad at this!..

I don't think I can do anything! I am really sorry...
Is the Brown guy Really not the one Whom Explorer is looking for?
Well, there is a certain yellow guy, too...
How do I get the cucumber for the wizard guy with the pot in the first area? I got the other two things but don't understand the third one. I helped the guys in the oasis heaven with the riddle to turn their portal on.

I fixed that issue!! Very sorry about that!
Yaa, that's fair, but I at least put in a warning as to not make you reset just immediately!
Thank you for the response, I hope you're not getting burnt out on all these responses! It's *really* hard to collate and prioritize feedback.
Thank you again for making this fun game!
I've been through all the locations and still don't understand how and where to look for seeds. I haven't found one yet. I'm stuck in Spring Sproud. What should I do?
The same here. I've done the Defender 2's quest and it won't give me more dialogue either
Which ones are you missing? If you have the older version, the newer one gives you enough hints to get them
Have anyone got into any performance issues? I don't know why it using 5GB of my RAM and runs very poorly/easy to crash. I tried on both of my laptop and they gave me the same results (both have 8GB of RAM in total, one have better CPU and GPU).

Ooh, I actually don't know what the issue is... I am a noobie game developer, I tried to optimize it as much as I could but perhaps the game is too big for me to handle!.. Sorry!..
why this game is so good and why I CANT FIND GREEN SEED AND I DONT KNOW WHAT THIS TOMATO WANTS FROM ME!
The green seed is the easiest to get! Are you experiencing a bug?.. Could you press J and tell me if you see any seeds there?
im not sure what i did wrong, but i can't find the sister, the suspicious guy is gone, but i can still tell pumi ill find her sis, i see the music but when i try to walk over there i fall and get damaged
seems like the platform that was there in previous versions has been removed. had to launch a previous version to do that and then save and quit and go back to the current version.
That's because I am dumb!!!! I fixed the issue with clipping in a very rare spot but accidentally broke Agressa!!
Ooh, I actually adjusted it, you can now attack with R!
Loving the game so far! Managed to get most of the scenes on my first playthrough, but I'm struggling to fine Agressa. Not sure if she's just really well hidden or if they're bugged like someone else mentioned below.
Oh, and I know it's probably unlikely but if we could get a follow-up option to the big blue guy to actually say what we say to him without being affected by him 👀👀👀
Silly! %'3
Yaa totally bugged!! You can download the new version where I fix it, it saves your savefiles!
Can there be any npc sex scenes, and maybe anything involving futa??
im having troubles with the agressa quest. i cant find the npc i need to talk to but i know where she i
That's because I broke her quest accidentally in the last patch!! I am sorry, get the new version with a fix!!
A weird technical issue. Whenever you get an ending, the music doubles up on itself
Could you elaborate? I would gladly fix it, but it seems to be working okay for me!
is St.Chief voice a gnome
Mmmm...
i think maaybe the patch that fixed getting trapped under the river might have made it impossible to talk to the guitar girl for the first time?
p.s. i like the game a lot :> i 100%ed it
You're very right, I was sleeping and didn't know!!
I had fun :3
Got to go back and get the last things when I have more time
love the game so far! unfortunately i got softlocked when i jumped while watering a plant and it got me stuck in the platform that it created.
Hoooly moly, I fixed stuff like that in the release version, but missed this interaction!!!! I am sorry you had to go through this horrifying experience of being stuck in a wall, I will fix it right away so you can continue where you left off (you will fall out of the wall)!
tysm!!
really good game! i already get all the endings and unlockable, i really like it.
