It was fun, farming and fishing in rugged areas that were hard to walk around!
Fished about 200, probably caught an unknown fish once, but it was too fast to catch...
I didn't see any penguins, meow~!
Great game, but a few questions and a bug
Question 1: What does swap do? Whenever I try to use it, the bag is held up and plays the [You Don't Have This] noise, and I can't figure out where, with or what I am missing
Question 2: How do I get to the penguin? I have tried multiple times but get stuck on the wall. I assume he is who you give the fish to but I can't figure out how to get to him
Bug 1: When you hold up and press the jump button instead of the use button, the player jumps a little higher then usual. I assume this is a bug but I might be wrong.
Q1: Yes, you are missing an item to do that. Look around the map! As a hint, it's not hidden in the map expansion - you can get it right from the start of the game.
Q2: You need to fish up a something special to reach him. Don't worry, you'll know it when you get it.
B1: Not a bug! Try doing down+jump too :3
With your answer, I have some new questions:
Q1: I get the swap after getting the double jump, that location is not in the map expansion but can I get to that location with a normal jump at the beginning of the game? Compared to the original Celestial, this game seems to lack dash.
Q2: Since I'm just getting normal fish over and over again in Fishing, and lacking a clear target, I checked the code (sorry). According to the calculations, if I need to get the double jump with a 50% probability, I need 266 successful fishing trips. Seems overly harsh on the success rate. (BTW, it actually took me an hour to get the double jump after fishing 136 fishes, so I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky.)
Q1: Yes, you can get it right away. No items are required for that, just smart usage of Madeline's abilities. There's no reason to rush it though - the second seedbag isn't useful until you get some seeds for it :3
Q2: The chance is low for sure, but that's intentional. This game is more of an idle game than an active one, and it's best enjoyed while chilling out and listening to some music or watching something. If you just want to go for a high score, you don't need to fish for the super-rare catches - farming radishes will give you more than enough income to eventually max out the money counter.
what does the fish do?
The non-unique fish can be sold for a higher score if you wish - you'll just need to find someone willing to take them off your hands!
Really fun game to grind for an hour or two
Nice job!
