speaking of conspiracy theories,
I have long known that there are exactly 23 abilities in the new P0.

Today, a week or two after having finished "SERIOUSLY, THIS IS THE LAST TIER OF ENEMIES YOU GUYS",
I counted the number of spawnable enemies.



Guess what?

[Theophilus]

There were 0?

[droqen]

This game is actually entirely enemy-free now. It's all about jumping. (tbh the jumping is...hshtrjs64

HOLY SHIT NEW MODE IDEA

HOLY SHIT NEW MODE IDEA

I demand credit

[mokesmoe]

If you take the word "enemies" and turn the letters into numbers useing a=1 etc. you get 5+14+5+13+9+5+19=70. 7 plus 0 equals 7 and then you split 7 into 5 and 2. 5 minus 2 equals 3. Put the 3 back with the 2 and you get 23, the same the number of abilities.

But wait! Turn abilities into 1+2+9+12+9+20+9+5+19=86. 8 plus 6 equals 14. 86 plus 14 equals 100 which is obviously a perfect square, so we should break it down into 10 and 10. 10 minus 10 is 0, which is the number of enemies in (or at least that inspired) this new game mode.

See! It's all connected!



(Also I messed up my letter to number conversion when I first did this post and had to redo it, which helps prove my previous point.)

[droqen]

I wish I didn't know that some people actually do that ;_;



GENERAL CHANGES:

The player now has red eyes when very near to death.



RUSH MODE is currently:

Reduced health (you can take 2 hits)
The top half of the HUD is gone: rejoice, Ortoslon. The crazy health bar is gone for this mode only.
Bubbles grant:
Healing unless full,
in that case +1 Star unless full.

That's it. I may have bubbles reward you with reliable points.

Oh, and...
NO UPGRADES
2X SCROLL SPEED
NO STARTING BONUS ABILITIES (as opposed to the other no-ability-purchase mode: ortoslonaut!)



I die a lot and really fast. It sure is fun playing on enemy-occupied platforms, though.

I'm considering giving the player a few more aggressive abilities right from the start (as opposed to ORTOSLONAUT! which gives you tons of vertical mobility)... hmmmmmm

this game mode is just ridiculous amounts of "You Are Going to Die"

Coming soon (temp name?): KARMA mode.

I made a beautiful new font for the menu screen.



... okay, well, actually

it's just the same as the other two sizes of font, except made smooth and beautiful :D

and plus a potentially-banished-to-be drop shadow.

[mokesmoe]

I like the shadow.

[baconman]

This is such a beautiful game. I bet it feels considerably more open, not being constrained to six columns, huh?

[droqen]

!!!

???

Sixcolumns? baconman what do you mean o.o

mokesmoe: NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK >:( I wanted to soften the pixel curves. I like it too, even though it doesn't really do the thing that I wanted it to (it does other stuff though)!

[Udderdude]

I feel compelled to post in this thread >_>

Looks like this has gotten a lot more complex since I saw it last .. good luck finishing it (If you can ever put a lid on it for good ..)

[droqen]

THE LID IS DROPPING AS WE SPEAK


---> Also, holy shit! It's you o:

[baconman]

Didn't original P0 only have 6 columns? (Or was it 8, maybe? 6 sounds right, though...)

[droqen]

Nope! Twelve.



Even

which is kinda-sorta like Probability 0 (in the slightest ways possible) has Nine.

The music in that trailer is really annoying.

[JMickle]

wow haha watching that video for p0 just reminded me; I made all the sound effect for that game whilst sitting on the toilet.

[droqen]

XXDDD

(it reminded me of pixeling that fez.)



This will be the first game I ever make that has

<spoilers>CONFIGURABLE KEYS! Just kidding about the 'spoilers' btw
Ha ha. Let's all have a laugh at the people who thought I was serious about spoilers,
and therefore did not select this text.
They will be expecting something amazing, and instead they will get THIS.

Also, if you want to be a jerk, say something like "WHOA JEEZ SPOILERS" and then I will pretend like I edited it, to give this white text even more fake-spoilery goodness.</spoilers>

[mokesmoe]

You should probably spoiler that for people that don't want to ruin the surprise.

[Udderdude]

amidoinitrite?

[Tanner]

I am so excited.

[Franklin's Ghost]

I wish I hadn't read that spoiler and had instead left it a surprise
