Now that I finished the game, I have a few things to say...
1. I did that because it can get annoying if you want to continue trying to get a high score and it boots you out.
2. It was originally made for supporters of my project and to build lore and interactivity around the character. But yeah I get it. Lots of people don't like crypto, which is why I didn't put anything about it in my info, nor is it a huge part about the game.
Thanks for playing the game though! Hope it wasn't too hard lol
I got a pickaxe, but I'm not able to break rocks with it. What am I supposed to do?
I'm asking this because I can't enter the power plant building due to the way the rocks are positioned in front of the entrance. I know that I could push them, but then I'd block the entrance. This made me think that the purpose of the pickaxe is to break those rocks over there.
EDIT: I found the purpose of the pickaxe!
Heh nice!! Good luck in the powerplant😏 One of them you have to go back through the one you exited lol.
Where do I get the CUT ability? I think it's in the caves, but the way the rocks are positioned makes me require said ability.
EDIT: Turns out that I have to get some SCISSORS from my mom. Kinda wish that would be clearer in-game, like the professor telling me to go tell my mom that I'm going on a quest.
Good pooint! Was hoping it would make the gameplay a little bit longer as people try to explore, but I can see how it might be frustrating. I will make sure to make things more clear on the next game.
