Bravo! I had a blast this season. It was way more engaging than previous seasons. Can't wait to see what you come up with for next season!
I clearly still didn't understand how that corruption mechanic worked, but red finally has a win! ๐ฆ They were in third when I logged on about seven hours in, but now look at us.
With a game duration of 60h 42m, we ran for over twice as long as last time (25h 39m). Congrats to @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip for the smooth running and the multiple fixes and new features (and fixes to the new features) that kept it engaging. Cheers to all for fishing and pressing.
It had an hour cooldown, but yes when health hit 0 it fired off, and the town had a choice of fishing to save it, or pushing to speed up its death!
I really liked the balance between the side features and the main game. It was nice being able to go on voyages while there wasn't a lot of stuff happening but it didn't distract from the rest of the game.
I think corruption lost time with button presses and could've been fixed by fishing a lot. When I woke up I saw that two red players were ending the game so I joined them in hopes of getting the last press.
THE PROPHECY HAS COME TRUE!!!
Thanks for everything, I had a great time in council with @m_f@lemmy.world, @W3dd1e@lemmy.zip and @treasure@feddit.org, I had many good voyages and am so impressed by @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip ability to support and code such a game live!
The real game was the friends we made along the way. :)
Finally I can get some proper sleep
Surprise Season 4.2!!!
Jokes, thanks for being so involved!
But seriously, it was all around a fun time!
I'm happy people took so long to finally read the banner text during button corruption. Maybe it should've instead said "240 clicks and the game is over!" :P
It lasted 60h...you are crazy ๐จ good job to everyone ๐๐
Have you seen the stats? You smashed it!! ๐
My fedifriends told me that i'm soooo competitive that i could replace a tokamak and produce plasma energy myself XD
I screenshooted the leaderboard before my departure. That's a good thing that i stopped and let other players have their fun too. ๐
Honnestly i was very bad at the puzzle, without my squid team i wouldn't be able to solve it. I'm bad with cypher game, so thank to my squid fellow. :)
@comradepupivy@lemmy.ml did you get a second run to the council? ๐
what a blast! there were so many hilarious moments!
