The ending is so anticlimatic

I really love the game but the ending is so anticlimactic. You think there will be a big boss fight and then there is just nothing. It's just so.... ugh. Oh well, I loved the rest of the game

I saw a cutscene that was basically saying "wait until 10,000 players have reached this point". But no indication of what that counter was currently at. Which makes it hard to build hype for when that happens.

I think barely 2 or 3 thousand people even reached the end how long would we have to wait lol

You can make a pretty good guess by looking at the leaderboards for the final set of levels.

Also holy crap, just played the last level and it's more anti-climactic than the ending.

[A Cute Kitten]

you'd think it would be a pretty good guess, if it wasn't for the fact that the leaderboards get reset.

[JonathanR]

How often?

[A Cute Kitten]

not sure, one of the recent patches said that it was reset. presumably due to the implementation and subsequent removal of "ground boosting" tainting the scores.

yeah id definitely like to see some kind of measure of how close it is or if it will ever get close enough :(

The DLC just came out and it has your final boss and ending. Honestly even as cheap as the DLC is I'm not sure I'd recommend it. The boss is buggy and not particularly fun and the three new sets of levels are a little lacking too tbh. There's a couple new mechanics (gravity flips being the biggest), but they aren't super well utilized.

Yeah the boss was pretty buggy. However, I liked the new levels and the DLC is pretty cheap so I can recommend it.

[babyboy]

ok great, i purchased the DLC before posting so that's a great surprise to know that the boss is included. definitely a weird decision to block the base game's boss behind DLC, especially if the base game says you need to wait for more players to play.

[JonathanR]

In fairness it wasn't exactly a lie... DLC probably wouldn't have been developed if there wasn't a market for it.

Well, that's underwhelming, unless there is part of this story omitted. Wait until a bunch of people complete the thing to see the real story, oh wait, it's locked behind try-hard DLC. Gross.

My guess as to what happened. They released what they had and had an expectation of approximately how many players would reach the end then set a goal to have "X players reach this point" calculated based off of how many copies they would need to sell...

This way they'd have the development funds needed. Then maybe this didn't actually happen. But they wanted to put a story conclusion in anyway (despite it not really being a story-focused game) so they carried on working on it and released it as paid-dlc instead.

But this is just a guess.

You need to buy the DLC for the ending and its not even that good
You have to find your way round Numero and kill some orbs in him.
Once you do that, you need to struggle for 20 mins, questioning how the ai is made as you can literally get spawn killed, go inside blocks, move at thousands of kph and don't even get me started on the lack of explanation of where to go or what to do; you need to comprehend the chaos yourself.

SPOILERS

And the ending is terrible. You find out that the computer that was helping you this whole time was bored, made others failed players and Numero and then decided to build you and, essentially, watch you suffer.
Everything other than the boss is fun in this game however.
