Made it to Dark Star Completion

[Meep]

I have now completed Dark Star. After basically working on it from the time I saw the post until now, with pauses in-between for you know, living. But other than that it took me literal day, despite the fact I can unpack these rooms properly in my sleep!

I did learn some fascinating places you can stick things that are gold-star-correct that I never would have thought of before.

The hardest part is the highlighting dissonance. Right and wrong are switched, but the highlighting is not. So you spend the correction phase trying to find the one or more thing not glowing in a house that is constantly flashing at you ceaselessly until you find them.

Something Cool: if your playing music when you finally reach dark star completion on a level, it warps the music in a weird way.

Helpful hint: if the lamp can turn on its not in its dark-star-correct place (I miss the lava lamp too)

Congrats ! I recently finished the Dark Star gameplay (and now I crave more content from them...) and I cannot say how much time I spent looking over and over again the very same rooms in order to find that non shining item that DARES to be properly places ! Aarh !

I so wish I had seen your post to see your hint ! I missed the lava lamp too !

Well, actually I was saying its cool and I miss seeing it. (I should really get one of my own) But I can understand how that would be a tough one, its already shiny and colorful! And god forbid you changed your highlight color to pink

OML I FOUND IT
It was a stupid tampon box of all things that apparently is fine to just chill anywhere on the ground near the toilet

Yeah, honestly I found it safest to put things in different rooms than the box they came out of.

Depending on the layout the kitchen good tended to end up in the living room, and the underwear went pretty consistently in the kitchen drawers & a lot of kitchen appliances ended up on the boyfriends fancy shelves. Stuffed animals at the kitchen table, plants in the tub, stuff like that.

Dark star reminds me of my unpacking style. I stage most things on the floor first before deciding where it would go.

omg thank you, Featherclaw! I was looking for this for so long. It's nearly impossible to find anything not highlighted among ton of glowing objects.

Update xD
I played through Dark Star again and got stuck at the last house AGAIN and this time it was one of the toys from the nursery. They are fine anywhere on the ground in that room as long as they're not blocking the door, and I couldn't see it because of too many larger items in front of it. It really is the smartest move to just take every item to a completely different room xD

Just chiming in here that I too have had to start the final house over again in Dark Star, it's so much tougher than it looks!
