Playing the game

[Literally Just a Furry]

So I am not sure on how to beat the original (when you hit play, not the challenges). I can destroy one weed and get out, but not two. Any tips? (Character pathing, ai, etc would be helpful. Also how to deal with all of them/stun them)

after you destroy one weed you need to the side gates on the left and right. If you want more general tips you can join zardy's maze discord they'll help you out, im terrible at giving tips n advices

As someone who started off the same way, the best advice I can give is to test out the waters. Go to Challenge Mode and enable only a single enemy you're having trouble with.


MAIN GAME:

Zardy: Almost always spawns behind you. Keep flashlight on him until he disappears

Pumpkin Jack: Wander around the maze. If you cut a Crawler or Weed, they'll start running directly to where they were cut. If one sees you, go thru the corn and go around them. They can't see past the corn.

Brute: Guard the vines and exit. Best advice I can give is never cut through the corn if one has noticed you because you'll most likely die. He only sees you after chopping a vine once or you get in his line of sight. Use this to plan your exit route.

Cablecrow: Goes from cable to cable. Will kill you if you're within range of him during his grapple attack or go near him on cable.

Pumpkin Crawler: Hides in a "square" of corn, with the crawler in the center and 4 vines going out each side to make a t-shape. Vines can be exposed with flashlight and jumped over. If caught, chopping them will alert all Pumpkin Jacks to your location.

Cornstalker: Just chop him 3 times. Or ignore him. lmao


CHALLENGE MODE:

Drought: Wanders around the maze. Mainly blocks your view, making it easier for other enemies to get you by surprise. Will disappear if you walk into him, but you will be teleported backwards a bit, which isn't much of a problem... until you take into account that Zardy spawns behind you.

Rattler: Stands guard around the edge of the vine, staring down a hallway. Once he notices you, the best course of action is to never stop running. Why? Because he ALWAYS knows where you are and will NEVER stop chasing you. Even if you leave the maze, he'll continue the chase as soon as you step foot inside. Avoid long hallways, since his grapple attack can pull you towards him from a distance.


OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES:

Flashlight: Exposes Crawler Vines, banishes Zardy and stuns every enemy in the game.

The Vines: Even though the maze layout will always be different, the location of the vines themselves will ALWAYS be in the same spot.

i think i learned something that you didn't mention. er... about the cablecrow. while playing i noticed that... he can never backtrack. he has to always go towards a new one to go to one he previously hit. example. if he is on a and cables to b, he has to go to c before going to a, never a to b to a...

cablecrows can backtrack at difficulty 4, the normal game starts at difficulty 1 and when you destroy a weed it gets increased by +1
