What is homing?

[o4zloiroman]

And how to get it?

[the guy that disappears a lot]

If you get 70 gems, you unlock homing daggers, which use gems as ammo.

Earliest I've seen that happen is around 140 seconds, after the centipede

If you don't know what Homing means itself (since you worded your OP that way), here's the definition.

"(of a weapon or piece of equipment) fitted with an electronic device that enables it to find and hit a target."

How many gems earns one homing dagger shot?

[Hänk]

I don't anyone has tested it yet, but it's speculated to be 1 gem = 1 homing dagger. There are so many centipedes and gigapedes after that point so it shouldn't be hard to get the gems.

EDIT: Well okay, it's hard, the game is hard, but the gems should be plenty!

This game doesn't really allow to just test something out :P

I think when you click Mouse2 it uses all excess gems to shoot an equal number of homing daggers (all at once). So, you'd want to save them for when things start get rough. Kind of like bombs, although it takes some time for them to find a target.

EDIT: Nope, you hold the button to shoot just like regular. Maybe a single click works the same too?

Do I have to get 70 gems total across all my plays, or 70 in one run before it's unlocked?

You reach 70 gems in a run, you get level 3. When you die it resets, there's no "unlocking" it.

Boy, I'm awful at this game then. lol

Oh, you'll get there, dying is how this game makes you learn. For a while I couldn't get past the squids that come after the first centipede, now I'm getting level 3 very consistently, sometimes killing the centipede the first time it comes out of the ground. Allabout practice.

[The Good Dave]

I'll let you know when I break 75 seconds. lol

Basically daggers that are guided, They fly towards a target

For a while a guy on the top of the scoreboard could use homing daggers straight away. It really confused me and I have to keep reminding myself that the reason he's not there anymore is probably because it was a developer account with all unlocks.

Its called hacks, Its pretty easy to cheat yourself around the game's restrictions, Tried it myself. Pretty funny but the anticheat is a bummer
