FAQ:

The game starts lagging after a long play session!

We’re aware of and investigating a memory leak at the moment, but it’s very hard to diagnose as it seems to be outside of Godot’s heap which makes it very difficult to diagnose as its not picked up by the engine’s profiler tools. If this has happened to you, please enable crash reporting and contact us with some info:

How long were you playing for before it started lagging?
Have you been using an autoclicker? If so, what time interval / frequency have you set for clicks?
Were you playing on normal or compatibility mode?
What specs are you running? OS, Graphics Card, Are drivers up to date, etc?
Describe your play session quickly.
If possible, please supply us a copy of your savefile, and logs, see the video below for instructions!

My controller keeps control of the game even though i’m tabbed out.

I would like to fix this but as it stands - I cannot do this in the current version of Godot, apologies for the annoyance! It is an engine feature that is being worked on, however, so hopefully it gets intergrated into the engine soon so I can fix this for y’all!

My resolution is greyed out!

The game’s resolution picker takes into account the task bar and the bar on top of the window of the game. If it cannot fit the game’s window inside the height of what’s left of your monitor, it won’t let you go higher, as it would hide the game’s window behind the task bar, and you’d lose the game’s top bar.

Also - as it stands the game is always rendered at 1920x1080 so changing the resolution while in full screen doesn’t do anything, we’ve thus decided to disable the resolution picker if you’re in full screen to prevent confusion.

I don’t know how to solve X puzzle!

The main big puzzles in the game are a little bit different than most games, they require you to think outside of the box, and use all the tools available to you as a player to solve them. If you’re ever in a bind, visit the guy in the crack in the cave, he’ll give you hints on your journey if you’re not sure what to do next. Some puzzles require you to delve deeper to find items, some puzzles you just need to think a little.

My helmet is suddenly slow!

You might have clicked quickly and missed it: once the helmet reaches cap, it resets its own speed but gives you x10 damage as a bonus (this is changed slightly in today’s update).
