On Galaxy 4, been taking my time, just enjoying all the new gameplay elements introduced each level and sometimes just enjoying the bots by the crash site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda at a part where I'm having a more difficult time finding the bots. By no means am I saying it's difficult but it did get a bit more challenging. But that's what makes it so fun.

Bacon Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 So, something that's funny. There is another place I post sometimes. That place posts a lot of webms. No one was making webms for Astro Bot so I started making them and now my webms are pretty much the only game footage that gets posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're feeling stuck, on return to a world, you can spend 200 coins in the beginning to get a bird that follows you around and will indicate the direction of something you missed when you get near. I avoided that feature, but it's there if you're feeling lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I agree with @Bacon that finding a portal mid level sort of sucks because you get immediately ejected from the world you are in. I would rather it unlock the level and let me visit that galaxy later. Im rocking the skeleton skin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 @legend The bird definitely helped just now. I found 15 more bots in a short amount of time. I don't mind the assist but I understand you want the full challenge. The game is easy enough for your skill level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I used the bird a few times. Every time but once I didn't actually need it, but there was one puzzle piece in one of the later levels that you had to pull out of the ground and I'm not sure I ever would have found it on my own. It's not that hidden, but the way I play the game, I just wouldn't have noticed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it on the first world because I didn't know what it was, and I used it one or two other times on worlds where there was a point of no backtracking and I didn't want to advance only to miss it because I was pretty sure that's how I missed it on my first run.

Bacon Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Yeah, every time I missed something on my first go it was because I couldn't backtrack to it. The ones I missed most often required you to backtrack right after you got a power-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 The way y’all are talking about this game makes me wish I enjoyed 3D platformers these days.

My guess is if you liked Odyssey, you'll like this, but you if you didn't love it you probably won't love this. Unless you're @Bacon 6 minutes ago, Dodger said: I had no idea that’s what that bird did. Is there any other use for coins? When you get enough puzzle pieces (you don't need that many) you'll unlock the "gatcha machine" where you can spend coins to unlock stuff for the bots on the crash site, costumes for your character, and skins for your controller. (You will also need to unlock other things with the puzzle pieces to get the costumes and skins) 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Splashing Sprint, am I stupid? Spoiler When the moving horizontal columns spray fire after getting past that pumpkin looking enemy, you're supposed to run to your right and use the duck to get rid of the tar.

I can see the argument, although I enjoyed exploring the worlds in Odyssey and them being a bit wider helped fuel that feeling of exploration. Some of the worlds in Astro Bot still gave a similar feel while being denser though. Like, I actually really loved the underwater world. It had a similar feel of being open but was simultaneously more dense. So they can pull that off, but that was just one style of world of many styles, whereas in Odyssey it was the whole game. Ultimately, I think my biggest knock against Astro Bot is I wish there was more. More of those open feeling worlds, and more of the more focused challenge levels. I'd gladly throw money at them if they released more content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the level that get's everyone Spoiler Make sure you're already moving as you pick up the duck and do *not* try to walk the the path straight forwardly, following its curves.

And I'm sure it will come as no surprise to you that the underwater world was my least favorite level. I groaned when I got to the starfish area lol. So while I don't want more of that, I super want more challenge levels. Like, double what we already have. I love those levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, while the other challenges levels are clearly harder than the main world levels, Splashing Sprint in particular was hard. That and "To The Beat" were the two that gave me the most trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of his attempts for that level are great. This level was the second hardest for me. I now have beaten every level and need to clean up a couple of crash site trophies. The top of the statue, and the picture of Drake and Aloy, I believe. I’ll do those today sometime. I have to look up how to get them together to take a picture.
