if tenna and spamton get back together then that officially puts spamton into the role of Uncle which i think is a requirement

this area continued to be hype (ignore me missing every goldchunk i only have one eye)

-think about how you're gonna engage with the challenge before you've properly begun it if it was a Large amount of terrain, you'd be actively encouraged, and if it was None then you'd be forced to engage with it just as a platforming/puzzle challenge, it's perfectly balanced to keep you aware

something i really appreciate re: that design intent of "do it your way" is how every subarea will start with just a little bit of dirt/stone near the entrance it partially serves as environmental context, just the neat idea that terrain has blown in through this door, but it also pushes you to-

all of this while taking decisive inspiration from Rare's 64-era stuff and making it all fit.. i am Satisfied as hell and as far as i know i'm still in the earlier third of the game

nothing is sacrificed either, you still get constant engaging little challenges and intuitive mechanics and a proper sense of progression the fact that Any challenge involves some form of manipulatable terrain means i'm Always happy to find more

its amazing to me because most other developers would likely approach the concept of "terrain is your canvas" as "they can do literally anything, lets push them consistently in the desired path", but this game really does design around it with full respect to the varying intentions of its playebase

i'm Adoring dk bananza so far the stage design is such a standout and it really makes you reflect odyssey was very fun to me, but on replay it sorta lost some value as areas blended together in purpose - bananza really feels like the full realization of the same environmental premise

from where we are currently i'm led to believe it represents something specific that applies uniquely to each lightner something about the drive for knowledge and a willed unreality
but i look at the fanworks and i think everyone just wants a new spamton??

i cant stop thinking about why GLACEIR is deliberately, consistently misspelled in deltarune usually with that kinda thing its easy to track, it'll be some weird anagram or have an ironic meaning behind the deconstruction of the word but i can't make anything of this
