Jumble

Wager resources to match tiles in rows and earn rewards. The higher the wager, the higher the likelihood of reward tiles appearing.

Jumble can be frustrating to many players because of the seeming randomness of the minigame. However there are a few factors that can make the gamble easier and less stressful.

On starting a New Game, the board is covered by an orbiting circle of randomized icons that cycle through potential tiles. When the player clicks the 'stop' button the first time, the board will draw every 5th icon and place them from the bottom to the top in the left-most column. On the second click, it will draw every 4th icon, then 3rd, 2nd, and finally all 5 remaining tiles. This means that watching the last icon in the circle will reliably allow a player to place their desired tile on the top row of the board.

Enemy Stats

Enemy Count: round(d*0.1+3)

Enemy Health: round(d*0.38+1)

Enemy Armor: round(d*0.08)

Enemy Attack: ceil(d*0.39), capped at 99

All rounding would round half to even.

Order of Operation

1. Player action

This includes moving(WASD), waiting(Space) or placing bombs(Q).

Moving towards an enemy/gate would not move the player, instead the player would attack enemy/open the gate.

Moving outside a room would move the player to the next room, and respawn all enemies in the room.

Moving towards a wall/rock has no effect.

2. Bombs

All bombs will have their explosion cooldown reduced by 1, and if it reach 0, the bomb explodes.

Explosion will deal [dmg] damage to the enemy on it, and [dmg]*(2/3) damage to the enemies on adjacent 4 tiles, where [dmg] is your damage. This ignores armor.

Explosion will also damage yourself without the Eod Armor, using the same formula.

3. Enemy action

All enemies will try to move towards you following the shortest path, and enemies adjacent to you will attack you.

Enemies won't stack, so if an enemy try to move to a tile already with an enemy, nothing will happen.

Enemy moving order is (probably) based on the order they are spawned(and effectively a random order).

Maze Generation

The game first set all primary tiles(tiles with both coordinate even when using the center as the origin) to empty tiles. Room doors(the midpoint of each edge) is also set to empty to provide a way to enter new rooms

Then, the game uses the recursive backtracker algorithm to generate the maze of the primary tiles.

Finally, the game spawn chests and enemies. Chests may spawn on any primary tile that's next to three walls(aka on dead ends), and a gate/rock may spawn next to it. Enemies can spawn on any primary tiles whose Manhattan distance(ignores walls) to the nearest room door is no less than 5.

Note that due to order of operation, enemies will move right after you enter a new room and spawn them.

Perfect Space

To access it: Upgrade the arcade in the construction firm to tier IV(4)

(this section is mostly outdated because perfect space was reworked. please update this)

PerfectSpace.png

A space shooter game, where shooting asteroids and enemies increases score and grants experience.

WARNING: DO NOT PLAY PERFECT SPACE WHILE ADVENTURE SCREEN IS OPEN! Adventure will still receive input while Perfect Space is running, which can potentially kill your run if you changed your Adventure hotkeys to use WASD.

Controls: A + D: move left and right Space: Shoot (can be held down) Q: Use pilot ability W: Use ship ability E: Toggle Autofire S: Open Upgrade menu

There are 3 different spaceships you can choose from:
