Very cool, but also seems like it goes very deep. I'll try and come back later.

I managed to get to the outer edge of the universe and was exploring so long it started to make my phone super laggy.

How many items can be found?

[–] Risus_Nex@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know. I've got 8, but I am sure I haven't seen everything yet.

You've found:

a cool bug
a pretty leaf
a DVD of The Core (2003)
a secret glade
a holographic Charizard business card
a marsh wren
a tumbleweed
11 squares packed into a larger square

How do I use a spoiler tag here?

I got to a couple different planets and found a some uprades. Also a hint with a xkcd- link which pictures a map of one of the planets.

This is so much bigger, then I expected!

Hate to say your spoiler tag doesn't seem to be working on my mobile

[–] callyral@pawb.social 3 points 10 months ago

it is working for me on the browser, probably an issue with the app you're using

That's some very xkcd shit right there

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

I've been playing for a while. When I lag a lot, somehow it changes my phone background. It's happened twice now, probably the weirdest bug I've ever encountered.

Yeah the Aprils are good aren't they?
