Mysteries of the Revolution

Post by Cullie »

Firstly, what a great game! Bloody addictive and I'm enjoying discovering the various hidden features and gameplay elements...
but a few things escape me, maybe I'm missing something here...

Once I had figured out the sun and black hole thing, my attention was drawn to a sort wandering 'sun' and his little friend (which I'm calling the 'moon' for want of a better word!) Do these fellas do anything? They don't seem to have any gravity effect on things as far as I can tell...

I'm also intrigued by the little 'ghost' sheep that seem to pop up now and again, they have darker wool, and are quite pesky, they seem to want to lead me nowhere but hurtsville!

Cheers all

The other items are grav sources - not as strong as the Sun/Black Hole but have a definite effect. The circle-shaped one you get on Vindaloo and Phaal levels is actually a repulsor rather than an attractor.

The sheep with the grey fleece are a little bit shy. They can still be caught but you have to be quick :).

Is there something specific that causes the sheep to become coy? I was trying to work it out yesterday.

...they're naughty sheep, you go near them and they run away!
I've also worked out that the spinning flowery things fly in and stop the sun from shooting you (I think!!)
and the ring is a right bastard on Phaal level! your bullets don't go where you expect... there's a lot going on in there I can tell you!

... next mystery is...

I'm enjoying endurance mode as a quick twat-a-thon between pints... when I notice my 'boost' after building it up to 100+ suddenly drops to 1 with an announcement of 'onnnnnne' as in the first sheep is grabbed...

any reason for this sudden deflating of my score?!

This happens when you miss a sheep. :)

Did you miss a sheep? I'm sure someone said that resets the bonus meter or whatever it is?

Never miss a sheep! Missed sheep are disappointed, and baa mournfully and reset the BM to zero. You will also notice that flowers explode if you miss a sheep, just like in real life.
