The 🔐 (with key) means the ability locks for the remainder of the level. So you can only morph once per level, but it could potentially last the entire level.

When you get hit, you choose whether you lose 🩵s, 👙 or 👗. Normally, I expect you would only take the hit to armor if damage is -🩵🩵 or more.

But let’s say you Miss on Defend and damage is -🩵🩵🩵 hit. You choose to sacrifice the 👗 so you don’t lose any health. And while you’re at it, you decide to morph into a vegan giantess (because sacrificing the dress is the condition).

Now your armor is 👙🍄. You not only did not lose three hearts. You also still have two pieces of armor. And you’re huge, which at the very least makes enemies more smashable to you.

You can lose the 👙 before you lose the 🍄, and if you take -🩵🩵🩵🩵 damage and decide you want to stay big (Luma can fully heal the party between battles), you can choose to take the hit to health and never give up your form until the level ends!

So yes, the ability is once-per-level, but it’s effectively one extra piece of armor with benefits that you can keep for the entire level if you want to.

I want to unlock an ability. I pick which one?

Yes.

I want to unlock the "TWO TURNTABLES AND A MICROPHONE" then...

@Alepous
Would you like me to add a 📀, so you can possibly use that move twice? (You get either that or an add’l 🩷 for level 2, but so far, NOBODY picked the health increase over the alternative.)

Also, you get an extra die— +1D to 🕹️, ㊙️ or ☢️.

Just give me a bar of health then. I think I have enough disks 📀... for now

@Alepous Done! And what about the stat-boost. Do you want to improve fighting(㊙️), magic(☢️) or moves(🕹️)?

I suppose by now it’s obvious I’m a teacher because I suddenly don’t have an abundance of free time!

But anyway, a post will happen… eventually.





A funny thing about my search history from running this game: my phone now thinks I’m a video game nerd. It’s not wrong… but NOW, because I keep looking for 80s/90s game music, I keep getting suggested gameplay videos.

I can’t actually sit through these, but I was curious about what happens when you win Double Dragon as Marion.


May you live happily forever, Marions.

I would like to improve my moves 🕹️™.

Ye, my waifu is a teacher and she started again yesterday. It was a shock to go to full time work program from the holiday break. Heh.

And with a new baby…! I hope your wife’s school year is off to a good start!

My youngest is in secondary school now, so I don’t have that long stretch of after-school free time like I did last year (in the parent pick-up line at her former elementary school). I somehow found time in my "free" period to post Lv.4. Hopefully, it’s coherent.

I get some Aliens vibes from this planet?

Ah, that reminds me… I meant to abbreviate "Level" to make it even more obvious that I was inspired by LV-426, the doomed space colony of Aliens.. That movie is by far my favorite action movie, and probably the only 19XX movie I have any interest in watching. Star Wars: done. The Big Lebowski: memorized; I can just think it. Robocop: well… yeah, I’d buy that for a dollar.

The fun part about this level is I need to be Aliens-inspired but follow the no-killing rule.

I realize weekends are not when people post. But for the next couple days, I’ll see if any of you RP sitting together and eating. Your characters should enjoy themselves and not even be a little suspicious that something weird and dangerous will interrupt dinner.

Nah, I kid. I would never ask you to RP such naïvety.

So this is how it's supposed to be?

Yes, and Kurumi has to challenge the little alien to a dance-off.

I’m kidding… but that Spaceballs scene is equivalent to how ridiculous my actual plots are, so it’s for the best that I explicitly said "kidding."

Nice, @Dmbrainiac —that AI program is consistent with your characters’ looks!

Also, the tipping posts are a fun read! Glad the dice were favorable. (Apologies to Cass and Diamond if I just jinxed your collective luck by acknowledging it.)

I’ve got one more (intentionally-cringey) scene to post, but want to hold off until @Ysolde possibly tips the baristi and/or @Tickettbror replies to Pira’s question.

I don’t think I’m giving anything away by saying that, in my next post, the harmless, unimportant banter among background characters will take a turn for the harmfully-important.

Yeah, sorry, got some weird stomach thing going on at the moment and the cramps haven't made doing anything easy. I've got a doctors appointment next week which will hopefully give some answers.

In the meantime I'll get on this when I get a clear patch!
