itch.io

There is a dedicated section on the wiki for achievements

Yep, that’s me

The game is probably not going to be updated for a while

Saves are located here: %AppData%/../Local/pvz_isaac

On April 1st he posted this on Discord:

Also there are new channels for modders on Discord and Hummer was active there.

Try downloading it again. It should give you a notification, click it. It is gonna take you to the threat history where you can allow the last one. Re-download, it should be fine.

Was there a keep option? Found this pic here.

Guys, much more likely it is a false-positive.

It is a common problem with new games including those made using the GameMaker engine (which is the game’s engine). Here is an article describing that from GameMaker developers. And here and here are discussions on Reddit about it.

Basically antivirus software is constantly evolving to keep up with different malicious software being made and to be extra careful antivirus providers treat anything even remotely resembling a new virus as an actual virus before they are able to detect it better. And the reason you do not constantly get warnings for every piece of software you use as new viruses pop-up is because software developers get certificated to be trusted by antivirus providers.

I downloaded the last version (0.1.9.5) of the game in a few hours as it has been released and had no warnings about it and the file did not change since then. So, unless Hummer is a genius hacker, who developed a new virus never seen before by any of the antivirus providers and put it into the game before it was known about that virus, it is very improbable for the game to have a virus in it.

You are probably trying to view them in a program that is scaling them wrong since images are very small. Try opening them in an editor. Also remember to use “nearest neighbour” algorithm to scale pixel art if you will ever need to do so.

I thought I.Ruler is pulling from a storage on github and there is nothing new. What am I missing?

You can “Quit to Menu” and then “Continue”

Destroy your own before everything goes south. Practice to react faster. Use keybinds to act faster.

I wonder why on the main page in description it says “My Twidder:” instead of “My Twitter:”. Is this some kind of a joke I do not get or just a typo? I mean it has been there for a long while

There is a dedicated chat for such things on Discord. Check it out

Fun fact: there is a soft cap on heart producing babies. More you place - less effective they are (produce slower). As Hummer said on Discord: one column is good, two is super good, three is cringe.

It’s been 6 days since the last patch. Can’t wait for 0.2. What do you think is gonna be added? Or just chat here if you are bored without updates.

Hide health bars of Spider Mod for entities have full HP. They are annoying

Highlight items you have not yet seen. It will make 100%-ing the game a bit easier

Term hidden babies is unclear. Russian description of the “Peeping” achievement is much better

If you Alt+Tab while in Fullscreen and go back - the game goes into a weird state where it has a size of Windowed but without borders. It is fixed by double pressing F, but it is annoying to do every time.

Why do we use term loop? Wouldn’t it be better to use term lap instead, like in TBoI? So the original run is distinct.

First loop of Hardmode should not be considered just as a second loop of Normal (L2). Hardmode should have a dedicated icon or something

Fire from Crispy Baby and Paschal Candle stands out too much while they recharge. Should be more desaturated

Those two pixels from The Battery infuriate me

That random, third pick = hidden babies. Ball of Bandages is not red.

Try deleting config.json from C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\I.RULE

For me it is only bad on my phone since it is quite old. But the game needs to be optimized for sure. Usually my phone becomes real hot if is under heavy load, but not in this case. The game clearly not squeezing hard enough.

Why “Card style” option is only on android? I would like to see it on PC.

Just unlucky. Buy Mystery Gift every time for the Imp (it does not drop normally). Try looping I guess to reduce luck dependance.

Guys, I think we should give more attention to the r/I_RULE subreddit. It is not even sad right now, it is pretty much nonexistent. I think many of current topics on itch.io could easily be in form of a reddit post.

Same. Boredom is the reason I even have Double Baby, I just could not die and when my “suicide mission” failed I made one more loop and restarted. I think looping should be reworked somehow in the future, because right now it is pointless and boring to go for a 4+ loop since nothing changes, you can do the same strategy every time. And on top of that, you can not even play anything else (ok, you can do challenges, but what for). I would just make the game stop looping after the 3rd loop and move higher loops into distinct game mode, that would alter your build as you go (take some, give another choice).

oh wow thank you

https://itch.io/t/1932950/where-is-the-save-file-located

crystal ball does prevent you from getting the unlock

Probably it is Crispy Baby. It is just versatile and reliable: works everywhere, good on single target and also has a bit of AOE.

Congrats!

Is there something special when you complete all three save files? Let me know when you finish all three. I am unable to touch my third one since I have another person playing it. Congrats on the second one btw!

Doing it on a loop is harder even if you have every single advantage, Ark 2-3 is no joke. 

(I miraculously completed it on loop 4 on my first save file and in an hour completed it on a non-loop run on my second save file with no sweat)

Fishing material (you can complete first two floors just by using the base four babies so the focus is on Ark 2-3):

• Lil Loki is a solid pick since it can not be stolen by hands.
• Bob's brain is essential pretty much: against mulligans, whales and unexpected breaches.
• Deserters can be nice at the start of Ark 2-3 (and OP before that) since only 2 of them cover every line and destroy basic mobs with AOE;
• Blue Candle can empower Deserters with blue flame and they spread that blue flame to each other, so they might be more useful (this combo alone can carry you up to Ark 2 even on a loop; you probably do not even need the combo if you are not looping).
• Imp is OP if you are lucky to get one from Mystery Gift since it costs 0.
• Ghost baby is strong, but as any other fire power you are likely to lose them by the last wave due to hands.
• Blanket and/or Book of Shadows can help secure some fire power.
• Sanguine Bond is really good to place cheap spikes with Cube of Meat;
• Isaac's Fork is OP here to have some hearts going, but not essential, Red Shovel can be also of help since you do not usually want to have blow up material near the entrance and it saves you some hearts if you are removing Cube of Meat.
• Chargers can win you the last wave of Ark 3, just save them before that.
• Salvation effectively gives you free chargers so you can be more flexible with your defense on last wave.
• Glowing Hour Glass is all round best defensive and disaster-preventive active item; you can make enemies walk over your spikes twice, remove a sneaky bastard on that one line away from your charger or prevent an explosion, etc.
• The Black Bean is cheap and flexible source of AOE damage, can be helpful to weaken waves while feeding whales with bob's brain or placing Sanguine Bond's spikes in the process.
• Notched Axe can help you destroy "stoney bois". 
• Poke Go is really good, basically a free utility on cooldown. 

One timers like Snowball and BFF are a waste of space and hearts, do not use them.

TLDR: 

On a fresh run fish for:  Lil Loki, Imp, Deserter + Blue Candle, Ghost baby, Blanket, Book of Shadows, Sanguine Bond + Isaac's Fork + Red Shovel, Salvation, Glowing Hour Glass, The Black Bean, Notched Axe, Poke Go. Take Bob's brain.  And avoid Snowball and BFF.

When you quit mid run and continue you get to choose another team and re-play the level.

BUT:  If you have wasted a charger it is not gonna appear after resuming, 

your pills are gonna change if you used yours and/or found new ones,

and the level layout is gonna be different (would be nice to have it seeded and have seeds in general).

If we stick with the current approach of resuming; I want my chargers and pills back, but I also dream of resuming mid run without choosing another team and without an option to try-hard a difficult level by re-playing.

BTW: Current approach is not a middle ground, it is just bad.
