Splasher
What is this game ?
Splasher is a 2D-platformer game created by Splashteam, in which you control a brave prisoner of a scummy company, Inkorp, which crafts mysterious ink with surprising powers.
What does randomization do to this game ?
The basic idea is to break the linearity of the base game to create a new experience, and you have a few options to do so :
- You can choose to unlock every level from start, or lock each level behind a key obtainable as an Archipelago item.
- You can choose to lock you power unlocks behind Archipelago items, so you'll have to be a bit more creative to progress
As for locations, game's collectables (mainly, Splashers) are randomized and reward a random Archipelago item upon collecting them. You can also enable Time Attack locations.
What is the goal ?
As in vanilla, you need to imprison Inkorp's main scientist and set all prisoners free ! Reaching the last level is locked behind a customizable amount of Splashers.
What is unstable
- Logic, though now unlikely to have ground-breaking issues
- Feedback implementation : you'll not have in-game Archipelago messages. It is highly recommended to use a tracker during your playthrough.
