You are a lonely pixel. There are exits north, south, east and west. You smell something bitter and fresh to the northwest and something savory and metallic to the north
North.
North. This 'savory and metallic' thing sounds interesting.
vertical assent.
>>191329 There is something in front of you. It smells savory and metallic. The area around it feels wet and smells metallic. The strong scent blocks off all other nearby scents.
absorb thing/eat thing/overlap thing/whatever
Eat/Drink it?
>>191336 You eat the savory and metallic thing. You can grow one pixel. Fresh, bitter objects can be detected west, northwest, north and northeast. You can grow a pixel now or wait until later.
Let us hold on growing a pixel for now. Head West.
have it's stats be hard/metallic
>>191340 There is something bitter and fresh to your left. You hear the sound of gurgling to the west. You can grow a pixel.
Eat the bitter and fresh thing.
>>191346 You eat the bitter and fresh thing. You gain half a point. You now have 1.5 points. You can hear the sound of gurgling to the west. You can smell something bitter and fresh to the north. You can grow a pixel.
grow pixel
Let us go north and eat that bitter and fresh thing as well.
>>191348 You grow a pixel. You have .5 points remaining, but not enough to grow a pixel. Gurgling sound to the west, fresh and bitter thing to the north. You can now 'inspect' objects if you're next to them.
Let us head north and inspect this object. Might as well see what we've been eating.
>>191352 agree
>>191352 It appears to be green. It smells fresh and bitter. You hear the sound of gurgling to the west.
consume
>>191359 You gain half a point. Still not enough to grow another pixel. You hear the sound of gurgling to the west.
east.
West. Investigate if we're close enough.
>>191364 It appears to be something blue and flows north. It smells fresh.
drink some then east a bit, we are not big enough to ford a river.
>>191368 'sides it'd be cheaper to pay the non-existant indians anyways. But yeah take a drink
>>191368 You drink some. It feels refreshing, but it doesn't give you any points. You head east. You can't seem to smell or hear anything, now that the river is far enough. You think this really sucks. You're lost.
why can't you grow? you have a whole point, or do you need two to grow a third one?
anyway, search pattern. E N W W N E E N W W. stop if you smell anything.
>>191375 You move east. You smell something savory and metallic further east and something fresh and bitter somewhere north.
Let us head further east and investigate. The savory stuff has proven to be better than the fresh stuff.
>>191377 Go east and eat the metallic thing.
>>191378 It appears to be a dark piece of flesh marbled with fat. The area around it is covered in red, metallic-smelling liquid.
Eat the flesh, but don't mess with the liquid.
>>191381 You gain one growth point. You can now grow another pixel. When you have more than two pixels, you can pick an arrangement. On top of this, enemies will start appearing. Defeating them will award you with points towards growth.
>>191382 A straight line for speed.
Yeah. Let's stick with a straight line for now.
>>191384 You do this. What next?
>>191386 Let's head N for now.
Definitely North. Be on the lookout for any new foes, though.
>>191387 You hear something moving around to the north.
Keep going north.
>>191393 You go north. Whatever you were hearing, it can walk around. It doesn't sound like it's particularly big, though.
(SOrry guys. My internet is horrible.)
>>191396 Go back and get the bitter/fresh thing for another half point so that you can grow again.
>>191418 You don't seem to smell anything bitter and fresh nearby. The source of the sound moves again.
move north carefully,
>>191451 You move north. The source of the sound is right next to you.
examine it, be ready to move if it trys to bite you or something.
>>191454 It appears to be a weak little pixel. It is moving around, attracted to the metallic smelling liquid you are tracking. (Pixels not your own colored in dark gray)
can you commune with it? if so then do it. if not then eat it.
Might be a good idea to head back to the water and wash up some, we seem to be leaving a trail from that puddle of blood.
>>191457 You can't eat it alive. You decide to rough it up a bit first. Your pixel hitting it makes loud sounds.
pincer attack, use two pixels and smack opposite sides together.
Bah, we're clearly doing good. Just keep thumping the sucker. Ideally if it's still following us, and we actually need a running start, start looping around in circles to smack it in the back while it follows the trail.
>>191465 It turns into something savory and metallic. From the battle, you seem to have gained 1 Pinching EXP and one Tail Slap EXP. It seems that next time, you will do more damage with these attacks.
eat it. then resume previously listed search pattern.
Move northwest after eating it.
OM NOM NOM
Actually, as well as that worked out, I say head back south and see if we can attract any more of these with more blood, or if the main pool has already done so.
>>191658 You eat it and gain 1 growth point. Two more until you gain a pixel. It seems that the other pixel started secreting the metallic smelling stuff when you killed it. Pixel stats: 1 GP [H] [1] [2] [H]: LVL1 Pinching [1]: NONE [2]: LVL1 Pinching, LVL 1 Tail Slap
>>191677 You hear something else approaching. It seems slightly bigger than what you hit last time, but still smaller than you.
go east a little then form an L shape to form a make-sift eye
>>191716 It doesn't work like that. This isn't PXL.
>>191726 Let's go kick its ass. Form a line and smash him with a head-on charge!
>>191733 You hit... Something.
I say back off for now and find another single. Once we have a fourth pixel and can presumably manage a pair of flippery legs to run off with, then we can come back and poke at fancy multi-pixel things in relative safety.
Uh... Try inspecting it? Maybe tail slap it, too?
You inspect it, then do a tail slap. The other pixel only seems to be 2 pixels long. It'll take a bit more for it to become stronger, though. <Cont>
It's trying to run away.
quick, execute a pincer attack.
Try and wail on it with everything.
Flail around at it. Also chase it down.
You use another tail slam. Pixel [2] levels up. The thing turns into something Savory and Metallic. It begins secreting metallic liquid. <Cont>
Pixel stats: 1 GP [H] [1] [2] [H]: LVL1 Pinching [1]: NONE [2]: LVL1 Pinching, LVL 2 Tail Slap
(Tip: Pixels will change depending on how you use them.)
Eat it. And then move around a little to dry yourself off. After that, what do you think about moving on, before something even bigger arrives?
MOAR TAIL SLAP Also drink the delicious metallic liquid.
>>191770 You move back to the place that makes the gurgling sound. Thankfully you dried off before anything bigger arrived. You can grow a pixel, however, you can't attach it to [2]
Attach to 1. It's high time we grew a limb of some sort.
>>191776 Asymmetry bothers me. But how about one to make us look like the T block from tetris?
>>191783 Or a square. High defense on that.
>>191781 {Left or right side, though? IT MATTERS!}
>>191786 Left!
>>191786 LEFT
You grow a pixel on your left side.
>>191791 Something else also happens. It seems that pixels directly next to the [H] pixel get automatically inspected! You can also inspect pixels that are 2 pixels away from your [H] pixel.
Oops. Meant to post that under FoE
>>191792 OK now let's go look at things. Go Northeast!
Yes. Head northeast so that we may be awesome with our newfound sight.
You sense dry and bitter scents everywhere. Sometimes, a fresh, bitter scent can be found near them.
So the highlighted pixel is our stomach I take it, not our head. Good to know. Anyway, being a carnivore is fun, so let's whack us some fresh scents and see if we can get all symetrical again.
Let's go and find those scents, then
[H] is the head actually. >>191801 You hit the source of the fresh, bitter scent a bit. It doesn't do anything special. [3] gets a bit of foraging experience though. It will take 9 more to level up. [3][H] [_][1] [_][2]
[[That image should be this.]]
eat the thing north of you.
>>191817 Eat everything.
This reminds me of Cubivore. Continue with the eating of everything, then introduce some more game mechanics, dammit!
>>191858 You gain half a growth point. You can't seem to eat the brown, dry, bitter stuff, though. GP: .5
form a line and swing whole body around to smack brown thing with tail end with a ton of momentum
>>192459 Can you crawl up it?
>>192460 You do this. [2] gets 1 point of Tail Slap experience. You hear the sound of movement around you.
>>192493 Check out the noise.
