I would truly love to see this game get one or two big updates, but apparently it isn't getting any? I didn't see any news about it, at least.

title. kinda a joke but also hoping. would be better than 110% of games on mobile

So whats the tactic for collecting xp at the final swarm when no magnet and not so great pickup radius. thx!

I went into the Bark Vader fight max level, with 140k+ kills, and died to his trees while doing the pillars. I had 1k+ health and a ton of shield, but at some point he hits an attack with soooo many trees that is basically impossible to dodge. Second time in a row this happened to me where I was about to hit an insane score (by my standards).

Any tips on dodging his trees at this difficulty? I'm so annoyed that it went down like this.

My current PR is 600K, and hit around that quite consistently. To improve it I do believe I need to focus on tier 1. I usually leave with anything between 4K-6K kills, and I have seen runners do around 100K.

What I’ve tried:
• spam XP
• microwave watch
• lucky seed with anvil and soul harvester
• spam damage
• running magnet (item)

No matter what I do, the ghost keeps getting me around the 1 minute mark. I’ve watch YouTube tutorials on how to do this, but I can’t seem to replicate it myself. So, any tips to survive longer on tier 1? :)

Survived 23 minutes into stage 3 and went afk for a few mins on boss stage. Came back to loot a couple chests and my fingers were on the wrong keys - horror reset. Involuntarily screamed irl. I'm currently coping that it was a sub-optimal run bc I rage-banished beer stage 1 before I hit magnet, so I got left with 10 scarves instead of beefy rings. I now have a different bind to reset. How many kills do you think I would've gotten?

I'm not sure if anyone will find this interesting, but this amazed me last night. I opened up the Codex Windows desktop app and was able to create a custom mod from scratch in about 10 minutes. (In particular, all I wanted to do was increase Ninja's running speed and start him with double jump).

Here was my first prompt (just to see if Codex could actually help with this, as I didn't know). This was in "Plan" mode:

I have a game located at D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Megabonk called Megabonk, and I would like to create a mod.   Can you help me with this?

It responded that it could. It was able to tell that I already had other mods installed and I had MelonLoader.

My second prompt:

What I'd like to do is create a mod for the Ninja character to increase his running speed and to give him the ability to double jump.  What is a good approach for this?

It generated an entire plan for this, and after that I prompted "Implement Plan". It got stuck waiting, so I followed up with "What is a good next step?"

At that point, it asked me to go into implementation mode. It generated the code, compiled it and copied the DLL into place. I then manually tested it by playing the game.

Pretty amazing. A little less than 10 minutes start to finish.

(Now I will admit that I saved a lot of time because I already the .NET SDK installed, etc. )

Anyway, I thought I'd share. If you have ideas for mods, you can pretty much roll your own with no coding experience.

Someone recommended a size build on the gorilla dude i did aegis flamewalkers axe project/xp/size/ark speed. Anyways I needed 4 quests to unlock dice dude and if I completed this run on t3 forest for the first time, 15k kills, and beating forest tier 3 with him. I ended up having my best run ever, beat t3, and was 5 seconds off unlocking soul harvester to also got all 4 quests to unlock the dice guy and unlock what people claim is the best legendary to start a run. Just felt like the run where the game changes because you understand how to actually create a "good" run.
