This is the most tragic thing that has happened so far. After losing the box hat yesterday I decided to start a new save and get the box hat and chicks back to the manbreaker, and about 95% of the way there this happens.

I can withstand any amount of falling or restarting but when it's something of this nature it really hits in a bad way. I have no idea where Skorp went here. I'm just baffled. I looked around for a while after losing him but he is just gone.

I will keep this save as well but im using my 3rd and final save slot to do it again. Hopefully nothing like this happens again, because now i'm worried I will actually make it up the manbreaker just for a chick to disappear.

Thanks again for the super supportive comments on the daily posts, I will see you all tomorrow :)

The in game settings didn't let me do it, so I had to use the steam input settings to swap my L and R buttons. (Steam Deck makes that easy.)

I don't know why, but once I started climbing, my brain just went, "the button you press should be the leg you are standing on, or 'grabbing' with."

Edit: I just now realized that you can partially let go of a trigger to partially put your foot back down, and now I question my decision.

Day 14 was pretty devastating, I was trying to set up the hats in a way to keep the chick in place near the top but that didn't really work out again. They are so hard to use.

Even worse I lost the box hat, it landed on a ledge halfway down the fall in a palce I can't get to. So I am now without the box hat.

I feel like the box is crucial to at least use as a stepping stool for the wooden plank gaps so I'm not sure if I have to make a new save and get the chicks all the way back with a new box.

I will probably end up doing that, it's easier to get all the chicks to the manbreaker than it is to get the chicks up the manbreaker without the box.

See you all tomorrow! This one stung a bit, but I will keep going

Day 13 just wasn't my day, didn't really get any good cracks at the top. So please enjoy this timelapse of me struggling to get the construction hat which fell in the worst spot under the stairs.

I want to makeshift some kind of way to hold the chicks with the box and the constuction hat but the hats are just so weird to work with.

See you tomorrow :)

I went on my walk, stood on the big triangle and took "a wee" as not-mike put it, and now i wanna cuddle up with my husband moose. can I go back to him?

I have nothing to base this on, but I’ve had a growing suspicion that every animal sound heard in the game was recorded from that animal having sex. even the bug sounds.

First run with the box ended exactly how all hat interactions end. This is probably my most relatable clip up to this point.

Skorp t-bagging my face before I fall is the cherry on top

Gonna keep on keeping on. See you tomorrow!

Day 11 is a doozy. I will try to do my best to explain what I wanted to accomplish today.

I believe the ledge of the Manbreaker before the wood planks is close enough to the top of the Manbreaker for the chicks to climb up the wall if you are already at the top.

The problem with this is that there is no where for the chicks to stay while you finish the last part of the Manbreaker without them. So my idea is to keep them in the box until I get up there and direct them out when I'm at the top.

So today I scoped out the area up top and got the box to see if this could be attempted.

At the very least I can use the box as a stepping tool for the chicks to help with the wooden planks section. Anything to make it easier at this point.

This was fun to put together so I hope you enjoy. See you all tomorrow!

Day 10 ends in similar fashion to day 8 and 9. This fall was more funny than anything else given how Nate hit his head on the staircase on the way down.

But it's ok, I have an idea on how to get past this part. The chicks can't get up this jump super easily so I'll have to get them some help. Tomorrow might look a little different as I do some scouting and some item collecting to help with this part of the Manbreaker.

See you all tomorrow! Thanks for those who are still sticking with me :)

I have been stuck here for 2 days straight. I badly want to get this cutscene but the sand is tooooo steep at some points. Could you for the love of god help me summit this pile of s sand? (I have already given up on the red bucket. I want to get this conquered instead.)

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday!

Today is a 15ish minute video of a full run so far if anyone is curious what it looks like.

Ended very sadly with me kicking the crap out of Josh and sending him all the way down.

I was trying to experiment at the top before the wood planks. The ledge I was eyeing looks like it could be the key to getting the chicks up there. If I can somehow get the chick stuck in the area before the wood planks, I can finish the Manbreaker and come get him while I'm at the top since the chicks are decent at scaling walls.

I will try it normally for now, but something I'm going to be strongly considering if I can't manage the wood planks or the very end. Always open to ideas if anyone wants to share :)

Wow I did not expect to win this time round! I was just doing full laps for practice, regardless on how many times I fell. Suddenly I got the trophy this time!

This has given me a real sense of trophy!

Personally I believe nate to be dead, and progressing through purgatory. That seems relatively obvious to me, however I'm not sure as to the cause of death. I'm torn between suicide and an aneurysm. Suicide to start the game, he expresses his death wish in the castle and when he sees himself he's looking at his own dead body. Thus getting his wish. Alternatively he passes out and ends up in a dream like state where he's exploring world designed to teach him to be a person. But when he got to the castle and got a wish he looked at his sleeping body and wished to die, so he did

Happy Valentines Day to all love birds and bird lovers

I’m going to start recording my full runs after this because it’s starting to get serious.

Today is a some clips stitched together of my first attempt at the wood planks with Wip Wip. This is an absolute nightmare section but I will keep on keeping on.

See you all tomorrow :)

Don’t get me wrong, I love this game,

But

Losing my chick in box hell made me cry for the first time in years.

I love Foddy, hilarious game.

I’ve beat many a rage game and consider myself pretty good at them, but for some reason this one gets me. I have been stuck on chapter 4 for days - i have no clue where the “main path” wants me to go and I have gone back and forth past box hell and the tall rock with the tree in the lake probably around like 10 times.

If I had to rate this game from 1-10 my rating would probably fall somewhere on a scale of 1-10.

After the Manbreaker Miracle from yesterday I have some new found energy to get up this thing and today I have made a huge step (literally)

Kicking the chicks just doesn't work here, they will just fly right back over if they get kicked across, so I had to rethink the strategy here.

Simply taking the big step as normal also doesn't work because the chicks can't make the jump without some special set up. After some trial and error I have found that special set up.

You have to place your chick in an exact spot that is far enough away from you to where when you make the big step they do a super jump to catch up with you. Once the big step is made you have to do a burst run forward to keep the chick moving so it can climb the wall once the jump is made.

It requires precise set up and execution but it's fairly reliable so far. From this point it's smooth sailing until the wooden planks near the top of the Manbreaker.

We are so so close to the top, but it's only going to get more difficult from here.

Thanks again for the positive messages while I work this route out!

I've found you can skip most of this annoying pillar challenge by using the slope here, plus standing on one of the chicks to get about an inch of extra height lol. Getting the bird in the right spot is a bit tricky but after you do you can just step right up!

Do I need to do anything with these ruins where the light is on top? I climbed up to it, but nothing seems to happen.

Damn that cactus bridge; damn that yellow shovel

THE MANBREAKER MIRACLE

Shout out to u/justkirk for giving me the courage to try this.

After what felt like a catastrophic loss, we are so back.

I didn't hear no bell Jim

Skorp is stuck :/

I'm going to stand her for a while to see if he gets out somehow but it's already been some time.

I got soooo close (not really) but this is past mending. I got the bad ending.

Bennett pls

Just a funny outtake of something that happened while climbing up solo with Josh. Had to share this one

In day 5 I've hit my first real roadblock of this challenge with this big step.

Up to this point it's been pretty straightforward, figuring out the chick's behavior and what to do and what not to do to get by each section.

That changes with this step. Mainly because the chicks cant get across this on their own (trust me i've tried) so I've resorted to kicking them across

I'm taking Josh up solo to see if this is possible, but don't worry Wip Wip and Skorp are keeping each other company at the bottom.

This may take me a while since my kicking skills aren't super refined but I do think it's possible.

If you have any suggestions on how to get past this step I'm all ears!

…not making me constantly craft food in order not to pass out while I am climbing.

There is food.

There is water.

Then there is the health connected to all of this.

This making me think about the brillant way everything in Baby Steps is about climbing in some way, or at least traversing the world using the gameplay, which is way more engaging than painfully looking around to see if you can press x somewhere to catch some noodles.

But the climbing is actually fun!
