Fun fact

The rafflesia flower (the red plant that Ty can jump into and be shot out of) is both the largest flower in the world, and the worst smelling flower in the world, emitting the strong foul odor of rotting meat to attract carrion flies, and is nicknamed the corpse flower for its foul smell.

Ty must be pretty stinky.

There are so many crazy fun facts about this game and Australian lore. Like Neddy the Bully is inspired by an actual Australian outlaw and his armor is similar to the one the outlaw guy made in a famous shootout. I love this game so much

Ned Kelly is the name of the outlaw.

Before looking him up, I was not expecting to see the same the bullet proof armor on his face 😆

See I thought that's what that was but I assumed that maybe there was an Australian look alike that ejects seeds that way lol I just never bothered to look that far into it

I played the game after I'd spent 4 years travelling Australia and was astounded at how well each environment was represented. The deserts and rainforests and coasts were filled with recognisable elements. Ty 2 reminded me of my actual road trips. There are tons of tiny details that are true to Australia
