Anoited

Hey, the acid potion is not for sprinkling on enemies, which doesn't work well, but for melting floors!

One of the exploded potions was a polymorph potion. I got turned into a sheep with bat wings.

When there's magic stuff covered by fog of war in Noita, it still shows you these rays of light to let you know they're there. There were a ton of them under this pool, so I blew up the bottom.

Unfortunately, the things were potions, and I also blew them up, so there was this tidal wave of various potions. (And lava on the bottom, which I thought was just orange potion.)

That little jumpy guy down there is screwed.

I got a literal rainmaking wand.

It's just nice to find a big treasure chest once in a while.

If you happen to hit the lava and die, the camera follows your particles as they sink through the lava. My remains sank for a really long time. Cruelly, the game shows that there is a tunnel at the bottom of the lava. So, clearly, there is some lava immunity thing out there.

So, I found lava in Noita. It was terrifying. But I did find I could sprinkle some mud potion on it and create temporary platforms.

Gunpowder is a material in Noita! I was so into lining up a safe ignition of it, that some guy killed me while I was looking at it.

Great savings! I did get that wand, and it had spells in it that cast other spells after a time delay. There is probably cool stuff you can do with it, but it was mostly really chaotic this time.

I actually got to the end of a level!

20% of my deaths are panicking when something gets close to me and using an explosive wand while too close to a wall.

This guy set himself on fire, then fell in acid. That's a pretty bad day!

The acid touched the fire and ignited.

This is the acid that came out of the guy in the previous post.

This guy had a lot of acid in him.

85% bloody!

Smoke flows strangely when simulated in particles.

This guy looked mean, but he was too big to fit through a crevice I ran into.

I started a fire that destroyed this wall, which let the water particles out.

Unstable teleportation? Yes, please!

So, there's this brown stuff I assumed was mud. After accidentally shooting a fireball into it, I discovered that it was oil. Noita is rich in fossil fuels!

The classic blood-water-acid-anger strata. (That top layer really is anger. Your anger goes up if you step in it.)

I got an egg, a classic fantasy mystery object. Shoulda busted it open right away, but instead, I got cursed so that the ground kept changing into a thing that damaged me when I touched it and died running from it and into some acid-spewing eyes, which were in some trees that were formerly clear.

Counterintuitively, Christmas is a time where we have a lot of time to myself because the guy is absorbed with his puzzles and Lego, so I thought I'd take advantage of it by working on my vocoder more.

I got to the point at which I realized that the two versions come up with extremely different results for inverse square roots of the same near-zero values. I did some hacking to make the C++ version more like the pd version. It didn't help, and I felt really tired.

So, I went onto GOG and bought Noita, then got it running via Wine and got the Switch controller working with Ubuntu.

It's pretty cool, even though I'm sure it's running slow for me.

In the first 19 seconds of my second run, I blew myself up with a bomb wand, but also saw a subterranean passage when I went into the divot caused by the bomb.

Then, I used the bomb wand again to try to blow up a path down to the passage, but I didn't go far enough away when I threw a rock at my bomb and died.
