Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.


Game Options

Progression Balancing

A system that can move progression earlier, to try and prevent the player from getting stuck and bored early. A lower setting means more getting stuck. A higher setting means less getting stuck.
This is a range option.

Accessibility

Set rules for reachability of your items/locations. **Full:** ensure everything can be reached and acquired. **Minimal:** ensure what is needed to reach your goal can be acquired.

Coinsanity

Adds a location check for every collectible coin on the map (246 checks). ON: each coin is an Archipelago check and grants no local cash when collected. Cash comes from received Coin Bundle items and passive income instead. OFF: the coins are not checks, so they keep their normal vanilla payout and top up your cash exactly as they always did (on top of Coin Bundles and passive income).

Enemysanity

Adds a location check for destroying each killable hazard on the map (9 checks). That is the 6 patrolling "robot" enemies plus the 3 floating bombs. The 2 saws are not included because they cannot be destroyed at all -- killEnemy() only has branches for e.robot, e.bomb and e.boss, so a saw simply absorbs the shot. All 9 require shooting. A robot can only ever die to a bullet. A bomb can also be set off by walking into it, but that does not count as the check -- destroying one with your body just clears it for the rest of that round (it is back next run). Both send their check from killEnemy(), which is only reached from the bullet collision loop. Robots and bombs are NOT removed from the map once checked, unlike collected coins -- they are hazards as well as checks, and deleting them would make the map progressively easier than the one the logic was derived from.

Damage Boosts In Logic

Allow routes that require deliberately taking a hit to get past a hazard. Taking damage grants 60 frames of invulnerability (killSprite sets sprt.inv = 60), which is enough to run straight through an enemy that otherwise cannot be passed. One spot on the map genuinely needs this: the floor robot under the low ceiling near the boss door has 200px of clearance above it, and the player plus the robot need 210px, so it can neither be jumped nor walked through. Any route relying on this needs at least 2 hearts (1 Progressive Energy) so the hit is not fatal. Turning this off removes every such route from logic; the solver confirms every location also has a gun-based alternative (shoot the robot -- killRobot deletes it permanently), so nothing becomes unreachable, but expect Progressive Ammo to become much more load-bearing.

Recoil Boosts In Logic

Allow routes that use the laser gun's recoil as a movement tech. shoot() sets your horizontal speed to 8 in the direction OPPOSITE your facing, replacing whatever it was. Below about Speed 4 that is faster than you can run, so turning around and firing is a genuine speed boost -- but it needs a frame-perfect turnaround, which is not something to expect of a first-time player. Off by default. The solver found this only opens ~40 shortcuts across the map, and every location it touches is reachable without it, so enabling this simply gives the generator cheaper alternatives rather than unlocking anything new.

Knockback Boosts In Logic

Allow routes that use damage knockback to launch across gaps (a BLJ-style trick). killSprite sets your horizontal speed to 43.2 away from whatever hit you -- roughly four times max run speed. Turning around on the hit so "away" points where you want to go throws you across gaps that are otherwise out of reach. It is frame-perfect and quite advanced. This is SEPARATE from Damage Boosts In Logic: that one is about tanking a hit for the invulnerability frames to walk through an enemy, which stays available either way. This is specifically about weaponising the knockback velocity for distance. Off by default. It is by far the bigger of the two techs -- roughly 1,300 shortcuts across 187 locations -- but again, nothing depends on it exclusively.

Passive Income Seconds Per Tick

Seconds of cumulative round playtime needed to earn one passive income tick. This is a softlock backstop: since map coins are pure location checks now (no local cash), a player who has spent everything and hasn't yet received a Coin Bundle item would otherwise have no way to ever afford another shop purchase. Lower values grant cash faster.
This is a range option.
