The second part of the Easter Event is out!
This is a single-player top-down controlled game in old-arcade style.
Disclaimer: Gaia is still tweaking the play-style and bugs associated with this part of the event. I will try to keep things up to date, but occasionally tips, bug work-around, and possibly even play styles may change! Seventh Update
-An instruction menu has been added to the upper right
-A monster toggle (on/off) has been added to the upper left
-Plat is worth up to 4 instead of 1 at higher levels, and 2 instead of 1 at level 1.
-Play has been extended to March 3rd
Sixth Update
-Hearts are now granted immediately upon finding them, which has cured a lot of the grant issues
-Monsters have been modified. Monsters cannot attack you while you are digging, and will actively stop hunting you while you are stunned.
-Monsters that walk over you will no longer permanently paralyze you
Fifth Update Changes:
-Hearts have been added as a dig-able treasure (update reported by Like a Leaf on the Wind)
-Monsters now roam freely and can stun you for three seconds if they touch you (update reported by H3av3n)
Fourth Update Changes:
-They have added on-screen control buttons for moving and digging (update reported by Like a Leaf on the Wind)
-Slight increase in rabbit speed, making it a little more difficult to navigate one square at a time
Third Update Changes:
-The exclamation point for the treasure-finder is now faster and repeats when stepping on an alert square. This makes it slightly easier to play without sound.
-Your rabbit now starts in the middle of the map instead of the top left-giving you easier access to the entire field
Second Update Changes:
-There are significantly less trees and rocks at higher levels
-A chime will play and an exclamation point will appear over your rabbit's head when you are within a 3 by 3 square range of a prize.
-Clocks are white instead of black, but no change in how they operate
-All digging animation will now stop as soon as the screen dims-but you can still receive any items you would have dug up, assuming you started digging before the last second ran out
First Update Changes:
-Easter Bunny is significantly slower when moving (making it slower but easier to navigate)
-Freezing issue is fixed for the moment. Clicking NEXT LEVEL normally should no longer freeze you even if you get down to your last heart.
-Page will auto-reload, giving you the option to continue, if you are in the waiting screen and your hearts refill
-The top right score will now automatically reset to 0:0 when you begin a new game, rather than when you dig something up
How to play: You are the Easter Bunny
-Use WASD or ARROW KEYS to move your rabbit
-Alternatively, you can tap/click the d-pad in the bottom left to move
-Hit SPACE BAR to dig (the game will not let you dig in the same place twice)
-Alternatively, you can tap/click the circle in the bottom right to dig
-The Easter Bunny will dig where he is standing, not where it looks like his shovel is
An EXCLAMATION POINT and a chime sound indicate that you are within a 3x3 range of treasure
STARS indicate you have missed
The question mark icon in the top right of the screen will now open an instructional menu
Monsters: Small spider-looking monsters move freely about the map
You can click the monster icon button in the upper left to toggle monsters on and off
-If you decide to turn off the monsters between rounds of play, make sure to exit all the way out of the game or return to title. Otherwise, it just turns the monsters invisible
When hit by a monster you will be temporarily unable to move for three seconds
-A field with no monsters will contain less treasure
-Monsters will follow you, if somewhat randomly
-The higher your level, the more monsters there will be. Level one starts with one monster only
-The monsters cannot stun you while you are digging, and will avoid you when you are stunned
Monster Glitching:
The severe monster glitching has been addressed. Monsters will now:
-Avoid you when you are stunned
-Avoid you when you are digging
-No longer glitch out when they walk over you causing permanent paralysis
Monsters are VERY prone to glitching
-If a monster gets on top of your rabbit you will be permanently stuck for the remainder of the round
-Glitching can also occur when a monster is on a set path between you and a wall or obstacle. In this case it'll just double back over and over, stunning you before you can move.
-Avoid monsters, but stay especially away from walls or obstacles that could force them to come back at you
Treasures: There are four things you can find while digging Clocks with allot you 15 extra seconds immediately New clocks look like this-bonus time is still 15 seconds
Plat with add between 2 and 4 Plat to your score total depending on your level
Eggs will add an Egg to your score total
Hearts will add one heart to your life total
(Hearts will not be tallied with the other treasures. They are granted instantaneously)
Your Playing Field:
-The lower your level, the smaller the playing field and the shorter the time. Level 1 will give you 40 seconds to start
-The higher your level, the larger your playing field and the longer the time. Level 200 will give you 1:30 to start
-This is a timed game. Depending on your level, you will have a different amount of time to complete it, starting at FORTY SECONDS and increasing as your level increases.
-As long as you start digging before the final second has ended, the game will let you complete that dig (even though the new update will stop the digging animation)
-Even if you fail to collect anything, your level at the top will advance to the next number for each round you play, unless you choose to reset to level one in the options menu
-Resetting to level one does not reset your egg count-just your level number
-Playing one round costs you one heart, notated in the top left corner
More About Hearts:
-When you have run out of lives, you can no longer play
-Every time you use a heart, a countdown timer will start. Once it runs out, you will receive another life and will be able to play again
-The wait between lives is 5 minutes
OTHER:
-If you play with your sound off like me, you may want to consider turning on the sound after this new update. The exclamation point notification only takes effect if you are standing still, while the chime will sound as soon as you stand on a square
-Occasionally, the digging animation does not happen. Keep pressing one of the movement keys while you are digging so that your rabbit will move as soon as you are done. This way you wont waste precious seconds, unsure if he is done digging or not
-Refreshing the page will subtract a life from you if you have already started playing
-Prizes seem to have a habit of forming clusters. This is NOT a guarantee. However, if you are out of ideas, or getting frustrated, it's not a bad idea to dig around something you have already found.
FROZEN GAMES: These issues have mostly been fixed, but I'm keeping them here just in case these issues come back.
-If you have one heart at the end of a run and try to play again, your game has a high chance of freezing. You have two options
1. Wait out the minute it would take to play the game and then hit Return to Title (hint provided by Jisen Meizuki). This will advance your level by one and take you to the waiting screen.
2. Close the tab or window completely and reload it. It will take you to the waiting screen. This will NOT advance your level.
3. To prevent freezing in the future, instead of play-next level, always choose return to title (hint provided by Jisen Meizuki)
Prizes:
The staff has been kind enough to create two more prizes to fill the initial empty-buttons for 100 and 200 eggs. Because of this, they have also extended the play time
