You know the best part about all this wacky movement? A few moves actually have extra lil' animations/ effects, showing that they exist on purpose. Intentional content creation! HUZZAH!!!

[@CausticMedeim]

The game's animations are all genuinely handled by the AI - it's one of this game's hallmark details. Also one of the reasons the animations can be so unsettling at times. But yeah, that'd be why they have special little animations - because the AI has to figure out a way to move the character like that.

just started playing this game and there is no way in hell that i would have know these moves are possible while looking for food, trying not to get eated, staying dry and trying to remember the way back to base. struggling at the moment but the game is growing on me

[@insignificantduck313]

Oh yeah, most of it isn't necessary in basic gameplay. Once you get to the point where you're no longer actively fighting the game's movement, you can pull off some pretty crazy stuff!

@@insignificantduck313 I can reliably kill green lizards now, but sometimes I still die while trying to retrieve the spear. Is it possible to repeatedly stab them to death before they eat you?

[@insignificantduck313]

@cannibalman8175 green lizards are harder because they're tankier than most lizards and are able to sometimes spin around while you stunlock them, so I'd recommend being careful around them. They're quite slow, so waiting a second to jump over them before taking the spear back out of them if they flip around is good. After ~3 spear hits they become quite weak

[@StuffandThings_]

Man, the more I look into Rain World the more I want to play it. Good movement mechanics are one of the most underrated aspects of games and these look incredibly elegant. If only I had the skills or the time for this absolute beast of a game...

It's got a lot of depth to it, but it's also pretty accessible. Picked it up as someone with pretty low skill in platformers and am enjoying it thoroughly. Go for it, it's really good!

[@FortressWolf97]

Even without this online tutorial, I love the implication that because there’s no in-game tutorial on these techs, you’re expected to discover these things on your own either by experimenting or by accident. It feels like being a toddler who’s figuring out basic motor functions like running, climbing, picking things up and putting them back down.

Is it just that it forces you to go the same direction when you double jump like if you jump the opposite direction it does a boomeranging type of thing? I thought it was something cooler.

I like how expert has pole climbing on the list. But to the fast pole climbing rivulet can't do it because it just yeets itself too fast to regrab, and instead just kinda fails to grip the pole. Or i guess it can i guess i just suck at fast pole climbing specifically on rivulet somehow.

[@ShinyKelp]

It is definitely a lot harder with rivu at the very least.

[@fist_lorderino]

I gave up doing this as Rivulet and opted for pole wall climb (boosting on pole, then jumping from it to cancel end lag and wall jumping) This tech is shown in the doc in the pole section.

[@pitched7401]

Tip for practising sideflip (on keyboard): -Wait untilt he slugcat picks up speed (don't wait too long or too short) -"Flick" from Down and Direction Key to the Backwards Key with as little time as possible. Don't release the keys and then press, slide off the keys, when they're down, right before pressing backwards with the thrid finger. You will hear a sound difference. -Tap jump in a rythmic fashion with the back key. You're doing two movements and the Jump Key presses with the start of each movement. Imagine you're doing a backflip the second you slide

[@twintyara6330]

Wow I'm impressed, I'm going to teach my slugcat parkour yay

[@AnotherCrucibleKnightFight]

[@FortressWolf97]

@@StiathirsTheProtogen sure, bet when you're facing them in Shoreline and in the one area of the Shaded Citadel, the better option is to fast swim near the base of the kelp so that they can't grab you. Sometimes you're not always lucky finding multiple spears in one area to deal with multiple monster kelps, so it's more efficient to just dodge them.

[@StiathirsTheProtogen]

@@FortressWolf97 Yeah, that's what I did. Always just have a spear just in case they grab you. Or just be Artificer and concussive blast them when they grab you.
