You can try looking around for other powers, I recommend a coffee machine for BOOST :) Also, the most important one to beat is the damned, to get FENRIR.
Star bomba the powerful it might fail a few times if you have enslave use enslave on the powerful and just grind it down and switch its attack with star bomba.
I "accidentally" spammed boost and then used explode and I think I killed the almighty and the entire universeIf your wondering, the last time I took a picture of the boost modifier it was at
If anyone wants an incredibly slow way to kill the almighty: Start with Gravity and Boost and Terraform. It is possible to kill the powerful steal their health then go to the wise and and steal either Fenrir or Jormungandr, I forgot which one it was then get the other one from the one at above the almighty, I also forgot the name, then go to the almighty then use Fenrir to turn the Ragnarok's into go then (make sure to use Fenrir until next happens) wait until it highlights a go then use Jormungandr to regenerate all health then follow the same procedure of using Fenrir until the next move is a highlighted go then use gravity to slowly kill the almighty, make sure to check if its highlighting a go before using Gravity.
Edit was just to change some letters and move around text.
This is a really fun game! I hope it gets a sequel or an update so the fun can keep going. I understand if you don't want to make new stuff for this game, though.
Alright, well, I completely understand. While looking up your game, I found someone else is making a mod of your game and it looks like a completely different game. It only has a demo, but I hope to see more of it in the future. Good luck with your projeçt!
If I knew coding, I could try my hand at trying to make my own Universal Thief mod, but I suck at coding. And if I could draw pixel art as well. Anyways, this is a fun game, and I hope you expand upon it in the future!
I was going to write a whole comment about how The Almighty wasn't possible for reasons that none of you get to hear anymore but it boils down to me misreading the description of Nidhogg
This might be my favorite jam game ever. The story is really cleverly worked in for a game with no dialogue boxes, as you start as a lowly intern and grow stronger and possess cars and fight the... leader of China and destroy gods and become all-powerful. I mean wow. The bit with the plane is really clever and took me a minute to figure out. The strategy with which abilities you get is really neat, although Rally/Conquer, Boost, and Close will get you through basically all battles before the last few. The bit with the planets is awesome in every way; playing as Youranus is the pinnacle of gaming. Playing as really random things like street signs and doors is also really funny, especially since I fought The Almighty as a printer. And finally, this game is not only massive but massive and polished and I'm shocked that this wasn't expanded in an update because there's no way this was made in 48 hours.
Congratulations on making the most mind-boggling jam game of all time. Universal Thief deserves every second I'm putting into writing this. Which is a lot of them.
And while I was writing this I had possibly the dumbest question ever: What are The Almighty's pronouns?
hey, thanks a lot for the review :) This game was made with our heearts and souls, I'm glad you had fun! It was made in 48 hours (except the music, which was made beforehand by myself from other games I made), and then I spent a few hours occasionally the following week to iron out bugs and polish things.
Is "The Powerful" the entity that ends reality on your previous games? since they use attacks in an "X" shape to destroy anything on it's path in 2 of your games and on this game they have an "X" on their face, as well as a move that is meant to destroy anything no matter anything's health, just something i've wondered as soon as i saw them
Uh, I have completed the entire game, killed every possible enemy and still dont know what stealing an enemys identity does except for when stealing an areas boss identity or the plane identity to advance in the game levels. Anyone figure out what it does, or if the creater of this game answers this question, what does it do
hey! I didn't have time to fully flesh out the identity stealing mechanic. One minor effect is that if you steal a car or a plane you can go faster / fly over water.
ok, thank you very much. Sorry you didnt have time to fully flesh it out but I'm glad you still tried! Also a little surprised your still dedicated to answering every comment! Have a good day, and great game!
I love each move's flavor text that changes depending on who uses it. Just when I think it couldn't get more ridiculous, it does. Had a lot of fun playing this, thank you! :D
Really fun game! The first chapters and fighting doors and printers made me laugh and the gameplay made me stick around. The art for the gods is gorgeous as well, whoever made those deserves all the praise in the world. All together, excellent!
After stealing the Mayor's ID, I got to the level with the island, the city, and the plane. I didn't steal the plane's ID, thinking I could just be the mayor, and I had to restart. Other than that, great game with fun combat.
thx, also, nice to see someone replay to the comments even if they no longer work on the game. Amazing game, and I did manage to make it to the gods, couldnt beat them, but still.
idea for challenge pick a identity then stay as the identity's move set until the final area good luck (i would try beating the game as a printer but the printer's attacks are basic i guess also you are allowed to get enemy's hp but you must stay with your moveset until final area)
Okay, I desperately need help. I'm facing off against the mayor and I'm basically stuck because he keeps healing and none of my attacks that I had access to do more damage then his heal, and he does a heal every other turn
It one of the best game I have played . Are you still updating the game?If you are ,can you put an in game timer I love to speedrunning this game but I did it without a timer so I love a in game timer to see how I did.
I've been playing for a while trying to get through one segment, and the mecha goon keeps using recycling and i have land, and when they use recycle they use GO sometimes and that crashes the game :/
oh right I hadn't thought of that interaction. Try to avoid the mecha goons I guess? :/ Or steal another healing ability. What recycle does is reuse the last healing ability used.

You need to turn yourself into a plane, Cueball.

you can press R to restart the room and it will respawn :)
so i got to the wise, the damned, the powerful, etc. but i cant beat any of them :((((
i forgot to switch star bomba to gravity :(((((
You can try looking around for other powers, I recommend a coffee machine for BOOST :)

Star bomba the powerful it might fail a few times if you have enslave use enslave on the powerful and just grind it down and switch its attack with star bomba.
i went to go fight a door and it crashed ;-;
I used copy after a enemy had just used "go' and the game crashed :V
yeah it happens a lot :/
I "accidentally" spammed boost and then used explode and I think I killed the almighty and the entire universe
If your wondering, the last time I took a picture of the boost modifier it was at
Damage x4503599627370496.00
that's a lotta damage 0.o

Hey! Unfortunately I don't plan on making a sequel. However, a similar engine is used for this super secret project I am working on:

ah yes, you mean Ultraninja :) Not sure if it's discontinued or not, but the mod is very cool!

I copied the photocopier which was using copy and accidentally caused an endless loop of photocopying
yeah this one is a known bug
i am stuck at mayor
I suggest getting boost (from a cop) and then thrash (from a trash can) .
Against the mayor, use boost 4 times and then thrash.

The almighty's pronouns would be they/them!
So g00d! And doors are too powerful.
yeh doors are mighty beings
The game likes to “hold the door”.
Is "The Powerful" the entity that ends reality on your previous games? since they use attacks in an "X" shape to destroy anything on it's path in 2 of your games and on this game they have an "X" on their face, as well as a move that is meant to destroy anything no matter anything's health, just something i've wondered as soon as i saw them
the powerful is just one aspect of the almighty :) basically a world-specific global god in each game. They will have similar goals and properties.

thanks a lot for playing and for leaving this kind message :)
question: are you supposed to disappear when going above the damned in the final area?
I guess that's a bug but if you walk down you'll be visible again :p
2 boosts + gravity = instant death
yup, it's a good strat!
pretty good
thx :)
<3
"close" is too much of a loophole,please balance
yeah it breaks a lot. Sorry!
Game is not MEANT to be balanced however X)
dammit
I love this.
Bug report: using copy after a stop sign uses stop turns their stop to go. then if they use go, and you use copy, the game freezes.
Cool game!
thanks for playing :)
God, Rally + HP steal is so OP
cool game!
DUDE talk about Conquer
DUDE talk about ragnarok
this game was made for broken combos :)
wait till you get conquer
How do i run the game once ive installed it I don't see any executable
Really fun game! The first chapters and fighting doors and printers made me laugh and the gameplay made me stick around. The art for the gods is gorgeous as well, whoever made those deserves all the praise in the world. All together, excellent!
Woah, cool game. Great job!
thx, I put my soul into it :)
It really shows, I hope you keep making awesome games!
wonderful game! I won, I'm so happy :3
congrats on winning :)
I used recycle on the enemy's go and it crashed my game. Was enjoyable though.
oh no
After stealing the Mayor's ID, I got to the level with the island, the city, and the plane. I didn't steal the plane's ID, thinking I could just be the mayor, and I had to restart. Other than that, great game with fun combat.
you can use R to restart the level, also leaving the game and coming back loads your save
thx, also, nice to see someone replay to the comments even if they no longer work on the game. Amazing game, and I did manage to make it to the gods, couldnt beat them, but still.
Yeah I try to keep up with comments, they are the reason why I make games :) glad you liked it!
so i used copy the enemy used copy if you do the math you know i found a loop
yeah my game can break sometimes X) it's a jam game after all
idea for challenge pick a identity then stay as the identity's move set until the final area good luck (i would try beating the game as a printer but the printer's attacks are basic i guess also you are allowed to get enemy's hp but you must stay with your moveset until final area)
That sounds like it would require a lot of luck and grinding X)
unless you have complete the game with 10 hp just saying
yeah I did that one already X)
well me too
Awesome
thanks :)
President used 2ND TERM!
This particular battle is beyond stupid.
I know right X)
So are most presidents.
just finished for the third time, current speedrun time 37:43
woah, nice time :)
haha thanks! i'm no speedrunner but for some reason this game made me want to try :) new personal best 28:57
Okay, I desperately need help. I'm facing off against the mayor and I'm basically stuck because he keeps healing and none of my attacks that I had access to do more damage then his heal, and he does a heal every other turn
you can use eco-tax to divide his hp by 3 or use boost to boost your damage a bajillion times before attacking
It one of the best game I have played . Are you still updating the game?If you are ,can you put an in game timer I love to speedrunning this game but I did it without a timer so I love a in game timer to see how I did.
hey there, I will no longer work on this game, however a remake is being made bu UltraNinja, maybe check it out :)
https://twitter.com/UltraSuperNinja/status/1391628455347769348?s=20
Thank for the tips .
youranus
the best planet
I loved it, I'm definitely going to talk about it
thanks, I like it when people talk about my games :)
The game freezes if you use boost enough times lol.
Great game though just don't sit there and spam boost lmao
yeah there's a certain power of 2 which breaks the game, I think it happens after you use boost 31 times or something.
Holy moly! This game is awesome! I mean, I suck at RPG's, but it was still a enjoyable experience regardless!!!
I designed it more like a puzzle game than an RPG :)
Absolute insanity, exactly what I wanted from "out of control"
thanks for playing :)
Became an intern, beat up my CEO, worked my way up, defeated lesser deities, stole their powers, defeated god, then stole his identity.
10/10 wouldnt touch ever again
Nice journey :)
