Can someone tell me how the Steam version of this game is different from the free versions?
it has 2 entirely new quests marine and pekora
that each have their own unique gameplay and stages to play through
plus an extra mode to play as noel only through flare quest.
there's a button to switch characters instantly now in flare quest instead of having to pause to switch every time now.
you don't lose your charge when getting hit anymore.
various stage differences to existing stages such as the mini boss in falls for flare quest is completely different now among other things.
balance changes for weapons and bosses etc. overall they're a lot of changes and new content that makes it worth buying.
Well unfortunately I won't be able to buy this game. I live a poor third world country and this game is like my month's salary. So poverty version of the game for me (free version), wheras VIP version of the game for u (Steam version).
press "up" two times!

IMPORTANT please read this post if you want to know what's happening with the game currently.
For anyone wondering the Steam version is basically going to be a completely different game so that's more than enough reason to buy it.
And because the game is going to be sold on Steam now the free versions (previous versions of the game before Steam) can no longer be distributed officially by the developer.
1.1 and 1.2 are the current version of the game, 1.3 is going to be the Steam version. 1.2 is more or less the same as 1.1 but it has updated sound with a bunch of quality of life changes that 1.1 didn't have along with some bonus content.
Until recently 1.2 was never publicly available outside of the games discord but it is currently the download available on the page right now. It was 1.1 before.
In a few days the game wont be officially available for free anymore but you will be able to get all of the free versions still from speedrun.com
But please consider buying the Steam version it will have a lot more content that is not available on the free versions and it helps support the developer.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
Almost forgot to mention the game will release on Steam on October 24th and it will cost 7.99 USD
What is known about 1.3 so far? What does it contain?
Well there's a lot to know just from the Steam trailer.
- There will be 2 new playable characters Marine and Pekora
- There will be multiple new boss fights.
- It looks like there will be 2 new stages but I could be wrong that's just a guess.
- And I'm assuming there will be at least 1 more new end but that is also just a guess, it makes sense though that there would be.
Outside of the trailer I don't know much about 1.3 mostly just stuff that is only relevant to speedrunning. But there are a few things worth noting.
- You wont have to pause to switch characters anymore.
- Marine and Pekora will be separate modes so you will not be able to switch between 4 different characters. It will only be Flare and Noel the same as before.
- Cursed mode is gone, it technically counts as its own character so there would've been 5 characters but its been removed from the game now I guess. Not very surprising because it was something you only got from getting all of the achievements in the game and I think most people didn't know about it anyway.
That's everything I know about 1.3 aside from the speedrunning stuff. There could very well be a lot more that I don't know about, I'm sure the dev wants to keep at least some of it a surprise so we'll just have to wait and see.
Keep in mind everything I do know outside of the trailer is only from what the dev himself tells me so if anything is wrong or isn't true then my bad. But hopefully I haven't misunderstood anything, either way though I don't want to spread misinformation.
Was it removed from here? Can't seem to be able to access it here.
yes it was removed and the game isn't publicly available anymore so you have to wait for the steam release
That's a shame. Wanted to get it DRM free.
well you're in luck because the dev just decided to put the game back up rn for a few more days just now literally so download it quick
I dunno. They could also sell it here and have a steam key generated with the purchases, as well. I dunno how Holo Indie works, but they could strike a deal that way, IMO.
was literally offered the game again but instead just left a salty reply ;>_>
I've gotten this screen 3 times now w
How do you quit the game (using in-game menus)? There seems to be every option but that and all can do in fullscreen (apart from turning it off) is Alt+F4.
BTW, the game doesn't save my options: it starts of windowed and with Type A controls.
I'm worried any further questions I have will lead me to Discord, which my client is getting filled with Servers I join just for that purpose and never use again...
Thank you for the feedback! You were right to worry, there's an updated version of the game (1.2) in the discord with a few improvements like better saving options and a quit button! :')
I DONT KNOW WHAT THE F U C K IS A NUINUI BUT I AM GOING TO QUEST IT, THIS GAME IS THE BEST.
This game is so freaking cool! I hope you'll make a Steam version someday . Btw have a nice day!
Thank you for playing!
I have finally gotten all achievements, and beat everything besides HQ as cursed, might come back to do cursed hq but imma go play other games
I swear to God. Hololive fans make the best fan games. Great job
uno de los mejores juegos que e jugado
Can someone explain how to do the jumps to skip the pekora and towa fights, are they just frame perfect jumps?
And for towa I got to the top of the fight room but I'm just stuck
You'll get better help on the discord (linked on both the speedrun.com page and on sulpx's twitter), but:
- Pekora skip is done with a buffered jump (holding jump as you land to get a higher jump) to get up to the ledge, and then a damage boost (jumping on the same frame you take damage, usually done by using swords, switching characters, which makes the swords hit you) to get the height to end up in the loading zone for the next stage above.
- The room for the end cutscene is directly below the Towa bossfight, so when you're above the room, jump off to left (to get over an invisible wall) and then hold right to end up in the room with the cutscene
If you're interested in that sort of stuff, would highly recommend the discord 'cause that's where all the speedrunning stuff is
I can't believe this game isn't in the holo Indie partnership. It is one of the best Hololive fan games ever made.
I got it to crash
great game heres 5 reasons of a great game 1: the art style its noice
2: the bosses are hard and fun 3: achievements they are hard to get but fun!
4: modes noel is fast but meele flare is slow when sliding but has ranged attacks
5: the story its confusing but fun
this is an awesome game but i cant defeat noel if i cant heal so ill never beat her
nvm lol
Cool game
Not work on windows 11, or i didn't install the game correctly
I like the boss rush at the 6th level, have yet to beat it but it is a fun trial, the one with the sword and shield is really difficult.
Noooooo, I got through every boss except for reaper and knight, and got the knight to 1 carrot missile from death, and then died because I couldn't land the final blow (darn shield)
I got another one where I had every boss done, but then on the last one they rewinded the battle back to the start when they and me were both 1 hit from death, dooming me
Pretty good!
great game:)
respect
Must have been insane to do noel only for all of the boss rush
honestly aside from Ina (which, by leaving and re-entering the room with the first lock, you can reroll the boss to force her to be the first) it’s not too awful.
Is the audio working on Linux yet?
Nope, also both linux builds are broken. The deb installer always hangs on destroying first boss (and no audio). The appimage is mispackaged with a libpango issue coming up on run (no launch). Also, the windows standalone crashes with Wine (both standard Ubuntu repo wine and a recent Proton build. Perhaps later?
muito bom, ótima jogabilidade e gráficos incríveis!
For anyone wondering there is a small but dedicated Speedrun community for this game. The game is on https://www.speedrun.com/flare_nuinui_quest and we have a discord https://discord.com/invite/GqbAV9AmUW here's what a Speedrun looks like
interesting, guess thats an out of bounds that doesn't reload you
You can completely skip calli if you just wall jump (this is really good for the speedrunning achievement)
If you get Miko to 50% hp and the blackout appears, you can go to a different level, and the blackout stays until you die or beat miko. But imo you should keep this because it's basically another way to make the game insanely hard. (I managed to somehow beat holo hq with blackout, though lv 6 calli's blackout just makes the entire screen black until she uses the drop down attack) Picture for example.
Don't worry there's a lot more exploits and glitches than that and the dev and speedrunners are both completely aware of it. Here's what a speedrun looks like
also thanks for the idea for dark mode thanks to you the speedrun community has enjoyed doing it as a meme run now
My contribution
Super cool game! Something I think that should be considered for one of the boss fights is tone down or remove the lightning flashing effect for people with photosensitivity/epilepsy cause it's pretty aggressive on the eyes
Really great game!! I like a lot the graphic design and the level design of it!! Very good job!! For now I was not able to obtain Noelle and obtain the good ending, but well, I hope to find the way to obtain Noelle and the good ending soon
quite mange to get half of the achifmint and it was such a good gref and reminded me of the good old games , thanks
my game froze in a speedrun of stage 5 after deafeing a boss _rageeee_
Absolutely loved the game, music was great, and it was super fun trying to 100% it,but i'm a disapointed by the actual 100% reward, other than that it was a fantastic game.
Yes, but I find it funny so I left it (you can also use it to damage boost during speed runs and stuff)
I understand and find it very interesting!
I have now beaten the game three time and i'm looking over my items and there's a slot missing do i get it when i get all the achievements?
yes you do
OMFG I WAS GONNA GO TOO HEAVEN!!! MY LAST BOSS WAS INA RIGHT? NERF HER TENTACLES BECAUSE WHEN THE BRIDGE STOPPED SHE WOULD JUST THROW THEM OUT LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW NOW THE BRIDGE IS GONE AND I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO!!!
I have now beaten it and finally thank the lord ddd
It's so fun!but i played on browser ,I find the final boss when my browser crashed.
The fans in port suck super inconsistent and it's rng if they will send you to the correct height
Oh, I think it depends on how near you were on the fan. The nearer you are, the higher you get launched. I learned about it while I was playing other platformers with similar obstacles.
how do they work? elaborate
They're momentum-based. It works similar to other fans in platforming; the height you get is dependent on how much vertical momentum you have when going in. If you're already in the beginning of a jump when you enter your fan, it'll boost your jump significantly, allowing you to reach higher places where the highest possible jump alone, or the highest point on the fan alone, wouldn't let you access.
TL;DR: Start your jump as you enter the fan's range to get the biggest boost.
Why thank you for your help :)
really good art nice I wish jump was spacebar however
press enter and go to options can change the jump key
is there any way to save your progress?
press enter
WHAT
HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT MENU BEFORE thank you so much for telling me this lol
Hey it seems there's slots for 2 items are there 3 or 5 items?
There's 5 items in the game. The last one is obtained by completing all the achievements
what about the 4th one?
You unlock it at some point in stage 7, after getting the good end and clearing the boss rush
oh ok tk
This game is soo good, looks like momodora fused with Touhou luna nights and this is BEAUTIFUL
wonderful
