The Nuclear Option

Pure art.

Surprisingly heavy in theme, though judging from the ARG for the regular game they may have been going for similar if non-nuclear ideas. I gotta say, making one of the engineers use the boop sound when they launched was... a bit odd considering the rest of it isn't that silly.

As for the maps themselves, I gotta say that last stretch in the plant was very tricky. I made it with maybe 3 seconds to spare, and I was kinda cheesing it with a mod that lets you moonjump anywhere. I really enjoyed it even if it's a bit more somber in tone than I usually like. Fine job, miro!

Also thank you for reminding me about Vinny's band. It's been years since I last listened to them.

Just a few moments ago, I was taking a look at songs I've listened to in the past, and I found Red Vox's "I'll Know" in the list. Naturally, it led me back here, as this is the first place I've heard it.

It's nice to see that you've responded to our comments, and hearing that there's a sequel planned is a pleasant surprise. And looking at Red Vox's catalog of music, I can't help but wonder if the song "Atom Bomb" will be used in the sequel. I probably don't have to explain my thought process there, haha. I look forward to seeing what comes next.

Thank you everyone for your feedback!! I am delighted that people are continuing to find this mod. I apologize for the confusing middle section with the heart pons; I should have made it more clear that they need to be collected to progress. And I also apologize for making the ending part too difficult for some players. There should be a way to bypass most of the balloons if you go to the immediate left, but that requires the time stop hat.

As this was my third level, I am pleased with my modding progress. This level took me over 120 hours and may be updated in the future.

And Mr. Man is right, Hat Kid has, indeed, locked the Ransans in a time loop of death. This is an important first point in the sequel to this mod. I have recently started writing the script for it, although I can make no promise of release date. I want to chill and take it easy so anticipate some much shorter maps in the Miro Modding Microcosm.

Again, thank you everyone!

Couldnt finish it ,
the last part was just terribly designed for a new player like me. Would have been better without the Time Limit. Sadly i have to Unsubscribe. Seemed like a funny map first , became promissing but the for me unfinishable map ruined it for me. 5/10

It was cool, confusing at the middle parts, but then got it through the ending in around an a hour but enjoyed. Nice story too!

Not sorry, if they say [NO CO-OP PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS NO CO-OP] I'm gonna play Co-op.

I didn't notice I was supposed to be collecting heart pons so I also got stuck on the part where you have to reach bow kid inside the electro pon. There was a message in the game about health pons being useful, but I thought that was just a tip for health and not part of the puzzle. But other than that I enjoyed it!

Hmm, where to start...? (Read comments from top to bottom, like with my comments on Psychiatry Depot.)

This mod was really well put together, and the storytelling definitely has a kind of flair to it that I've come to expect from you.
In the comments of Psychiatry Depot, your previous work, you mentioned the possibility of Hat Kid's backstory involving some sort of nuclear war. I loved getting to see those ideas fully fleshed out here. And that's not even mentioning the actual contents inside of the mods connecting together, something I wouldn't have noticed without a previous comment here pointing it out. You clearly put a lot of thought into these- the vocal tracks caught me off guard when I first heard them, too.

Y'know, the choice Hat Kid had to make is actually not too unrealistic. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, look up the Petrov incident of 1983. It's eerily similar. Both the choice and the aftermath are quite horrifying to think about, especially when put into a real life context. It's also quite disturbing to think about the lives everyone has to live- particularly those who work in the factories. Radiation is not to be taken lightly at all, even in this universe.
