So I was doing one more Jup Hell run before getting sucked into Minecraft for like the next month or so and I found the Docking Bay

I don’t remember encountering it before and the music is both banging and concerning

With a freshened brain I have played more of Jupiter Hell and am greatly enjoying it, even more so now that I don’t have a headache lol.

I have come close to encountering what I can only assume is The Dog I remember Pikkish has mentioned/drawn unfortunately I died not to long after entering the Rift area. And the one time I survived was the run where there wasn’t a workshop :p

I have also found The Thomas’

So a few days back I tried out easy difficulty on Jupiter Hell while showing it off to some friends and…

Man easy sure do be easy

I made it all the way to Io and then got my shit wrecked by an acid Reaver/Reaper.

Europa’s music slaps and I’m deeply afraid of what medium is gonna be like once I finally get off Callisto. I also got lucky finding an ice claw that made me immune to cold stuff. But man Vampyr was a lifesaver on the harder parts.

How do I get more people to play jupiter hell. Going to have to start posting about it more regularly to get more people to play it.

You'd think sleeping in hell would be difficult, but it's not so bad when you've got a good, reliable guard dog to watch over you

I don't really know about jupiter hell, but jupiter guy with E1 and D5?

Allow me to tell you a few things about Jupiter Hell, anon. One of the things you will notice almost immediately when playing is that jupeguy has. A lot of dialogue. He will say things when you pick up new weapons, and he will say things when you arrive on certain levels, and he will even say things when you leave the game idling in the background. And almost all of the time, this dialogue is sarcastic, amused, or downright cocky.

Like, for example! When you encounter exalted enemies. Exalted enemies generally spawn in trios, and they are stronger than normal enemies, and they always have one to three extra perks, like armor, speed, or exploding on death. But jupeguy is entirely unfazed by this. "Ooh, a challenge," he'll brazenly laugh on sighting them. "Go ahead. Make my day."

Except.

Except for when you are in the final levels, at the gates of Hell itself,* where, unless you know what you're doing, half the enemies can kill you in two hits, and the other half have the health to sit and wait for you to die. Jupeguy isn't nearly so snarky, then. He recognizes, as you slink further into the unholy station, what dire straits he's in. And when he spots the glowing monstrosity of a reaver stalking through the door when he's only just survived a fight with a pair of medusae, his words aren't nearly so confident.

"Fuck," he'll hiss, more desperate than he'd like to admit. "Not now."

*he also uses the Serious dialogue lines in Purgatory, but considering how terrifying Purgatory is and also how very secret it is, you're probably not gonna go there in a normal run.
