I settled into a pattern of exploring each new habitat, learning what threats and possibilities it contained, then getting ready to push on once I felt my intrepid band of wobbling goofs was ready.įunny thing is, I never felt attached to those trebhums for long. The towers that halt the cylinder project a force field around them, a blue warning that can be crossed at the cost of toppling the tower and reawakening the cylinder.

The real reason to keep full stomachs is so you'll have enough stamina for the next frenzied dash ahead of the cylinder, risking the occasional glance back to see it munch over the huge predators who'd been chasing you not five minutes before. Only once did I run low enough on water to get a red-flash warning, so I ate some water-filled egg-like fruit nearby and that was that. After a point you get a stomach meter, and there's thirst to keep track of as well, but the savannah biome I've explored is full of mushrooms and flies and other things to eat. Though there's a rudimentary survival system in The Eternal Cylinder, it's not the kind of game to punish you with attrition. When I'm stuck the solution is always found by exploring a little further afield.
There's usually an objective right in front of me, whether it's a door that will only open for a certain number of trebhums or a darkened maze to explore by finding a mutation that makes one of my trebhums glow like a waddling lava lamp. And while that's true of the bigger picture of what the cylinder wants and why it even has servants, moment to moment I'm rarely confused for long. I haven't got a clue what's happening in The Eternal Cylinder, but it's a pleasant confusion.
