The Weird Forest is an area made accessible from a hole in the Inversed Retro Dungeon after killing every slime.
Features
This world features a similar scrolling system to the one seen in Retro Dungeon which connects seven different screens with each other. Starting from the screen Muma arrives at from Inversed Retro Dungeon and going up, these screens contain:
- Many fractal-like trees and a hole in the middle, which drops Muma into Sands of Time.
- Patches of grass that will all say "MUMA" except for one of them which says "ROPE" instead. Going up through the middle of the ROPE's O will take Muma to the Great Rope.
- Trees and a house in the middle. Going into the house will take Muma to a house in Micro World.
- 8 houses with no doors. If the random teleporter to R-Maze is active in this world, it will be present in the middle of this screen.
- Gravestones in a spiral pattern. Interacting with the slightly bigger tombstone seen in the middle of the spiral will display the numbers "0, 14, 21 ,33, 38, 80, 84". This is the solution to the math problem found in Diophantus' epitaph.[1]
- Trees and three ponds of water, with Coin #13 in the middle of the screen.
- Five small mountains that have trees on them.
Directions
Memory Room → First Steps → Retro Dungeon → Weird Forest
Trivia
- There are screenshots of 3 older versions of this world before v14.0 from when this was a part of a different game Hellper was working on. They originate from the screenshots of the week section on the French RPG Maker forums.
- In screenshot #661, the world is gray instead and there are the fractal-like trees present with some little creatures that are not currently present in the world. They are still present in the CharSet folder of the game.
- In screenshot #662, the world is now a lighter shade of gray with structuring that looks like a combination of the current mountains screen and the screen with 8 houses on it. The walls of the mountains are also made up of what is now the water texture instead.
- In screenshot #680, the world now has the tan coloring and there are light blue crystal structures. These exist still in the tileset of the world but are unused.
- This world was originally only enterable through Sands Of Time, with the connection to Micro World being added in v15.0 and the connection to Inversed Retro Dungeon being added in v30.3.
- The connection to Great Rope was added in v30.1, with one of the "MUMA" screens being replaced with "ROPE" to add it.
- The tombstone that displays a number sequence used to display it through an interactable text box before v30.1.
- Until v30.1, this world's camera was normal and did not have a fixed camera mechanic like Retro Dungeon did. When the fixed camera was originally implemented it just faded in and out when changing screens, with the scrolling between screens being implemented in v30.4.
- The random teleporter to R-Maze was added in v31.1.
- The soundtrack for this world used a different soundfont before v32.1 that had much lower quality instruments.
