When I saw that penny arcade comic I immediately tried it and I was actually extremely happy it didn' work
This is like throwing a cheeseburger in the toilet and then saying you finished it without having to do the "work" of eating it. Yeah, you did, but what was the point then? I'd rather have a tasty burger.
Mmm, burgers.
Mmm, burgers.
I discovered this already on accident when the game suggested "I WIN" when it didn't understand something else I wrote, when I clicked it it spawned a starite which made me freaking lawl. Picking it up didn't make clear the level though which was actually a tiny bit disappointing.
I'm not surprised. When you have billions of combinations, some are going to slip through QA. *shrug*
I'm sure i tried this, it was like the second thing i did and it didn't work. Hmm, maybe i mispelt it.
Hah, I did notice that spawning a bag and using it to pick up things that needed to be transported safely was a surefire way to go, assuming Max could safely walk about, but this certainly takes that to the limit.
But to get a gold star on each level you'll have to be a tad more clever than this exploit.

You know if you think about it this is well within the limits of the game. It's all about thinking of ways to solve puzzles and that is indeed one way, it's just kind of a cheap way albeit clever.
I will try not to resort to this.
@CrocBox: It is clever, the first time you do it. It is ridiculous the tenth time.

It seems like you guys are saying that if you don't beat the level and get the starite in a creative or cool way, you didn't "properly" beat the level.
Why have levels in the first place? This game seems like one big "sandbox", it seems like the devs didn't even need to add the levels.

After i tried "epic fail" it was only natural to try "epic win". It did bring the star, but that could be just "Win" that the engine reconize. And yeah, it don't end the level.

Well firstly it's being cheap doing the same thing many times, and secondly, the game actually scores you based on how creative you are.

the cheapest one i found was on the level where the caveman wants a dino-omelet, i typed dino egg instead of dealing with the t-rex and the possibility of the preset egg hatching
Handcuffed to heaven? So you're telling me you got a cop beating someone triple-perfect in Street Fighter while a blonde and brunette bring you a sandwich and beer while the redhead and the asian chick are busy cleaning your joystick with their tongues?
Yep. Lucky guy.

Time to play "Who didn't read the post"...
Anyway, its clever, for sure. But I like the way Topher said it. Its about the journey, noob.

Thats weird, I haven't gotten too far into the game yet, but I wouldn't think that the starite would be able to be grabbed by anyone other than Maxwell. Doesn't seem to be any reason to allow anything else.
Yeah, Topher's metaphor is perfect. I guess if you want to "win" this way, go for it, but I'd rather have the fun of trying to figure out an actual solution.
Heh, "I Win" spawns a fake starite too.
Pretty much done with the game after beating the last action level using 1 item (24 under par...). Just... I dunno. It seems like they focused more on making sure they had a ton of shit, rather than the ton of shit working properly. I was especially disappointed at the level where you had to "heist" and not kill security guards, where I tried a bunch of different stuff like knocking the guards out or trying to spawn invisibility cloak or smoke bombs... (smoke "BOMB" killed the guards... heh. And Invisibility potion = just potion). Ended up beating it by getting frustrated, making a jetpack, and just brute forcing my way through the whole level, security guards, cameras etc and just grabbing the starite.

It doesn't even work, so there is no point to even consider it a cheat. Sure a starite appears, but it's not the levels starite so it doesn't even count. It just becomes a pointless item at that point and you're still required to get the original.

No, the Penny Arcade thing doesn't work, but the exploit he links to on GameFAQs does. That's what I was talking about.
