Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a multiworld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Locations

Logic Difficulty

Logic difficulty. May become irrelevant if not a lot of items are added to the item pool. - **Strict**: Ensures everything is reachable as the original devs intended. For beginners or people who want to go out of logic with some tricks. - **Loose**: Reaching locations may require some level of mastery about the game's mechanics. - **Expert**: Locations expects players to be extremely good at the game with minimal amount of abilities. Hard to go out of logic. (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
