Terrain

Animals

Frog

 

The frog is a non-hostile animal that acts as a defensive turret and will shooting at spiders and webs in an area around it. If the frog is scared (by players sprinting or running near it), the frog will hop to a location 2-3 tiles away until it is not near a player. Players can 'sneak' by a frog by slowly walking by in order to prevent it from moving so they the player can pick it up. The frog will shoot at spiders and webs while it is picked up.

Frogs are milkable, their milk gives 5 Torch cartridges for 15 seconds.

Threats

Spider

 

The spider is a hostile animal that walks around and places spiderwebs behind itself as it moves. Spiderwebs can be broken instantly with any tool, or be set on fire with the Torch cartridge. If a spiderweb is set on fire, the fire will spread to nearby spiderwebs and spiders. A Spider is alerted to any player that walks in it's web and will attack the player if they get close enough. If the player is attacked by the spider, the spider will be destroyed and the player will get stuck in a gooey cube for a few seconds which prevents their movements. The player can escape by wiggling around to get out of the goo.

Mushroom

 

Mushrooms are idle terrain elements that, when hit with a tool, will jump towards the player and after some delay, will explode in a 5x5 radius around the mushroom. This explosion will kill any players in the radius, as well as clear out any resources. The explosion will also trigger other mushrooms within the radius to explode, causing a chain reaction. It is recommended that players hit the mushroom with a tool and then immediately dash away to avoid being killed by the Mushroom's explosion.

Boss Fight

Spider Queen

 

The spider queen is Boxcar Bayou's boss fight. During this fight, a spider crawls across the top of the level and will periodically attempt to snare the players in an entanglement of webs. The players can avoid getting trapped in the spider's webs if they do not move while the spider is searching for players. If a player moves while the spider is hunting, a mass of spiderwebs will be shot out in an area around the player and the player will get trapped in goo and be unable to move. As the players get closer to the end of the level, the Spider Queen will hunt more often, so it is not a bad idea to try to finish this level as fast as possible once you come close to the end.
