i fear my computer is too slow for transporting the plant ooze. but i've found a warp glitch while clenching in the woods. and found myself at the home of the coyotes. i thought this time i had it too... poor Rascal, having to go back to the plants for thirds? fourth? maye he should have taken some tallies.
and of course my save was overwritten, too. T_T
edit: the solution is to not just mash space as fast possible, but do it in a rhythm.
button mashing is and has always been the worst possible game mechanic.
