You can't lose in Dreams Don't Stop

I played pretty badly when I firstly played Dreams Don't Stop. I had an Idea that you can't lose in the last part of this level. I was right

[@wiiuandmii7619]

They pull this same trick in ADOFAI as well. You can't die on the last 5% of B-X if it's your first time through.

[@jay-virm]

You can't die on the last 5% of any official levels there, XI-X being an exception because it was made in the level editor which is why it's so different

if i could send videos here i would post that one video of someone abusing that mechanic at the end of t2-x

​@@jay-virm what you definitely can

[@wolfplay013]

the health bar resets during the "i'm stepping away"

[@doraexi]

no you genuinely cannot lose on the last part of dreams don't stop
once you get past the final cutscene you practically won

[@wolfplay013]

@@doraexi that's why you cannot lose, the health bar resets during the "i'm stepping away"

[@doraexi]

@@wolfplay013 you cannot lose because the game doesn't let you take damage even if you miss

[@wolfplay013]

@@doraexi you can literally see at the end that op literally took damage

[@doraexi]

​@@wolfplay013he didn't take damage, he missed but the game didn't deal dmg to him

[@NavyTerraTalks]

in actuality, the devs probably made it that way. here's my theory on it:
they made the health bar not just because it was the last bit of the song and they didn't want you to lose there, they actually portrayed the feelings of the players, regaining full momentum to reach that finish line.
but hey thats just a theory, A GAME THEORY

Exactamente eso👍🏻

[@Dooty-Doot]

I actually found this out incidentally, I was playing the level & was doing terribly; accidentally skipped the cutscene so I was trying to lose to rewatch it, but it didn't work

[@somerobloxdude3699]

HOW IS THIS SO RELATABLE??

[@penguincute3564]

that part is a memory... which is in the past, so it doesn't matter if you hit or not.

[@virusgames7409]

The baseball game in the beginning of that part is in present and I was, like, 3 misses away from losing. I missed more than 3 times in the baseball part

[@penguincute3564]

@@virusgames7409 also the death thing only happens if the ‘virus’ is present at that time…

[@redgreecr]

You only cant lose on this part because... I have lost when getting the checkpoint.

What a shame 😊

[@glowingfox704]

You can lose early on, but he doesn't die, he just says: "It's pointless, I'll never recover."

[@virusgames7409]

You can't lose on the last part of the level

[@sophieheart2707]

The baseball hero Lives go on…

[@Wildspeck]

I noticed that health bar my first time through and right that this might be the case

[@user-ht5rf9eo1y]

i think devs made it because the last part is really hard because of speed

[@SmolGhost13]

i swear i've died here before but maybe not

[@electronic_dude4970]

that aint gonna be a perfect tho 💀

[@Cluzzy32]

I think this is done on purpose (just look at the song name)

[@virusgames7409]

Yeah, I think not being able to lose supports the mood of this part of the level

[@shadowstorm_plays]

immortal flaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmeeees
nah lmao

[@Hypernova386]

I think you can die on that part once you have beaten that level before, because i died on it too many times :|

[@virusgames7409]

I have beaten the level several times, yet I recorded this [I even recorded not dying on this part twice]. You cannot die on this part. Maybe you encountered a bug or something like that.
