Journey of the Prairie King is a game playable on the arcade machine in The Saloon. Abigail also possesses a console version of the game that she will play with you during an event once you have raised your relationship level with her. Random elements of the game are not affected by luck[1].
Please note that none of the powerups or enemies are referenced by any name in-game, so they have been named by members of the community.
Gameplay Mechanics
Gameplay consists of a top-down shooter, resembling "twin-stick" shooters. WASD moves the character and ↑←↓→ shoots. Shots can also be fired diagonally by combining two fire keys.
Waves of enemies appear from the edges of the screen and move towards you, while a timer bar at the top of the screen ticks down. Your character has no health bar and will be killed by any enemy or projectile that touches him. You start off with 3x lives, although more can be collected during gameplay. Losing all your lives results in a Game Over. Once the timer bar depletes, enemies will stop appearing, and once you've disposed of the rest of them, you can move to the next area. Enemies will sometimes drop powerups and coins upon being killed. Powerups are stored in the slot in the top-left, unless the slot already contains an item, in which case it will be consumed on pickup. Stored powerups are activated with space and can greatly turn the tide of gameplay, allowing you to get out of precarious situations. Every few levels (see levels), once you have cleared the area, a travelling merchant will present three upgrades to purchase. Only one upgrade can be bought per visit. Each stage ends in a boss fight, where the boss has a large amount of health and shoots bullets at you.
Powerups
Upgrades
Upgrades are bought with coins dropped from enemies, which come in and denominations, the coins being very rare. You can only buy items in descending order of the vendor slot.
Enemies
Bosses
Levels
To beat the game you have to play 3 stages with 5 areas, totaling 15 areas. The last area of each stage is a boss encounter.
Trivia
- Once the player finds enough lost books, a book will be available in the northern end of the library that reads,
"Journey of the Prairie King -- The Smash Hit Video Game! Did you know? Anyone who beats ' Journey of the Prairie King' is automatically entered into a drawing for a special prize! Did you know? The developer has stated that the protagonist is based on a real-life character... A true cowboy hero from a prairie-island in the Gem Sea!"
- There is a bug in the game that prevents player progression under certain circumstances: If the nuke power-up is used during the first boss fight, the enemy will vanish from the screen but the stage will not end. Also occurs with the Tombstone power up and the last boss. This situation can be escaped from by hitting esc, which will close the game and return you to The Saloon.
