Journey of the Prairie King is a SmashTV-style minigame that can be played on one of the arcade machines in The Stardrop Saloon. Beating the game will award you with an arcade machine to put in your house, allowing you to play the game there as well. Abigail also possesses a console version of the game that she will play with you during an event once you have raised your friendship 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.
Геймплей
«Путешествие Короля Прерий» — это шутер с видом сверху, напоминающий "twin-stick" шутеры вроде Smash TV. Для перемещения персонажа используются клавиши WASD, а для стрельбы — клавиши ↑←↓→. Стрелять и перемещаться по диагонали можно, нажимая две клавиши одновременно (например, при нажатии W и A персонаж переместится влево вверх по диагонали).
Вы начинаете игру с четырьмя жизнями (количество жизней можно увидеть в левом верхнем углу экрана, в начале игры это x3). При контакте с врагом или вражеской пулей ваш персонаж сразу же погибает. После потери последней жизни (счетчик в углу экрана меняется с х0 на х-1) игра заканчивается. In each level, a timer bar counts down at the top of the screen while waves of enemies appear from the edges of the screen and move towards you. Enemies stop spawning when the timer bar has counted down all the way, and the level is completed when all enemies are defeated, allowing you to move to the next area.
Enemies will sometimes drop powerups, coins and extra lives upon being killed. You can hold one powerup at a time, stored in a slot in the top-left, and you can activate this powerup at any time by pressing Space. If you pick up another powerup while holding onto one, the new powerup is consumed immediately. Powerups last only for a short time.
Each stage ends in a boss fight, where the boss has a large amount of health and shoots bullets at you.
Items Dropped by Enemies
| Вид | Название | Описание |
|---|---|---|
|
1 монета | Увеличивает количество монет на 1. |
|
5 монет | Увеличивает количество монет на 5. Встречается крайне редко. |
|
Дополнительная жизнь | Даёт одну дополнительную жизнь. |
|
Кофе | Увеличивает скорость перемещения персонажа. |
|
Heavy Machine Gun | Значительно увеличивает скорострельность. |
|
Nuke | Убивает всех врагов на экране. Убитые таким образом враги не дают предметов. |
|
Дробовик | Персонаж стреляет тремя расходящимися конусом пулями вместо одной. Незначительно снижает скорострельность. |
|
Дымовая шашка | Телепортирует персонажа в случайно выбранный участок игрового экрана и скрывает его. Пока персонаж скрыт, враги стоят на месте с вопросительными знаками над головой. Появление новых врагов не прекращается, однако они замирают сразу после появления. |
|
Значок шерифа | Increases your fire rate, increases your movement speed, and causes you to fire in a cone. Effectively combines the machine gun, shotgun and coffee into one convenient, deadly pickup. However, fire-rate and movement speed bonuses are slightly lower than from coffee/machine gun. With max boots and gun, the bonuses given from this item are only minimal. |
|
Надгробие | A bolt of lightning strikes your character, turning you into a zombie for a brief amount of time. You gain movement speed and kill on contact, enemies flee from you, and a brief music clip plays. This form lasts as long as the music plays. You can still shoot as per usual in this form. (Note: This powerup does not protect you from bullets fired by bosses.) |
|
Колесо | Your shots fire in 8 directions at once. |
Улучшения
После окончания некоторых уровней появляется торговец. Он предлагает вам три улучшения, которые можно купить за собранные с врагов монеты (см. выше). У торговца можно приобрести только один предмет. Предметы в каждом из слотов всегда появляются по порядку: если приобрести первый предмет из слота, при следующем появлении торговца увидите второй и т.д. (например, чтобы купить дополнительную жизнь из первого слота, нужно сначала купить оба улучшения обуви).
Торговец появляется в конце каждого второго уровня: 1-2, 1-4, 2-1, 2-3, 3-1 и 3-3.

Враги
| Вид | Название | ОЗ | Описание | Уровни |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Orc | 1 | The weakest enemy. Walks slowly towards the player, often spawning in large numbers. | Stage 1 (areas 1-4) |
|
Spikeball | 2 while active, 6 while deployed | Enters the area, walks to a random location, and deploys into an armored spikeball. While they can kill the player, whether deployed or undeployed, it can be beneficial to leave some around for crowd control, as they block enemy movement. If time has run out and the only remaining enemies are spikeballs, they will die in one hit. | Stage 1 (areas 2-4) |
|
Ogre | 3 | Moves slowly, but soaks up damage. Destroys spikeballs on contact. | Stage 1 (areas 3-4), Stage 2 (areas 1-3) |
|
Mushroom | 2 | Moves quickly, running as fast as a player without speed upgrades. | Stage 2 (areas 1-3) |
|
Pixie | 1 | The first flying enemy. Can spawn anywhere on the perimeter and fly towards the player. Can also fly over obstacles. | Stage 2 (areas 1-3) |
|
Mummy | 6 | Moves slowly and soaks up a lot of damage. Spawns in large hordes. | Stage 3 (areas 1-3) |
|
Imp | 3 | A flying enemy that can spawn anywhere on the perimeter, seeking the player. Can fly over obstacles and is not distracted by the Bear or deterred by the Tombstone powerup. | Stage 3 (areas 1-3) |
Friendlies
| Image | Name | HP | Description | Appears in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Bear | ∞ | Distracts enemies, drawing them towards it and killing them on impact. Does not harm the player and cannot be killed by the player. Disappears after it has fully crossed the screen.
If you are nice enough to them, they might carry you on a parade float upon your victory against a boss. |

Bosses
| Image | Name | HP | Description | Appears in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Cowboy | Both fights with the cowboy take place in open fields with little cover. The player and cowboy are separated by a ravine/river, which can only be crossed with a lucky smoke bomb. Although the cowboy can take quite a few bullets, you can still only take one before dying, requiring proficient evasion. The cowboy will run out of cover and shoot a volley of bullets upwards (sometimes matching your movements) before retreating back to cover. He often pauses behind cover, and sometimes outside of cover, allowing you to get some easy shots in. Upon dying, the boss drops an extra life, a bridge appears crossing the river, and a pickup appears allowing you to travel to the next stage. | Stage 1 (area 5), Stage 2 (area 4) | |
|
Fector | Fector is the final boss and is significantly more difficult than the Cowboy. You can move anywhere on the screen in this stage, but Fector also moves around freely and can fire directly at you, as well as firing in eight directions (as with the Wheel powerup). As his health decreases, he starts summoning enemies to attack you and shield himself. Beating Fector finishes the Journey of the Prairie King game. | Stage 3 (area 4) |

Hard Mode
As of Update 1.1, once you have beaten Journey of the Prairie King, you have the option to start over in a harder mode. You keep all of your upgrades and coins from before, but lives reset to the default "x3". Enemies spawn in greater numbers, some of them move faster, and they each have at least one extra hit point. Additionally, Imps now attack you in every level except boss stages, and extra lives drop far less often.
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.
- Having both the wheel and shotgun powerup at the same time will result in you shooting a wheel of shotgun rounds (24 directions), which usually shreds everything in sight very quickly.
- Zoom level also influences the portion of screen the arcade game takes up. Be sure to check this setting before playing.
