He's pretty obviously joking about that part.

It was a joke tying in to a previous tweet about his game being rated higher than MGS5 he said something like "i'll enjoy the 5 minutes in which a single shitty dog [that is, himself] topped Hideo Kojima", later that day Undertale got rated zero by the sockpuppets and he joked about it being kojima.
Thanks, I understood you don't have to kill everything, I was getting hung up on the specific mechanics of it however.
Dodge enemy attacks with WASD or the analog stick. Sparing enemies results in no level gains or increased attack/defence but you can still buy stuff from stores since you will gain gold. Sleeping at an Inn will restore your health above maximum when you're very low level, and some items will up your stats during battle.
That's basically all I can think of for mechanics.
Never leave a Jerry until last to be spared. He'll run away if you do.

Just finished this, and wow- it's probably my favorite game this year (
).
primarily due to my boy Papyrus

I really love the item shops in this game.
That's intentional, Toby used to make Earthbound Hacks (Most notably, the Halloween Hack), then moved on to work with Andrew Hussie on Homestuck (which is Earthbound inspired and even has an Easter Egg where the Earthbound Crew appears in one of their interactive pages), then moved on to make his own game, Undertale.
(...which is Earthbound inspired, so you can kinda guess he throws in some references to it too)
Finished the full pacifist ending last night, boy what a great game. Now to start from the beginning and kill everyone!
One question first:
One question first:
What's the deal with the locked door in the snowy mountain area? I even went back to try during the ending and there's still nothing. Is that only involved in a genocide run or did I just completely miss some secret?
As Kuga said, it's
a relatively minor easter egg room if you can get it open
it's an entrance to the ruins through which Sans would talk to Toriel. And by talk, I mean 'tell bad knock-knock jokes'.
Super sad spoiler: if you kill only Toriel in a neutral run, Sans tells you in his phonecall that the voice behind the door hasn't been there lately...

Plot stuff:
I was under the impression that the ruins door Sans talked to Toriel through was the door Frisk exits the ruins from - especially since the player encounters Sans only a couple screens away from that spot. Maybe it is the other door, though? I never really considered an alternate ruins exit.
Geeettttttt dunked on!
Sorry!
The music fills you with determination.

With enough determination and Legendary Heroes, you can make it!
The strategy I use is
when you get him to the halfway point where he offers you to spare him, use your healing items to max your health again. With enough tries, you'll work out his patterns. Then the only real challenge is knowing what to expect out of his 2nd-to-last attack.
Here we go
I can get up to
just after fakes trying to spare me
all the dragon heads are flying around shooting and I die
You also see
Sans hanging around the entrance to the second door, at least the very first time you head through that area. He does his mildly creepy warp-to-the-other-side-of-the-screen trick there.
Could go either way. The first door does make sense from the perspective of Toriel being there to tell him about you; admittedly she didn't have much time to go visit some other secret ruins exit after meeting you. But I always associated the second door strongly with Sans due to encountering him there.

Does choosing "Devour" on a Vegetoid count as a kill? I've never tried it, but it seems like an ACT command that could kill something, just logically. (no spoiler tags because it's a very early enemy)
EDIT: also a friend of mine made this based on some battle text that I found hilarious for some reason
Huh, I always left Jerry until last (since he doesn't attack you), and he never ran away.
Not sure if that's a spoiler or not so I'm just being safe idk.
Jerry's a fairly early enemy.
He always ran away from me if I left him till last. If he gets a turn to attack he'd think everyone ditched him and then leave. Polar opposite to the "ditch" ACT command.

I've never had him run from me on either ends of my runs.

what if you do a kill everything but jerry run
that's gotta be even worse than a genocide run

He always ran on me until I started sparing him first instead of last. Although he didn't run on my genocide run because I
made him have a bad time
This is too cute. I couldn't lie to her. I had to tell her
that it's real
What version are you playing? i think someone mentioned the mac version doesnt, but the PC version (which i played) does, it even has pad support, funnily enough, Undertale basically maps your game pads to the keyboard keys, i have been thinking of running undertale while i play shovel knight to be able to use my street fighter pad.

Oh gods, I just replayed the Undyne fight last night...that explains why
Undyne was doing so many typical "anime moves". Does Undyne also genuinely think that anime is a representation of a bout between two warriors?

The Windows version I bought off the Undertale site. I can boot up the game, load it. The in game menu shows nada.
Alphys told her all her Anime and Manga are "historical documents" about the human world, this is also why she mentions during the fight that Alphys told her all about the humans and their cool robots, but she still would kill you
That's strange, i got the Steam version from a friend and it gives me the option to adjust the controls in the title screen, but it would be weird that only the Steam version did that.
Only if you play with a controller. If you do have a 360 controller or a generic pad connected, it'll show you a controller settings menu whenever you start the game.
Sadly there's no way of adjusting the controls on keyboard however.

Yeah, I have the Steam version too so that's no biggie. This is what it looks like on the title screen of the Windows version. Hitting Z or Enter takes you straight to Toriel in the chair and your save file. It says it's v1.00. Interesting tidbit for those of you who want to play the Steamless version.
Edit: Just say Dunkley's post. Thanks for the info! That's sort of a pain, using the keyboard default is definitely a hand-crampy affair.
I figured you might just mean the regular keyboard controls, and yeah they're not that good, especially if you have a QWERTZ keyboard.
By the way it says v1.00 on the Steam version too:
