Exactly. Personally, I'm torn between the two.
Toriel and Sans are really cute together, but Asgore is so nice that I like to think he and Toriel reconciled.

For me, it's either Onion-san or Burgerpants. Onion-san is just the saddest little champ and Burgerpants is... complex. The little vignette between (any run spoiler, I guess???)
the latter and Catty and Bratty

I completely agree, and I think it's pretty much because the ruins have been barely changed since the demo from 2 years ago. The improvement from the ruins to rest of the game is pretty nice.
edit: Colored switch puzzle was pretty easy if you read the sign, yeah. It's just the amount of walking you have to do.
I'll always remember that you remembered!
Ruins puzzles were easy as hell. Including the colored switch one.

Colored switch one just required reading the sign in the first room.
Yep.
The last room had two switches behind pillars. I probably missed a clue, but it felt so 50/50 and picking the wrong one restarted the whole puzzle.

The switches were in the same positions in every room, just rotated around like the first room tells you. You need to hit the switch that that room tells you to hit. There is no guessing.
I don't think anyone is saying they're difficult, just trivial. The one rock pushing gag is fun, though. My problem with the hole puzzle is, like someone else pointed out, the fail state just gives you more walking to do even after you understand the puzzle. It's not punishing in a novel or interesting way.
(guys, people complaining about the quality of a puzzle probably do not need the puzzle explained for them; they got it)

That's probably the best puzzle in the game because it has a pretty elegant but not immediately obvious solution.

But yeah, let it be a lesson: reading hints on the walls is helpful.
I can't decide either. My heart goes out to
Asgore
commit a few atrocities
Yeah, maybe that's why it feels so anomalous?
That would make Sans by extension skeleton dad and I cannot picture that.
this is seriously great. I want to see more covers like this.
How's that even a ship? lmao
Since it's basically like Toriel dumps the king for him in the true pacifist anyway
You serious?
Yes?

The combat is most definitely part of the appeal of this game. It was lovely.
Muffet is the most under-rated battle.

Actually I got that immediately! I wasn't really stumped by any of the puzzles in the game though. lol
No, before the edit I thought he was saying that it didn't make sense or something lol
Misunderstanding
I edited the post pretty immediately so I was like "um ok I just woke up what?"

To be honest, i can't picture Toriel seeing Sans as anything other than one of "her children", they're very cute together but in a mom-son way, i dunno, maybe my perception is biased because i bounce bad puns with my old man like Sans and Toriel do, so it's easier for me to picture them as a child-parent relationship.
Doesn't mean i think Toriel should forgive goatdad, but ignoring that whole "killed six people, some of them children" issue, Asgore seems like a nice man.

I spent an insane amount of time in that one, then i almost die of embarrassment when i figured it out.
tbh I don't even think Asgore has any chance left with Toriel in any scenario. She pretty much hates the dude.
Sans and Toriel had basically already fallen in love with each other from across the door. She even sat up to write jokes. And he spared the life of a dangerous human on her word alone
Plus if you flirt with AND call Toriel mother Toriel makes fun of Frisk while actively flirting with Sans. I don't think the two see each other as mom-son

Ah, yeah, that can happen. I was just a bit confused, haha.
For Sans/Toriel, I think what's interesting about the two is that...
Neutral Run:
...Sans goes to stay with Toriel on every Neutral ending where she doesn't become ruler, although considering all endings where he does involve Papyrus being dead, he might just feel lonely..

I think the interesting thing about #bonedad shipping is that
sans is probably older than Toriel or if not pretty close

What's amazing about Toriel is that I literally cannot even conceive of and imagine her telling a dirty joke.
Same here.
I guess part of why i can't see this is because as i see it, the characters have very defined roles like
Toriel -> Mom
Sans -> Big brother
watching over you and protecting you
Undyne -> Cool big sis/ badass friend
Alphys -> Nerd Friend
Asgore -> Dad
Asriel -> lil brother
Asriel -> lil brother
So i just can't see
Toriel and Sans dating

Just finished it for the first time, amazing game and what an ending... I
Best side character for me was the little yellow kid who followed you and kept tripping over themselves. Really cute little storyline there.
didn't kill anyone and spared Flowey at the end - he said that now I have to become friends with Alphys to free myself, so I reset the game and started new, and he re-iterated at the beginning that I need to become friends with Alphys. Does this mean I now have to do another full pacifist run (this time presumably with a new Alphys quest?) to get the true ending?

heh, you didn't have to
reset unfortunately. you just had to reload before fighting asgore and finish a little sidequest involving alphys, and then return to the asgore fight to see the true end

Oh no, what?! Thanks for the quick reply, but god dammit :lol
Am I in the minority of not picking up on that? Because that seems really obscure... Reloading the game took me back to the last checkpoint outside the throne room, so no indication that I should be using that world state to do anything. Urrrggh.
So what should I do now do you think, youtube the true pacifist ending and go for a full Genocide play through?

Well,
the True Pacifist ending is amazing, so you definitely need to see it somehow, definitely before you do the Genocide run
YO!
(yes, i know the sprite actually doesnt have a bow in game, and those are the kid's spikes, but i couldn't help myself)

Yeah, just watched it. Really cool, this game is something special alright.
Also to help with the weird 4th wall breaking freakiness - my name is Alex, and the character name on the youtube vid I was watching was called 'Frisk', but then right at the end of Flowey's monologue about the player now having the power to reset everything, he closes with 'Well, that's all. See you later... Alex.' BOOM, end. Don't know what was going on there, but it's so appropriately unnerving, as if that fucking flower reached across time and space to send me that message!
D'awww
Spoilers for true Ending, if you only watched the ending you missed this because you didn't do the sidequest and victory lap!
Frisk is the name of the character you play as, not the character you enter the name for, but when flowey says "see you later Alex" he's actually adressing you, the player.
Still cute tho

Nah, I played through a second time because I didn't know either. It's nice to see
some subtle differences throughout the game
I don't have the link on hand, but Toby confirmed he's working on it. In the meantime he asks that folks don't sell unofficial stuff.

Ehh, there was Shovel Knight shirts n' such within a month or two of it's release. Granted that had a lot to do with how well received that was across multiple platforms, but I can see Undertale getting some relatively soon-ish. I know Toby has stated he had some ideas he wanted to get rolling regarding merchandise.
