User coins

[edit | edit source]

Abducted contains a single user coin.

  • At 10%, there is a screen with the phrase 'ALIENS ARE REAL!!!' displayed, next to a vertical screen with a randomly generated 3-digit number. This number ranges from 0 to 999 inclusive and serves as the player's target score. The target score changes with every attempt.
  • When the player reaches the rhythm game at 34%, they must score points exactly equal to their target score. Once accomplished, the player must make a light jump as the robot at 64% to descend below the main route at 65% and approach a yellow gravity portal. If the player has not achieved the exact target score, an alien construction worker will raise the portal out of reach, continuing the level as normal. Otherwise, the player flips gravity, allowing them to enter a set of minecarts while upside down as the UFO, leading to the coin.
    • If the target score is not exactly achieved, the construction worker will state that the player has not 'got the nummers right', before giving the hint that 'Aliens are real'. It refers to the large screen at 10%.
    • If the player attempts to enter the minecarts without flipping gravity, a series of red pads above them will cause the player to crash.
