What Happens if you run out of ALL of your CQ Points in the Octo Expansion

I was curious what happens cause I'm really bad at this. I didnt think they would lock you out but I didn't think THAT would happen.

So an update to this, you can pay it back. If you don't pay it back then you can't use the vending machine in the lobby. Outside of that, nothing else changes.

If you don't pay back you can't use that blue vending machine capn cuttlefish will say "you owe a debt and here you are on a shopping spree"

Just curious...What happens when you lose all your CQ points...on the first mission. You know, the mission before you're introduced to Pearl and Marina.

It's a Sponge Bob reference when you think about it "Pearl Daddy's money"

[splashything]

Ooooh, that music is unsettling. The way I got under 100 CQ points was by getting exactly 15000 and then spending all of it on the vending machine. I’m glad I didn’t go the “game over” way.

Pearl is a 21-year-old superstar idol. Why can't she just give you her own money?

[samufinland]

When I got all the Meme Cakes, I had like 40, 000 points so I never ran into this, would've been like 85, 000 if I hadn't accidentally used 15, 000 on the prize machine and lost like 20, 000 on Girl Power Station

[cantirk]

Just looking at that game over horrified me, thinking you would have to start from the beginning

[Bridgett]

You ran out of c.q points






TEST FAILED

[ZaiDrizzleDrop]

So like, I was wondering What happens if you DONT pay pearl back ever? Something has to happen otherwise owing a debt to her would be pointless, can you find out for me?

[reece]

I'm genuinely surprised some people ran out of points in the Expansion. It was super generous at giving you more than enough points and the levels were average difficulty for the most part.

[gabrielgiraodearaujo]

i was scared that i would have to start from the beggining if i lost all my points

[Monochromystii]

You can farm CQ Points at Swass 8 ball station. you get 4 balls. if the third is not to your liking, shoot it to knock it out of the hole. There is still a possibility that balls will fly out of the map, giving a TEST FAILED.

Thank you for making a game that I can use to teach my kids on how to be responsible with money Nintendo. It sucks that so many games these days expect you to blow up your wallet on micro-transactions. They pile up. You don't want to go in the red. It doesn't even let you shrug off the fact you have debt in this game. I mean I do find the c q points concept kind of gauche, but it's a good life lesson.
I mean games when i was a kid, before they gave you the option to skip levels, they taught you perseverance. I'm worried those app games these days don't teach kids the same thing. They only teach them that you can always buy your way out of shit.

Then we have the octo expansion that teaches you what happens if you keep trying to buy your way out of shit.

[JOVAHKN]

This games constantly has me anxious about points, I'm at 18k but I still worry every new level cuz it could be too hard that I'll go broke.

[MichaelOKeefe]

Now the reason why you get 3, 000 is that the stations with the highest test fee is the boss battles which cost 3000.

[joeski]

you cant fail anymore... *t e s t   f a i l e d*

I ended up 22000 in debt to Pearl because of Girl Power Station.
Gosh that was the worst challenge out of the whole expansion.

[mizuukiiiii]

this happened to me MULTIPLE times on girl power station. i'm suprised that it hasn't happened to some people...

pretty sure by the time i had completed every level i was about ~13000 in debt. luckily the points cq gave me along with the ones i had were enough to pay off my debt so i could suffer in the hell that is inner agent 3

[tabbiya]

I didn't need a video to explain this. I'm bad enough to know on my own

[AlyCatVR]

That's really cool how they implemented that and it's hilarious that Pearl just straight up steals from her dad with no problems
