Subject: The Unfair Platformer - for the sadist in you...

Written By: gumbypiz on 02/20/08 at 12:51 am

Now I know that deep down inside most gamers have a sadistic streak within them.

They continuously put themselves through games and levels of games with a level of determination (and frustration) that wouldn't normally be tolerated.

So heres one for you: The Unfair Platformer

Think you mastered all the Mario games, think you have all side scrollers worked out? Then try this, I'd bet you don't get through the first level with any hair left on your head (after pulling out so much of it). This game is so damn hard and ridiculously UNFAIR its almost criminal.

Can't wait to meet the sick bas***d who thought this one up, hope I don't' meet him in a dark alleyway. :D

Oh, and yes, they did steal the background music from Sonic the Hedgehog, one of the few things that I don't mind about this game.

Ha ha, it took me about 40 deaths to get to the end of the level. Very clever stuff.

yeah, i like it. it's totally underhanded and it makes you mad, and that's how computer games get addictive, when you start wanting to get revenge on em. :o

131 lives later im at the first checkpoint on the second level. the solution to the pyramid thing is quite clever!

164 lives to get to the end of level 3. :o

221 lives to get level 4. 8)

okay, got to level 7. but the loss of life has been rather severe.

Wha?  :o

Amazing, I just didn't have the determination to continue with this game. If I wanted frustration, I can have that driving to work in traffic, or look at my bank account balance, don't need it in a game.  ;)

Congratulations on finishing up this game, look around on the net, there are some modded Mario games like this that are even harder, and even more evil than this!

Most Brutal Super Mario Mod EVER!

What is so frustrating about the modded Mario games is that most of us are soo familiar with the original that we think we know all the ins and outs of the game. The mods take advantage of this and completely mess with your head and even tease you because of your familiarity with the Mario games!

it was a cool game. the thing with it is, it's actually sorta gentle with its players. it does a lot of unfair things to you and plays tricks, but a. you can die as many times as you want with no consequence, and 2. the levels are actually very short. really it's a puzzle solving game, and each level you only have to solve two or three puzzles. i really thought it was a cool game, and i recommend people with some spare time go ahead and bang your head against it cuz it gives you some fun ones but it's never as unreasonable as it seems.

Congratulations, Tia!

Did you get a snappy little end-of-game sequence or did it just say 'well done'?

snappy sequence. it gives you a little pasture you can jump around in and says "congratulations on solving the game. i hope you didn't get too mad." :D

Ah wow, that is well class. You must have had a lot of patience to get to the end. I went right off it after starting level 2, lol.

A bit like me with 'Dead Rising' on the Xbox 360. There were some prison psychopaths on a jeep in the mall courtyard tearing the place up. As soon as I realised I could kill them, I made sure I had a shotgun on hand to make short work of them. :)

How do you get this game to start?

I'm wondering if it's what I think it is.

Edit: Nevermind, I refreshed it... it's working now.

It's not the same game, but it definetly has the same premise as the other one... I actually have watched some other game which some people call "Cat Mario" on youtube, which as I stated has the same premise as this one.
