Most Brutal Metal Scream 2012 (you'll never guess which year i made this)

the levels where i was able to play the game were actually decently fun. the issue is i have to clarify that statement with "where i was able to play"

also a not insignificant amount of the game is just broken. rails in particular are a real gamble on whether you're gonna land on em or clip straight through for some reason and one of the gimmicks they introduce for the penultimate boss is so inconsistent i thought i was doing something wrong

and i really can't stress enough just how bad Billy feels to control when you don't have an egg. i don't think i've ever played a 3d platformer with a character who feels as sluggish and feeble as Eggless Billy

which means that relatively simple jumps can sometimes take a Lot of tries cus there's no way of consistently making sure Billy actually gets on the fucking platform

any time you land on a platform (which happens a lot in this platformer), Billy detaches from his egg
if you're near the edge of the platform this means that Billy will fall and either a) you have to slowly jog to another egg to try again or b) he will plummet into the abyss

when you have an egg in your possession then things are almost nearly quite good - somewhere in this game is the yolk of a decent platformer that kinda has some fun schmovement stuff going on - but the game often seems to do everything in its power to make you not be in possession of an egg

took a brief respite and came back cus i already got so close to the end. i don't want this game to beat me. thankfully the last level isn't as bad on a replay and there's a spot near the boss gate where you can pick up seemingly endless 1-ups

really might be done with it there cus the last level and penultimate boss were so fucking bad that i don't wanna have to go through it again

i had the final boss at half health and my fucking emulator crashed

how about you guys do your fucking job
