I turned my volume off. I had to due to there being a sound that sounds just like my blackberry letting me know I have an email.

On this game I made it to what I think is the boss, but I really can't figure out how the hell to beat him.

If anyone has made it this far or knows how to kill this bastard, any hints or tips would be appreciated.

Well, I finished it finally.

The game has way too many (intentional) flaws to warrant a second or third play-through for myself, so I guess I just won't get the Zero Hero and Speed Racer medals. Perhaps if the control scheme was a little more solid and the game was just a little more "polished" I would give it another go, but honestly it wasn't that fun of a game.

Hopefully we see a fun medal game sometime soon.

Also, there is an extremely easy way to beat the final boss and I'll try and explain it best I can. On the top left platform there is a spot where the falling spikes won't hit you, stand there and blast away at him for the first 2 or 3 waves of falling spikes. At this time he'll extend his arm to kill you and you can simply double jump to avoid this. On the 4th wave of falling spikes there will be a new spike that WILL kill you so you want to make sure to move a little to the left or right for it, but after that one falls you can resume the same spot. By the 6th wave I had killed him, and I'm sure some people can kill him faster since I'm a slow clicker.

He's pretty easy with this method.

Was that right after the pac man level, with those 10 floating boxes with spikes on some of them? I'm able to get off screen by going right, and i see a few levels, but I haven't been able to skip any of them.

Double post.

I was just looking at the game description and the producer of the game had this written down:

Edit: I have noticed allot of people complaining about the control scheme, off hit tests, double jump reaction, music choice and bad platforms. Which just proves to us that our intention has succeeded.
Thank you.

What an ass!

That's a sorry excuse for poor programming skills.

YAY! Let's make a shitty ass game! Forget putting quality in your products, people like shitty things. I'm starting to realize that the Medals system is allowing really crappy games to be way too popular.

i hate that new game. it's a Lastman/WhenThePigsFly kind of game.
i'm only going for the time and death medals, NO MORE.

Yes, sir. What you do is then continue to hold right and constantly jump. You'll skip through all the levels up through and counting Donkey Kong. saves a good minute of excruciating misery.

Indeed it is.

I realized that as soon as I played Lastman, but nobody would believe me back then >:
Anyway, this game doesn't sound like much fun based on what I've heard so far..I'm going to get the death medals (and the secret ones, if I figure them out), but I'm not going to waste my time trying to beat the game in under...30 minutes?Wtf?Is the game THAT long?

All the secret medals are unlocked as you progress through the game, impossible to miss.

It's more or less just difficult + you backtrack through levels a lot, so the time does rack up quickly. 30 minutes honestly doesn't seem too terribly difficult, I just don't want to give it a go because the game wasn't very fun to me.

More like ten minutes; but that if you know where all the things that could kill you are.

The game is not terribly difficult. The controls, and buginess in the levels, just make it seem so.

Okay, this part is really starting to piss me off.
I can't use my double jump inbetween platforms, so it's practically impossible for me to get past this level..how did you guys do it?
Is it too much to ask for the game to fucking work as it was supposed to?Jeez.

I guess you should pm the author now.

I got it quicker using my "skip some levels" trick and I did PM the author. No response. I told him to fix the game. The image that Heavy Tank shows is by far the most difficult level, in my opinion. getting through that one unscathed is a nightmare. Pretty much once you land on the bottom platform, just tap w like crazy and hope your guy successfully lands on each upward platform. Also, make sure you're holding down the left arrow when you get to the top, or you just pop up on the next screen and fall right back down to this horrible spike maze.

well, I guess the best way is to go up the center of the moving platform, and not move right or left too much as you do. Don't try to move with those platform, just jump and double jump up. When you jump into the next screen, it would probably be best if you move to the right so you land on the moving platform as you reenter the previous screen - this will make sense when you bump into the rotating platform and knocked back into the hole to the previous screen.

Well, I am officially done with the game. Got all the medals.

Now l understand even less than before...which moving platform are you talking about?
Is it before the "HAVE FUN :D" part?
Because if it is, nevermind.

I have tried 100 times and can't get over the platform part. Because you don't actually stand on the platforms. Yet you can't jump through them

A save point is seriously needed here >:

For that screen, just bashing "w" won't work. Alternate between jumping left and right...it's hard to describe, but if you find the correct rhythm you'll land just as the platform moves beneath your feet. This method is way more consistent.

for that zigzag spike screen, move to the edge of the first slope and tap right: you'll slide down slowly. Double jump right before you hit the first spike. Easy.

I still think that there should be a save point there...especially considering that retarded "valley of death" sign...

Erm, how do I get past this thing?
I have to jump, and, in mid-air, change my direction so that I don't get squashed by the (here drawn in red) platform..but where can I go?
If I go to the left, I get pierced, and if I go to the right..well..squashed.
:(

Simply jump back to where you jumped from....

For i wanna be the flash i serioulsy cant get past the first save. I jump to high i die. I jump on the first spike i die. I can manage to get on the very edge of the first spike for about a half a second without dieing. So i jump bit i hit the top spikes and die. So im guessing i have to drop down and then jump onto the second platform but i cant do it. Am I missing something?

Urgh, I must be pretty tired...mabe I have to stop playing for now *faints, eyes roll back*.

Urgh!! This game!!! I don't know why but i feel the need to at least get to the end so it doesn't beat me.

I've got past Kong but I cant get to the next save point. i can get so close to it but i cant avoid the wall spikes!! Anyone got any ideas for where is a good place to jump? It takes too much effort for me to even reach that point to continue this trial and error thing I've got going on at the moment

King Kong is annoying not only because getting through him seems imp...robable, but also because every time I die I have to complete two more rooms before even getting the chance to face him..
Fucking hell, this game has the worst checkpoints ever.

Just as the authors intended, you were fooled. That save point is fake. If you look closely you'll find that the word "save" is written backwards.

If kong is giving you trouble, try this: Wait at the edge of ramp till barrel rolls past you overhead, then jump onto the next ramp and stay there. Wait till the next barrel reaches you, double jump over it and run to the next clearing. Doing each "level" in two steps gives you a much larger margin for error.

Standing on top of that first save point, double jump onto the horizontal spike. You will not die.
