Hi, Kermit thee Frog here. I truly appreciate all the love this game and series has gotten over the years. If you are looking for even *more* challenge from this game, Marc recently created a hard-mode version (less saves and a tweak here or there to go with it) - as the original version wasn't set up properly for hard+ modes.

You can find the download for the hardmode version here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9xfmblkyn2t9wnb/I+Wanna+Kill+the+Kermit+3.zip/file

A fitting conclusion to the series. It stays true to style as it was left and carries on in the same style and difficulty.

Production-wise, it's a real mixed bag. The music choices continue as they are - typically slower classic/pop songs that seem out of place in a game's soundtrack and the visuals are all over the place. They are typically quite minimalist but carefully polished. There are a lot of questionable choices on this front but Wonderful has really refined his style to make it work. The music cautiously fits the tone well and the visual production while keeping it simple manages to add a nice clean touch and detail to almost every segment to keep it interesting. Its a dangerous line, but he walks it well.

The game has a ton of stages, and though they are individually quite short, the end result is still quite an extensive game that can take a very substantial amount of time to get through. Expect to bounce from hub to hub for a while.

The platforming tends to be what the Kermit games are known for. This is where the majority of the difficulty lies and its probably where its at its best and worst. At its core its a needle game, and doesn't shy away from difficulty with it. There's a ton of generic jumps in this that I personally felt unnecessary and grindy. However, every stage has a gimmick that brings uniqueness to it and usually makes those repeated jumps atleast a little different and the variety among the gimmicks is where it shines. Again, this is a dangerous game that Wonderful has refined with experience but there's definitely a couple points where it falls short. Difficulty balance is a bit all over the place and there's a couple stages/segments that are truly terrible. Watch out for Poorly executed RNG platforming and timed ice physics.

As you'd expect with a ton of stages, there are a lot of bosses too. I'm a big fan of these. Unlike a lot of adventure games they are never the stopping point in this game and are all varied and fair (and usually more than a little bit trippy). They're simplistic, usually containing only a couple of attacks but always mix in a gimmick of sorts to make them stand out.

Overall this is a bumpy ride, but one worth taking once you reach the necessary skill level. Its a unique style with a lot of creative design that it best represented and kept within this series. Play this if you're looking for something familiar to a needle grind but with a ton of variety and a lot of twists on the typical fangame gimmicks. Its far from perfect but the bad points are easily eclipsed by the good points and its easy to appreciate that with doing this many different things in a single game, some won't turn out well. That said, I don't recommend this to anyone who isn't confident they can handle it. It starts hard, stays hard and you will likely find something you're not a fan of and don't like. From experience, it's certainly beyond my skill level at points and some of those points got very frustrating. All said, this game (and by association the series) is an important piece of fangame history and way more memorable than almost anything else you will come across.

Kermit 3, just as its predecessors, is an adventure through surreal environments with experimental platforming mixed with interesting gimmicks and boss fights.

The music choices are various, which of course means there will be some songs you like and some you don't. Personally, while I'm not a big fan of music with vocals in it, I have come to respect wonderful's music and embrace it while I'm playing.

The game is very long and it's quite difficult, testing your abilities in needle, moving hazards and boss fights. Most stages have a central gimmick they use to combine with needle jumps in an interesting way. The stages are pretty short, usually only having 3 or 4 screens. The boss fights are are all some incarnation of Kermit the frog and as expected, are very weird but also pretty interesting at times. The final boss is a climactic masterpiece that will bring you to tears and a standing ovation.

My opinion of this game is that it's a great experience for people who are confident in their skills as a needle and boss player. I had a lot of fun going through the game but it was also quite frustrating at times getting stuck for over 20 minutes on a single savepoint. It's not really a problem with the game, I'm just not the best needle player out there. (And I'm hopeless at shorthopping). The game has been nerfed a bit since I tested it though so it should be relatively well balanced. Anyway, I hope people like this game because it's clear that a lot of work and love went into making it.

Easily the best game I've ever played. It's a lengthy adventure game filled with many different gimmicks and styles of needle complimented with groovy music throughout. The aesthetic along with the music often combines for a slightly trippy yet chill vibe. It is somehow an improvement in almost every way over Kermit 2, an incredible game in its own right. The platforming is more difficult, but is incredibly satisfying. The bosses are probably the high point of this game. They each combine a unique gimmick with a banging soundtrack to create a special sort of boss that feels very special to Kermit games. My only complaint is that there are a couple difficulty spikes, but nothing that would warrant taking off any points. The final boss is a masterpiece. This game is a must play for anyone that is confident in their abilities.

Pretty hard to judge but it was a positive experience overall. While there are some saves here and there that felt too precise for their own, or just saves I didn't liked, most of the platforming is really well-made with a ton of different stages. Final one apart, bosses are really the weak part of the game, they are mostly easy and quite short, making them not very interesting (but at least not a roadblock). The final boss however is a masterpiece, it's again really easy (it's probably the easiest boss of the game) but if you played the whole serie you cannot but like this boss. My main complaint toward the game is, and it's the same for kermit 2, that stages are really short (most of them are 3 screens long) which makes them not very memorable, and stages you like end too fast. It's a good thing for stages you don't, but there are really some I wish they were longer.

Overall a competent game and my hardest clear to date, there are some saves I still don't know how I passed but a lot of them gave me the "holy shit I did it" feeling, which is incredibly satisfying.

Besides one area the rest of the game is absolutely fantastic.
