Ancient game from 2010 that was considered to be lost for the past 12 years. It was briefly mentioned in old wiki logs, but without a proper download link. There were people who have played it when it came out, but footage of the game was lost to time. After many years, this game was finally unearthed.

I will say ahead of time that the game isn't very good, but this was to be expected from games around this time. The platforming is very dull and primitive, but this is what I find to be very charming about this maker's games.

Before you start the game, you get the option to choose between two warps. The left warp starts the game, while the right warp brings you to a big room with various jumps you can practice. The practice room does not contain any secrets or warps, so it is pointless to go there other than checking what the screen is about out of curiosity.

The first half of the game contains the first 10 screens. After that you get brought to a screen where you can enter any warp you want, including the practice warp (which you shouldn't do because then you have basically softlocked yourself). Entering the warp to the right brings you to extra, where you will most likely spend most of your time on.

Most of the screens before extra start with a moving spike wall, so most of the time you will die as you enter the next room because you don't know what's coming ahead of you. This game also contains a lot of traps, mostly consisting of moving spikes or fake blocks. There were some creative traps later on that I haven't seen done in other games, which I did like a lot. At one point in extra, you have to collect all 3 letters to spell HST. There is a warp that brings you to a random room, with one of the three letters at the end of the screen. H and S aren't too difficult, but the last save of T is brutal if you aren't that good at cycles.

It is quite obvious that this game hasn't aged well, but I will say this: Out of all the オーオオ games I've played so far, this one I liked the most. If you are interested in older difficult games or like the elusive history of this game, I would recommend it. Otherwise you might be in for a rough time.

*raspy boomer voice* They just don't make them like this anymore
In all seriousness, the game is probably only worth playing for its really bizarre application of traps, and to see how weird some of the screens look. I would almost say this is quite an insular and special game considering it was made in 2010 and I have yet to encounter any game that uses traps the same way that this game does despite all the years that have passed since its release. There are a few cycle based screens that were quite frustrating and lots of screen transition deaths that kinda ruin the experience, but despite those faults I enjoyed my time with the game and would recommend the game to people who wanna play something slightly different.

Rating based on clear with extra. Really hard for a 2010 game. Do not play without looking up the traps cause theres a lot of them that instagib at the start of the next screen. The game has some cool ideas but its very frustrating

the absolute worst experience on delfruit

this game is the strangest, most illogical amalgamation of blocks, spikes and triggers. it's like the creator used only 3 objects to make a game, and TRIED to make the most unfun, unsatisfying, awkward and downright horrendous creation ever. not one thing in this game resembled fun, it was a painful and shitty experience through and through. I've said nothing specific so far, so let's begin with this: the transitions in the first 9 or so screens force you to beat them twice because of screen transitions - once you enter a new screen, you instantly die. the platforming itself reeks of age and lack of effort.
actually, I take that back - you HAVE to put in effort to make something like this. this game loves traps, by loves I mean traps are the essence of all gameplay within this game. I've played annoying trap games before, but they aren't as annoying because they're all fairly easy (30-50 diff at most). trap games are usually funny and have creative traps. even if they don't the traps can all be learned fairly easily and passed consistently. but in this fucking monstrosity? no, this game is genuine 70+ diff along with the cruelest traps I've ever seen. I would like to write a section about the lowlights of this game, but that would mean I would have to write about nearly every screen in the game, which I don't have the patience for (despite the fact I've cleared this crap).

extra is a complete joke. the most awkward cycles, traps, needle and trigger abuse. extra contains one of the weirdest needle saves I've ever done, requiring you to do something like the TAS fall (but harder) and then a bunch of inverts and a plane. another highlight of extra is one of the first screens, requiring you to savejump across half the screen to avoid an instagib trigger. how are you meant to figure this out? who the fuck knows, who the fuck cares. I know the game is old, but that's no excuse for its awfulness. I could go on for hours about how all of this makes no sense and is super super awful but I won't bore you with any more of it and I'll keep it short and sweet:


no matter what you do, don't play this game
