I was bored so I decided to go for the Meat Boy and Focus impossible badges on kongregate. After finishing Meat Boy and giving up on Focus, here are the things I feel these games have messed up so badly...
Rule 1: Thou shall not have piss music and sound effects blasting your ears and giving thou ideas to murder thy speakers or headphones with no mute button.
Violator: Meat Boy
This was baad. Let me interrupt myself here and mention that Woodkid's Iron calms me greatly. So when I cannot listen to it and instead have to hear that same repetitive music over and over again, combined with some levels where there are many rocket launchers making fart noises I couldn't stand myself.
Rule 2: You shall not have inconsistent controls.
Violator: Meat Boy
Let me admit here, that the controls are tight. But they are so inconsistent to the point of frustration. A tap of the left key would simply edge me to a platform, while in some other times will send me flying across the room. I've tried it on same levels with relatively the same moves throughout levels and I can safely confirm that the controls change according to what they please.
Rule 3+4: Thou shall not have little children arguing, nor shall you have blocks that are hard to distinguish from the back ground.
Violators: Kongregate and Meat Boy respectively
And while on the subject of screenshots, you shouldn't frustrate me to the point of naming my screenshots Arse, Arse2 and WastedTime.avi.
Rule 5: Thou shall not include blue moons in your gameplay nor should you have collectibles from the planet jerk.
See these? I hate these one block gaps where you have to tiptoe your massive bum around till the stars align and twilight stops sucking then you will pass. Another thing, notice the bandaid in the middle? I hate those two. You have to squint, glue your face to the monitor and magnify the picture a billion times to notice it. But finding and getting to it isn't the hard part, collecting it is. You see, the last level was called sky pup. Here's the screenshot.
That bandaid was an arse to reach, and it took 60 gazillion times for the bandaid to notice I was hugging it to be collected. Then comes the scrolling screen trick where if you are a sniff away from the bottom of the screen, you are dead. Start over. Speaking of that...
Rule 6: You do NOT have crap hitboxes.
Self explanatory I suppose.
But I moved on and finally, finally I managed to end skypup.
Yay....
HOWEVER.
Focus was horror. I'll give it two awards since I don't want to think of it any more.
Rule 7: A-hole missiles of the finest quality.
Missile launchers that fire missiles at the rate of about 2 missiles a second, that are so small and so fast your slow motion can't always save you.
Rule 8: You do not cause laptops to strategically exit buildings through windows.
Post the things that made you infuriated, that broke holy rules of games that shouldn't be broken. Can be any type of game.
Capacha: Fair and square. Yeah right...
