99 Fails

Journey through Zeebo’s surreal nightmare in this impossibly difficult to master casual, genre-bending precision platforming game with a rich, bizarre dreamworld. Traverse 11 dream layers in 9 iterations, each with their own gameplay mechanic, transforming Zeebo. Control Zeebo with one to three action buttons, depending on which mechanic you’re playing. Each mechanic and iteration will make an appeal to your sense of timing, rhythm, and anger management skills. Unlock more and more entries in the dream journal and analyze them in a game-wide puzzle to finally find the source of Zeebo’s torture.

THE FEATURES

  • Easy to play. So easy, your grandparents can play. But they won’t master it. By the way, neither will you.

  • Eleven different dream layers, mechanics and morphs, nine dream iterations each. That’s right, that makes 99 levels.

  • Each dream has 3 modes: 99 Pillars for anyone. 666 Pillars for the maniacs. Endless pillars for the masochists.

  • Countless bizarre, trippy and surreal creations, events and unforgettable characters.

  • Procedurally generated levels, including paths, events and enemies, no playthrough is the same.

  • Adaptive audio and music that evolves along with you as you traverse dreams, in full stereo.

  • Explore Zeebo’s bedroom in old-school PC point ‘n click style to learn more about his life and issues.

  • Perform dream analysis within a unique elaborate puzzle mechanic in the dream journal to figure out what’s fueling his nightmare.

  • What more could you possibly want? More fails? That can be arranged.

NEEBOTA - NOOBOTA

Zeebo’s world is called Neebota. Neebota is an alternative universe to ours. Humans don’t exist there, but portals do open up and items and beings sometimes slip through. There are many legends about such events and Zeebo and his friends love going to abandoned places, forests to look for portals and things from earth. Noobota, on the oher hand, is the dreamworld of any Neebotian. And it’s Zeebo’s Noobota you have to conquer in 99 Fails!

THE COGNIZOIDS

Cognizoids are entities in Noobota. They represent everything from abstract concepts like death, love, to particular objects or persons from Zeebo’s real world, Neebota. They can be a person Zeebo knows, or represent his fears or joy. Which one represents what is for you to figure out!

THE UNFAIRY

You’ve heard of fairies. But have you heard of The Unfairy? Whatever she is, she doesn’t always mean well. And her transformation is a bizarre, gruesome sight to behold.

NEEBOTA’S REVENGE

When real life is poking you in your dream lobe.

UCHO

Musical rainbow-peeing ear. Sounds like random drizzle on a piano.

LARTUM THE GIANT

The not-so-gentle giant of optical deception, a dreamlord that will give you vertigo and toy with your playthrough.

BED OF REBIRTH

That feeling when your clone shows up pregnant with a hatched egg and mature chicken inside. Which is…an entirely new sort of feeling.

HEKKE & HEKKEDERIAN

Last, but certainly not least: Hekke! Zeebo’s squiddly, cuddly jelly pet who follows him everywhere, even into his dreams. Though in his dreams, he’s not quite as cuddly…in fact, what is up with that split tongue? Is that mom and dad?

I have never actually played one of these games before. I only played around 40ish minutes and didn’t get too far. It is fun and addicting but as you could have guessed it’s also pretty frustrating. I would recommend it for anyone who want’s a challenge. If you want to watch me take my first stab at it check out the link below.

City Climber

City Climber

Klettere hoch hinaus

Jeder startet mal irgendwo. Mit kleinen Griffen schleppst du dich eben noch über den Boden der Stadt und ehe du dich versiehst kletterst du durch eine Raumstation.

| Spielzeit | Wiederspielwert |

| 3- 4 Stunden | gelegentlich |

Story

Vorhanden, aber eher nebensächlich.

Die Story wird in 14 Akte unterteilt, der Anfang wird der Spieler mit einem Tutorial eingeführt und anschließend beginnt die Story mit einer Rettung eines Tieres. Diese geht natürlich schief und das Männchen wird verhaftet. Dieses flüchtet darauf aus dem Gefängnis mithilfe seiner Kletterkünste. Die turbulente Flucht endet jedoch nach einer relativ kurzen Zeit.

! Das Männchen hat dennoch Glück im Unglück, denn die Polizei braucht seine Hilfe. Während der Arbeit für die Polizei deckt das Männchen ein Komplott gegen die Menschheit auf und muss dazu noch die Welt retten.

I first saw City Climber on 9gag many months ago. Upon rediscovering City Climber, I felt an overwhelming urge to play it and I’m pleased to say that I was not disappointed. Although the premise is simple, you can tell that a lot of care was put into the development of City Climber. I applaud SimpleGhost for creating such a great product despite having a small budget and working on it solo.

In City Climber, you essentially control the left and right arms of a ragdoll. With your infallible grip and gorilla-strength arms, you take on many challenges by doing what you do best – climbing. Unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to try the co-op mode, so this review will focus on single player.

Soviet Bear Uni Adventure

Unicycle Punishment Simulator 2019

The hardest, most frustrating game mechanics of any game I’ve played to date. Aiming weapons in Golden Eye using a N64 controller is easier than this game. This game was harder than riding a real life unicycle. However, once you finally …. FINALLY… overcome that obstacle, you feel accomplished for 30 seconds, then you’re back to feeling frustrated by the next obstacle. It was different, comical and challenging.

I’m deeply ashamed that I finished this game and I hope that no one else will ever play it.

Absolute garbage. Controls are awkward and can’t be remapped. Time limit prevents any thought to planning your run. Hit boxes are completely borked – The air near your character will come into contact with the air near a saw and you’ll die. Control during jumps (and height of jumps) is insufficient, given the hit box issue. You’re also forced to run it in full screen, creating some weird proportions for those of us running ultra wide.

Everything about this game is bad. If you have it, the only reason to tolerate this junk is to go for another +1 to your 100% achievement stat. Spend your time playing another game. You’ll thank me later.

50 wins, 50 times getting over it, fastest time being 4 mins 26 seconds and was a great journey
