Has a really bad score because medal sluts cant beat it and have gotten angreh, lawl.

Don't deny yourself the pleasure of a challenging game!
You know you love how you can't beat SMB2!
You know you love how you can't beat level 3 of Makai Mura!
You know you love how you can't beat Metroid quick enough to see Samus naked!
You know you love how you can't beat Cave Story perfectly to see the best ending!
You know you love how you can't beat all the challenges in Contra 4!
DON'T DENY IT! YOU FUCKING LOVE IT!

By god, that was the best game i've ever seen.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 8:26 AM Sonik-Team says:

I'll admit it's really frustrating but it's a shame that people resort to down-voting a quality submission just because it's hard. As long as it's not glitchy and it is possible to complete legitimately there shouldn't be a problem.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 8:28 AM Brundaty says:

Whoa.

medal whores must be like : O.o


Jul. 5, 2009 | 9:43 AM AustinBreed says:

I thought this glitch I had was part of the game, but I guess not. It started playing really annoying noises at first whenever I jumped, that repeated and would layer to sound really ugly. And then my character moved way too many pixels with each press of an arrow key, and it was impossible to make it fast the first jump no matter what. And the ads would fuck up and it would take me to the instructions screen instead of a game over screen when I died.

Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:40 AM PiGPEN responds:

Lolwut?


Jul. 5, 2009 | 10:04 AM JonBro says:

I can't even beat Ballos in Cave Story, and getting there takes me about ten minutes. I'd never be able to beat it in four.

I got to the first green platform in Lastman lol

Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:41 AM PiGPEN responds:

Smooth!


Jul. 5, 2009 | 10:08 AM kidd25 says:

but i got the last the ending now i just can't get the normal ending :(/

2 things on NG sucks so much. 1: You 2:This Game


Jul. 5, 2009 | 10:51 AM AssassinXbunny says:

I didn't like this came not because it was hard but because it was boring


Jul. 5, 2009 | 10:52 AM AssassinXbunny says:

I'm sorry to say but like your other work this was just boring and it wasn't hard just boring

Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:42 AM PiGPEN responds:

Ok it's not hard. >_>


Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:07 AM SinRift says:

It only got down-voted because of the 1 in 5 ads, other than that it IS a great little 8-bit piece of nostalgia. %u2665%u2665


Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:17 AM flashwarrior says:

great game.
Kinda annoying, but great.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:21 AM mahtehthew says:

seriously you cant just swap out quality with the level of difficulty. at least cave story was fun

Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:45 AM PiGPEN responds:

some people have fun covering themselves in poo you know?
of course you know. you enjoy scat. that is how you define fun.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:23 AM Balazeal says:

I thought the hardest game was OCD+

Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:43 AM PiGPEN responds:

You were wrong.

lastman is to cavestory as linkin park is to frank sinatra

Theyre both rappers.

Jul. 5, 2009 | 12:07 PM NoneZop says:

or maybe its because the controls try too much to be like the original mario, where after you run you can jump further, and completely take that idea and fuck it up so much that the game loses its fun and not worth my time playing


Jul. 5, 2009 | 12:45 PM firehawk320 says:

damm i have ghost n goblins (makai mura), and ive only reached lvl 2, damm NES games u cant save, ninja gaiden 2 (the NES one) is also hard


Jul. 5, 2009 | 1:26 PM aquaticmole says:

Why it has such a bad score i will never know.

The graphics are good and controls are alright their are far worse games with higher scores, example OCD+


Jul. 5, 2009 | 1:34 PM Panzerknacker says:

I have gotten the best ending of Cave Story, though!

...

But Lastman has me crying after two minutes.

Jul. 5, 2009 | 2:46 PM PiGPEN responds:

there, there


Jul. 5, 2009 | 3:51 PM Skeik-Sprite says:

If people don't enjoy the game they're going to vote low.

People are voting low because they think it's a bad game. I know the point of it was to be hard but that doesn't make it any more enjoyable. There's very little fun to be had in running into 5 times before you get the hang of the extremely unresponsive jump mechanic.

Jul. 13, 2009 | 3:05 AM PiGPEN responds:

unresponsive how? you click, he jumps.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 4:28 PM Glunnator says:

You earn win just for mentioning Cave Story.
Bonus points for knowing how hard the perfect ending is.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 5:01 PM SamIam says:

I WILL BEAT IT! I WILL!


Jul. 5, 2009 | 5:03 PM firenova1295 says:

This game is fucking awesome. Finally something with a challenge.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 5:49 PM ReignOfHell says:

Despite this game being the hardest game on Newgrounds. There are areas where it can be pretty forgiving. My personal favorite moment so far is jumping through a missile. As for beating it, I'm having trouble where there are two missile launchers with 4 coming out of each. I'm super reluctant at using the video walkthrough... I just might.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 5:55 PM Kajenx says:

I don't love it, sorry. There's hard, and then there's frustrating, they're not the same thing.

Jul. 13, 2009 | 3:05 AM PiGPEN responds:

yeah one is a level of difficulty and the other is an emotion.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 6:04 PM GreenCastle says:

I agree with Skeik-Sprite.

I like the visual style of the game, but the jumping is way off... you get caught in the air going the wrong speed and you're screwed.

The collision detection is painfully picky, you have to hit the crabs dead center or you die... even if it doesn't look like I touched one at all. The level design is decent, challenging but not sadistic.

I don't like the jump that requires the player to keep track of where they are while above the screen. The screen should scroll if I need to be up there. You could be above the screen in SMB, but you're never required to do so. You may have seen it as an extra challenge but I just saw it as bad design. Logically, there is no reason I shouldn't be able to see my character, if my character can see. Maybe the clouds are thick up there? I dunno.

After a certain number of failed attempts, an ad appeared. Not cool. Instead of waiting for it, I stopped playing and gave you your score.

This is probably a good game, but it's not a great game, and most of its challenge is artificial (from what I saw). I don't believe it is the "hardest game on newgrounds" - that is a vague and misleading title. If I made a game where you had to input 230d2049 to win, and didn't tell anyone the password, that game would be pretty hard, but technically possible to win. What do you think it means to be a "hard" game? I'm not sure now that I think about it.

Jul. 6, 2009 | 5:54 AM PiGPEN responds:

-The detection is as specific as it should be. Crabs are harder than Goombas because they have claws...deal with it.
-There are no landings that depend on you knowing where you are above the screen.
-Watch the ads or block them! Dont quit playing! YOU DISHONOR YOUR FAMILY!


Jul. 5, 2009 | 6:12 PM GreenCastle says:

To clarify, I meant the part where you have to jump above the screen, land on a 1-tile wide metal beam, and jump to something else.

Jul. 6, 2009 | 5:59 AM PiGPEN responds:

Youre doing it wrong.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 6:19 PM zatangy says:

Its stupid fuckin hard


Jul. 5, 2009 | 6:43 PM SamIam says:

I got to the X Bricks! :D How far till the END!

Jul. 6, 2009 | 5:54 AM PiGPEN responds:

Youre maybe one quarter of the way to fighting the boss!


Jul. 5, 2009 | 7:09 PM jaxxy says:

Holy shit, that really is the hardest game ever. XD


Jul. 5, 2009 | 8:06 PM Starogre says:

Hi i'm a video game critic and I rate peoples' games based on how fast I can win medals and beat the first level. This, my friend, is total crap. You can't get the medals and you can't beat the first level without dying. This game should be split up into different levels with more lives. You'd have to change the name to Super Mario Clone ReduXX but I think it's worth it to make a mario game instead of your own ideas or people won't like it. I rate it 2/5 stars because I am too used to mario physics and that displeases me when people trick me with clones that aren't actual clones.

~xXcoolvideogamegurukidXx~

Jul. 6, 2009 | 5:56 AM PiGPEN responds:

I cant play SMB1 anymore since im so used to the physics in SMB2(LostLevels).


Jul. 5, 2009 | 8:16 PM OneRedMage says:

you forgot I Wanna be The Guy and getting all the secret items in it.

Jul. 6, 2009 | 5:58 AM PiGPEN responds:

I didnt forget....just not really the same sort of game.
I Wanna Be The Guy, Owata, Takeshi's Challenge.....also hard...different sort of hard.


Jul. 5, 2009 | 9:37 PM Faires says:

´FUCK HOW TO PLAY CAVE STORY PERFECT? SHIT YOU HAVE SEEN MY SOUL NOW >XD >XD


Jul. 5, 2009 | 11:34 PM TheSavant says:

I have no problem with a game being hard. Hell, right now I'm battering my brains out trying to beat MoneySeize, despite it's maniacal difficulty. But your game is just another example of hardness solely for the sake of making a hard game as opposed to hardness to provide a pleasureable challenge.

In your game, the enemies have very odd hitboxes in which you have to hit them within 2-4 sprites dead on just to kill them. This isn't a fun degree of difficulty, it's poor gameplay design, and that's why everyone is down voting your game. I could go on and on about the poor choices you've made here, and how you could clean it up, but it doesn't seem to be worth the time because you are too stubborn to admit that the game is rage-quit hard, not "Aww, man! If I just would have done this, I could have beaten the level, I'll get it next time!" hard...

Jul. 6, 2009 | 7:32 PM Jellyy says:

That game was awesome. Me and my friends each played to see who could get the farthest. I won. =P

The farthest I got was to a little after the Lastman made of blocks. Am I (kinda) close to the finish?

Jul. 6, 2009 | 8:13 PM PiGPEN responds:

The LASTMAN area is about 3 quarters in.

This game reminds me of SMB2 so much. Never could get past world 2.
Some day, some day...


Jul. 7, 2009 | 10:26 AM Liteice says:

Admit it, you just made this game to piss people off.


Jul. 7, 2009 | 2:13 PM Arthuria99 says:

You know you love how you make people depressed with your game
You know you love how to punish the medal collector


Jul. 7, 2009 | 6:38 PM FaceNine says:

That game qualifies as the most broken game on newgrounds, not the hardest.

SMB2 actually worked, and it was responsive. The difficulty of the game came from it being, well, difficult.

Your game, on the other hand, is basically everything we hated about old time games put into one horrid package. Terrible programing, horrible detection, etc. Basically, instead of a functioning game that provides a real challenge, we have a broken game where the challenge is in the fact that the game itself is almost unplayable.

Almost.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 4:33 PM PiGPEN responds:

Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that.


Jul. 7, 2009 | 10:40 PM aquaticmole says:

has anybody actually beaten it?

It's pretty awesome actually. I like it.


Jul. 10, 2009 | 10:37 AM RYNOL says:

Why do I die when I jump on the armadillos? I've only gotten past those damn armadillos twice. Couldn't you add a bit more information in the instructions? Like X blocks are dangerous. And I stil don't know what those fucking signs are for.

I like the game, but your instructions suck. Btw, how far am I into the game?

Jul. 13, 2009 | 3:09 AM PiGPEN responds:

well you die when jumping on crabs because of their claws....so you die jumping on armadillos because of their claws probably...or teeth.


Jul. 10, 2009 | 7:04 PM Sterance says:

I voted your game 0 because an add interrupted my game play. You are a moron for doing that.

Jul. 13, 2009 | 3:10 AM PiGPEN responds:

being dead really isnt gameplay.


Jul. 10, 2009 | 8:36 PM Shinzura says:

It's being downvoted because the controls are terrible and those "medal whores" are the only reason you get so many views. And am I the only one who finds it hilarious that even you didn't get any medals besides the one you claim to be the "Badge of Failure?"

Jul. 13, 2009 | 3:11 AM PiGPEN responds:

It's not like i was trying to get that badge....it's a hard game :3

I beat your game so EAT IT!


Jul. 15, 2009 | 10:12 AM KingExodus says:

Oh and The hardest game on Newgrounds is Alkie Kong 2 on Brutal without dieing once which I COMPLETED.


Jul. 17, 2009 | 5:09 AM smbzfan2 says:

You didnt clear it either.


Jul. 17, 2009 | 12:39 PM Lord-Kalvo says:

I like a challenge, but I think your game is unreasonable. Anyone can beat it if they're willing to take the ridiculous amount of hours it'd take to learn everything... There's nothing wrong with your game technically, it's just a big time consumer. There's not even a good couple of "training" stages to allow the player to get used to those quirky controls. It's just like "BOOM!! here you go MOTHERFUCKER!!!" lol.

Your game is unreasonable. Well made, but unreasonable. Most people hopefully have better things to do then figuring this game out inch by inch.

Jul. 17, 2009 | 11:43 PM PiGPEN responds:

"Anyone can beat it if they're willing to take the ridiculous amount of hours it'd take to learn everything."

Really you can say that about any game.


Jul. 17, 2009 | 1:26 PM SquizofrenicCat says:

Hey, your news title is wrong, it's not hardest game, it's the most bad programmed piece of boring shit on newgrounds.

Even Stickya Adventurya was fun to play.

WOW an author who didn't even won his own submission... you are a fail man... A FAIL!!!

no it has a really bad score because its just not fun

I wonder what will happen when it gets blammed.

Jul. 20, 2009 | 12:53 AM PiGPEN responds:

Ooh! I wonder!? Let's keep looking at it until it's blammed!

Speak for yourself.


Jul. 18, 2009 | 5:06 PM Mazrix says:

What I've noticed in the review section is that everyone who gave this game a good score has been rated useless, and everyone who doesn't know there's an "A" button on their keyboards has been rated useful... I bet the 4chan-kiddos found your game.

Jul. 20, 2009 | 12:52 AM PiGPEN responds:

I hate you. lol... one of the hardest games I have ever played :)
BUT, it's not as hard as Kaizo Mario (AKA Asshole Mario)!

Jul. 20, 2009 | 12:56 AM PiGPEN responds:

I donno....Kaizo had checkpoints and enough lives for me to make it to the final level and all the way to Bowser...couldn't manage to beat him but i'm sure i could with some luck (those fucking hammers at the end are endless....need godly luck).


Jul. 19, 2009 | 3:28 AM Paintgunner says:

Oh yeah, its a challenge alright. The level is so long and slippery controling will cause you to never make it. Oh yeah, and iI hear your secret achievement is to run back after beating the boss. Are you guys nuts?

Jul. 20, 2009 | 12:57 AM PiGPEN responds:

Just a little.


Jul. 19, 2009 | 12:11 PM Arthuria99 says:

I hope you don't seriously think that your game was fun

Why you don´t have all the medals of Lastman if is your game?


Jul. 21, 2009 | 7:46 PM Malkraz says:

Rage Get!

I love how everyone is complaining about how hard the game is and that they can't get their precious medals, it's hilarious.

Gamers these days are so needy and bitchy and need the game to hold their hand and guide them through every little step and make it as easy as possible for them. If this doesn't happen even to the slightest degree, that game automatically sucks.

I like how you took this (?) and made it immediately as hard as possible with barely any help to the player at all, making 3/4 of the Newgrounds community rage.

You win 5 internets and a cookie.


Jul. 22, 2009 | 2:17 PM Alex12345269 says:

FUCKING VIDEO ADS....

Also, are armadillos completely luck based?


Jul. 23, 2009 | 8:49 PM someguy789 says:

Go to tvtropes.org and look up fake difficulty. That article describes your game perfectly.

Your game isn't hard, it just has so many design flaws that creates the illusion of difficulty.

At least IWTBTG makes it entertaining to fail. AND the controls and character dynamics actually work. You know you died because you hit something wrong/ got caught by a trick, not because a poorly made hitbox decides to kill you.
