I’ve mentioned this before, but most of the games on the Homestarrunner.com site are pretty forgettable, and hardly worth playing, but there are a few gems if you’re willing to look hard enough.
It would take me entirely too long to explain everything about this game but hitting a few highlights: This game is an homage/parody of the 8-bit games of my childhood. Days when games were ludicrously hard, poorly translated, easy to pick up and play, and often loads of fun.
The game is pretty simple, run to the goal, smash everything in your way, encounter a super-tough boss monster, repeat. Some of the stages change it up a little bit, but nothing too hard.
In fact, the only bad thing about this game (other than the unrelenting difficulty) is that the game has been out for a couple of years now and is still unfinished. In fact, it’s just missing the last level, which sticks in my craw… whatever that means.
