Overview
No ending spoilers, but a fair warning for the lighthearted who don’t want to get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over, like me.
Foreword
I just want to start off saying I have no quarrels against this game. In fact, I really enjoy it—I’ve put in 5 hours, mostly stuck at a certain part, but never getting mad at the game. This game is good in the sense that every time I’ve failed, or ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, it’s been my fault. I’ve never blamed the game for my own mistakes, and every slip-up or fall I’ve made has been either my bad reaction time, or maybe going too fast and getting too greedy, or whatever. It’s never been the game’s fault.
I’ve spent roughly the last 2 or so hours in this game on the Orange part. Falling down, getting back up, I’m basically a god speedrunner at the first part of the game, everywhere up until the mountain and the orange. It’s just been me falling and mispositioning and everything, but it’s been my fault.
Except for this part.
Recently, after time and time again and me slowly getting closer, I finally, finally got over it.
If you want to avoid being spoiled, don’t read the rest of the guide.
So stop reading.
You good? Okay.
Spoilers
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥ you Bennett Foddy for putting in that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ jumpscare. I played your game, and I quite enjoyed it, but you really didn’t have to do that. And honestly? It’s fine, and I’m okay with you having it in there. Me losing all that progress was whatever. But I’m going to let any other kind-hearted, perhaps faint of heart person like me who wasn’t expecting a jumpscare in this type of game know what they’re up against. Okay? Good.
Alright, folks, you see this part? This part right here?
Right after this demonic little thumb, as soon as you get up to that little ledge, a bunch of bats are going to come flying out and a loud scream is going to play. If you’re getting to this part, take off your headphones and expect a bunch of stupid demonic creatures flying at you at mach 10.
I repeat, take off your headphones.
Otherwise, like me, you’re going to jerk your arm and waste all that hard-earned progress. Don’t let that happen to you.
And I’m sure a bunch of fanboys are going to come on this guide and call me a buzzkill or a ♥♥♥♥♥ or whatever, tipping their fedoras thinking they’ve “le epically trolled” me, or whatever, by spoiling it. But some people genuinely have problems with that sort of thing, and I know I certainly didn’t expect a jumpscare to be in this game.
