Syoban Action

  1. What are the goals, obstacles and rewards of the game?

The goal of the game is basically to reach the end of the level. Obstacles are hidden enemies and troll platforming. The rewards are to beat the level while maintaining your sanity.

2. How does the game play with expectations of the platformer video game genre?

The game plays pretty well despite being a complete troll of a Mario game. Platforms can disappear randomly and enemies spawn or come out of nowhere to piss you off. Overall, with lots of trials and errors and precise timing, you will get by.

3. What genre would you apply to this game?

The genre would be a 2D platformer.

4. What comment is the game making on video games in general?  Is it making a comment or is it just a joke?

I believe this game is meant to be a joke due to the unfairness and the fact that it’s a parody Mario game. The fact that it’s extremely difficult, yet hilarious draws people in and makes it a fun experience overall.

Blocks will randomly fall to try and kill you….
The Mario mushroom powerup, instead of providing you with an advantage, makes you extremely big and heavy and you fall through the floors to your death….
Fake ending poles…….nice
