Hardest game in the world

[habbywall]

How far can you get, and how many deaths did it take you to get there?
http://www.snubbyland.com/pop.php?type=games&ID=10

I've gotten to level 10 with about 130 deaths then gave up.

[vanpaun]

i lost the game

[maestro8]

Sorry, Habby, but that flash game is a trifle compared to the actual hardest game in the world:

La Mulana (http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=lamulana)

La Mulana will take you around 100 hours to beat. La Mulana contains dead-ends, 60-80 hours into the game. Should you encounter one, you will NEVER be able to beat the game, unless you restore a backed-up savegame.

The manual only describes about 20% of the game -- you have to figure out the rest. You can't even save your progress until you find a few items after 1-2 hours of searching. Even then, you can only restore into one place in the game. Any "exploration" you've done is undone once you save.

Things happen randomly in La Mulana. Any time you think you're safe from peril, something bad will happen to you, and usually you'll die. There are many false walls, floors, monsters hiding in statues. You can't just run around striking things with your whip... you might set off a boobie trap!

Nothing makes sense in La Mulana. You can press a switch in a dungeon and it could open a trap door in the next room, or it could uproot a tree miles away from you. You'll never know the difference. You just have to be VERY observant.

This, my friend, is a hard game. Your flash toy is suitable for infants and the elderly, but La Mulana is a hard game for veteran gamers.

[SHAY_CAM]

I will be the first one to beat this game.

[mornish]

Level 4 is pretty frustrating.

[this end up]

level 4 43 deaths

[caudy]

I got to level 4 after about 35 deaths and then died loads and gave up. It's an unbelievably frustrating game.

[mornish]

Level 6, 39 deaths

edit: level 7, 40 deaths.



level 7 is scary.


edit again: level 8, 48 deaths.

[caudy]

level 6, 17 deaths. It's possible to work your way through level 5 slowly so that you don't die unlike alot of other levels.

Edit: level 7 and 47 deaths. (level 6 is fiendishly hard)

[unibikeling]

Yeah.. I dont think i understand this game...

[Jerrick]

Yeah.. I dont think i understand this game...

Did you read the little guide?

You control the red block. If there are yellow balls, you collect those. Dodge the blue, and make it to the green.

[mornish]

I haven't been able to figure out level 8....

[Jerrick]

I only did the first level before going to work, but now ill go have a try at it all.

[mornish]

I accidentally pressed Apple R, and I don't feel like going back and doing it again.

edit: I was trying to press Apple T.

[brendon557]

gave up on level 4 with 56 deatsh, got there on 19

[Any Terrain]

level 6-47 deaths

[peleschramm]

I haven't been able to figure out level 8....
same... ive been clumsy so i have 222 deaths and am stuck on level 8

[Brian O.]

At 5 deaths I was at the very last block before finishing in level 5 and got killed. I think decided I hate the game.

[john_childs]

This, my friend, is a hard game. Your flash toy is suitable for infants and the elderly, but La Mulana is a hard game for veteran gamers.
Veteran gamers still play Zork I, II, & III and like it.

[mornish]

I Just started again and I'm at level 5 with 3 deaths.

[mornish]

Level 8, 12 deaths.


Now the fun starts :rolleyes:

[Sprida]

Level 10, 17 deaths.
Level 10 is hard...

Woot level 11 in 20 deaths.

[mornish]

Level 10, 17 deaths.
Level 10 is hard...

How did you beat level 8?

[Sprida]

Which one is 8? The one with the blue dots that go around the squares?
If so well it's hard to explain you kind of have to back track, so once a block is coming at you, you move back to let it pass and contiue on. If that makes sense.

[habbywall]

I started level 12 with 13 deaths, now I have 85 and still haven't beaten it.
Level 13, 100 deaths at the start.

[Sprida]

I started level 12 with 13 deaths, now I have 85 and still haven't beaten it.
I just finished level 12 and now im one 40 deaths :(

[habbywall]

Starting level 14 with 135 deaths.
Starting level 15 with 168 deaths.

[mornish]

Level 9 was intimidating but not as hard as it looked
.





is there a way to mute the music?

[Sprida]

I can't see a way to mute the music

Far out 18 is killing me i'm now on 120 deaths.

[Any Terrain]

i cant beat level 6...urg... i got to it with 23 deaths!

[UniBrier]

How far can you get, and how many deaths did it take you to get there?When I first read this I thought it was another Iraq thread.

[habbywall]

Level 15, 212 deaths, I give up.
It is an easy level, I just couldn't do it.

[Sprida]

Level 19 241 deaths... Red block massacre.

[Sprida]

I give up 421 deaths on level 23 which is impossible.

[Any Terrain]

level 6 is so hard for me.... i can get there with 16 deaths. i cant get the 2nd(edit:3rd(edit:last!)) yellow dot..

[Tyler_N]

i cant get the first dot on level 8. i can get the last two

[brendon557]

how did u guys do level 4? I think i knnow how, im just not fast enuf

[wheres_your_other_wheel]

i quit at level 10 withj 98 kills

[dudewithasock]

On level 7 right now with 30 deaths...level 6 wasn't that bad but level 7 is pretty tough.

[dudewithasock]

Level 11, 160 deaths. This one I can't really figure out. Gonna try again later.

[Any Terrain]

level 6 with 6 deaths!!!! (i cant beat 6 though... i know how to do it, its just hard for me.)

EDIT: level 7 with 25 deaths....
EDIT: level 8 with 29 deaths....

[Linusk]

I played this at school and got to level 8 with 100 deaths or so, then the class ended so I had to end the game. I don't really feel like doing all this stuff again. :(

[mornish]

Is there a way to mute the music?

[Matt_V]

Im on lvl 9 with 39 deaths, and I can't make it very far.

Is there a way to mute the music?

Turn off your speakers...

[Matt_V]

10/41

[mornish]

I can't figure out how to beat level 10, but it might come to me.

Level 9 was a freaking B*t** to beat.


I want to listen to itunes at the same time...

[Matt_V]

turn your speakers down a bit and turn the volume on itunes all the way up so that you mostly just hear your music. The tune for the game is acually not bad at all IMO.

lvl 10 doesn't really look to hard, but i can't even get past the first turn. It looks like you just have to constantly move in a perfect beat

[Matt_V]

11/173

[Matt_V]

14/260

I'm taking a break now

[Ducttape]

I got to level 7 with about 30 deaths...

[mornish]

I keep accidentally closing it or pressing apple r.

:(

[Matt_V]

im on 16 with 292 deaths. So far 10 has been the hardest

[Sprida]

I decided i'd give this game another go. So far im level 18 in 29 deaths, and level 18 killed me last time.




Woot I did level 18 with only 1 death.

[Sprida]

Level 26, 265 deaths, gonna give up soon this is insane.

[Sprida]

Level 28, 324 deaths I give up.

[dudewithasock]

Level 28, 324 deaths I give up.

Wow, you have far more patience than I. I salute you!

[hungry4uni]

level 23,

764 deaths



Just give up on 23, it's impossible.

[fatlardboy13]

yessssss. finally beat 8 after 282 flippin deaths. that level's a b*@tc#.

[fatlardboy13]

i'm always running into the stationary blocks in level 9.

[Matt_V]

level 23 658 deaths

I have no idea how to do this one, its so hard

Its really annoying to not be able to listen to any music or anything because I always have to leave this game open and the stupid tune is really starting to annoy me because there is no way to turn it off

[Matt_V]

lvl 28/30, 955 deaths.

I'm gonna do it!!!

[someunicyclist]

level 10, 259 deaths
i give up

[Matt_V]

Last Level!!!

26110

[Matt_V]

Finally Beat it!

26112

[dudewithasock]

How are you ranked on the score-board?

Oh, congrats!! You have a lot of patience.

[Matt_V]

How are you ranked on the score-board?

Oh, congrats!! You have a lot of patience.

The top 10 on the scored board have like 15 deaths or less. The top two both have 0 deaths. So I'm not very high on it...

[dudewithasock]

Lol, stupid hackers.

[rockford uni]

level one 18 deahts : (

[Sprida]

Wow, you have far more patience than I. I salute you!
Lol you call it patience I call it boredom :p

Finally Beat it!
Dam you, you beat me to finishing it, but i'm gonna do it in less deaths.

[dan de man]

what are the red dots?

[1wheelwonder]

IT'S SOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!:eek:

[Matt_V]

what are the red dots?

they are just like blue dots, but they are red on lvl 30

[Sprida]

Level 30 is pretty frustrating but I did it eventually.
26114

[hungry4uni]

Sprida, Matt V.,

How in the world did you beat level 23, I's sooooo hard. HELP!!!

[Sprida]

Is 23 the one with the spinning x and it stops and changes direction?

[hungry4uni]

Is 23 the one with the spinning x and it stops and changes direction?
yeah, that's the one!! grrrrrrr

[Sprida]

Well the x always does 1 full reveloution then changes direction, if you time it right you move into the middle just before it changes direction giving you a tiny bit more time to get in there. You have to pay attention to when it's going to change though, so look at which line is pointing up when the change occurs, apart from that it's all patience and timing.

[maestro8]

You have good hand-eye coordination.
FTFY. That's all this Flash toy requires. No patience whatsoever.

Learning to unicycle takes patience.

[habbywall]

FTFY. That's all this Flash toy requires. No patience whatsoever.

Learning to unicycle takes good core strength.

FTFY
Why are you such a jerk to almost everyone on these forums?
It seems that "FTFY" has been the first 4 letters of your recent posts lately.
Can you do anything besides "correct" people?

[Matt_V]

yeah 23 was really hard. I found that the hardest part was getting to the green square at the end after I got all the dots, it took me tons of tries and im not sure why because it shouldn't really be any harder. But ya sprida was exactly right, you just have to watch which one points up, then go when it passes you so that you can get all the way around without getting killed. You will have to go around a few times to get all the dots, and probably in different directions to.

Good job on having so little deaths.. was that your first time through? or had you done most of the levels before?

[dudewithasock]

FTFY. That's all this Flash toy requires. No patience whatsoever.

Learning to unicycle takes patience.

:rolleyes:

I beg to differ. Sure, you need hand eye coordination, but the most coordinate kid with ADD isn't gonna last long. And at I honestly think this game takes more patience than learning to unicycle - this just gets harder and harder, unicycling gets exponentially easier past a certain point.

[maestro8]

Why are you such a jerk to almost everyone on these forums?
Not everyone, just you. 'Cause you're special. ;)

It seems that "FTFY" has been the first 4 letters of your recent posts lately.
Sorry, you're wrong. Again. Based on a quick look over my last 50 or so posts, the first four letters are most often "The ".

Can you do anything besides "correct" people?
Um, I can ride a unicycle.

One of my "job skills" is finding and correcting other's mistakes. I get paid big bucks to do this! You guys are getting my services here for free... so don't take it for granted.

remind me never to insult you

[maestro8]

I beg to differ. Sure, you need hand eye coordination, but the most coordinate kid with ADD isn't gonna last long.
It seems this game is designed for kids with ADD. An ADD kid isn't going to take the time to decipher a puzzle, map out a dungeon, or probe an enemy to find his weaknesses. He's going to play a game like this, where there is zero learning curve: either you live or die, and your mistakes and/or successes are immediately gratified.

IMHO, a "hard" game makes you think. This game is about reflexes.

Go ahead, call me a game snob. I deserve it.

[dudewithasock]

Not a game snob, you just have your own opinions. I still call game this hard, but I still agree that games with the characteristics you mentioned are a lot more fun. There're different types of 'difficult'.

[Sprida]

FTFY. That's all this Flash toy requires. No patience whatsoever.
I completely disagree with you. Yes it does require hand-eye coordination, but it also requires some patience. You can't just rush the game or you are bound to get absoloutely no were.

Good job on having so little deaths.. was that your first time through? or had you done most of the levels before?
No it wasn't my first time through, it was about my fifth, so i could get to about level 16 with zero deaths.

[sutton629]

i got to level 12 then class ended. i cried

[this end up]

ok did i miss something? what does FTFY stand for/mean? what about IMHO? what does IMHO mean?

[SHAY_CAM]

Woot i beat it! only 120 deaths.

[this end up]

congrats dude, you are a far better player than i

[maestro8]

ok did i miss something? what does FTFY stand for/mean? what about IMHO? what does IMHO mean?

[hungry4uni]

[Matt_V]

help me on 25!!!

which one was it?

[hungry4uni]

never mind that one, I just beat it, I need help on 26, the one where there is a _ and a v with dot's on the end of both

[Matt_V]

never mind that one, I just beat it, I need help on 26, the one where there is a _ and a v with dot's on the end of both
You have to go up to the top of the green square and hold up so that you stay tight against the upper wall. Then just press over to make your way up each part of the V, you have to time it just right, it really helps to hold up the whole time so that you snap up around the corners. Then to get back down you just do the same thing but on the bottom. And to get the bottom 2 dots you just do the same thing that you do in almost every level. just time it right and make your way over to them.

do you ever have to stop wil going up the V or do you hold down up/left up/right?

[Matt_V]

do you ever have to stop wil going up the V or do you hold down up/left up/right?

I think you just have to hold up and tap left/right so that you "snap" around the corners. You just tap left/right at the perfect time. And you don't have to hold up but I found it much easier to.

[hungry4uni]

I accidently quit out, so I started again and now I'm on 28, NEED HELP!!

It's freaking hard!!:0

[hungry4uni]

I beat the GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
971 deaths!

[Ducttape]

I beat the GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just lost.... you suck... the game sucks... you can never win the game, it isn't possible...

[hungry4uni]

hey guys, last level

[hungry4uni]

I beat it again

[habbywall]

I tried level 23 for a while then gave up ending with 233 deaths.

[padst3r]

I beat it again
hahaha you cant fool people you just copied the image from youtube

[Matt_V]

hahaha you cant fool people you just copied the image from youtube

I believe him... he has his name typed into it. I just posted a screen shot when I first beat it and I didn't even have my name on it

[padst3r]

I believe him... he has his name typed into it. I just posted a screen shot when I first beat it and I didn't even have my name on it

Yeah the last level is soooooooo hard to beat so i think he just photoshopped it.

[Matt_V]

Yeah the last level is soooooooo hard to beat so i think he just photoshopped it.

it isn't really that hard. it took me more deaths then any other level, but I had a system where I went up the left side as soon as a big block passed me, then just went down to the middle dot, and then to the top right, then bottom right and back to the green square. I just had to keep trying untill I got lucky and the big blocks didn't line up because then it's pretty much impossable to avoid them. and there is pretty much no way to predict where they will be.

[UniDudeDX]

i cant even get to the 2nd level....meaning i cant beat the first...

[UniDudeDX]

okay...im on level 4...its not possible...im convinced.

[Matt_V]

okay...im on level 4...its not possible...im convinced.

acually lvl 4 is fairly straightforward. You just run around the circle and make sure you get all the dots, and go fast enough and go on the right angles to avoid the blue dots.

wait till number 5, its easy but really annoying, and even more annoying when you screw up at the end.

[UniDudeDX]

okay...im on 6...=hard.

[padst3r]

i got to level 16 a few days ago then gave up.Its a real time waster but i suppose its good when you have nothing to do

[lpounds]

It's pretty funny how just one post can influence how other people spend hours of their time.

[SHAY_CAM]

I can get to 15 with no deaths now...

[this end up]

I can get to 15 with no deaths now...


can you say obsessed?

[hansc]

This, my friend, is a hard game. Your flash toy is suitable for infants and the elderly, but La Mulana is a hard game for veteran gamers.

Veteran gamers still play Zork I, II, & III and like it.

Have any of you ascended NetHack (http://www.nethack.org/)? Not saying it's the hardest game ever, but the learning curve is in my opinion pretty steep if you don't read spoilers.

As for the flash game, it's a nice concept. However, I wouldn't label it "Hardest game in the world".

[Zzagg]

Level 26 is evil!
At least if the green area was a real checkpoint it would be possible...
I can catch each yellow dots but not in a row:(
It's certainly feasable but doesn't fit a normal social life :(

[SHAY_CAM]

can you say obsessed?
NO!, just quick fingers =)

[Zzagg]

level 26 => done:cool:
level 27 => done:cool:
level 28 in progress:confused:

[aleksi.palola]

Lvl 8 deaths 37, couldn´t play anymore, nerves got wrecked.

[habbywall]

I'm on level 28.
Once I realized you could go to the bottom level 27 got really easy.

[habbywall]

I'm on level 29 now!

[habbywall]

I just beat it. It is a lot of deaths but it took up 5 hours of my time too. I'm more than happy now.

[forrestunifreak]
