Player Adventure is an increasingly horrible and frustrating game made by Black Squirrel in the space of a couple of hours. It stars a badly drawn Mario sprite called "Player", and his adventures to save the world.
Overview
"Player" lives in a world which is completely in black and white (Although other characters from other worlds appear in full colour). One day for some reason the black and white world starts to "screw up", resulting in horrible graphics problems, lack of sound and random pieces of text being pasted around. Being the last functioning sprite in the area other than "The Dragoon of Mystery", it is up to Player to save the world.
GamePlay
At the start of the game, Player is briefed by "the Dragoon of Mystery", who, although is unable to speak normally, manages to tell Player of two quests; the "Q" Mission and the "R" mission. In order to beat what little game there is, the player must beat both, otherwise it is incredibly difficult (Moreso).
The Q Mission
The Q Mission makes the player fight Mario, after random Mario voice clips are released from a cell. Mario gets angry as Player is not affected by his voice, so sends down hundreds of badly drawn bullet bills, but gets caught up in them and dies. The game then stops itself after this due to it making no sense.
The R Mission
The R Mission is far more difficult. Player has to save pirate world by using the power of a badly drawn wooden plank which is not seen after the start. After beating a frustrating platforming excersise, Player is asked a series of questions about the Q mission, most of which can only be answered from studying the Q mission carefully. Some questions are almost impossible too. By failing the questions Player is taken to the land of failure, and will have to repeat the platforming part again.
Trivia
- The whole game was made in less than three hours.
- "The Dragoon of Mystery" is actually a poorly drawn Fygar, a character from DigDug. It also makes many references to things not related to the game at all, such as the moon crashing down on the seventh day (Based on The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask), going out for ice-cream, having toe massages by attractive Women and the idea of Player being "Moosed".
- In order to progress through the Q mission, you must press Q. Likewise you must press R to progress through the R mission.
- The idea for Q and R came from the first two keys Black Squirrel pressed when the game was in production.
- There is a random Command & Conquer reference in the Q mission.
- Some of the R mission's questions are impossible to answer without guessing. They include exactly what level number the player is on, and one question so long it cannot be read due to it not fitting on-screen.
