Let's play TUIT2: Stranded on Itchbay!

Post by Bonevelous »

You would think a sequel would be better, right?

...

...Right?

...

Even calling this an understatement is an understatement.

Wow. And to think the original was bad. Let's take a look, shall we?

Image
I miss the library graphics the original had already, although the mine cart does give some relief.

Image
So, let me get this straight. Commander Keen entered a world of infinite yellow void where buildings are made of spoons and badly recolored Keen 6 platforms through a melting door from a world of nothing but radio actively red liquid, and his enemies are bad guys ripped from Real Keen Player. This is what you call a "mind twister!"

Let's dive right in, shall we?

Image
Stealing from other fangames already. Shame on this. (although, at least the guy made these graphics. Or at least, worked with these previously.)

Well, at least we're hearing an actual adlib Keen cli-
Image
...Why is the Lemmings theme playing? How much more out of place could the music be? Also, that font is horrible.

Image
Now we're listening to a very quiet version of the eat your veggies song. The only reason I know it has actual music at all is because it does have bits that are audible with my default speaker volume.

Also, I love the hallucinogenic eyes staring at Keen.

Image
And now we're listening to a different Lemmings song. Can this game make up its mind?

Let's look at the credits.
Image
I SAID CREDITS, NOT ASTEROIDS!!! :x

...What do you mean these ARE the credits?

That's right, I have to shoot asteroids to get credits. Judging by the name "mptkcoin[1]," we're listening to Mario music. The worst part?
Image
It doesn't even seem to work. Great.

I don't want to Quit, so let's look at the High Scores.
Image
MORE LEMMINGS MUSIC?!?! :eek

...What would Keen look like as a Lemming?
Image
Close enough.

Let's Play Frogger!
Image
...What is this mutation I'm listening to? It's looping like music, which sounds really awful.

Also, got to love the mutant frog and cars.

*Later*

I GOT 9 POINTS! YES! I WON! (Yes, I did have to read the source to figure out that nine points was victory.) AND...

"KOMMANDAR KEEN WINZ!!"
Oh, lovely. He stole the really squeaky voice from Mortal Keenbat. Why? It sounds like a nasally-voiced rat after inhaling a bank vault full of helium!

After waiting a little, I get a message.
Image
I don't feel like I've accomplished anything.

Is Space Invaders any better?
Image
No, it's not.

...

You know, somebody really needs to make a rap song out of this looping noise. (Yes, it plays here to.)

...Alright, alright.

...*ahem*... *bows to the audience*

In the first bad game, there was a Pig Stun
It later turned out that it's just a Big Gun
There was a guy named Commander Mean
Revealed himself as Mort to Commander Keen, dig it!

In the next game you feel like a Lemm'
Try to solve why this guy stole from them
You'll hear this background music in two Mini-games
And if you ask me that's pretty lame, dig it!

Image
You can shoot out the window in this Space Invader
Ask me to play this, I'll say "see you later"
Lazy graphics and nasal mice
I think this game's so lame that it'd melt ice, dig it!

Image
The ship's upside down for no good reason
And has a big hole, and that's bad this season
'Cause the land's all red and the border's bland
He could made a better game out of sand, dig it!

(Nice library music.)

Image
...I give up on rapping. It's too challenging to try and come up with lyrics for this terrible scene with Keen walking on lava into a world made of blue and brown striped blocks.

Image
The first time around, I actually died because the bad guys gave me no chance to do anything. How fair. Also, when Keen dies, he twirls out of existence instead of dying like he would in the games. Also, why are we listening to library music that sounds like Yoshi's Island music? (I checked the file, and it's almost certainly not: the name of the file says "circus," and it really doesn't sound like any circus music I've heard... Although I haven't ever been to a circus. :o )

Image
I just love how the enemies look like bad chalk board doodles.

Image
Ok, so the guy's trying to be Keen, so I give him credit for that much. However, there' not much Keen around this place. The terrain was also completely flat.

See you next time!

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol Nice let's play Bonevelous! :rollin

man, that game is so lazy!

Your LP probs had more effort - nice rap there, what's it like in "da hood"? 8)

Um, those wristwatch games, were they ripped off from somewhere too? Or did someone actually put time in to that?! (how ever short that time may have been)

I already did, the word "This" links to it. But to make life easier, I'll link it here, to. :)

Lazy is an understatement. It's like he put in a ton of anti-effort! :crazy
kuliwil wrote:nice rap there, what's it like in "da hood"? 8)
I just kinda made up the lyrics as I ventured through the screenshots. It would have the "music" and a drum beat in the background looping over and over, with the beepy-boopy "music" stopping whenever I talk and playing when I stop. :freud

I'm not sure, but I think he made them himself. There's also a buggy paddle war that I forgot to mention, but it doesn't have that "music" (or any noise at all, at least that I'm aware of) looping in it.

I just downloaded and played this. Christ, I can't believe I got that far. I was aggravated every single moment I played.

Edit: just recorded some footage (without sound, sorry). Will upload to YouTube.

I hate every moment of it too. :dead ...

Although this "song" makes a pretty neat rap beat.

Play the sound file on loop.
Now let's rap again.

Image
This paddle war is really quiet
Good thing this game doesn't make you buy it
The AI's dumb, doesn't look for the ball
If you get in the score that the start of its fall, dig it!

The ball sometimes bounces from side to side
If that wasn't so annoying I'd let that slide
Get one point and see your score start to rise,
the ball goes in over and over, which isn't wise, dig it!

Level one was completely flat
Just as flat as a welcome mat
Level two just kinda drools
Level two just breaks all the rules, dig it!

Just cause I forgot to mention that part. :dopekeen

Image
I can't wait.

Image
So, the entrance is shrinking, and we're listening to a bad Midi rendition of Classical Gas in the boring cave level. Wonderful.

This section is so boring that I can barely make anything funny out of it!
Image
Apparently, Keen's Negative-Colors gun works just as well as his neural stunner.

Image
Why isn't this exciting?

I got stuck in a wall, so let's start.... You know what? No. I'm not going through this. IT'S TOO BORING! I'M GOING TO MAKE MYSELF GET A GAME OVER!!!
Image
Err- wha?
Image
Keen: GREAT SCOTT NOOO-
Image
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!*
Image
...Game over. That was so overplayed.

Image
I can hardly believe I'm playing this again. :x

Image
This cart ride is actually a little cool, if also very choppy and corny.

Image
Ugliest platforms ever.

Image
What's this? LIVES!!

Image
I have a feeling I'll regret that.

Image
Once we're out of there, we-
Image
HUH?!?!?!
Yep, on my first time (after my last play through long ago) in this realm, this caught me by surprise.
Image
See the circled area? That's where they came from.

"Who are you?"
Keen: Who are you?
Guy: Exactly.
Keen: What?
Guy: That's my name.
Keen: No, who are you?
Guy: Exactly.
Keen: AAARRGHH!!!!

Joke provided by a guy who can't actually make that line funny with any other method.

Image
"We?We are the annoying Forky&Spoony!Here to annoy you!"
Hmm... Wasn't there a different Spoony somewhere?

...Oh, right, the Spoony One! Even though I personally don't watch his videos, I have heard of him, even I had to do a little research to remember what he looked like....
Image
...Huh. He must have... got a haircut in this game or something. They look totally alike... :confused

[/sarcasm]

Also, he looks more like a "Shovelly" than a "Spoony."

Image
"Yeah right.By the time I'm done with you, I'll be using you as silverware."
Wouldn't they be annoying silverware? They might be really noisy or messy.

Image
"We do not resolve to violence, human.But we do get tough after you get thru our buildings!"
...THIS IS SO BORING!!! :x

Image
BORING!!!!!!

Image
WEIRD AND BORING!!!!

We'll trek though this wreck next time, folks.

Edit: video footage of the game up to that purple level. No sounds though, sorry.

It's not a mod, it's a fan game.

Anyway, this is one of the reasons I don't play any fan games... :dead2

Because it can be funny to crack on really crappy games? A good Let's Play is always entertaining.

Thank you. :D

Image
...*Sigh*....

Image
...*Yawn*...

Image
Oh, cool, moving spoons... [/sarcasm]
...*falls asleep*...

Image
...zzzzz.... *snort* wha- Ugh!... Well that's a terribly ugly picture of what you do.

Image
The platforming in this level make this level highly frustrating. According to the source, I'm supposed to go all the way to the bottom. However, I'm skipping this level because I hate it that much. Plus, the chosen library song is dumb. Good thing running the save room then saving allows me to start as if I beat the level the next time I run the whole game.

Image
Good grief, finally. I was never able to see past that stupid level because I could never actually beat it, and now with the miracle of the source and The Games Factory... I can finally see what lies ahead! Yes... YES!!! YESS!!! YESS!!!

...

Moving on.
Image
These guys certainly do their job, because being stopped in my tracks is quite annoying.
"Well,human,you were good enough to do that building."
I skipped it!

"But the next one is much harder!"
I'm not so sure that's true.

Image
This doesn't look good.

Image
Oh man, now we're in a pink universe where buildings are made of forks! Also, more Lemmings music. Speaking of Lemmings, it would have been relieving to see Keen explode into confetti of pixels whenever he died, or have the ability to dig through the platforms in this game, or...

Image
Is this possibly unbeatable?!

...

Could this be the... *gasp*... END?!?!?! :eek

...

What are we waiting for? LET'S GO!!
Image
No, but I didn't see those spikes they hid until I hit them. Lucky me.

And I made a discovery. I got very close to the edge having wonderful memories of Lemmings and expected to hit a solid edge, and although I didn't discover this that way, I did wonder if it could be done because I got awfully close to the edge...
Image
...AND I COULD!! I COULD GO OFF THE EDGE AND SKIP THE WHOLE LEVEL!! Works on either side.

Image
Who would have known that such a potentially frustrating level would turn out to be a breather? :)

Image
This was a triumph.
I'm writing a note here... "Huge success."
...Even though you're playing a bad fangame.

Image
I spotted Spoony and his friend Forky before I got ninja'd by them this time. If you can do the same, you win an internet.

Image
"We warned you,human."
I'd probably be able to take you more seriously if you weren't talking silverware, and I didn't normally imagine you (I would assume it's Spoony talking.) having a really squeaky voice.

"Now you shall suffer our wrath!"
Oh noes! Wat will I du!!!? (insert appropriate lolcat)

Image
Wow. And I thought the boss fights from the first game were unimpressive.

Also, you've got to love how these guys are badly hand-drawn on the map, but they're just photos of actual silverware in this fight.
Image
YEAH I WON I WON TEH FIGHT I-
Image
...Am I fighting Weebles? Because no matter how many times I knock these guys down, they just pop right back up (or at least as far as I'm willing to fight these guys without losing my dignity with another Game Over from their counter-attacks).

Image
Oh, it's one of those puzzle bosses. This time, you walk across them. Wonderful.

Image
"It was beginner's luck,human."
"It definitely had nothing to do with lazy programming!"

"Next time,we'll get you for sure!"
Obviously we'll be seing these guys again. Probably pretty soon.

Image
We'll see what this is like later.

But I don't think GLADOS did ever think about this sort of cruelty. :-D
