Hey some free ideas for people...

There were plenty of ads for toys and stuff that promised way more then they could possibly deliver. Such as X-Ray Glasses, SeaMonkeys and stuff like this and this.

There were often ads in comics from the 80's (and i would guess at least late 70's too) for the "Olympic Sales Club" which was basically a pyramid scheme for kids. Kids would be sent stationary stuff which they would sell to people and then be able to get cash or prizes based on the amount they sold.
Here's a comic based ad of theirs...most of their ads though were just a page full of items you could win and how many items sold they were worth.

If you're implying Lastman youre mistaken. A flash has to get a daily award or frontpaged to be included in the monthly vote.

How does that make any sense? Do you normally destroy jokes?

And i didn't include music in Lastman because i figured the people who would be playing it for long periods of time would want to listen to their own.
Music has played important parts in my previous games....but you have to know when it doesn't belong.

lol yeah.....my response to friends who play it for the first time and ask if there is checkpoints has always been "Yeah there's lots of checkpoints....but you only have one life."

And since we're analyzing Lastman reviews in here and i cant reply to reviews (javascript is broken for "reply" link and review voting for me)...

Hard games need to be games where you CAN overcome any challenge the first time, it is just very difficult. With this game, that is not the case.

Oh shit he's read something by Richard Rouse....i'm in for it now!

What you basically do with this game is "change the rules as you go". Which is, simply put, breaking one of the fundamental rules of game design. All enemies and pieces of the environment need to be 100% consistent in their behaviors, no matter how much you want to change it to make it hard. In the very first part of the game, for example, one hedgehog enemy, when it reaches the end of a platform, turns around. While the other falls to the ground beneath it. This is a sign of a poorly designed game...

And he just called SMB a poorly designed game.....guess he forgot that enemies did that in SMB too....or he's never played it.

...as you felt that, in order to make the game more challenging, this one hedgehog would have to fall to the ground. The player, therefore expecting a hedgehog to NOT fall due to the behavior of the one and only previous hedgehog enemy, does not stand a chance in preventing an inevitable death the first time through.
My criticism is entirely meant to be constructive. If you want to make a challenging game, use something like the original Ninja Gaiden (2004 Xbox action game) as a model.

This is where my jaw dropped the first time reading it and then i raged a bit and felt trolled.
I'm going to repeat those word for dramatic effect...
the original Ninja Gaiden (2004 Xbox action game)
...and then i lawl'd because he used Ninja Gaiden as an example of a fair game. I've never played the xbox version but it must be really weaksauce.

That game is immensely hard, but with EVERY challenge, there is a way to overcome it, and a skilled player stands a chance of overcoming every challenge the first time. Making a game difficult in this way is hard, yes, but it is the only way to make a challenging game actually rewarding. You claim to have looked at the classic hardcore platformers as examples, but while your game is hard, the kind of challenge it offers is a completely different one. The only way a player will win is by playing your game over and over and over again, and every player who does that will win. In a sense, that makes this game not even hard, simply demanding.

Hey hands up people who've played this game over 200 times.....you've all won right? Lastman is simply demanding not hard.

You deserve a 5, because what you set out to do was good. However, your philosophy on game design needs work.

Fuck, i'll go read some more Richard Rouse.

No it isn't.....theres a few things that armadillo's do weirdly at certain situations and that's one of them.
Never figured out why but i left it since it didnt affect gameplay....the armadillo code is haunted.

Bah, I'll probably do it. I hate myself. Stay tuned for the vid.

If it's any consolation... getting back is somewhat easier than going forward... you may have noticed some useless warptiles.....theyre not actually useless.

Well known to myself and starogre....and i informed psychogoldfish about it but he doesnt seem to know either. It's a glitch with the NG Ad API that happens if the ad isnt loaded correctly multiple times.....which is why when ads are shown theres a 10 second wait period.

That would be qualified as a Godly speed run for this game.

On the second play on my video i only took 6 minutes to get where i died.....and given you've played that far you'd know i was only a few jumps away from the boss area. And i was going fairly slow.

I'm very fluent with the design therefor may be able to provide it all via visual recording. Yet, it took me MANY tries so this video will take a while. I'll give it a go again, hopefully I'll have it finished for today. I'll break up the recording in segments for failure removal. I can't guarantee this video walkthrough though so don't count on it if I'm unable. I'll see what I can do, I HATE recording gameplay. I'll get started on it now! ^^

No breaking up into segments!
If you can play it perfect it should only take about 5-8 minutes to reach the boss...no reason for segments.

I really wouldn't believe these people...even if they have medals.
It's far too early for anyone (even people great at platformers) to have mastered Lastman yet.
I think multiple people are using Flash manipulation software to cheat...the main giveaway seems to be that cheaters earn the secret medal before the Boss Beetle medal which is impossible without cheating.

...these people probably cheat on any game to obtain medals.

I think you guys have got the wrong thought in your mind about what games are.
When you play a game of chess youre trying to beat your opponent and he's trying to beat you.
Likewise when you play a videogame youre trying to beat the GAME DESIGNER.
Some game designers dont put up much of a fight i guess.....we have a godly advantage i guess so some are nice enough to give you a free pass...but you sure as hell shouldnt expect it.....you should expect your fight with the game designer to be a fight against a VENGEFUL GOD WHO WANTS YOU DEAD.

When you play Lastman you're fighting me....you're fighting me as i was a month ago designing this level and giggling at how surprising the next area would be.
And when you die i may not be there to see it in person but my spirit is in that game PLAYING THE GAME OVER MUSIC.

*keh keh keh keh, just as planned* it sings.

Not a glitch, stop running into it...being on past it's midpoint in the direction it is moving = death.

Also, the going above the top the screen sends you to the bottom and then you die.

Not a glitch, fear the warp ceiling zones.
