The Woes are coming... and there's nothing you can do to stop them. Instead, hold them off as long as you can before they destroy your heart and corrupt all that is good...

Enjoy! Mocha Man is working on more sounds so I'll release a new version when those are done (right now there isn't very many).

I got the high score

So many good games are coming out recently:
Return of S9
And this!

I love it... except for the icon.

The graphics all fit and I love that there is an online high score table

[TurquoiseStar]

Heh, 1216. You did a lot better than me JJ

Interesting idea, YMM.

[YoMamasMama]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be trying to stay on top of the highscore board for as long as I can (futile, I know).

BTW about unlockables... there's 14 of them:
-2 Modes
-6 Special Attacks
-6 "Surprises" =P

And the game tracks over 40 stats!

[JJProductions]

Here is a glitch:

If you have one score on the highscores, then try to submit another, it wont let you
EDIT: Nevermind, you must refresh the page

I unlocked brute...

An amazingly addictive game, 10/10 keep it up!

[Cosmic]

Awsome. I liked the old one, I love this one. I'm playing now and aiming for a high score

[RhysAndrews]

I got the pleasure of playing it before it was released on the GMC ^.^
I rate it 10/10; Because it's a FUN game.. And i rate games only by the fun.

[BBaller]

Nice work YMM. I've just unlocked the first 5 unlockables on my first run, heh. Custom mode seems like a good place to sharpen your skills. I'll be playing this one for a while.

[The Music Guy]

Hmm...the gameplay bears a resemblence to one of my older games...though there are quite a few more features.

It's definitely fun. Simplicity is always the key to good entertainment!
Very nice menus and other GUI-related things.

Three big smilies for this one! (That's worth more than three normal smilies, btw...)

Hmm...the gameplay bears a resemblence to one of my older games...

And the gameplay also bears a resemblence to one of YMM's older games! =O =P

Great job as usual, YMM. I've already made my comments... =P Also, if anyone likes the lowest/highest time stats in Useless (for some reason), those were my idea. <_<

The "surprises" are very nice (only got one so far >_>), but there's a bug when you level up with one on. >_> It's blaringly obvious, too. ...And ugly. =P

Third place! =D But now I've gotta claim a spot on the Hard list. >_>

[The Music Guy]

Is that one dated earlier than 2003? Well, wether or not it is, I just wanted to point out the fact that they seem to be based on the same general idea; I wasn't going to take it to court or anything.

[YoMamasMama]

Fixed that bug and reuploaded, vgboy, don't see how I missed that before =\

[Nin10doman]

Wow, kickass game, ymm. The gameplay reminds me of a project I had going for while. I love the RPG-style leveling system, the specials, and the unlockables. The online highscore system is also very cool.

Great game.

[Gimpy Matey]

35493. Take that, me7356 >_>

I've betatested this game since almost the start and it's gone a long way from the first beta I got, I can tell you that. =P

I was the one who suggested Custom Mode, for those of you lucky enough to have it.

BTW - on the highscore table - Fiend_Penguin is also me.

I've been waiting for this topic, the games absolutely wicked, simple idea mixed with a.. well, sorta depressing storyline...

I've unlocked a few specials, and hard mode... wow, i woulda thought unlockables are suppose to helpful to the game:P

For an amazing game, 9/10
for the point you fix bugs goddam fast and great storyline, +2=P
