Game of the Week Winner

Edited By Pixelthief on 8/8/2007

<disclaimer>Paradoxysm is a trap-daring dungeon-faring adventure game with absolutely nothing in common with Paroxysm.</disclaimer>

Right? >.>

A good few minutes of trap-raiding goodness, brought to you in exactly TWO different colors! Take control of a nervous adventurer named Pooby and attempt to navigate the trap filled dungeon, barrel-rolling your way to victory! You have an infinite amount of lives and infinite amount of time, but that doesn't stop it from being challenging! This is my entry for the ~48 hour competition.

CONTROLS:

Arrow Keys: Move
Shift: Jump

Sadly my best time is 00:08:31, with 35 deaths. And I'm the maker >

Haha, great stuff.

I love the jumping animation x)

What could be implemented is a fullscreen-option and mod music instead of MIDI ones- and it would be perfect c:

Mother of pete. I had to give up, I got to the area just below the second screenshot.

heh, thats actually the 2nd to the last save point.

I figured as long as its short, and you get infinite lives, I could go stir-crazy with the difficulty

Is it even possible to win?

Posted by Pixelthief

8th August, 2007

Oh yeah, its possible, but its tough. The real trick is; be patient. Lots of the traps seem to have so many blades whirring at the same time that it seems impossible, but if you find a safe place to sit and watch them, you can usually find a pattern. All the axes spin at different speeds, so once you can recognize the pattern, you can simply walk through most of the traps. Several of them leave areas inbetween the circlular paths where you can stand unharmed, so just look carefully at where they pass.

5 thumbs up before its even approved

Yeah, I actually wasn't even going to make anything for the compo, but I suffered some severe insomnia last night, so I ended up entirely creating this game between about 11 PM and 8 AM.

Glad you guys like it, ill get around to writing some reviews for the other ones

Good design decision giving infinite lives/time. Always rolling was annoying at first, but the traps lent themselves well to the controls.

22:10, 93 deaths. Most of which were spent being impatient trying to get to the 3 blades at the end. Stupid timing on the lavaball/ smasher

If you have trouble with those last 3 blades, heres a hint:
Look for a spot where you're completely safe to stand, inbetween a couple of the blades. Then you can just walk through whenever the remaining 2 line up at the same time.

Awsome game. The movment in combination with the level design and main idea makes it a winner!

Heh, I didn’t like this one. I found the movement rather annoying, and the game feels inferior to Paroxysm in every way. I hated the music track. But I see it was made for a 48 hours compo. Not a fan of such compos.

The game was fun to some extent, but the clumsy movement just killed it for me after some 3-4 save points. I know, I know, you'll say it's part of the gameplay. But it just doesn't sit well with me.

Didn't vote.

I got through the infamous 3 blade scene, but after that savepoint, I just couldn't finish it :/ I went mad

Hahahaha, uh, the games over when you reach the part where it says "CLEAR TIME: 00:00:00". After that, its just a little "paradox" of an infinitely scrolling area. You can run around all you want
