I did not lose power from the Christmas Monsoon but I did not account for Imgur having technical difficulties.
Seeing T*HQ here does not fill me with any hope.
For the record, I picked this game because it's a Game Boy game and they tend to be short.
That music. I think it’s supposed to be the Ren and Stimpy theme music, but it could very well be the music from Maniac Mansion after opening up the game file and jumping up and down on the keyboard. Whatever it is, it barely sounds like music. We are not off to a good start here.
I feel like one second is a decent compromise between “you can read the text” and “the gif doesn't look like shit, in fact, it looks fairly decent.”
We are also treated to a painful Gameboy rendition of The Blue Danube for his spacewalk. It’s not quite as cacophonous as the intro, at least.
Back to the intro music. Lovely.
Can you find the hazards? Spoiler: the buttons, the toaster oven, and the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker is offscreen from where you have to jump and it spits out a soundwave just as soon as it appears on screen. This causes you to get hit. The buttons only hurt you when they’re in the up position but they move much too fast to simply walk through. Jumping is sluggish and floaty but I'm going to attribute that to the low gravity setting and not to shitty programming.
Stimpy can hock up a hairball to attack enemies but since there are very few enemies and very many hazards, you’re not going to use it that much.
Standing in the bathtub water spray hurts you but you need to climb on the bathtub to jump over the barricade.
SEEEEEEEEEEEEE! SEEEEEEEEEE!
That's the sound eyeballs make.
Finding a TV with three cans of powdered toast in your posession allows you to play a game with Muddy Mudskipper. If you get all three right, you are invincible for a longer time. Don't just use it; abuse it.
Log has betrayed us!
This is one of the many many problems with this game. You have to climb up this enormous control system. As you can see, it's not exactly apparent what you can and can't jump on.
Quick! Can you find the platforms?
these pod things are platforms but only if you land on the very top of one.
In lieu of a boss fight, we get these brief timed segments. Be sure to jump over the spinning satellite dish! If you run out of time, you have to start from the beginning of the first stage.
I forgot to screenshot it and there's no fucking way I'm going to play through the first level again.
Very few enemies unless you’re playing as Ren, anyway. Which is too bad because Ren’s attack SUCKS. It's a slap, which I refuse to dignify with words like "feisty" or "pain" because it's not worthy of that, and it's inside your hitbox.
Oh, yeah, you also can’t slap while jumping.
One time, the saliva tree's droplets fell down in a pattern that I could not possibly avoid.
Eightballs fall from the sky! How remarkably funny.
If you slap this guy, you take damage. If you try to jump over him, he moves back and you take damage.
It’s long and you have to anticipate where the shooters are and then hope the hitboxes don’t screw you over. There are at least eight of them so you can’t just take the hits.
The problem is that Ren and Stimpy take up a large portion of the screen. I tend to gripe about platformers on the Super NES usually but that’s not to say that other systems aren’t guilty of this. Except for the NES; I don’t think it could handle such large sprites.
If you try to slap while on Log, you fall to your death. Good to know.
At least the time limit makes sense from a story standpoint.
I don't think Stimpy's ever heard of the expression "don't shit where you eat."
This place seems to be a parody of the Death Star, going by the light panels.
but it's all bathroom themed.
This place isn't very interesting. There's some heaps of buildings. Alas, you have to use Ren and his pimp slap.
You have to climb up.
Stimpy's litterbox?
Where you find Stimpy apparently eating the litter.
Ren looks like he was drawn in MS Paint.
They just shout "Ren!" and "You EEEEDIOT!" at each other for a while.
The end. I recommend this as much as I recommend Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon, that is to say, not at all. But it's still better than Million Dollar EXTREEEEEEEEEME!!!!!!!!!
burning question: When was the last time you heard anyone talk about Ren and Stimpy?
