Worlds 6/9 completed

Frustratingly near-perfect. The developer's coy and condescending reaction to the objective truth that this game's "difficulty" is broken enemy spawn non-design prevents it from being the casual PC platformer masterpiece it so aspires to be.

You can't "Get Good" at Vividlope, not on stages where arbitrary enemy spawn acts in defiance of "uninterrupted-flow" gameplay loops. Instead each run is the crank of a slot machine arm; fingers crossed for favorable spawn patterns that you can awkwardly dance around.

Much like the multitude of other video game "creepypasta" horror that exists within the digital soup, B3313 is yet another title that takes you for an idiot for daring to dream about a world that lies out of bounds.
