Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anticlimax Boss: The boss of world 4; despite his intimidating attack patterns, it's easy to rack up damage by juggling him.
  • Breather Level: After 4 or 5 levels in Atlantia and the puzzle realm, that are trully and brutaly Nintendo Hard, not to mention the captain. Level 4-4 goes much smother with a lot of weak enemies that make a return from the early levels that make great fuel for your Super meter.
  • Crazy Awesome
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Banson's Aria, Dirty Tricks and Go, Go, Golden Robo Q!. The entire soundtrack is pretty awesome, really.
  • Demonic Spiders: The skull enemies, particularly the ones with axes. And the dancers.
    • Any enemy that returns from the Puzzle as a block can become this, especially the skulls. Skull Enemies are extra bad because they can only be destroyed by other skull blocks. Meaning, once you kill a skull enemy, you'll have to kill two others so you can erase them in Puzzle Mode. If you don't, they'll just hang around until they return...
  • Ear Worm: Every song. Especially the puzzle themes, as you'll be hearing them a lot.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Lance Banson.
  • Goddamned Bats: At certain points in the levels, the game swarms you with lots of monsters. And they just keep coming...
  • Hell Is That Noise: The Inescapable Ambush theme, which signals the arrival of swarms of Goddamned Bats, and later, Demonic Spiders.
  • Memetic Mutation: TEA TIME, MOTHERFUCKAS!
  • Squick: The sound The Machine makes when it spews garbage blocks into the puzzle screen. It sounds scarily like real vomiting.
  • Surprise Difficulty: It's a colourful, cartoonish platformer/puzzle hybrid developed by EA's Casual division. You wouldn't think it would give Atlus games a run for their money, would you?
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: The Puzzle World's theme is a take on the classic Standard Snippet "Happy Go Lively".
  • That One Attack: The final boss' One-Hit Kill attacks, especially the one where it summons walls to crush you.
  • That One Boss: This game makes a good work of lacking ridiculously easy bosses, but everyone seems to agree that The Captain is the hardest of the bunch.
