Robot Unicorn Attack (Sugar Wiki)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:29, 27 December 2013

The following are Subjective Tropes relating to Robot Unicorn Attack.

Colbert Bump: The game got even more plays when it was featured on an article in The Escapist. Similarly, the amount of people checking the original song out after they've heard it here is astonishing.
Crowning Music of Awesome: See Ear Worm.
Ear Worm: Oh, yes. The song's "Always (2009 Mix)" by Erasure, BTW.
- It's so catchy you're willing to forgive it for Rhyming With Itself in the first verse: "Open your eyes, I see / Your eyes are open / Wear no disguise for me / Come into the open".
Family Unfriendly Aesop: You can chase your dreams all you want; failure is inevitable.
- Among some of the starting messages are "A fiery death awaits you", "Persistence is futile" and possibly the best one "You will fail" - short and to the point.
Grand Theft Auto Effect: Oh my God this game's song is awesome! Erasure? What's that?
Hell Is That Noise: In the Heavy Metal edition, the screech of the piranhas that appear every 5,000 points.
Memetic Mutation: As the most AWESOME game ever.
- Which leads to Hype Aversion and Hype Backlash.
  - Those people are just jealous because they aren't in HARMONY.
Most Wonderful Sound: The glissando when the unicorn double jumps brings a smile to anyone's face.
- The song itself. By the second time you've played it, if you're not singing along with the chorus, then you have no heart.
Older Than They Think: A lot of people think the song "Always" was written just for this game- it's been around since the '90s.
- Paradoxically, the song is also Newer Than They Think, considering how many people think of the song as eighties synthpop.
Surprise Difficulty
Tastes Like Diabetes:
- Robot Unicorn Attack does not Taste Like Diabetes. Diabetes tastes like Robot Unicorn Attack. It's all part of the game's charm, though.
- This video too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F Ua Kx Fjl Opw It's just... awww!
What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs: If you don't think it Tastes Like Diabetes, then this probably comes to mind...
