Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:spinjam_2443.jpg\|frame\|[[Tagline\|Puzzled? You will be.]]]] ''Spin Jam'' is an [[Animesque]] [[Bizarre Puzzle Game]] for the [[~~Play Station~~PlayStation]], released in 2000 by Empire Interactive in both the US and Europe. For [[Nintendo Hard\|various]] [[Surprise Difficulty\|reasons]], it flopped at the time and [[Needs More Love]]. You play as one of a [[Ragtag Band of Misfits]] on a [[Excuse Plot\|quest]] to kick the ass of [[There Can Be Only One\|the others]] and earn the right to [[Save the World]] from the [[Ridiculously Cute Critter\|evil overlord from space]], [[Fluffy the Terrible\|Moolamb!]] [[Serious Business\|By throwing bubbles at giant flowers.]] Line 9: ---- {{tropelist}} ~~== Provides Examples Of: ==~~ * [[Announcer Chatter]]: The most basic sort, but oddly endearing with the greek chorus of children yelling it. "READY!" "YOU LOSE!" "YOU WIN!" You get a few more varied soundclips for [[Enemy Chatter]]. Line 17: * [[Bonus Feature Failure]]: What do you get after toughing your way through the expert story mode? A Powerpoint-style slideshow of [[Concept Art Gallery\|concept art]] set to the title theme music [[Most Annoying Sound\|repeated 3 times]]. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[[DY Fme YN 1 Fw Y]] ** Double failure- those exact same pictures can ALSO be unlocked by beating the infinately more brain-breakingly hard 100-round arcade mode with each character. [[Sarcasm Mode\|Yay, that was worthwhile.]] * [[Call a Rabbit Aa Smeerp]] / [[Non-Indicative Name]]: Moolamb. Not a cow or a sheep, but a [[Cartoon Creature\|red marshmallow]] that [[Crazy Awesome\|rides around on a meteor.]] * [[Character Portrait]]: Animated ones in the character select screen, taunting you compared to the [[Off-Model\|sprites themselves...]] * [[Contemptible Cover]]: The [[http://www.theoldcomputer.com/game-box-art-covers/Sony/Playstation-~~[[PS 1]]~~PS1/S/Spin~~<!-- 20Jam20~~%20Jam%20%5BU%5D%20%5BSLUS-01250%5D-front.jpg american one.]] Not bad out of context but suffers from a weird sort of [[~~AmericanKirbyIsHardcore~~American Kirby Is Hardcore\|American Kirby Is Sexy]] as that hot anthropomorphic citrus fruit with the side boob is actually a little girl antropomorphism in-game. ~~SexSells~~[[Sex Sells]] is not the best sort of strategy for an ages 3 and up puzzle game... ~~-->~~ * [[Critical Existence Failure]]: You can keep playing with a full field for hours as long as you keep blasting off bubbles before that very last grey one touches the centre spindle, then BOOM! Characters's defeat portraits vary from merely being bandaged head to toe to [[Disproportionate Retribution\|having their robotic arms ripped off...]] * [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: There are three backing tracks in this game and they [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_6ypKdH5NE make] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWM5pCJLqJo them] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlBeILLQARc count.] [[Bubble Bobble ~~(Video Game)~~\|Bust-A-Move]] would be proud. * [[Cyborg]]: Wigsey. [[Captain Obvious\|Even his hair is artificial!]] ** [[Swiss Army Appendage]] / [[Power Fist]] / [[Rocket Punch]] Line 29: * [[Difficulty Spike]]: [[Nintendo Hard\|Hoo boy.]] * [[Everythings Better With Bunnies]]: Booger the neon green [[Ugly Cute]] carrot-munching blob with helicopter ears. * [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Dinosaurs]]: Gillybones the purple ankylosaur. * [[Excuse Plot]]: A red marshmallow is threatening the universe somehow. Throw coloured balls at giant flowers to defeat him and beat up everyone that gets in your way! * [[Floating in A Bubble]]: Every character has a pic of them doing this and a random one appears on the title screen each time. * [[Follow the Leader]]: Interesting example in that it obviously jumped on the bandwagon of ''[[Bubble Bobble ~~(Video Game)~~\|Bust-A-Move]]'' by being a [[Nintendo Hard]] puzzle game with a cutesy cast and a 'bubble' theme but its gameplay is refreshingly unique. Nonetheless this trope probably contributed to bad sales. * [[Gainax Ending]]: Moolamb gets into a spaceship [[Bigger Onon the Inside\|smaller than himself]]/[[Tomato Surprise\|was a hologram all along?]] Just roll with it, in any case you just unlocked him as a character. * [[Going Through the Motions]]: In the pre-fight mini scenes each character has one animation, combined with one of three [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] [[Bond One-Liner]] snippets of voice acting. In game they have a couple of idles, a panic animation and a super move- varied enough not to get grating even as you grind through the hundred level arcade mode. * [[Improbable Age]]: Babybot, who's [[Captain Obvious\|a baby in a mecha.]] Line 62: * [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]] / [[Dummied Out]] (?): Just who ''is'' that mysterious skeleton sheriff in the ending slideshow? * [[Secret Character]]: [[Final Boss]] Moolamb, Baby without [[Powered Armor\|the bot]] and Innet, a [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere\|Giant Butterfly Schoolgirl From Nowhere]]. * [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?]] * [[Victory Pose]] * [[Victory Quote]] Line 70: [[Category:Puzzle Game]] [[Category:Spin Jam]] [[Category:~~Pages~~Video ~~with comment tags~~Game]]
