Line 1:
{{
A series of platform Flash games created by Diseased Productions without a lot of the usual [[Platformer]] tropes. You play as Experiment #154 fighting against the corporation who created him to control and use as a weapon. The hero uses a variety of high-powered guns and (in ''Thing Thing 4'') a lead pipe.
The line of games can be found [http://www.crazymonkeygames.com/Thing-Thing-Series.php here].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Awesome but Practical]]: Dual Lever Shotguns in ''Thing Thing Arena 3''. On low difficulties, it's a one shot kill. On higher difficulties, you've got another shotgun to finish them with. And they look ''cool''.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: The arrow gun in ''Thing Thing Arena 3''. Sure, it shoots arrows. But they're about as weak as a standard pistol bullet, and you can't dual wield them.
* [[BFG]]: As a result of the characters having wierd proportions, the weapons they use are often larger that they are.
** If [http://diseasedproductions.net/moronmarathon.html this game] from the same producer is any indication, Thing-Things are about three feet tall, and the hands are the same size as ours.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: From Thing Thing 2 onward, killing an enemy exclusively with headshots causes their head to explode (In Thing Thing 2 itself, body parts explode when destroyed, so their head will eventually pop regardless).
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Systems Corp.
** To make things worse, they seem to run the place.
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* [[Downer Ending]]
* [[Elite Mooks]]
* [[Gotta Catch Em All]]: You really don't ''have'' to, but in ''Thing-Thing 4'', collecting every new gun you find makes it available in the armory for [[New Game
* [[Hand Cannon]]: ALL the guns are huge, but the Magnum is this compared to the rest of the pistols.
* [[Healing Factor]]: Only in the second and fourth games; the first and third operates on [[Heal Thyself]] instead.)
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
** Unfortunately, damage per shot is rather dismal compared to the other shotguns in TTA3. It won't stop you from hosing down everyone you meet however. The achievement for 100 kills with the Jackhammer is appropriately called ''"Buckshot Firestorm"''.
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: Particularly jarring in ''Thing-Thing Arena 3''. Enemies have to keep coming from somewhere to attack you, otherwise the game doesn't work. But it gets ridiculous sometimes. During one of his early games, this editor was camping in an alcove with only one entrance, waiting for enemies to come in so he could kill them. He moved his cursor to the other side of the screen to try and see if enemies were coming. When he moved the cursor back, there was suddenly an enemy with him in the alcove that had appeared during the instant when he was looking away. Damn, what subtle teleporation technology these guys have.
* [[One
* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]] (#154)
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: ''Yes.''
* [[Raymanian Limbs]]
* [[Self
* [[Short
* [[Smoldering Shoes]]: In Arena 3 gibbing enemies tends to leave only shoes behind.
* [[Spin
* [[There Can Only Be One]]: 153 strongly believes this, and repeatedly tries to kill you over it.
* [[Throw
* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: Some weapons fall under this trope due to ammunition scarcity.
* [[Unusable Enemy Equipment]]: ''Thing-Thing 3'' has your enemies using a wide assortment of guns, but you only get guns at the end of levels.
