Line 6: The player assumes the role of [[Adventurer Archaeologist]] [[Awesome McCoolname\|Malvineous Havershim]]. While studying ancient ruins in Madagascar belonging to an [[Precursors\|unknown ancient culture]] known only as the Blue Builders, Havershim falls prey to a mysterious gas and wakes up later to find himself [[Trapped in Another World]]. In his dreams he is greeted by a [[Talking Animal\|talking eagle]] who informs him that the land he has entered is not a friendly one, and it is ruled over by a [[Big Bad\|powerful and malevolent being]] known as [[Title Drop\|Xargon.]] Havershim is [[But Thou Must!\|thus thrust unwillingly]] into a quest to defeat Xargon, the only way he can ever go home. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Xargon provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Malvineous' default weapon is a laser that he shoots out of... well, [[Chest Blaster\|his chest.]] He doesn't seem to have an attack animation. * [[Anticlimax Boss]]: The reactors that serve as the episode "bosses" don't really do much except sit there and let you kill them while Xargbots spawn nearby to attack you (and in the first episode it's really easy to stand in a position where your boulders pass through the spawn point on the way to the reactor). Xargon himself isn't much tougher. * [[Cool Boat]]: In some [[Under the Sea\|water levels,]] Malvineous can pilot a bathysphere-like submarine that can shoot lasers in two directions. * [[Denial of Diagonal Attack]]: your default weapon only shoots straight ahead. The boulder "power up" shoots diagonally upwards, and has problems hitting enemies straight in front of you. You can use the arrow keys to move your laser bullets up or down, but this is mainly useful for hitting small targets and doesn't have the range of diagonal movement that the boulder does. Fireballs only shoot straight ahead, but they [[Infinity+1 Sword\|don't really need to move diagonally to kill everything]]. Line 20 ⟶ 18: * [[MacGuffin]]: Each episode has three "Power Objects" which you must collect. Most of them are only fleetingly referenced in Mal's journal, with the Sky Crystals, Dark Ring of Terror, Amulet of Blue Souls, and Tinia's Lyre being the only ones that Mal seems to do much of anything with besides comment on. * [[Our Monsters Are Weird]]: The first enemy you face is a walking torso with one big sharp tooth. It gets weirder from there, aside from the occasional ill-tempered fish. * [[One Hit Wonder]]: [[Averted Trope\|averted,]] Malvineous can take a [[Made of Iron\|whopping five hits]] before he goes down. * [[Power-Up]]: Pickups include hearts and fruits that [[Heal Thyself\|heal you,]] upgrades to your default laser, as well as a throwable rock- nay, ''boulder'', and a pickup that temporarily allows you to throw powerful [[Fireball\|Fire Balls.]] * [[Power-Up Letdown]]: the aforementioned boulder.
