Almost nothing the angry narrator says is funny in Dude, Stop, to the point that you can smell the stench of flop-sweat on it. When the audience gets listless and starts to boo, just wave one of those crimes against nature at the audience and I guarantee you LOLs will be had. Honestly, if you’re a comedian or a sitcom that’s bombing, always have a Corgi on stand-by. A section framed like a children’s educational book-on-tape is the highlight of the game, because Corgis are scientifically proven to be so stupid so as to be the only living entity that’s funny by default. Which is probably the funniest gag in the entire game.īut, I’ll fully concede that some of the gags and “packs” of Dude, Stop are downright inspired. To Dude, Stop’s credit, it pretty much admits that it’s not funny. But who has time for that shit when you’re writing unfunny jokes about a digital duck taking over the program? At times Dude, Stop feels unrefined and in need of clean-up. You won’t believe how maddening it can be to turn a Christmas tree upside down so you can fit it in a box using just a mouse, or kicking a piece of paper into a wastebasket. It’s a clever play on the WarioWare formula, and it works for the most part. You might have to put away a Christmas tree without procrastination (or leave it up throughout the Spring). You might have to take a seat in a theater and silence your cell phone (or jack up the volume of it).
There’s a relatively large variety of games with different objectives, with each game having specific win and fail conditions that you’ll eventually have to do one of each of in order to unlock everything.
I mean just enough to get by, but it still counts. So Dude, Stop has to be able to stand on its gameplay merits, and it sort of does.

Besides, anyone who has spent time on the indie scene knows the real way to get under their skin is to wait for it to release and then leave a negative review on Steam with only 0.1 hours of playtime. But the premise of annoying a game developer by intentionally failing at their game just doesn’t work. There’s a few chuckles and at least one laugh-at-loud joke thrown in that I’m going to be a complete cunt and spoil in the next picture. Which is not to say Dude, Stop is never funny. A kick in the balls is only funny when it’s not your balls. It’s like that “ want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?” gag from Dumb & Dumber, only you’re the one getting it screamed in your ear. And after doing it again, they repeated the joke one more time before making me complete the quiz in under twenty seconds for a third time. It took me several tries to actually get it right (I was trying to hit the checkboxes and not the pictures or words next to them), and by time I did, the game did a “haha, I wasn’t using my stopwatch” joke and made me do it again. Otherwise known as the Derrick Rose method.Īnd I want to talk about that one, because it leads into the main problem with Dude, Stop: it’s a comedy game that’s just not that funny. Other times there’s different objectives, like trying to complete a quiz in twenty seconds.
The game is divided into multiple “packs” of mini-games with various themes, all of them having essentially the same amount of play value, with multiple different objectives for each. The hook here is that you’re actually encouraged to fuck up, so as to drive the developer mad. You’re the test subject of a game-solving experiment that involves tiny slivers of mini-games. It can be summed up very simply: WarioWare meets the Stanley Parable. And I don’t mean playing with it in the type of way that lands you in front of a judge while you try to explain that she SWORE to you she was 18. I’d rather try something that takes the formula and plays with it.
#Dude stop game first level series#
Considering that I’m not a fan of any of the games in the series besides the original, I’m not excited at all for it. And yes, to the roughly three-hundred people who alerted me to the fact, I’m aware Nintendo’s releasing a “ Best of WarioWare” next month. I named it my favorite game of all-time, a position it still holds for me fifteen years after it came out. It’s no secret that I like WarioWare Inc.
