The gently caress is this?
Phantom Block is a delightful puzzle platformer made by our friend and fellow goon Gamesfreak, you may remember him from the Zero runs of our X let's play series. What's it like? Sorta like playing a game in a level editor, it's a lot of fun with plenty of well thought out puzzles. But hey, I'm terrible at writing, so let's see what the website has to say.

Phantomblock.com posted:

Guide Boomer in his quest to collect coins, travel the world, and defeat mischievous Ballums! Use your mouse to change the world around you into mysterious Phantom Blocks with myriad uses: some blocks make walls intangible, others bounce you high, and some even let you stick to the walls! It's in your power to change the world; see where it takes you!

  • Help Boomer through platforming puzzles and challenges!
  • Use the 8 Phantom Blocks to change the world as you play!
  • Collect coins to unlock over 30 exciting levels!

Seriously, it's a lot of fun. And it's free! You can grab it from http://phantomblock.com/ and try it out for yourself!

This is a semi blind 100% run of the game, I have only played a demo of it a couple of years ago, while Rik, who has completed it, guides me through the more difficult poo poo.

Episodes will come out as I finish editing them, so maybe one every couple of days or so.

Episodes
Episode 01 - Failing at a Level Editor
Episode 02 - Fast forward to Victory

Episode 04 - An Ah Ha Moment
Episode 05 - Railguns and the Upside-down

Episode 2 is up, watch in amazement as Mith struggles valiantly through some of the most difficult traps designed by man; early levels in a friendly puzzle platformer!

Episode 02 - Fast forward to Victory

Death is pretty cheap in this game, it loads you back in pretty fast and, outside of a few instances in the last levels, check points are pretty generous, so it never really feels like a waste of time.

This post upsets me on multiple levels, and now I need to rip some Danny Phantom audio

You managed to flip the Ballum to walk on the underside of the ground and then it falls up through a gap to walk on the ceiling to come back to you

As a certified Game Master (tm) it is incumbent upon me to show off all the exploits

And finally we have the last level, a viscous gauntlet forged by hatred

Episode 08 - Boomer's Big Finale

Overall I had a fantastic time with this game, and hope others pick up it

Mostly life got in the way of getting everything edited and released on a consistent schedule, and I wasn't always able to update the thread on time.

It's also a reverse of our usual setup, with the experienced player behind the wheel and the in experienced one asking questions and driving the conversation. I don't fault our reasoning behind it, but I feel we could have executed it better.

Coupled with an obscure game I'm not surprised at the thread's performance, but it got at least a few others to try out the game and for that I am most happy.
