Let's Play Knuxhema!

Alright guys, because I'm in a totally weird mood right now (and because Terracon is proving to be a lot of work to put together), I would like to engage in a casual, viewer-interactive LP. It's a strange sort of freeware adventure game, with a points system, multiple routes to take, and plenty of ways to die. xP

This LP is largely going to be guided by you guys. Whenever we have a choice in our route to take (which happens quite often indeed), I'm gonna ask all of you to pick which option we want to pursue! I'll leave voting open for a little while each time, but not too long (I don't want to slow this down too much). Simply put, the most-voted-for-option wins.

And it's quite likely you guys will get us killed, but don't fear! If that happens, we'll simply reset back to where we were before we chose the death option, and another option can then be pursed. Or if we REALLY back ourselves into a corner, we'll keep backtracking until we get out of our rut. =P Death options can be quite entertaining anyways, so don't worry about it too much.

So without any other delay, Let's Play Knuxhema!





The creator's copyright. A simple label for a simple(?) game.



The game immediately begins with our hero, Knuckles, spending quality time in a field...air boxing. One must work hard to be able to crumble rock walls by mere touch, after all.



I don't like your tone, narrator. >=( Grapes are full of anti-oxidants!



Alas, even for dear Knux, air boxing loses its appeal eventually. The echidna needed something else to do... Hmmm...

What say ye, watchers? What shall we make our short-tempered friend do first? Our options are...

Sleep!

I'd have him sleep

Sleep, totally. You lazy thing.

Looks like Sleep it is then!



Well, I suppose you would know ALREADY, Mr. Narrator. You're kind of a jerk that way. >=(



Oh no! It...certainly did...? (Notice the teeny bit of metal now at the top of the screen...kind of looks like a gun.)

Is this your way of insulting Dr. Robotnik, Mr. Narrator, or is there just something REALLY odd off-screen?



I don't think we want to see what's in a dead, rotten egg's mouth. x.x Good thing Knuckles is asleep...



...Then again, maybe he shouldn't laze around there any longer? o.o;

It's up to you guys. Our options are...

Sleep On | Pray | Other

Other

I don't think any option beyond "Other" is appropriate at this time. <3

I vote other.

Eh, I already see the majority wants Other, so...



...Another option already! Still more sleeping is available to us, though we can also play dead to attempt to fool the enemy into thinking we've perished. OR, if we REALLY want to make sure that foe gets confused, we could simply Be Dead as well!

So, what'll it be?

Pretend dead

Let's just Pretend, seeing as I think actually being dead would make this a relatively short LP.

Aw, heck... Two votes is good enough. For now. Pretend Dead it is then!



But will it work? :O



...



I...suppose? But he had to stand up just to get in that pose... That's not exactly a good way of playing dead at all if you have to move! This will never...



...ever...



...work? :o

Well, good work to you cronies! You outsmarted a...dead, rotten egg, I guess.

That suddenly sounds a lot less impressive when you say it out loud...



...and we've looped back to the beginning of the game! Go figure, right? Well, we can now choose a new option, or we could Sleep again and see if we can find a different way to 'resolve' that rotten egg situation. It's really up to you guys. So, pick...

Go Away | Wait | Sleep

Go Away

Go away Knuckles. You sadden me.

Alright! We shall make Knux Go Away!



Ah, but it seems we must be more specific. Choose our direction, readers!

Left | Right | Down

Left

Down! Go down! burrow into the ground!

Definitely down. Make that slob put those knuckles to use.

Go Down and dig Sonic's grave? I dunno.

Down? Sure, that sounds like a perfectly reasonable direction!



Or...wait, there's something wrong about this...what was it again?



Oh...oh dear. That simply did not work out for our red hero.



Yes...no kidding. Perhaps a video game character existing on a 2D plane shouldn't try taking a southern path, hmm? Now we see the results...the horrible, HORRIBLE results. x.x And you all led him there!

...

So anyways! Time to rewind!



Okay guys, choose again... Left or Right?

Left | Right

Left

Hmmm...left then. 4 Dead.

Let's hope that no echidna is left behind...because we're going Left! *dodges a tomato*



*gasp* Could...could it be?!



Yes! We made it to our SECOND SCREEN!

And boy oh BOY is that text WONDERFUL to look at. The staggeringly-fast speed at which it flashes between colors is enough to give somebody a seizure. Lucky for you guys, you only have to see screenshots of this. xP



But who cares about all the loud and worrisome text. Thar's some GRAPES there!!!



Knuckles carefully ponders this turn of events.



Hmm...what to do, what to do...

I feel worried... D: Well, pick away!

Get Grapes | Walk Further | Laugh

Laugh

I choose to nab those grapes and trust those signs completely! That's never steered me wrong before in games like this!

Get the grapes!

You guys might have...uh...poor judgement... =o But as you asked, let's Get Grapes!



There's no way this could go wrong.



Hm. Maybe it's safer than it looks?



...I think the narrator just laughed at us, guys.





Well...I didn't see that one coming. :p



Yes. Exstremely. o.-



That's one long-ass pit.



Yes, I just stated that...



Wait... The trap will say Splat? That's kind of odd.



Oh man! Knuckles is in quite the bind here, but at least he's not (yet) dead! Perhaps there's still a way out of this mess... What shall we do now, Poke'goons? :O

Climb Up | Eat Grapes | Nothing

Climb up

THE GRAPES WILL SAVE YOU.

grapes,the grapes =D

I know I was talking about the importance of anti-oxidants earlier, but seriously, you guys are focusing WAY too much on a proper diet. Still...let's Eat Grapes, I guess.



CRY. CRY AND HAVE PART OF A BALANCED BREAKFAST.



Omnomnomnom



Woah! What's happening?



Well...that's a stroke of luck if I ever saw one. Good work Poke'goons! It seems we'll get out of this chasm in one piece after all!



It's a bit of a flight, but at this point, what's the worse that could happen?



O.O



Oh. I guess...THAT could happen, o.x Ouchie-wa-wa...I think we'll need a chisel...

But who the heck could have built over that pit so damned fast?



Apparantly, not even the narrator knows the answer to this one.

So who IS the culprit? Eggman? Aliens? Well, it's certainly not ME...heaven knows I can't build that fast. I'm just a Charmeleon. x3

...Or could I? >:3~

Anyways, let's see some votes! Our choices are...

Eggman | Aliens | Yourself

Yourself XP

well using my brand of Miltank logic,i'd say if eggman dug the pit,he seald it up so i say eggman

I'm going to say aliens, specifically this little bastard. Him and his natural buttplug. >:S

Yourself. Definately Knucklehead (bad pun)

...You people think I'm evil, don't you? :'( Well, the option Yourself wins the vote.



Wow, the narrator is in a BAD mood when he doesn't know what's going on. >.> And thus we get a game over.

...Actually - spoiler alert - no matter what option you choose here, it's still a game over. Since, uh, Knuckles is already dead and all. Rather than waste time having you guys make more rather-futile 'who done it' choices, I'm simply gonna show you what each choice does.

Choosing Eggman...



...Gives the exact same screen as choosing Yourself. Not too interesting. But of course, if -I- didn't fill the pit, and -Eggman- didn't fill the pit, then that means...!

Let's choose Aliens now.



Hey hey! That was the right answer! :3 Kudos to Guan for seeing the truth!



Of course...that doesn't change the fact that our red echidna is still more of a red stain now. =(



...Strange. The game would normally auto-close itself in a game over at this point...

In fact, wait about 15 seconds and...



O.O

BANANALIENS! >=( Those evil BASTARDS. Their hatred of all who love grapes over bananas is limitless!

Anyways, we then get our inevitable game over. xP Let's rewind a bit to before Knux found himself...well, all over the place.



Particularly, to here. Barring grape-eating, we still have two options that could potentially save Knuckles! So, vote away! Shall we...

Climb Up | Nothing

Climb up

I KNEW IT THOSE DAMN BANANAS I WILL EAT THEM ALL AND FRY THEM WITH CARAMEL SAUCE :SLDIUFIOWUERWOIokay fine climb.

Climb up.

climb up!

climb up

Yes, that seems perfectly reasonable. I'm not surprised you guys are unanimous about this. Let's Climb Up! =3



This is one of Knux's signature abilities after all. There's no way this will fail!



...Uh. What's that covering the minutest portion of wall there? =x



-.o; That...likely didn't feel too good.



YEAH NO KIDDING. >.< Oooch...not much left of him after that...

I guess you could say that Knuckles...got A HEAD of himself! Huh? Huh? *gets shot*



Well, yes, I did just get shot... X.X Oh...you mean our main character, gotcha...



Rewinding a tad, that just leaves us with only one option that hasn't killed us yet: Nothing. It seems rather irrational that it would work, but...let's try it.



After all, the irrational options tend to be the ones that work in this game, right?



That doesn't make me feel encouraged. =(



...But then!



...Yeah, he pretty much just finds the bottom. =x



Oh, hey look! The pit really DID say splat! How consistant!

...So if you guys haven't figured it out by now...falling in this pit WILL kill us, no matter what. So...let's rewind a ways back...



...To before you Poke'goons made Knux suffer for his grapes addiction. >=( You people are 'enablers', you know.

But we do have two other options to pursue! What shall we do?

Walk Further | Laugh

Laugh at the obvious trap

Laugh

yeap Laugh

Laugh. Har dee har.

I LAUGH AT YOUR ADDICTION

Then we shall Laugh! Ha ha!



It's a good idea too - we can break all this tension about the many ways YOU ALL have killed Knuckles over the past few posts.



xD



The Narrator does not understand the power of humor, apparantly.



Well, that was a good chuckle. Of course, we could continue that...or we could try something else.

...Though, if laughter IS the best medicine, we might need a few extra doses considering the pain we gave Knux earlier. =x

So, choose!

Yes | No

Yes

yes!
