Under rating threshold (show) After all these years one of the best games on this site. Beat it so many times and yet running through it is just as challenging and fun every time.

Under rating threshold (show) You have to shoot the F*cking dog in the back, otherwise you won't deal any damage... Same with the other Boss only shooting the head will damage him.

Under rating threshold (show) Stickers do not and will not ever exist, what with Kong killing itself, you think they are going to actually bother looking into it? Also, who would do that if everyone got fired? Get informed.

Under rating threshold (show) when i jumped down from a platform I could'nt turn and shoot. At first I blamed the keyboard, but then I noticed that he bends his knees and staggers after falling. That's good work on detail!

Under rating threshold (show) And btw, here's the basic story on Wikipedia- "The most famous story in which Orpheus figures is that of his wife Eurydice (also known as Agriope). While walking among her people, the Cicones, in tall grass at her wedding, Eurydice ran into a nest of snakes which bit her fatally on her heel. Distraught, Orpheus played such sad songs and sang so mournfully that all the nymphs and gods wept. On their advice, Orpheus traveled to the underworld and by his music softened the hearts of Hades and Persephone (he was the only person ever to do so), who agreed to allow Eurydice to return with him to earth on one condition: he should walk in front of her and not look back until they both had reached the upper world. He set off with Eurydice following and in his anxiety as soon as he reached the upper world he turned to look at her, forgetting that both needed to be in the upper world, and she vanished for the second time, but now forever."

Under rating threshold (show) it's not that much a philosophical game, but it's a really nice adaptation of Orpheous and Eurydice's Myth. I had to get her ghost to realize this was the myth and that the final boss is Hades :I

Under rating threshold (show) Old Greek mythology, a man wanted his wife back from the dead. He traveled to the underworld, battled demons, and was told that he can have his wife back if her spirit can follow him back up, but he was never allowed to look behind him for his wifes spirit. In the end, he looked behind him, and he never retreived his wife. Sad story, great game.

Under rating threshold (show) for newbies,get a strategy for the bosses,for example first boss,walk in front,wait for him to jump,shoot his back,same for the 2nd attack,3rd...idk,just survive enough and you'll get trough. 2nd boss fall on the upper platform,jump and hit his head. continue. bats are your enemy with that strategy.

Under rating threshold (show) I don't say this lightly. In my 20 some odd years of playing videogames I have played a few thousand some odd games from all different types of platforms. Be it PC, Console, or Flash. This is one of the best games I have ever played. Quite difficult, and equally ingenious. Pure gameplay, no fancy graphics are needed here.
