Cut Man’s 7th challenge is unyielding. I’d love to bore the 2 people who accidentally read my posts while checking the site to see if there are new BlooCloud posts to spam with the details, but there’s little to say. It’s a fight on a tiny little platform against 8 respawning dudes. I’ve found a pattern that lets me keep the bastards in check indefinitely, but at some point in the course of a minute I inevitably fuck it up.

It’s a little demonstration of chaos theory. I let some tiny variation creep into my rhythm, completely survivable on its own. But then each time through the loop things spin further and further off the axis. Frantic death.

Moved on to the Ice Man challenges, currently on the last. They’re all built around freezing guys in flight and using them as platforms to cross big chasms. Freezing dudes then jumping on them is a fun enough mechanic to make people think the Metroid games don’t suck, so it’s wildly compelling here.

Best of the bunch was probably the 8th. Gotta freeze fleas in mid-jump. Fleas are the little buggers who jump towards/over you in big arcs and take just a single buster shot to kill. Meaning all the freezes are one-shot affairs. You don’t get a second chance to time it right like you do against the octopus batteries.
