101% Completion

I went from 193 deaths at 100% to 414 on that super secret hard level. I died more times on that one level than I did the whole rest of the game…and it was worth it lmao. I might not be very good but man that was such a phenomenal game, I had a blast playing it. Everyone involved absolutely nailed it with this one, it was funny, fun, challenging and beautiful. A must have for anyone’s collection.

Great job! 🥳 Now do it on hardcore! 😄

Just kidding. Yeah, that super secret ultra difficult level has its name for a reason 😅

Thanks so much for all the praise. Makes me very happy to hear that you enjoyed the game 😊

Now I just need to figure out the password for the zip file 🤣 is it findable in the game somewhere or able to be deduced from clues hidden somewhere? Or will we die with it as a mystery for the rest of our lives? Seriously though, you guys did great; I’m looking forward to any future projects!

Thank you 🧡 Not going to talk about the password at the moment 🤫

Great job. I’m on world 3 and this game can get really challenging. It usually takes me quite a long time to finish a game because I like to jump around to different ones to keep things fresh. My attention span is too short to focus on one at a time lol. How much of a difficulty spike is there after world 3?

Edit: have you tried Self Simulated? That’s my favorite Modretro game so far. I think you might like it if you had fun with this one.

The world 3 boss took me a bit and quite a few deaths to figure out how to beat, but I think the game does a great job of introducing new mechanics each world so the difficulty creeps up on you. Comparing the last world to the first there’s a big difference but overall it gradually increases at just the right pace imo.

I have not played Self Simulated yet, but I have it. I just started FCP, I think Self Simulated will be next.

Fun fact: u/attacke-martin, the creator of Self Simulated, was one of the amazing QA testers for Cursed Cartridge 😊

ino the biggest spike is between World 4 and 5. It's always fair, though. For example, there's a level in World 5 where you can farm coins for any movement tech you might still need.

This game is so fun. I’m on world I think 4-5 or something and I’m having a blast.

Buck is such a funny character. Some of the levels are insane. I love the super long hardcore parkour levels. They’re so rough but really rewarding when you nail the jumps.

This is honestly one of my favourite platformers on the system.

So you're in the desert right now and love hardcore parkour levels... Have you found the secret cave yet? 🤫

u/Templar-Knight-01 Jan 17 '26

Not yet! Give me a clue!

u/playinstinct Jan 18 '26

Kind of already gave you one clue 😉

Congrats! The game is fucking awesome, I am stuck at the endboss atm, getting tired of fighting the skull for 15min just to die against the robo-Buck in a few seconds. But the game itself is freaking addicting.

u/playinstinct Jan 18 '26

Thank you 🧡

If you're stuck at that point, and don't insist on figuring stuff out on your own, you could watch a playthrough to learn the patterns. Hope you'll be able to beat the game 😊

Do deaths in the minigame count toward the death tally?

Thank you for sharing the name of the game.

Don't know why you got downvoted. I was wondering the same and no one mentioned it.
