The Game
A title screen is shown, prompting any button to be pressed.
Once the game starts, the cow skeleton to the right shoots out steaks in different patterns, which damage Marzipan when touched. Marzipan must hair whip the steaks to make them disappear. Once enough steaks are hit, a part of the cow reappears on the skeleton. After this, the steaks speed up. This repeats for 4 phases. Once the full cow returns, and Marzipan goes to the center of the screen, this dialogue appears:
Thank you Marzi. You reversed the beef!
If the player manages to complete the game without taking a hit, the following dialogue is added:
I also noticed you didn't take damage
That's pretty cool
The dialogue finishes:
...
That will be all.
After this, the game resets.
Fun Facts
Trivia
- The full itch.io description reads:
|
Help Marzipan whip steaks back onto a horrifying skeletal bovine carcass in order to bring it back to life! But beware, -or should we say... beRARE- the steaks can also hurt you! A micro game to celebrate MAR21 (marzi) day! Controls:
If you have a flash cart or GameBoy emulator, the .gb file should run in it. If you have an Analogue Pocket, the .pocket file is your friend! |
|
- The shortened itch.io description (seen on Videlectrix's page) reads "Help Marzipan turn steaks BACK into cows!"
- The "More information" box lists the status as "Released", the platforms as "HTML5", the author as "Videlectrix", the genre as "Action", and the tags "beef", "homestar-runner", "marzipan", "micro-game", "vegetarian".
Day 2 Patch
- A Day 2 patch was released featuring a new way to gain health, a milk wave attack once the udders are restored, and a bonus stage with Marzipan beating up a car. However, this patch was unstable, causing many players to experience a kernel panic crash. As such, the game was reverted to the old version around 30 minutes later.
Inside References
- Marzi Day (Mar21) was referenced in a @StrongBadActual Tweet on the same day of the previous year.
- The ending music is the same tune as "Thoughts on a Bird" from the game Audition with Marzipan.
Real-World References
- Marzipan's hair whip attack is highly reminiscent of the basic attack of Shantae, titular heroine of the Shantae series.
- It is also reminiscent of the basic attack from Kabuki: Quantum Fighter.
- The car destruction minigame is based on the ones found in Final Fight and Street Fighter II.
