Revision as of 01:26, 26 January 2018
The tenth level of Stinkoman 20X6 has been delayed for 18 years, despite the first nine levels being created in less than half a year. This may have been because Jonathan Howe moved away after level 9. This hiatus has been referenced a few times in the Homestar Runner body of work.
Information
It will be released in 2018 and will be playable in Flash, according to the preview posted to @StrongBadActual. It may be castle-themed (presumably taking place inside Shadowy Figure's evil fortress), with blue stone walls in the background resembling The King of Town's Castle. The floor is made of gray shiny bricks. There are destructible floor blocks shaped like skulls, which can be jumped on three times to break them. Most of the enemies are also skull-themed. As revealed on @StrongBadActual and The Deleteheads Download, these include:
- A skeleton that walks back and forth, wearing red clothes. Its clothes have two horizontal yellow lines on the side.
- The same enemy, but with a gun in place of eyes. Its clothes have three horizontal yellow lines on the side.
- A bigger, fatter version that spits out jumping wind-up skulls. Its clothes have only one yellow shape.
- A running armless stick figure with a shiny red object for a head. Two bolts stick out of each side of its head.
- A skull that rests on the ground, then springs up as its eyes open.
- A hole in the ground that shoots shiny red objects.
- A jumping stack of five green skulls.
In a Sketchbook sketch, another enemy is seen: a walking robot with two antennae. Its game sprite has never been seen, however.
According to the Deleteheads Download GIF, which may or may not reflect the final version of the level, the level starts on a platform consisting of four bricks, a destructible floor block, and eight more bricks. There is one platform above the player, which consists of two bricks, a destructible floor block, and ten more bricks, with four bricks stacked on top, and another four bricks on top of that. A regular skeleton enemy is on the left side. Above it is a six-brick platform with a ladder on the left side. Below the player is a left-and-right-floating metallic platform from level 5. You can jump on the destructible floor block to fall onto the floating platform, which takes you to a six-brick platform with another regular skull enemy.
The boss, in the words of The Brothers Chaps during the Late Nite JengaJam interview, will be huge, very epic, and a nice end to the game.
