ZEUX WORLD
Zeux world was made by Zaratustra and is by far the best verge game ever.. It has everything: Secrets (more than Mario I think), bosses, endings, items and crap.. You might think all games have those stuff, but this is a VERGE game, most verge games (or demos, mostly) suck ass. Again, sorry for the spelling errors in advance.
The only "problem" you can have with this game is that as you can see, it's kinda generic. It's a Super Mario Bros. clone! But it's really cool. In the first screenshot you can see Zeux (I think that's his/her name) wielding a sword. On the second one, Zeux rides a plataform into the sky. To get a secret item in this level, go all the way up until you reach the goal, but jump somewhere in the castle to uncover a secret block that will make a staircase appear.. uh?
Zeux is a smiley from the Megazeux world of happy faces and ASCII art. He has been transported by the Evil Wizard to a land filled with crappy stuff like gravity and good graphics. He must return to the good world of Megazeux before he goes crazy or something.
In the first screenshot you can see Zeux standing on the overworld (The Dystopia tower, one of the coolest and wierdest level ever!) in a level called Obviously Obvious... There is a secret exit somewhere in the level, but I cant find it.. So much for obviously obvious... Bastard. Dytopia is a wierd tower with some very very very VERY original levels..
But my favorite levels are the Rainforest pair. It sucks that Zaratrusta made only two of these type of level, since they rock and the music does too.. And yes, the vine does "swing".
Like Super Mario, there are castles with minibosses that need to be spanked. Some of the castle open up new areas of the game, some just offer you a special item that makes blocks appear out of "no-where" and thus helping you and stuff.
There are also some inside jokes and super-secret places like these.. There are also two mini-games, I found one: The whack-a-hamster game, but another one hidden in Dystopia seems to be better hidden.
Zeux world does everything you never imagined Verge could do. Some of the levels are very challenging, but wierdly enough, they're not unfair.. Even proffesional game developers cant do that. Zaratrusta should make Gameboy color game.. Maybe he should port this game to the Gameboy Advance.. If Nintendo doesn't sue him first.. I mean... A lot of people should sue Zaratrusta if he ever releases this game.. It's wierd, but the Treehouse level has the "Flashdance" music and it fits perfectly into the atmosphere.
The coolest "easter-Egg" in this game has to be the secret character (I found him by luck! Hahahaha!). But if you finish the game, you'll get a tip, and one of those is the secret character (you must race him first). Oh yeah, and the game says CACA.. . The best verge game before this...
Types of level:
Grass, Mountain, Ocean, Beach, Rainforest, Desert, Castle, Ice, Graveyard, Treehouse, Dystopia (tower), city, caves, deathcliff (lava), and dark place thinguie.
Other types of level Zaratrusta can use in the sequel: Space, Rocky shore, Volcano, Mediterranean City (Venince?), Great Lakes type of water level, American desert ("wild" west), Veldt, Aztec/Mayan, Great Wall of china type of level, Snowy beach, Egyptian, Jurassic Period, Mini-world, Inside a Computer, and maybe some Waterfall levels..
But he should make a sequel.. If he doesn't I'm going to cry.. Real hard.
