About The End Is Nigh
✦ AI summary
Take control of Ash through 600+ brutal platformer levels across a post-apocalyptic world, dodging mutant creatures and collecting video game cartridges while pursuing his darkly hilarious quest to build a friend from found body parts. The End Is Nigh combines punishing platforming action with indie charm, packed with hidden endings, mini-games, and a surprisingly touching story wrapped in morbid humor.
If you are reading this you are probably dead...
Just kidding, you aren't dead... YET!
See, in the future, everything dies... for the most part.
and this is a game about just that.
The End Is Nigh!

Gameplay:
The End Is Nigh is a sprawling adventure platformer where the player takes control over Ash, one of few "things" that have "survived" the "end of the world".
Follow Ash as he flops his way through a future of pain and suffering. Feel his stress levels rise as you throw him into an endless swarm of decaying, mutant animal-like creatures and help aid his final epic quest... to simply make a friend (out of pieces of people he finds along his journey).
Oh, also you collect video game cartridges and tumors! if that does anything for ya.

wonderful little platformer, plus an amazing credit roll sequence
W platformer. this game is peak and not too hard compared to other more challenging games like hello kitty island adventure
its a difficult but really fun game
the game is fun but i really can only play it in 1-2 hour sessions
https://youtu.be/2Ibh3-9wcQ0 Individual rooms lack a sense of place or overall structure and play much like mini-puzzles over a more consistent platformer.
The damn Wailers in the acceptance area made me cry. ♥♥♥♥ this game, 9/10.
