Barnaby Chase on One Hit Mode (Billie Bust Up)

[@CrankyTemplar]

This looks like a very promising game so consider supporting the developers: Their KZbin channel that posts updates can be found here: youtube.com/@BillieBustUp You can wishlist the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/1400830/Billie_Bust_Up/ If you're wanting to play this pre-alpha build you need to support their Patreon at the $5/month or higher tier, which you can do here: www.patreon.com/BillieBustUp There's also a public demo for the Fantoccio boss fight that you can download here: billiebustup.itch.io/billiebustup

How can i play this demo? I really want to try It out. Either the puppet boss fight or this chase scene.

They appear to have been removed for one-hit mode. I assumed as much to prevent trickiness of getting above one health. :D Thanks again for the fun with this! I might be late to the party in learning about this game but it's definitely one I'm looking forward to!

[@yellowhawk01]

I like how the level design can help with dodging the attacks for the most part. Like it’s not a boss fight it’s like a massive Disney ride

There's also a public demo that has a boss fight with another song but the chase sequence works very well here.

Thanks! Once you get the hang of the level there's not much that's too bad. I still mess up in the cage depending on the fireball drops and the electricity spam before the kebab part sometimes gets me (as the way I do it is jump, slight delay, and double jump to clear three at once).

2:26 I have never noticed anyone talking about how one of the ghost says "I thought I'd try the guillotine!" But they made a mistake here as Barnaby lip sinks this part. Also the fact you did it without getting hit is amazing! I have never played the pre-alpha before but I can tell it must have been hard!

[@hotsoup1339]

Iirc, the devs mentioned something in a TikTok comment that Barnaby's lipsync is animated to an older version of the song (possibly the scratch track), where Barnaby was the one singing that line and was just putting on a voice. They're updating his facial animations I believe, they're just taking a break from this part of the game now that it's mostly functional.

[@Zenith07]

I think he’s just putting on a Voice when saying it.

[@nikolaysitnikov796]

​@@Zenith07The official lyrics list the singer of that line as "[Solo Ghost]"

[@CraftyMaelyss]

When listening to the early version of the song that shows the script, it's listed as Barnaby singing this line, so he may be putting on a voice, especially since in the cutscene leading up to this, we do see Barnaby remove his own head, so the updated animation (when they come back to it) could show that for this part of the game in the final version P:

Lyrics: I know we'll be the best of friends, so there's no need to run The sooner you get dead, the sooner you can join the fun! No need to fear, for I am here (Your mortal form will disappear) Now should we use this rusty knife, or acid water gun? There's a million gruesome ways to die~ (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) So why resist when the party's just begun? (You'll be having so much fun) There's a million gruesome ways to die! (Why stay alive?) And I'm sure your death will be second to none Dynamite is quick, but it makes alot of mess And flattened by a cow is just embarrassing at best But baked into a yummy cake (Or dropped into a pit of snakes) Though drowning in a lobster tank might hurt a little less (There's a million gruesome ways to die) How 'bout impaled upon a spike? (Oh why resist when the party's just begun?) Maybe something on a bike (There's a million gruesome ways to die) We could bury you alive We're sure your death will be second to none We could put you in a cage with a hungry alligator Drop you in a volcano with an active crater What about 10,000 volts of electricity? Or try a death by Shakespeare in a tragicomedy Trampled by an elephant or turned to goat meat stew Or try to fight a dragon armed with nothing but a shoe We could do a mummy's curse (We'll put you in a fancy hearse) Or turned into a stuffie, now that's something we can do (There's a million gruesome ways to die) I thought I'd try the guillotine (Oh why resist when the party's just begun) (I danced so hard I broke my spleen) There's a million gruesome ways to die There must be something we can try We're sure your death will be second to none Maybe you can choke upon a grape (To die!) Put you in a blender and frappé (To die!) Maybe we can find an angry mob (To die!) Tie you up on a stake (Die!) and cook you up like a kebab (To die!) Smothered by a pillow in your bed (To die!) A gluten overdose from too much bread (To die!) Then you can join the party 'cause you're dead I'm sure your death will be second to (Mister Reaper's beckoning you) I'm sure your death will be second to none

Well, depending on what the party has and if it is dangerous or not, if I already died, I might as well attend it if it is truly fun and not dangerous, but before that I think I would prefer to stay alive thank you very much.
