Being in a voicecall with SimpleFlips is like an exercise in Solipsism. You end up lost in a state of never being sure of what does and does not really exist. Does _anything_ you see or hear correlate to reality? Is there any _true_ reality outside of your interpretation of perceived sensory input? _Is there _*_really_*_ a baseball minigame???_

[@Zalied]

i can vividly remember the layout of level 2 cus that was my live level as a small child and every level up until clown and was confused why i barely remembered clown and on levels. but it was because that stupid 1 boss kept child me at the start area for so long once i beat that the rest of the game was super easy. Iv replayed the game only once since than and idk if adult me can mentally handle that boss

the one thing that makes me sad is they never learned that each set of stages has a DIFFERENT bonus level as a kid i would grind lvl 2 cus you could get like 5+ lives per run cus of the fruit bonus game and life at the start

[@Happycide]

YEESSS MORE PACMAN LET'S GOOO Edit now that I've watched the video: this race felt like a stereotypical hero's arc. At first, Simple gets his butt kicked by the game and everyone in the race passes him, even Vesting. But then, through sheer perseverance, he manages to overcome the "no lives and one health save" portion of his arc and not only catch up with Vesting, but also secure the win by outlasting the rest of his friends. Truly an amazing and well though-out story, props to Simpleflips for being the great entertainer he is.
