DeceasedCrab plays Pink Hour

Here's a short, free little game made by Studio Pixel, the makers of Cave Story!

The story is pretty simple: you're Pink. You've misplaced an important document and you have to get it back before the company president gets angry. To find it, you have to...go underground and shoot down enemies on your way to wherever it is.

You can choose whether or not to play Hard Mode before the start of the game. If you choose to play Hard Mode, the platforms get amazingly small and platforming becomes harder.

Controls are pretty simple. You move with the Arrow Keys, jump with Z and shoot with X. You can shoot in three directions: up, left and right. The gameplay is pretty simple, and the enemies are pretty easy. You have two hit points, and if you lose them, you lose a life.

When you're in the water, be sure to shoot down the fish as well as the blue guys that will try to shock you. To swim in the water, just keep jumping. The flaoting bubble platforms will take you to the surface or the ceiling faster.

You'll eventually come across an Indiana Jones-style boulder trap that trips as soon as you touch the laser. If you go left after the first drop, you can find an extra life.

After that boulder trap, you'll find the document. When you get it, however, you'll have to face the boss of the game, which is some black blob thing that shoots smaller black blobs at you. Just keep moving back and forth to avoid the projectiles and keep shooting the boss. Simple enough.

After some platforming over bottomless pits and dodging some falling spikes, you'll end up at the teleporter that leads back to C&F Inc.

There are four endings to the game. The best one is you returning with the document. If you get hit with the document in your hand, you lose. There's another ending that results if you don't retrieve the document. Then, there's you running out of lives, which shouldn't happen, really. Not with a game like this.

After the game ends, you'll get an advertisement for Kero Blaster, which also makes reference to Asteblade and La-Mulana.
