Awesome (triplet? triad? triptych?? trio???) of games. I must confess I loathe the endless platformers with a message to impart upon the players and a deep and meaningful story to tell. (The exception being Thomas Was Alone. That game was amazing.)
Knowing that these games were making fun of the genre whilst embracing it made this all the more enjoyable. However I can't help but feel that maybe the review didn't get the meaning of the word Pretentious.
It's a trilogy.
Also, I would really like someone to conclude the whole picture, since it gets too deep for most of us to understand what's actually happening.
I can probably come up with a synopsis. I put together the no-one has to die synopsis, after all. Give me time...
I am stuck at pretentious game 3,the "i said open the door part..." what should I do to pass the level?
I have tried to make all three square together...
Pretentious Game Trilogy - A Plot Synopsis
The Pretentious trilogy revolves around four characters: the gentlemen Blue and Gray, and the ladies Magenta and Peach. The first two games follow Blue, and the third follow the other three, one by one.
Gray was a player, wooing woman after woman, and at last marrying Peach. The marriage was not happy, however; Gray continued to play the field, cheating on Peach with Magenta at every opportunity. She was furious when she found out, and the two of them divorced.
The first game talks about how Blue was in love with Magenta. However, he never managed to work up the courage to confess his love, whereas Magenta was so in love with Gray that she didn't care about Peach or Blue; this ended with a heartbroken Blue and a wedded Gray and Magenta.
Magenta and Gray had two children (the fact that one child was blue raises questions about their true father, but let's write it off as a stylistic choice). Sadly, though, Gray was driven to drink by his unhappy breakup with Peach.
Blue did everything he could to forget about Magenta, trying out all sorts of activities to distract himself. Eventually he met Peach, and fell in love again-- but was killed by a drunk driver shortly thereafter. The preceding all happens in the second game.
The drunk driver was Gray. In the final scene, Peach is alone, Blue is dead and buried, and Magenta and her children are visiting Gray in jail.
@bearharry:
Dump Magenta off the level, and the switch will work.
Stuck on the
I'm a thief part
any hints?
Nvm, got it! :)
In the second game, how do I get past
"I can recover, I know it"
?
I figured out game 2.
I hate those game that force player to sacrfrice one or some of the characters, especially when you can achieve the goal without losing anyone orginally!!!
Oh my gosh game 2 made me jump
Hmmm. Odd--the first game has Magenta and another Blue at the end for me, not a Grey.
@vulpisfoxfire: That's because at the time that game was made, the creator hadn't come up with the bigger story yet.
In first game I'm stuck on:
or make a way...use mouse
Help, please.
Does anyone know the title of the music to this game?
I recognise it from somewhere.....?
@ rookwings: They are the Gymnopedies by French composer, Erik Satie. Here is the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnop%C3%A9dies_(Satie)
Fantastic games. The third one got a little challenging but I got there in the end.
Great game.
It remains me a lot of Fiasco, the RPG. Simple but with great history.
By the way, I hate Gray.
Just finished the game. Was pretty good.
However, I do feel sad for peach and blue.
@ Blue Nina
You should use the mouse to
click on the dark red squares just above the "or make a way" text. They will disappear and make a tunnel for you to go through
Couldn't get to the first game from your link: it never loaded after the ad (Chrome 28 on Mac OS X 10.8, Flash Player 11.8). The version at Armor Games (http://armorgames.com/play/13225/pretentious-game) works.
@jim_in_oz:
The music is in Satie's style, but it's not actually Satie.
@jim_in_oz:
More info: Game 2's music is actual Satie, but game 1's isn't. I haven't got to game 3 yet. :)
In game 3 I am stuck on where you have magenta fight the current that is pushing her away from gray. Any luck on this level? It'll be greatly appreciated. I believe the clue is why but that's all I have.
@ Puppy
Ah, yes, that one is a little tricky.
It says you have to "question why", which is a hint to click on the "?" button (the walkthrough). As soon as you click on that, magenta will move much more easily and you can finish the level.
@starchild
thanks so much for helping.
I was stuck in the part in PG3:
I can only have you when she is gone
... can you please help me.
@ Marcvryant Gonzales de Guzman
You have to
get rid of the wife (peach) by making her fall off the screen to the right, then move the mistress (magenta) to meet the guy (grey).
Hope that helps! :)
How do you get past the part?
For
"I can recover, I know it"
in the second game, here's what you do (or what I did, at least):
Double jump straight up
At the peak of the second jump, QUICKLY move to the right wall and just wall-jump like mad.
If you time it right, he'll still be in "invincible" mode from getting hurt the first time when you get up the wall.
