The Narrator Is a DICK

Not only is this a complete IWTBTG clone, but a few issues hold it back and make it even MORE frustrating. First off, the graphics are pretty good, being what they are. The narrator is NOT a dick. He's an annoying, grating repetetive asshole. Not only does he repeat himself every few seconds, but he usually doesn't even get a chance to finish his setence before he's launched into a new line. The game killer for me, is this. There is no analogue control. Just like IWTBTG the first couple apple trees drop apples for an insta kill and clouds drop lighting bolts for instakills, blah blah. The point is, you can't slowly edge towards it to set the trap off. You move so quicky that even if you tap the direction super quick, at least 1/2 the time you'll end up running underneath a death trap even though you knew it was there. If it had analogue control with pads, or even a walk key I might have tried to actually finish this game. As it is I'm refunding and hoping to God I never have to he...

A game that truly lives up to its name and promise.

[i]The Narrator Is a DICK[/i] [sic] proclaims itself to be a "comedy-based, challenging 2D platformer" that is "fully narrated". In some (admittedly reaching) sense, this is true. But it is only [i]just[/i] true. The comedy is not funny, the challenge is not clever, and the narration is not interesting. The first thing I saw when I started up this game is a "Made with Unity Personal Edition" splash screen. This is not, in itself, a horrendous thing, but more often than not is indicative of mediocrity. Still, I am committed to the premise, and carry on. The second thing I saw was a heavily cropped fullscreen window on a different monitor (I have a dual-screen setup on Linux). I could make it to the options, but several options, including windowed mode, were inaccessible, and upon attempting another resolution, the game crashed. Further attempts to boot resulted in a blank screen. Fortunately (or so I thought), there was a prefs file in the config path. I tried altering it; it failed t...

I've always been a fan of "cruel" platformers, Iwannabetheguy, Iwannabetheboshi, Erye's Action, etc. But this one is frankly boring, uninspired, and the platforming isn't very interesting.

"The Narrator is a DICK" is an extremely easy platformer that you can ( likely ) beat on your first playthrough. I would love to have tea time w/ the narrator. All kidding aside, if you are a platformer junkie like I am , this is a no-brainer.

didnt really like it jokes got boring

This game is extremely hard. Probably the hardest single player game I have played on steam. The narrator is really annoying and he will piss you off. I was really salty when I couldn't beat the first level after 20 minutes, but I just couldn't stop playing because in all honesty it is a fun game. I wish the narrator didn't repeat the same thing over and over and the beginning of most levels, but after all, he is supposed to be a dick. All in all though, I do recommend this game and even though it makes me want to kill myself it is really fun.

It's relatively easy to write a funny joke and put it inside a game. It's harder to use game mechanics to turn the gameplay itself into a funny joke. This game manages to do both. A masterpiece of an old game comedy genre, the "unfair platformer" (think Kaizo Mario), it murders you in all the funniest and silliest ways, while the narrator, a foul-mouthed psychopath of GLaDOS scale, mocks your every action. Short and spicy, this game manages to turn even the frustration into comedy.

really troll but extremely fun

Surprise! You're Dead! That's what the theme of the game is. You travel along as the little postman and the enviroment surprise kills you with traps, then you reset and you then can avoid the trap. Then five feet later you get killed by another trap. This goes on forever. You walk, die, repeat. The narration is kinda funny but the games core is just boring. The game's jump also is auto jump. Like a bouncing ball. ugh. One hit deaths, repetitive play, postman on a jumping stick, no thanks.
