* '''''Jeff the Killer''''' is a series of {{Jump Scare}}s of DerivativeWorks/JeffTheKiller[='=]s face, along with a spider for some reason. There is absolutely nothing else that's scary in the game. There's a couple of keys to use on doors, as well as a gun which is used once (on the spider), has terrible aim, and has no place being in a Creepypasta-inspired game. Since you get a weapon, you have to have a health meter, which goes down whenever you look at the monsters, and losing all of your health causes the entire building to take off into space, leaving you behind with Jeff's face. Winning is pretty much AWinnerIsYou, and finding the real ending is hard due to the confusing level design and awful, constantly flashing lighting. And all the music is HellIsThatNoise, just for maximum irritation. Admittedly, Jeff's face is pretty scary, but even that is ruined by its two-dimensional appearance, and that's all the game has going for it, believing that star power is all it really needs.

* The very first game that Vinny from WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksueH37_i78 played in his Android Trash series]] was '''''Cup Hand Adventure''''', an endless runner that [[TheMockbuster attempts to cash-in on]] ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' in the laziest way possible. The graphics are completely generic, and the characters are blatant {{Captain Ersatz}}es of Cuphead and Mugman that have a drinking glass and bowl for a head, respectively. The gameplay is no better: you just walk forwards and jump to collect coins and avoid tree stumps (that kill you for some reason). The thing that pushes this game from "boring ripoff" into "horrible" is the presence of airplane powerups. They randomly appear, and touching one makes your character fly over the obstacles for a few seconds, but once it ends there's a good chance it'll drop you off right on top of a tree stump, ending the game instantly with nothing you could have done, effectively meaning any given airplane could be an unintentional PoisonMushroom that can't be distinguished from a safe powerup. Your jumps aren't high enough to avoid the airplanes, so not dying is completely a LuckBasedMission. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaSARsQPQSY This video shows off a bit more of the game if you're still curious.]]

* '''''WAVE!! Naminori Boys''''' was a licensed gacha game based on a surfing-themed anime, with rhythm-based gameplay, that offered a fully-voiced story... just a shame it was impossible to get any fun out of it. The game was poorly optimised, with even the highest-end phones struggling to move from one UI page to another. During gameplay, it felt unresponsive to your inputs (instant death for a rhythm game), and skill activation animations covered the entire screen... even '''over the on-screen prompts''', rendering them impossible to read. The gacha elements, with low rates and high prices, were downright exploitative. Additionally, if your device's language was set to English, all of the text was replaced by obvious placeholders. Only three days after this [[ObviousBeta Obvious Pre-Alpha]] was shoved out in 2021, it was taken offline - because several voice actors were improperly credited, opening the developers up to actual lawsuits. A three-day maintenance to fix these issues instead lasted a month before developers MAGES decided there was nothing salvageable in this game and announced it was shutting down permanently. This [[https://noisypixel.net/wave-naminori-boys-shutting-down/ news article]] that covered the game's end of service is one of the last indications that it ever existed.
