History VideoGame / DistortedTravesty

* FiveBadBand

* VitriolicBestBuds: Jerry and Jeremy, Type 2.

* RandomEncounters: Played with in Gate 2, where walking around in the overworld invokes this, but after obtaining the bow and arrow, Jeremy figures out how to alter the random encounters to how they worked in ''VideoGame/Zelda2TheAdventureOfLink''. This doesn't make avoiding battle too much easier, but it's at least an improvement to Jerry.

'''Distorted Travesty''' is a "Fast Paced Satirical Action Platformer" made in Game Maker by Dark Yoshi (aka. Zephyr Burst). It follows the story of two gamers with no clear goals in life. These two are Jerry, the most hardcore of hardcore gamers, and Jeremy, who partakes in some light hacking and playing jokes. You control Jerry, while Jeremy sits on the fourth wall and gives you aid throughout the game.

** Especially the [[ThatOneBoss Shroud Lord]] once it gets down to its final life bar. [[http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t204/thehappyfungame/DistortedTravesty/980f8a6febccb5ddab11562cc8377433.png This screenshot]] speaks for itself.[[note]]The only videos on {{Youtube}} of this boss being defeated are in easy mode. Let that sink in for a moment.[[/note]]

* SkillPointReset: [[DemonsCrest Firebrand the demon]] does this for a small amount of money.

* PeopleJars: Found in the Black Rock Fortress [[spoiler: containing, among others, VideoGame/MegaManClassic, Mario, Link, and [[{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]].]]

* MultipleEndings: The game originally had only one ending... an ending that caused a stir among the fans, to put it mildly. A later update added a "True" ending that can only be accessed by defeating the [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]], causing the endgame to go very differently.

* BaconAddiction: The final muffin is bacon flavored, which Jerry calls the best muffin to ever exist.

** Gate 5, being based on Metroid, employs it's own checkpoint system, so you don't even get a checkpoint at the start of each room. Better not forget to make use of those checkpoints often, or you'll have a LOT to redo.

* StopHelpingMe[[invoked]]: Jeremy really likes to talk during segments that require a lot of concentration. Naturally lampshaded whenever Jerry gets pissed off at him for it. And whenever it happens, he's usually talking about pointless, inane things, and then sometimes keeps going just to piss off Jerry.

* VoodooShark: Jerry's excuse for being [[DGrayMan Allen Walker]]: He was cosplaying as him just before the events of the game. Though that doesn't explain how he can use the [[ShapeshifterWeapon Crown Clown.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: The Darkness. The first thing it does after causing the Phase Distortion is capture all the heroes [[spoiler:and gamers]], as they would be the ones most likely to stop its plans. It also takes notice when Jerry complains that he's not too good at BulletHell games, and makes sure to introduce lots of BulletHell traps and enemies from that point onward.

* BagOfSpilling: The player characters lose EVERY ability they once had right at the start of the game. [[YouHaveResearchedBreathing Jeremy unlocks their ability to move early on]], but everything else, including jumping and attacking, has to be earned later. [[spoiler:Hexor once again removes all of their abilities except for the Mario-related ones during his boss fight, and while Jeremy is able to exploit a one-time loophole involving Kirby's Copy ability to get them back for the final battle, afterward they're gone for good.]]

* HaveANiceDeath: Jeremy gets his seat back in this game, and as merciless as ever.

** In the Construction Site, at one point a CHAOS Spiderbot attacks you... but when it tries to use its antigravity maneuver to crawl on the ceiling, it forget that ''there is no ceiling'' and [[EpicFail falls into the sky]]. The characters shrug, have a laugh, and move on. Many, many, ''many'' screens later, the Spiderbot falls from the sky in front of you at the entrance to the Magical Castle, instantly destroying itself.

* BrickJoke: In one of the {{Brutal Bonus Level}}s, you get this [[AltText window title]]:
--> "Our electrical bills were getting too high, so we replaced most of ther currents with spikes. We apologise for the inconvenience."
:: :Two screens later, there's a room with electrical currents, with this window title:
--> "We ran out of spikes. We apologise for the convenience."

* AlwaysAccurateAttack: The Aero Scanner's HitScan laser will always hit you if there isn't a wall or object in the way.[[note]]As with most attacks, you can dash through it to avoid taking damage, though.[[/note]]

* HitScan: Aero Scanners track you with laser sights for a second or two before shooting a HitScan laser at you. Fortunately, you can hide behind walls and objects to avoid it.
