* WakeUpCallBoss: In the first game, Deadwood is a step up from [[WarmUpBoss Frostwind]], who has a predictable attack pattern, because he spawns in shadow enemies every second and occasionally causes earthquakes, stunning the Hero. The shadow inside Deadwood is also quite difficult to beat because it moves extremely fast and also causes earthquakes.
** The Giant Robosa in the second game is quite a challenge as well. The robot itself has a predictable attack pattern, but if you get hit by one of its fists, it is immune to damage. Also, once you get it to zero health, it sucks you inside and makes you fight its eyes, which breathe fire and have rocket guns to protect them, and its heart, which has homing rocket guns to protect it.

"Underrated" is YMMV.


''Drawn to Life'' is an [[NeedsMoreLove incredibly underrated]] video game developed by 5th Cell about a village inhabited by "Raposa," [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter small, furry creatures]] [[CartoonCreature supposedly meant to be foxes]]. The Raposa village you name later has been under attack by Wilfre, who covers the village in shadow (feel familiar, anyone?). Mari then asks the Creator for help. [[AGodIsYou You're the Creator]], and you draw a hero to help. This hero... well, you can draw it and it moves. Pretty cool gimmick. The hero must travel across the world, through the four gates in the village, defeating the shadow, returning the lost Raposa to the village, and collecting the missing pages of the Book of Life to restore the village to its former glory.

He also briefly convinced Mari to help him, but she later decided it'd be more noble to sacrifice their entire world so one boy could wake up back in his.]]
