YMMV / Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley

• Annoying Video Game Helper:
  • Star hates Captain Smiley and loves Brad.
  • Gerda (un)helpfully pointing out when your health is running low.
• Anti-Climax Boss: After reiterating the entire first stage again with one different mid-boss (itself a reuse of one from 'Splosion Man), Smiley takes on Brad in his Bradcopter and the Bradbots at once. He isn't as challenging as the previous major boss, Mutant Hehe, and after taking down his vehicle the final fistfight with him is laughably easy.
• Awesome Music: Brad's theme song
• Goddamn Bats. Every. Flying. Enemy.
• The Scrappy: Gerda. The constant "Your health is now...<insert insult here>" is usually one of the main criticisms aimed at the game. Admit it, when Smiley left her in the bank to die again, you delighted at the prospect of her silence. Alas she still talks afterward.
• Shallow Parody: Twisted Pixel's idea of what constitutes Bishojo manga is fairly off the mark, but for obvious reasons. Smiley even admits it when the Heart Bats show up and attack.
  Smiley: It's like they didn't know anything about manga and just drew whatever they felt like!
• Surprise Difficulty: The game is harder than it looks, with the difficulty really ramping up in the Silver Age and Manga levels. But as mentioned several times on this page, you've got infinite continues. The optional Challenges are by far the hardest thing in the game, as you've only got one hitpoint in them.
• That One Boss: Mutant Hehe. Not only does he have a large health amount and has some pretty hefty attacks, the girls' magic restore his health to full three times, making Hehe a Marathon Boss as well.
