History VideoGame / EryisAction

''Eryi's Action'' is a [[NintendoHard devilishly hard]] platformer by the doujin circle XTAL SWORD. It is the SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/SyobonAction''.

* MeaninglessLives: As if taking a page from ''VideoGame/SyobonAction'', the game starts with a 3-life counter that runs into the negatives [[PlatformHell very]] [[NintendoHard quickly]], and which currently serves as the page image for the trope.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''VideoGame/SyobonAction'', made by the same lead developer. Both games have "Action" in the title, very similar styles of traps, and [[MeaninglessLives infinite lives coupled with life counters that go into the negatives]].

* TemporaryPlatform: Many platforms will disappear the moment you step on them, usually before you have the chance to jump to escape the inevitable BottomlessPit or SpikesOfDoom.

* InvisibleBlock: It's usually best to jump from over a BottomlessPit as early as possible, since there's a distinct chance you'll bump your head into suddenly appearing blocks otherwise, which will cause you to fall to your doom. Probably again.

* ClassicVideoGameScrewYous: Many. The game is [[RefugeInAudacity absurdly creative]] about it too!

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Croco.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Eryi has green hair. One of the enemy fairies have sky blue hair.

* DropTheWashtub: Just one of the many, many ways this game can kill you.

In this game, your skills and wits will be tested as you go through many traps and hazards you won't see coming. And you will probably die. [[TheManyDeathsOfYou A lot]]. Thankfully [[DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist death is just a slap on the wrist]] and you have limitless lives so you can try to avoid being killed by the elaborate traps again... [[RunningGag and again]]... [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment and]] [[RuleOfThree again]]...

* UnfortunateNames: '''[[{{Gasshole}} Farta.]]'''

An English version of the game was released on UsefulNotes/{{DESURA}} on September 9th, 2012, by Nyu Media; and released via Steam Greenlight on November 9th, 2013. The English Web site for the game and the game's trial version can also be found [[http://eryisaction.com/ here]].

* GenkiGirl: If you leave Eyri standing still, her IdleAnimation starts with her bouncing up and down on the spot and ends with her making a helicopter out of her hair.

* InvisibleBlock: It's usuall best to jump from over a BottomlessPit as early as possible, since there's a distinct chance you'll bump your head into suddenly appearing blocks otherwise, which will cause you to fall to your doom. Probably again.

* ClothingDamage: Some traps will tear Eryi's clothes off, but thankfully she manages to cover herself.

* OurTrollsAreDifferent: ''Very'' different - Farta the troll looks more like a fairy (she's even more fairy-like than Eyri, who actually ''is'' a fairy). She's also a troll [[{{Troll}} in another sense]].

* AWinnerIsYou: The basic ending already isn't that special - [[spoiler: just all the game's characters walking by before you see a shot of Eryi eating her melon with an injured Farta looking on.]] But what's your reward for completing the game's hard mode? [[spoiler: ....the exact same ending, set to different music, with Farta in a slightly different pose in the final shot.]]

* MeaninglessLives: As if taking a page from ''VideoGame/SyobonAction'', the game starts with a 3-life counter that runs into the negatives [[PlatformHell very]] [[NintendoHard quickly]].

* UnwinnableByDesign: If a trap or mistake doesn't kill Eryi outright, it will likely prevent her from getting to the goal. For example, in Stage 1, [[spoiler:you can use a bomb on the goal flag to destroy it]], preventing you from finishing the stage.

* XMeetsY:
** It's ''VideoGame/KaizoMarioWorld'' meets ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' but with emphasis on puzzle-solving rather than action.
** Alternatively, it's ''VideoGame/SyobonAction'' with a cutesy aesthetic. The name may even be a ShoutOut, as the games share the same lead developer.
