[[invoked]]* ObviousBeta: The entire game is an InUniverse example. Despite the Developer's insistence that the game is perfect, it is still riddled with bugs: inverted controls in some areas, glitchy user interfaces, [=NPCs=] behaving oddly due to bad coding, translated lines appearing where they shouldn't, and strange game behavior during battles are just a few examples of the game's issues.

* HopelessBossFight: The End Game Boss cannot be beaten. The moment you enter combat against it, it fires off an attack that deals far more damage than your health bar can take. Getting killed by this boss [[spoiler:is necessary to enter the incredibly glitchy version of Whiskerburg]].


Added DiffLines:

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Kuborg packs quite a punch despite his small size; a single scythe attack from him can take almost half of Terrorbane's health.

...Were it not for all the bugs that still plague the game.

For all of his boasting, the Developer's programming skills leave a lot to be desired, but he's very proud of his creation and he wants you to experience its magnificence for yourself. As the Player, it is up to you to take up the position of unofficial playtester, dive into the game, and find all of the bugs that still lurk in the code.

Maybe if you find enough, you can convince the Developer that the game could probably use some more development time before it is released.

''tERRORbane'' was released on April 1, 2022 for the PC via Steam and the Nintendo Switch.

!!The Developer swears that ''tERRORbane'' has no bugs, but it does have the following tropes:

* {{BFS}}: The Eversteel is a massive greatsword with the power to slay Xondar. However, its true power is [[spoiler:letting you slash the environment and access part of the game's code]].
* ButThouMust: No matter what you choose when entering your character's name, the Developer will always force you to pick the name "Terrorbane."
* FirstPersonSmartass: While you, as the Player, don't have any spoken dialogue, the various post-it notes on your bug list has you snarking about the game's numerous bugs.
* HelloInsertNameHere: At some point in the game, you are told to name the player character. No matter what you choose, the Developer will name the character "Terrorbane." Your first choice will still pop up occasionally as you play the game, as the Developer didn't do a good job replacing every instance of your first choice with "Terrorbane" in the game's code.
* MinusWorld: If you [[spoiler:get killed by the End Game Boss but try to enter Whiskerburg again instead of being revived]], you'll end up in an extremely glitched out version of Whiskerburg. And yes, there are plenty of bugs to find in this already buggy mess of a city.
* NoKillLikeOverkill: If you pick a fight with the End Game Boss, it will launch a multi-hit attack that does 9999 damage with each hit before your character can even do anything. Your character, by the way, only has around 153 HP.
* ObviousBeta: The entire game is an InUniverse example. Despite the Developer's insistence that the game is perfect, it is still riddled with bugs: inverted controls in some areas, glitchy user interfaces, [=NPCs=] behaving oddly due to bad coding, translated lines appearing where they shouldn't, and strange game behavior during battles are just a few of the issues with the game.
