Last Command is a Snake Bullet Hell developed by No Stuck Studios, and published by Crespirit. The game was released on Steam on October 25th, 2022, and Nintendo Switch on January 19, 2023.
The player takes on the role of PYTHON, a snake-like crawler program, whose objective is to collect data points to do damage to opponents while dodging enemy bullets and attacks. The game introduces two new actions, Dash and Analyze, in addition to the basic arrow key controls found in Snake. Dash allows you to quickly avoid danger, while Analyze enables slower movement in any direction, making it easier to control PYTHON, along with the ability to shoot out data collected to damage enemies. By installing different chips, the player can enhance PYTHON's abilities with unique skills that can be combined to tackle various challenges presented in different levels.
Set in a world where humans have been digitized and no longer exist in physical form. The only beings left are artificial programs that were created to carry out the last commands given to them by humans. However, as time passed, these programs lost their purpose and meaning, leading them to question their existence. As one of these lost artificial programs, PYTHON encounters another program named Fei, and they embark on a journey through the digital world to explore and uncover the truth about their existence, overcoming challenges along the way.
- Bait-and-Switch Boss: In the Thousand Face Type B level, Thousand Face's latest creation, Tyrant, suddenly takes over the fight and whisks him away after the first two sections of his health bar are depleted. This development surprises Thousand Face, but he is delighted to see Tyrant come to life on its own. Furthermore, Tyrant goes on to replace the level's name with its own.
- Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: In the game, the colors of objects and projectiles indicate whether they pose a threat to PYTHON. Harmless items are colored white or grey, while red attacks harm the player. Purple attacks can be destroyed by dashing through them and provide an extra dash charge, while blue attacks can hurt unless PYTHON stops moving or dashes through them.
- Averted with Master Tao. The player should pay attention to the "word-based" or "color-based" texts displayed in the background, as they indicate the current rules for Master Tao's purple and blue attacks. It is worth noting that the color of his attacks is purposely mislabeled with the wrong text to confuse players.
- Pop Quiz: The Truth Publicity Official in the game will display elementary math problems that players must solve by staying in the corresponding "yes" or "no" area. Any incorrect responses will result in the boss blasting lasers at the incorrect and center areas.
