Stumbling together through Snake, Rattle 'n' Roll - Part 2

[davidn]

Unbelievable as it may seem after watching even the first video, the second part of Snake, Rattle 'n' Roll ramps up the difficulty in a variety of miscellaneous preposterous ways, including:

• Waterfalls and currents
• Enemies that appear out of nowhere
• Precision-timed geyser-hopping
• Ice
• Slopes
• Icy slopes
• Slopey ice
• Icy feet
• Each other

I cannot imagine playing through this game with an initial complement of nine lives. Whoever designed the levels must have had a real interest in watching the frustration of others - maybe he'd just gone through a messy divorce.

I think our exchange at the beginning of that level just about sums it up perfectly.

DavidN: And still the happy music on this torturous, murderous level!
Kjorteo: Oh, now we're back to the friendly part again. Don't worry, this game--
(Kjorteo dies)
DavidN: So I see.
