Guiness Pint (NDXL)
Meet Max, a stroppy seven year old ghosty boi who wants you out of his room! My first level, and I’m really happy to be able to be a part of The Gyntening! Thanks to Starrlet for the incredible thumbnail!
Guiness Pint is a level for the Gyntening created by NDXL. It features Max as a ghost boss, and Chad as its “savior” character. The level is Advanced difficulty, and takes place inside Max's bedroom.
Layout
Opening
Vertical lasers appear on-screen as attacks, and are eventually joined by triangle bullets drifting across from the right. Halfway through, Max makes his entrance in the center of the scren. As he introduces himself and tells the player to leave his room, the laser attacks return.
Checkpoint 1
Max transforms both of his hands into two persistent rectangles that stay onscreen, creating a cross shape in the center. With a crosshair indicator as a warning, Max teleports into each of the squares formed to create a pulse that fills it. Horizontal lasers and bomb attacks from the center of the screen appear as well. After this, Max teleports to the center and creates a shockwave before moving to the top of the screen. As both horizontal lasers and bullets appear with rotating lasers from the corners of the screen, Max moves his hands around as well, transforming them into larger hexagons.
Checkpoint 2
Chad knocks Max out of the way as he moves to the center of the screen, and promptly starts bragging about how he saved the player. This part has some small bullet attacks from Chad’s body, but is otherwise calm.
Not too long from his “rescue” however, Max returns and takes off both of Chad’s hands. Knocking out both of his teeth and holding him in the center of the screen, Max warns Chad that he’s angered his father seconds before his death - Max’s Dad eats Chad whole with Max disappearing shortly before.
Checkpoint 3
After the camera zooms out, the screen shakes as Max’s Dad chomps down at the screen repeatedly. His first attack kills Chad as he is eaten whole.
Two spinning sets of four lasers appear on the top of the screen, in each corner. As they rotate, Max’s Dad continues to chomp at the center of the screen.
Checkpoint 4
The camera zooms in as the level starts scrolling to the right. Max’s Dad attacks the left side of the screen, forcing the player to keep moving. During this part, Max also drifts around on the right side of the screen not attacked by his father.
Surprised that the player is still alive, Max returns to the center of the screen after the attacks end. He gives up and lets the player go, knowing that a mysterious figure won’t be happy but deciding to take a nap. The level then shows its list of credits and special thanks.
