There is something that's so unsettling about this game. And it isn't the typical horror game tropes of jump scares and icky goo and standard horror music. The rhythms themselves set me on edge while intriguing me at the same time. It's fantastic.

It's a very well done game that ticks the Lovecraftian vibe of horror. You're a tiny little thing up against seemingly impossible odds. Granted you do get the ability to vanquish them, but still... it gets close.

I think the way the game uses rhythm to enhance _horror_ is a really cool concept. Area Infinite gives you a feel that there's absolutely no way this was meant to be seen, or even allowed to exist. That's terrifying. That's really cool and clever.

And so the space beetle ascended to the godhood... or descended into nothingness that comes before and after infinity... by which he could also descend into the more realistic godhood, which is... death. Died from extreme Gs and became embodyment of top speed. What a poetic end.

Did anyone else take the ending to mean you're not in space but actually in the grooves of a record? And that the final (final) boss is a stylus? It looks like one of you magnified it. It would match up with the record scratching/skipping sfx too. The beetle is so determined it breaks free from the music it's trapped in.

1:56 - That could actually make some sense at this part as it sounds like you/the Beetle are at the final tail end of the record itself. Like all the songs have finished playing and it’s about to pull up, but something you did causes the reality of that record to sorta break apart, causing that last fight to randomly speed up and slow down: warping itself to become as unusable as possible in hopes of destroying the Beetle with it. But instead… it persevered to that Great Unknown.

Well damn I guess you're technically getting your wish 7 years later (not a direct sequel but a similar game from the same creators lol)

The big prism is actually drawing the line, everytime you get so fast, you will see a glimpse, and then that prism will speed up as well, until you become just too fast to outrun, so then it decides to fight you, and fuck with the speed, until you destroy it, and you make it to the end of the line.

It took me so many tries to defeat the final boss... with the speed changes you have to memorise that "okay, so in 3 seconds, I will have 0,001 seconds to press 4 buttons at the same time", I could barely believe when I actually did it

Is it weird that the featureless geometric shapes and the blinding light at the end disturb me way more than the actual Eldritch Horrors in the game?

Shhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- I can't even see anything.

i like how when you beat the skull its like "shit this is my final form, i dont have any more. IF IM GOING DOWN, THEN YOURE GOING WITH ME" and then plummets towards you.

In my theory: Thumper is not only a horror rhythm game, but also an unusual world. Maybe the space beetle's orgin is that it lives in a peaceful world and a portal opens for the beetle to advance and takes the beetle to a world where it will never escape, the only way to escape the world is to play the road's music. And if you see the boss from the final level (infinity), that's the world's entity. The more the beetle plays the music of the road and advance way further, the weaker the entity it gets. Once you went to lv inf, the road and the world gets really corrupted (identified cuz of the slow, fast speed of the road and a random or no song) and this is because the entity became weak but still strong enough to create more road. If playing the road makes it weaker, using homing attaks makes it worse. If it dies, so does the world. Even though you defeated the entity but still has no physical damage, the entity falling shows that it's dead. Since it's dead, the road is finished. And how does the game end, by going to a portal that is either the beetle's world or another world. (if the Thumper franchise makes a sequel)

@tauheximus

6 жыл бұрын

Another possibility for where the beetle ends up after the final boss is that the beetle goes to a parallel universe where the road is much more dangerous than it already is, kicking off the events of Play+ mode. That still doesn't explain, however, why the beetle in Play+ is golden.

Once you played the game long enough your eyes are suddendly capable to see whatever coming at you and allow you to react VERY fast

2:35 I remember playing this part and just screaming not because of how fast it was going but how the game was causing me physical and mental pain just to remember to go right and left repeatedly that felt like hours of torture

...And then they turned into a space baby... named Super Kubrick...

I'm stopping right here, at a minute in I'm playing this for myself.

It feels like the skull wasn't meant to fall forwards, but backwards. Then we see debris twice and the level ends normally, like we've somehow glitched the game. Great horror game

this is crazy. like you have games like rhythm heaven, where you get simple, repetitive rhythms to slow beats, then there's this.

For anyone ever get a tough reaction on what comes next, let me remind you that it's not just an object that comes to you that you should focus, the sound is really important too... When you're able to distinguish between different kinds of SFX that played split second before what's Coming, then you can guess which will come first, be it like the Obstacle for example, as it has hi-hat SFX, when that played you'll bet your ass it'll be the obstacle next, and the small synth bass that represents the thumb ( blue rectangle ) This is actually the most optional way to help yourself during the stress of many object came, I know it may sound like an extra work but you'll get used to double multitasking... It's mostly going to help you out, if you play without sound then good luck with the muscle memory

THE GUY/GIRL PLAYING THIS IS AWESOME AND SO IS THE GAME I WANT IT

Level 9-27 has this kind of bizarre urgency to it. Like it never expected you to get this far, like you were never SUPPOSED to get this far, and the game is no longer trying to kill you, but desperately trying to PROTECT you from seeing something you really aren't meant to see.
