Average sans fangame difficulty

This is just an average sans fangame. If I tried to beat this game, by the time I would’ve beaten it it would’ve been 5 years since I’ve even touched grass. In my opinion, a undertale fangame is fair if it’s not just spam, luck, and you can no hit.

Credits to @SaltyLily for the gameplay, I have no idea how you even managed but congrats!

Perhaps I’ll just start uploading random reaction videos like these (I am still into undertale, what? You thought I quit undertale forever?) (my old fans, if you’re still here I hope you enjoyed this video!)

They probably playtested every attack while having full hp and just thought " yeah it's not THAT bad"

undertale: a story filled game with some dodging like a bullet hell but managable
the fanbase: i only heard bullet hell

Love how this nails every cliche you can think of
-Ridiculous sprites
-"You think I'm weak enough to be taken down in one blow?"
-Loud sounds every millisecond
-Very crazy and discordant music
-Sans portrayed as not lazy or weak
-A bunch of *unnecessary* mechanics

The hardest part isn't even avoiding the attacks in game. It's avoiding the attacks from giving you a seizure.

"Bro already tried it and a no-hit is possible, you're just bad"

[Nullnut]

I love how this has every single Sans fangame cliche in the book
- Edgy battle sprites
- Stupidly long turns
- Ridiculously unfair attack pacing
- Ear-bleeding sounds every 6 frames
- "You think you're good enough to kill me in one blow?! I'm not THAT
- Crazy music
- Sans has a god complex for some reason

Just remember that every fangame that starts with "Dis-" or "Dust-" is going to be bullet hell.

this is why we need more pacifist fangames jesus christ

Toby makes ONE boss fight with the funny bone man and half the fandom decides it wasn't hard enough.

The warm up Merg does before no hitting a sans fangame

[kalebbyrge]

I think Undertale fangames and FNF mods have proven that most people aren't good game designers, and that test playing is *VERY* important.

To all the people comparing this with Touhou...

_As a Touhou player, at least those games feel fair and fun to play._

Undertale players memorizing their dad's belt attack patterns so they can no hit it:

[SSFAnimates]

sans in fangames:
-edgy as hell
-has more phases than all of the cuphead bosses combined
-completely out of character

sans in canon:
-just trying to make you reset bc he knows things will not end well
-will try to dodge but accepts if he gets hit
-still has a chilled personality while casually obliterating you

[wispyspectre]

the reason you're allowed to attack and heal at the same time is because unavoidable damage is part of their idea of 'balance'

[greycat]

See the issue isn't the difficulty, it's the design philosophy where they just kinda throw attacks at you in rapid succession
Toby Fox likes to make the player do something specific and different for each attack, meanwhile fangames sort of just expect you to do a couple different things but at increasing speed or simply memorize the attack

[TheSuperGoober]

What I find funny is that most fangames and AUs completely misunderstand and misuse sans's actual character, unless its an AU that changes their personality directly like Swap or Fell, etc. (actually, most fan media in general misuse classic sans). He doesnt have DETERMINATION. he doesnt care that much to where he would go that ballistic (heck, in canon he probably couldn't as magic is directly tied to the soul. Given how much he sweat, im sure that the actual sans fight was him going all out). And hes also Nihilistic. He knows you can reset, whilst not remembering. And when you finally do defeat him, hes like "welp...guess thats it, huh". He tried, he failed, and oh well, A for effort. Fangames are just silly to me

[DarknessAlmighty]

The quality (or lack thereof) of some of these fangames really makes you appreciate how Toby was able to get it so right.

[TheTlank]

just play touhou 5 hours per hour and that will be a cakewalk to no-hit
