Dishonest Trailer Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "From the makers of 'Where did all the good platformers go?' comes Vertical Drop Heroes HD, the rogue-lite action game where heroes fall down... and often never get back up. Get ready for random chaos, weirdly dumb AI allies, and all the spikes, lava, and weird enemies you can handle—all packed into one drop of a game that will make you question why you decided to keep playing after your fifth death." Macho Man Randy Savage: "OH YEAH, BROTHER! When I say ‘random chaos,’ I mean it, DIG IT! This game’s got more surprises than a bag of tricks in a wrestling match, and you know what? Sometimes it works out, but most of the time, it’s like getting slammed into a steel chair by fate, man!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "Exactly, Randy. You’ll be exploring procedurally generated levels, meaning each run is a complete mystery—and by mystery, I mean ‘Will I get the best power-up or just some healing potion when I’m about to fight the final boss?’" Hulk Hogan: "WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER, when you get that ‘Regenerate Health’ power-up and your screen’s still packed with enemies and spikes?! You ain't regenerating nothing but frustration, brother!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "Yeah, the game is so random, it’ll make you wish for a ‘save game’ option that actually works. Too bad, no Steam Cloud, no easy way to save your progress, which means... enjoy replaying the same stages over and over again—especially if you're unlucky enough to get killed by a slime before your game even starts." Macho Man Randy Savage: "OH YEAH, BROTHER! No Steam Cloud?! What are you—A FOOL?! This game wants you to earn your victories by repeatedly falling into pits, battling unpredictable bosses, and doing it all again! You gotta be tough to survive in this world, DIG IT!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "Sure, Randy, but sometimes you just want to save and go eat without having to restart your whole run. But no, you can’t—because there’s no Steam Cloud. What is this, 1995?" Hulk Hogan: "And it’s not just about saving your progress, brother! It’s about staying alive when your allies are more likely to jump into spikes than actually help you out!" Macho Man Randy Savage: "Yeah, dude! Those pixelated fools you bring along for the ride? They’re about as much help as a rusty chair leg! But hey, every once in a while, you get a real gem. Like a madman who can actually jump over spikes without running into them! WHOOO, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "Right, there are some rare heroes who might actually save your behind once in a while. But mostly, you’ll be dragging them through dangerous corridors, hoping they don’t decide to leap headfirst into yet another trap." Hulk Hogan: "Brother, if you don’t think you’re gonna lose a hero or two... then you ain't ready for this, man! It's just like when I faced off against the Iron Sheik—you think you’ve got it figured out, but NOPE! Life hits you harder than a pile-driver!" Macho Man Randy Savage: "And that’s what makes this game SO delicious, YEAH! Every moment is unpredictable, chaotic, and just when you think you’ve got it under control... WHAMMO! You drop into another pit and lose your progress AGAIN, brother!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "At least there’s the satisfaction of falling in style, right? With a huge variety of characters and abilities, you’ll get to swing your sword, fire spells, and drop like a rock with all the finesse of a drunken acrobat." Macho Man Randy Savage: "Ohhh YEAH, you get some wild abilities, alright! But don't get too attached to any of 'em, because one moment you're swinging a flaming sword, and the next you're face-first in a puddle of goo, wondering where your health went!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "Also, shoutout to the game’s beautiful retro art style. It’s like someone took a trip back to the '80s, grabbed a handful of pixels, and just threw 'em at the screen to see what would stick." Hulk Hogan: "Well let me tell ya somethin’, brother, sometimes those 80s graphics are like the Hulkster’s leg drop—iconic and powerful—but other times, they just make you scratch your head and wonder, 'What in the world is going on here?!'” Macho Man Randy Savage: "Yeah! And the enemies! You get some wild ones—like flying eyeballs that shoot lasers, skeletons that come back from the dead after you've already killed ‘em, and... oh yeah... spiky walls of death that you definitely didn’t see coming, YEAH!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "You’ve got skeletons, flying eyeballs, and—let’s not forget the spikes—basically everything that makes you question your life choices. But hey, that’s the fun of the game, right? It’s a ‘try, try again’ kind of game." Hulk Hogan: "Exactly, brother! You keep coming back for more! It’s like the never-ending battle of good vs. evil. Or in this case... good vs. gravity, spikes, bad RNG, and a bunch of allies that really need a map!" Macho Man Randy Savage: "Yeah! This game’s about resilience, man. Like when you take one step forward and then fall two steps back, you gotta pick yourself up, shake it off, and dive right back into the drop! WHOOO, that’s the real test!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "So if you’re looking for a game that combines the thrill of falling with the joy of grinding—oh, and did we mention the constant dying—then look no further than Vertical Drop Heroes HD!" Hulk Hogan: "It’s not for the faint of heart, brother. But if you’re ready to take the challenge and keep coming back like a true warrior—then get ready to drop in style!" Macho Man Randy Savage: "OH YEAH, BROTHER! You don’t just play this game—you survive it! And if you can’t survive? Well then you just try again, YEAH! You gotta be the king of the drop!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "Vertical Drop Heroes HD: It’s like a chaotic rollercoaster where you can’t even strap in—and you probably won’t survive to the next loop." Macho Man Randy Savage: "BUT YOU KEEP COMIN’ BACK! DIG IT?" Hulk Hogan: "Cause that's what champions do, brother! They fall, and they get right back up!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: "Vertical Drop Heroes HD: You’ve been warned... or have you? This game will make you question everything, including your life choices... but you'll keep coming back, 'cause deep down, you know you can't resist the drop." Macho Man Randy Savage: "Ohhh YEAH, this is one game you gotta embrace—like the madness that is the Macho Man’s life!" Hulk Hogan: "And if you’re still here, you’re gonna love what’s next, brother! Don’t drop the ball now!" Macho Man Randy Savage: "OH YEAH! Time to drop like a champion!" Hulk Hogan: "WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE VERTICAL DROP HEROES RUN WILD ON YOU?!" Honest Trailer Voiceover Guy: (Exasperated sigh) "Let’s just roll the credits…" n the depths of pixel lands, we fall, Heroes cast from shadows, answering the call. Each level random, filled with despair, Where gravity’s wrath is always there. Allies? You can't always trust— They jump into pits, leaving you to dust. Bosses are ruthless, with no mercy shown, You’ll die again, and again, alone. But with each fall, you rise once more, A hero in a drop, ready to soar. No save for your progress, no cloud to keep, Just endless retries, and enemies that leap. Yet through the chaos, the challenge and pain, You’ll drop and rise, again and again. Through traps and monsters, you'll endure, Struggling for victory, craving something more. The random powers come and go, Leaving you wondering which way to flow. The pixel art shines with retro grace, But don’t let that smile fool your face. For every victory, there’s a cost, A moment of joy that’s quickly lost. But in this chaos, you’ll find delight, Each fall a lesson, each death a fight. So drop again, hero, don’t despair, Victory waits somewhere in the air.
