Not to be mistaken for Alan Caudel's The Adam's Birthday Saga Continues.

AKA Adam 95. The third game in the Adam's Birthday series.

Adam95Sprite.gif

Exploding level title, made of monster blocks.

Levels one and four have super animated backgrounds, where every tile ripples and flashes and undulates, which must have slowed contemporary PCs to a crawl. As per Game-Maker standards, it's frozen at the screen's edge.

Deliberately slow walking speed, as in Watch Me Die!. Peculiar, twitchy animation.

Slow walking speed carries comedic value, but may also serve to contrast movement speed with the dash move that serves as an early attack.

Meant to be very difficult.

One-hit death, at start. Branching paths, some of which lead to inevitable death.

Splashes when you fall in the slime.

Nice transition to the boss room.

Huge, well-designed boss monster. Brain abomination with an eye and a toothy mouth. Not obvious what to do; when you do the right thing, it changes view and Adam gets sucked into the monster's eyeball.

Level two with top-down maze and shifting currents in the mucky water.

Items lending new moves, including a roll and a spark explosion using many monsters.

Easy to duck or roll then stand or jump to clip through walls. Comes in handy during level 2.

Have to track down and collect every single present... but if you die, the counters don't reset, so that makes it easier.

Two secret exits from the level, one containing a bunch of presents to help with the main exit; one leading to an alternate ending.

Another in-game cutscene.

Darth Vader has stolen Adam's presents; must fly through space, shooting tie fighters from the first person, using a reticule.

More cutscenes with incoming tie fighters, then with Adam's ship escaping the Death Star before it explodes.

Background

Alan Caudel:

Earthworm Jim was an inspiration for a few of the games I did, including Lil' Choklit Donit Man as well as some of the elements of Adam's Birthday Game 3, I think that's where I got the idea for the floating "level 1" banner that explodes after the level starts.
