Spare a Thought for the Little Guy (2008)

by Saul Cross

Spare a Thought for the Little Guy is a platform game featuring ten levels.

You play as the guy who is fired from work and - as a result - his wife abandons him taking kids with her. The devil appears and makes you a new job offer - collecting lost souls. Each level (circle of hell) contains ten souls and in order to finish it you must collect them all. To make things harder, there's a bonus meter at the bottom of the screen - when you collect a soul it fills up and starts to drop. If you won't collect next soul in time - you lose a life. If you lose all lives - you start the game from the beginning.

Hit Space to jump, A and Z to climb up and down the ladder and Z to jump down from the rope.

  • Pater Alf :
    The game is hard without any question, but I think the difficulty is ok. You will need some time before you complete it, but if it would be easier you would solve a game with just 10 levels much too quick. Gameplay itself isn't spectacular and I don't think there is anything you haven't seen in other games before. But I liked the retro feeling and especially the music and the intro sequence.

    Can anyone try to contact him there? My signup process got really screwed up. And now I have to take a deep breath and count to 1000...

    Edit: 1001, 1002, 1003...oh...I got it now. No need to signup.

    I'm not sure, but it may be him here: http://www.remix64.com/member/saulc12/
    A C64 remixer also seems like the kind of guy to make such a game.
  • Chroelle :
    I hope Saul Cross can be found somewhere, as I rally want to get permission to host this little gem. There is unfortunately no way to get hold of him in the game folders...
  • eMTe :
    SATFTLG tells the story of the man who is fired from work and wife leaves him (with his own boss), taking kids of course. However helpful devil appears who only waits for our desperate guy to sign a pact...

    Forgetting the premise, basic goal of the game is to collect lost souls in each level and reach the exit. Game features beautiful retro graphics, annoying controls (left/right cursors + A/Z keys + space=jump) and is hard nonetheless.
