About the Game
Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure is a fantastic 2008 action puzzle/platformer for the Nintendo DS. It is quite literally a puzzle/platformer - we'll be simultaneously juggling a 2D action game on one screen, and a Puzzle League clone on the other. This game is charming, hilarious, and has some of the best video game music you've never heard before. It's also hard. Like, absurdly hard - you won't really get a sense of it in the first few videos, but the game's difficulty is oftentimes unrelenting.

He's got competition, namely his rival, Weasleby. the Pompous Adventurers' Club's #2 adventurer. Arrogant and resourceful, Weasleby will stop at nothing to prove he's a better adventurer than Hatsworth even resorting to sneaky, underhanded tactics.
About the LP
Joining me as always are pdPreciousRoy and ChaosArgate. Both are going in completely blind (Chaos saw a few minutes of test footage but that doesn't count) and I cannot wait to see their reactions to some of the craziest moments. This will be a 100% LP - we'll be getting every upgrade and completing every secret level. This is one of those games where getting everything is almost a requirement to beat the final boss - and even then, you'll need all the help you can get.
As a special incentive to
Unlike my previous LPs, there will not be separate videos for cut and uncut commentary - it's not like this game has the deepest lore or anything. That being said, please don't spoil anything related to upcoming gameplay or the small amount of story the game does have. Especially that boss. You know the one.
