Soon finished with a few games I've been working on, one of which this was supposed to be part of. One thing about me is that I would never triple the game size just to add something stupid to it, which is why I released it outside of the game.

Hope y'all don't hate me :(

Hey hey hey! This ain't no hippie fest! Here we live by rigid rules, and one of them is the golden ratio of rickrolling.

Rickrolling is the fine art of building up anticipation in a video for some spectacular/rare content, such as the nipple slip of celebrity X or footage from an undercover videogame and then hitting the viewer face-first with a well-timed "Never Gonna Give You Up". This ratio, could easily be seen in the following graph:

As you can see, the anticipation level grows as the video starts and fades off as the desired content is presented. It is in the exact peak of the anticipation, where the content would have presented itself, where the rickroll must be presented so as to garner the maximum amount of effect. This is what we call a Rickroll Supreme and it has left a-many YouTubers surprised and impressed in its wake.

This game had no build-up and thus cannot be part of the canon. I humbly ask it to be removed from the internet forever.


PS: If you were planning on having a rickroll inside a game, may I suggest that you cut the quality of the song down and maybe just have the first 30 seconds? The effect will still be the same, but there is no reason to have good and long audio when the initial shock effect wears off quite quickly.

Seriously, some people need to grow up and realize rick rolling isn't funny anymore.
No, I didn't download it, I read the thread. As a member of the internet for a long time I have to say rick rolling is very unoriginal.
