Spent the first few minutes playing the minigame from the last video, and I eventually managed to get a score of 100. This gave me a bomb blueprint, which turned out to be the final item I needed to beat the final boss.
Once I managed to beat The Jingolo, a few dialog boxes popped up on screen. These unfortunately weren't captured in this video, but they were basically just thanking the player for beating side A, and also giving the password for unlocking side B. For my copy of the game, the password is "dec31dec20". This might work for other copies as well, or not, idk.
Also, the credits gave the name of the developer as "Alex Seaboard". I'm not sure if this is his real name because I can't find much on google about this name, but thought it was worth mentioning here anyway.
Anyway, I spent the rest of the video playing through the beginning of side B. Side B seems to be a harder version of side A, because the map layout is pretty similar, expect it's way harder, which I guess makes sense.
One weird thing about side B is that sometimes enemies just seem to disappear when you try to fight them, and I don't think that ever happened in side A. Also, the game over screen is a photograph from 9/11. Very strange.
Hopefully in the next video I can beat at least one of the bosses, either the DC or Texas one. They both seem tough but the Texas one is definitely more annoying, the random math it makes you do is super repetitive.

I managed to beat the Moonlight Killer after spending a long time grinding for items and coins. The gun he dropped was the third item for the stools. This unlocked a secret room in the house, which contained 5 debug tools.
There was also an interesting minigame on the computer inside the room, maybe I'll play it again at some point to try to get the "special prize" for a score of 100. Two more strange images opened on my browser while I was in this room. They are linked below.
Even with the help of the debug tools, which do 999 damage each, I still couldn't beat the Jingolo. The 3rd stage is just too hard. I'll spend another few hours trying to beat it in the next video as I reckon I will be able to if I just throw enough attempts at it and get lucky. It's possible I'm doing something wrong, if I am please leave a comment.
I wasn't making any progress with beating the Jingolo, so I reset the game and tried to buy the knife of the non-believers. However, I couldn't figure out what it is supposed to do. If anyone knows please leave a comment.
I also realised that you're supposed to place the items that you get from the bosses on the chairs in your house. I don't know what the 3rd item for the chairs is. The game didn't seem to let me place the knife of the non-believers there, so it must need a different item that I have not gotten yet.
I spent the rest of the video grinding enemies to get as many coins as possible. Once I've killed every other enemy, I'm gonna buy as many entities and possible and make another attempt at beating the Moonlit Killer and the Jingolo.
I definitely wouldn't recommend playing this game for this long. I had to stop because my eyes starting hurting and I was feeling physically sick. Playing The Jingol is not a particularly user-friendly experience.
It took me a while to figure out the card numbers. I then spent nearly one hour trying to beat the jingolo, but I couldn't get past the 3rd stage. I will try to beat it again in a few days because my eyes have started hurting.
This game came with no explanation and is very surreal, so it took me hours to learn the basic mechanics. Like last time, this game opened tabs in my browser without warning.

This is footage from side A. There is also a side B, however it is password protected. I do not think I have completed all of side A, this is just my first hour of gameplay.
This game took a while to figure out as it is confusing at first. A few files for enemy noises were missing, so I had to replace them with placeholders. Whenever you hear a windows beep sound, that is one of my placeholders.

This game has some problems. The gameplay only takes up the corner of my screen. 4:43 - Metris crashed and had to be reset. Two of the five backgrounds have incorrect previews. Rotation and movement are awkward. Keyboard Repeat Mode causes the down arrow to instantly end the game. The pause menu is... interesting. I think it's still pretty fun regardless.Jump King Top 6 Runners - Comparisongoblin2021-12-20 | Inspired by this video: youtu.be/OWsIUVDgf10 I only did the top six because the top ten is too cluttered.Jump King Comparison - Walking, Jumping, TAS Hoppinggoblin2021-12-05 | I have seen people asking how much time TAS hopping saves, so I made this. Created late at night so if there are mistakes please tell me I will look in the morning.
Personal conclusion: Don't try to emulate TAS hopping. You won't be perfect so the time saved is negligible.
