GINORMO SWORD

By: Derek Yu

On: May 27th, 2008

Or: “A man and his phallic symbol embark on a fantasy adventure.”

GINORMO SWORD (full title: “Long and Thick My Ginormo”) is a new Flash game from Barbarageo, creators of the fairly mediocre but similarly awesome-sounding UCHUFORCE 2 (Gesundheit!). It’s a simple hack n’ slash fantasy game – your character follows the mouse cursor and you can attack by clicking the left mouse button. The aim of each area is to uncover the various hidden battle zones, defeat the monsters within, and eventually defeat the boss of the area, allowing you to move on.

Along the way you’ll encounter helpful townspeople and mages who will let you upgrade your sword and learn magicks. One such character is the blacksmith, who, along with leveling your weapon, will let you increase the “length” and “thickness” of your sword. As far as I can tell, these size increases are mostly cosmetic, but then again, isn’t just having a longer and thicker “sword” enough?

It’s actually a pretty entertaining game, though. Fun graphics, too. Just be prepared to slam your left-mouse button a few thousand times to get through.

“Please, oh PLEASE add a mute button, whoever you are. Why canâ€™t Macromedia/Adobe add a mute option to the Flash plugin menu?!”

You can use the left and right arrows to change the volume. undocumented features FTW?

I found it easy farming gold if you face early bosses over and over. Looks like enchantments are really important later on.
Zaratus

There’s already volume controls. Try the left and right arrows.
Zaratus

Err, that’s what I get for typing my comment and not posting it for an hour later. =P

Anyway, it’t not undocumented. If you click below the game where it says “How to Play” it tells you the volume controls.

Stuck at Death now. I’m assuming he’s weak against “light” so I’m trying to farm some diamonds. And ‘Onix’ (sic) to increase dark resist.
Dusty Spur

Oh man, I am at the Lizard Assassin and it is ridiculous. Area 10 I think it is. Anyone know what he’s weak to or anything?

Last boss = “Oh sweet Jesus 7 more hours of playtime before I even come close to killing it.”

This game is awesome.

AHHHHHRGRGRGRR!!! I was playing this for most of yesterday, was up to level 10. Battery just ran out on laptop and had to restart. i though it was autosaving? Im back to the start! FUCKYOU GINORMOFUCK!!!
Worst best game ever. *cries*
John

Stuck at death also. Any suggestions for where to get diamonds? I only had one :P

My doppleganger took 20 minutes to kill. Just stood under him and clicked.

Worst. Fight. Ever.
Exeloume

@John

Diamonds drop mainly off the Snowqueen Boss in the 13th Area.

Also Doppelganger wears what you wear (except opposite attributes). So if you wear your worst armor it’s a lot easier. Still takes 5 minutes though.
Cheater

@Dusty Spur

Kill it with fire.

@John

You can also get them from the Harpy Princesses in the… second area. Semi-rare.

I’m now stuck on Yggdrasil. I thought I had gotten over lighting.
srickshaw

For some reason, this doesn’t want to run in either IE7 or Firefox 2.0.0.14 – any help?
Cheater

Try this link:

It will work eventually, just go back and click again.
John

Does light damage actually help on death? I swear i’m doing less now.
Exoduster

@Krux and any one else getting sent to the home page:

Instead of clicking “Click to Start”, click the game’s logo. Tada.
Exoduster

Actually, I take that back. Click in the area between the logo and “Click to Start”. You should see the regular pointer instead of the hand.
Pfizer

Have a level 300 energy sword and I can still barely touch the final boss. I’m just about to quit and consider it “beat”. (;

Holy crap.

There’s a secret area in the 8th map…it’s between the center, where you start, and the boss. It’s got random enemies from anywhere in the first 4 maps. they’re easy to kill, but do a lot of damage and give a lot of money, 200-3000 for a normal enemy.

But I just killed a Neko Slime Platinum, and got 6,000,000 gold. Read it. Six MILLION. Hell yes.
Kongming

Ehh… I killed a Seraph on one of the later levels and got something like 20,000,000. There are probably even better rewards.
someguy

Yeah, it’s relative to the area.
I killed a rare Arthur skeleton in the second snow area for 100,000,000.

Does anyone know how to get the chaser spell? I saw it for sale once but didn’t have enough money. Now I don’t know how to get it to reappear.
Radix

Chaser appears sometimes for 100,000,000 gold at Vpxcm City (where the dancing people are) in the ninth area. I assume you just need to enter and exit until it comes back.
Radix

Oops. Eighth area.
someguy

Thanks, got the Chaser spell now.

Basically I’m on the last boss. But I barely scratch him.

Took out the doppleganger, took ages!

Tried the abyss worm but can’t seem to scratch him either.
Lecarl

Wow. Those Arthur skeletons are nice. I killed one for 50,000,000.
Joola

I just noticed you were talking about ending the gme when i was farming meat, sorry, gold in the 5th area for the gauntlets. So I quit and played GGC instead. That’s my gaming life.
L4rgo

what jewels do i need to make my armor fireproof? where do i find them?
Radix

I think I’m done grinding. Time to cheat.
John

@Cube

Can we get a screenshot of where it is? There’s supposed to be two hidden areas in the snow places, but god knows I can’t find them.
Pat

Where are the arthur skeletons? Which boss screen?
someguy

A good way to farm diamonds (that is much easier than farming the ice queen) is the forest to the left of the 3rd screen. semi-rare Slimes and Harpies often drop them, and as a bonus orcs sometimes drop other gems too. With a lv. 200 sword I can often clear the whole screen in a single hit!
Lecarl

@Pat
The arthur skeletons are just blue skeletons. You should be able to find them on any screen that you can get skeletons on. They are just very rare.

Also, has anyone ran into an enemy called Colossus. It’s shaped like a golem but painted just like Iron Man. It seems to be very rare but I encountered it on the 12th area I believe. It’s by far the most powerful thing I’ve encountered so far unless it was just weak to some specific thing that I didn’t have enchanted. Unfortunately I didn’t get to kill and see how much gold it gives. I underestimated the time it would take to kill him. I clicked for 20 minutes while watching tv but then I had to leave because of the time. He was only 3/4 of the way dead.
Pat

Any tips for the boss? Like weapon moddery, and such?
L4rgo

i just met a colossus :D

took me 15 minutes to kill

5.2 million gold + some jewels
Ian

You guys don’t even WANT to know what’s after the last boss. My advice: stop while you can.
Neddo

I don’t think stopping will be a problem, considering that last boss is completely impossible for anyone to beat, ever!

1.Farm poseidon for gems
2.Mod weapon1 with water until you can kill efreet in 2-3 hits. I got 61 gems.
3.Farm efreet for $$ and fire gems…A LOT
4.Mod all fire gems into weapon2 until satisfied. I got mine to 350, so I could kill the snow queen in about 30 seconds. depends on your grinding tolerance.
5. Farm snow queen for diamonds…
6. I dunno from here, i’m taking a break
Lecarl

I killed a Gold Knight in the second to last area. It gave me $300,000,000 and the Hyper Armor. Hyper Armor gives you 9999 resistance in three of the elements but -9999 in the others. Unfortunately dark is one of the elements with -9999.

This game is art. A hired mercenary named “Indigo=Roger”? Who looks like he’s straight out of a Colecovision cartridge? My hat is off to Barbarageo.

Trying to beat the Witch boss now. I think I’m going to break my laptops’s mouse button. Or a hand tendon.
blackrabbit

Farming tip: Hit areas with adventurers–y’know, knights, mages, thieves, and those damned ninjas. Their gold drops blow, but every so often they drop stat boosting apples. Got a Str apple off a ranger and an Int off a mage.
someguy

Got my luck up to 150, semi-rares appear almost every time now, and normal enemies drop jewels too.
grindFish

Any ideas on making rare enemies less rare? I thought it would have been pumping up on luck, but strength at a certain level seemed to make certain areas more full of rares. Like i get heaps of pharoes now in the egypt level. But it might be coincidence, can never tell. Any one know what strength, luck and intelligence actually effect? This game needs a wiki….
Radix

Apparently there’s a Japanese wiki.
wooha

can anyone give me the link to the wiki?
I know japanese so I want to read it lol
grindFish

@ wooha
when your done reading mind making a translation? K thx bai! ;)
Radix

The guy after the False God gets a lot easier if you just dial down the girth of your weapon. His attack is based on yours. I killed him fairly quickly using chaser magic, a little fire resistance, and Nin Nin.
someguy

I couldn’t find anything about what strength, luck and intelligence affect in detail. However it does mention something about increasing luck to make rare monsters appear more often.

I’ve been increasing my luck and strength equally though.
someguy

I may have understood it completely wrong though, my Japanese is only average.
Ian

Radix> True, it works. Any idea if it is possible to beat the new bosses you get after that boss?
Ian

Wiki is here: http://hutonaga2.ehoh.net/
Radix

I didn’t really bother trying since the next guy was just the same thing over again with added HP and more frequent attacks.
