Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Futility is a Time-Waster you will lose, no doubt about it
In a way, Futility is a soothing time-waster. It's soothing in the same way that Fight Club is soothing; there is absolutely no way that you're going to win.
It's a short and cute game with a distinctly philosophical message (which I disagree with, but it still makes the point). It starts off as a normal platformer; you run and jump around, trying to skip from one platform to the next. You die along the way, but you have multiple lives, so you just reincarnate and keep on moving briskly through the level.
On and on you go, ... until you finally reach The Boss. It doesn't actually have a name in the game, but if it had one, that would be it. The Boss is a huge ball that basically bounces all over you, killing you repeatedly, until you run out of lives.
Then, it's game over. I could find no way to defeat the boss or even escape it; once you reach the end, that's it. Am I missing something here, or is this the message?

Just shoot the blob with X and try level 2... I failed at level 2 boss...

You did realise that you could press X to shoot?

You are missing it. When he jumps, run under him and then shoot him. Just time it so he doesn't land on you. 2nd level there's a snake boss that was way worse.

did you forget to use your shield or somethin? it just requires a couple of tries. lvl 2 snake isn't that hard either if you use the shield

I am on some hard levels, you press z to jump, x to shoot, shift to shield.
I think I am on like 15, but I think it is on loop....

Agreed. :( Erez is the worst (half of your posts you have to take back because they are like this... meh).
