History VideoGame / BunnyMustDie

* GameBreaker: In the Playstation version, getting all 10 time powerups gives Bunny the 10th time power, "Aurum Call", which allows her to transform into Golden Bunny at the cost of depleting time power while it's active. Activating this makes even the final boss look like a cakewalk.

** The names of the the Achievements in the Steam version of ''Bunny Must Die!'' includes references to famous lines from other games and movies. Some include: "[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight A Miserable Pile of Pixels]]," "[[Film/BackToTheFuture 88 Bunnies Per Hour]]," "[[Disney/AliceInWonderland I'm Late, I'm Late!]]," "[[Film/TheHillsHaveEyes The Walls Have Eyes]]," among a few others.

'''''Bunny Must Die! Chelsea and the 7 Devils''''' is a Japanese {{Metroidvania}} indie game released in 2006 for Windows PC by Platine Dispositif, the creator of the ''VideoGame/GundemoniumSeries''. The game borrows many of the mechanics from ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' as well as adding many new ones. The most interesting new mechanic in the game is Bunny's ability to [[BulletTime slow]], [[TimeStandsStill freeze]], or reverse time. There are also many other abilities, items, and weapons {{power|Up}}-ups to play around and experiment with. As an added bonus, there's an unlockable second character that offers a different take on the game's storyline.

** The {{shinigami}} miniboss looks just like Eryth Millfall from the [[VideoGame/GundemoniumSeries Gundemonium]] games by the same creator, though she also bears resemblance to Elly of ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}''. She also throws [[SinisterScythe scythes]] around in a way that resembles Death from ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}''.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]: Chelsea. Some of the devils and {{Mooks}} also have odd hair colours.

She also throws [[SinisterScythe scythes]] around in a way that resembles Death from ''Castlevania''.

** [[spoiler:Golden Bunny]]'s ultimate attack might be a shout out to the [[StreetFighter Shun Goku Satsu]].

** Parrying is done exactly like in StreetFighterIII, and has the exact same effect.

* FragileSpeedster / MightyGlacier: Bunny can change outfits later in the game. In her normal outfit, she is a FragileSpeedster, while in her [[BreastExpansion busty outfit]], she is a MightyGlacier, with improved attack and defense but lower jumps and slower movement.

* GlassCannon: Chelsea hits harder than Bunny, but she lacks a lot of the mobility skills that Bunny has, or comes by them much later in the story than Bunny obtains hers. She also doesn't get any way to boost her defense until very late in her story.
** That actually depends on how well you know the game. Bunny can unleash a world of hurt on certain bosses just by wielding a specific weapon and being in the right position, which can make quick work of them.
** But of course, [[ImprobableWeaponUser Chelsea's ladder is]] [[LethalJokeWeapon still the strongest of them all.]] It even embodies this trope a bit more because a lot of the enemies will have lethal attacks that shoot directly under them, and to hit enemies with the ladder you need to be directly under them.

* GratuitousEnglish: The [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Dracula]] knockoff speaks in English, much to the Japanese-speaking Bunny's dismay. Specifically, he speaks entirely in ZeroWing quotes. In the English patch, he instead speaks in GratuitousGerman and says, among other things [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy "Ich bin ein Berliner"]].

* HartmanHips: Bunny, without the BreastExpansion-inducing suit.

* EssenceDrop: Enemies will drop Time Crystals when Bunny kills them, refilling her Time Meter.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Bunny in her busty outfit.

The introductory plot is as follows. After being near a cattomic power plant explosion, poor Bunny has been cursed with a pair of cat ears. Soon, a "fat prophet" appears and guides her to the Cave of the Devils to help get rid of her curse. Unfortunately for Bunny upon entering the cave, the "fat prophet" gets attacked by some random steer, gets stabbed [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill twenty four times]] by its horns and dies. Thankfully the steer just wanders off after killing him, but Bunny is now lost in the Cave of the Devils still needing to find a way to remove her curse.

An official English release of ''Bunny Must Die! Chelsea and the 7 Devils'' has been released by the doujin localization company, Rockin' Android, with optional remastered soundtrack (provided by Woofle, who arranged the soundtrack for the Steam Edition of ''Hitogata Happa'') and slightly updated graphics. The official English version of the game was released on September 2012 [[http://www.desura.com/games/bunny-must-die though]] {{DESURA}} but Rockin' Android also included the game in the IndieRoyale's Back to School Bundle of 2012 before its official release.

* DoubleJump: One of Chelsea's spells.
** [[UpToEleven More like 38957235802348-ple Jump.]] (in the Desura version at least)

* [[ExcitedShowTitle Excited Video Game Title!]]

** The {{shinigami}} miniboss looks just like Eryth Millfall from the [[VideoGame/GundemoniumSeries Gundemonium]] games by the same creator, though she also bears resemblance to Elly of ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}''. She also throws [[SinisterScythe scythes]] around in a way that much resembles Death from ''Castlevania''.

* SpiceUpTheSubtitles: Bunny is pretty foul-mouthed in the fan translation patch.

* OneHundredPercentCompletion
* ActionGirl: Bunny.

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: The loading screen for Rockin' Android's version of the game has a silhouette of Bunny carrying all the weapons in the game, and has a more "actiony" Bunny in the title.

* BlackMagicianGirl: Chelsea

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: There was a common misconception with the game of many people believing the game was actually {{freeware|Game}} on forums and other sites when pirated copies of the game leaked onto the Internet. The real story is that the game was never free and was being sold through Japanese online retailer that sold doujin games. It wasn't until 2012 that the game got an official release overseas thanks to Rockin' Android.

* EdgeGravity

** There's also one boss who's pretty much identical to Seven Force from ''VideoGame/GunstarHeroes''.

** [[spoiler:Also, to get to the final boss of Chelsea and The Seven Devils, you have to break into the VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon ahead of time, via a secret entrance that not only wasn't necessary at all in Bunny Must Die, but is ''not'' revealed when Chelsea uses the Eye Of Truth (which reveals pretty much every other hidden block or gate or item), and then use the Wrath of God power to break into the final chamber. There's really no indication that the secret entrance is one, either.]]

** How about the dolphin room? You have to switch the lights off to open the gate at the far side. While this is a reasonable thing to try, it isn't readily obvious that turning off the lights ''does'' anything, because the gate will shut the second you take any damage at all.

* GoombaStomp

* {{Metroidvania}}
* [[SirSwearsALot Miss Swears-a-Lot]]: Bunny in Non-Directional Translation's FanTranslation of the game, as she uses instances of "fuck" and "shit" in certain parts of the story. [[spoiler:She also dropped an [[AtomicFBomb Atomic S-Bomb]] after realising [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she unknowingly helped the free the game's]] BigBad.]]

* NiceHat: Chelsea's hat

* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent

* PeopleJars

* TalkingIsAFreeAction

* TimeTrial: After achieving OneHundredPercentCompletion as Bunny, your total game time becomes visible at the bottom of the screen. The Rockin' Android version includes achievements for beating the game in under two hours and achieving 100% completion in under one hour. This is made harder by the fact that saving adds seconds to your total time (20 in the Rockin' Android version and ''100'' in the original due to a programming oversight).

** [[spoiler:Don't forget Golden Bunny. If she hits Chelsea with ANYTHING, Chelsea is time stopped and Bunny pulls off her ultimate attack which inflicts just this.]]

* ExcusePlot

* GratuitousEnglish: The [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Dracula]] knockoff speaks in English, much to the Japanese-speaking Bunny's dismay. Specifically, he speaks entirely in ZeroWing quotes. In the English patch, he instead speaks in GratuitousGerman and says, among other things [[JohnFKennedy "Ich bin ein Berliner"]].

* TimeTrial: After achieving OneHundredPercentCompletion as Bunny, your total game time becomes visible at the bottom of the screen. The Rockin' Android version includes achievements for beating the game in under two hours and achieving 100% completion in under one hour. Considering the fact that using a save point adds 100 seconds to your time instead of 60 due to a design oversight, this is not hard.

* RoseHairedGirl: Chelsea.

*** You mean "Get Leady~♪", right?

* BizarreSexualDimorphism: [[spoiler:Based on the time controlling powers of her race,]] Bunny apparently an actual bunny, and not just a girl in a suit. The game also features male bunnies, which are distinctly more rabbit-like. So it seems to be that males of the bunny race are actual bunnies, while the females are mostly human-looking girls.
* BlockingStopsAllDamage: Bunny can parry any form of damage by pressing a direction just as that damage is about to hit her. This can apply to EVERY form of damage, from the shots of common Mooks, the SpikesOfDoom, and all the way to even electrified/flaming floors themselves! After a certain point in the game, she gets the bonus of being able to auto parry everything.

* BoobsOfSteel: Bunny's defense and offense rise when under the influence of her BreastExpansion inducing Dynamite Body upgrade.

* ContinuityNod, or perhaps MythologyGag: If the Achievements screen is to be believed, the scythe wielding girl that appears right before Baron Vladmu's boss area is named Selena Millfall. Is this a mere coincidence, or could she be connected in some way to [[VideoGame/GundemoniumSeries Eryth Millfall]]?

* FragileSpeedster / MightyGlacier: Bunny can change outfits later in the game. In her normal outfit, she is a FragileSpeedster, while in her [[BreastExpansion busty outfit]], she is a MightyGlacier, with improved attack and defense but lower jumps and moves slower than normal.

** [[spoiler:Also, to get to the final boss Chelsea and The Seven Devils, you have to break into the VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon ahead of time, via a secret entrance that not only wasn't necessary at all in Bunny Must Die, but is ''not'' revealed when Chelsea uses the Eye Of Truth (which reveals pretty much every other hidden block or gate or item), and then use the Wrath of God power to break into the final chamber. There's really no indication that the secret entrance is one, either.]]

** Over half of the collectibles in this game are hidden in fake floors, fake walls, hidden gates, and even fake pits. Though Chelsea's Eye of Truth allows her to find them easier, Bunny doesn't have the same luxury until later... obtained by looking for said collectibles in the first place. Even then, due to the pace of this game it's very easy to forget to use the Eye of Truth. It doesn't help that one of the last bosses are almost impossible to win without almost completing Chelsea's Mana meter and getting a defense powerup.
** Figuring out where the light switches are in the Dark King's Lair might also count. You will most probably stumble upon them by accident... and some of them are hidden in the above mentioned fake walls. And when you do find them, the first instinctive action is to turn them on... only to realize that some of the parts in that section only work if certain switches are turned OFF.

* KingMook: One of the levels involves fighting with a series of boss versions of the flying pumpkin enemies, with a [[MoeAnthropomorphism Moe Antropomorphic version]].

** Self Shooter: Rapid-fire [[KnifeNut throwing knives]]. Bunny's default weapon.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Baron Vladmu, a vampire who speaks GratuitousEnglish (or [[GratuitousGerman German]] depending on the translation), has gun-pompadour, and kills the player by flashing them.

** The Seventh Devil, Septentrion Pleiades, is a nod to [[VideoGame/GunstarHeroes Seven Force]].

* [[ThereWasADoor There Was A Gate]]: Averted in this game. You'll notice later on that destroying gates is much more convenient than opening them.
