4A... ahem... "{{quirky|work}}" game by Sorakomi Mine. You play as a black stickfigure named "Ito" who gets his foot stuck one day and couldn't take it out. In the sequel, Ito's foot finally manages to break free from the ground. Ito now has to make the trek back home and meets several friends along the way (all of whom [[EverythingIsTryingToKillYou makes an attempt to kill Ito]]). In both games, Ito has to fight off against [[TitleDrop 285 enemies]] per level, though there are special {{Boss Only Level}}s in the second game.

10----
11!! This Game (both Come On 285 Enemies and its sequel) provides examples of:
12* ActionizedSequel: The original game completely lacks the intense {{Boss Battle}}s, the different backgrounds, and the much, ''much'' freer movement options. Which is pretty much justified; Ito had gotten his foot stuck, preventing him from walking around, and the Bosses haven't even bothered to check on Ito.
13* ArcNumber: 285. 285 enemies, and a 285 kg {{cane|fu}}. [[spoiler:Master Gouda also reveals he has 285 years left to live, yet is 75.]]
14* BadassBoast: Ito says one of these after every level in the first game.
15--> '''Ito''': You'll get hurt standing in front of me. Remember... I'm not a bus stop.
16* BatterUp: Ito is seen doing this in the credits scene, against Ueno throwing a gigantic paper ball.
17* BerserkButton:
18** For Mr. Sato, it's destroying his prized bronze statue.
19** For the Ota family, calling them copycats.
20* BigBad: [[spoiler:Master Gouda, who even calls himself as such.]]
21* BigNo: Ito does this [[spoiler:just right before both of Yoshida's boss fights, particularly when the latter proposes to give Ito [[RubberMan stretchy powers]].]]
22* BowledOver: Ito's "Bowling Smile" technique.
23* BossOnlyLevel: Usually the last levels of each world, though sometimes RecurringBoss Okada pulls up in a level before the boss.
24* BossRush: [[spoiler:World 10 in the second game pits you against all of the bosses in each level]].
25* CaneFu: [[spoiler: Master Gouda]]'s first attack is tossing his 285 kilogram cane at you. Getting hit by it is an instant kill. [[spoiler:This also applies to Master Gouda, who also jumps directly after throwing his cane at you, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard allowing you to punch the cane back into his face for an easy win]].]]
26* CastFullOfCrazy: Check out {{Cloudcuckooland}} down below, but okay, let's see:
27** Ito apparently doesn't know what being fired means; He claims to have slept on a part time job, and was told he could go home forever, he doesn't know why there's such a bad smell in his shoe locker, even though the source of the smell actually come from his shoes, and he claims that things like TV or pillows matter more than school rules. And on top of all that, he's slowly getting worse and worse amnesia by the second game.
28** Okada is the OnlySaneMan, genuinely wondering where Ito went after so long. He's also concerned that Ito's viewing him as less and less of a human as time goes on.
29** Ueno is a ''really'' avid baseball fan, and [[spoiler:calls his brothers his "shadow clones"]].
30** Kondo is a stickler for school rules, but the one thing that he puts above ''those'' is an English Test.
31** Principal Sato has a bronze statue of himself, and any destruction towards it is hammering down on a BerserkButton, as Ito tends to find out the hard way.
32** The Ota Family has some kind of bizarre obsession with fighting Ito; Said family (and the members you explicitly fight) include: Ota, an uncle of your classmate, Ota, another uncle of your Classmate, [[RuleOfThree Ota]], the grandfather of your classmate, and [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Isono]], a housewife living next to the Ota Family.
33** Edmond stands out by having an even ''quirkier'' personality than the rest; He has a constant VerbalTic, he drinks coke a lot, and he tends to slap things with a Harite rush.
34** Tanaka is a quite literal ''alien'' living in Japan, having {{flying saucer}}s and [[spoiler:[[StarfishAlien jellyfish aliens]]]] for business partners, and his only friend is Edmond.
35** [[spoiler:Yoshida]] may be a RidiculouslyAverageGuy in the eyes of Ito, but as it turns out, he's become a RubberMan upon forming ''Petit Ganon'', and apparently can gift people powers by complimenting them.
36** [[spoiler:Ito's Master Gouda is a ScatterbrainedSenior that borders on being a PsychopathicManchild, freaking out over the fact that he has ''285 years to live'', and regularly taking advantage of online organizations like ''Petit Ganon''.]]
37* {{Cloudcuckooland}}: In all honesty, if people came at you in droves of 285, then you ''know'' that this place and its people have a lot of screws loose. [[spoiler:That part about the 285 people coming for Ito had an even crazier reason for even occurring in the first place: They're apparently a subtle message that Ito's mentor, Master Gouda, has 285 years left to live, [[LampshadeHanging something that Ito considered way too subtle]].]] Another thing to note that being able to solve 2 + 3 within 12 seconds is apparently a sign of high intelligence, and that being able to solve 2 + 3 in 3 seconds is apparently superhuman.
38* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Edmond stands out in comparison to the other (already quirky) characters, what with his VerbalTic and his utterly bizarre personality (He may or may not have [[GenerationXerox an ancestor with a similar personality]] in Sorakomi's other game ''Sakura Blade'').
39* CreditsMontage: [[spoiler: With a little bit of CreditsGag; The disclaimer notes: "[[{{Understatement}} It may be a little bit different from the actual game because of the characters' delusions and desires]]." The very first thing we see after that is ''Okada throwing a RocketPunch at Ito, blowing up a pagoda behind him''. Every slide after that shows increasingly ludicrous scenarios]]:
40** [[spoiler: An Ueno brother throwing multiple pieces of crumbled up tissue, with Ito [[BatterUp whipping a bat out and taking a stance]]]]
41** [[spoiler: Kondo freaking out at [[CruelElephant Bonta]] crashing the bathroom]]
42** [[spoiler: Sato looking proud in front of his statue (while Ito, who has managed to find himself on Statue Sato's head, [[OhCrap realizes he's about to fall and take the head with him]])]]
43** [[spoiler: Ito, along with the Ota Family, all enraged and with twigs poking out of them]]
44** [[spoiler: Ito throwing coke bottles as Edmond rapidly throws out Harite slaps]]
45** [[spoiler: Ito shooting a laser gun at Tanaka and his business partners]]
46** [[spoiler: Yoshida menacing Ito by stretching both his body and face, much to some woman's horror (it can be inferred that Ito's expression is more or less the same)]]
47** [[spoiler: Ito riding the waves while holding some necklaces as Master Gouda is on some clifftop, hoarding pots]]
48** [[spoiler: Ito and several Haniwa doing a LastSupperSteal]]
49** [[spoiler: And finally Ito choking and dying after taking a bite of spoiled deep fried bread]]
50* CruelElephant: Bonta is known solely for shooting out apples and breaking Kondo's bathroom every once in a while.
51* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Okada seems to have crossed this in the final level; He's begging for Ito to refer to him as at least a human person]].
52* FlunkyBoss: [[spoiler:Yoshida]], who has two {{Elite Mook}}s by his side in the first fight.
53* ForgetfulJones: Ito. He initially boasts about being able to memorize stuff perfectly, but then forgets about it moments later.
54* HumanAliens: Tanaka. His "Business Partners" take on the form of {{flying saucer}}s [[spoiler: and jellyfish in the credits]].
55* IdiotCrows: [[spoiler:One flies into Master Gouda's gym after he reveals that he has 285 years to live.]]
56* KamehameHadoken: Ito has exactly 3 variants. Tanaka and his business partner "Suzuki" can do one too.
57* {{Narcissist}}: Mr. Sato. Aside from the aforementioned bronze statue, he can summon bronze statues of himself as an attack.
58* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:Master Gouda, or at least he claims he is. The true power is unknown, really.]]
59* MarathonBoss: [[spoiler:Okada at the end. He has a whopping ''30 hit points'' (not counting times when you hit him while he charges up his OneHitKill RocketPunch, which deals about 3 damage to him), and unlike the rest of the other encounters, ''it's actually for real''.]]
60* OldMaster: [[spoiler:Master Gouda]], one of the hardest bosses to fight in the game.
61* OneManArmy: Ito. Again, he can take on 285 enemies per level.
62* OnlyFriend: Edmond, to Tanaka.
63* OnlySaneMan:
64** Okada, who's increasingly becoming more desperate as Ito continues to forget more and more about who the former is, [[spoiler:even calling him an ant trying to steal deep fried bread.]]
65** Ito actually ''does'' show some shades of this, but he's not as straight and level-headed as Okada.
66* PaperThinDisguise: [[SarcasmMode Sure, Suzuki, you're definitely not the local goofball Edmond.]]
67* PowerCopy: Ito can do this upon completing a list of conditions during a boss fight. [[spoiler:Yoshida]] inverts this: He gives people powers by complimenting them.
68* PuttingThePalInPrincipal: Ito describes Principal Sato as such, referring to him as "Mr. Sato who lives in three buildings away from my house."
69* RapidFireFisticuffs:
70** Ito was practically forced to use this when up against 285 enemies.
71** The main move of Edmond, the local goofball.
72** [[spoiler:Yoshida]]'s stretchy form is a downplayed variant, though it's fairly realistic for a RubberMan. Ito's rubber form is also like this.
73** Okada occasionally partakes in this, [[spoiler:though it reaches to a point where he can unleash multiple {{rocket punch}}es at a time.]]
74* RecurringBoss: Okada, who fights you a total of 5 times, counting the BossRush at the 10th world. The other bosses only fight you twice at most.
75* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: What [[spoiler:Yoshida]] apparently is to Ito, and it's even supported in Sorakomi Mine's other game ''Which is Yoshida?'' [[spoiler:Yoshida is ''far'' from normal, even by the game's standards.]]
76* RivalFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Also Okada.]]
77* RocketPunch: Okada's special ability. It initially starts off weak, but at the [[spoiler: ending, Okada's fist has become so large and strong that it's a guaranteed OneHitKill if Ito doesn't finish Okada off.]]
78* RubberMan: [[spoiler:Yoshida]], initially to his limbs, [[spoiler:though it reaches to the point where he can ''stretch his own head'']]. Of course, Ito, being the {{power cop|y}}ier that he is, can also do this (though, judging from the dialogue in both of [[spoiler:Yoshida]]'s fights, this may have been against his will).
79* ShoutOut: An In-Universe variant: Ito describes [[spoiler:Yoshida]]'s group "Petit Ganon" as one to a famous anime: Take This, Fantasy![[note]]It's actually a real thing, [[https://sorakomi.com/non/kurae/fantasy.html?lang=en and its real name is "Take It! Fantasy"]]. Also, "Petit Ganon" is the ultimate magic spell.[[/note]]
80* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Isono is a housewife living next to the Ota family, and is the only explicitly female character Ito ever fights, though he muses if there are ''other'' female Ota members. It most certainly does not help that Isono looks exactly like the Ota family.
81* SoundtrackDissonance: Commonly happens during basic levels. You could be fending off against waves upon waves of enemies, and the OST that would play sounds like a happy-go-lucky song. [[spoiler:Averted in Chapter 9, where you come to Master Gouda's place; It plays SadBattleMusic, up until the big twist.]]
82* StormOfBlades: [[spoiler: Master Gouda]]'s special attack.
83* SuperMode: Three, in fact:
84** Ito could use a mushroom to grow big, and a flower to shoot fireballs. [[SarcasmMode Definitely not a]] ShoutOut to the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros''
85** Tanaka has one where it inverts the GoldenSuperMode (he goes from golden to orange-red).
86** Ito using the [[spoiler:[[RubberMan Yoshida power]]]] briefly goes into this, as he can throw out long range attacks at a rapid rate.
87* TheThemeparkVersion: Ito [[LampshadeHanging describes]] Edmond's domain as this.
88--> '''Ito''': It is more like Japon that a foreign person imagined.
89* TimeSkip: The 6 year gap between the first game and its sequel is treated like one, considering that the mobile version had both games in the same app.
90* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Ito's favorite is deep fried bread. [[spoiler:[[{{Squick}} It's gone moldy after 6 years]].]]
91* TurnsRed: Mr. Sato does this the moment you [[BerserkButton break his statue]].
92* UnknownRival: Ito and Okada. Ito doesn't even know who Okada is (except for the first fight, where he's apparently scared of a 6 year grudge that gave Ito some deep fried bread), calling him "Green Guy" after the first fight and generally forgetting his existence. [[spoiler:It comes to the point where Ito eventually calls Okada an ant trying to take his deep fried bread, with the latter begging to be recognized even as a human.]]
93* VerbalTic: Edmond has a tendency to finish his sentences with the phrase "gowasu" (which hints at him being from [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseDialects the Kyushu region, particularly in Kagoshima]], which has "gowasu" as a copula). He can also utilize said phrase as individual syllables (As in "GO", "WA", and "SU" are all individual projectiles) as weaponry. WordOfGod does confirm that Edmond is actually from Kagoshima.
94* WeaponizedBall: The Bowling Smile is the most traditional example; The absolutely humongous "1" ball is a much less active variant.
95* WolfpackBoss: [[spoiler:The rematches with the Ueno brothers and the Ota Family]].
96* WordsCanBreakMyBones:
97** Weaponized by Kondo, Ito's English teacher. FORWARD explodes into letters contained in balls in a forward direction, BACK is similar to FORWARD but it's in a backward direction, BOMB is similar to the others but it's either up or down, WALL creates a wall upon exploding, and RETURN is the only attack that doesn't explode, only return.
98** Edmond has a syllable variant of this: "GO", "WA", and "SU" are all individual syllables that he summons to attack you.
