  Honestly I don't understand how Shrimpo wouldn't have been similar to a main to begin with. Since he's the main antagonist of the actual show, you think he'd be popular for that reason. So far, there are no other "villians" mentioned.

  There's a Dandy's World fangame that features a much more challenging character than Shirimpo. The fangame is called Dolly's Factory, and the character is Fellicia the Sheep. She has 1 unit in all stats, but her ability increases her stats by one when she collects more debris (ichor/research), reaching a maximum of ten units (5 stars in all stats). This makes her a rewarding character if you have patience.

  Soulvester doesn't even have much in the way of reward when his playstyle is literally just Vee's but worse. If you want a challenge character done right, look no further than Fleecia from Dolly's Factory. Her whole mechanic revolves around starting with abysmal stats but if she can avoid being hit, she can get max stats in everything and absolutely dominate floors.

  I main Soulvester (I think he is very cute) but I only ever play him solo. Half the challenge of public runs with Soulvester is just dealing with your own team! No one lets me prime machines properly and they do all the machines leaving me trying to get halfway across the map when panic mode hits. He’s a blast to play with friends or solo, but for public’s I’ve just given up

  I think some people have a different definition of a challenge character like how you described it vs some people thinking the challenge character needs to purposefully be bad to be challenging.<br><br>With that being said, I do agree that in cooperative games like dandy’s world, challenge characters should still be able to aid their team while keeping the “challenge” aspect to themselves and not affecting the team to the point where they are dead weight and drag the team down with them.<br><br>A good example of this could be the guest class (If I remember correctly) from break in that is a challenge character where the player gets a valuable weapon but in exchange, incoming damage is increased and mini-games are harder. While you are handicapping yourself, you’re still a good teammate who can kill off enemies effectively.<br><br>Anyway, good video, it really explains the flaws of Shrimpo and him as a “challenge” character very well. I might take some time to make a concept for him.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmiYvgflcGg&amp;t=85">1:25</a> this character is a mock to Peta btw who made an insulting ripoff game out of this game<br><br>as of my knowledge, to unlock this character you need to input the code &quot;petaphile&quot; which directly shows that he&apos;s a character to mock Peta

  I personally love playing as Shrimpo, I love him as a character that much that I like to play as him. Navigating his speed and skillcheck in a solo run brings me a level of satisfaction. However, I do agree that he isn&apos;t perfect by any means. I often can&apos;t bring myself to beat my Shrimpo solo record simply because I don&apos;t have the time - if his extraction speed was increased, I wouldn&apos;t have so much of a problem. Although, if he was turned into a normal toon stat-wise, I think an ability where he throws items would be fun. We already know he&apos;s pretty capable of throwing things (look at brick throwing simulator), so an ability to throw something to stun twisteds, with the stun lasting longer the rarer the item, would be a fun thing to try.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmiYvgflcGg&amp;t=12">0:12</a> toons that focus purely on survival just being thrown in a room and forgotten about is so real though. Im surprised more people dont use them though, as this “team-based” game requires very little teamwork

  My main idea for a shrimpo rework is to give him all the stats of a starter toon (or maybe just 2 stars in every stat just in case that makes things too easy) and make his ability increase the chances for rares and mains to spawn. <br><br>The idea here is that his bully personality has annoyed everyone so much that the more vicious twisteds actively want him GONE.<br><br>This would also give Shrimpo a reason to be used, as he can be incredibly useful for people wanting to grind research on rares and mains, and there&apos;s now a reason for the team to protect him at all costs
