little tomt here… ~small blood warning~
this was a chapter book that was read to me in the 2018/2019 school year. i'm from canada btw.

plot:
- boy and his parents are visiting relatives (aunt and uncle?) who live off the grid
- long drive to area with lots of forested areas
- i think they may have a dog? or maybe the relatives do?
- the boy is reluctant to visit, i think because he just wants to go on his phone or something, doesn't like the idea of off grid living
- get to house, meet up.
- in the evening the boy goes for a walk
- something chases him??? i don't know
- he ends up getting lost in the ‘backyard’ of the house and is calling for his parents
- rolls down a hill and has leaves stuck to him
- i think he ends up hurting his hand, arm or leg and there is blood/ it's very painful
- he ends up sleeping a half rotten tree trunk covered in leaves to keep warm
- next morning he is hungry but still lost

we never ended up finishing the book at school, so we only got this far. i would say maybe 1/4 though?
any help would be great! i am thinking of contacting the teacher that read this to me as i have thought about it for years now, and i want to see what happens in the story.
thanks

what else do you remember about it?

there exists an iphone game i really loved years ago, and i can't seem to figure out what it was called. i also don't see it anywhere in my download history, so i'm out of luck with that… >snip<

sounds like something i'd play on my mom's phone as a little kid
for context my mom had a samsung galaxy S9+ that she has since handed down to me

you don't really need context for playing games on your mom's phone m8

hey i've been crawling through this thread for a while now and scratch is media, so here we go; anyone know what happened to this project i discovered in ‘19 or ’20?

Too Long; Didn't Read wrote:

too long? synopsis: a word guessing game i can't seem to find anywhere. very simple objective (find the word), very difficult to do (coded under maximum encoding). found the word in a comment (not telling, you have to read for that). had a dead-ended scavenger hunt. has chipm0nk-level fame. where is it?

it was an insanely difficult word searching project. the notes and credits (or maybe instructions) said you can ravage the project all you want, if it helps to find the correct word.
what constituted as a “word” was:

• it must have been in english
  it needed to have anywhere from three to 25 letters total
  i don't think special characters counted
  

if the word didn't meet the criteria, or it was the wrong word, it would say (on i think a small banner at the top) “incorrect…” or something to tell you that you are wrong.
i remember it blowing up on scratch, everyone trying everything to find the word.
if you somehow guessed correctly, it would take you on a scavenger hunt through projects made by the guy, with a prize or something at the end. also, i remember not being able to progress after finding the word in the comments (getting into that later) because one of the projects disabled the progression.
now, in terms of what was onscreen, i remember that it had a big list in the middle to the top (maybe making room for that “incorrect…” banner), the rules in the bottom-right corner, and a dialogue box, the same one used in –

 ask [what is this project?] and wait 

– that block. the dialogue box was used to input your incorrect answer, because it took FOREVER for someone to find the word.
INSIDE the project, there were several things scattered around, a checker with like 20 lists for complexity, and a thumbnail with binary in the back that coded for something like: “SORRY, THERE ARE NO HINTS FOR YOU HERE. GOOD GUESS THO ”. that's all i can remember.

what was the word???
it was verbophobia, defined as the fear of words. not hippopotamonstrosesquippedaliophobia, the fear of long words; this is the fear of words.

the comment that i found it on???
something like this.

i'm gonna make a {…forgot} and fill it up with so many words that i'm gonna get verbophobia.

it was the type of project that would get featured in an instant, like chipm0nk- or Will_Wam-level fame.
also sounds like it was made in Scratch 2.0, discovered by a year-old scratcher, and skyrocketed it to stardom.

so, with the clues from my investment memory,
where is this thing???

bump, yet again

Does anyone remember that one platformer game made by a popular Scratcher? It was mostly greyish and talked about how they were leaving, and then it revealed it was joking at the end with some color. It was pretty simple, I think it was only flat terrain. It was also just solid colors. The player was a square.

I remember that it was very serious, right up until it wasn't.

ok but what kind of square was it? was it a Generic Cyclops? (square with rounded corners and only one eye)

1. I never knew it was called that XD
2. It was a gray square with non-rounded (sharp) corners. No gradient, no nothing, I think.

4. Music playing at random intervals (including Alone by Marshmello)

I am not sure if I should post this here (as it is a Roblox game), but it would be a big help if somebody could find it.

You're still looking for the “Toontastic” thing, right? Have you tried seeing if you can find the URL via your browser history (if you still have access to the device you viewed it on, and haven't cleared your history)?

I think I'm going crazy but I keep thinking this cover of Hallelujah exists where it was a bit more upbeat. The voice was a woman I'm pretty sure.

thinking a specific Scratch platformer series from 2017 (?) ish

there was 8 or so games in the series- each one was named with *name of color* and then *another word for world/land* … each game had a different synonym for world/land and so on …. like “yellow world” “red city” “purple area” “blue realm” .. none of these were the names but they were all called similar things like this
each game was based on a color, and had platforms and blank player of the color, but a darker shade of it in the background… it was a very clean design and each level had obvious effort put into it. there was no moving platforms, but just how each shade fit together was very pleasing making it really enjoyable to play

fairly simple levels, but each game in the series introduced a new control- such a one that killed enemies, jumping higher, etc. there keys for these special controls were Z,X,C … and continued along the last row of the keyboard
most levels had text on them, but the text was written letter by letter, and while it spelled out you couldn't move the character, which was pretty irritating

there was also a studio by the creator of the series made which had all of them in it

any links lmk!!! even if you think it might not be it, i may be misremembering some details (tho i dont think so lol)
thanks!!

oh one last thing! even though i the series was made years ago i played it a month or so ago so its very likely it's still up

Wait… Is it this? It sounds a lot like what you described but it's been ages since I played it and I never played through the whole series, so I could be mistaken…
