THE TIME WIZARD

Jump off the bridge is a retro platformer game with puzzle elements made by Cody Penn. The main goal of the game is, as the name implies, to jump off the bridge as no other way of dying is good enough for the character and you cannot proceed to the next level until you manage to do so.


As of the publishing date of this article, the game is actively getting updates.


Forsen played it twice, first on May 11th 2019 and then again on February 4th 2021 after it received an update adding Hardmode.

Easymode

During forsen's first attempt the only difficulty option was \"Easymode.\" The game itself is general tomfoolery coming from unexpected interactions with the world and characters who, more often than not, would attempt to kill the player in a way different than desired.


Sometimes the character had to avoid bulls, sometimes having to do Super Meat Boy-style platforming, trying not to get shot by one of the three warning shots from a cop, other times fighting a dragon or climbing a huge tree and so on.


Then, in the 17th level of the game he met him:

The ridiculousness of encountering a \"time wizard\", the falling text that kills you, him sliding with confetti firing off behind him, rapidly aging when hit by a clock and hearing any kind of soundtrack since the start of the game? That was already ridiculous enough for forsen.


His attacks involved launching clocks which turn the player old and sickles and clocks that kill you but the cherry on top were The Time Wizard's constant moans every single, I repeat, every single time forsen would die and repeat The Time Wizard's dance routine.


It started an avalanche for chat to spam a variety of Gachi emotes such as , and . It was the only things the chat was filled with throughout forsen's struggles to defeat The Time Wizard.


But alas, after struggling for roughly 12 minutes, The Time Wizard fell with the final words,

\"The Time Wizard never dies! I will return!\"

And leaving forsen with the curse of old age for the following level, which got cured by a mystery character:

YouTube timestamp


From here, the game was getting more and more ridiculous as time passed on, until he got stuck for over an hour at a mirror level. He did, thankfully, manage to finally persevere and beat the Easymode:

YouTube timestamp


Forsen stated that it was a good game and he liked it.

Final death count: 563


In the following days, the bajs would be reached out to by the game dev himself and providing them with more than what they bargained for.


First, a post appeared on the r/forsen subreddit. It was from the developer of the game who wanted to thank forsen for playing his game, and the bajs, who he spent time chatting with in Forsencord during forsen's playthrough.

\"I just wanted to thank Forsen for playing my game Jump Off The Bridge yesterday, and I wanted to thank the community for such a great time. I hung out in the Forsen Discord's #Games chat and was chatting with a few fellows during the gameplay, and it was a blast. If anyone wants to search those Chat logs my name on discord is @CodyPenn.\"
\"Thanks for being an awesome community!\"

- Cody Penn, in an r/forsen subreddit post


He actually provided the lore of the Time Wizard, at the request of one of the comments:

Alright, so not to bore you with the in-depth life story stuff, but here we go.
If you go into the Sxy Pub, and sit in the chairs to the right, for 5 minutes, I come out on stage and recite a poem and play some music I wrote. The first song is a short song about Time, and it being a sort've enemy to me. I lost my seasonal job this year, and spent the winter grinding out a majority of the content for JOTB. In essence I was hardpressed for time. I spent hundreds of hours programming, spriting, and designing, with the constant lack of time and a lack of a job. Within that pressure, came the Time Wizard.
It began with me wanting to personify time and defeat it, which is where the Father Time personification traits came in: sickles, wheat, clocks, etc. But I didn't want the boss to be depressing, so I mixed it with Masaki Sumitani's character: Razor Ramon Hard Gay. Who is essentially a buff dude that walks around Japan yelling \"HARD GAY\" and thrusting the air repeatedly.

- Cody Penn, in response to a comment asking for clarification


He also shared some sprites and audio files, which can be found in his Google Drive.


Second, a video was uploaded to YouTube by CPHMANIA (also known as DJFGT or DJFortniteGamerTwitch). The video was a Gachi song including the Time Wizard's audio files. It's an absolute banger and is one of the most popular videos on CPHMANIA's YouTube.


It is also a trigger treat for the bajs as every time it plays on stream, the bajs spam The Time Wizard copypastas as can be seen in many of forsen's Minecraft speedruns thanks to its inclusion in the Minecraft music playlist.

Hardmode

Roughly 1.5 years later, on February 4, 2021, the Hardmode update released alongside another post to r/forsen by the developer, who thanked the community for the support and expressed appreciation for opportunity to make content forsen enjoys. That being said, his Patrons from Patreon helped him shape the update through voting. Giving bajs any kind of artistic freedom? What could go wrong?


Forsen played it on the day of release. Chat was already filled with the well-known by now spam from the speedrunning days:

OH AH UH THE TIME WIZARD OH AH UH THE TIME WIZARD

After playing around with some settings as per tradition, he entered the difficulty selection screen and was greeted with a familiar face:


The hardmode started in front of what seemed like a night club. The bridge he was supposed to jump off of was blocked off by a vomiting guy and his buddy, so his only option was to check out the club. Shortly after entering, he ignores the \"WANT[sic] DEAD\" poster, and thus the hunt has begun:

YouTube timestamp

And while he was enjoying being buried beneath almost a dozen of half naked ripped men, he remembered that he's live and probably should continue playing.

While avoiding the staff, more familiar faces could be spotted in the background, namely

Gotta give it to the Time Wizard though, his art taste is quite profound:

YouTube timestamp


Let's hope this close encounter with a lady and a horse hasn't left him traumatized for the rest of his life.


After some more tomfoolery, he finally entered the throne room only for him to find out that indeed, Time Wizard's claim about his return was true. He was sitting on his throne, a glass in his hand, ready to throw his first attack at the unsuspecting forsen. It consisted of the, now legendary, monologue:

YouTube timestamp


After this introduction, forsen was challenged to a high stakes Dance Dance Revolution-style battle. He handled this part fairly well, only spending a few minutes here, though he got very lucky with the last throw:

YouTube timestamp


However, up until now, the Time Wizard has been a normal wizard at most, not really utilizing his Time abilities. This was about to change with the next encounter. This part took whopping 95 minutes to complete. 60 of which he needed to even understand what he was supposed to do in the first place.


The fight revolved around the clock in the background as well as three differently shaped hourglasses. By breaking a specific hourglass, he was able to snapshot the thing it portrayed: the player, a sickle or the Time Wizard. Every time the hour hand of the clock reached 12, all snapshots became reality, allowing a sickle to hit the Time Wizard.


However, once he adapted to Time Wizard's magical shenanigans, this section too eventually ended with the God Gamer's victory:

YouTube timestamp


But it wasn't over just yet. One more fight. Falling down the tower, dodging clockworks and Time Wizard's charges and smashing his face while he's dizzy. It was the shortest section, as forsen is known for his love for brute force solutions.


In the end, they both bust through the tower's walls and end up at a bridge where the Time Wizard gives a short speech that was kinda ruined by the loud music:

YouTube timestamp

\"[Laughs] You've reminded me of a great friend. Your persistence is admirable. Child, you've come so far. I've long yearned for this hope. Of which, only you are responsible. But... YOU'RE NOT DONE YET!\" - Time Wizard

Final death count: 213


As a followup, the developer edited the previously mentioned post, of course sharing sprites, sounds as well as his thoughts after watching forsen play the game:

\"Edit 2: Forsen's stream was hilarious today. Thank you everyone for encouraging Forsen to play the Time Wizard. Also I'm sorry for some of those scuffed bugs, I'm going to have most of them patched by tomorrow, as well as some subtitles for the End Cutscene, and some better clarity on the Time Wizard fight part 2, to indicate that he can only take damage during the kick. My two favorite parts during the stream was when chat started figuring out the Time Mechanics, and started spamming ACOUSTICDEV, I was rolling. As well as when Forsen figured out he could get and extra life by saving his position in time: \"You just have to die to be safe! Dead, REVIVE.\" Thank you everyone again for the hype and the support! <3\"

- Cody Penn, in an r/forsen subreddit post


Forsen said it was pretty good, pretty hard, but pretty good. Someone in chat suggested a speedrun, but he declined.


\"I can't wait to play the next one\" but he never did.


Of course, a couple of weeks later, CPHMANIA (also known as DJFGT or DJFortniteGamerTwitch) came back with the follow-up song, because as we all know...

\"The Time Wizard never dies!\"

Naturally, it was as much of an instant classic as the first one.
