HIDEO KOJIMa, The Game

HIDEO KOJIMa, The Game is a Hideo Game released in early January of 2024 on itch.io, featuring Hideo Kojima as the protagonist. It is not necessarily Bux media, however its creation spawned from a joke on the Bux Wiki, so it counts.
== Gameplay ==
The game's plot is as follows: Hideo Kojima is in his office in Red Volcano Zone, when his employee (presumably) enters who informs him that video games of the Strand genre (see here and here for examples) are invading the office. Kojima responds by saying he shall "Koji-kill these motherfuckers". The game then shows a "tutoral" screen, explaining the game's mechanics. The genre is an endless gallery shooter, or a mixture of Subway Surfers with Sin & Punishment for the Nintendo 64. The player moves a reticle with the mouse and can shoot with LMB. Kojima must shoot the Death Stranding enemies, but shooting a movie will immediately result in a game over. Missing 4 shots also ends the game. Both games and movies will fall from the top of the screen, and occasionally a large swarm of games will erupt from the left side.
To increase your Hideo Koji-Score, Kojima must shoot games. Shooting a game will grant 10 points, but shooting Sam Bridges' stupid head gives 100. Shooting a game increments your combo and gives you more time on your combo timer. This combo timer lasts for one second at first (the time increases with higher multipliers) and you lose your combo if it fully depletes. Missing even j#st one shot also resets your combo. Every interval of 10 reached on the combo increases your score multiplier. Killing Senator Armstrong, who takes 10 shots to kill, gives you 3 score multipliers, as if you had killed 30 games.
Occasionally, a Konami will fly from a top corner of the screen diagonally downwards at an extremely high speed, only staying on screen for about a second. Konamis are extremely risky to shoot, but you can react to their unique sound cue and the fact they will always cross the middle of the screen to make shooting them easier. Two other uncommon targets are the Chubb and balls. Chubb cannot be shot, flies upwards using balloons, and he steals 10% of your score if he reaches the top of the screen - shooting all 3 balloons quickly will prevent this from happening. Shooting a balloon does not give combo or regenerate the combo timer. Balls spawn in groups and fly across the screen horizontally in a wave - shooting all of them gives a score bonus. Finally, the rarest enemy is Psycho Mantis?. He will appear much later than other enemies can, and he will slowly drain your score while he is alive. Psycho Mantis? must be shot multiple times before he dies.
== Trivia ==
* Originally, the player had three lives instead of four. This was changed in a future update. JenjenParibou explained this to be because "three feels a bit harsh."
