Lot of great humour and an amazing amount of content for a jam game :)
Good content, nice story and a fine use of the theme. I enjoyed it :)
I absolutely love this game :) will be coming back to try and finish it tonight for sure!
Made me laugh, Marlo made a cute cat! I loved his backchat too! Good stuff :)
Nicely done. A lot of story to this game. The puzzles was a bit too hard for me but I rarely play these types of games,
Interesting game man, i'm not sure what I should be doing other than observing all of the amazing head :P crazy that you got so much done in just 48 hours. Super productive clearly xD
Really complete and well-executed! It took me a moment to get the 'logic' of the game down (why can't I get into the shower as the cat, or just dump the salt directly on the slug?) but once I got into your mindset it played really smoothly.
The music and graphics worked great together, but the jokes were sometimes hit and miss. The absurdity of the premise is hilarious; Marlo being really bitter about his wife (for seemingly no reason?) is less so.
Great game, very humoristic and as soon as shape shift I lol
Brilliant take on the theme, well-rounded and funny game. Great job!! :D
Quite schyzophrenic but really nice game :) Love the pixel art ! simple and effective
I really enjoyed that. Very nicely polished and cute idea for an adventure game. I really enjoyed the writing. Couple of problems of the "frigging adventure games" variety:
Why can I only fill the spray bottle from the bathroom sink?
Why do I need to drink salt water to get rid of the slug instead of just dumping salt on myself?
Why doesn't smoking remove the ice guy?
Why can't I dump salt on the ice guy?
Do you know how hard it is to punch yourself in the face (but at least we had a good clue for that one)?
I still really enjoyed it.
@nintendoeats
Thanks for the nice review! Lemme try to answer your questions though most of the answers could easily be cause it's a fringing adventure game! Haha.
1) it was meant to be fillable from both taps, we forgot to change the hotspot for the kitchen.
2) because that would have been too easy :p
3) the cigarettes alone wouldn't melt him, maybe if he had a lighter too...
4) good point, I didn't think of that haha.
5) do you know how hard it is being a shark everyday? I'd punch myself in the face!
Thanks so much for playing and understanding the stupid logic that go hand and hand with these games.
A nice and fun game, with a very well executed idea, considering the short time available for developing. Well done!
To decide to make a point and click for LD and actually finishing it, is rather impressive. Nice work. I managed to get rid of one of personalities but the cat refused be afraid of water/I couldn't shower it off and ice wouldn't be hair-dried. But that's the sort of issues tend to be part of the point and click genre as a whole and not particular to your game.
Though the effect of how the text was written was cool it was really quite impossible to read while it was writing since the positions kept getting updated.
Other than that a really nice entry.
Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
Such a great game! For me the best use of the theme so far. Well done!
And I finally did it :)

Love the music and graphics, reminds me of the classic point 'n click games! Great job!
Wow!! What a great game. I really like the text appearing effect. The music makes the mood! Keep up the great work!
Great writing, so funny! GOD DAMN YOU LINDA!!
Password is ROD. What do I win?
I really liked it. nice graphics and audio. Good story and very nice integration of the theme.
I was blocked at some points but fortunately the hints in the comments helped to advance forward.
solid entry, congratulations!
@randomhuman there is no password! or maybe you discovered just a half of it...
@rodobodolfo He said there was no last letter, but before that he said ROD. I think? Was a while ago I played it. You trying to make me play it through again? ;) I already gave you all of the stars, I have no more stars to give!
Great story, everything was really fun and well done, thanks!
I know it's month after the event, but maybe you'll be happy to hear that you've won my top 10 LD35 summary list :)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
I like it :D
