This game cracked me up quite a few times :D. I'm usually not a fan of point-and-click, but this game got me hooked. SPOILER For fun I chose 'wait and die', but it results in the game ending and needing to do the first part over, not a good choice :P
Thanks guys; I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@FrozenCow: I'm afraid those are the consequences of the deep, immersive storyline path you chose!
I though i heard yelling... No hahahahahahhah. hahaha real funny ;p
I liked it, and the fact that there were quite a few alternative story lines helped. I loved the dialog, it appealed to my sense of humour.
One thing I can say is for some of the sound effects I got drawn out of the story because they ended abruptly, whereas a smoother transition out for them stopping would prevent that.
All the best.
Yay! AGS buddies!
This game is really great, I laughed many times (each time the kid said something actually ^^)
I love the walking/talking views and I love that cursor (yeah...it's only a detail, but it counts!)
***I'm posting this on all non-browser games I bring up in an attempt to encourage folks to make browser games next time around. Do not take it personally.***
When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.
Please consider making a browser game next time.
Seriously the best point and click game I have ever played. Your dialogue was brilliant, great work.
Very good entry, congrats! Got me smiling like in the old Sierra / Lucas Arts games, very nostalgic. Loved the text, and the fancy shirt guy shaking his arms is super funny!
This one reminds me of the old point and click games, which is great! The humorous dialog is really good.
Nice to see a good bit of humor in the game, and with the extras (readme/features list). Definitely enjoyed the art style as well.
"We shouldn't leave them the size of a molecule, it's impolite !" Haha.
Wow! Laughed all the way through. Can't fault anything. :D ...or maybe savegames would be nice, actually.
Wonderful throwback to the good adventure games of yore. Best laughs I've had for a long time :D
Absolutely loved it! I haven't enjoyed a point and click adventure game this much since the 90's! Thanks guys.
Good use of humour!
I can understand the lack of a save feature, but that can discourage replaying the game to see more endings, even if it is short enough to be feasible. Might depend on the player, though.
Haha, brilliant game. Most humorous game I've played today by far. I kindof feel that I might have picked the wrong ending tho. I'm tempted to do it all over again to try another one. Gotta lover the humor tho. Great work!
Nice one - haven't played an adventure game in years :) Humor was spot on.
I am not an adventure game fan, but it held me for a decent amount of time. The game is full of good humor. Well done!
Haha a very well made game.
Was that a jab at the end of Mass effect in there too? XD
Quite a lengthy game, given it was a 48 hour compo, impressive. Would have been cool if the graphics were a bit better, thats my only crit. Ill have to play though again and try to make a force field :)
This hit a few nostalgic chords in my heart :) Awesome job guys and in so little time!
Ha, I loved it.
This has so many shades of South Park. Not only the dialogue, but also the two-frame speak-animation, which feels like the canadian characters.
Props on the dialogue, music and mood. This also had the first intro I didn't want to skip immediately.
Great! I love this style of game and there should be more in LD. A nice complete story and lovely graphics. Sometimes the snarky dialogue didn't come across that well, maybe because it was just non-stop. Some of it was pretty funny, though.
This is hilarious! One of my favourite bits is the cut-scene of the missile bouncing off the force field. *boink!* Great work!
Thanks for all the comments so far! It's great to see that so many people enjoyed the game.
This is probably the most funny game in LD23. I loved the graphics, the animations were very smooth and funny. I feel like playing it again to see if there's a good ending (I played the game twice and got nuked in 2 different ways...)
Supremely excellent! I loved the story and humour. I don't have anything to add which hasn't already been said, so I'll leave it at that. Congratulations!
Wow, the humor is top notch, it's an incredibly lengthy and polished game, and the execution is brilliant. Great job! Glad I had the chance to rate this one before time ran out :D
You must sign in to comment.
I am definitely using "dammit woman, why must you destroy my dreams?" the next chance I get.
Cool game, you can tell you put a lot of time and care into it, and it shows. Had me laughing more than once. PUUUUNY HUUUUUMAN. I played this all the way through instead of doing laundry.
