I was too stupid to figure out to punch the shoelace panel. Good work overall.
Technical:
Works well, interesting use of the mouse as a controller, crisp and responsive movements.
Game itself:
LMAO that's hilarous! What a silly idea! I love it!
I loved it. It's indeed a very simple game, but I see nothing wrong with that. Needless to say, reminds me of street fighter II. The graphic style, animation and sound are very coherent!
I found it amusing, but the game mechanics seem to consist of 'press the button as fast as you can'.
Short, but good game. Also good mouse clicking training ;D
I liked this - totally reminded me of an actual NES game graphically/music/sound wise which is a plus in my book. wish it had been a bit longer.
I just loved that haha! Beat the hell out of a shoe, and why not? You've got sole dude...
Awesomes!!!!!!!! Kill the boot!!!!! Very much fun and definately tiny!
This game remember me the bonus stages of final fight. Awesome!!
Fantastic! Really wanted the shoemaker to come out at the end and say "OH. MY SHOE."
The graphics are spot on emulation of 8bit times. I find the controls workable and the action fun. A very simple, pleasent game.
ridiculously funny game
enjoyed it a lot - very japanese game-style
Great polished game for 48 hours! Excellent scope, for sure. Perfect for this sort of short game dev challenge.
Hahahahaha! This game made me laugh so hard xD
Gorgeous graphics too! ^^
Quite a fun little game, I can see how it can become addictive trying to get the highest score. I don't think it quite fits in with theme though.
I liked the art and sound style. Pretty simple as far as gameplay goes but a good amount of polish. Nice work.
Controls feel great, cool game! Would've been nice to see the story back somewhere in the title or endscreen.
Damn, that was good. Really simple, but effective little thing. :) And the concept, haha. Those elves are ruthless, man. Also, I miss-read the title as "The Elves and the Shoemaker", which I'm glad I un-miss-read before playing, because it's a good title, hehe.
The fanfare at the end! Perfect. A gleeful expression of the futility of the bootstrap myth.
Too bad I can't give you 6 stars in humor, this is absolutely the most nonsense and humorous game.
How did you come up with this? I love the backstory and how simple the controls are.
The character art reminded me of River City Ransom, which actually made the goal very clear right from the start.
Well done!
Great gameplay, theme approaching, art... tiny game with solid fun. Congrats! :D
Nice little game :)
Fun to play, movement with the mouse is a bad idea though, especially since the elf moves slow and my screen does have a right end.
Ha! This was really fun, albeit incredibly short. The control scheme was a little unintuitive, I expected to use space or X and the arrow keys for a side scroller, it kind of reminded me of that Mario AI competition. But the artwork and the music were spot on NES era. Love the Street Fighter beat up the car gameplay. Nice work!
Cute!! The graphics are great. The game is very short, as you know, but a fun and complete little bonus round. :)
