Plan A and whatever the second last Plan was were my favourite! Loved the artwork. :D
Wow, this was remarkably charming! At points, not very fun per se, but I was smiling anyway. Totally blew my expectations out of the water. Love the art style, everything is smooth. Some points were needlessly frustrating - ESPECIALLY the deadly pendulum.

This is a great companion piece to Terra Tam
i always look for your game first when Ludum Dare is done
The best thing about this game is the sheer amount of variety. It was short, but I enjoyed every second of it. It's unfortunate that you couldn't any audio in there, however.
Loved this. :)
Pity there's no audio, it would really improve the experience.
I really really enjoyed this game. I thought it was really funny.
Really great game! Loved the story, art and the progression of it! Small, simple and fun!
Great idea! Nice ending :)
Though I'd like it to be more dinamic, it was very funny.
The part with the knife was fun! Interesting little game.
i really like this! excellent graphics, really good and well executed ideas. just a damn good game
this was clever and very funny. it's also the closest thing i've seen in game form to playing as a villain in a warner brothers cartoon. nice job, L!
Aww, a happy ending!
I literally typed "This is a good companion to Terra Tam." before looking at the other comments and noticing Porp said roughly the same thing. I think I could happily play another 6-8 Ludum Dare entries along these lines. I did like the feints toward Wario Ware-ism in this one.
It's not really that often you find a game you can honestly say has a good sense of *comedy*, and understands things like comic timing...

This is very funny, in a quite poetic way. It reminds me Little Nemo books!
Haha funny job! I like this game. Very good ideas and a good gamejam entry. Next time please add sound effects or music, thi swould give a bit more immersion.
Really really neat graphics wise, but there isn't really much gameplay involved ;/
Really great game. Had fun and laughed a little bit. The mechanics and the timing feel very polished.
Looks like you're going to win the humor category again this year! This game made me smile. Great job!
Hilarious game! I love the little details you added to interactions and things that happen while you're playing, such as the spiderwebs and the "falling-into-the-mouth" business. Took me by surprise and was really enjoyable. Great work! :)
A wondrous experience. Slapstick timing done right, all the way to the end.
I liked it a lot, really genius. My only complaints are: no music and it is more like an interactive movie than a game. Still, awesome!
Awesome game. Some really interesting and funny ideas! I absolutely loved the ending. Make a post-compo and add sound! :)

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
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.
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.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
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 about 20 games to improve your visibility.
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.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
This is very interesting, good job :)
