December 14th-17th 2012 :: Theme: You are the Villain
In order to play the part of the villain for the Ludum Dare Musical, you must sing the correct lines, or else something might just be dropped on your head. The correct line will both rhyme with the one before it and be suitably villainous.
Made using Unity, Inkscape, GIMP, Blender, Aria Maestosa and Audacity.

Charming illustrations and melodies. Funny and villainous lyrics in each menu. Bravo!
Dude, this is truly original! I think you'll get a good rating :)
Super! Awesome graphics -- possibly too good! Are you a villain?
This is pretty awesome. I dont think i can compare it to anything i've played earlier!
What a charming little game!
Almost reminiscent of Monkey Island and the Insult Swordfighting.
Haha, great idea man! It's a bit slow(you could have sped up the 'moving forward' a bit imo) but those lyrics where really clever and entertaining!
Reminds me a lot of the Insult Sword Fighting in Monkey Island. Could be an interesting game for kids.
This was a really good game, well done! Fantastic score, good humour, good art, and perfectly innovative.
I thought at the start I wouldn't like it, but I must admit it's a great game that left me laughing throughout. Good job.
This was a very different approach to what I'm used too I liked it and had a lot of fun and some giggles.
This is my favourite so far by a long way. Very charming and had me audibly laughing ;)
Very interesting approach, also having the sound "sing" the text is really nice, reminds me of some old console JRPGs. :)
Thanks for the encouraging comments!
Having no known musical talent I'm not sure what possessed me to make this. About halfway through I was thinking, "Am I really going to do this?" as I didn't think it would be much of a game. But all in all I'm reasonably pleased with how it turned out. :)
Clap clap clap!
Somehow it reminded me a bit of Monkey Island's battles.
The lyrics were awesome.
It was a very cute game, very original, I liked the idea a lot :-)
It was a bit on the easy side. Maybe instead of being an "all-or-nothing" you could have lines that gave you more or less penalty (or even removed some penalty!)
Also, you should look into having some LD'ers read the lines for you in a post-compo version, that would be awesome!
Thanks for the game!
Really funny, although I would have liked it if the responses were ranked as to how evil you are, and then you get a villain rating at the end to make it more of a "game"
Ah, monkey island. Well executed and polished. Well done to you.
loved it, very fresh, good humour, clever. Simple artwork but it works.
A most enjoyable throwback. Great writing (really kept the whole thing afloat) and use of music. It'd have been nice to seem a couple more props and some costume (accessory) changes for the leads, but given the time - great stuff.
Very original game, and full of content! (at first I thought it would be MUCH shorter) This is a perfect compo game : simple, innovative, and complete! You got my voice sir.
(Aww, I was hoping the happy melody ending would be answered by an evil melody line.)
I love it! I didn't actually want to try any games right now, but this one looked interested, so I opened it to take a closer look, and here I am having the game finished!
The mechanic is nice. Is it inspired by the sword-fighting in Monkey Island? While it was easy at first, it actually grew harder and I made two mistakes.
My favourite part is the music! There is no timer and I think there should be one, but the urge to keep the music flowing works as a good initiative to choose swiftly. Not many games manage to make me decide fast: I tip my hat to you, sir or madam!
Certainly one of the most original games I have played here. Great job you did there!
I'm glad this was posted up on the blog, as it's one of the neatest entries I've seen. I played a second time just to see intentionally what would happen when the boom reaches the villain's head. :)
I had so much fun with this game. I really laughed out loud a couple of times.
I really really liked it. Truly, I think you've found something great here, and there's a lot of potential, if you want to further polish it.
Waiting for the characters to move back and forth was tedious. The writing was pretty good, and I liked the overall idea, but it wasn't a terribly compelling experience. Loved the graphics, though.
It's the evil version of Celes' opera performance in FF6! Original and nicely carried out. Well done.
Really novel concept very well done done and polished. Impressive !!
Brilliant! I kinda don't like you out of jealousy, but I love it, cheers!

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.
Ives never seen a game like this. i like it
