December 14th-17th 2012 :: Theme: You are the Villain
Welcome to The Fall of Mr. Wily.
This was made from scratch in 72 hours (save a GUI library).
There are 2 goats to be found... one is quite subtle, see if you can find them both!
Our team was:
Ryan Nohr - Programming
Jon Rasmussen - Art
Nick Amlag - Art
Akash Thakkar - Sound/Music
It loads a bit slow on web, so there are PC and Mac versions as well!.
NOTE: Today I realized it was possible to put the game into fullscreen mode, which shouldn't be possible. I blame Unity, because I can. At any rate, the game was designed around a 16:9 aspect ratio, so I'd reccommend against putting it into fullscreen for the best experience.

I almost quit a couple times along the way, then it transformed into the movie Falling Down. Good idea, needs more solid execution. Would maybe have worked better to stay in one viewpoint and transition, vs switching to several (was jarring).
this is really great. love how it's constantly changing and the turn near the end.
I was a little put off by the graphics at first, then I realized it is my one true love.
Fantastic game. Very interesting and destroying everything once you turned evil was just wonderful
Man so good. Takes a little to get it started but awesome. Love the Office Space vibe.
Nice interpretation of the theme, like the repeated visits to each minigame and the changing pace. Good job!
Great game! Slamming through the traffic at the end was extremely fun and hilarious.
Great pacing, graphics, everything. The attention to detail, such as the variety in the cubicles, is nice.
Sitting at work when everyone is on vacation. This made me sad. Very well executed.
What a great entry! It was really neat to see the sort of disjointed rise and fall of the action, and also the subtle little indicators everywhere. I really liked "LATE FOR NOTHING!"
Late was great, I loved it, all the little graphical touches were sublime; stork splatter, pixel fires, evil hat. Loved it.
I really enjoyed every part of this game. The evil parts are the most fun (and the final evil stage is the most therapeutic) but I did enjoy delivering the babies because I liked their cute little baby sounds.
Very cool game, it reminded me of Sos's McPixel. I just wish there was a bit more to do in the mini games.
This game was such a wonderful surprise. I loved everything about it. Every scene that cut to being stuck in traffic, and then having it end the way it did, had me in stitches. Well done!
BRILLIANT. BRILLIANT. BRILLIANT. Will show my brother this first chance I get. I was just describing making a game that involves lots of smaller games in a sort of story arc, but I couldn't remember my example from a previous Ludum. This is perfect. The navigate traffic part blew my mind, as soon as I crosses over I was like "I just know the other lane's going to start mo... whoahhh it's real life.".
The only criticisms I have is that it's not longer and that it's too easy to go on a full out rampage :) Maybe some more build up would be nice? ie events that suggest a rampage is about to happen but doesn't spell it out for you. Really funny game. Highest rating I've ever given a Ludum game I think.
Also thanks for the kind comments!
Great game!!
one of the best in the competiton
Good job guys!
Thank you, I was beginning to lose hope around here. Goal for today: gain coolness through mayhem
Awesome product, laughed so much! Still, I'm reluctant to call this a game (and rate it high) since the player interaction is minimal and replay value zero.
Great concept and story! :D While it is more of an interactive story than a "game" it is a great entry, nonetheless! Awesome job!
Fun game. I like the evolution of the mini-games. Very clever.
Most excellent! The quick cuts between boring tasks totally stringed me along until the switch in the game. Though pressing space to take a beating was totally hilarious.
The only part that didn't really fit for me was the deliver babies part.
Wario like mini game, and nice transition from good to evil. Excellent work!
Hell yeah ! Simple and so cool ! A damn fkcin good entry for LD !
And another Warioware! Yay!
The first part wes great, the second one was bloody awesome!
This game is epic ! I laughed a lot when i became evil ! This was so cool, awesome work!
Hahah, hilarious, i likes when i'm suppoed to pass trought the traphic....nice work
Really really great experience overall, although ut feels more like a sorta deep experience rather than a game.
Amazing. Like the shift. Wasn't sure how the storks fit in. Space as a transition and a mechanic made me skip parts like the fight, because I was hitting space to make the dialog go away, but it progressed the game. Traffic was infuriating. It was just like real life - the other lane goes faster.
Hah. I loved this. Make me go through all that frustration of getting beat down, then I get to dish it back out. I especially enjoyed causing mayhem on the freeway. Nice work!
I was so confused at what was going on until the twist came. Then it was all so so funny! Great job!
Good concept! Yeah, I agree that it's very office-space feeling.
Nice and very Wario-Ware-like. The first part was frustrating and the second part was fun.
Very, very interesting ! I adore the political way you take !! I bookmarked your game to show it around ;)
Wow. Amazing work. Love how it turns around. Music is done beautifully. Props for organizing this :D
Loved it! This is my 61th review, but my first all-5-stars. Absolutely fantastic. You nailed the theme. Great job.
This looked great, sounded great and being evil on the road was a great experience. . .
so a great game!
Well maybe more of a story than a game, but great nonetheless
Nod to Megaman, big nod to Office Space, nod to Falling Down, you've got the right inspiration alright. Quick cuts of the games was smart to not dwell too long on any activity and then the release of destroying it all. Good visual story with some game elements.
Awesome. Wasn't sure on the theme at first, but it's oh so good. Love the Dorian like conversion.
The solution to life: becoming a sociopath.
The game is pretty cool. Reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOUdakrP52E
Graphics / levels were amazing given the time. I thought the stork mini-game seemed out of place, but otherwise it was enjoyable for a play-through.
AWESOME! Loved the progression and the COOOOLNESS METER expanding as you become more evil in the mirror. Really hilarious. Lots of variations in gameplay, and an amazing interpretation of the theme. GREAT WORK ALL AROUND!

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.
Congratulations!This game is hilarious. The gradual shift in good to evil really makes the player attached. The humor is sublime. Best game in the jam I've played thus far!
