A new set of clever/funny dialogs by Pierrec! Hurrah!
The graphics are great too ; and imho, these wash drawings are a better choice than pixel-art to express the message & the atmosphere of this carelessness "quest" (they match well with the harmonica SFX too).
I really enjoyed this. Your games always put me in such a good mood. I think the guy in the barrel plus the harmonica music that did it for me.
Well, this feels "heavy". Nice work! Music is a good touch.
Awesome idea )) I played it again and again all day long (not really, but I could :))
Excellent game. I'm not sure if it's possible to win (I gave up after the third attempt) but I loved trying new dialogue paths every time.
There is a way to "win".
But we made it as hard as possible to get because we're mean. :)
Fantastic game! Love the art and the dialog... and it's very fitting for the theme!
This is great! Funny dialogue and fitting graphics. Really has a style on its own.
I LOVE the sound of the barrel roll haha. I liked this game pretty much, it totally grabs the Pierrec essence that I like so much :) A great approach to the theme too!
Perfect score from me - got to 5-6 endings and smiled + laughed the whole way through! Very very nice game, and also nice replay value, since you can quickly click through dialogs and don't have to wait for anything.
Truly deserving of Oujevipo :)
Nice graphics and narativ, but more fun gameplay would be better for me (I hate point and click :)
Graphics are so awesome ! Are they real painting scanned ?
Dialog and that barell roll sound are so funny. Maybe missed a little "Ouin, ouin, je suis un bébé!" sound. Haha
Ps : There is a little bug when you keep the arrow key pressed, the barell just freeze.
Aw, and here I was thinking me giving up my quest would lead me to the true ending :)
I'm going to keep coming back to this one until I win! Awesome game.
Man! Trying to win the game sure can get frustrating. Guess I'm just not a very good cynic.
Damn, it seems I've found 10 different "endings", but no one implying my victory. I wonder what I've missed. But it means I enjoyed the game - even if I'm usually not fond of this kind of experience. The harmonica helped a lot :), but the whole lot is well done. Good job !
IT WORKS FINALLY. I just had to click direct3D. I loled, great dialogues. Congrats.
Félicitations pour ce jeu sur AGS...Nous ne sommes pas beaucoup de français mais le peu que nous sommes ne se sont pas contenté de prendre que le côté 'simple et pixel art ' du terme minimalism ;)
Really fun game, you guys know how to boost a game replayability :) I wish I could have study philosophy with games like this one.
Truly great game. Funny, entertaining and even philosophical. 5/5 ;)
Fuck I just spend like 40 minutes trying to come back with nothing and even that wasn't good enough :'( Very good game anyway, it really gives the experience of being a philosopher's pupil.
Dialogue that's actually funny and interesting to read is hard to pull off, and this game does a good job with it. The humor is great, and I like how you keep getting second chances with the test (as opposed to just quitting and restarting), that was a nice touch.
Trading a rock for an apple interested me. If you continue to develop this, when I would tap the right arrow key, the barrel did not roll far and I got confused.
Very nice game! I like its humor, the graphics and the narrative. Congrats.
Well, that was interesting.
I chose to keep the rock.
Guess I made the wrong choice.

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.
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.
A nice game, maybe like a texttual-philosophical-Grow-like ?
Anyway, I like it. :)
