MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
In this side-scrolling fantasy game, fight through 5 branching levels and stop the Queen of Monsters from conquering the Human Kingdom! A dynamic difficulty system will send you to harder or easier levels depending on whether you succeed or are defeated!
That is... unless there's an unexplained software problem that may make victory completely impossible.
CONTROLS:
Explained in the game.
INSPIRATION:
Peripheral inspirations for this game include include Terra Tam, WarioWare, Inc., The Shadowlands Prophesy, Homestuck Act 6 Act 6, and, visually, OFF, Lamezone and La La Land.
This game feels satisfying to have finished developing - the only design hiccup is that the theme kind of slipped from my grasp - it's present on the title screen and level 1, but not really muchwhere else. Oh well.

This is the best game. I don't know if I can say much more.
At first I was super frustrated, but then it dawned on me. I should really read the descriptions before playing XD
I can't move. Can't click on anything (not even the CONTROLS button. Something's wrong on my Mac.
It appears the web version doesn't work for mac. Can't click anything :/
Really clever "game". Almost too clever; even by the second to last level I was still wondering in the back of my head if I was supposed to do something. Definitely the funniest LD game I've played so far.
That was amazing. I enjoyed it like if I were watching a movie. The art was top-notch and the levels of polish you gave it are incredible; every transition, every animation is very detailed.
I now want this to be an actual game. :(
I can't get it running, either. It says that I have no input source, or something to that effect.
Hahaha~The best game I played ever~control error is amazing idea~
Fun idea, but not that much to do with the theme. Liked the graphics quite a lot!
hilarious the whole way through... even these comments are hilarious...
Your art is amazing. Reminds me of old Mac Classic games. Your take on game input is revolutionary.
Ugh, I really really want to play this, but I'm getting an error about no suitable input device being found. I tried the web and the exe. Do you know what the problem is? :(
5 stars, obviously. Making the beat of the music vary according to player input was very clever.
Awesome! But I can't rate it in many categories: this is not a game.
Sorry :(
Anyway I think I can give 5/5 for humor! :)
I couldn't play because it doesn't seem to recognize keyboard, but it looks great, especially the big titty demons :D
Great job!
Love it! Interesting concept of (non) interaction and a cool satire of games not being punishing enough through not being punishing at all.

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.
It's a bit too easy, despite the name. The controls are great, very intuitive and responsive. I really enjoyed the art, the game has a unique look. It reminds me of sketches you'd see in someone's notebook. Cool stuff, I enjoyed it.
