Haha that was surprisingly funny. Nice simple gameplay too, I didn't get very far (I kept dying). Still had fun though. Nice job!
Quite humorous, a bit surreal. Good job!
The ending was the best part!
nice one! Good feeling, smooth controls, and a very funny back story! Good use of the theme as well. But I failed at the flying head since I killed him outside the wall then I couldn't reach him.
Hahaha. Hilarious. Funniest entry so far.
I especially liked the voice over.
Controls and graphics could of course use more work. Some elements like the text bubbles did not go well with the old-school graphics style.
Z-Rendering on those workers worked not always and some text was therefore hidden by another worker.
Haha, humorous, I enjoyed it although you lost marks for portraying Murdoch as a Australian. We want nothing to do with him, he is American now.
Ok, this is crazy - but "You only get one season of Firefly" surely is the best take on the theme so far! :D
Awesome take on the theme, I wish I could better see the comment the guys make
Oh my God!)) Why I didn't watch FireFly? Because I don't want to kill everybody on Fox I guess =)
Nice game! I think some HP bar would be helpfull. Good job!
This is a very unique idea for a game. I like the concept and the sense of humor. That artwork looks really nice too.
Ha I've not watched Firefly... but I want to now. I feel it must be worth it lol. Fun game though
Haha, I like the Murdoch graphic! I actually just walked past everyone in level 1 and it said "Workers Killer: 100"... is that right? I loved the ending.
That was really funny!
I ran into a bug at the end. The floating head just dissipated and I couldn't do anything.
I've never seen Firefly before (don't even know if its real!), but I loved this game!:)
Wow. I don't really care for Joss Whedon, so I didn't know what to expect. But I appreciated the games sense of humor.
The empty shelves labelled 'Emmies' was probably my favourite bit. Can I have a game about murdering the Fox News staff too? That doesn't sounds crazy does it?
Funny take on the theme - I wonder if this game will inspire them to bring Firefly back?
OK, I'm laughing hard. Might be the funniest LD entry I've ever played. The gameplay isn't anything innovative, but not bad (though I would have liked some sort of visible hitpoints; I got killed quite a few times), but the comedy is excellent. The graphics are simple, but funny: the only thing I'd improve is the walking animation.
SPOILERS
My favourite part was the bit where the game calls our browncoated hero out for going on a killing spree over a TV show. The executives' dialogue was an absolute riot, too.
Great job!
Forgot to mention: best take on the theme so far.
Awww man, all these positive comments are amazing, love you all :)
Funny game. Nice use of theme and good job! I included this game in my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/6i2NO94dPrk
This was pretty awesome, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I liked how the guys were sort of like, zombie-like and the blood spraying everywhere was a nice touch.

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.
Haha, hilarious! :D Also you just totally went Spec Ops: The Line on me.
