Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.

Did anyone expect dark ninja elephant that can hide in bright colored room?
===========================================================================
John and Lisa are living in "The Room" but can they address Elephant living in the room with them before they get crushed?
This game is based on absolutely the worst film ever made so dont expect it to be any better than absolutely the worst game ever (or at least the worst made by me).
I have used this opportunity to learn coding in es6 with use of webpack around Phaser Js Engine so if anyone is interested how to use them together check source code.
I have also for the firs time used Spine 2d for character animation they look horrible but they work I like to refer to those character as "bad art".
And last think i have tested my new instruments i have got couple a days ago with my new midi controller. Soundtrack is probably only redeeming quality of this game.

This game has some references did you spot them all (hint: boring game play is one of them)?

Doesn't finish loading, Firefox on win7x64. A green bar appears after a couple seconds, and grows to about 1/3 the width of the black box it's in, then stops forever.
Well that was different! Very interesting take on the theme. Thanks for submitting.
Doesn't work for me, Chrome on MacOS. Getting error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined(…)
@MestR @KJB of IBwWG @sanojian i think i did fix it loading google font made some race race condition
Works fine for me, however I did it feel it was tearing me apart, Lisa!
Interesting theme-use! Music is pretty good too. Keep it up.
This was a little bit surreal, I'm not exactly sure what was going on.
Works for me - Firefox on a Mac. I love the beautifully hideous graphics and simple gameplay!
@xclementx true but i couldnt work more on it if i did i think i would get cancer or something
I love the concept with the elephant! However, the game is boring.
@cushycode I wanted to Imitate the source as much as i could if you did know "The Room" you would know what i mean but I do not recommend it
took a couple tries to get it to load, interesting game but not really my style.
I got 302- just kept jumping on them as they got up :)
funny little game
It loaded fine for me- but I had to be very patient- it was a black screen for a while, then eventually I got the loading bar- then it came up.
@Haddy22 nice result my is around 550 they got up faster and faster each time you jump on them. You made me realized that the game doesnt load if it isnt focused :| i will be sending fix for that thanks.
Works now, thanks for fixing. I found it pretty funny even though I don't know the original reference. The music really fit well. Could have used some sfx though. Not very challenging / engaging beyond that, but I liked the elephant cutout anim.
The music does fit with the ninja elephant :)
The roommate sprites just begged to be crushed - punchable face kinda thing going on
Before the LD37 jam began, we had some concepts for games, and one was exactly "Elephant in the room". So, when my friend JorgeGameDev asked me to select which game to play next, I chose at random the one that said Elephant, and then my mind went blank for a second. Then we laughed due to the coincidence. Checking this game out was destiny!
And it's exactly the opposite of what we envisioned, in a good way! Heck, this was so surreal I fell in love with it since the title screen. Everything looks rough, yes, but even then, it somehow fits perfectly.
The game is simple, but holding down the button to increase the jumping speed felt like something that was different from the norm. So, while this wasn't exactly the greatest thing ever, it showed something that could later on be refined or even adjusted to other projects.
Great work! I hope you had a fun time making it, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future!
@Moski thanks i hoped to make something so bad that i use all bad karma on it so my next game wont suffer from it :P especially that im making something bigger that i want to succeed
Well it's kind of ... weird, but it was fun to crush the roomies :D
hmhm joahhhh... I crushed them ... a jumping elephant in a robber costume :) fine... I was amused ^^
Very clever use of theme, the idea of ninja elephant is really funny and music just fits great. It's really great that you push yourself with LD and learn new things and to be honest results are pretty good, i mean you got working game with a decent gameplay. I mean gameplay is kinda repetitive but still fun to play.
I did not beat the game, it's not true! It's bullshit! I did not beat the game! I did *not*. Oh hi, Mark.
That was interesting. I set a new high score of 435. So yeah. Good job. I love how you made it intentionally bad, which makes it great. Awesome job!
Nice game! I mean ok not much story but there is something satisfying crushing your neighbors.
Funny idea, my best score was 313. Music fits the game very well ! Just missing some sound effects :)
The elephant design is great XD
Funny idea, and the music is top notch.
But I thinkg the game is missing feedback a lot, on player's actions and also on your roomates' detection ability (range, when they spot you...)
.
@Oddly Shaped Pixels sorry that i didnt make obvious that they are blind and they can spot you only if they walk into you :P
Very strange game. The music is pretty great, and fits very well. I didn't really understand the losing condition.
