Excelent entry... I laughed my ass off with the characters, excelent idea! :)

pythong

I was able to hear their voices in my head

Heh, funny story and characters. Except the fire it looked great too. I thought it was a bit too difficult first, (only one missed civilan?) but since the game is not long, it didn't matter that much.

That was cute. I like what you did with the characters, although the game itself is kind of simple.

yoyo

Bit difficult but good game (if short). Toys & pets were awesome.

So adorable! You really had me in stitches when I first saw the plushies talking to each other. You get full score in Humor for sure.

Gameplay was also nicely done; it felt ever so slightly choppy here, but that may have been my machine. I'd say the game was probably a bit too short, and the level design too simplistic; some more varied rescuing/shooting challenges would have made it even better, I think.

Graphically also good; one glitch that stood out to me was how you disappear "below" the buildings when you fly into them. Apart from that, little to criticize.

The space is on fire! Awesome game. I played this on my gamepad and had too much fun.

Wow, great entry with some really funny moments.

1. You REALLY should finish this up with SNES-like music and sounds, that would add so much

2. Now I'm really curious as to what the "unintentionally offensive wording" was!!

It's a trap! Awesome.

Really nice job with the puppets and the starfox references.

As others say, all you were really missing was some sound and more levels.

I'm impressed.

Neat. Plays nice. I had some weird jittering effects, didn't really interfere with playing though.

dekritteh

hehe that was funny though simple, I agree with mrfun that some SNES style audio would have made a big difference

This is a rock solid base to build on. Gameplay feels fine, difficulty is just right (though I used the glitch so I didn't have to collect the rescue capsules ^^), only two things missing are sound and MORE LEVELS :)

Love the plush toys and the scripted actions.. that's a really nice bit a of polish for 2 days. The graphics are really cool to watch all the buildings go by and the fire at the bottom. Great humor in this game. I didn't do very well I'm afraid. I tried playing 3 times and got further each time but never saw the capsules everyone is talking about. It kept restarting me at very beginning and I can only do that so many times.. ;) Nice work though. I too would have loved to hear some sounds and music on this one but you had a ton of great content in there. Those puppets were awesome!

Awesome plushy dialogue. I was disappointed there wasn't a boss fight, especially since Evilosaur said his minions were disposable.

thedaian

Awesome =) It was funny and fun, I loved the dialog!

My first suggestion would be to add music/sound effects and more levels. You should play around with the dialog timing as well, as a couple of times I got hit by the enemy because I was reading it, which is kinda discouraging.
