Pretty hilarious concept, although if you have no ugliness potion you're guaranteed to get tackled by the swarms of ladies -- there's no good way to avoid them.

Pretty hilarious concept, although if you have no ugliness potion you're guaranteed to get tackled by the swarms of ladies -- there's no good way to avoid them.
Amazing instruction page. Really funny mechanics - kind of like a demented platformer version of pacman. The controls could have been a little more solid, and the death screen could go by faster, but I'm loving the concept.
Funny idea, really annoying audio :) (and slow game over screen)
Not the biggest fan of being tricked into an inescapable pit.
I thought the audio was less annoying than advertised. The rarer sound effects (win, lose, etc.) were great.
I really love the single-mindedness of the gamestate (johnfn's likening of it to pac-man was spot on). But because it's on a platforming course, there were some interesting patterns and strategies.
Really well done, especially for a first-platformer-ever. good work man!! Looking forward to future yonigames.
I agree about the pac man feel, its like the power pill and munch ghosts vibe. Pretty off the wall, I like it! :-)
On the first level, there are a part where you can't jump high enough to leave the pit. I guess you used the sprite's rect as collision detection, because there was a lot of times that I lost but there was a clear gap between the player and the girl. And, sometimes, the sound got somewhat annoying, but I guess this is what would be on the real world :-)
However, having said that, I liked this game. As the others pointed out, I though this was a platform pac-man in a very humorous set up. Well done!
