Hey, it was cute and somewhat fun! :)

evgis 2012-04-23 13:17

I still have no idea what i just played, i just know it was fun!

flyboy 2012-04-23 13:24

With the downloadable one, I got an error.
"There should be 'TWaM_Data'
folder next to the executable"

You need to include all the files methinks.

guzzungo 2012-04-23 13:25

Muahahahahahahahahaha

mastazavr 2012-04-23 13:32

I really laughed at start and I think this game is really cool! Good job!

aaronsnoswell 2012-04-23 13:41

It was really fun! I disliked the... shocking final scenes though ;) Very funny, and a nice difficulty curve (I finished with no health left). Some music would have really made it ;)

COME HERE LITTLE VILLAGERS... BWA HA HA.

the8donut 2012-04-23 13:42

This made me laugh pretty hard :D DAT MOUTH!

the8donut 2012-04-23 13:42

LOL

kimau 2012-04-23 13:44

I enjoyed the humour ^_^ Otherwise a straight forward platformer. The jump sound was a bit repetitive.

pgil 2012-04-23 13:47

Fun little game. If I had to critique one thing, the positional panning of the sound is too extreme. Since the player character is on the left side of the screen most of the game, 90% of the sounds come from one speaker. This was great though. Loved the ending!

toast 2012-04-23 16:12

Haha, brilliant.

suese 2012-04-23 16:13

Hilarious.

j0hnjwj 2012-04-23 16:28

I have to say that the first twist was freaking hilarious.

nuprahtor 2012-04-23 16:31

That was fun. And a bit harsh, but it's ok!

karnak 2012-04-23 17:19

Hahahah YOU SHALL NOT PASS

lacutis 2012-04-23 17:20

Fun game, On the web player with ear phones I didn't hear any sound though.
The humor was good. I especially liked them commenting on his hands and then the reveal at the end.
There were a few glitches where you could be standing on the edge of a building and not crush it.

thotep 2012-04-23 17:42

The writing is funny, but I didn't really like the gameplay.

angrygeometry 2012-04-23 17:52

the controls were really unresponsive to me but i guess that's the wooden pc i have. still, i got quite far. the humour wasn't really my thing, but it was okay!

binary_girl 2012-04-23 18:01

hehe ..the punch animation is the best :)

lidfrid 2012-04-23 18:15

Great humor :)

crazyheckman 2012-04-23 18:18

Pretty fun, with good art. I felt like there didn't need to be two scenes where people are gettin it on right in a row. But it was funny and lots of fun.

jlauener 2012-04-23 19:39

Audio didn't worked for me (web)

andrew-2 2012-04-25 17:34

I wish more games would try to be funny.

pitoum 2012-04-25 17:38

Ah ah ! Love love love the end :) Was a brief nice funny moment ! Thanks a lot (and nice graphics !)

zorf 2012-04-25 17:41

A similar idea to our game. :) Great fun, although the ending was a bit... surprising.

xeeko 2012-04-25 21:46

Funny:) Reminded me of the dialogue in Super Mega Worm

yanmania 2012-04-25 21:52

Great fun! He reminds me of Grawp.

shigor 2012-04-25 23:55

Heh, glad to see that I'm not the only one who put some "mature" stuff in the LD :)
Yeah, gameplay mostly sucks, but it really is funny. Extra points for the postmortem in verses :)

fatsquirrel 2012-04-25 23:59

And who was firing the cannons? Good work.

johnfn 2012-04-26 00:00

Hilarious game. Good work. "Who's firing the cannons anyway?"

yapikom 2012-04-26 00:08

Funny, Looks semi-nice but incosistent. I loved the animation of the people running away, but that may have been the weakest punch a giant have ever done. :D

strega 2012-04-26 01:01

Very funny. stomping on the villagers was really fun. I liked the simple art style.

omaha 2012-04-26 03:49

That was hilarious! Especially the scene with the king. Love it.

jeroenimooo 2012-04-26 08:16

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!! i passed :D real funny game!

raptor85 2012-04-26 15:57

tried running under WINE on linux but it locks up at start, so can't test.

blob 2012-04-26 21:24

SQUISH. The game was fun! Final scenes were... not my style.

matthias_zarzecki 2012-04-29 08:13

The random texts make this awesome.

azurenimbus 2012-04-29 23:48

It was a lot of fun and hilarious. But it got a bit repetitive, even though the dialogue was awesome. There could be more to do.

vigrid 2012-04-30 19:43

Congratulations on completing LD. Too bad there was no sound. For some reason I didn't really like this stomp-and-destroy game as much as I liked the other ones - probably because of the blood and swearing. Odd, because this is exactly my cup of tea.

frederickk 2012-05-01 01:44

Best humor!
But I don't see how it fits the theme...

kevinworkman 2012-05-01 02:36

Hahaha, nicely done. This is a great start, and it included a surprising amount of variety (different enemies, different kinds of levels), especially for an LD game. Great job.

ilo 2012-05-01 03:01

@ FrederickK - size is relative. If you are big, then the world must seem tiny from your perspective, right?

Anyway, I ought to have commented sooner, but thanks to everyone who commented and played my game - I had a real blast making it and I'm glad to see that, for the most part, the humour hasn't gone unnoticed or been lost on too many people (as I feared). :D

free_napalm 2012-05-01 15:21

You redefined antihero with this game lol
I had a lot of fun despite of the rather repetitive gameplay, due to the dialogue and story.

fireblend 2012-05-01 17:15

Haha, this was like a not-so-arcadeish and more rude version of my game. Really enjoyed it, great job!

datamosh 2012-05-01 23:41

THE most humorous game so far. The graphics helped and are really good AND funny (the tiny people waving their little arms). Stops at the right moment, when gameplay maaaybe starts getting repetitive, but I actually wanted to see more dialogs :) Pleaaaase make a big massive version of this.

spooks 2012-05-02 17:59

Very fun! funny as well. Actually it had a great mood as well.

amodo 2012-05-02 20:14

rofl

ratboy2713 2012-05-03 00:45

Cute and funny, but the opening scene is too long and he moves too slowly. Also, for the future, don't use CTRL or SHIFT as primary keys, StickKeys are a pain in games.

adventureislands 2012-05-03 17:13

Hah! Well this sure was.. different. Well done, hilarious little game even though the gameplay wasn't so great. Good thing you lose nothing when dying because some of the projectiles were next to impossible to dodge.

30dogs 2012-05-03 18:51

By far the most LOL-inducing ludum dare game. Very well done. Bahahaha his haaands!!!

someguy22 2012-05-03 22:43

haha funny! :)

johanp 2012-05-04 06:19

I had a fun time! Love the verse at the ending.

lanoiadimuu 2012-05-05 16:27

The graphics were really bad, but some animations like waving arms and the humorous part made me think this game is good. :P

make-a-game 2012-05-05 23:22

Cool mood and text!

dr_soda 2012-05-06 02:38

How delightfully goofy!

I don't know what to say that hasn't been said by others at this point. I think their feedback is pretty accurate.

SethR 2012-05-06 03:14

Came for the violence, stayed for the funny texts

derosa 2012-05-07 02:03

Haha, I laughed with the shaking arms :D

jigxor 2012-05-07 11:14

That was hilarious! My favourite part of it was how every character was unique. Every phrase was very funny to read, and the ending was unexpectedly funny - the poem was awesome too!

Overall, great game, I sure did laugh :)

deepnight 2012-05-07 20:31

Funny game :)

dustmyte 2012-05-09 08:26

Hahaha, perfect ending. You've got a great sense of humor. This was extremely fun to play!

unicornpooping 2012-05-09 11:46

What happened to his hand!?!? AHH!

ddrkirbyisq 2012-05-09 13:43

Better than it seemed at first glance, actually.

The ending was the best part xP Well, that and the squiggly arms everyone had.

krisjet 2012-05-10 15:52

This is the funniest game so far :D

olkeencole 2012-05-10 23:45

Cute fun game of rampaging through the city. Fun references throughout

knighty 2012-05-11 09:41

It's a city full of wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men!

sheepolution 2012-05-11 10:57

That.. was weird.

dr-pingu 2012-05-11 14:53

@Evgis said it !

Nice work dude :)

jimmypaulin 2012-05-11 19:38

Hahaha that was totally hilarious! Best ending to an game I've rated by a mile, congratulations! I like the art and how you tied the "lack of hands" into the story etc, really amusing. And a whole poem, all in 48hrs! Excellent work, 5 stars

hungyg 2012-05-11 20:00

great text :D

wyzfen 2012-05-11 21:29

Good humour and story, but annoying controls.

impossible 2012-05-12 20:06

Hah hilarious game.

tomhunt 2012-05-13 19:37

The dialogue is nicely done and adds a lot of humor to the game.

sonnybone 2012-05-13 21:13

Pretty dang funny. Good job on the single screenshot on this page... really sets you up for the reveal. Nice job!

brighterorange 2012-05-14 00:00

Wow, that took some surprising turns. :) The game itself is pretty repetitive, but I did laugh a few times, and I found my main character's graphics really funny too. Big ups for the verse-based credits. That was my favorite.
