Just brilliant. Definitely among my favorites :D
Awesome. My guy worked a little bit each day then just practiced flips on the lawn until it was time to knock off. You'd think it would be a bleak world with so may people starving to death in their appartments, but nope, this is a bright and cheery game. Nice work Sos.
Awesome concept :D
Moral of the story: work hard, buy discount food and everyone will starve to death.
The pace is great. I love all of the people scrambling over themselves to get ahead.
DAMN THATS SNEXY
I am not sure what I am meant to do with the powers of boot man when I'm the last survivor >_> Is this a trap Sos?
really nice sos! ...as always ;)
great stuff as always :)
Great!
Quite fun, but a bit too linear maybe. And is that the 'World of Chip' music I hear on the youtube video? :D
lol just realised that if you never eat and never work you can never starve to death. It's the working that really kills you.
One of the best so far.
Great stuff!
This game had a great flashy flow to it, great music and well-blended sound effects, but the gameplay was short and lack-luster. Flashy, well executed, but lacked the substance - particularily in theme, fun and innovation - to bring it past 4 stars.
Good job.
Thank you for this.
I was expecting another weird experience coming from SoS, and here it is! Another game in the best SoS style. Amazing!
Great game, different and also a protest I guess.... Isnt another game its a interesting piece of game. Well done.
Crazy but fun. Love the art style.
Great game! Love the idea and the art!
Amazing game! My favorite so far and hard to top. Amazing style and a hard but true mirror to society. How they all (have to) rush for the discounts and work themselves to death... so true.
Haha, awesome game.
A bit chaotic, didn't get it at first :P Graphics are pretty funky. The music is neat too. Fun :)
I love it, but honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing.
Nice how everything is animated. The game is not that fun to play but it's an original idea.
I have the powers of Bootman! LOL, love this game Sos.
I was digging it back when you released the first progress build, I spent ages as a block running around 'Booting' all the other blocks.
It has such a bleak story, but this game just makes me smile when I play it. That's what a game should do, well done!
I liked the graphics and how it responds to input, but didn't find it brought out the theme that well.
I like it! but it kind of made me feel bad about myself :/
Atmosphere is great, and I like the wario-ware-shuffle between places. I did have some trouble seeing my character though.
Amazing. And: amazing how fun and depressing at the same time.
I committed suicide because I was so lonley.
I committed suicide because I was so lonley... Really nice game!
Omg, what an amazing game. Innovative, fun and beautiful. The music is awesome too. If only there was an ending of some sorts after you get the power... but its a minor complaint. :)
My favorite so far !
Just like real life!
Amazing. Incredibly lighthearted presentation, yet so depressing.
Currently most advanced simulator of today's society
Nice music and cool concept, it's sad that there is not much to do!
first 5/5 I found, very original and playable
Great style and use of the theme.
dude, you're the first i had to give 5 stars in each category. EVER! the music is super addicting, the other little guys are super funny especially when they all die (lol?)
there's just one mayor flaw how to get through life. after the second day running like a madman like all the other npc's i thought to myself: why work? i used more stamina to work and get food than just standing around doing nothing. so right now while i'm writing these lines jake reached day 9 already without doing/eating anything (and the others all died). if i could apply that to reallife, that would be awesome
1) make the other guys die harder
2) add a constraint that you HAVE to eat something at least every few days ^^
Great work! Perfect from top to bottom!
This game is a really cool idea. I love the music too.
Everything Sos touches turns to AWESOME. The man is a legend.
Very polished and some beautiful graphics there! It's always nice to have some voice-overs too.
I love the little animation the guy does when you "do stuff".
Great job!
Great game! It was a bit hard to tell if I was doing the right thing, but in this case that wins extra points for being more like life.
Good presentation and cheerfully cynical.
Bootman.
Great game with great idea, graphics, music. Everything!
Well that was depressing... Five stars!
Loved it. Simply brilliant.
How do you make games so fast?! This game is one of the most complete and polished I've seen! Great graphics and audio, also unique game. I think more people should keep getting added so there's always people to compete with. Also, may an indication on which place to go to, like "Operate" or "Fish 90% off!", or maybe a green arrow pointing which way to go. Amazing job!
Very very cool! Among my favorites. I love the words that comprise the background, it's so old-school platform. (For some reason, Prehistorik2 came to mind). I love the mini-game mechanic
Great game.
Great idea and concept. At first it felt a little too hectic but after some time the gameplay was fine. Very depressing parallels to real life.
Overall a brilliant game.
Brilliant
One of the best, I would say. Love your take on the theme. The graphics are great too, congratulations!
Really great graphics and sound. It's a little annoying having to sit and wait for the level to change after running out of stamina/money/food.
Surefire excellent. The boot thing seems pointless though and isn't clear. Also once you figure out the mechanics you can keep going forever.
This is great. I played until I was the last guy, but then the framerate dropped to an unplayable level and I had to quit. Perfect take on the theme, really well done.
I spent WAY too much time on this game. Congratulations, this is brilliant.
Simple, clever, not at all bad. I like.
I like it alot, but I don't know what to do with the booting powers...
Amazing concept, kind of difficult to find out how to play in the start. It kept me wondering what the ending meant. Did Jake get crazy because of loneliness? lol
Wow, this is super weird. :) I loved the intro and I was so confused; does bootman even come back? I want to do boot!
Brilliant concept.
A little too confusing, and didn't get the whole bootman thing but is definitely a solid entry . The game is amazingly well done, quite polished, with cool art and fitting soundtrack. Your work never cease to amaze me. Congratulations.
Awesome job! The gameplay was fun, and it's kinda scary - living on this planet isn't far off from living on earth... I didn't want to herd like others, yet I couldn't help but do it. It's really impressive what you achieved there. Also, I liked gfx and sfx as well. :)
Graphics are stunning but at first it was REALLY confusing! But nevermind, overall is great. Concept, GUI, audio... Congratulations!
You seem to have captured the bleakness of existence pretty well :)
Graphics and sound are awesome, and I love the idea. I'm just not sure it's fun, though.
Fantastic, I loved it. So much fun ;D
What I love about your game is that it has such an uplifting mood, while the content seems depressing.
It's hard to rate the fun, as I understand that the message would not work if it was more fun to play. It's some kind of anti-game not really meant to be fun.
Amazing concept, one of my favourites among this LD.
Very unique game, I was quite pleasantly surprised.
Nice game, soo funny :)
