LOL. This might be the Citizen Kane of gaming that we've all been waiting for.

I have a netbook with a 1024x600 screen size, at first I was unable to see the bottom of the game window and there was no scrollbar. I was able to play by removing the paragraph on top and setting to fullscreen. Fun game. You were correct when you said it gets weird.

I won't be able to shower for weeks!!!

juniorus 2012-04-24 21:44

This ending makes sense.
Zorlax is so creepy... well done SethR!

I was expecting the katamari intro music with "meows"

Drugs are a great invention.

I ragequit at level 4 (too hard)
Funny game

robcozzens 2012-05-06 00:54

Bullet hell when you have to jump from platform to platform combined with one hit kills is too difficult for me.

menderslan 2012-05-06 02:44

Loved it, great job! The only reason I kept playing through that frustrating last level was to hear more from Zorlax. :P

Zorlax is the epitome of game villainy. He needs to be revived in another game, in another universe, in another compo.

skullsoft 2012-05-06 03:07

Pretty cool! Good audio. I highly enjoy a bit of wackiness myself. Good thing this isn't on Kongregate; everyone would be asking you what you smoked to come up with the wacky ideas. They do that there for some reason.

However...the screen was effed no matter how much I changed the browser zoom, with the bottom part cut off. What the hell kind of screen are you using with that wacky size/positioning?

Enjoyed your game!

allusion 2012-05-06 04:30

Not bad. I liked the growing feature. You watch me take a shower... really?

pixel_3 2012-05-06 06:07

best game ever.

madball 2012-05-06 07:44

Such a catawacy (Russian for "muddle")...
I'm playing it and thinking: "How could nobody do such a game?" Zorlax

madball 2012-05-06 07:46

(Sorry, accidentally pressed "Save")
Zorlax totally gave you both innovation and mood.
But the ending was bad. Try making a post-compo with a better one.

valeour 2012-05-06 15:40

Very cute and amusing.

rabbits 2012-05-06 17:05

wow...I didn't die...good game...what is up with Zorlax...

ratboy2713 2012-05-06 17:12

Very funny.

alex-k 2012-05-06 17:40

Level 4 is a bit hard, but the ending is worth it!

shelby 2012-05-06 17:56

zorlax scared the hell out of me

chaoseed 2012-05-06 18:37

Well, the ending made me laugh, so that's good. ;)

matthias_zarzecki 2012-05-06 19:54

OH GOD THE FACE

Lovely platformer! Has a lot of potential. Respawning was kinda weird, as you destroyed the projectiles, and could just attrition your way through.

kibertoad 2012-05-06 20:14

Ahahahaha.

ilo 2012-05-06 20:52

Loved the bathetic ending, and the humour throughout. :D

animegeek32 2012-05-06 21:22

Why didn't I think of this?

Shadow 2012-05-06 22:58

omg zorlax, haha. Nice platformer. Lot of humor there. Nice entry. A bit too difficult perhaps but I liked your game. :thumbsup:

kevinworkman 2012-05-07 01:05

Hahaha this was hilarious. And it made my cat REALLY curious about the sounds coming from the computer. I love weird games like this, so great job. There are some issues that need some polish (hairball comes from the middle of the cat when it's big, one of the legs is not colored in one of the frames), and more levels and variety would be cool, but this could be a ridiculous and addicting little game.

chambers 2012-05-07 04:34

Dude... I'm gonna have nightmares with that face for a long time.

Loved the game despite that =P

chambers 2012-05-07 04:37

Sorry GLaDOS, you're not the most memorable/omnipresent villain in the history of videogames anymore.

tcstyle 2012-05-07 18:22

That was hilarious. The whole mood is great even with this simple mechanics. Level design was okay, too.

barigorokarl 2012-05-07 22:02

LOL, instant like ôÔ
Great job for the voice acting and ... well ... story :-)
the collision detection is a little bit chunky, but it's totally ok.

beerman 2012-05-09 13:21

I LOLed at "I'm watching you take a shower!" We need more Zorlax games now...

jonathang 2012-05-13 11:29

It's a good mechanic, and actually quite difficult in the later levels, but a bit of a short game. Has loads of character though!

pov 2012-05-14 00:40

He's right! I am a cool cat!
