It's different, but not in a bad way. Unique. It's not a game, but it's interesting

coffeeonimal 2012-04-23 08:51

I didn't see the part about the "positive" vs "negative" interaction until after I played. Definitely makes the concept a little more interesting. I like!

perilouspete 2012-04-23 08:58

Saved the customers and burnt the attendant to death, does that mean I win?

keely 2012-04-23 09:16

Not fun as in fun game, but fun in other weird ways. I think the positive/negative mechanic is very cool! I could see how it would make an awesome bigger game with time and polish. I'd give you 6 stars on innovation if I could.

Really interesting experience... Left me scratching my head for a while. But then, that might be I have a dry scalp :)
No interactive experience where "I HEART HITLER" shirts are announced could ever be a bad one! :D
Feeling like squeezing some more fun out of it!

oddgoo 2012-04-23 10:04

I agree with the others, the positive/negative interaction system has a strong appeal behind it, it makes you wish there were more scenarios to experiment further =).

The Mother(?) and baby sprite were click-able but nothing happened after more than 20 interactions.

I don't know if I like it as a game, but wow - do these HTML5 entries become better and better or what? I freakin' love the art style. And maybe it's not really a game, but it is fun in some weird way. :)

aaronsnoswell 2012-04-23 11:27

Wow - it's not a game, but this is still really cool. Love the idea of positive vs negative interactions - and how you have no clue what that means until you try it . Art and sounds are amazing. Great job!

Really cool idea! It's hard to pick out any one thing, but it'd be really fun to see more games with basically the same mechanics.

mikesoylu 2012-04-23 12:14

I couldn't open the web link..

sidetrackgames 2012-04-23 12:18

Unique, i like it.

nocturne 2012-04-23 12:24

I can only concur with the others that have posted so far... Not really a game this, but rather an experience! But a fun one that I would be willing to repeat, as the game mechanic is excellent and really deserves far more game than it gets. I hope you expand upon this!

angrygeometry 2012-04-23 15:16

it's an interesting concept, but uh, i can't get over the fact that you used nazis as a prevalent theme/device.

uberneen 2012-04-23 15:17

I like the gameplay mechanics and the end-game reporting.
It was sometimes difficult to figure out what interactions were available, but otherwise very nice!

graytest 2012-04-23 15:20

I really like the pos/neg interaction idea and the graphic style. As you say though, it isn't really a game.. A bit more of a story/gameplay and I would have really enjoyed it!

mattchu 2012-04-23 17:32

I thought it was interesting. It has an interesting premise and had some interesting solutions. A bit small in scope, and it ends too quickly to really feel a sense of true exploration. Definitely would like to see the concept expanded.

johanp 2012-04-23 17:50

Great fun little peek into a weird world.

benswinden 2012-04-23 22:15

As an exploration you obviously succeeded what you were trying. As an interactive piece of media it failed pretty bad for me. I didn't understand what i could influence or why i would want to or what affect my actions were having. If you started with a simpler situation with a smaller amount of things to influence and some more direction for the player i think it would've been more succesful.

robbiehunt 2012-04-23 22:28

Graphics and audio = fantastic but...

I dunno dude. I see what you were going for, and I like the aesthetics.

I just feel like it needs something... more? But still, good job!

r3ason 2012-04-24 03:14

Hmm, don't really have much to add to the comments already listed; it was certainly different! Graphics are great. Really. Took me a bit to figure out what items were interactive, but once done it really piqued my interest. I'd for one like to see this developed further...

free_napalm 2012-04-24 16:49

Very unique. Loved the mechanique and dialogue. Would be quite cool to have a normal game, like a platformer played only with arrow keys, but you can also interact as in this game with the mouse.
But the way it is, it's missing something to be a game. Whatever it is, it's interesting.

"Want to hear a joke? A seal walks into a club..."

Hilarious and unique. Just short of full points across the board from me. Excellent work.

robcozzens 2012-04-25 01:51

I didn't get it. I had no idea what to do.

skullsoft 2012-04-25 03:21

Aaack! Oh no! He commited suicide after 5 seconds of interacting with me!! :(

LOL I tickled the islnad dweller, made the cashier happy (did he really eat that gum?), beeped the customers, tried to steal candy from the baby...and broke the teleoprter, making it shoot the customers to a gory death.

Really weird and interesting simple multiple-choice game! I like how A not all the choices are obvious, and B how simple it is to choose good/bad interactions. Now I know why mice have two buttons.

eamon 2012-04-25 17:13

It was a ok game, but i think it should be longer and have a tutorial as it was pretty confusing...

thotep 2012-04-26 09:54

Interesting concept, it would be cool if you developed it more (whole world reacting to player's actions)!

kyatric 2012-04-27 03:05

Innovative, good work.

eli 2012-04-28 14:27

Nice! I kind of read it as a critique on modern games to give these dichotomy choices and then summarize as "good" or "bad" overall.

ad-edge 2012-04-29 11:45

A unique kind of game, I had to play it though a few times to see what I could do. One of the first LD games to make me chuckle (launching the workers violently into the ceiling)

randomoutput 2012-04-29 17:20

interesting game. Love the art style and the way you looked at the theme. Well done.

wademcgillis 2012-05-01 16:29

You should get a job at http://notgames.org !

tinymagus 2012-05-02 09:30

One of my favourites.

ratking 2012-05-04 14:38

I liked the general idea of finding out afterwards, what you did some klicks before quite interesting. Very unique. But after three plays I wish I would have understood more.

christinaneofotistou 2012-05-13 13:32

5 stars for Innovation and Theme. It's unique
