I am definitely using "dammit woman, why must you destroy my dreams?" the next chance I get.

Cool game, you can tell you put a lot of time and care into it, and it shows. Had me laughing more than once. PUUUUNY HUUUUUMAN. I played this all the way through instead of doing laundry.

This game cracked me up quite a few times :D. I'm usually not a fan of point-and-click, but this game got me hooked. SPOILER For fun I chose 'wait and die', but it results in the game ending and needing to do the first part over, not a good choice :P

murrayl 2012-04-24 11:50

Thanks guys; I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@FrozenCow: I'm afraid those are the consequences of the deep, immersive storyline path you chose!

maximschoemaker 2012-04-24 14:17

Lovely visual style and great humour ^^

joshua 2012-04-24 14:30

5/5 for the humor. I would've given it 6/5 if I was able to! :)

qaterknan 2012-04-24 14:41

So far the best game in Ludum Dare 23 I have played! Thanks!

bennuk 2012-04-24 14:56

Very enjoyable! :)

jeroenimooo 2012-04-24 15:04

I though i heard yelling... No hahahahahahhah. hahaha real funny ;p

I liked it, and the fact that there were quite a few alternative story lines helped. I loved the dialog, it appealed to my sense of humour.

One thing I can say is for some of the sound effects I got drawn out of the story because they ended abruptly, whereas a smoother transition out for them stopping would prevent that.

All the best.

Love a good adventure game. Great job! :)

pierrec 2012-04-24 17:18

Yay! AGS buddies!
This game is really great, I laughed many times (each time the kid said something actually ^^)
I love the walking/talking views and I love that cursor (yeah...it's only a detail, but it counts!)

quickfingers 2012-04-24 17:41

great work!! I loved the humour, brilliant.

***I'm posting this on all non-browser games I bring up in an attempt to encourage folks to make browser games next time around. Do not take it personally.***

When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.

Please consider making a browser game next time.

thegamingproject 2012-04-25 01:23

Seriously the best point and click game I have ever played. Your dialogue was brilliant, great work.

gabriel 2012-04-25 01:34

Very good entry, congrats! Got me smiling like in the old Sierra / Lucas Arts games, very nostalgic. Loved the text, and the fancy shirt guy shaking his arms is super funny!

skullsoft 2012-04-25 01:52

LOL I love it! Hilarious!

evilsandwichstudios 2012-04-25 01:54

This one reminds me of the old point and click games, which is great! The humorous dialog is really good.

jens_n 2012-04-25 02:11

AWESOME! I love it :)

derrickdool 2012-04-25 03:36

Nice to see a good bit of humor in the game, and with the extras (readme/features list). Definitely enjoyed the art style as well.

kharza 2012-04-25 09:03

Great fun, love adventure games

caribou 2012-04-25 16:29

"We shouldn't leave them the size of a molecule, it's impolite !" Haha.

trylle 2012-04-25 16:52

Wow! Laughed all the way through. Can't fault anything. :D ...or maybe savegames would be nice, actually.

telluse 2012-04-25 20:40

Wonderful throwback to the good adventure games of yore. Best laughs I've had for a long time :D

waffenwars 2012-04-25 20:45

Absolutely loved it! I haven't enjoyed a point and click adventure game this much since the 90's! Thanks guys.

jwolf 2012-04-25 21:00

Good use of humour!

I can understand the lack of a save feature, but that can discourage replaying the game to see more endings, even if it is short enough to be feasible. Might depend on the player, though.

jiddo 2012-04-25 21:00

Haha, brilliant game. Most humorous game I've played today by far. I kindof feel that I might have picked the wrong ending tho. I'm tempted to do it all over again to try another one. Gotta lover the humor tho. Great work!

lukerissacher 2012-04-26 22:43

Nice one - haven't played an adventure game in years :) Humor was spot on.

gregdevice 2012-04-28 06:41

Lots of fun, original and a solid game! Thanks!

retroid 2012-04-30 20:11

Everything was just perfect with this game, lots of fun!

vigrid 2012-04-30 21:39

I am not an adventure game fan, but it held me for a decent amount of time. The game is full of good humor. Well done!

pixel-house-toast 2012-05-03 09:34

excellent

ad-edge 2012-05-04 05:00

Haha a very well made game.
Was that a jab at the end of Mass effect in there too? XD
Quite a lengthy game, given it was a 48 hour compo, impressive. Would have been cool if the graphics were a bit better, thats my only crit. Ill have to play though again and try to make a force field :)

catman 2012-05-04 13:02

This hit a few nostalgic chords in my heart :) Awesome job guys and in so little time!

gremlin 2012-05-05 15:57

Tiny Albert Einstein!

matthias_zarzecki 2012-05-06 10:47

Ha, I loved it.

This has so many shades of South Park. Not only the dialogue, but also the two-frame speak-animation, which feels like the canadian characters.

Props on the dialogue, music and mood. This also had the first intro I didn't want to skip immediately.

brighterorange 2012-05-06 14:24

Great! I love this style of game and there should be more in LD. A nice complete story and lovely graphics. Sometimes the snarky dialogue didn't come across that well, maybe because it was just non-stop. Some of it was pretty funny, though.

jonathang 2012-05-06 19:55

This is hilarious! One of my favourite bits is the cut-scene of the missile bouncing off the force field. *boink!* Great work!

murrayl 2012-05-06 19:58

Thanks for all the comments so far! It's great to see that so many people enjoyed the game.

chambers 2012-05-08 04:42

This is probably the most funny game in LD23. I loved the graphics, the animations were very smooth and funny. I feel like playing it again to see if there's a good ending (I played the game twice and got nuked in 2 different ways...)

noddy2006 2012-05-13 12:47

Supremely excellent! I loved the story and humour. I don't have anything to add which hasn't already been said, so I'll leave it at that. Congratulations!

fireblend 2012-05-14 00:16

Wow, the humor is top notch, it's an incredibly lengthy and polished game, and the execution is brilliant. Great job! Glad I had the chance to rate this one before time ran out :D
