Yeah, Many surpriseeeees in this game. i like it :)

infernet89 2012-08-27 12:33

Lol, i love nonsense! Maybe a little bit too much hard.

turnip 2012-08-27 12:38

Ahahaha you so are a troll, but in a good way! I liked the way it was the gameplay itself that evolved. I also like how you didn't allow killing bunnies. Unfortunately I stopped there because it was so hard! I did get to the end once, but I didn't know I had to pickup that thing so it just said 'game over'. Felt a bit unfair because I'd completed the challenge. Didn't manage to get their again.

Overall good job!

leebo86 2012-08-27 12:40

Loved it. It definitely kept me on my toes.

maximschoemaker 2012-08-27 12:42

So yeah... I ragequit! :P

capro 2012-08-27 13:05

Thanks all.
@turnip: that point is exactly the middle part of the game and it's the most difficult too. See it in this way, you are a pioneer: now everybody knows that taking that thing is necessary. You made the game easier. ;)
However, I'll modify that part if I release a more polished version.

madpew 2012-08-27 13:40

Tried a second time after reading the comments. still I ragequit at the first screen. Movement is horrible(it seems on purpose) but without any guide what to do and where to go this doesn't make much sense. The gameplay evolved from the start until when I closed the browser. Random isn't hard.. it's just random. And even if it isn't, that's what it feels like and that's why I quit. Sorry. 5 Stars for Mood because I ragequit.

agersant 2012-08-27 13:47

Very very frustrating but great humor.

jokerden 2012-08-27 14:02

First time I feel like cripple when playing by blue circle. But when i reached end of first level great surprise waiting for players. Game is very various. Some weird, so extraordinary. I hope you will get some fame with it because game has something.

dwallin 2012-08-27 14:14

In the space ship stage the controls are jerky. My suggestion to you is using bad controls to make a game difficult is taking the easy way out. Make the controls as natural and well-designed as possible and then use intelligent and well-thought out gameplay to create the ragequit-worthy difficulty.

pjchardt 2012-08-27 14:35

Fantastic! Of all the games I have played, the genuine surprise and joy I had when I turned into a spaceship in this game is unmatched.

ditto 2012-08-27 14:58

I ragequit after about 20 tries with the bunnies, cool game though^^

quill18 2012-08-27 14:59

I'm not sure I understand the logic of the first screen, despite getting past it -- both in terms of how it works and also WHY you would choose to implement this barrier.

A bold and innovative entry nonetheless.

Jeremias 2012-08-27 15:06

What a nonsense...

... I liked it. Couldn't beat it. The inverted-gravitiy-jump-and-run-part was too hard for me ^^.

theomnis 2012-08-27 15:08

Ragequit at the platforming part :)

vicethal 2012-08-27 15:08

fun! Eccentric. My game didn't even have moving parts, so I have to congratulate you.

capro 2012-08-27 15:14

Wow,very different reactions as expected.;)
But too many people like it, I didn't expect.
Thanks again for all the feedback.
I uploaded the game on StencylArcade too.
Maybe you'll like more a small screen and maybe you'll find the game easier as i do.

juaxix 2012-08-27 15:25

Oh my...what happens with this ball? XD

bemmu 2012-08-27 18:15

I suspect this game was directed by M. Night Shyamalan

panzermancer 2012-08-27 18:58

That was completely and utterly insane. Easily the most creative game I've seen yet; it was just so silly and ridiculous, but still was hanging on by the single thread that was its batshit narrative. Great job, man, seriously! We need more games like this, for sure.

nate427 2012-08-27 19:19

Very funny! I like the difference between ancient and modern.

thurig 2012-08-27 19:21

Great humor! Nice game play.

maxium 2012-08-27 19:40

Didn't care too much for the intentionally bad movement at the start :P I got to the bunnies and decided not to kill them though.

sheep 2012-08-27 19:45

Hard is good :)

pixelulsar 2012-08-27 20:01

I was wondering why I died in the space shooter, but then I read, don't shoot the bunnies. Very random game.

buffalophil 2012-08-27 21:14

Very cool!

luizhgmonclar 2012-08-27 22:35

For some reason I felt I should endure that first level... And it paid off.. great job, I liked it :)

jprogman 2012-08-28 00:24

You forgot to program the left button in one of your games... or didn't you? Lots of variety in this game, and that's a good thing. A little difficult, but manageable. At least... according to me, I did complete it. Whoohoo!

ragzouken 2012-08-28 00:59

Very artsy, but what does it all mean?! I found the platformer level quite enjoyable after a while, but didn't like the shooter - maybe I'm playing too tired to react.

quasist 2012-08-28 02:14

I am no KID!

yettatore 2012-08-28 03:14

Meaningless mechanics are excellent!!!

P.D.: You are a troll... Admit it!

daydalus 2012-08-28 03:45

Pretty funny game you have here. Gonna try to beat the rabbit part again soon ;) Clever stuff

csanyk 2012-08-28 04:31

I ragequit soon after I saw the ball. Lol.

eyehawk 2012-08-28 08:13

Erm.. things didn't bode well when the game claimed to want to make me ragequit - which it did :)

capro 2012-08-28 10:22

@jprogman: I forgot nothing. It's intentional. :)

spouwny 2012-08-28 12:10

I didn't have time to finish it, but I enjoyed it. I will come back after work. :) Good entry!

gustavodort 2012-08-28 13:49

I got a little frustrated with the retry screen, and the ancient stage when you become a robot, I mean, the jump barely allows you to pass the spears.

I sure laughed though!

keenblaze 2012-08-28 13:59

Ragequit )) But liked it

yann 2012-08-28 16:16

hahaha directly from brainstorming to game withouth any form of selection :D it was fun and very frustrating, I'll go kill some rabbits now

cappagames 2012-08-28 16:24

This is really unique. Liked all the surprises.

alvivar 2012-08-28 22:47

I like it a lot! Great Overall in my case. The problem were the controls, they need some tunning.

Great music also.

benderbinary 2012-08-28 23:35

5/5 - you make me feel bad :)

krides 2012-08-29 00:44

This is the most ridiculously obnoxious games I've played in my life. Good job, man. Completed it. 5 stars for everything :-)

domnomnom 2012-08-29 04:50

Very vaired game, it seems to have some lag/physics/timestep issues. have a read: http://gafferongames.com/game-physics/fix-your-timestep/

theballcollective 2012-08-29 07:48

Liked it! Killed my eyes and ears, sure, but I had a good time. I liked the music in the first area. This comment is a comment.

imef 2012-08-29 11:42

I actually had fun playing that game!

pbdiode 2012-08-29 15:58

Definitely ragequite. Interesting though.

dedhedzed 2012-08-30 16:01

Really clever. I first took the 'modern' route (after doing the previous levels, I figured I could handle it), but then a game-breaking bug meant I had to restart, so I took the 'ancient' route. Really like what you did there.

matheod 2012-08-30 17:26

Funny but really hard ! Surprise are everywhere ^^

triplevisiongames 2012-08-30 21:12

Really well put together I loved the difficult controls! Not sure about the rabbits though man, rabbits are evil they should be allowed to be shot by spaceships!

dector 2012-08-31 15:13

This game definely has mood. And it is little bit... hm... strange. And it's cool!

timtipgames 2012-08-31 15:32

man this is crazy. and hard. and i need a therapy now.

colapsydo 2012-08-31 18:39

Invece io, non sono rimasto zen.

Mixing various gameplay inside a story was a great idea.
I took the ancient way, but I'm not brave enough to face again the rabbits to see how is the modern way. Regarding that part, I liked the fact that it was impossible to go back, it influenced a lot the gameplay.

murrayl 2012-09-01 16:07

THIS GAME IS SO HARD. OH GOD.

But pretty entertaining ;) I like the weirdness.

djacobs7 2012-09-02 11:40

Nice graphics. Good Sound. Had no idea what to do - ragequit on first screen

darkshadow 2012-09-05 20:01

The ball moved well enough, you just had to get some speed up before you could jump up the ledges. What was less fun was getting through those bloody bunnies! Which is a shame as I'm sure the next area would have been interesting.

haddy22 2012-09-05 22:32

Very random :) Fun little game

saintheiser 2012-09-06 08:25

Holy shit... What the trash! I can't understand that game!

wan 2012-09-06 08:33

If there was a WTF rating, you would have won all 3 medals.

angrygeometry 2012-09-13 09:04

this was surprising, i liked it.

airdeck 2012-09-14 05:33

What did I just play?



(I enjoyed it all the way to the end)

cyboot 2012-09-15 16:56

just great :D

alwaysinbeta 2012-09-17 21:57

Hated it with a passion. Great stuff!
