Best fun I've had since yesterday.

I love the graphics and the music!

joyboxed 2012-12-17 10:27

overall nice game, takes some time to figure out what to do, go check it out =)

Really nice graphics, but lacks of gameplay/interaction/evil stuff

delahee 2012-12-17 21:08

Really beautiful...but too empty...:'(

The Windows version doesn't work for me. :(

tompudding 2012-12-17 22:52

It looks lovely, and the title is fantastic.

smaxx 2012-12-17 22:57

Yep, doesn't work/react for me (Windows 7) - tried the executable as well as the .love file.

When I started the game the window (titled "Untitled") windows didn't repaint and after a few seconds windows said it wasn't responding. I began writing this reply and after about a minute I heard music and the game had finally started!

Upon pressing space on the title screen I encountered the non-repainting window once again, looking as if it had seemly crashed until finally the moment of fate:

The gameplay music began and the... window disappeared... the music continued to play, in fact, it is playing as I write this comment.

Pretty bummed out I didn't get to play this since both from the screenshots above and the screenshots you posted during the 48 hours, it, at the least, looks visually fantastic. I hope you get this fixed at some point so I can try it out! No doubt I'll be checking back later.

I also couldn't play it on Windows.
My OS is Windows 7 64bits.

I tried to execute to standalone and the .love (on 32 and 64 version of löve), but none worked...

I'll later log on ubuntu, then I'll try again. =D

I hate to say it, but I agree with prior poster's comments, but there seems to be an issue with the game. My experience was exactly like @rxi, except the game did eventually come up.

I really like the art style, but it's very short. :)

I will try to rebuild the windows binaries, sorry everyone.

sheep 2012-12-18 09:37

Apparently love2d's preloading sound and Windows don't like each other. I made a new Windows build that doesn't preload sounds. Try this. Sorry for the trouble again, I have no Windows box to test this on.

rxi 2012-12-18 14:29

Ohmigosh. It looks like the new windows build works!


The game was microsized in play time and some of the collision was a bit dodgey! I did really enjoy the graphics, though, and for the most part, think it was one of the nicest art styles in all the entries I've seen, it'd be interesting to see a more fleshed out game made with a similar look to it.

I also encountered a funny crash on my first play through which felt like you were breaking the fourth wall:

Very good artstyle, but I couldn't understand what I was supposed to do. The toaster just kept saying malfunction. I love the art, and the engine was very smooth. OSX

heloheu 2012-12-18 19:36

Oh my god, those graphics *_____________*

rhy3756547 2012-12-18 19:36

haha, nice!

gfm 2012-12-19 16:12

Tried again and this time it really worked. =D

The graphics and audio are really good!

caribou 2012-12-21 09:33

Nice art !

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-22 11:38

aaaaaahahahaha :) fantastic mood and graphics!

dr_soda 2012-12-22 18:57

This is the most charming entry I've seen yet.

The only complaint I have is that when I enter the laboratory building the game puts me right in front of the door, and both entering and exiting are done by moving "upwards", so you just flip in and out of the building over and over until you time your motion just right.

The humor is through the roof. :)

krutech 2012-12-25 20:08

Really nice graphics. My first reaction was to fix the doomsday machine with a slice of bread =)

spelchan 2012-12-25 21:06

Windows version kept crashing on me so I was never able to finish the game. Too bad as it seemed interesting.

hexot 2012-12-25 21:16

Nice graphics and hypnotic music

hirsch 2012-12-25 21:29

The pretty drawn graphics and the music generate a nice atmosphere. Apart from some bugs (e.g. you sometimes can go through NPCs or you spawn on the wrong place when you change the screen) well implemented game which made me chuckle a bit ;)
