Ives never seen a game like this. i like it

ethankennerly 2012-12-17 03:10

Charming illustrations and melodies. Funny and villainous lyrics in each menu. Bravo!

derosa 2012-12-17 03:17

Dude, this is truly original! I think you'll get a good rating :)

arakade 2012-12-17 03:41

Super! Awesome graphics -- possibly too good! Are you a villain?

vociferocity 2012-12-17 04:54

really charming! very cool concept :)

monomanio 2012-12-17 04:55

This is pretty awesome. I dont think i can compare it to anything i've played earlier!

uuav 2012-12-17 06:21

Super original, ahah you got me singing my villain verses!

loren 2012-12-17 06:43

That was a cool experience, nice job!

aa 2012-12-17 08:23

What a charming little game!
Almost reminiscent of Monkey Island and the Insult Swordfighting.

ditto 2012-12-17 08:51

Haha, great idea man! It's a bit slow(you could have sped up the 'moving forward' a bit imo) but those lyrics where really clever and entertaining!

georgebroussard 2012-12-17 09:22

Reminds me a lot of the Insult Sword Fighting in Monkey Island. Could be an interesting game for kids.

xheis 2012-12-17 10:05

This was a really good game, well done! Fantastic score, good humour, good art, and perfectly innovative.

luck-of-the-day-games 2012-12-17 10:26

I thought at the start I wouldn't like it, but I must admit it's a great game that left me laughing throughout. Good job.

parapup 2012-12-17 10:42

This was a very different approach to what I'm used too I liked it and had a lot of fun and some giggles.

feili 2012-12-17 11:57

That was really refreshing! =)

notnasiul 2012-12-17 14:08

So original!! Great game, well done!

karsithe 2012-12-17 14:12

Very charming and really original :) Looks and sounds great too.

chribbe1 2012-12-17 15:49

I love it. Fun idea, great execution. Awesome work!

edocentrique 2012-12-17 17:36

I've never seen that in my entire life and it's good !

somfunambulist 2012-12-17 18:46

Really unique premise, overall adorable game.

chrismwaite 2012-12-17 20:14

This is my favourite so far by a long way. Very charming and had me audibly laughing ;)

smaxx 2012-12-17 21:11

Very interesting approach, also having the sound "sing" the text is really nice, reminds me of some old console JRPGs. :)

garygreen 2012-12-17 22:22

What an original idea. :-)

ilo 2012-12-18 03:02

Thanks for the encouraging comments!

Having no known musical talent I'm not sure what possessed me to make this. About halfway through I was thinking, "Am I really going to do this?" as I didn't think it would be much of a game. But all in all I'm reasonably pleased with how it turned out. :)

serilyn 2012-12-18 05:04

Reminds me of the opera portion of final fantasy VI. Love it.

nickworks 2012-12-18 07:30

Very cool. Could be an idea for a kids game.

lanoiadimuu 2012-12-18 14:16

Clap clap clap!
Somehow it reminded me a bit of Monkey Island's battles.
The lyrics were awesome.

kgs0142 2012-12-18 14:23

It's fun to have this kind of game play, nice work!

khaotom 2012-12-18 18:36

Adorable use of theme!

caranha 2012-12-19 04:53

It was a very cute game, very original, I liked the idea a lot :-)

It was a bit on the easy side. Maybe instead of being an "all-or-nothing" you could have lines that gave you more or less penalty (or even removed some penalty!)

Also, you should look into having some LD'ers read the lines for you in a post-compo version, that would be awesome!

Thanks for the game!

gamexcore 2012-12-19 11:09

Really funny, although I would have liked it if the responses were ranked as to how evil you are, and then you get a villain rating at the end to make it more of a "game"

gfm 2012-12-19 12:16

Original idea, and nice take on the theme! =)

bigbadwofl 2012-12-19 12:28

Ah, monkey island. Well executed and polished. Well done to you.

samoojamies 2012-12-19 21:20

Damn I sucked at this game :D. Very nice art. Good game!

strkl 2012-12-21 18:19

So fresh ! Amazing use of the theme, bravo !

hypp 2012-12-22 16:52

Nice concept, but gets a bit boring

wombatica 2012-12-22 23:46

loved it, very fresh, good humour, clever. Simple artwork but it works.

gungnir 2012-12-24 16:14

A most enjoyable throwback. Great writing (really kept the whole thing afloat) and use of music. It'd have been nice to seem a couple more props and some costume (accessory) changes for the leads, but given the time - great stuff.

pierrec 2012-12-25 10:23

Very original game, and full of content! (at first I thought it would be MUCH shorter) This is a perfect compo game : simple, innovative, and complete! You got my voice sir.

tobiasw 2012-12-28 01:20

(Aww, I was hoping the happy melody ending would be answered by an evil melody line.)

I love it! I didn't actually want to try any games right now, but this one looked interested, so I opened it to take a closer look, and here I am having the game finished!

The mechanic is nice. Is it inspired by the sword-fighting in Monkey Island? While it was easy at first, it actually grew harder and I made two mistakes.

My favourite part is the music! There is no timer and I think there should be one, but the urge to keep the music flowing works as a good initiative to choose swiftly. Not many games manage to make me decide fast: I tip my hat to you, sir or madam!

Certainly one of the most original games I have played here. Great job you did there!

dr_soda 2012-12-28 05:37

I'm glad this was posted up on the blog, as it's one of the neatest entries I've seen. I played a second time just to see intentionally what would happen when the boom reaches the villain's head. :)

xbelanch 2012-12-28 20:46

different of all I've played until today, but a bit boring.

kibertoad 2012-12-29 22:19

Wow, now that was inventive!

azurenimbus 2013-01-05 04:04

I had so much fun with this game. I really laughed out loud a couple of times.

I really really liked it. Truly, I think you've found something great here, and there's a lot of potential, if you want to further polish it.

jfroco 2013-01-07 14:47

Beautiful and original. Excellent entry. Congrats.

soupy 2013-01-07 21:12

Waiting for the characters to move back and forth was tedious. The writing was pretty good, and I liked the overall idea, but it wasn't a terribly compelling experience. Loved the graphics, though.

zenmumbler 2013-01-07 22:19

It's the evil version of Celes' opera performance in FF6! Original and nicely carried out. Well done.

lotusgame 2013-01-07 22:54

Really novel concept very well done done and polished. Impressive !!

shaneshanekavanagh 2013-01-08 00:26

Brilliant! I kinda don't like you out of jealousy, but I love it, cheers!
