Congratulations!This game is hilarious. The gradual shift in good to evil really makes the player attached. The humor is sublime. Best game in the jam I've played thus far!

dom2d 2012-12-18 02:38

Woah. Life changing!

georgebroussard 2012-12-18 04:00

I almost quit a couple times along the way, then it transformed into the movie Falling Down. Good idea, needs more solid execution. Would maybe have worked better to stay in one viewpoint and transition, vs switching to several (was jarring).

valeroth 2012-12-18 04:06

Had no idea what was going on! But fairly fun for a while

saampahlavan 2012-12-18 04:09

this is really great. love how it's constantly changing and the turn near the end.

loggiant 2012-12-18 04:13

I was a little put off by the graphics at first, then I realized it is my one true love.

raroadkill 2012-12-18 04:15

Fantastic game. Very interesting and destroying everything once you turned evil was just wonderful

surpy 2012-12-18 04:46

One of the best game I played in LD 25.

kewry 2012-12-18 05:33

That escalated quickly, great game

laaph 2012-12-18 05:45

I didn't find either goat.

GTA style ending was fun!

clownybastards 2012-12-18 06:44

Best game EVER! I just love the concept

bitwise-constructs 2012-12-18 06:48

Very good game! Enjoyed the stork part the best.

barret907k 2012-12-18 07:19

Man so good. Takes a little to get it started but awesome. Love the Office Space vibe.

vrav 2012-12-18 07:34

Hell yes.

winterblood 2012-12-19 00:25

Nice interpretation of the theme, like the repeated visits to each minigame and the changing pace. Good job!

angrygeometry 2012-12-19 01:45

very cool!

neverautomatic 2012-12-19 07:47

Great game! Slamming through the traffic at the end was extremely fun and hilarious.

mase 2012-12-19 07:53

Great pacing, graphics, everything. The attention to detail, such as the variety in the cubicles, is nice.

bigbadwofl 2012-12-19 08:24

Sitting at work when everyone is on vacation. This made me sad. Very well executed.

dr_soda 2012-12-19 09:02

What a great entry! It was really neat to see the sort of disjointed rise and fall of the action, and also the subtle little indicators everywhere. I really liked "LATE FOR NOTHING!"

spotlightor 2012-12-19 11:53

Excellent! Great idea, great story!

jackspinoza 2012-12-19 11:55

Late was great, I loved it, all the little graphical touches were sublime; stork splatter, pixel fires, evil hat. Loved it.

zimra 2012-12-19 12:00

Loved the concept !

fishbrain 2012-12-19 13:17

...brilliant!

floko 2012-12-19 13:51

very nice storyline, cool take on the theme, congrats =]

saguaro 2012-12-19 23:36

I really enjoyed every part of this game. The evil parts are the most fun (and the final evil stage is the most therapeutic) but I did enjoy delivering the babies because I liked their cute little baby sounds.

codexus 2012-12-20 00:29

Very cool game, it reminded me of Sos's McPixel. I just wish there was a bit more to do in the mini games.

laughingleader 2012-12-20 02:26

This game was such a wonderful surprise. I loved everything about it. Every scene that cut to being stuck in traffic, and then having it end the way it did, had me in stitches. Well done!

brotherst 2012-12-20 03:39

BRILLIANT. BRILLIANT. BRILLIANT. Will show my brother this first chance I get. I was just describing making a game that involves lots of smaller games in a sort of story arc, but I couldn't remember my example from a previous Ludum. This is perfect. The navigate traffic part blew my mind, as soon as I crosses over I was like "I just know the other lane's going to start mo... whoahhh it's real life.".

The only criticisms I have is that it's not longer and that it's too easy to go on a full out rampage :) Maybe some more build up would be nice? ie events that suggest a rampage is about to happen but doesn't spell it out for you. Really funny game. Highest rating I've ever given a Ludum game I think.

Also thanks for the kind comments!

somethingbeautiful 2012-12-20 13:25

Great game!!
one of the best in the competiton
Good job guys!

dustystylus 2012-12-20 13:26

I think we have a winner!

shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-20 13:52

Thank you, I was beginning to lose hope around here. Goal for today: gain coolness through mayhem

worse 2012-12-20 17:40

Awesome product, laughed so much! Still, I'm reluctant to call this a game (and rate it high) since the player interaction is minimal and replay value zero.

greenpixeldev 2012-12-21 00:50

Great concept and story! :D While it is more of an interactive story than a "game" it is a great entry, nonetheless! Awesome job!

coffeeonimal 2012-12-21 01:04

Fun game. I like the evolution of the mini-games. Very clever.

joeprogram 2012-12-21 06:06

Most excellent! The quick cuts between boring tasks totally stringed me along until the switch in the game. Though pressing space to take a beating was totally hilarious.

The only part that didn't really fit for me was the deliver babies part.

faust 2012-12-21 08:08

Wario like mini game, and nice transition from good to evil. Excellent work!

logun 2012-12-21 08:46

Hell yeah ! Simple and so cool ! A damn fkcin good entry for LD !

feili 2012-12-21 12:43

Awesome stuff!

pierrec 2012-12-21 13:36

And another Warioware! Yay!
The first part wes great, the second one was bloody awesome!

CireNeikual 2012-12-21 16:29

I love it!

illugion 2012-12-21 17:56

This game is epic ! I laughed a lot when i became evil ! This was so cool, awesome work!

ahmed-majd 2012-12-22 13:25

Hahah, hilarious, i likes when i'm suppoed to pass trought the traphic....nice work

grambler1 2012-12-22 20:29

Really really great experience overall, although ut feels more like a sorta deep experience rather than a game.

cwilloughby 2012-12-22 21:26

Amazing. Like the shift. Wasn't sure how the storks fit in. Space as a transition and a mechanic made me skip parts like the fight, because I was hitting space to make the dialog go away, but it progressed the game. Traffic was infuriating. It was just like real life - the other lane goes faster.

recursor 2012-12-23 01:22

Hah. I loved this. Make me go through all that frustration of getting beat down, then I get to dish it back out. I especially enjoyed causing mayhem on the freeway. Nice work!

eni 2012-12-23 08:57

I was so confused at what was going on until the twist came. Then it was all so so funny! Great job!

har_g 2012-12-23 12:27

I wait for this. this is awesome !!! 5/5

zappi 2012-12-23 14:31

The best entry I've played so far.

caasi 2012-12-23 16:47

I like your art, the story and the BZOOKA!

endesga 2012-12-23 23:38

nice!

ddrkirbyisq 2012-12-25 09:07

Good concept! Yeah, I agree that it's very office-space feeling.

simianlogic 2012-12-25 15:03

Cute style, but wtf was up with the storks?

mmorphinee 2012-12-26 18:55

Nice and very Wario-Ware-like. The first part was frustrating and the second part was fun.

lotusgame 2012-12-27 09:50

Very, very interesting ! I adore the political way you take !! I bookmarked your game to show it around ;)

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-31 21:27

Wow. Amazing work. Love how it turns around. Music is done beautifully. Props for organizing this :D

eatenalive3 2013-01-01 00:31

Loved it! This is my 61th review, but my first all-5-stars. Absolutely fantastic. You nailed the theme. Great job.

goerp 2013-01-01 21:11

This looked great, sounded great and being evil on the road was a great experience. . .
so a great game!
Well maybe more of a story than a game, but great nonetheless

zenmumbler 2013-01-03 10:03

Nod to Megaman, big nod to Office Space, nod to Falling Down, you've got the right inspiration alright. Quick cuts of the games was smart to not dwell too long on any activity and then the release of destroying it all. Good visual story with some game elements.

garethjenkins 2013-01-05 12:22

Awesome. Wasn't sure on the theme at first, but it's oh so good. Love the Dorian like conversion.

azurenimbus 2013-01-06 03:08

The solution to life: becoming a sociopath.

The game is pretty cool. Reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOUdakrP52E

deathray 2013-01-06 23:02

Graphics / levels were amazing given the time. I thought the stork mini-game seemed out of place, but otherwise it was enjoyable for a play-through.

kalumis 2013-01-07 20:25

That's so great :D That's hilarious and so well done !!

sonnybone 2013-01-07 23:53

AWESOME! Loved the progression and the COOOOLNESS METER expanding as you become more evil in the mirror. Really hilarious. Lots of variations in gameplay, and an amazing interpretation of the theme. GREAT WORK ALL AROUND!
