I actually really liked this. I loved seeing the way the player react like that and it was pretty funny. The reverse screen was a great touch too.

More like an interactive story than a game, but a very well done interactive story. Excellent! Quite original.

big plus for backward text and great idea with video in the background!
game very simple though

Love it! It's just too short...

angela 2012-12-17 23:23

the reverse screen thing is pretty cool, and the gamer rage was funny.

Wow, this was really cool! Reminded me a bit of RaRa Racer by increpare. While it certainly wasn't an in-depth game, I thought it did what it did well, and I don't know what you should change, if anything.

Great interpretation of the theme !

wisegamer 2012-12-18 00:36

cool but no sounds!

Excellent idea, and the backward text was a nice touch !

Had a fun "ah-ha" moment when I understood the backwards screen. Great concept, great reactions. Hope you expand the game play portion. It'd be fun to have them (able to) make progress.

Thanks for those feedbacks !

"Hope you expand the game play portion"
Yeah, we would have loved too, but that was our first game, so we really tried to stick to our main objective : "Finish it".

But you're right, it could be really interesting to try something a bit more longer. But to achieve this we should find more actors, because we've already given everything we could, in our acting skills :D

Haha that was awesome, it was laughably easy to shoot the guy down, but that only made the player's reactions all the more justified.
This is one of the best uses of the theme I've seen so far :)

Well done. Great interpretation of the theme.

moomoo112 2012-12-18 08:28

simple, yet hilarious
I almost wish there was more to it, but at the same time its perfect

timtipgames 2012-12-18 08:59

Very funny indeed. Would have loved some sound :)

aare 2012-12-18 09:29

This is the best interpretation of the theme I have seen so far - this game really make you feel like a villain for enjoying seeing the furious face of the player :P

therestlesstaxidermists 2012-12-18 09:54

Thank you all for your feedback!

I love how you mention the player you see in the background as "the player". That's the whole point. <3 to you all.

kgs0142 2012-12-18 12:47

Haha! I like to be the villain here, really fun idea!

pixel_3 2012-12-18 14:29

Great. I love the idea of playing the other side of the screen and the "player's" diffidently added to the fun, but I felt it was far too easy and far to short.

hypp 2012-12-20 18:16

Excellent! Great idea!

darkfrost 2012-12-20 19:08

pretty coool

arkadydracul 2012-12-21 21:53

Best entry for the theme, but I think you can put some other things like a decent AI

wombatica 2012-12-22 10:33

Excellent idea! enjoyed it. Don't think I've ever seen a reverse screen game like this. 10/10 for innovation

hnjslater 2012-12-22 15:48

Really funny.

therestlesstaxidermists 2012-12-23 18:38

@ArkadyDracul Thank you for your kind comment! About the AI, did you not play well? YOU are the AI! ;)

Thank you all, Internet people. :)
