I enjoyed your funny adventure game.

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-17 03:51

Is saying "It's A typical Zed-Game" good or bad? Because it totally is!

Love the low-fi-approach. Nice work on the minigames, the "Yeah!" is awesome :D

colapsydo 2012-12-17 13:56

This all mouth-made soundtrack is nice.

coffeeonimal 2012-12-17 15:00

I finally got to stroke the turtle!
That this is a the prequel to 1GAM foretells.. disturbing things. Can't wait!

tau7153 2012-12-17 20:29

Very funny, well done. Can't wait for the continuation.

pierrec 2012-12-17 20:31

I stroke the turtle like crazy during 20 seconds before realizing I had to skip the last dialog line firt.

I played the 2nd level 20 times before realizing I could just say on the middle of the road...

Now I feel dumb. Thank you.

As usual, your game made me laugh out loud, as usual (and as Matthias), I like the low-fi approach and as usual, your mouth-made audio is great.
I like how you managed to make me play boring mini-games and feel satisfied about it.

The annoying thing is I also made a games with mini-games and funny-narration, but now I realize it's not as good :/

nolanlabs 2012-12-18 04:25

This game is absolutely awesome. Well done, fellow MS Painter.

adventureislands 2012-12-18 20:49

And here I thought graphics made with mspaint couldn't look good, guess I was wrong. This was pretty nice, the final challenge was a bit annoying though. Hilarious writing and sounds!

joekinley 2012-12-18 20:51

Oh man what an awesome game you made there. You should totally release the soundtrack :D
Buuut, one but here, am I the only one who can't seem to be able to read most of the text as it doesn't show up in the boxes? Most texts made no sense as it didn't show everything :(

Still fun game, fun minigames, and I was told to be a VILLAIN by that crazy lab goat. So I won. You did a great job

leafo 2012-12-19 00:17

I love the art, it's very well done. Good game.

nostradamon 2012-12-19 19:54

I admit, I used the right-click cheat for the last mini-game :/
Nice game though.

saguaro 2012-12-20 00:39

Best sound effects ever. The turtle-ped's hit detection is questionable HOWEVER it did not stop me or ruin my dreams.

drd64 2012-12-20 01:46

Loved certain mechanics of the game but there was quite a bit to read at the beginning. Nice Work indeed.

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-20 02:25

Haha this is very cool :)

evilseanbot 2012-12-20 04:07

Very charming personality to the game. The turtleped part seemed too unforgiving.

mcc 2012-12-20 05:55

very cute! i love the how lovingly home-made it feels. the writing also reminds me of text adventure games i did when i was younger :D

infernet89 2012-12-20 12:44

Woha, that was very long for a Ludum Dare game! Really liked the "music", very nice idea!

Here are some annotations:
1- In the 2nd minigame (the cars) maybe you inverted the graphics of the other cars, because it's looks like they are going backwards!
2- Last minigame is insanely hard. I cheated that by clicking with right mouse button (two timees= and move the mouse directly to the goal.

Very funny story too!

delahee 2012-12-20 12:51

what an intriguing game !
really custom made... :)

dedhedzed 2012-12-20 13:52

Ha, I didn't know you could even cheat in the last minigame. I actually hate that one, since it decided to just... not work (hence the ugly fix, I do apologise). The collision detection in the racing game is meant to have 'depth' to it, in that your handlebars can go in front of the cars on the top, since you're technically in front of them, but that's kinda hard to do with my, ahem, 'limited' art skills.

lotusgame 2012-12-20 14:05

Well, its fun to see a MS Paint design :)
Its sort of classic, but i had fun playing it and the voice is very good! Humour is good :)

killmonday 2012-12-20 14:13

The turtle stroking was intense!

ditto 2012-12-20 14:19

Soundeffects and soundtrack made me giggle^^ Also super nice graphics!

nicealexanderas 2012-12-20 14:38

hahahahahahaha funny game bro! :D xD LOL poor turtle :S xD

steamgirl 2012-12-20 17:40

It was pretty fun - and certainly very funny! But the turnip challenge made me feel dizzy/sick and hurt my eyes (not sure if it was the flashing or the tension building up). That sort of ruined the fun for me.

Other than that - really well done! I'm impressed how much you managed to achieve in such a short amount of time!

hypp 2012-12-20 18:06

Very nice especially the music!

strkl 2012-12-20 18:35

Very very funny, reminded me a lot of Runman (graphic wise) the sound is ridiculously funny,

I closed the game after my tenth attempt a the car minigame, way too frustrating, but great job, love you humor

brotherst 2012-12-20 19:31

Initially very funny and then I got a bit tired of reading. We think it needs a higher action/dialogue ratio. It was indeed ms paint-errific though, and we loved the soundtrack until our ears started bleeding.

orangeez 2012-12-21 00:09

Strangest little game I ever played. With BB and goats.
Minigames could use some polish - if it wasn't for your tip about 2nd one, I'd never finish it - but overral enjoyable.

sestren 2012-12-21 11:20

Leaving the sound of you catching your breath during the singing was pretty funny. The whole thing progresses nicely and is fun to play.

gritfish 2012-12-22 06:03

Very funny. The voice-music is great. Congrats on building three separate games in one.

bneutral 2012-12-22 17:23

Pretty funny. Some hitboxes could have been a bit smaller though.

mrevilguy 2012-12-24 10:02

Amazing. Love your art style and vocalized music. Hilarious game - one of my favorites! :D

grifdail 2012-12-29 16:55

Wahou ! I loved the music. I guess you already know the car hitbox probleme.

gungnir 2012-12-29 18:05

I was quite completely entertained by this experience. Thanks.

bentog 2013-01-02 12:05

Dun dururun daran dun durun darun dun dun... Funny game!

wademcgillis 2013-01-02 18:40

I NEVER COULD GET THE HANG OF THE TURTLEPED. YOUR COLLISION BOXES BELONG IN THE LOO.

garethjenkins 2013-01-02 19:21

I was a little skeptical of all the words at first. Then it got fun and I didn't care ;)

feili 2013-01-02 22:54

I enjoyed that ugly game! good job!

fishbrain 2013-01-03 13:44

lol... awesome! ...i think the music has melted my brain.

impulse9 2013-01-03 15:19

Nice music and great humour. :)

kibertoad 2013-01-03 22:36

Turtleped was too hardcore for me.

derosa 2013-01-04 00:32

I really LOVED the "music" and the audio! I almost give up with the last mini-game (I'm the worst with the mouse...) but I finally made it! GREAT game! Thanks!

ddionisio 2013-01-04 06:04

Pretty awesome game. I enjoyed the dialog and improv voice, there must have been a lot of breath catching to make this game. Props to that!

the-jack 2013-01-04 17:59

I like these kinds of things. If games can be classified the same way art is, this style is definitely part of the "Brutalist" movement. Good work.

aslai 2013-01-05 02:18

Those sound effects...

azurenimbus 2013-01-05 04:13

Absolutely Zedalicious :D

Loved the changing mechanics of the different levels. You did a great job unifying everything through concept and presentation. Also, you're the master of vocalized audio effects/melodies.

Really enjoyed it, was the perfect ending to a terribly stressful evening.

recursor 2013-01-05 12:51

This was quite humorous, and I like the MSPaint artwork too.

wisegamer 2013-01-05 20:33

very fun to play game , only if I didn't restated the second mini game a dozen times :(, and great story too , it is prepared for a second part when you kill the g**t scientist and save the world

zenmumbler 2013-01-06 16:46

I had to mute early on so I wouldn't start hurting people. Quite a bit of animation involved and a lot of verbiage, the game parts are a bit underdeveloped.

dalbinblue 2013-01-06 23:37

Okay, that was funny, and the art and music style really meshed well with mood of the game, but that demonic abomination of an operation-like mini game is ridiculous! It took me half an hour, using a digitizer pen which should as precise as one can get. Finally with my resolution as low as it could go I got through. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Anyway still a really good game.

lassedissing 2013-01-07 15:07

Very funy game, but the second minigame had some broken collsions and was therefore quit hard. But overall an extremly nice game!

bobrocket 2013-01-07 19:41

very fun!
