Very nice, all that ascii is really impressive every page made me smile :)

bicemaster 2012-12-17 22:07

Fun theme. Cool ascii graphics :). Had a crash when I attacked the moustasch though.

Can't play windows games. :-(

Very nice and different.

markavian 2012-12-17 22:39

Totally legit error message?

markavian 2012-12-17 22:41

Ahh... I get it, I played through a second time to confirm. Good work.

@BiceMaster:
You might want to check out what exactly that error message actually said. :P

@RexPeppers:
There are some Linux builds too, but if you're on a mac, sorry :/

Funny little story with 2 endings and ASCII-art. The art of ncurses is a dying on so bravo, sir.

xsmalldeadguyx 2012-12-18 17:03

There is no time for pokemon references!

tumoxep 2012-12-18 17:05

Haha, it's awesome.

matx 2012-12-18 17:46

Nice writing :)

shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-18 18:51

It crashed, I think I need a pun card.

lansiir 2012-12-19 02:49

@shaneshanekavanagh No need for that. Just ascmii for the driver update.

nddrylliog 2012-12-19 04:27

Ha! Found a bug :) I played around, then decided to turn on moustache, but then was drowned under a sea of "no handler found for: incredibly lame pun" messages.

Or maybe that's all part of the game and it just means I've lost? :) Anyway, I loved the writing, the ascii art, and the references. Good job!

lando-walters 2012-12-19 05:03

lol! I laughed. Its not much of a game, but its funny XD
<3 totally legit error messages!

xandrew 2012-12-19 08:04

That was the greatest. It had some laugh-out-loud moments as well as a thrilling story! It's a pity about the crash. I'm sure there are some open source pun libraries floating around that you could use next time.

arch-jslin 2012-12-19 16:35

I'm giving high graphic score for this one!

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-20 00:51

hahaha still laughing! Way to go oldtopman!

hume 2012-12-20 14:00

Bonus marks for an ending that requires ctrl-c.

A+ would play oldtopman games again

Not my cup of tea.

Normally I post a wall of text here pointing out flaws and suggesting improvements, but in this case I just don't like the game for what it is. It's the kind of 'LULZ SO RANDOM XD'-ness you frequently see on forums, except in game form, with no story to speak of, no humor other than the 'inherently funny' randomness and a couple of references, and there is no gameplay to speak of to make up for its lack of story, writing quality and humor.

I guess it's kinda harsh, but that's how I see it.

lansiir 2012-12-21 16:10

@VDZ I made this game for laughs, not inner complexity, but I see what you mean. Not everyone is going to like the game, and I appreciate the review and honesty. Thanks. (yes, for real, no sarcasm)

norgg 2012-12-21 16:48

Totally legit comment.

cardboard 2012-12-22 02:11

Cool ascii art and some puns that were pretty atrocious but still funny. Also, I played it from a linux terminal so it was more fun. :)

commanderstitch 2012-12-24 19:43

Hilarious. top marks for humor! and theme wasn't bad either, you were very evil as a gamaker and as a gameplayer. I felt villionouous. It was kind of weird that the main character wanted to murder. very, non-hero. The endings blew my mind... Cons would be graphics, gameplay, audio, music, mood, etc. :D

eli 2013-01-03 13:21

Aha, aha! The classic punster approach. Well done!
I enjoyed the settings and the dialog a lot. The menus popping up all over really added some nice depth to the system, making it much more substantial. Gameplay could have used more challenge.

(ps thank you for the extremely warm review on my board game. I really appreciate it!!)
