30 seconds in: Already 5 stars for humour

hahaha Opera HQ

Also 5 stars for theme because this is really what the theme category is about: Good interpretations of the theme. :D

Even though the jumping on platforms stuff is fairly simple and not that fun by itself, I still really enjoyed this game, because of the music and humour

scriptblocks 2012-12-18 03:50

Really Liked it. Wanted space bar to be jump though

doos 2012-12-18 04:01

Was too impatient to beat opera, but really liked the different themes and cutscenes.

zatyka 2012-12-18 04:21

Silly, simple, and very funny.

gdateam 2012-12-18 04:25

cute story. as a fan of minimalism in game design this appeals to me

CireNeikual 2012-12-18 04:31

Great stuff! 5 for humor!

teamtibbles 2012-12-18 04:31

As many other have said 5/5 for humor!

arakade 2012-12-18 04:36

Fun + hilarious = Awesome :-)
Also, is it just me or was Opera hard to beat back in the day!!! Wow, don't know how many times it got me!
p.s. I've fixed my game since your review <nudge, nudge> :-D

illugion 2012-12-18 04:41

This is the funniest game i've played in this ludum dare, i started laughing before even playing the game XD that was awesome ! Blue screen of victory !

tdrgames 2012-12-18 04:41

WIN! Final score 26550 :)
Starts out looking like a crappy game with like 2 levels but it just keeps going and the music is pretty sweet.
Wait till you get to Firefox... hahahaha

-1 for not using HTML5 :-D

gregfagan 2012-12-18 04:50

Thought is was very funny!

01010111 2012-12-18 05:20

Knew I'd be giving out lots of stars as soon as I saw "100% MSPaint HD Graphics"!

joncom 2012-12-18 06:06

This took being the villain to a whole new level. Lol

emveyh 2012-12-18 11:44

omg that's hilarious :D also 5 stars on humor, great job :)

loren 2012-12-18 16:46

haha, so good. Love the HD art and the realism achieved! Great job :)

caribou 2012-12-18 18:59

Funny game, simple mechanic and i still managed to suck. Chrome was mean :(

lidfrid 2012-12-18 19:17

This game is awesome... I laugh so hard when i saw Safari xD

thomastc 2012-12-18 19:30

A great take on the theme! The MS Paint graphics make it easy to miss that there is actually a rock-solid game here.

The platforming bit was a bit repetitive, but the boss battles were great and really had progressive difficulty (except Mozilla who was too easy). I would really have loved to see the ending but didn't have the patience to beat Chrome, who is just mean. I didn't really notice the music until I found my head bobbing in the rhythm. Oh, and did I mention it's hilarious? The intro, the safari hat and the opera mask cracked me up.

Five out of five on everything but innovation (because at heart it's still a platformer!).

pierrec 2012-12-18 21:40

I like how this game, just like Zed's one, manage (thanks to their humor) to make me enjoy basic gameplays that are usually boring. I also like how you didn't even try to make it hard and let us players run through the game and have fun. This is a solid entry!

floko 2012-12-19 05:41

ahahah
great story, awesome endin!
I don`t think safari should be in south america, It should have been in Africa, I guess...
Also, when you respawn, monsters don`t respawn, so it just becomes a lonely walk to the point where you died.

still very entertaining =]

biped 2012-12-19 19:37

My fav game so far. Love the blue screen of victory.

azurenimbus 2012-12-20 01:06

Hilarious, great interpretation of the theme :) The graphics might be misleading, cause this is actually a pretty solid-feeling platfomer.

A suggestion to make it better is to invest some time in level design to create interesting challenges as you play through. The humor itself is worth it, but some variation on the levels would be great. Good job!

nsun 2012-12-20 15:47

The appearance and taste of the graphics are quite justified from the title screen (100% MS HD Graphics, Featuring Comic Sans...)

Should we interprete in two ways : "platform game" !?

(nice music)

amidos2006 2012-12-21 09:16

Nice game I loved how every boss have unique pattern :)

epiplon 2012-12-22 11:00

Creative, funny and unexpected villain. Good job!

sir_json 2012-12-23 18:29

This game is awesome :'D

brant 2012-12-24 17:18

Good game!

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-28 14:00

This is great. Love the intro. Great choice of music.

Gameplay and level-design could be tightened a bit though. Most platforms being near the top is bad, as is the player jumping out. THe projectile moving at the same rate as the player is peculiar, at least. I also didn't like the platforms and evemies being build so ou essentially blind-jump into it.

Some diversity in level-design would be fun and easy too. Not every level has to have a "chasm", some could be flat.

Still, awesome work!

(also how did this get 50k plays? Is that normal for a flash-game on newgrounds? :P )

samoojamies 2012-12-28 21:51

Nice parkour levels and the story line is great. Good job!

nolanlabs 2012-12-28 23:16

@matthias_zarzecki It got 50k plays because it was featured on the front page for about a week. Tom from Newgrounds really likes LD games, he'll feature all the decent submissions (flash or html5) right after the compo.

zenmumbler 2013-01-01 22:04

Simple, cute and funny.

cappelnord 2013-01-01 22:49

nice variety for the bosses. the levels itself were to repetitive. But cool lil’ game!

dr_soda 2013-01-01 23:49

Nice treatment with the little safari-hat in the Safari stage. :)

Also, nice easter egg when you click the "x" button on the score view!

The fact that you're playing as one of the most reviled browsers in the history of the web really makes this much more thematically appropriate than I would have thought possible for such a simple game.

dedhedzed 2013-01-03 11:44

Yes. Yes to all of this. SO yes. Amazing graphics, too.

ayce 2013-01-04 17:51

Very funny game, i especially liked the graphics and music. Chrome made me rage :( But I did it! TheFridolin showed me this btw

bentog 2013-01-05 22:08

Brilliant! Simple, yet really fun. 5 stars for humor, loved the browser puns and the ending.

pixel_3 2013-01-06 02:19

I had fun playing this, it was very humorous, but I did find restarting from the beginning very frustrating, along with the floaty jumping always screwing me up on the bosses. Other than that, great game.

crashbanito 2013-01-06 03:53

This game is fun. While conceptually very simple, you want to continue playing just to see what crazy setting the next HQ involves. Hilarious concept all around.

fishbrain 2013-01-06 14:19

haha!... good ol' fashion anti-microsoft fun!

voidstar69 2013-01-06 14:59

Hilarious! Although the platforming gameplay is quite simple, the boss battles and the funny story make this game brilliant!

csanyk 2013-01-06 23:25

Despite being totally STOOPID, I completely LOVED this game and smiled and laughed the whole way through it. Hell level would have been trippy if you could have animated the flames. Music soundtrack was kick-ass. I really liked this one. The "intentionally crappy" genre is so underrated.

sonnybone 2013-01-07 23:46

Don't know whether to give five stars for graphics or 1 LOL
Hilarious game with a rad soundtrack. The levels are very easy but the last 3 bosses can be a bit tough. Decent challenge and a great interpretation of the theme. Awesome ending!
