Oh my god, the people explode? How utterly macabre. I thought it was going to be like frogger, but it's like frogger on meth.

I really liked the humor and the ambiance. But I didn't find it fun to play. However this is a nice try and still a god job

finefin 2013-04-29 11:16

see if you can find all endings ;)

zerodivide 2013-04-29 12:36

How does he take all those potatoes home without making them explode? Did the curse have a secret clause about potatoes? :)

finefin 2013-04-29 12:40

good point. I guess it has something to do with the guy's DNA because he's a couch potato himself. :P

Pretty interesting stuff, and I really enjoyed the writing. Somehow I missed the instructions about the arrows at first and tried to use the WASD keys. Oh well - at least that helped me find an ending I probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise ;)

How many endings are there, by the way? I found three...

Well, first I didn't read the texts and just played along, thinking it's another violent game which I'm not very fond of. But, for the 2nd play, it was nice to notice it's at least sort of designed so that you're actually supposed not to touch others, so you can play it w/o the violent part. :)

I found three endings and enjoyed the whole thing. Great stuff!

supermomo 2013-04-29 12:51

Awesome !

omaromeir 2013-04-29 13:31

This is a pretty funny game. Fun one too :). I got two endings :D.

kyyninen 2013-04-29 14:35

I got two endings. Restart button should skip the intro screens. Also some potato-related texts overlap. Otherwise neat!

heychinaski 2013-04-29 14:48

Pretty disturbing but very funny. Nice work on the sound too.

numpad 2013-04-29 16:25

Great game! Love the graphics and the humor at the begining (also the potato shop)!

fishbrain 2013-04-30 08:27

Nice work... simple and surreal. Enjoyed the style.

sko 2013-04-30 09:28

I liked it! Figuring out what to do and then experimenting was fun. Graphics and music fit the grim theme.

pereubu 2013-04-30 10:07

That game kept me playing a long time, I love it. The narration at the beginning is just hilarious, great job, probably the funniest game so far :D

anatolat 2013-04-30 15:02

Love style and story of the game. Are you going to make a sequel or any kind of continuation? I was a little bit disappointed the game was to short)

mikel 2013-05-01 21:46

Funny :-) 4 endings, are there more?

finefin 2013-05-02 05:51

@Mikel & anatolat: you found them all, but I plan to add more actions and endings (before I submit it to kong + NG). I just need some time and muse.

finefin 2013-05-02 05:53

(which is a rare good since my apartment is full of craftspeople right now...)

meszka 2013-05-02 22:11

Nice mood and dark humor. The music was great :)

daniel2357 2013-05-03 18:03

The introduction is very humristic . Nice music . I liked the game very much.

shellfishgames 2013-05-04 08:46

Not particularly fun, but other than that a great entry. Beautiful presentation and mood and it's pretty funny.

someone 2013-05-04 22:25

Muahahahaa... That was crazy. Got four endings.
Was a little disappointed when it said "mostly" not killing anyone when I managed to not kill a single person.
Didn't actually see the countdown until my third playthrough.

xewlupus 2013-05-07 05:05

Aww, this game makes me... have... feeeeeelings.

zkenshin 2013-05-07 17:08

Interesting game. Well done. :)

sebastian 2013-05-07 18:44

What a bizarre premise for a game lol!
I just kept bumping into people on the way to the potato shop. Creepy.

xanjos 2013-05-12 16:07

It's a rather strange game but still, the graphics are well done, the audio is pretty nice and I love how you managed to inject some subtle humour into MiniMale's rather unfortunate backstory.

thepsc1997 2013-05-12 16:27

"MiniMale made game for Ludum Dare" - haha :D
But.. This game is veery good :)
I loved that game! <3
Really BIG congratulations to You finefin ;-)

nathanj439 2013-05-12 20:22

Nice game. I liked the multiple playstyles and endings.

aymes 2013-05-12 21:50

Found 3 endings so far!

I love the fact that if you decide to kill everyone, more people appear to kill! Brilliant :D

Enjoyed it, nice entry!

mtrc 2013-05-12 22:47

Lovely idea with the variables and ending.
