A nice game, maybe like a texttual-philosophical-Grow-like ?
Anyway, I like it. :)

Damn I can't win.. maybe I'm not a cynic

A new set of clever/funny dialogs by Pierrec! Hurrah!
The graphics are great too ; and imho, these wash drawings are a better choice than pixel-art to express the message & the atmosphere of this carelessness "quest" (they match well with the harmonica SFX too).

I really enjoyed this. Your games always put me in such a good mood. I think the guy in the barrel plus the harmonica music that did it for me.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-04-30 07:46

Well, this feels "heavy". Nice work! Music is a good touch.

Cool game, very minimal great job ;)

cherrynukacola 2013-04-30 10:55

Love your art.

pinkerator 2013-04-30 12:13

Awesome idea )) I played it again and again all day long (not really, but I could :))

yoni 2013-04-30 12:20

Excellent game. I'm not sure if it's possible to win (I gave up after the third attempt) but I loved trying new dialogue paths every time.

pierrec 2013-04-30 12:32

There is a way to "win".
But we made it as hard as possible to get because we're mean. :)

linuus 2013-04-30 12:52

Fantastic game! Love the art and the dialog... and it's very fitting for the theme!

fullmontis 2013-04-30 14:26

This is great! Funny dialogue and fitting graphics. Really has a style on its own.

proch 2013-04-30 14:31

i lolled so hard when strated moving for the first time XD

GreyShock 2013-04-30 15:05

I LOVE the sound of the barrel roll haha. I liked this game pretty much, it totally grabs the Pierrec essence that I like so much :) A great approach to the theme too!

nddrylliog 2013-04-30 15:22

Perfect score from me - got to 5-6 endings and smiled + laughed the whole way through! Very very nice game, and also nice replay value, since you can quickly click through dialogs and don't have to wait for anything.

Truly deserving of Oujevipo :)

sylvain-p 2013-04-30 16:29

Nice graphics and narativ, but more fun gameplay would be better for me (I hate point and click :)

geoege 2013-04-30 17:16

Graphics are so awesome ! Are they real painting scanned ?
Dialog and that barell roll sound are so funny. Maybe missed a little "Ouin, ouin, je suis un bébé!" sound. Haha

Ps : There is a little bug when you keep the arrow key pressed, the barell just freeze.

fabienporee 2013-04-30 17:28

Aw, and here I was thinking me giving up my quest would lead me to the true ending :)

geoege 2013-04-30 17:32

Ahah, finally won !

khaotom 2013-04-30 22:26

Yep. That's an LD48 entry alright.

hissssssssss 2013-05-01 00:50

I'm going to keep coming back to this one until I win! Awesome game.

Carvool 2013-05-01 02:22

Man! Trying to win the game sure can get frustrating. Guess I'm just not a very good cynic.

eggdestroyer 2013-05-01 19:50

Damn, it seems I've found 10 different "endings", but no one implying my victory. I wonder what I've missed. But it means I enjoyed the game - even if I'm usually not fond of this kind of experience. The harmonica helped a lot :), but the whole lot is well done. Good job !

amour-maternel 2013-05-01 23:39

IT WORKS FINALLY. I just had to click direct3D. I loled, great dialogues. Congrats.

adipson 2013-05-02 15:34

Félicitations pour ce jeu sur AGS...Nous ne sommes pas beaucoup de français mais le peu que nous sommes ne se sont pas contenté de prendre que le côté 'simple et pixel art ' du terme minimalism ;)

ragzouken 2013-05-02 23:19

I love the rolling noise :) The drawings are beautiful.

benjamin-soule 2013-05-04 05:47

Really fun game, you guys know how to boost a game replayability :) I wish I could have study philosophy with games like this one.

zyxer 2013-05-05 18:30

Truly great game. Funny, entertaining and even philosophical. 5/5 ;)

glbs 2013-05-05 20:06

Really nice atmosphere

wilbefast 2013-05-08 16:54

Fuck I just spend like 40 minutes trying to come back with nothing and even that wasn't good enough :'( Very good game anyway, it really gives the experience of being a philosopher's pupil.

sestren 2013-05-12 13:49

Dialogue that's actually funny and interesting to read is hard to pull off, and this game does a good job with it. The humor is great, and I like how you keep getting second chances with the test (as opposed to just quitting and restarting), that was a nice touch.

ethankennerly 2013-05-12 17:26

Trading a rock for an apple interested me. If you continue to develop this, when I would tap the right arrow key, the barrel did not roll far and I got confused.

thegiallo 2013-05-12 18:03

Very nice game! I like its humor, the graphics and the narrative. Congrats.

pacifistgames 2013-05-20 17:01

Well, that was interesting.
I chose to keep the rock.
Guess I made the wrong choice.
