Fantastic! It's like I'm xopsx Are you only able to kill your driving buddies or am I just a bad person?

Lovely accompanying music, space tea and a day in the life that is satisfying, brilliant first LD!!!

Yaay! You can pick them up normally yes but I wanted to surprise players when they experimented so didn't say what would happen :D

rejooh 2013-04-29 11:25

I think this game really catches you. Personally I was so interested in what will happen next. Oh and I killed one of them. :)

Very cute, reminiscent of Once Chance, that flash game you can only play through once (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/555181)

Love the art style, the use of the theme, and the random bits of humor!

I killed Bobby :(

First LD26 game I've been compelled to finish! Amazing art! Let down by bad performance and screen tearing but that's just GameMaker's way.

Thank you Mythalore! The performance is something that concerns me... If it was consistent i could do something about it but it is so random. Some times it runs like a dream, other times it chugs and crashes. Same PC, same settings etc. madness. Still, thanks for taking the time to play it :)

Great stuff. Loved the space tea.

designernap 2013-04-29 22:38

Hey all! I managed to fix a crash bug which has had a nice knock on effect of fixing the screen tear and chugging! :D
Uploading v1.2 now :)

Nice!

I don't know what to think. Bobby died, seems like he's having a tough day :/

This is really great! It's awesome to make a game that's really personal. Love the ambience. Nice work!

Hi ! Here is some feedback.
What I loved :
- the concept (close to mine in fact :p)
- finished and clean
- color scheme consistency
What imo could be improved :
- consistency in the story (either it goes a bit everywhere and doesn't tell a full story, or I did not understand what was behind)
- a few bug with controls (freeze when changing direction, not sure I when I presses space it was efficient each time)
- for the space key thing, a tip would be to audio or display an immediate feedback

nice overall, thanks for the game !

Really enjoyed it, I feel almost like it was a day in the life of myself, minus the basketball potentially, and the driving, but still thoroughly enjoyed.

Had no issues with the game itself and I had fun throwing a few dozen basketballs :)

I also always imagined space tea would come down on a little parachute.

In game maker you can set it to be an exe file when you extract by using the dropdown menu in the save window below the name.

designernap 2013-05-02 17:48

Hey Skulls! Thank you for the advice. I have quickly created one and uploaded it just now. Link is at the top! :D

skulls 2013-05-03 01:26

No worries, always happy to help a fellow jammer :)

Crashes for me every now and then. Not bad other than that.

ERROR in

Very cool. I also chose to do a life sim, but it turned out very different! Couple of bugs - got a code error after getting in the car and got stuck completely when I got to work, couldn't progress any more. Love the art, audio, narrative, and theme. Excellent.

designernap 2013-05-04 09:14

Hi everyone, sorry for the errors, just seen that when I export it Via an EXE I get some issues that are not present when it is installed. Removed link for the moment until I can fix it. Thanks to Eternal_Rest for the heads up!

Got this error message at driving start:

"

Then it went on, but hanged up at the games studio.


Though: A very pretty, interesting game!

dmitrix 2013-05-04 19:52

woah, that was pretty great. I killed Bobby and Craig though. XD

zkenshin 2013-05-09 00:50

Oh God, I killed every one of them D:
Nice art, really helped with the atmosphere (:

HelkeGames 2013-05-18 19:33

Neat idea, love the concept!
