Oh, Steve. Nice, strange game. Though it did crash/close itself after a while
Had a lot of fun playing this!
Hilarious! Got 206,700 points by the end. I'm glad I stuck with it (and didn't break my 'e' key!)
Ahah, oh Steve! I love how the rapidfire controls aid the narrative! Well executed. Also, FIREFLY REFERENCE!
If only he had left the pie alone. Steve has no use for pie.
Cool game! Steve can indeed zen! Good work.
Brilliant! Loved the humour and the setups for the jokes, and how Steve answer to everything was to fight it. :D
Very entertaining! A new browser window also works for those of us without a second monitor ;)
Hahaha. Excellent. Loved the humor. Especially the deer. You had fun with this, clearly.
I'm glad I saw that through to the end.
Cool game, some very nice humour in there.
Weird game but I liked it. Like ur graphical style!
Magnificent. After a few seconds of playing I was like... hmm... and then a few seconds later... waaaaaargh!
Great game!
Wonderful game. Only thing that annoyed me was the meditation sound which was pretty annoying
Very funny
Hilarious! Good job! 211975 Points and spellt lots of poor Bambi-Blood :p Really enjoyed the game!
Awesome. This is one of the games that I will show friends when they ask me if there were notable games in the compo :)
I can't feel my finger
Very fun! Steve it's great
213325; I think, that, my 'E' key might be broken. lol
That's a great compliment timtipgames. Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Great stuff. Steve can zen. Loved the deer...very funny!
Funny game
the game is fun. you should be able to do more than spamming the e button though. the fight are cool ;)
This was pretty fun/funny. Very clever in it's simplicity.
This is not the most engaging, or longest LD game ever. But it makes up for it with sheer fun and humor. Who doesn't like humping deer? ;D
Absolutely loved the humor of the game. Would have rated Audio and Mood higher if there was some appropriate zen-like music playing in the background though.
Yeahhh this is so cool!
Hahahhaa nice man! Congrats. I love the graphics (and the game). So, please, play and rate my game. When you visited the link was broken, now is fixed. Thank you.
Super nice seems so cool. Great play through.
Very nice. simple controls, and good humor :)
207275, my e key still works
I laughed out loud in sheer WTF-ness throughout this game. So bizarre. Great game, so glad I played it all the way through.

That was very amusing!!
Good use of game mechanics to convey story telling! I had a good laugh!
Nice game and quite funny too! I would have loved the ending to have been Steve passing out from blood loss but all in all I had a pretty good time playing this and loved what you did with the theme.
This is hillarious! Love it.
210250pts. Great stuff!
Our friend Steve is a commonly called demon...dont kill! no-zen at all in this game XD
so violent omg, but fun, an entertainment
Great take on the theme
Pros: Nice graphics!
Cons:
There is no greater enemy to the philosophy of Zen than nature. And pie.
Hilarious game, nice Lucasarts/Sierra-ish graphics, animation, writing and font :). Can't find a fault except my e-pressing arm is a bit sore. Good game!
As I killed the birds I really laughed. Such a strange change in the way the game felt up to that :D really enjoyed it.
Weird and hilarious little game. Nice retro feeling. Great job!
Poor Steve.
One of the best interpretations of the theme I've seen so far. Nice work! :)
Ah, some ultra-violent catharsis. The PERFECT remedy for all this minimalist cube wrangling!
Awesome work! Love the art style and I enjoyed punching that pie :D Very funny story, too! The sounds and controls felt like playing on an old Atari and I loved it :D
This game was really good, gave me an overall nice feeling. I mashed E like crazy too, haha
This was excellent. I never knew before how much I wanted to see a zen master fight a bunch of cute animals.
My arm hurts! nice entry :D!
Haha really fun and really funny. Hurt my arm pressing the button though, but on the funny bits it only made it funnier.
I liked the humour. Poor Steve, the entire forest try to distract him.
funny little strange game :)
Heh, the game is pretty funny, and the audio and visuals come well together. There was a bit too much button mashing for my tastes, but I know this is what you were going for.
Thanks for the game!
I had great fun playing this game!
That was the first game to literally make me laugh out loud. Brilliant.
:-D a bit strange but funny
I don't really know what I just played, but I loved it. Great job!
This is one of the funniest games I've found so far. Congratulations! :D
Sweet, bizarre, and worth completing!
nice entry! well done!
That escalated quickly! Great game, and cool timelapse!
Literally crying with laughter while playing it. The idea of a meditation-themed button masher really got to me. Ended up bullied by an invincible deer and had to give up.
Love the pixel art and animations! :D
I'm in love with the pixel art you made for this game! *_*
This has got to be one of my favorite things I have seen come out of this jam. 5 stars, all around! AWESOME work!!
What a ridiculously fun game. Solid humor and I liked the art too.
I love how I had no idea what was going to happen next. The low res pixel art is also very pretty.
Not sure if it was just the WebGL build, but key repeat made it very easy to meditate since no tapping was required.
Brillant! Just loved everything about this. Great art and humor.
Nice graphics, good theme and story. Nice touch with the graphics becoming lower res as he achieves zen :)
Very novel story, game well executed, but i don't know why i expected more. Very good work !
so funny perfect graphics great job :D
Ah, Nature is so relaxing sometimes.
Steve is in harmony with Nature.
oups.. Can't download...
Button smashing was a bit annoying, but great game. One of the few I gave something for humor, the only where I gave 5 stars :) "censored" made my laugh you, which was nasty since it made my ribs hurt :/
really cool game. Simple yet addictive.
Lol. Clever. Well matched to the theme and entertaining all around.
Still running it after two hours to see if anything else happens...
Fun and funny game. I finished it. Congratz!
Cool pixel art. Shame about my broken "e"
Very, very funny. I kept playing to see what would happen next and eventually achieved enlightenment. Love the art style.
Excellent :) Lots of fun and really funny :) The art is great, you did a lot of things in this game for a 48h entry!
Great job.
Hey this was pretty funny, especially the part with the birds. I can't imagine if this happened to people in real life.
very interesting :)
That was really fun. pretty hilarious too. Nice job, glad steve can zen.
Funny game. Steve charmed me ;)
This is like a weird wonderful hybrid of Leisure Suit Larry and God of War.
Fun, twisted game. I loved the way it played, but the fight sequences seemed a little long at times. Great humor. Graphics and audio matched nicely. Well done!
This game is just epic! A very nice use of the theme, and awesome way to tell the story. I enjoyed myself through the entire game (Though the amount of animals / time spent was a tad too much) All in all a very very good game!!
GENIUS!!!
This was amazing.
Hahahaha, very funny and cool game. It was completely unexpected.
I lol'd so hard while playing this. Pretty much a button masher, but oh man, sheesh, and with the deer, and...
took me some time to understand how to play it - but great game indeed!
the art style is consistent and pure 8-bit awesomeness
very well done :)
Hahaha. The funniest game so far. I liked that you can't really lose (or can you?)
Pretty amazing execution for 48 Hours. A lot went into this. It looks great. Can you actually lose though? It seems like enemies will bloody me up, but other than that, I just have to mash buttons.
Haha, cool idea, and pretty funny. The mob sections are a bit over-long, but other than that it's an entertaining little game!
Would have preferred two-handed controls, as moving and attacking simultaneously was awkward. Steve's animation reminded me of Little Computer People on the C64.
Haha' I almost broke my 'e' key. Good Job!
Ahaha very humorous story! I really liked how it felt like a game within a story. I think you could change the sound of meditating to a more peacefull sound, as it doesn't feel like it with that annoying sound when you press 'e'!!
Ahah I loved this game, great humor :D
ahah ...good stuff :)
Great humor, made me laught several times, hahaha. Strange concept and mechanics, and that's good :D
Really cute and nice storytelling. Why won't they just let Steve Zen?
funny game, i love the graphic style
This is absolutely hilarious, i waited until the end of the credits to read all the gags. Compliments!
Haha, loving this weird/funny games. Steve is the boss :)
Hilarious. I did kind of wonder what happened behind the censored sign.
Cool entry! I like the craftsmanship of the graphics and the way Steve's sprite changes over time. It's quite fitting of the theme, too, as much of the action is reduced to press (or rather, mash) the 'E' key. Although it doesn't seem to be the optimal choice for the action key when you use WASD to move around.
But the best part, by far, is the writing. The ending is funny as hell!
Not much gameplay in there, though, but a great one-time experience. And an awesome introduction to a character that I'd love to see in other games.
Best score: 207400
Congratulations!
Very nice game with cool ideas. The graphics are well done. The first time, the game crashed, when a bird landed on my head and I pressed Q...
This was really funny ^^
I like the storyline and over the top pixelated violence.
Very nice graphics. And game is a little bit... bloody? :)
Nice game.
Funny, varied and unexpected! Cool! The only thing is the meditation mechanic don't feel like really meditation because you're not calmly focusing but angryly mashing a button, but other than that, awesome and congratulations!
Game looks great. Had to laugh. Kills my 'E' key ;).
Hmmm... I'm not so sure why cruelty against animals is always concidered great fun at these LDs... :(
Steve would never hurt actual animals. These are but a manifestation of Steve's inner turmoil!
Yeah, I guess it's something like that, you're right! :) I don't know why I dislike cruelty against animals so much in videogames, as I don't really mind cruelty against people in videogames... Strange! XD
Time for a game where you beat up Steve for beating up animals!
Sick animal-beating action and hot deer on deer action, 10/10. Also, props on the creative ending.
Mashing a button to meditate interested me. If you continue to develop this, I was not sure how to leave the first screen.
That was weird.
I didn't like it too much, but I tend to feel that way about games which force me to have my character do things that I wouldn't want them to do...
The part with the -CENSORED- was pretty funny.
Good job!
Button mashing FTW! Lots of fun!
Liked how the dialog was interupted all the time.
That was amazing. Time's running out and this might be the last game I have a chance to rate before the voting deadline, and it was a great one to end it on!
Very, very high marks.
Also, I've vastly overestimated the gestation period of deer.
Great work!
5/5 across the board!
