That was something new.
played it a second time but muted the game, it's just not the same...

anton_d 2013-08-25 18:46

Nice game! Those messages about the sound were pretty funny :)

pebsie 2013-08-25 20:44

Wow really nice idea.
Real original, well implemented, etc.
I like :)

noom 2013-08-26 22:52

Neat little concept, the music wasn't THAT bad really hahahaha.

xotraz 2013-08-26 23:06

It's really original !!

Nice work.

ninja 2013-08-26 23:07

Nice, that's a pretty cool idea for the theme!

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-26 23:12

I really like this game loads! If only Fraps would let me record it to be in the compilation video :/

luzfish_4 2013-08-26 23:13

I'm glad it wasn't frantic. For some reason in the inflating game, when I had killed most of the enemies, the remaining ones moved very quickly. Is it supposed to do that?

bipolarmike 2013-08-26 23:34

Thanks for all the nice comments!! I wasn't expecting people to enjoy the idea so much :D

@Jupiter_Hadley Oh! I updated it to be Fraps compatible, download the 1.2 version from my original download link :)

@lulzfish_4 Yeah, but it wasn't supposed to be as drastic a change in speed as it turned out to be.

Woah, wasn't expecting that to be as good as it was. Really liked the concept and you executed it well, even enjoyed the silly asides about the music. Nice!

feysoura 2013-08-27 00:18

Liked it. It's best played without knowing what will happen. I laughed when it said "oh look, the game changed!", and for that, I award you a 4/5 on humor.

psychomonster 2013-08-27 00:20

Nice changes... that is a really good Idea!

Simple and fun, also very interesting because its like playing the same thing 4 different ways :D cool bro!

vile-smile 2013-08-27 01:58

Very cool! It was fun playing and I liked the transitions. One of a kind!

tork 2013-08-27 02:31

M should unmute too, I clicked it after I saw 3 lines of that.
From the game, it's a nice idea but since you made so many games you didn't polish any

lekochen 2013-08-27 02:34

Very good concept!

lizengland 2013-08-27 02:35

Clever! Considering your screenshot, there's definitely more than meets the eye here. Serves me right for never reading descriptions.

theholychicken 2013-08-27 02:36

*has power trip* XD!!!!
This must have been the funniest game I played today!
(I'm rating your audio 5/5 btw)

whiteravens 2013-08-27 02:41

I like the switching of mechanics :). Think of a great way to repackage the game, and it will be huge.

bushmango3 2013-08-27 03:10

I like your humor, sir.

joxno 2013-08-27 17:25

Really nice concept, completely caught me off-guard when it switched up the game-play, awesome

dew 2013-08-27 19:22

Very original! If you feel tired caffeine is the best solution :P

almax27 2013-08-27 19:41

at first I was like "well that's just space invader..." then I was like "What?!", awesome idea.(Yeah sorry I didn't read the description I just wanted to play :p)

lokarunith 2013-08-27 19:45

When the screen moved by itself, it creeped my out. Nice concept, it's good to see somemthing different.

pixel_3 2013-08-28 03:53

I enjoyed this game thoroughly. Switching between arcade games was a little unexpected (despite the title) but a joy. Might suggest though that you add a score system and make it endless. Feels more like an arcade that way IMO.

I very much enjoyed the transitions (and implementing the theme too) from mode to mode. I remember wanting to make a game exactly like this last year for the evolution theme, but wanting to transition keep up -> arkanoid -> scrolling shooter (shmup). I am glad to see another creator thinking along the same lines.

The art was the weakest aspect of this game, but the smooth and unique game play more than make up for it.

bipolarmike 2013-08-28 13:19

Thanks everyone! I promise to rate every game of anyone who comments :-) If I haven't gotten to you yet, I will in the next day or two!

nddrylliog 2013-08-28 20:42

Joke's on ya, I didn't mute :D

hbocao 2013-08-29 03:31

THE MUSIC SUCKS! Hahaha I was enjoying it. Until the game plead me to mute it. Cool use of the theme and it was very funny!

bassarisse 2013-08-29 05:16

My score was 223! Haha, nice game!

ratalaika 2013-08-29 16:45

good job

mventurelli 2013-08-30 00:40

Hahah this made my day, thank you! My score = 79

zaratustra 2013-08-30 21:46

best audio of the competition

oajfh 2013-08-30 23:45

Heh, nice concept and it's very funny seeing all those comments. Did you purposefully add music you thought was bad so as to add those comments or did you add them when you noticed it wasn't to your liking ?

d__adee 2013-08-31 15:45

BEST AUDIO! HAHA!
So where's my $1,000,000?

Pretty neat, short, and I like the variety!

I wonder if there's an end of you whining on that game. Must play again!

haha!
xD

bipolarmike 2013-08-31 22:43

@oajfh: I actually made the music in ten minutes just messing around with Terry Cavanagh's new music maker Bosca Ceoil, not intending to put it in the game. A few hours later, I figured why the heck not, I'll stick it in the game. I put the "press M to mute" message in, and that's when random stupid inspiration struck! XD

gamepopper 2013-09-04 22:04

Good game. Something new and clever. Especially made funnier when the text was self aware about the music.

hissssssssss 2013-09-08 10:16

My score: 264!

The base game was pretty cool. The extra bits you made...well, I'm glad to see somebody playing around with meta elements a bit!
