Couldn't play it, unfortunately Win7 64bit doesn't tell me what is missing...

Nice concept, fun to play, but the key detection on the second level was annoying, I found myself pressing buttons and not moving a lot.

Really nice pixel art. :)

This game made me smile. I really, really enjoyed it (other than the key level movement being funny) I found the zombie going back to old styled games cool and unique. I loved it. I featured it in my comilation video of Ludum Dare 27 Games, if you wanna check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1UJ96l2scE

Really funny game idea. Too bad you only were able to complete two levels. I was looking forward to play more levels. Perhaps in a post-compo version? :D

Controls on second level are really frustrating. Nice graphics, though.

An interesting, and very ambitious, idea but needs a little more polish. The platforming is a bit off and as you know the 2nd level has input issues.

Unless I am very much mistaken the Zelda sprites seems to been taken from the real games. Try to make your own graphics next time instead of using copyrighted sprites. This may be a jam entry but it's always better to make your own. :)

Look forward to your next LD game.

Well presented, the minigames are a nice idea. The game just needs more levels and a couple less bugs :-)

A fun play :) a pity that Lars did not have more levels to play through, and good work on the theme and graphics!

jprogman 2013-08-29 21:27

I like the variety that this game have, even if I chuckled at the two spoofs. :)

necmelt2006 2013-08-31 19:53

Nice idea, you need to tweak the controls (perhaps making them like the titles references) also give more personnality to Lars (graphically?) and univer(s) (introduce blood? i don't know ^^) this just to make the game unique :)

Collisions are really weird on the top down level but I did like the pixel art on that level

Lars is the best name on a main character yet in LD27!

Fun, short little game. Controls in the second stage were extremely frustrating, I thought I was getting caught on the scenery (but I guess you know that already)

toadpud 2013-09-01 15:39

I liked it, but it seemed very short. You should definitely make more levels in a post-compo version! Also, the movement in level 2 was extremely bugged.

I feel the 10 seconds thing was a bit too fast to complete the level, maybe could gain a few seconds with the Mushroom or something?

jedi 2013-09-03 02:17

This game looks really cute! I love how well you recreated the look and feel of both mario and zelda. Unfortunately, the game crashes for me every time a chicken touches me in level 2 :(

zconnelly13 2013-09-03 19:32

loved it, would love to see the rest + bugfixes!

kirbytails7 2013-09-04 01:09

Definitely a good plan for the theme. Too bad there wasn't time for more content.

muciojadpl 2013-09-04 16:21

Good game, level 2 is some irritating, but overall is quite good. Nice graphic :)

mrbenjaminbowman 2013-09-04 17:23

Overall, pretty cool :D (Wish there was more levels, it looked fun :P)

taiters 2013-09-04 17:52

Cool game, well done. Though the controls on the second level don't seem to work well.

Love the nostalgia feel
