My computer said that the file was damaged and unreadable, might just be my machine though.

theholychicken 2013-08-27 08:29

Oh whaaaat... the baby is flying though the air along with the lower half of my wife..
The game had me hooked the moment he started moonwalking to the closet.

flamecow 2013-08-27 16:00

Pretty fun game. Insanely good art style, too.

immanuela 2013-08-27 16:05

I've been looking forward to playing your game after your blog post about it. The graphics are amazing! I love the bus scene too, very reminiscent of London! What happened to the wife? Did I cut her in half?

karsyf 2013-08-27 16:10

I am not really sure what is going on, but I know I enjoyed it =D

xk 2013-08-27 16:27

Too bad its not really finished, your art is absolutely awesome! I would trade my stupid coding skills to be able to draw like that! Good job for your first game, keep it up!

wine 2013-08-27 16:28

Even in this unfinished form it's very nice work! Look forward to update

jimanzium 2013-08-27 17:02

Very nice looking, but it's a bit bugged at the end. Still, was awesome to play and I hope you finish it!

ianmartin 2013-08-28 04:55

Kept getting killed without knowing why? I guess I was too slow? I like the consistent graphic style :)

jhollands 2013-08-28 12:25

@blupsy: no idea why that's happening sorry. Redownload perhaps

@theholychicken: haha yeah the bottom of the wife thing is a bug - no idea why it exists. Thanks though!

jhollands 2013-08-28 12:28

@immanuela: How did you know that it's London?! Glad you noticed ha. No the wife getting cut in half was a bug - your first-born was just meant to float away to space and perhaps become the fella from 2001? I don't know. Not like I'm the dev or anything :L.

@Zer0Kelvin: Yeah I guess that I should have communicated the dying after 10 seconds thing a little better!

About an update: not 100% it'll happen - I'll see if I can find the time!

gsmproductions 2013-08-28 12:37

A-we-so-me :D This game was great, art style was a bit McPixel-ish, as was the random humour/death/actions. And that ending... Very well done, good sir!

GreyShock 2013-08-28 12:46

Very good art and weird ending haha Nice work!

ezolotko 2013-08-28 12:46

Great graphics

pereubu 2013-08-28 13:02

omfg I just love this game in every aspects :
- great pixel art
- awesome and immersive gameplay
- awesome animations

love <3
PS : the bugs I got playing it were awesomely funny too

klianc09 2013-08-28 14:22

I'm not sure what was going on, but I liked every second of it. (Except always having to restart from the beginning, but it wasn't that long anyways.) Too bad there was no audio.

deepnight 2013-08-28 16:15

Really funny game :) I totally loved the moonwalk idea.

loxo 2013-08-28 16:46

Fun to play game with great graphics. After a few deaths the game slowed down and I had to restart.

minionstudios 2013-08-28 16:46

Hilarious and clever. love the moonwalk

jhollands 2013-08-28 16:52

@loxo: Wasn't aware of that issue! Thanks.

zatyka 2013-08-28 17:14

Dude, that was awesome. Great art, and very funny. One of my favorites... I just wish it was longer.

esayitch 2013-08-28 17:33

Very very stylish game :P

psychomonster 2013-08-28 20:56

This is nice... Donnie Darko like beginning :D

psychomonster 2013-08-28 20:57

This is nice... Donnie Darko like beginning, with scrubs flavor :D

raggy 2013-08-28 21:18

Your first game? A sterling effort, chap! Excellent job on the visuals.

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-28 22:27

Very good art :D

almightyzentaco 2013-08-29 00:26

Loved the art style. Very excellent.

naufr4g0 2013-08-29 00:41

Awesome pixel-art. I love it! :)
Really fun, too! :)

lightmarestudio 2013-08-29 07:19

Great game, but very difficult! :)

peace 2013-08-29 07:39

Nice Graphic a humorous! ;)

rxi 2013-08-29 10:35

Really nice visuals!

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-29 13:04

It has a cat! 5 STARS GOTY

Seriously, this is great. The first room had me in shambles, with the timing, the moonwalk, and the sudden death :D

Amazing work!

almax27 2013-08-29 18:22

Awesome game, loved the Zak McKrakken feels. Only thing that stood out for me was the font choice. It was cool graphic design studio, where the art was quirky pixelart. But that's just be being weird. :)

\o/

jhollands 2013-08-29 18:45

@Almax27: Totally agreed - terrible choice of typeface. It's something that I really wanted to pay attention to, but with the limited time just had to slap on there last minute.

brassawiking 2013-08-30 17:39

Awesome pixel art and animation! Impressive that you manage to make all that art within 48 hours.

jhollands 2013-08-30 18:09

@Brassawiking: Thanks! Was doing the Jam though - 72 hours.

diogomuller 2013-08-31 15:54

Very nice work! :) I really like this game's humor.

otus 2013-08-31 19:47

The graphics and animations are great!

I absolutely love the premise too! But I wish the game had a quick rset button, starting over and over again can get tiring.

Nice job!

codexus 2013-08-31 20:48

Nice but I couldn't get passed the second screen and it takes too much time to retry. Good art though.

jhollands 2013-09-01 01:56

@blackotus & Codexus as mentioned, hit F3 to skip the first level.

mlinus 2013-09-01 22:27

Really nice graphics. :) Unfortunately I didn't get very far so I didn't see much of it. But well done, especially the gfx. :)

seconddimension 2013-09-06 20:48

Wasn't sure where the baby went at the end but really enjoyed it. Looked great and always enjoy a Donnie Darko reference.

lordjosephdeburg 2013-09-15 01:25

interesting game, I really like the pixel art style
