I really liked the visual design! The music was simple but nice. Jumping did not feel as responsive as I normally like, though.

Loved the ending! Game was very solid.

I also liked the graphics and the music. The idea seems pretty nice too, not too quick but still fitting the theme. Along with jumping, the doctor's line of sight seemed to be too hard to avoid though, so I didn't really get that far.

That was a truly fantastic game. Not to hard, not to easy. Funny, fits the theme. Good art decent sound. Good job overall. :)

Excellent work. The only real complaint I'd have is that the jumps tended a little too much towards the pixel-perfect side for my tastes, but otherwise it's hard to fault.

this is a really awesome concept and you turned it into a awesome game.

Really really nice visual design. My only gripe is that the player takes a bit too long to accelerate. Nice work.

Haha the ending was cool! It was a fun game, loved the music, great job!

Really nice. I've always wanted to play Jeff Goldblumm in a game.

NOT NEARLY ENOUGH VOMITING FOR MY TASTES. AVOIDING DOCTORS/10

Really like the opening screen and the concept. The controls were a little messy. Specifically going up stairs with the up arrow I often held it just a little too long so I would end up back downstairs. After I finally figured out how to get past the doctor I almost got burned by this. It was a funny moment though. Well done.

The game won't run for me :_(
Any ideas on what could be the reason? (Win 7, x64)

bytegrove 2013-08-29 00:18

Ow, poor guy. :P Cool idea! The platforming mechanics felt a bit off and unforgiving though, and sometimes it was hard to know what you could and couldn't jump on. Pretty graphics and really nice colour schemes. And the animations are really smooth. Nice work!

theholychicken 2013-08-29 04:18

Haha, druggie adventure.
It's a little difficult to jump high enough, and the slow acceleration makes it a little less gamey than I would've liked.
Graphics are great, though!
Nice job!

Nice game and graphics. The jump is pain in the ass though.

rpmoura 2013-08-29 12:46

It's really well made, the only thing was the jumping mechanic was a bit off to me.

reyn 2013-08-30 11:27

Well done. Foreground and background is difficult to distinguish. Thanks

Solid entry, nice visuals. Not too fond of the audio volume mix and the jumping mechanism doesn't feel so great, and the game is a bit short. But it still works quite well, and the "check-point pills" are a sweet idea.

Man that guys is addicted to drugs!!

I can't get it to run on my Windows 7 SP1 machine. When I try to open it I get the waiting cursor for 1 second and then nothing happens. It's really too bad, as the screenshots look really promissing.

kibertoad 2013-08-30 13:39

jumping was painful, but good work with checkpoints. the art is clean and nicely done, but kinda lacked identity. great job with the stealth element.
made me remember an old friend who died from overdosing on clonazepam last year. and the nights spend together with my ex coming off heroin before her trip to prison. about a lot of nasty stuff from the old days, actually. I think I am going to get drunk tonight.

It's slightly too hard for me, but I must say it's wonderfully done!

paperblurt 2013-09-10 13:38

Love the graphics.. and for me then the game is halfway home!

haxpor 2013-09-16 19:27

I'm sorry, I can't get it to run on my windows 7 machine.
