doh, no windows machine, but looks really neat!

vikinggames 2013-12-16 21:29

@mcapraro Aw man, I'm sorry... :(
I was originally going to export it to java so that everyone can play it, but it didn't work quite right... :(

I just play and it is very good idea. I love the graphics style gameboy. A little hard for me

teddy 2013-12-16 21:32

audio is great, game is fun. maybe make the camera move smoothly with the character instead of jump around. Thanks!

I really like this game!
The graphics are cute,
it really goes well with the theme,
the music is nice,
and most important, it is very fun.
It seemed like collision detection was a wee bit buggy,
but otherwise it seemed very well put together! Good job!

Awesome, clever use of the mechanic, and I love the game boy style graphics. Great work!

zconnelly13 2013-12-16 21:47

Wow this game was so hard! But I liked it anyway and the main character is adorable.

ltpats 2013-12-16 22:10

Digging the MIDI stuff, the game was tough but the concept was really cool!

vikinggames 2013-12-16 22:11

@TeddyNashor It does that on purpose. If you want a good camera, choose Improved Camera at the start! ;)

vikinggames 2013-12-16 22:12

@minibutmany Whoa, you liked the music?? I threw it together at the last minute with a random generator, and almost scrapped it. XD

vikinggames 2013-12-16 22:12

Wow, more people are loving the music. That... is a very pleasant surprise.

thevideogamemechanic 2013-12-16 22:29

Oh! Really nice take on the theme. It's a really cleaver game! Nice graphic style..

vikinggames 2013-12-16 22:32

Fun Fact: This was originally going to be an RPG Maker mystery where you're trapped in a mansion with a murderer. You'd have to figure out who the murderer was and kill him/her, all with one single bullet on hand. Who knows, maybe I'll use this idea for another game later on! ;D

ocmu 2013-12-16 22:35

Very nice game. Maybe the running speed is a little fast, but the concept is great!

derdragon 2013-12-16 22:48

This is... way beyond my ability. It's saying something to even HAVE music in one of these things. Nice take on the theme... I was considering doing something sort of like this actually, but had no idea where to start... Great job!

huntthewumpus 2013-12-17 00:53

Liked it very much. Great art style and sound/music. And very fluent controls. Also a great way to interpret the theme. You want to play it again and again.

zekyon 2013-12-17 00:55

Nice graphics, good audio, funny, hard.... Really good game, I love it!

skysthelimit 2013-12-17 01:21

Now that was a blast from the past. Really clever use of the theme! You need to be an old git like me to really appreciate how inventive this is.

stefan 2013-12-17 21:00

This is a nice approach to the theme. Graphics and audio are also great. All in all, your game seems very polished, you even had time for an easter egg =) Good job!

ryangatts 2013-12-18 01:16

My goodness this game is difficult. I find myself really wanting a way of quickly retrying with my previous choice, as soon as I die (maybe a "press space to retry" sort of option on the game over screen).

javifugitivo 2013-12-18 01:16

Music generator? Seriously? Have four stars on audio! Lucky guys! grat sounds! Muahahaha! Nice game!

vikinggames 2013-12-18 01:24

@ryangatts Alright, I'll keep that in mind for future games. Thank you!

tacospice 2013-12-18 02:28

The intro is great! Game really needs variable jump height (ie depends on how long you hold the button) for a better platformer feel I think.

I like the application of the theme, in that you get to choose your own "only one" rather than it being static. I think the improved camera is my favorite, drives me crazy without it.

It's a pretty cool game though. The graphical style is nice too.

I give it 4/5!

managore 2013-12-18 03:16

That wrecking ball! I hate it!

Everything else though is wonderful! Easily one of the best use of theme yet.

vikinggames 2013-12-18 21:34

@Managore I'm sure there's at least one Wrecking Ball we hate a whole lot more ;)

clavus 2014-01-02 20:49

Bit hard, so I didn't get till the end, but the concept is pretty nice. Although having a "better camera" as an option seems kinda harsh.

bradleysmith 2014-01-04 17:07

Gorgeous pixel art.

rodroy1 2014-01-06 02:05

fun idea and i love the gameboy like graphics. verry hard but thats fine, challange is fun. range of obsticals is great and music and sound effects are nice. Great marioesk game.

ashedragon 2014-01-06 17:40

A bit difficult, but still very enjoyable.

nicealexanderas 2014-01-06 17:44

MAAAANNNNN LOVED THE GAME! :D VERY FUN!!!! AWESOME GRAPHICS :D NICE LITTLE STORY! XD i SCREAM BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO DIE hahahahaha GREAT WORK! :D

hirsch 2014-01-06 18:31

Really nice game, works with wine (except the music). One thing that was a bit disadvantageous is the [z] key to shoot (german keyboard layout) - beside of this the game is really fun to play! Good work :)
+ The sounds were really nice

xanjos 2014-01-06 21:30

Enjoyed this game a lot. Loved the gameboy style graphics and I really liked how each choice you pick is like a different challenge.
