I had no idea what I was going for and doing but still finished the game.

snail_man 2013-12-16 04:09

Weird little game... made me think. The collisions/momentum were very dodgy though. Still, I played to the end. The graphical style reminded me of the old Peanuts comic strip.

lacutis 2013-12-16 04:32

Your game was interesting. The controls where really spongy which made me fall down the holes a lot.
Some of the sound effects became a bit repetitive as well.
I'm not sure if there is a way to "win" your game, or if any of the quizes have an outcome on the end.
On the plus side you completed a game! Congrats!

postmodestie 2013-12-16 04:36

Thanks to all for playing! The quizes influence the end result as you score higher and get a different evaluation in the end text.

endesga 2013-12-16 05:09

Interesting little game :)
Very nice!

norwigi 2013-12-16 15:04

Why, of course I am a genius. How very nice of you to point that out, Mr. Game :-P
I agree with Snail_Man. Dodgy, but enjoyable.

norwigi 2013-12-16 15:06

Oh, and the Europe question? That was spot on :-P 3AM and work on Monday is not a good combo.

gmfk07 2013-12-16 20:00

Your first thought of this game may be that it is weird - but life is probably still weirder than this. If anything, it's an amazing little experiment. Text goes off the screen a few times, though.

danman9914 2013-12-16 21:25

The platforming controls are very shaky and I wasn't sure if the questions had right answers and how they affected the platforming sections. The graphics are unique and well done though.

latfoued 2013-12-16 21:57

The controls are pretty weird and also the sounds, didn't know what i was doind xD.

smash-ball 2013-12-17 20:57

Well I had no clue what I was doing. However, it was fun in a weird way. The rest of what I want to say has already been said.

atomicvikings 2013-12-17 21:51

haha first i was shockt from the audio, but then this guy makes : "dum dudu dum dududuu~ " I need to laugh so madly haha
And this kitten is so cute. But the jumping noises are afraiting me so much! SO MUCH! Thank you for sharing this game :)

lilinx 2013-12-17 21:54

Years instead of HP is a great idea.
"You loose one year". Wow.

binary_girl 2013-12-17 22:01

i dont know if i was getting heavier the more i played or what.. gravity seemed to push down alot more heh.. good job :)

mase 2013-12-17 22:07

Interesting method of delivering text content. Platforming segments often seemed unfair (those boulders!) but still within acceptable limits of playability.

Some of the questions/answers seemed maybe a bit preachy. . .

norgg 2013-12-17 22:08

Surreal! My first impression was annoyance at the movement, but the floaty platforming, the odd characters and the strange sounds actually kind of work together. The questions all being your own personal moral dilemmas at participating in Ludum Dare match my own thoughts, especially because I've just recovered from a bad post-LD migraine.

dudsen 2013-12-17 22:15

Hey, the game suggested that I should be a teacher! Haha, what a horrible idea that would be! But I like the evaluation of the choices. The audio supports the feeling of the game pretty well. The jumping sound annoyed me after a while though and some answers are packed into a bit to much text for my taste. The blurry text in the beginning could be sharper by having a bigger font size, scaled down for your needs. Just my 2 cents, because I think its better to give some input for improvements.
Nevertheless, your wifes voice is charming :D

The style reminds me a bit of charlie brown. In a very light speed walk-ish year-consuming way ;P

Cool stuff, hope it was a good LD experience!

toureiro 2013-12-17 22:57

Pretty surreal. I especially liked, nay - loved, the sound effects.

derosa 2013-12-17 23:54

I found very annoying to be killed while answering a question! Also, I didn't really know what I was doing, but I played it till the end :)

lissar 2013-12-18 09:51

I always appreciate voiced sound effects!

nicotr014 2013-12-18 10:37

I uh... have no idea what's going on. Cool nonetheless

joserodolfofreitas 2013-12-18 10:41

The idea is interesting, and the audio e draws were nice.
But the jumping was weird, although I suspect that you wanted to have a surreal jump like that, soh that's fine.

veiadoida 2013-12-18 20:41

Love the Peanut style, but i was struggling with the controls haha. Anyway, nice.

joe40001 2013-12-18 21:27

It's funny the things that always suffer in my games is the art, because I'm terrible at art. Your art is really really good, in all honesty though the rest of it is clunky. Keep at it though, I'm jealous of your art.

triplevisiongames 2013-12-18 21:34

The controls were a bit awkward but I like what you've done with this. Nice and thoughtful to play through though

yapshuter63 2013-12-18 21:45

Cool, a little strange.

thatguy 2013-12-18 23:06

Strange but interesting game. Needs some work, such as people spawning in the ground). Cool concept though, good job!

georgebroussard 2013-12-19 01:56

Nice effort for 48hr. The movement/jumping physics need some work and polish. Loved the sound effects :)

javifugitivo 2013-12-19 05:16

Great sounds! Seriously! :D

funselektor 2013-12-19 08:38

The hand-drawn art was really unique, haven't seen it in this gamejam yet. I wish the story had more to do with the levels, it was a little confusing.

paperblurt 2013-12-19 09:34

It looks like Charlie Brown!

catonmars 2013-12-19 10:18

The main goal of this game is quite confusing, but overall nice platformer adventure. I like the sound effects lol

glovecat 2013-12-19 11:09

It's a little confusing and controls are pretty awkward at first, but it's funny and I love the sounds effects!!! :D

coblynau 2013-12-19 19:46

Interesting idea :)

william_edwards 2013-12-19 20:04

What would be interesting is to take all the question answers and do some collaborative filtering and work out different archetypes in post-mortem right-up.

Of course, I answered fairly randomly just to mess that up if you do it. This is why on the internet you can't have nice things ;)

background_nose 2013-12-20 00:58

I'm not really sure... what. The jumping handled weird. Nice sound, but The wife thing was a bit... sickly sweet...

xanjos 2013-12-20 00:58

Never really did get the objective of the game and jumping was a bit funny but I absolutely loved the art style.

venks 2013-12-20 08:11

Very unique art style. The game is odd, but is also very interesting.

yosh 2013-12-20 08:25

Dat sounds effects :)
It's always great to have games with assets entirely made from scratch. It's making everything more authentic and fun.

"Que sera sera" -> "Qui vivra, verra" ?

frogcheese 2013-12-20 18:49

I had a lot of trouble wrestling with the controls. I probably spent half of all those years injured ;P Still, a good effort and the quizzes were pretty fun with some really weird answers.

netmute 2013-12-20 19:23

What the... I don't even...

I dig the hand-drawn art, but I have no idea whats going on :)

zkenshin 2013-12-21 01:05

The controls for movement were quite loose whereas the jumping was a bit heavy.

techblogogy 2013-12-21 13:35

Finished it, but it was quite confusing.

van-noctar 2013-12-21 17:40

I not understanding the rules...

diptoman 2013-12-22 07:50

Strangely intriguing. Though this needed more work, the monochrome lines and the sfx made the atmosphere really great.

somepx 2013-12-22 09:28

Somehow reminds me of 'Peanuts'. B/W is an interesting choice, original sounds... weird and fun

jamiedoughty 2013-12-22 10:45

I love your style. Was compelled to keep playing till the end.

bitserum 2013-12-22 14:40

This was a weird experience (in a good sort of way), the controls were damn awfull, but I guess that sort of illustrates how life is mutable and hard to navigate. So I guess it's good? I don't know, I just know I liked it.

matx 2013-12-23 17:50

The platforming controls really need to be better :) I could not finish the game, I was too frustrated by the controls of the game.

badlydrawnrod 2013-12-24 11:33

Philosophical.

olafsworld98 2013-12-25 05:26

graphics sucky, jumo=ping to then slam to the ground, sucky, no idea what to do, sucky, ill still give an overall, congrats on posting your game at least

local-minimum 2013-12-27 20:54

I found the controls really hard to handle, or rather the controls in combination with the physics on the main character. Some of the answers were partially outside the visible area in the web player. Sound effects were really nice though.

michail 2013-12-28 15:01

I've played to the end, but I had no idea what I am doing most of the time. Probably just not my kind of game.

th3dz 2013-12-28 22:10

wat...

ayame9joe 2013-12-30 10:09

Perhaps nice idea, but need polishing.

bradleysmith 2013-12-30 18:22

Interesting take on the theme.

hardgrafter 2014-01-01 22:21

Strange but good game!

gameproducer 2014-01-02 20:52

Whadda heck did I just play! :D

Audio was nice (although bit repetitive) and well... controls were bit dodgy.

stmatn 2014-01-02 23:16

Thats a nice game!
The movement is a bit quirky and the game could use some kind of story/goal, but the graphics are nice and the questions are funny ;)
Nice work!

cappelnord 2014-01-03 13:43

That was weird. If the controls were better I could say weird is good, but that way it was kind of akward. I did enjoy the questions though, but Answers were quite long.

alexfili 2014-01-04 10:49

Hah this is pretty fun. Great graphics and interesting plot. I liked it a lot.

sebastian 2014-01-04 14:23

"Your wisdom is deep and your spirit light". Sounds like me haha ;)
Interesting game, I had some overlapping text with the carrying books question, and more grammar/spelling mistakes than I care to count, but I thought it was a pretty cool experience overall. Very wacky, but very intriguing!

ashen 2014-01-06 01:55

Probably the most "interesting" sound effects for a game this compo. Platforming controls were a bit awkward in places but the multiple choice questions added a lot of originality.

christinaneofotistou 2014-01-06 23:42

Lovely art! very weird and very cool!
