I'm really happy about this game
1) It's a 'simulator' that doesn't really fall into the goat sim territory of being drawn out and stupid for the sake of attracting lets players
2) the music is really well done
3) fun writing
I like the idea, and the presentation seems about right. I had some trouble getting into the game, though. Wasn't sure what I was supposed to do at the beginning, and I got killed by a dog.
Cute idea. Who am I to argue with Al Gore? Nice soundtrack as well.
LOVE KEY ADDED TO INVENTORY
(This game is pretty great. Slightly sad that the music stopped after I died and became a Dead Turtle.)
this was extrememly fun. i really liked the humor in the game. top notch
The gameplay is nothing revolutionary and it's a pretty surface-level interpretation of the theme. That being said, it more than makes up for it with its humor. Learning life lessons from a seagull with a self-help book and Art Garfunkel? Sure, why not!
I laughed the whole time. Really, REALLY funny game and I do not regret playing it in the slightest.
lol so funny
This game gives off a certain Frog Fractions vibe and I love it. The atmosphere conveyed through the dialogue and descriptions is subtle and hilarious.
After the Jellyfish let me through I think I got locked out of progression. I got the Love key, but I think I may have missed an item in the other building that I never entered.
What did I just play?
That was weird, but funny, but philosophical. Al Gore has the right of it!
There were a few minor glitches with music not restarting after you die, or the blue underwater filter disappearing. They were all pretty inconsequential.
My absolute favorite part about these competitions is discovering gems such as these. This is certainly a masterpiece of turtle simulation software that deserves a special place on my hard drive.
This is amazing.
Ahahha awesome game ! Everything is so well thought and funny, Tutorial Crab, nice name my good sir :P a real rebel and the pigeon king. Nice sound by the way hahaha :P I laughed a lot. Great work !
Beautiful work. A master piece of the ages for sure!
This is truly outstanding work for a game jam. Was the music actually created on a Gameboy?
Some things to note:
1. TCP786, the music was created with GBFont by MaliceX.
2. CharlieLove is probably gone, but the next item needed there is the Hate Key. It's attained by defeating all of the enemies in the Gallery (Body, Head, Face, and then Aphrodite). Probably shoulda signalled that easier.
3. tomhunt - the crab's dialog holds the (metaphorical) key to progressing
Really well done and very amusing.
This game is really good. It brought back some Gameboy nostalgia and the writing is good.
It's good game, but for me it's not mood.
Funniest game I've played so far :D Great job!
Absolutely loved it!
Oddly, playing this reminds me of Dante, facing philosophers in purgatory and finding Lucifer in the deepest lair.
Really enjoyed playing this.
In first i think it was a joke and... It's really nice, beautiful & good story. Good job !
Nice job! Lots of charm and witt! I wish I didn't die so much though, not without save states :)
Had me at "turtle simulator".
THIS GAME............... FULL MARKS
I knew I was in for something special and you delivered. Art Garfunkel and the art fights in the gallery really sold it. So unique, quirky, and amusing. Great job, everyone!
This was absolutely beautiful... I actually laughed twice during the game. I finished the game, absolute feels.
Good work y'all! Top 5!
I agree, why can't that fish just be a fish?
Anyways, amazing and funny game :D
This was amazing. I loved the story. Ohhhh maaaan, this is amzing. Oh man.
I like how it was made with Love.
I really want to play this game but it doesn't seem to run on my phone! (Galaxy nexus, jelly bean)
This game is meta!
This is an amazing adventure, and lengthy to boot. Genuinely funny dialogue. The Gameboy Color graphics style and audio put me off a little though, perhaps because it didn't always seem consistent.
Play my game again!!!
You had me at Art Garfunkel.
Oh, man... This game. This game is the winner.
