Haha, That was fun! really strange... But fun!
Really nice effort for a first timer! One minor remark: it would be better if the music didn't restart every time the level restarts. Nice pun on flappy bird!
well that was a surprise, FUCK YOUR POTS hahahahhahahahaha
Wha...
I almost stopped playing after that Flappy Bird part, but i forced myself through it. I am kinda glad i did, i have to say.
Thank you! Please help spread the word. I know that the flappy bird part may turn people away, but that's where "Beneath The Surface" comes in! :D
@yetanother, thank you!
@Simon@LD, I hope you finished the game. The flappy bird part is only the beginning!
@rorycooke, so glad you enjoyed it!
@Lars Faust, Thank you for playing! So glad you enjoyed it!
Very strange, but work getting past the first bit! Well done
The Flappy Bird part is maybe too hard, I had to read the other comments to understand that there is more and force myself to see it.
But the rest of the game... Haha, that was fun! Great job!
Quite the twist. I enjoyed it. :)
That was really surprising turn of events! :)
Heh, lots packed in there for just one weekend. I can imagine a whole game playing out this way!
@littleball, Thank you!!!
@Nizar89, I'm realizing now that it wasn't easy enough. I tried to make it simple, but people seem to be having trouble. :\ I hope more people like you read the comments and get to the end!
@GamerTaters Awesome! Thanks! Haha.
@SFBTom Sweet! If it does well in the competition, I would love to actually "Continue" from the to be continued. I already know what would be next, actually. Please help spread the word! And thank you - it was a lot of work, but a ton of fun!
@Detocroix Thanks! I'm glad you made it to the end! Haha!
Love the way it keeps changing!
I was sad when it finished, hope you make more! :)
@jcvsmc Yaaaay! Thanks for finding out what was "beneath the surface" of this game! I hope I get a chance to!
Ah ah ! Fun.
What happens next ? I want to know.
Alright, here's what I think...
This game. I loved it! Seriously, make a full version, keep it similar to how it is, with the quick mini games and humour. I'd buy that, just for the lols.
@neekobus, thank you! Please keep spreading the word about the game. I will definitely keep working on it, if enough people want to play, and then you'll find out! The general answer is: plenty. The specific answer is: the next step is "alierms."
@aaronjbaptiste, Awesome! So nice of you to say. I hope enough people agree. This was a lot of fun to make - I had a blast, so I'd love to continue if people really want it! I also wish I had been able to finish it for the compo but I'm glad it was done in time for the jam. And that's exactly what I'd do - keep with the pace and the humor. Thanks!!!
Ahah really cool game !
good job (:
OMFG ITS BRILLIANT, SO MANY SURPRIZES! actually probably the funniest game I've played (ever), great job:)
That first section is addictive and challenging. You should package that as a stand-alone mobile game.
Great game! Very funny!
I loved the variety. It's great when devs pack so many scenes into their game in such a short time. Yours is especially good as you have different mechanics for each part.
I would love to see a continuation to this. Lots more scenes please! It reminds me a little of McPixel.
Great job! :)
Ahaha that was pretty fun.
So random, really funny. Too bad you weren't able to round it up within 48 hours, but I'm glad you took the time to finish it. The shooting part was a bit hard for me, but maybe I just suck at it
Wow a few more comments!
@BuKaneerz, Thanks!
@NicoM, That's such an insanely nice compliment! :D
@Andrew, But where would I find the time machine to release flappy bird? :)
@EpiphanyG, Thank you! It was a blast making this. I was pretty excited the whole time. And I'm hoping enough people want the full game. I'd be willing to work on it if I thought there was real interest! There would be a LOT more scenes. I hadn't played McPixel until today after reading your comment. I totally see the comparison! :D
@Zccc, Thank you!
@rvmook, It's a shame. A few things came up that prevented me and also since the game is actually more than meets the eye, it just took a bunch of time. The part you mention should probably be slowed down and there are a few minor tweaks I'd want to make to everything. It's definitely not perfect. :D Thanks for the compliment!
FUCK YOUR POTS lol! that was a really funny game.
@Dreii, Thanks! :D I appreciate you taking the time to check it out. And again, I think AHH LAVA! is a great idea. I'm glad you didn't bow out and kept going to achieve your goal! Also that Valentine's Day game you made (the video you have up) looks SO good!
Absolutely the best in humor for me :)
haha.. very funny :D
I can't stop laughing Hahahhaha WHATEVER MO REEEN
that was hilarious - not for kids - but dang fun - great job
That was really funny! really cool gameplay too!
Thank you v_n_j, rujo, InfectionTeam, and sPOCkEr2! I'll try to get to your games in a bit. I appreciate the kind words and I hope more people get a chance to enjoy/rate before the voting is over! :D
@sPOCkEr2, Definitely not for kids! Hahaha.
Thank you @BasselGaming! I'm glad you had a good time playing it! Please help spread the good word!
That was funny! And completely random. Nice job! Welcome!
I think this video describes the game pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGK8IC-bGnU
Gosh, that was funny. And while everybody keeps saying how "random" it is, the transitions are extremely well made and that's something you seldom see for this kind of game.
Great job! If I make one of my "best of" lists this time (and I plan to), this'll definitely get a place there :D
If only I could give more stars for innovation haha, this is the wackiest game I've played all LD(and that's saying something!) It was heaps of fun though, the FUCK YOUR POTS stage was hilarious. Games with lots of character like this are my favourites and I think you've got a knack for it, so keep it up!
Laughing so hard! Great entry.
Great idea! Glad that I kept playing after the initial impression. One of the most original games I've played in the jam. Hope to see the continuation one day. I'm curious to see how many game genres you can fit in there. :)
Can’t get past score 2. I’ve read there’s something after that… too bad :(.
@stqn, please keep trying. In the future I will eliminate the death ceiling, but if you can't make it past 3, I'd appreciate you not rating the game. The first part is really not what the game is about, though I understand if you found it too hard that it might affect my score. :\
Here is a video where you can see what happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuKC_foM-wo&feature=youtu.be
Though I really believe you'll enjoy the game more if you do it yourself.
Interesting little trip. Glad it wasn't just a flappy bird game!
Hey congrats on your first LD!
Funny game, which was enjoyable from start to end (except maybe for the shooting part: I ended up spamming hoping some shots would connect), with a few "wtf" moments, and a good sense of completness in the existing scenes (even if there was to few for my taste).
I am not sure if this is a good take on the theme though. Without the description I wouldn't understand, and with the explaination I'm just... not sure.
It looked a lot like a flappy bird remake to me, but I dont think I found the hidden things. I included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you want to check it out :) http://youtu.be/wBne0r55jPY
@Jacklehamster - Thanks! I'm glad you made it to the fun!
@PapyGaragos - Thanks. I think it fits the theme pretty well and creatively. I considered doing a cave game or underwater game but that's pretty basic to me - everyone did that. The next level of thought made me think about liars - lots of people did this too. So then I thought, what if the whole game wasn't what it seemed and you needed to get beneath the surface to enjoy it - and what if that were to continue throughout the game. You may disagree, but my game is also in the jam not in the comp, so I'm allowed plenty of leeway on theme. To me, I would've never made this game without the theme, but you may feel differently.
@Jupiter_Hadley - As I mentioned to you on Twitter (and in the description for the game) I really don't think people should judge the game if they didn't get past what amounts to the first 30 seconds. You just have to make it over or under the bird. Flappy is actually WAY harder than this. I'm sorry you didn't get the full experience, though.
Flappy Bird never made me angry. This made me angry XD I'm not docking points for that though! It was obviously the design intent.
I don't want to spoil anything, but there was a point at which I felt REALLY uncomfortable pressing the keys I needed to press >.>
This was an interesting game.
Hey shadow just read your comment about AHH LAVA! and that valentines game, thanks so much man! I diddnt think anyone would take the time to see that :) Followed you on twitter as well.
@Michael Grand - I'm really sorry to hear that. In future versions I plan to rework it because I don't want to keep people out of the experience, but I still don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. If you click once and then three times in succession it tends to work for me. I also think there needs to be SOMEthing that's a bit of a challenge because the rest of the game isn't.
Hahaha, sorry about the keypressing. :)
@Dreii - Oh, no problem! I really liked the look of it and I always read the full description of games I rate. It means I rate fewer games, but I'd rather be an "informed voter" than just trying to game my cool score to get more ratings, you know? To me this is the opportunity to learn and develop a community.
Hahahaha its so good!
I enjoyed it a lot. :D
@FrameMatt - Thank you so much! :D
Very clever and surprising :) I wanted more! Mooooooooooooore! I'm sure you're planning it already ;)
@Wertle Thank you so much! Currently, with all of the generous responses, I think I'm convinced that a full game would be supported. I'll be making an announcement soon enough - it'll be with the post mortem. :) Thank you for playing and commenting!
Totally baffling. I can't tell if you deserve the highest or lowest possible ranking, which means you probably deserve the highest.
@ThingoStudios - Thanks! (I think.) Hahaha. Seems like you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to playing Dr. Pepsi Marriage Consultant! :D
I love the ending.
@Crowbeak - Thanks! I had a fun time playing Read Between the Tropes! :)
Surprisingly cool game. Really loved what you've done beneath :)...
After the conversation, the game seemed to break. Tried twice, no buttons we're doing anything, pressing S does nothing, the 2 are standing there and there is an F on the screen, music is playing
@monsterkillu, Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'll be playing your game later today!
@DarkUser, I've messaged you on Twitter and I've updated the hints. You needed to press "F" when you saw that. I'm sorry that was unclear. :\ Looking forward to playing your entry!
Oh derp lol, just looked like it froze mid-text to me. Feel like starting your letter flicker before you press would sort that out but I might just be daft. Clever game anyway, enjoyed it
Really great game, this is the type of games I always look forward to in LD.
Humor is it's strength oviously, one of the few LD games that actually made me laugh.
The first part should be easier, so that the later content isn't locked away from people not being good at flappy bird.
But who am I to complain about difficulty in LD entries. :D
Good job!
The game changing between genres reminded me of my LD27 entry. But this was way funnier. I was almost crying laughing on the fuck your pots part.
@klianc09 - Thanks! :D I'm really glad that you enjoyed it and it was able to make you laugh! I've tried to tweak the opening gateway to make it slightly easier, but I've also decided I'm sort of okay with people being challenged out. My mom, who is NOT a gamer, beat it. If they can't do it - I don't know what to say to them. As you know, the game literally has no other gateway after that, so it's a balance that gives back I think. ;)
@pinkmonkeyhead - Awesome! I'll have to check out your LD27 entry. I wanted to change genres but also change POVs. There will be more of that in the extended version I'm planning. :) So glad you found it so funny. It makes me really happy anytime someone says that. Thank you!
