GOTY 2017

Fan-bloody-tastic! Great played as a two player co-op game, although my wife and I kept ending up divorced, although eventually she called me a magnificent beast. Splitting up has never been so much fun.

2014-08-25 10:48

all in all its a good game for getting tantrums :D

w84death 2014-08-25 19:15

You have the humor factor maxed out here :)

leafthief 2014-08-25 19:17

Wow that was so great!
I absolutely loved the setup and presentation. The audio was probably the best part.
The intro sequences are just gorgeous.

Honestly, I didn't make it through the restaurant. I tried but ended up getting divorced. This might be one of the very VERY few things I'd love to see improved: difficulty.

Great entry!

kyru 2014-08-25 19:18

Fantastic game, made me think of Octodad a bit which is a good thing.

elemel 2014-08-25 19:23

Fun and frustrating, just like marriage!

43iscoding 2014-08-25 19:26

THIS GAME IS FREAKING AWESOME xD
I played it with my wife as intended and it was really awesome ;D
Its like double bonding exercise! Bondception!

Hat's off to thou, good sir ^^

43iscoding 2014-08-25 19:27

And, yeah, I'm looking towards more levels!

acerunox 2014-08-25 19:31

Funny game! Great voice acting 10/10.

kadybat 2014-08-25 19:38

Really fun and quite funny! It's rather challenging, but super charming and I'd recommend it. I haven't beaten it yet, either!

jupiter_hadley 2014-08-26 02:14

So. Fucken. Funny. I included it in part 6 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/v1uehyKcvFY

2014-08-26 07:19

This. Is. Epic. You, magnificent beast!

lorniebear 2014-08-26 14:28

I absoloutely love it! I played this with my mum and we got divorced fairly quickly. It's actually fun to knock over the furniture...

roguenoodle 2014-08-26 20:09

Genius.

inateno 2014-08-29 11:41

I'll laugh all the day thank you. Awesome idea

mrexcessive 2014-08-29 18:11

Hi there. That restaurant! Great look and feel and physics. Love the voice artistry! Mumblerama. Good job!

ruerob 2014-08-29 20:59

What a great gameplay. I love it. Really really big thank you. And your voice acting is incredib, too, like last LD.

artamus 2014-08-29 23:15

So funny, thank you!

wdebowicz 2014-08-30 00:16

Oh we just saved our marriage! Brilliant idea!

yword 2014-08-31 03:32

Very unique and interesting idea! The overall mood is quite good and funny. Well done!

runvs 2014-08-31 08:47

Great Entry! the intro scene and the audio really made me laugh. Controls are a bit washy and it was really hard to manage the first levels.

sbarrio 2014-08-31 08:56

This game is awesome. Loved the dialogue and the idea. It also took me a while to beat the level without divorcing (GTA style :P).

Superb entry, great work!

jjhaggar 2014-08-31 10:16

I couldn't even beat the 1st level, maybe because I was laughing most of the time XD Great game! :D

veryfinestlions 2014-08-31 11:52

Took me a while to figure out how the directions worked, but this was hilarious. Hope you do continue it!

commodorekid 2014-08-31 14:13

I could get through the restaurant after my 86395592457th try and it wasn't that hard y'know :P I think difficulty is a problem and controls are another. Because I discovered later that you go top-left direction when you push up (I guess it was like that) I would expect to go up when I push up tbh. Good humor and fine graphics.

kibertoad 2014-08-31 14:54

Ahahahahaha, that was great.

hadesfury 2014-08-31 16:32

Great game :D the command does not seem to answer well during my session but it could be me

sunflower 2014-08-31 18:00

Oh, hello, my old arch-nemesis, so displeased to see you again... *said me to isometric view*
Really, I'm pretty sure large part of the difficulty in this game comes from the perspective; it took me a few really careful attempts.

Aside from that, it looks pretty interesting and humour is strong within this game... but difficulty. That difficulty. And, even more so, perspective. >.<

Bonus points for taking the theme to its hilariously literal extreme, though.

pierrec 2014-08-31 20:07

We played in coop with my girlfriend and didn't manage to save our mariage. We laughed and argued, that was really fun! One of my favorite in this LD. So many stars!

esenti 2014-08-31 21:55

Nice game, but I've found the controls to be quite confusing.

parahunter 2014-09-01 11:49

I'm a magnificent beast! Loved this entry. To start with I think it was a bit too hard but when I discovered there was only one level I understood why you had made it that challenging.

spotco 2014-09-01 22:10

Really frustrating controls playing solo, but table for one always feels pretty bad :(

snoother 2014-09-03 21:43

Okay, that was stupidly fun. Always ended in divorce though. It's probably for the best. Love the clumsiness of the controls.

klianc09 2014-09-03 21:59

Octodad just with planets instead of an octopus? COUNT ME IN!
Really great work on the visuals, the dialogue and the controls. Even playing alone it's an unforgetable experience :)
I even forgive you the missing music, because of good sound effects.

erkberg 2014-09-03 22:18

5/5 humor, that was hilarious! First game I played that made me laugh out loud.

sephyka 2014-09-04 15:18

My god, this is fucking good and hilarious.
Great staging.
Ahahah, it's very goood.

simonchauvin 2014-09-04 15:48

This is the next Octodad! It's really cool to play and I laughed so hard. Well done! My favorite so far :)

amour-maternel 2014-09-04 16:03

Veri good idea, original and well made. It's very funny and i like your "staging" and the camera effects you used during the dialogs. Humor is too often limited to a written joke. First Ld game which make me laugh.

xrubbermaid 2014-09-04 16:44

Loved it, but I'd have preferred if damaging things wasn't penalised - it's too tempting!

jod 2014-09-04 20:52

That's extremely witty. Well done. :)

joror 2014-09-04 20:53

Too funny. Love the voices. Game a bit too hard. But still tried multiple times because I hoped there would be more voices. Alas. Good fun tho! :)

snicklodocus 2014-09-04 21:33

Haha this was great. Loved the voices. It's very difficult but I almost made it! I think some awkward music would really tie it all together. Good job!

praetor57 2014-09-05 03:17

A++ would divorce again.

kill0u 2014-09-05 22:44

Best game ever to play as a couple :D
We had so much trouble, but we did it!

jahmaican 2014-09-06 09:17

Erm... I destroyed the restaurant and got divorced almost immediately. It was hilarious and please tell me what kind of drugs are you on.

bluemaroo3 2014-09-07 23:47

Loved this game. It had me laughing out loud. I want to play more levels!! :D Now going to force my husband to play it with me :) Brilliant stuff.

maniulo 2014-09-09 20:33

Definitely the funniest game of the jam!

ragepaint 2014-09-12 03:16

Haha, that was pretty funny. Would be fun to have a free play mode too where you can just crash into everything :)

lotusgame 2014-09-12 12:32

Fantastic ! So funny, original and very well made. A must see :)

lokarunith 2014-09-12 21:11

Super fun concept! Usualy I don't like when people interpret the theme too literaly, but in your case its so literal it's hilarious!
The game was really short, but since it was also really hard it made up for having only a single level.

fizzd 2014-09-13 07:53

Wonderful! This was fun, and hilarious intro sequence and premise. Would be nice if when we failed, letting the user wreck the restaurant out of frustration instead of forcing an immediate restart. But I was happy to get to the end with a strategy of going full speed and using certain tables as bumpers. Great fun!

apiotrw 2014-09-13 14:10

Greatly executed concept and very funny to play

nicepenguins 2014-09-14 18:13

Love the humour and the narration ! The QWOP-like (or octodad-like) is not my style, but very cool game !

mercurylegba 2014-09-16 12:28

A well deserved silver medal!!
