Interesting usage of theme.
Oh, and the second level reminded me of Frogger. :D

tomvert 2014-08-25 09:14

Why is this guy trying to kill me while I make dinner ? How can I avoid his bullet ?

ViliX 2014-08-25 09:14

The graphics style is amazing :) Unfortunately, I died from the bullet shot every time :/

techblogogy 2014-08-25 09:16

This is a really fun game.

druid 2014-08-25 09:24

Little tip... You can hide behind some kind of furniture if you use it ;)

nusan 2014-08-25 09:27

Great graphic style, pretty good ideas. I would love more. Sometimes its a bit too hard and random. Keep up the good work.

kedume 2014-08-25 09:53

Very nice graphics. The concept is nice too. Good job.

fcpfoof 2014-08-25 10:28

I always wanted to make such game ;o.
Anyway it's pretty cool.

linuus 2014-08-25 10:28

Fun concept, and the graphics are just perfect!

paperblurt 2014-08-25 10:54

REAL smart and innovative gameplay.
The pixel graphics even hightens the gameplay and narrative...

zoomyzoom 2014-08-25 10:55

I love the puzzle aspect :D Took me a while not not get shot XD

feybrant 2014-08-25 10:57

Hahaha, i (or we) died !!! My kitchen explodes !! It's funny and i love how the game looks like. The only thing i didn't understad at all is : why two guys ?

cinnamonmelonpig 2014-08-25 11:05

Hey, really great work! best I played so far :D

druid 2014-08-25 11:20

Well.. It is one guy and two slightly different realities :)

peping 2014-08-25 12:39

Very Druid-esque :)

split82 2014-08-25 14:09

Nicely executed and fun. The only problem I found was extremely loud sound of cars ;)

punyone 2014-08-25 14:48

Nice graphical style and the general mood. I needed to look to comments to figure out the first stage :(.

stepwise 2014-08-25 14:51

fun and ridiculous. great play!

mess110 2014-08-25 15:30

fun concept but quite unforgiving :D

couldn't make it passed the cars

ganbaregames 2014-08-25 15:33

Great concept. I really liked the potted plant level.

fleegle2000 2014-08-25 15:36

I found it extremely challenging without being frustrating. It reminded me a lot of McPixel, not just because of the artwork but also the brevity of the levels and some of the humor. That's not a bad thing! I hope you decide to continue development after the competition. I would like to see what other scenarios you can put these guys in. I love how everything causes the same death animation. Maybe you just didn't have time to add others, but I found it added to the dark humor of the game. Also, love the random car coming out of nowhere in the park scene. At first I didn't understand how I died.

Just one tiny bug I found while playing - when I first entered the park, the car sounds continued to play - I don't think that was intentional. Fortunately they went away after I died. My only criticism is that the car sound is a tad annoying.

Keep up the good work!

druid 2014-08-25 15:53

Thanks guys! Yeah, i want make more death animations but i didn't have time :( (i am pretty obsessed with death animations thanks to dangerous dave games :D )

dunin 2014-08-25 16:14

Nice graphics.
I love that the two worlds are differents by few details (windows...)

berail 2014-08-25 16:24

Interestiing and sometimes hard i like it :D !

headmade 2014-08-25 16:31

Nice graphics but the trail and error gameplay wasn't for me.

dhargan 2014-08-25 16:44

kind of confusing at first and may require a little bit more explanatory. besides that it is very interesting game. good job!

eruiz00 2014-08-25 16:53

Liked it. Simple but Good ideas guarantee fun time!!

robinerd 2014-08-25 17:58

So cool idea! I got really hyped as soon as I started. Great music and effects, thanks for sparing me that randomly generated stuff which many others use.
Pixel art is great too and the theme connection is brilliant to say the least since it also integrates so well with the game mechanics. Small bug: could open the door after I got shot.

43iscoding 2014-08-25 18:35

It's very fun I got 2 lines on my screen:

"MAKE DINNER"
"YOU DIED!"

:D

agecaf 2014-08-25 19:06

I liked the graphic style, but didn't understood the story completely... Cars usually don't try to murder people...

dragonxvi 2014-08-25 19:23

Bonkers. :p

adjotur 2014-08-25 20:23

Really cool :D Currently stuck on the second level but I feel a strong urge to keep trying. Some of the sound effects were a bit loud but otherwise I loved it.

yodamaster 2014-08-25 22:03

Crashed my whole system after a while ...

adventureislands 2014-08-25 22:11

This was pretty funny and random. Wish there had been more puzzles, the game was pretty short. The going home level was difficult because the collisions are little odd.

trickfishpie 2014-08-25 23:16

I just want to eat! Why must i be shot :(

Neat presentation love the graphics

billtowin 2014-08-26 02:22

Great art style, nice pixel art all, nice color palette. Cool interpretation of the theme.

druid 2014-08-26 12:07

Thanks!

william_edwards 2014-08-26 12:46

Really really hard! But that's not a bad thing.

I was playing the web version and I had a bit of trouble with the controls and focus.

boaheck_artgent 2014-08-26 12:53

This was fun. I like the take on the theme. The graphics were nice and the different levels were interesting. I loved how unexplained a lot of it was.

alexdjones 2014-08-26 13:25

Interesting, challenging but fun half-puzzle half-adventure game!

axebane 2014-08-26 13:55

I felt like the sound effects were a little too loud, but otherwise this is a pretty good game! Excellent use of theme.

revelorenfield 2014-08-26 16:50

Nice little game :)
It was not easy to manage these 2 guys at the same time under the rain. I just ran and prayed.
Good challenge.

rawbosaurx 2014-08-26 17:32

Excellent stuff, man! Enjoyed this all the way through. Unique gameplay style, and the art looks really good. Wish it was longer, but that's always the case in gamejams.

sunflower 2014-08-26 18:11

Very random and fun to play, the best game I played thus far (though I was walking rather randomly at the beginning). Took me a while to figure out that the bullet is rather slow and I can outrun it as much as needed. ^^"

naksrifati 2014-08-26 19:21

I like the graphics, and the overall idea. But a little to random, and hard)

vctr_seleucos 2014-08-26 22:40

Really liked it, nice graphics. Short and funny. Love the concept but need more puzzles. Really random and funny xD Reminds me a lot to McPixel and one level reminds me to Frogger

satyre 2014-08-27 13:58

Funny game. Pretty hard sometimes. Nice graphics and retro sound.

druid 2014-08-27 19:54

Thanks guys! I am really glad you like my game!

haymanmarc 2014-08-28 02:56

Pretty cool "old-school"-style game. I liked the levels being short. The first level had me stumped for quite a while and I almost gave up. But alas, I figured it out and made it thru the entire game. Well done!

primaerfunktion 2014-08-28 06:27

That's a great concept. I Also like the art. Great work!

mintarcade 2014-08-28 09:58

Interesting game

kayelgee 2014-08-28 22:43

The theme feels a little bit forced on this one. It was a fun game anyways.

mechanicmoon 2014-08-28 23:16

Die die and die! Lol! Really funny!

iamspencer 2014-08-28 23:29

liked the graphics, and a good idea, good job :)

dohan 2014-08-29 06:04

Wow, I won't want to live in neither of those worlds... I think I've finished the 'Go home' level just on pure luck.

dickpoelen 2014-08-29 12:43

Those are some hard lifes...

artamus 2014-08-29 18:38

Nice game, congrats!

javadocmd 2014-08-29 21:52

Interesting puzzle scenarios. Well crafted!

jukimv1986 2014-08-31 07:16

Great 8bit music and graphics! But how do you dodge the bullet? It reminds me somehow of McPixel. Good effort!

parahunter 2014-08-31 13:30

The first puzzle was quite difficult to figure out since it's not really that logical that running to the right and hide behind the furniture would not just result in you getting shot in the back on your way there. Interesting concept though.

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-05 01:50

Interesting game. I included it in part 14 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/fQEfK1MQqVU

ajopart 2014-09-15 18:22

well done !
