goty

"I'm in"
neat

broivula 2014-12-07 18:38

Gave me a giggle, well done.

sharp911 2014-12-08 02:55

So I think this is pretty fun. But useless :)

drludos 2014-12-08 02:56

You made me laugh, and I thank you for that! :)

mrexcessive 2014-12-08 12:59

Hi there. Does what it says on the tin. Good job, sound effects quite harsh if you've left volume on high... Pots and cats... nice...

zwergesel 2014-12-11 15:38

I see you've mastered sarcasm.

paperweight 2014-12-12 19:05

Repeated 3 themes over and over for me, sound tops out, not really a game.

regisrquoi 2014-12-12 19:17

Uh.
Well, is it a game? Does this fits the theme really? Don't know..
You should have wrote more theme, since there's like, just this in your game.. It's just always the same themes popping which makes it not really fun. Too bad cause the idea is funny.
It could have been cool if it was always a new theme for super long and it feels infinite (we'd stop playing before having 2 times the same theme)

Although, there's some good jokes ("I'm in", lol), but if you tell me "I'm in" 6 times, I won't laugh at the 6th time.

The thing in itself feels nice (I like the comments popping. Fun.), but it's not interactive so much (would need more stuff than just the basic generator) but it just, could have been way better, and.. does it fit the theme anyway? Aint sure.

klianc09 2014-12-12 21:55

Now I want the next LD theme to be "Submit a game" ^^
Nice, good for some laughs :D

lereveur 2014-12-13 02:00

You should have go deeper in your concept, I am pretty sure that you can make a real game with that idea (I remember that someone have made a game were the player was... A Ludum Dare competitor and the goal was to... Make a game before the deadline).
Or, at least, add a lot more choices in the random list. ;)

kddekadenz 2014-12-13 16:18

@regisRquoi @LeReveur: It isn't really meant to be something serious. Just my reaction on this LD's theme pinned down.
Thanks for your effort to give me constructive criticism, but I don't think I did put enough work in it to be good for more than just some giggles.

side note: the rating members seems to be very strong this time, I haven't even rated a game, yet already have 14 votes

rono 2014-12-13 17:23

Too bad it had few options :( the funniest part is that everybody liked the theme!

lase 2014-12-13 17:27

#GOAT

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-13 18:19

The themes are rather true to the typical Ludum Dare theme. Instead of voting in #LD32 perhaps we could use this next time.

kddekadenz 2014-12-13 18:26

@badlydrawnrod: best comment so far :D

ianatherton 2014-12-13 18:31

Gameplay was hard to learn, no tutorial, hard controls...The boss was too hard (Talking nonsense, comedic and funny entry!)

susanthecat 2014-12-13 18:37

The music is awesome!
I can't wait for those Ludum Dares. :)
I liked the animation of the quotes.

kddekadenz 2014-12-13 18:38

Thanks Susan! :D

cxsquared 2014-12-13 18:50

So inspiring. Much fun

incredible-ape 2014-12-13 18:52

Wow. So Ludum Doge.

geckoo1337 2014-12-13 19:06

It's a joke, but I like idea ++

vikinggames 2014-12-13 19:58

It's funny, and the graphics and sounds fit very well. Surprisingly fun to press the button and see the result. Good job!

rhy3756547 2014-12-13 20:56

I'm not sure what happened here. I can't find one thing good from any of the voting categories. Inspiration unfortunately isn't a category. :'(

kddekadenz 2014-12-13 21:07

@RHY3756547: 'Theme' :D
(also mood, fun and audio)

superdisk 2014-12-13 21:36

Gahaha. I love how it's a subtle jab at LD by actually including real themes (Potatoes and Kittens, Entire Games on One Screen) as well as the satirical ones.

Not a game, but it's really funny.

happytransportgames 2014-12-13 21:36

A good idea... It may never be a "game" but if you had a lot more themes, I would click till LD354! Even now I clicked a lot to be sure I had seen all available "themes"! :)

indie4fun 2014-12-13 21:40

This game really deserves 5 stars in Theme.

rothens 2014-12-13 22:00

lol xD

ottersden 2014-12-13 22:01

looks like somebody didn't like this Ludum Dare's theme. ;)
Still, thanks for the laughs!

tudd 2014-12-13 22:08

So inspiring! I'm in!

csanyk 2014-12-13 22:40

It's not all that random? I'm only seeing about 4-5 different themes. And most of them would't survive the slaughter :P

kitch 2014-12-13 22:41

That's two scratch games I've seen this LD. Can't wait to show my son. Can't wait for the I'm a Banana theme :)

robert_steiner 2014-12-13 23:05

BEST GAME EVER! SO INSPIRING!

mrbadivan 2014-12-14 06:41

=))) Well, good little joke=)

robert_steiner 2014-12-14 11:01

Hi, I've added linux build to my game as you suggested :)

papygaragos 2014-12-14 12:35

Wow. Such Ideas. Much Clever. How Sarcasm. Very Themes. Wow

dannorder 2014-12-14 16:16

It's funny because it's true.

mechamew 2014-12-15 22:51

Potatoes and kittens.

delahee 2014-12-16 01:43

Hahaha :)

tmpxyz 2014-12-16 05:42

interesting, not quite a game though.

vulture-tamer 2014-12-16 08:47

haha :p

gre 2014-12-16 13:49

such weird

wdebowicz 2014-12-16 13:52

Ours entry have something in common ;-)

kddekadenz 2014-12-16 18:24

@you: Please note that this crappy rant about the theme is not meant to be taken seriously. Just me experimenting a bit.
If it made you giggle a bit, than it did more than it meant to be :)

gallerdude 2014-12-16 18:51

Scratch, woo!

bobombe 2014-12-16 19:02

So yes it's just a raging ...mmm... thing :/ But you could have been fun or satirical ... Hope you didn't loose too much time on that !

kddekadenz 2014-12-16 19:23

@bobombe: "you could have been fun or satirical"
- if it doesn't seem for you to be, it doesn't mean it isn't. It means you've another perception or I told it badly.
(thing is that I can't really see which themes you got trough the random factor)
There are definitively some filler themes I throw in there (as "Ludum Dare Theme"), but also some satirical ones (e.g. "Submit a game" being equally inspiring in mood and setting as "Entire Game on One Screen").
I'm not very secure at satire to be honest, it's quite different to amuse a crowd than some friends you know. The game was a challenge so I get more secure with it.

lukezaz 2014-12-16 20:04

Not very fun, and rather repetitive, but it's a fun idea.

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-16 20:22

Pretty cute, sorta-vaguely amusing. I wish there were a bigger variety of funny themes and responses, since its really the only thing this pseudo-game has going on really, lol.

kddekadenz 2014-12-16 20:41

@ArcturusDeluxe: Thanks for the extra words, helps me a bit to figure things out and get better :)

igoramendola 2014-12-16 20:44

hahaha xD
