Congratulation for finishing this Game ! \o/

I Was cought off guard by the awesome introduction ! It was really great ! A good way to put the player in the mood !
My main concern was the objectives ! I didn't really understood what to do. I mean, there is a clear objective at one point but i had no idea of how to reach it.
Plus, the way you use money to buy things is weird. I was tempted to click on what i wanted to buy. But minor concern.
I like the ton of your game, and the humor !
My Advice for next time : Give the payer more ways to project itself in the futur

I want to play this game, but I don't know how...

Looks interesting though. =)

Wow nice game !
Really liked the funny audio comments and the graphics, although it's true at first it's not very clear what to do. A quick tutorial after the intro would be perfect :)

I actually really loved this game. It took me a while to figure out exactly what was going on, but once I did, I had a lot of fun. And even before I did, when motivated me to stick with it and figure it out was the captivating audio narrative. Very well done, I wish you best of luck!

I really like your game, but a manual or a tutorial would really help to understand what i have to do. The sounds the pictures and the story are great and it really looks like i could have a lot of fun with your game.

I like the intro and voice overs. Overall it seemed put together really solid. As a player though I didn't really understand what to do. There should be some way to lose, if I keep clicking next turn it just seems to keep going.

I've added some instructions to this page.

Thank you for the kind comments, everyone. If I could go back and add a visual tutorial to the game, I would. I expect I'll do this in the post-ld version.

I want to give this a try but the web page says that no application appears to be running :/

Cloud9 can't get you to your requested workspace. Here are some suggestions on how to figure out what's going on:

Check that the workspace name (ludum-dare-31) and username (spirulence) are typed correctly.
Check that the server is successfully running on Cloud9:
If the server hit an error, the output window will have a message telling you what it is
If you're in the middle of debugging code, your server might be paused right now
The server might be running on a different port; make sure it's on port $PORT with $IP as the IP address

Sorry guys, I'm on the free Cloud9 plan, and the workspace turns off after a week. I've restarted it.
