"Error launching unity web player"

orangeez 2014-12-09 05:25

@xWarZonex, did you try windows build or a direct link?

orangeez 2014-12-09 05:29

F5 is also useful.

Nice Style. I like the panic attack part.

rono 2014-12-09 20:00

Nice mood, also the aging mechanic was interesting. Controls were sometimes irresponsive and the fact that enemies started attacking before they appeared on screen were huge downoffs :/

Really creative!

ams 2014-12-10 02:19

This is fantastic! Loved the graphics, the mechanic, it's and awesome game, thanks for making this, guys!

orangeez 2014-12-10 06:24

@AMS, Wow, thanks for the kind words, we're really happy to hear this!

kaijuu 2014-12-10 11:38

Really nice idea!
And cool graphics

frondeus 2014-12-10 19:26

Nice, creative game :)

So I had pink eye and diahrea while shoothing at three tail foxes with a shotgun. And my freacking eye patch block my sight ! What's left to say... AWESOME GAME ! Congrats !

Very addictive and fun!

orangeez 2014-12-10 20:09

We’ve been working hard to make it fun, thanks! C:

Lovely aesthetics. There is an add hovering in the unity embed on this page that will not go away.

demy 2014-12-10 21:42

It looks so good... and scary a little. I love it.

vidar 2014-12-10 21:46

I never thought I'd say this, but I didn't understand the diharrea machanics :P
It seemed everytime i ate something, my character got diharrea, is that correct?
Anyways, I really liked the graphics and the weird ageing effects, good job!

lereveur 2014-12-10 22:02

Good graphics and audio, unfortunately couldn't try it too long because of "WASD" mandatory controls, but seems nice to play. ;)

orangeez 2014-12-10 22:03

@vidarn, I can totally understand you! I never thought I'd be writing a class callled DiarrheaController or literally coding crap =D

There are three types of healthy food and three types of those causing diarrhea; all of them restore health to the fullest though.

At first glance I thought this was going to be just another dual-joystick shooter type game, but it has some fun ideas and I really like the overall theme. The graphics and atmosphere is also really nice.

leaden 2014-12-11 11:44

Snake, Snake, Snaaaake!!!

pulsartronic 2014-12-11 21:51

jojojo ... it becomes a crazy one in a couple of minutes :D i like it ... high rated for fun

tuism 2014-12-11 21:55

Am I the only one who had to deal with that giant bloody banner? WHY EVEN IS THAT THERE?!

Looking past that, it's a very well put together production. Really good animations.

The random disabilities... I get that they're funny, and they add a layer of frustration... But I'm not sure that's good frustration, because it's not something I can include into my plan, and take away agency. If you're going to penalise the player, make it avoidable, or else it doesn't add to the game - it makes it less fun.

It's pretty decent, really. Just wanted something a bit more in the ideas department!

oscarabraham 2014-12-11 22:19

It was nice. I think you should opt out of the audio category because you are using the song Snake Eater (which is really cool), rules say if you use audio previously created, or created by someone not from your team, you should opt out of that category.

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-12 22:57

Lovely graphics. I'm intrigued by the title. Why is it called "True Story"? Did you get attacked by ocelots?

poupi 2014-12-13 00:53

Nice graphics ;)

hippolyta 2014-12-13 00:53

Nice graphics and cool game with an innovative concept.

Very well done!

elendow 2014-12-13 00:55

Very nice game, I love the status events and the aging system. The graphics are nice, but the bullets are hard to see sometimes. Great job!

dokthar 2014-12-13 01:07

Really good game. I love the concept ^^

sorlok 2014-12-13 01:27

Clever idea, and the mechanics were pretty good. Some of the "powerups" were pretty frustrating to play with, but I guess that was the point. Great job!

orangeez 2014-12-13 08:37

@badlydrawnrod, "True Story" means that we cover not only a small part, but a whole life of a hero. First he's young and strong, but eventually withers and gets weak. And yes, we have one ocelot later in the game :D

andreaswitzen 2014-12-15 02:33

I love how nothing in this game fits together, except for the character starting to look like solid snake and the theme song starting to play (you should probably should have opted out of audio) both of which gave me a chuckle anyhow.

Had som wierd problems with fog/shroud of wall covering the left side of the screen starting from the player, and by around age 60 enemies stopped spawning.

almax27 2014-12-16 21:58

Definitely had a few WTF moments playing this :D Very unique, and a lot of fun, nice work! (And that song at the end <3)

Lucariatias 2014-12-21 00:27

Quite well-polished and unique game. Graphical style was neat. Some of the hindering effects just weren't...fun though. Also, aging process was a little too fast - I felt the age should be around double for some of the effects to be happening. I got a hear attack and died at 40 after drinking numerous youth potions, which is a little bit nonsensical. Music also didn't really seem to fit well.

krisdevelopment 2014-12-24 12:50

Love the art, like the humor but wtf I got a heart attack, then woke up and died while I had a diaria after an erection?
Dont know how I feel about this game. Nice work :D

mathmadlen 2014-12-28 04:30

Cute art, fun idea!
