Good job. Great concept. I liked it. But I think I found a bug. One of the monsters spawned up the wall. I cant get to him and he cant get to me so I couldnt advance.

Funny game, good use of the theme

Hilarious references. Well not hilarious, but made me giggle =) The mood made me want to continue playing. Good job!

Nice artwork and zelda references

Great job! I really liked the theme of a lazy hero and the grappling hook/sword combo were fun.

Great game, love the idea. Wish I could have beat it but I can't keep batting the ball back this late at night. (I'm about to literally fall asleep ;D) Will try again later.

I almost gave up the game thinking it was breaking, dont have a right mouse button. If you can simplify the controls, that would be great, I like the concept but I kinda lose interest. Nice pokemon like graphics. Funny dialogue.

Very enjoyable experience, couldn't beat the princess though, also a monster spawned on the wall, but I could still reach it with the sword so it wasn't game breaking. Good job.

Hahaha, good game, very funny. In the end I died against Zelda because a bat changed the direction of the fireball, it went reflecting all over the screen until it hitted me. And that was also funny for me haha

Hilariously funny and a great use of the theme. I sucked at the princess-fire-pingpong and got "killed".

Very nice.

Graphics are really good!

yarek 2014-12-09 23:13

I'm resting well after killing her :D I love the references and the idea is really original. Good job :D

Cool entry, really well polished

Amazingly original concept - well stylized GFX.

Bedroom RPGs FTW!

I feel like this game was about me, except the version of me that has access to a grappling hook and a sword. Nicely done! It was fun enough to keep me playing until the end. I would have liked to see another classic items maybe, or even the ability to upgrade your sword.

This was fantastic! Absolutely enjoyed it. :)

The graphics, the mood, the humor -- I was expecting him to climb out of bed, and when he didn't I laughed -so hard-. :D

Great take on the Zelda-like concept. Really unique!

Fantastic entry, I love the humor, the idea, the everything. Very nice work.

fussycashew 2014-12-10 02:13

This was great from start to finish. Great mechanic added to by the fantastic humor of the game.

lukezaz 2014-12-10 02:16

Awesome game. Loved the way the theme was used.

ohfiddlediddle 2014-12-10 05:42

Really cool concept and very well executed. :)
Like all game jams, a bit more content would have been awesome, but can't do much about that. :D

Well done. :D

friken 2014-12-10 05:49

LOVE IT.... well done

solifuge 2014-12-10 05:53

Neat game! I really liked your subversion of the usual heroic narrative in video games, and the sound direction is just right. Volume on SFX, especially the chickens, needed to be tuned a little bit to match the music volume, though, and I felt that the campaign was a little bit underwhelming. I took very little damage and didn't understand why I was collecting rupees and maps if I was never going to use them... I expected the Happy Mask Seller to come by, heh.

Still, a solid entry. Thank you for the game!

rono 2014-12-10 05:53

Have you ever been so lazy... you saved the world from your bed? Lol nice game.

davient 2014-12-10 06:19

Enjoyed the concept. I'd like to see where you can take this next?

murchurl 2014-12-10 07:57

Interesting concept! I like it, graphics and audio are quite nice swell. Great entry!

abdurrahmankh 2014-12-10 18:43

nice work. I loved how funny this game is. no much game play though, except for final boss and the chicken hunt, you can make games out of these mechanics, the rest is just too easy, you dont need skills to do them.

I liked how the art and Music all fit.
over all good job

mintarcade 2014-12-10 18:59

Cool. 5 stars from me!

mattias-wargren 2014-12-10 23:11

great idea!

darkfrost 2014-12-13 14:25

This was amazing. :D Could you open the map though?

wertle 2014-12-13 20:10

This is wonderful. I really enjoyed that the game itself was still fun mechanically and didn't just rely on a throwaway joke. The Zelda tropes were really well done and I giggled the whole time. Super great work!

nikteddy92 2014-12-14 11:02

I LOVE THIS GAME!
The idea is great and well developed!
Perfect music, nice graphic and funny quotes.
Great Work, well done!

lycrashampoo 2014-12-15 07:53

That was great! I'm lying in bed while I type this, though, so I'm biased.

blzkz 2014-12-16 21:28

So great! And fun! ooohh this game was awesome

saswat 2014-12-29 14:15

Great Concept. Very Original.
