This game is good and frustrating!

chuigum 2015-04-21 22:22

Nice concept. Great idea, I really like how it lags! Good audio too, I like the sound when he dies. :) Great job!

This game reminds me of when I had slow internet, but then I got oxy-clean and it all changed! RIP billy mays

Wow this game is annoying but that's what makes it fun/funny! I wouldn't call lag a 'weapon' or 'anything else that's actually useful,' but it was still interesting to play a client-side that had extreme server-side style lag.

mentatzoe 2015-04-22 11:04

That was hilarious.

bubuiic 2015-04-22 11:04

This is an extremely clever idea, even though it is rather difficult to play. Nice Work!

peterkirk 2015-04-22 13:29

I like the concept for this game, but found it a bit too frustrating to play.

esayitch 2015-04-22 16:07

Lag simulation 10/10 would lag again xD

And serious, nice take on the theme, graphics are cool, but the sound is great because it is so mellow and calm, while the player would be raging... Cool entry :)

This concept is soooo good. I got to 3rd level, which I couldn't finish no matter how hard I tried. Maybe the game could be a bit easier?

jmaggard62 2015-04-22 16:12

Such an interesting concept! Unfortunately super frustrating for me couldn't get past the first level

cheshyr 2015-04-22 16:47

i kind of hate your game, but in a good way. <.< hehe, clever idea, and while I wouldn't call it fun, it was interesting. nice music too.

_waterman7_ 2015-04-22 17:01

Really funny concept, it just LAGS some variation.

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one :D)

pushmepullyu 2015-04-22 17:27

A novel idea but its more frustrating than anything.

louis-denizet 2015-04-22 17:29

ho my god such a frustrating game haha !
realisation is good like it very much for the concept ;)

null-dies 2015-04-22 17:37

The lag mechanics idea is innovative. But the experience I got out of the game was frustration.
I have mixed feelings about this game :D

careless 2015-04-22 18:50

Wow that was like playing CS 1.6 in 2000 on a crap server with 50 people!

I wanted to beat a few levels but never quite got used to the LAG! Great idea and caused me 5 minutes or pure frustration.

Not even sure how I would go about coding that lol!

nassi 2015-04-22 18:56

Even if the lag isn't real the frustration sure is. Good thing the rest of the levels were easier than that first one. I must've spent at least five minutes on one of the platforms there. Loved the idea and execution, but I hope for the love of God that no one ever makes a game like this again :D.

I like how @Cheshyr put it:
"i kind of hate your game, but in a good way."!

rmc 2015-04-22 20:36

This game is so frustrating that I'm now addicted. I will have to dig some old US Robotics modem to play some FPS online, thank you for the miserable time :D

I think this is the most creative/unconventional weapon I see in this LD. Good job, the game is awesome.

deadfragment 2015-04-22 22:36

Love this entry, really unique idea, I felt the game was a bit hard an frustrating but it was hilarious and fun at the same time.

peterfsat 2015-04-22 23:06

Funny mechanic! Though the lag is annoying! :p

uannaff 2015-04-23 01:44

This game is so frustrating!! omg... but i had to keep trying, good job!!

eddynardo 2015-04-23 11:47

the rage is real in this one XD

ccglp 2015-04-23 15:03

I just don't get the game when I played it, but then I read the name twice and... OHHHHHH. Little fucking programmer (in a good way)

jakob37 2015-04-23 15:16

Ahh! Really nice idea, and really frustrating to play!

sayhiben 2015-04-23 16:40

hahahaha, this is fantastic

crazyheckman 2015-04-23 21:02

This is the most frustrating thing I have ever played. Nice idea, but I wish it was easier to digest.

hotboxgames 2015-04-23 21:03

I swore more times in the last 5 minutes than I have in the last 5 months. 5/5

gigitrix 2015-04-23 21:04

This is amazing, I hate you so much.

nov1kk 2015-04-23 22:28

Great game, very innovating, but I find it just too random and frustrating. I know it's the idea of the game, but too much for mee!

celisoft 2015-04-24 09:28

Original gameplay. Happy to see a web game without that damn Unity :-)

hatsome 2015-04-24 20:14

Concept is nice, but it's too frustrating.

scorched 2015-04-25 07:43

I think the lag should be an ability of player, or it should be explicitly shown to player, when the next lag will occur, so he knows exactly when to jump safely, and when to attack:-) The idea is funny

jhrrsn 2015-04-25 18:53

Ha, this is a funny take on something that (thankfully!) most of us don't have to deal with these days. It skews towards frustrating occasionally, but generally you can persevere and get through the levels pretty successfully. Good job!

FYI, I've fixed the bug that stopped you progressing in our game - please give it another shot if you feel like it! Cheers.

nameoftheuser 2015-04-26 19:57

pretty good, very frusturating

ethanwebster 2015-04-26 20:57

Fits the theme perfectly. Great game, but very frustrating.

dkoding 2015-04-26 21:04

Fun idea but unfortunately it did not make for a very playable game :-)

xanderzoo 2015-04-26 21:51

It's a great idea, but it took me five minutes just to go up two platforms...

xanjos 2015-04-26 22:55

Annoyingly hard, but in a good way. It's a very interesting take on the theme and I love how it's used in the game.

pietro-ferrantelli 2015-04-27 13:37

Nice theme interpretation. I enjoyed playing this game and the audio is neat ! Congrats

paveldlouhy 2015-04-28 06:07

Great idea! For me it is not frustrating at all. It is not easy to play but I really like it! Good work.

goerp 2015-05-04 19:37

Haha, top marks for originality and theme. Really Meta!
I like the music and sound and the graphics are fine.
The only thing is: your weapon is a frustraing and annoying thing, and it still is when playing. So I didn't played it to the end.

Sorry

jukimv1986 2015-05-06 11:25

Interesting concept, but extremely frustrating. Good job!

raroadkill 2015-05-08 00:47

very funny, liked the concept of using lag, brings back bad memories of bad connections

bizm 2015-05-11 02:43

Had a good laugh.

ultraval 2015-05-12 15:08
