I feel ashamed for my actions. Also, I can't believe I walked to the other room to get my controller for this.

tobiasnl 2015-04-20 21:03

Looked like fun but my gamepad din't work. Might consider to do something less risky;)

jojocanard 2015-04-20 21:23

Haha awesome. I laughed a lot even if it is depressing in the same time. Way too hard for me : death and the illness seems to be indestructible and get me.

nihilaleph 2015-04-20 21:39

So depressing and fun xp I remember when I played Mario Party and had to keep rotate the stick until my hand burst open kkk.
It's too hard for me too... I can't beat it >.< and now my thumbs hurt.... T_T
Really liked the art! But the 2nd movement of the moonlight sonata is not depressing at all!

jaredsartin 2015-04-20 21:40

Hmmm... I feel wrong about playing this. You nailed it for shock factor!

nassi 2015-04-20 21:41

@kyyrma: So in other words it was an emotional experience that also moved you :P? Quite literally.

@TobiasNL: I'll ask here too: what gamepad did you use? Thanks for the interest!

@jojocanard: Well, death is quite a hassle to drive away (3 hits), but illness shouldn't be too much of a problem (2 hits).

pikmin4000 2015-04-20 21:41

tried to play, but it didn't recognize my wireless gamepad, any suggestions?

nassi 2015-04-20 21:44

@nihilaleph: That's among the most common childhood of memories of anyone who owned a Nintendo 64! Thanks for playing.

@Jared Sartin: It was supposed to be comical, but then I added the anime face and got carried away. Here's the original plan: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m0rfli7pidc0i8w/I_figured_it_out.png.

nassi 2015-04-20 22:39

@pikmin4000: Added an edit to the description. I'll update it with better advice if I figure the problem out.

dickie 2015-04-20 23:08

fucking amazing, I've never laughed at an LD game so hard.

can't for the life of me beat it and took a while to realise what I was doing but yeah awesome themed idea. Real shame I couldn't get my thumbs to cooperate and rotate at the same pace.

would fondle again

gene-z 2015-04-21 00:18

good game,, strange concept,, but good

tork 2015-04-21 00:19

well this is the most difficult game I have played in a long time XD dual pad circling is hard, still it kept me trying to see more story endings, nice entry!

chronusz 2015-04-21 00:20

That was a very... unique experience.

bpleonvong 2015-04-21 01:55

I can't believe I needed only a controller and nothing else. Game makes my arms tired.

blaster391 2015-04-21 12:33

I feel dirty playing this...
It was fun, took me a few goes to work out the motions I needed to do, but afterwards... I still sucked. I enjoyed it though

hamsternator 2015-04-21 12:38

Well... uhm... this is certainly an interesting interpretation of the theme '^^
Realised that I'm not much of a dual wielder.

chikoness 2015-04-21 12:39

This... I feel wrong playing this lol, but the concept is pretty good :) I like how simple and powerful the opening is.

kabutakogames 2015-04-21 12:39

Got to be one of the funnier jam games so far

the4thcircle 2015-04-21 15:21

I don't have the requisite hardware for this but I wish I could play it, it looks kind of redonkulous.

the4thcircle 2015-04-21 16:21

Since you asked in my comments, I did a windows build just for you. Knock yourself out.

hatsome 2015-04-21 18:18

It could have been a little easier for my taste

awpteamoose 2015-04-21 18:21

Wow, what a game. Couldn't fondle it all the way through, unfortunately.

smbe19 2015-04-21 18:29

Did anyone actually manage to win this game?
Very interesting idea!

nassi 2015-04-21 18:52

@all: Thanks for the comments! Shouldn't have kept making it harder as I progressed it seems :P.

What is winning after all. Maybe the difficulty is just a metaphore for our lives. Or maybe I just made that up to justify my actions. Oh well, at least there's different bad endings for you to look at :).

robotic-brain 2015-04-21 18:53

It didn't recognize my gamepad, so i had to patch it manually.
1. unzip .love file
2. add:
love.joystick.loadGamepadMappings("padmap")
to love.load in main.lua
3. create file called "padmap" and add your mapping data (see: https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_GameControllerAddMapping?highlight=%28%5CbCategoryAPI%5Cb%29%7C%28SDLFunctionTemplate%29)
4. zip up love file (see: https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution)

This is exceptionally hard! I was unable to survive more than 1 thing.

nassi 2015-04-21 18:57

@Robotic-Brain: So it was indeed because Löve natively has support only for the most widely used gamepads... Thanks for going the extra length! Next time I'll just make it so that users can bind their own keys if the gamepad isn't regocnized.

duck 2015-04-21 21:46

How amusingly depressing haha. I got all the bad endings but am just not coordinated enough to get the good one.

Now, just needs Power Glove compatibility...

marcellus 2015-04-22 00:12

My controller doesn't work, yet it's a playstation 2 controler

smilingcat 2015-04-22 17:22

This is by far the raunchiest LD I have seen yet. Very interesting gameplay "mechanics". Great job!

ultraval 2015-04-22 17:26

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What did you smoke guy? I want!!!
I really enjoyed the game, take my like sir!!

PD: Works nice with Xbox gamepad.

indiestry 2015-04-23 15:31

couldnt really figure out what the lane mechanic did but still had a few different endings. Eventhough everything was pretty simple your game still achived some sort of disturbance effect on me :)

nassi 2015-04-23 15:51

@duck: Maybe Leap Motion and an Oculus Rift would be more modern ;).

@SmilingCat & @reiknight: Thank you for your kinds words :3.

@Indiestry: Just select a lane with the DPAD or ABXY keys of your gamepad and then start doing the ol' titty tornado. The moans will come out in the lane that you have selected. That's really all there is to it.

sublustris 2015-04-23 19:31

5 for fun :)

josefnpat 2015-04-24 01:13

Crazy depressing game. Fantastic game man, worked nicely on linux with a wired xbox 360 controller.

indiestry 2015-04-24 12:03

I didnt understand the symbols on the lanes (the bar, the family etc.), I thought it was something like rythm game. Do the lanes have any influence on which ending comes up?

nassi 2015-04-24 12:51

@Indiestry: The symbols represent the bad thoughts and problems of the protagonist, so it's just about making them disappear before they get to you. The ending depends entirely on which problem gets you, so the lanes are irrelevant. Thanks for the reply, I can now see that I should've probably explained it better to begin with.

abcdef65g 2015-04-25 16:13

This game was quite effective. One would think I would end up just thinking about *that* while playing, yet I caught myself laughing and thinking about life's problems. An amazingly dificult experience but really a game to get you thinking. And about more than tits as well!

morbidcamel 2015-04-25 17:34

It's funny.

trasevol_dog 2015-04-25 20:33

I want to play this game but my Thrustmaster gamepad isn't recognized >< !! Does anyone have a simpler solution than Robotic-Brain's ?

akios 2015-04-26 16:10

nice take on concept, it lacks some audio, but still awesome, art isn't bad either, i saw all the endings,
nice work.

franklins-ghost 2015-05-01 16:10

Definitely a unique entry and the way you incorporated the gamepad sticks was really clever.
