It looks interesting and cute, but I can't get the jar to run. It just locks up? I'm on Windows 7.

Nice little story. I'm from New Zealand and thought you were talking about the Kiwi BIRD ha ha. Great work though!

The jar took a while to load but when it did I was not disapointed.

That was really funny. Though, aren't kiwis a little bit fuzzy?

Funny game with a story to boot :)
I had to update java to make it work and then the loading time was kind of long (grey screen for 10 secs before anything happend)

To answer comments: yes, loading screen is too long (and I couldn't personalize it... I won't use this framework again >.<). And by kiwi, I meant kiwi fruits. In French, when we say kiwi, we firstly think about the fruit but it seems like we need to add "fruit" in English for disambiguation. Sorry!

A really fun little game! I think it's fresh and funny. Now, the writing part was too slow to my taste. I couldn't use an input to fasten the writing of the text, which is really small. In other words, it didn't felt really reactive. Also, I think it's partially following the theme: You are the monster - here you aren't really. But congrats, that's a really nice concept!

I think it'd be really great in web, with a very light engine: to me, the format makes for an innovative kind of webcomic.

Oh yea, why not. My game is focused more on the story than gameplay too :)

Interesting presentation style to do it as comic panels. Were the hairs progressively more difficult to dislodge? Anyway nice animations there :)

Those were the best 2 minutes of my life. Thank you!

cute... but kiwi fruits are fuzzy too.

Aww so cute. I love is the sound effects!

pierrec 2015-08-25 20:48

Well. This is awesome.
Seriously. I love it.
I wish it was longer, it's a great idea for interactive comics!

So cute and painfull in the same time :D

Interesting idea of making half a comic half a game,;the gameplay could have been a bit more complex/harder, but I loved the jelly effect and the story.

Nice game. So nice that I search to change the first action to have an other story (but it didn't work... maybe an idea for the futur...?)

I'm in stiches

deepnight 2015-09-14 17:33

This was the strangest experience ever :)
The feeling of removing a hair was almost painful... But I have what it takes to become a Kiwi too!
