All I can think about while playing this game is, what kind of lunatic made this? It's absolutely nuts!
But i'm glued to it, amazing work. :)

kewleus 2015-08-23 23:10

This was amazing. Thank you.

marksmith93 2015-08-24 02:06

Brilliant! I especially love the music.

GPASAS 2015-08-24 08:42

Well done, Michael. Its good.

gingerbill 2015-08-24 21:46

I have never seen a game like this. The game play very fun and would actually plane puzzle like this for a long time.

I found the story "moo"ving. I could have picked an "udder" joke but it spoilt the milk!

petersmyth 2015-08-25 04:18

Wow. So good, five stars all around. I love how incongruous the "game" part of your game is with the narrative. There's just the tiniest fraction of justification - the puzzle game is the machine that collects mangosteen - and that's just what this game needed. I love the sincerity of the voice acting, I love the puns, I love the art, I love the nonsense word "mangosteen", I loved it all.

Hi all, thanks for your comments!

@gingerBill: Haha, yoghurt a good sense of humour.

@petersmyth: Thanks! Mangosteen's a real thing, you know, and pretty much that powerful in real life, according to some.

i get a message "Decoding audio (this could take a minute) forever and cant play : (

warxen 2015-08-25 13:09

Fun game, liked it to see a game with some humor.

tlansdale 2015-08-25 13:23

Easily my favourite game of the competition so far. Great story, very funny, and the logic puzzles are solid. Awesome.

darius 2015-08-25 13:37

Your game is strangely addictive ! I couldn't manage it 'till the end, but the game was really cool and fun to play !

reheated 2015-08-25 13:50

@folex70: darn! what OS and browser?

logiclogue 2015-08-25 15:16

Fantastic story, very humorous. A well polished game. Really enjoyed it!

the-arrival 2015-08-25 22:18

Wow! I want more Levels. The mechanics are super fun and addictive. With the right strategy it´s very possible to get around even the more complex levels, which is key to good puzzle mechanics. So you start of with a very complex level, but the complexity reduces very nicely with every sure turn you take, which again makes other turn mandatory. It has a bit of the feeling of solving a sodoku, but the right amount of trial and error. This mechanics are a gem!

justinooncx 2015-08-26 09:49

Finished the game and got both endings. Bloody hell. I'm a monster for laughing.

literal_games 2015-08-26 09:52

Wow! A really great entry. The puzzles were just on the right side of challenging, and the story was fantastic and funny. Really great job!

bneutral 2015-08-26 09:58

Thank you, Milky!

quetzakol 2015-08-26 10:00

One of my favorite games so far ! The story is fun and well narrated. The music is very good (but a little bit depressing). The graphics are ok, and the puzzles are very interesting and challenging, it was a good idea. Very well done !

crazyminnowstudio 2015-08-26 19:34

The story was awesome..."Milky was riding his sauce..." LOL Love the puzzle dynamics. Only thing missing is some feedback sound. Great job!

petersmyth 2015-08-26 19:45

@reheated i'm sorry! it sounded like a made up word so i just assumed haha. Such a cute fruit! Very fitting for the game :^)

collaboration 2015-08-27 12:22

Excellent puzzle, really excellent, it may not match the theme so much, but it's great anyway. Love it!

nanolotl 2015-08-28 02:53

Definitely one of my favourites so far. The picture book style story telling was great (nice puns too). But the best part of the game was the puzzles. It was really satisfying figuring out a strategy, and once you knew the strategy the puzzles were still really fun, sort of like doing Sudoku.

khahem 2015-08-28 03:39

This is a fantastic entry.
You managed to create good puzzles *and* build a story around them, with two endings !
Puzzle games are quite rare this LD, this one was really good. Great job !

spotco 2015-08-28 05:59

Haha, real leaps of logic to go from the story to the actual gameplay. Still loved it though, so british

crefossus 2015-08-28 06:09

Top notch entry. Great story in just the right dose size so that it was a reward to each puzzle. Maybe missing some juice on the game part of the game - a pause for level completion, some anims along with sfx as some one else mentioned (though these hardly hurt your score...).

Theme? He gets bigger (I was expecting him to crush the other character) but is never really a monster. Although, I played the get smaller ending...

TIL mangosteens are real

grywhttl 2015-08-29 00:44

Excellent! Super good job

fanatrick 2015-08-29 00:51

Veeeeery creative, I enjoyed it, especially the humor and the general idea behind the theme. Awesome entry :D

hgcummings 2015-08-29 01:01

Wonderful, bonkers story and very satisfying puzzles in the gameplay. Kept me engaged all the way to the end.

killersnoofie 2015-08-29 04:35

very good

ehtd 2015-08-29 04:38

I like the idea of story/puzzle Could not make it to the end, but it was very good.

Shadow 2015-08-29 04:55

Quite a cute and fun game! Loved it :)

The puzzles were well designed and fun to solve. Only had a bit of trouble with one of the first 3 levels (if I recall correctly), the rest had pretty intuitive solutions.

As some other people have pointed out, the connection between the story and the gameplay is rather weak, but it's REALLY rare to see a pure puzzle game with a story that makes sense with the gameplay, honestly, so it's not a a problem for me.

Really well executed, loved the humor and the graphics. A fine entry indeed!

cheesyramen 2015-08-29 05:15

Great puzzle mechanics, great story, great work!
One of my favourites so far in this jam =)

el_cabaro 2015-08-29 05:27

The logic puzzle bit is actually pretty brilliant, though I got stuck pretty early on as I'm wont to do. I liked the voice actor.

panda 2015-08-29 06:55

I played to both endings! Very fun game, and I loved the cutscenes! Beautiful :)

randoman 2015-08-29 22:47

Great game! I love puzzle games, thanks for the post you made with a list of them!

darklightteam 2015-09-01 13:46

Wow! Really nice entry. I loved the levels, they are very cleverly designed. Congratulations on this one.

riadelva 2015-09-01 13:51

really nice puzzles!
and funny story ^^

testsubject06 2015-09-01 14:27

This is a great little puzzle game, I liked the challenge of the final level!

tselmek 2015-09-01 14:40

Loved this game, the story and the graphics are really charming. The puzzle mechanics are well found and they have a bit of Sokobond feels to them. The levels became insanely hard very fast, I had to search some hints in the timelapse in order to progress in the story. Nice take on the theme. The 2 endings were very funny, congrats!

ohsqueezy 2015-09-01 15:46

What an awesome mechanic! I could play hundreds of these puzzles!

shaunlebron 2015-09-01 16:16

take all of my 5's. uniquely fresh

unclechris 2015-09-01 17:15

This was amazing. Loved it very, very much. One of the best games I have played. I haven't finished but, oh my heavens I will. :)

rafaella 2015-09-06 03:04

Good, addicting game! :D

tayl1r 2015-09-10 13:13

Really nice. Funny, well presented, and a pretty fun game too!
