I chain slaughtered Chain Reaction. Hilarious!

gafblizzard 2015-08-24 08:23

Kind of hilarious and kind of reflects my own feelings.

peterthehe 2015-08-24 09:16

A lovely take on LD life. I can relate to it on *almost* every level (including FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU)

LudumDare Simulator 2015. 5/5 on Humor

danialias 2015-08-24 15:01

Haha, that was nice. TIME WARP! Now I can try a different route (and hopefully anger Crowbeak to level 8 :D)

10/10, would play again.

ptsnoop 2015-08-24 19:14

Well, that was... refreshingly meta.

hissssssssss 2015-08-25 02:10

I was pretty stubborn about insisting the narrator is stubborn.

wg_phancock 2015-08-25 04:47

Hahaha So.very.meta.

I think you proved that all of us are monsters for voting for this theme.

tuism 2015-08-25 06:02

So meta, great writing! :)

There are a few great tidbits of info in there, and I liked the way your choices seemed to matter, which is a great thing for a text adventure. Sounds were great, and the emoticons were excellent too.

Seems to be quite a deep branch! Gotta check it out again :)

cowboycolor 2015-08-25 06:22

Oh my gawsh :D

madjackmcmad 2015-08-25 08:35

Murder Chain Reaction over and over again!

jelinib 2015-08-25 08:42

Funny and yet insightful! Especially since I'm new to Ludum Dare, this helped me learn more about its history. The emoticons did their jobs very well--very creative! Glad I played this. Thanks!

ruerob 2015-08-25 10:48

Thank you for this game! I like how it takes up some little things which happen every LD. Like the screaming about the 'bad' theme.

cheesyramen 2015-08-25 11:20

I really enjoyed this! Makes for a good introduction to those new to Ludum Dare!
Also, it made me feel like a monster for constantly trolling the narrator ;)

unclechris 2015-08-25 19:11

I really liked your point of view, such a cool way to play with the themes and being a "monster" about them. Thanks!

sparrow 2015-08-25 20:36

*claps*
I laughed so hard at this! Great job!

hdong 2015-08-25 23:15

That was quite enjoyable and thought-provoking. Turned out to be way deeper than I expected. I'm new to Ludum Dare and I found this quite informational as well. Nice game!

shackhal 2015-08-25 23:37

Refreshing game. I can only thinks that the theme is referring as the one who plays the game. After all, we are the monsters who choose the theme hahaha.

Of course, the graphics are below average, but you don't care about that, right? Anyways, it was fun. I only rage you to 6 on the second play. First was 1. After all, I'm a veteran too xD

Overall, the game passes.

squarepug 2015-08-26 10:12

Ha this made me smile. I actually "played" it twice to go on a different journey thru it, you've put a surprising amount of depth in it :D

nikteddy92 2015-08-26 15:43

What da.. Ok I got it!
(epic chain reaction joke lol)
(I agree with you, I don't really like this theme but in the end I found a nice idea! :D)
BTW funny entry! ;D

defacid 2015-08-26 21:04

A good attempt at a meta-anti-theme-game but some of the colors/images were really off-putting and that sound was horrible and loud haha

I think the theme is okay - definitely not one of the ones I wanted to win, but ehhh...

arthg 2015-08-26 23:17

So grumpy. So old.

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-08-28 06:42

Hahaha so true.

el-pepi 2015-08-30 00:28

Amazing. The most original "game" I have seen on this compo.

Shadow 2015-08-30 01:07

hahahaha, This is pretty much every LD ever.
It's a very well put together "simulator" though. Loved the time warp and the player-narrator interactions.

I'm glad you still made this game despite not liking the "theme" because this was hilarious! Made me smile a damn lot for sure. Nice job!

wuballiance 2015-09-01 16:04

Fun little web game! 5/5 for humor, some of the comments actually made me laugh out loud. The ASCII art was awesome, and the sound effects were a nice touch. Very enjoyable entry, I played through several times to get all the endings. Nice job!

alobker 2015-09-03 09:26

"Yes, you are." x57 before I gave up

xanjos 2015-09-03 10:50

This was so enjoyable to play through. Loved all the meta-references to Ludum Dare itself (Also maybe I should start taking a gander at the irc channnel at some point).

perecil 2015-09-03 11:58

You monster! I just had a nightmare that the theme was "You're the monster" and... :D

gameproducer 2015-09-03 19:24

Heh, fun little ludum dare simulator :) Plenty of options to go through. I actually liked the graphics a lot :D

boardtobits 2015-09-04 17:47

Interesting. Very meta, obviously, but entertaining. Clever to include stats at the end.

rodobodolfo 2015-09-05 08:09

Very clever! As I was playing I was thinking of the comments to leave arguing that the theme was different enough and open to interpretation but in the end you allowed me to do that in game! Great work!

zncatlaw 2015-09-11 22:06

I rate this very highly! At first I was playing because I thought "pfft, what does this old-timer have to say about the theme! It's a great theme!" but you actually made a very nice, friendly, compelling game with lots of "team spirit" and stuff. Good job! You're a real Ludum Dareling!

triplevisiongames 2015-09-12 20:55

I made the narrator angry...

I'm just happy I managed to finish a game for this theme! My 'You Are The Villain' entry was rubbish.

gafblizzard 2015-09-15 16:18

I'm glad this got #14 humor, nice work. :P
