Great game. Music is good, game is simple but fun, and I love how there was a change up in the game to keep it fresh. Love the mini story you put in as well.

Fun game, good music

weirdly interesting game

At first I honestly thought you were putting in a tutorial in the form of a basic story and that was it but the fact that you came back and continued it! That was awesome! loved the music and the fact that you tied the controls into the story a bit! Everything about this was great!

Really fun! The lobby music has a really laid back feel. I could just leave it on while I code. I like how the levels are broken up by a little story. Good show!

Didn't expect that narrative. Pretty good!

I can see so many pixels lol... Honestly it was so low resolution it was a little distracting. I am not going to lie: I skipped all the text. But I did actually play the game. It was aight.

Fun one, I liked it, it was fun! And it's always cool to have dialogues in a game :)

ogniok 2015-12-15 08:57

You should make a mobile game out of it. :D

40! I've never really seen a story put in a game like that. It was quite enjoyable I loved the pixel art. A nicely polished game

The machine evolving as you played was a cool addition.

There are a couple of things that I loved about this game. First, the music is just plain awesome!! Then the actual story with the personages.. So tricky to get right in 2-3 days but I loved what you guys did with the kids who grow up, the arcade getting old, etc. there's some sort of very familiar warm feeling about playing those old games :) The game with the dog in itself felt like it was a bit too simple and repetitive. Other than that, I just loved this. Thanks!

Fun game, I liked it but i miss some tutorial ingame or something

deusroffe 2015-12-16 13:37

the cinematics were great! Overall a fun game.

multiplexor 2015-12-16 23:26

Really well done! The game itself is nice but what really hooked me was the story! I liked the character development! Keep up the good work! :)

reccy 2015-12-16 23:26

Really good music and fun gameplay.
Nice entry :)

Very good game, mechanics are simple but work well, and it fits both themes in interesting ways. Good job!

crucknuk 2015-12-17 00:42

Funny entry. I like the fact that you put a story in your game, but I had to feeling that my character kept growing even if I ate hot dogs (despite it's written I'm suppose to shrink if i eat one). Anyway, good job ;)

hulkhandsome 2015-12-17 02:56

@crucknuk

The hotdogs do shrink the player, but only a little! The best strategy for the first level is to run as much as possible while eating hotdogs to keep yourself the smallest size for as long as you can.

diventurer 2015-12-17 11:35

Hehe, it's a fun game. Not something you play for long, but it is certainly a decent entry.

radmccool 2015-12-17 11:36

The wee cut scene bits were cool. The dog's bark made me lol

catonmars 2015-12-17 23:27

Fun game! The storyline is good!

inbetweengames 2015-12-17 23:32

Good game, loved the story. Technically 6 buttons, but i liked how the story removed the buttons!

Getting an error, unfortunately. Here's the error, if it helps: http://d.pr/i/14Geg

Thanks for giant dog and for Purple Flag joke :)

primitiveconcept 2015-12-21 18:39

This was a solid entry. I loved the "story-mode" to the game and I liked how each time you played it was a little bit different. Great work!

pzeronow 2015-12-26 20:05

Whoever made this is a fucking genius. On a side note, it'd be better if the control movement were a bit more responsive but I also understand it might be a question of style. Good job!

kanedaxiii 2015-12-28 09:09

Fun game-play and interesting balancing of game mechanics. Has cool pixel-art too, and fits great in both themes. I find it awesome it has several stages with increasing difficulty and with a back history ;D

onlyslightly 2015-12-31 02:27

That was a wonderful game! The story was really sweet and great way to attach both the gameplay mechanic and story that framed it all to the theme. The sound effects were also super cute! Was the sound of the dog eating the hotdog you saying 'game jam'? Loved it :)

nodens 2015-12-31 02:32

Really enjoyed the narrative you used to build a world around your game. The sound is pretty great as well.

Interesting game, Good job!
