Nice work in only tree days

peachtreeoath 2016-04-19 08:34

I lol'd as soon as the first shift happened.

fatsopanda 2016-04-19 08:35

Lot of great humour and an amazing amount of content for a jam game :)

adipson 2016-04-19 09:32

pixel arts is good for us ! :) nice works

psychomonster 2016-04-19 10:00

Good content, nice story and a fine use of the theme. I enjoyed it :)

dannyg59 2016-04-19 10:03

I absolutely love this game :) will be coming back to try and finish it tonight for sure!

munchy2007 2016-04-19 10:03

Made me laugh, Marlo made a cute cat! I loved his backchat too! Good stuff :)

pavel_insight 2016-04-19 10:06

Hahahaha!
Nice to see a point&click adventure on LD. )

caporaltito 2016-04-19 10:09

Hilarious XD

Nicely done. A lot of story to this game. The puzzles was a bit too hard for me but I rarely play these types of games,

brainybeard 2016-04-19 12:49

Interesting game man, i'm not sure what I should be doing other than observing all of the amazing head :P crazy that you got so much done in just 48 hours. Super productive clearly xD

grooveman 2016-04-19 15:27

Really complete and well-executed! It took me a moment to get the 'logic' of the game down (why can't I get into the shower as the cat, or just dump the salt directly on the slug?) but once I got into your mindset it played really smoothly.

The music and graphics worked great together, but the jokes were sometimes hit and miss. The absurdity of the premise is hilarious; Marlo being really bitter about his wife (for seemingly no reason?) is less so.

linus123xbb 2016-04-20 08:25

Great game, very humoristic and as soon as shape shift I lol

marod 2016-04-20 08:30

That point and click style made me. Nice work and graphics!

vethan 2016-04-20 09:16

This was fun! I ended up getting stuck with the shark though :(

ithildin 2016-04-20 16:51

Brilliant take on the theme, well-rounded and funny game. Great job!! :D

ayawaska 2016-04-21 02:27

Cool idea and great use of it!

spiritjzl 2016-04-21 03:10

First full mark that I gave

fafastudio 2016-04-21 13:25

Quite schyzophrenic but really nice game :) Love the pixel art ! simple and effective

jni 2016-04-21 13:26

Nice story and good content!

umu 2016-04-21 14:17

I really enjoyed that. Very nicely polished and cute idea for an adventure game. I really enjoyed the writing. Couple of problems of the "frigging adventure games" variety:

Why can I only fill the spray bottle from the bathroom sink?
Why do I need to drink salt water to get rid of the slug instead of just dumping salt on myself?
Why doesn't smoking remove the ice guy?
Why can't I dump salt on the ice guy?
Do you know how hard it is to punch yourself in the face (but at least we had a good clue for that one)?

I still really enjoyed it.

@nintendoeats

Thanks for the nice review! Lemme try to answer your questions though most of the answers could easily be cause it's a fringing adventure game! Haha.

1) it was meant to be fillable from both taps, we forgot to change the hotspot for the kitchen.
2) because that would have been too easy :p
3) the cigarettes alone wouldn't melt him, maybe if he had a lighter too...
4) good point, I didn't think of that haha.
5) do you know how hard it is being a shark everyday? I'd punch myself in the face!

Thanks so much for playing and understanding the stupid logic that go hand and hand with these games.

Nice humorous content. I love the music too. Lovely submit.

ultravioleta 2016-04-22 02:52

Gran juego! genial la idea y el humor

madmarcel 2016-04-23 11:36

Love it, well done.

2016-04-23 18:17

A nice and fun game, with a very well executed idea, considering the short time available for developing. Well done!

local-minimum 2016-04-24 13:41

To decide to make a point and click for LD and actually finishing it, is rather impressive. Nice work. I managed to get rid of one of personalities but the cat refused be afraid of water/I couldn't shower it off and ice wouldn't be hair-dried. But that's the sort of issues tend to be part of the point and click genre as a whole and not particular to your game.

Though the effect of how the text was written was cool it was really quite impossible to read while it was writing since the positions kept getting updated.

Other than that a really nice entry.

smbe19 2016-04-24 14:51

Love the humor. Amazing game!

2016-04-26 17:18

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

rock-eaters 2016-05-01 07:18

I was blocked at some points but fortunately the hints in the comments helped to advance forward.

rodobodolfo 2016-05-05 04:16

@randomhuman there is no password! or maybe you discovered just a half of it...

satyre 2016-05-05 14:46

Nice one I like the plopping and random transformation xD

randomhuman 2016-05-09 11:13

@rodobodolfo He said there was no last letter, but before that he said ROD. I think? Was a while ago I played it. You trying to make me play it through again? ;) I already gave you all of the stars, I have no more stars to give!

sabina-lis 2016-05-09 18:10
