Kind interactive story with сheerful moody music.
Great humor, as always!
"Me or the painting?" :D

Absolutely hilarious, both in execution and adaption of the theme.

Definitvely the best story I came across so far!

Lovely game.

Awesome adoption of the theme.

Great story.

Love those graphics (only the high definition font looked a bit odd to me).

Kudos

Liked it a lot!! A very inspiring story! And i have a weak spot for happy endings :)!

Great Mood and Humor! Keep up the good work! :D

Quite a fun little story. I loved the graphic style.
Well done.

That was a very sweet little game. You guys said a whole lot with a little. Well done!

Nice little interactive narrative. Shame there isn't a category for narrative, or I'd have rated you highly in that.
Not much gameplay, but it was a nice, uplifting take on the theme.
Good job! ^^

This was a great little story. I had fun clicking on all the little objects. It made me chuckle a couple times too, so you guys get props for that. I think if you wanted to you could extend this idea and publish it if you wanted!

Great story! Enjoyed it! :)

Nice entry :) No issues, and a few minutes of good fun! Not the most innovative game, but a solid fun one

chatpion 2016-04-20 18:51

Aww, that was lovely !

hawksandwich 2016-04-20 18:53

It was more of a comic than a game, but still a good.. Erm, thing

mieeh 2016-04-20 18:59

Wow, that was amazing, emotional and fun! Great job! And good take on the theme.

Well it ain't a Big Cow Studios game without some of that trademark Big Cow Studios humour ;) Anyway, I loved the subtle tv/film references and the ending was rather sweet.

Nice story! good game

It kept my attention, but I don't think this was my kind of humor. It was a sweet enough narrative, but the player didn't have to struggle at all as much as just turn the next page. Thus, the protagonist's eventual victory did not feel well-earned either. It had all the arc of a good story, circling back to the beginning, ending in a hug ... the story just didn't do it for me.

Wow thats great feedback terryg! You are right the payoff is greater if the player/protagonist has to struggle more. And Im sorry that we didnt make it feel like enough of a struggle for the payoff to work for you. Effectively the struggle is elicited by the father in the basement and the first round of scenes where he keeps failing before he gains the strength to fight back. We'll make sure to incorporate your feedback into our next project. Anyway glad it at least kept your attention :) Thanks for playing.

Great game, and the ending was sweet. It could've been a bit longer but still a very enjoyable experience.

llucile 2016-04-22 00:16

Really nice interactive story !
I wished there was a bit more interactivity though.

celia14 2016-04-22 23:20

Oh man, what an enjoyable game. The art and writing are both full of great humor, and I really like the structure of working you way back through the different TV shows and kicking butt. :D

leo_p_mahon 2016-04-23 16:13

Excellent game, really enjoyed the narrative. Now if you will excuse me I need to call my dad.

pixelpotions 2016-04-27 15:31

The best story, one of the best mood... I'm crying...
Thank you for this entry, really <3

axoona 2016-04-29 14:24

so sweet :)
great audio and very nice graphics, I liked the story as well, could be just a little bit more interactive but I'm just trying to find a weak spot ;)

rock-eaters 2016-05-01 21:52

nice looking and plenty of fun, i just wish to not hug my dad at the end and hug the model instead :p

konwlege 2016-05-07 10:04

Quite funny game, although not my type of game.

shatley123 2016-08-24 17:18

Really nice game. My only criticism is that maybe there should have been a bit more interactivity.
