Good start, very charming. I'm concerned that the player's green shoes may not be humongous enough though.

shockk 2016-12-12 22:57

I spent an excessive length of time in this game, just trying to figure out if the numbers mean anything. I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT and it's driving me insane. I tried all sorts of combinations with the phone and the door but couldn't get it.

wujood 2016-12-12 23:02

@Shockk He said he should read his diary ... maybe this helps? ;)

imphenzia 2016-12-12 23:10

Hey, nobody was picking up when I dialed 911 =) Like how this brought some memories back from the era of point click adventures. I tried the numbers that I could find on the level to open the door but was unable to. I also tried some obvious ones like 1337 etc. I need to have another stab at it. The music had a bit of a repeat on it so it would have been nice if it had been just a tad longer. Liked the comedy of the updates still installing as you woke up :) Nice work!

wujood 2016-12-12 23:23

*Hint* I think you all need Jesus ... is what your granny would say. If only you had her number.. *Hint ends*

kddekadenz 2016-12-12 23:36

Really need a walktrough for this !) Great game with a very charming humor :D

simonhutchinson 2016-12-13 00:29

Cool. I got stuck on "Insert" though, just when the going was good.

wujood 2016-12-13 00:31

You can fix that by clicking inside the Input Field

xclementx 2016-12-13 01:31

I was stuck too... Fun to play :)

ranner198 2016-12-13 02:01

Yo, I got a question. Whats up with this guys socks? is he a size 36? XD P.S. Fun game!

schrunkin 2016-12-13 02:03

Got stuck at "insert", but really cool! I like the idea of exploring a room to find out who you are. Liked how you guided the player to the bookshelf in the beginning. One negative thing: the looping music is really short. You can hear it very clearly as it loops and it quickly becomes monotenous. Will try later to see if i can get past the message that says insert :)

wujood 2016-12-13 02:20

i fixed those "insert"-stuck bugs now :)

themonsterfromthedeep 2016-12-13 02:27

I couldn't really figure out what to do. I tried concatenating a whole bunch of numbers to get "64351521298" but that didn't do anything.

madlee 2016-12-13 02:27

Nice style, very intriguing! I wasn't sure what to do with the "INSERT" pop-ups though. Great job on your first ludum dare!

spab 2016-12-13 02:34

Old Point n click games bring me right back! Really enjoyed the Art Style and the humorous setting!

peachtreeoath 2016-12-13 02:39

I have tried every combination but the right one. I like the concept though!

lucas-knutson 2016-12-13 03:22

I really like the graphics!

laylow 2016-12-13 03:23

Wow, very difficult. I think I'm just slow though, seems everyone else got pretty far. I like the art and music though

Nice game! Very charming and has some good humor in it. I couldn't find grannies number though :/

alexanderk 2016-12-13 06:13

Hard to find number. Please add improved ambient music.

tkachov 2016-12-13 06:51

Nice graphics, but the numbers... Interested in how the game goes, tried a lot of combinations of found numbers, but didn't make it.

wujood 2016-12-13 16:11

Made it slightly easier for you guys to solve the first puzzle :)

allwoodgamedev 2016-12-13 16:27

i tried dialing 911 for help... nobody answered...

bigoss73 2016-12-13 16:45

The music and graphics are great, the puzzles seem pretty hard, but that's probably just me because I always sucked at point-and-click adventures and similar games :D

2016-12-13 18:54

That composer guy seems like a decent dude.

versatilebox 2016-12-13 21:05

Been playing it for a long time and couldn't solve the puzzle.
I like it, it made me laugh, I liked the references to other things such as Star Wars or Full House, but sadly I don't think either the puzzle is too hard or it's not a good one.
Loved the graphics, liked the music, admired the character's socks.
Also... is that weed upstairs?

EDIT: Managed to get grandma's number and it was useless. What's happening!

wujood 2016-12-13 21:17

Calling granny will change your view of some things that become important!

mighty-buxx 2016-12-13 21:45

Nice one, pretty neat graphics.

ariake81 2016-12-13 23:08

love them big shoes! good humor too! :)

stuffedgravy 2016-12-14 00:45

I enjoyed what I could of the puzzles, but got stuck after the first one. I would suggest a link that has a quick walkthrough for people looking to review the game! Of what I saw though, I enjoyed the humor and the puzzles seemed satisfying (911 was pretty crucial for solving the first, wish it kept giving you hints). The audio started getting a bit repetitive, but I don't think it's intrusive enough to get on anyone's nerves. This is one of the few game that I've seen that actually engaged with the theme outside of "we only coded one room"!

otso-turpeinen 2016-12-14 01:49

Solid, Managed to figure out the grama's number but the random passage in diary got me stumped.

2bit 2016-12-14 06:41

Poor granny, I guess I'll never call her, at least I can climb faster than I can walk - like way faster.

rodobodolfo 2016-12-14 10:48

Love the simple pixel art style and humour. The Full House joke made me laugh, haha.

I almost gave up but then it clicked. I solved the first puzzle and like any good point and click I felt brainy figuring it out. But the second puzzle, I just couldnt quite figure out the number, thought I had it a few times but in the end I had to quit. But I will return and solve it!

The music on the second puzzle is pretty good too. Nice work!

rainssong 2016-12-14 12:10

Winner is a shit? lol ,nice work

erikiene 2016-12-14 12:44

Didn't manage to complete the game but can say it's fun and well designed!

Might be due to me not finishing but who's on the roof?

kyrv19 2016-12-14 15:07

Graphics are sometimes buggy, peeking through floor; reminds me of McPixel

frantos 2016-12-14 20:16

Great game! Really liked it, played it for a while, but I can't seem to unravel the second puzzle... first one was easy enough. Either way, great job on your first Ludum Dare!

titomakanijr 2016-12-14 21:36

That ladder sure is CRAZY! I was digging the pixel art for sure, lol those shoes might be a little big though! Good job on the game guys!

2016-12-14 22:18

Am I the first to complete this game?

Btw, I noticed the thing wujood, how creepy! I wish I could have uncovered THAT mystery.

nikteddy92 2016-12-15 11:36

Nice and charming entry!
Well done!

p.s. too big shoes xD

oddityoverseer 2016-12-15 17:49

Good game. I finally figured out Granny's number. I read the clock wrong. *doh!* I couldn't figure out the next number.

bigbuggames 2016-12-16 00:09

Spent several minutes playing, couldn't find the telephone number!! I'm feeling stupid LOL! Where's my diary!!! GODDAMNNNNN!!!!

bemmu 2016-12-17 16:54

Best entry I've tried so far. I could see myself really getting obsessed with solving the puzzle, but had to wrestle myself away to go on with my real life!

masterkrepta 2016-12-18 04:18

Great pixel art and humor. Loved the framed award winning poop hung on the wall.. who does that? I loved the layering to add to the sense of depth of the graphics, it was a small detail, but I enjoyed it. Definitely got stuck, and would love to come back when i'm less drowsy to try and figure this game out.

kidando 2016-12-18 06:43

I wasn't able to figure out what to do. I tried some number combinations but no clue. Interesting concept though. Congrats on submitting your entry

powerspark 2016-12-18 07:17

Couldn't figure out what to do after the "rabbit hole", sorry D:
Please just maybe start off with a few easier puzzles because I was almost just going to give up on the grandma's phone number, which most people will do. Keep building this game though, it's interesting.

jacktheogre 2016-12-18 13:39

Awesome. I haven't played a lot point-and-click games. I love he humour in the game. Yeah, as people have mentioned, would be nice if there was an opportunity to get anoher clue once you're stuck.

rplnt 2016-12-18 13:56

I like the music, has certain Birdman vibe to it. Graphics are great, puzzles were engaging, but as many I wasn't able to progress far enough (rabbit hole was my end).

boltkey 2016-12-19 03:06

That's it, I give up. I got into the rabbit hole and got stuck...

Really great entry. Atmospheric, nice graphics, great audio. The controls felt a bit clunky though, but that is not what the game is about so it's k.

sinclairstrange 2016-12-19 11:32

Overall, really difficult but well made game. It's a game I'm going to definitely come back too! Great work!

darkdaragon77 2016-12-19 18:08

This game is the best game I played so far, but it contains of only out of 3 Puzzles, which are way to hard. Still very creative game, which made a lot of fun to play.

Spoiler:
If you got stuck on the third puzzle as well: You have to work with the ToDo list.

dssiege11 2016-12-20 20:59

Really funny game though I was not able to find the numbers for the phone or door ^^' Well done though :)

ddrkirbyisq 2016-12-25 05:17

So close! But couldn't finish the last puzzle.

The way the guy climbs the ladder is unreasonably amusing to me =P

2016-12-26 23:46

Really cool game and really hard too!
The last puzzle is really really hard!
But I did solve it =)

tortoise 2016-12-27 06:45

art is nice and consistent and it felt like it could be the start to a larger game.

ema1ih 2016-12-28 20:14

I didn't get the number thing but it's an intriguing little game.

jupiter_hadley 2016-12-29 17:00

Neat game. I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/hYD1PzuDX-0

samuelsousa 2016-12-29 18:39

Very intriguing . Nice music could be a little longer. Not to found on the pixel art colors.
And those shoes? Nah, non important. Cliimbing the ladder was strange.

I got stuck on after granny and reading the bible and trying to use those numbers to open the door.

Spend around 15 minutes on it ... that's got mean something.

A cool entry nonetheless!

seconddimension 2016-12-30 20:12

I got to the Rabbit Hole part, I knew I had to use the numbers by the pictures, then cat and then radio, but there were too many numbers by the pictures. I tried a lot of different combinations but couldn't get one to work, there's probably another part of it that I'm missing. I liked the atmosphere of the rabbit hole section, and the first 2 puzzles felt like a good difficulty to me

oddly-shaped-pixels 2017-01-01 19:12

Couldn't find the 7 digits number but I got really addicted by the game. Really well written also, the right kind of humour, nice job for your first participation, keep up the good work!
