This game is a surprising gem! A very nice game full of humour and engaging gameplay.
I really, really enjoyed the use of the floppy arms as a narrative element. The use of a very small world expanding a bit each time you complete an objective is fitting perfectly to the theme.
Very good concept with attention to details! Good work!
(You can see me playing this game for the first time on the vod https://youtu.be/lXUmif8KKxM?t=20m36s )
@togis Thank you for the positive feedback, I'm glad you liked it!
Why is this fun to play? The graphics by all means look terrible but that only adds to the humor, the music is surprisingly catchy, I'm sad there isn't more of it. Hilarious game, great work.
Nice game bro... a litle confused at first, but I like solved the puzzles..
I really like the "you flap your arms at the tree" sound, ha. I enjoyed this, and played through for both endings. Good fetch-questy gameplay, and I liked your take on the small world.
The moment I saw the art for this game, I thought to myself... "oh no...". I was scared, but as I started to play, you made an incredible game, with lots of humor, and puzzle elements that were fun, even if pretty easy. The music fit the humor of the game well, and I made sure to get both endings. With everything that I enjoyed about this game this is all that I can do...
*flops arms enthusiastically*
Very funny game, I enjoyed it a lot. At first I was really annoyed by the music, but then it kind of grew on me. Same with the graphics. Thought the same as @chaseplays, but I was so wrong. This is a really cool game and I especially liked the flopping on the tree. So weird. Really nice work!
Considerably funny game, it was really entertaining.
Nice little game!
I like the overall aesthetic, and I like the music, but the loop is so short I though I was going to go insane by the halfway point (problem solved after muting).
Very cute!
You are too modest, this game has an intriguing story line.
@mars, cool game! had a good laugh playing, has a pretty addictive sense of adventure to it. Great Entry!
Had some laughs playing this, well made, didn't have any issues with movement or controls.
sometimes I didn't know what to do, but just walking around pressing space on things finally got the story to progress.
story was good although a little short, you should definitely continue the story of floppy McFloppyface :smile:
Very fun, and the music helped set the mood. McFloppyface seems a little...spazzy.
Completely bonkers, loved it.
@mars I love this game!! While I was playing I kept telling myself: what is this kind of sorcery that's keeping me here?! Is it the music? Yes, probably: it takes a genius to create a repetitive melody (my neighbours are probably hating me) you never get tired of. Or was it the "shitty programmer art"? flopping arms against everything! The engaging dialogues, the oh..look! He has a neat menu too. (No, I don't want to turn the music off). I would tell that it's the story that kept me there, but actually there was no real story. There were misteries though, all around.
Need to go back now, because I couldn't find the glass plate! Before I go you have my highest votes!
Weird but funny :) very nice story, lovely riddles and descriptions, and the simple music loop went well together with the special art style. One GigaFlop from me, at least!
Awesome game, a very tiny RPG game. Both the melody and programmer art was amusing and kept me playing the game. I couldn't find the glass plate but the overall game idea was cool. Perhaps the player could get a hint after some time has passed and the player hadn't progressed yet so that you don't get stuck on a stage. Good job!
I like the music and the funny animations, especially the floppy arms :) It was fun to play.
Well, that was... certainly something. Haha!
I like the weird art style, animation, and music. I had a surprising amount of fun playing this (I wouldn't have guessed from my first impression). Keep it up! :thumbsup:
Great job! I was firstly surprised by the graphics but it totally does the job and the character is funny. Really good job on the music! Nice Compo!
Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! I'm honestly surprised by how positive it is, when I created that soundtrack I felt like I'd made the most annoying thing ever, so I'm surprised so many of you like it!
This is a great little adventure game full of love about how nice guys finish dead.
Flopping arms to write this comment. That was.. different. Not in a bad way. The humor, programmer art and the music fitted together well. The music was pretty annoying at first but for some reason it got "better" when I played more. Thanks for the fun little game.
First i thought its a joke. Dont get me wrong. The graphics arent bad. They are just in a "childish" style. I thought you could only interact with like three objects and they tell you random texts you have set up. But i was very wrong. Cute little puzzle game (: Good Job.
This is probably the funniest game I have played this ld haha Not only because a lot of it seemed so arbitrary, but because all the stupid little messages had a real meaning. My personal favorite? "The pole says 'Won'. You flop your arms in celebration."
A little annoying were the slow walking speed/large open spaces and the occasional invisible wall where the south-west, the east and the starting plane meet, but whaddya gonna do, ey?
And of course I had to get both endings! Another point to you because the endings each made sense too :smile:
Game design-wise, the gameplay mostly encourages running around and random clicking until something happens, but the sense of intrigue makes you do it anyway. Might consider something like a second mechanic to curb the random clicking and add a little more thoughtful random clicking :D
I don't know why, but the child-like graphics were really charming :smile:
Good fun little exploration game, and I had to complete both endings - so that's a good thing. Only thing I wished for was the ability to run a little faster. It felt a little slow when going back and forth between the different places (despite how small the world was). Music got a bit repetitive, but was catchy.
Great humor, and I enjoyed flopping my arms at the tree. Good work!
The music was amazing. Also the running animations hahaha
The captions are what made it though, they were hilarious.
Nice job! I had fun playing
The most strangely compelling game I've played in the competition. Somehow, against all odds, the naive art, simplistic audio and basic gameplay come together to form something far, far greater than any of them.
IF YOU HOLD A AND D AT THE SAME TIME YOU CAN MOONWALK, THIS CHANGED MY LIFE.
Nice little exploration game! The writing was great, and I liked the clever little word puzzle too. Just had to get both endings. Nice work!
@somethinboutgames and @realitycheck did you try holding shift? That should give you some running speed. Or did you do that and still find it too slow?
pretty hilarious and i was totally engaged. had to play through to the end. the graphics and sound work with the humor of the game. i really enjoyed that puddle.
I got a good laugh out of 'you flap your arms at the tree'!
I played it until I got stuck and couldn't find the plate anywhere! Had I found the plate I would have happily kept playing, so feel free to give me a hint =)
The music was great, the graphics were spot on for this game, and the flapping arms was a really nice little touch that turned a game that would have been average at best into something weirdly special.
Thanks for making this!
So, I'm gonna just ignore the graphics, because you know everything there is to say about it already. :D (to be honest, though, it's kinda cool somehow, I mean, bad, but in a cool way)
I liked the floppy narrative a lot, and music adds to the nice silliness of the things. Wasn't able to find the second ending though. I tried replaying it and it seems you can't progress without giving away the battery, so you can't fix it yourself? It also seems strange that you can't find a battery before talking to the angry house man, but you can do everything else (except the tree) without his hints.
@mortus Actually, you can find the tree button without giving the battery to him. He tells you the tree has a secret to make you give him the battery, but now that you know it has a secret you can just keep the battery and go look closer at the tree. He doesn't need to tell you what the secret is for you to find it, just that there is a secret.
The one, two three clue was cleverly thought out. I liked playing it and it was definitely entertaining. Great effort!
@mars Huh, I didn't try that. Had to go back and get the second ending now. Space scooter looks kinda like a dickbutt though. :D
@mars I don't remember, sorry, but I just played it through again and it didn't feel too bad this time, so I probably was just dumb :grin:
Came from your blog post. I loved everything about this from the Humor perspective. the wiggly arms made me laugh the entire time.
Love it! The dialogues in combination with the ~floppy~ graphics made me chuckle a bunch. Not to mention the ending of the game.
Music, sounds, animations, a little story, and something to do—it's all there! While the game is short, everything isn't handed to you, and you'll have to poke around to figure things out, but thanks to the small world, it doesn't get frustrating the way it does in, say, Zelda I.
Nice job!
