Loved the commentary :) Collisions could use some work a bit but for a first time jammer very well done!

timeshapers 2018-12-03 09:58

I haven't laughed this hard in a while thanks!

wongkongphooey 2018-12-03 10:03

Great first attempt at a jam game! It's a nice take on the theme and the commentary prompts are a really nice touch! Well done!

Little thing: In future, add a button to restart a level if possible!

shendev 2018-12-03 10:09

Can't believe I forgot to do that @wongkongphooey thank you for the tip! I'm glad you liked it @timeshapers @nolic0321 thank you!!

Amazing commentary makes me sad that it is as short as it is. It also shows that you don't need great graphics to tell a story. Overall great entry!

arthur-baars 2018-12-03 11:26

Hahah amazing work! A bit buggy but after the game was finished I was so depressed nothing even mattered anymore.

jk5000 2018-12-03 11:32

A very simple and funny little game. The best part of the game was the funny/weird story. Well done.

shendev 2018-12-03 12:36

@jk5000 @arthur-baars Thank you for the comments! It's great that you enjoyed it <3

shendev 2018-12-03 12:38

@ninja00283 I wanted to do more levels, I had so many in mind! And introduce more friends! It's a pitty I ran out of time, thank you for playing it :)

drikdrok 2018-12-03 13:16

Nooo how could you make me kill Henry!!

This is so sad, 10/10 would kill Henry again. Great first entry man, the movement was slightly buggy though :)

beta 2018-12-03 14:20

RIP HENRY FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

shendev 2018-12-03 14:59

@drikdrok Yeah that was a known issue and couldn`t find a propper solution to it :( thank you for the feedback and for playing! (Sorry for making you kill Henry, didn't have time to make a "good ending" haha)

shendev 2018-12-03 15:00

marcellus 2018-12-03 16:15

Nice first entry dear fellow construct 2 user ;)

binroot 2018-12-03 16:24

Witty, fun, and silly. I enjoyed the hand-hold tutorial-like experience

fernando-tonon-de-rossi 2018-12-03 17:02

Wtf! u r a fucking genius! :laughing: I liked most the way u constructed the characters and created their relationship. I think a funeral would be appropriated at the end! :sweat_smile:

tornoz 2018-12-03 17:37

Nice little platformer. Big "Thomas was alone" vibe that I really like :) Collision with henry was a bit buggy and i couldn't move henry at the level with the spikes maybe I missed something...

dunin 2018-12-03 17:47

Funny but horrible little game...

Collisions could be improve, there's a lot of tutorials about it, and it's pretty easy with squares. Maybe for a post-jam version?

sapphiris 2018-12-03 20:11

Nice, though I got stucked when Henry appeared just in the place I were in the stage with spikes.

shendev 2018-12-03 21:48

@sapphiris It's fixed now! Thank you for telling me! @tornoz Henry was stuck at the spikes, as long as you can reach the other side using him as a platform, should be fine!

shendev 2018-12-03 21:51

@nolic0321 @dunin @drikdrok @arthur-baars Movement and collisions should be smooth and working fine now, thank you for the feedback!

@wongkongphooey Implemented the restart button! Thank you man.

shendev 2018-12-03 21:52

@marcellus @binroot @fernando-tonon-de-rossi Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)

simonthecase 2018-12-03 22:17

@shendev Great game! You should add link to this page from itch!

shendev 2018-12-03 22:35

@simonthecase Done! Thanks :)

adventureislands 2018-12-04 00:31

This was a funny entry, nice use of theme. I thought the game was bugged for a second in the level with spikes, but falling to spikes myself seems to have triggered being able to move Henry again.

carlosvvk 2018-12-04 00:43

Henry was my BFF and you made me kill him... Love u GJ GOOD GAME

xesenix 2018-12-04 01:30

Shit happens move on :D I love that humor simple but effective. Great first compo entry.

lontrus 2018-12-04 02:36

I laughed.

gerardb 2018-12-04 03:14

Original, entertaining and fun. Can't really ask for more. Physics are a bit funky and graphics could be better. But still, the game itself is amazing. Congrats!

shendev 2018-12-04 11:51

@adventureislands Yeah, the events are heavily scripted, so if you skip some steps, sometimes it's a little bit weird. Thank you for passing by and commenting! Loved you game :)

shendev 2018-12-04 11:51

@carlosvvk Thank you handsome boii

shendev 2018-12-04 11:52

@lontrus I'm glad!! @gerardb I uploaded new version with overall better movement and less weird physics, thank you for the feedback, glad you liked it!

sodaro 2018-12-05 00:57

This was one of the funnier games I've played so far! Great use of the theme imo :smile:

shendev 2018-12-05 02:45

@sodaro Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)

wie 2018-12-05 14:22

Super fun and innovative! Controls are a bit off though, especially jumping. Also the tutorial, while it is really well made and helpful, sometimes restrict doing some things. Like i had figured out that i had to drag henry to the spikes, i couldn't do that until the tutorial told me to. Also the collision with the crushing wall sometimes worked weirdly. Great job though!

shendev 2018-12-05 18:32

@wie Hi! I tried to do a guided experience and in some cases like the one you are commenting ended being a little bit weird. In theory I wanted to give more freedom for posterior levels but I ran out of time. Thank you for playing and the feedback! Cheers :)

honey 2018-12-05 23:04

Hey, very solid entry. Collisions definitely could use some fiddeling - when I went too close to wall (or Henry), I wasn't able to jump. Nice touch with the story, though you probably should have been less explicit about what is going to happen with Henry. Or not, depends what you were going for. Still pretty solid basis for next jams, definitely keep it up! Looking forward to next submissions of yours!

shendev 2018-12-05 23:52

@honey While I was doing the game I was like, "I've been programing this for one whole day and the theme is nowhere to be seen yet, people are gonna get bored before they see anything related to it!" So I wrote that sentence at the intro. Then, it turned out that my whole day of programming was like 5 minutes of gameplay, so... yeah, I was worried for nothing haha. Collisions really gave me trouble, I've managed to improve them but I'm still not happy. Thank you for the feedback, I like to read new things, hope to see you again too <3

wugbor 2018-12-06 23:55

Great use of theme, great use of humor. Congrats on the first compo!

awix 2018-12-07 08:17

An interesting game with a kind of mechanics. I put a rating) Please rating and me, thanks in advance)

shendev 2018-12-08 14:58

@wugbor Thanks for playing :)

2018-12-17 17:25

Cute story! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/kK0cQutPhIg

shendev 2018-12-20 16:03

@jupiter-hadley Thank you for playing, I appreciate it! You were really close to finish it :)
