dennis-magnusson 2022-04-03 20:20

@beardmachine Thank you very much!!! Glad you liked it!

jaune4ttendgd 2022-04-04 08:49

i love the humor, nice audio bro good game.

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-04 08:55

@jaune4ttendgd Thanks a lot for playing! :)

wavertron 2022-04-04 09:03

hahaha, well done on the "now I will transform into an Orange square...", made me laugh out loud

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-04 09:05

@wavertron Haha, yeah sometimes you have to make compromises when you can't figure out how to draw animations.

yamzho 2022-04-04 09:08

Programmer art is the best ! ;) Loved the humor/script. Well done !

ath-ai 2022-04-04 09:10

I was ready to 5 star audio and humour before the game started.

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-04 09:30

@yamzho Haha thanks! I keep telling myself that I should actually learn how to draw, but it's so difficult.

@ath-ai lol, please don't lower that grade when you realize how bad the sound effects are.

danashrulez 2022-04-04 09:32

Ahahahah! the voice acting is perfection!!! Also top notch writing! I literally laughed out loud when the mc turned himself into an orange rectangle! Funniest stuff I have ever seen!

I had fun playing the game, would have loved to seen the more later cut scenes but I guess I just need to git gud!

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-04 09:36

@danashrulez hehe, yeah I probably made the last level a bit too difficult. There is no RNG, though, so you can just learn the patterns by heart.

mnikn 2022-04-04 10:23

Cool openscene animation and the humor, enjoy playing it.

szym 2022-04-04 14:12

Nice game ! Really liked the humor ^^ The player movements are a bit zippy and take some getting used to but appart from that it's pretty fun :) Good job !

mohammad-aldehayat 2022-04-04 17:19

Seemigly i need to git gud. Amazing game thought loved every second of it that I played of course :(( Very nice everything though even the rectangle was masterfully created.

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-04 18:25

@mohammad-aldehayat Thanks haha, The last level was probably too hard, so I might just upload a video of the ending :)

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-04 19:26

@mohammad-aldehayat @danashrulez Okay I uploaded a video of the last level and the ending if you want to check it out ;)

mohammad-aldehayat 2022-04-04 20:51

@dennis-magnusson The ending is amazing but I can't imagine I can beat the game so Thank you! ^^

niclee 2022-04-04 21:22

Everything was great, especially loved the intro scene and the audio overall, super funny!

jared-lomangino 2022-04-04 21:45

The breaking of the third wall in games is something we need to see more of. Hilarious!

frabather 2022-04-05 17:57

This is really good and fun game to play. Audio is just great.

marcenat 2022-04-05 21:09

Cool music, cool jokes, weird but fun controls, overall nice game :)

taximan981 2022-04-06 11:06

Haven't had a laugh this good in a while, fun time!

sugarsugarsugar 2022-04-06 11:06

10/10 voice acting, good job!

skruffye 2022-04-06 11:55

Haven't had the time to git gud (as suggested) so I haven't seen all of it, but great job on the voice acting, and I really liked the humour! Made me laugh. :3

Might come back and see if I can't finish it later--good job!

guy-girmonsky 2022-04-06 16:00

I feel you, it IS super hard to make good arts. But I think that was the most beautiful way of avoiding it that I've ever seen. Loved the game, pretty funny. I'd make the audio stop if someone runs through the dialog, because now the audio just stacks on top of each other. But cool submission, liked it!

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-06 17:00

@guy-girmonsky Yeah, as you can probably image I was pretty annoyed with the audio stacking while developing the game, so I definitely considered doing something about it but laziness got the best of me.

flying-dog-fish 2022-04-06 18:58

This certainly isn't a game for geriatrics, it's rather hard but nothing unmanageable. Making fun of yourself was funny and meta. The voice acting was perfect.

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-06 19:05

@flying-dog-fish YOOOOOOOO! You are the first god gamer! Thank you so much for playing the game! Glad you liked it enough to beat it!

flying-dog-fish 2022-04-06 21:17

@dennis-magnusson Yeah, I was rather surprised by the fact that nobody else has beaten your game.

luthwyhn 2022-04-09 20:43

Very fun; took a lot of tries to learn the patterns for this geriatric old man, but I eventually made it through. Really appreciated the humor.

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-10 19:47

@luthwyhn YEEEAAAH! That's amazing! Thank you very much for playing!

fueelin 2022-04-12 07:42

That was really fun! Some really funny parts too! There were a lot of nice touches that made it feel good to play (the way you could advance through dialogue faster, the lights highlighting where the bullets are spawning from, etc.). One suggestion is that I think the player should have faster stopping speed. This was especially noticeable when trying to drop to a lower floor. It wasn't 'hard', but it could have been easier to make things feel smoother, if that makes sense! Nice job!

klarina 2022-04-12 11:36

Very fun game! I really like your 2D graphics and dialogues are funny too. I would increase the difficulty of the game and create as fun endings to the game as its dialogues.

lmb 2022-04-14 23:54

Very fun, well-produced, well-interpreted dialogues. Graphics on the cut scenes are very nice. Audio is super good. Not my favorite kind of gameplay, but I had fun as much as it lasted. Controls felt generally snappy, but there was one point, when staying on the top platforms, when I wanted to jump only one level down (to land near the edge of a mid-level platform), I often ended up right to the bottom level. Finally, strange to say, but it's one most geriatric games I ever played! Nice game, for making it!

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-15 05:56

@lmb OOOH YEEEEAAAAAHHH! Another god gamer! Thank you so much for enjoying my game!

jackaljk 2022-04-16 16:45

Ok so the game looks horrible and doesn't bring new ideas to the table BUT the cutscenes look great, the audio and dialogues are awesome and it's fun for those players that like a challenge. Bonus points for dissing safari, explaining the controls in a dialogue and implementing checkpoints, nice job!

tubadude99 2022-04-18 12:37

Unfortunately my animations are indeed very geriatric as well, so I totally relate to just making shapes lmao. I noticed that the bullets didn't rotate to face the direction they were going, and the slippery but sensitive movement caused some frustration, but those are really just polish things. I had a lot of fun and the three-level gameplay honestly reminded me of the Muffet fight from Undertale. On my second playthrough I think I found a god-tier strat of standing on the top platform and jumping over all the bullets. It doesn't work for the lasers but absolutely cheeses the first two levels. Also I realized if you go too fast for the dialogue all of the voice lines play together and it sounds very chaotic XD.

lilkrit 2022-04-18 13:07

You made me laugh with every dialogue line. Congrats, this is the funniest game I played this LD :D

dennis-magnusson 2022-04-18 15:24

@tubadude99 YOOO! Great job! Thanks for playing! I definitely did have some Undertale boss fights in mind when I made this game. I also noticed after playing the levels that there are quite a few ways to cheese them. My favorite was always the bottom right corner.

I think that this is may be really hard IRL. With so much diseases appeared in recent years, after COVID-19. I think medics should do better or at least do their best to help other people. Maybe that is why i've decided to become a nurse and right now i'm writting https://www.nursingpaper.com/our-services/nursing-case-study/ in order to become a real prfoessionals and try to help other people in their treatment
