Nothing by mollymus 2013-05-11T17:57:00

Great game! I didn't get all the way through the end, but I didn't think it was as hard as everyone said. Once you discover how to "game" the A button, it becomes a lot more manageable! I got to the third level and went "WHAT" and then after trying and experimenting got through fine. Although it did seem to glitch if I rolled then paused to let the thing following me get in front... Anyways, loved the music and graphics (even started humming it during the game), and the poem seemed nice from what I saw of it. Overall, great job!!

At first I was like, "Aw man, not another word game thing". But I played it, and really enjoyed it! You had me laughing out loud at some points, and some other points were great reflective moments. From one RPSer to another, great job. (Nice pixel art btw!)

Was a bit random, but the artwork was very very pretty. It made me jealous :P Great mood though, even if the items were random. No clue what the head was for, aside from making funny noises in the [redacted].

Thanks for the feedback! To be honest, it was supposed to be hard in the beginning so that the ending felt more... wild? But I may have overdone it, I didn't have that much time for balancing (birthday dinner with the family got in the way :P ). Thanks for playing!

I'm glad you guys like it :). ddionisio, more guys should have randomly spawned outside your view, even if you haven't attacked anyone yet, to keep the chance that there's always someone lower than you high... It seems to have worked when I played, but I may have screwed something up :P If you want to try to beat it, my suggestion would be to load it up again and if you ever run out of people, just wander around until you find more. Thanks for playing though! And feel free to encourage others to play :P Would anyone be interested in a multiplayer version?

Also, gonna edit the info to make this clear, my 13 year old brother did the art, not me, mine would have been horrible :P

ZYXer, to be clear, I'm not supporting bullying in any form, that's why the bully doesn't get either girl in the end. :p and that's what you're supposed to do! The gray people are the ones you bully, signifying they're weaker than you. As you bully more, more people become gray. The point of silhouetting them was to kinda be a metaphor for when people bully they kind of Dont think of people as a person. Kind of an obscure metaphor to be honest. :). Thanks for playing though, I hope you enjoyed it!

Not sure if I can... :/ I use GameMaker to program and then just hit compile into app, but maybe there's a way to make it standalone... I'll look into it :)

Oh, sorry >.<. I put that there so if someone doesn't get the story they could read it here.

Played through a few levels. Sad to say it didn't hold my interest that long, but I think part of that is because a new MMO just finished downloading. :P Very well made though! I really enjoyed the music, and the concept is pretty cool. Controls are a bit odd though, and the random lights turning off every 5 seconds or so seems a bit pointless. Maybe find some way to make the game mechanic more important? Of course, I only did the first few levels, so maybe it is later on. :) Otherwise, great job!

This was pretty fun! Great concept! Either I suck, or you made some decent aiming AI :P Great work.

Interesting game! You did a good job of capturing the mood, although the music was a bit too... upbeat to match the visual mood, in my opinion. At least you had music though, so props! :P I picked up the gun, went on a shooting spree, and got captured and killed pretty fast, so it seems as though I missed a better ending, which made it a bit boring, but I like that you actually have multiple endings. Overall a cool little piece. :)

I didn't find the game too difficult, but I loved how the mechanics worked in tandem with the words to convey your thoughts. The music was nice too, and I liked how the floor was a reflective surface, made it look nice. I also liked how you're just a ball :P Great job!
