Misery is delicious! by Follett 2012-12-16T23:25:00
Great fun. I liked the death pole + spawn person combo for maximum carnage.

Got 61! Good fun
Nice idea! Like the word clouds too.
Whoops, no description of the gameplay. Here the instructions from in the game:
You are a villain on a train.
Use LEFT and RIGHT to pick a train car, then ENTER to go in to take action.
Your goal is to increase your Villain Points (VP), whilst not getting busted by keeping a low profile (ALERT < 100),not dying by keeping healthy (HP > 0)and maybe get rich trying (GP)!
There are a range of titles/ratings depending on your VP and GP.
Thanks everyone.
@wzl, your review describes pretty much exactly what I was going for! I don't have a twitter or anything though.
Now, off to rate other games.
My wife provided the sounds. The sound when you win is her impression of the World of Warcraft undead female doing the /train emote. Her favourite sound effect ever.
I liked the pixel arts.
It was fun, I liked the "pyromania" effect which caused the new fires to be thrown.
Loved the springy bullet and the budget. Especially the 300 in the title instead of 3000.
Great character customisation.
Really enjoyed this one, highest score was 13572 on level 26.
I couldn't figure out how to pick up the money once it fell on the floor, did I do something wrong?
Liked it, kind of like a fishing game without hurting the fish!
Also interesting to see there is a java port of flixel that I didn't know about.
Liked the music and the dreamy colours of the backgrounds.
Liked how the lighthouses shoot laserbeams.
Loved the graphics and the rotating world. I actually won on my first dive cause I picked up the diamond :D
I managed to pick up covers but couldn't seem to get the usb to work on the computer so I got a little stuck. Like the gamer eyes mode though.
Liked alternating between animal forms and shooting different bullets.
Liked it, it got difficult fast for me because I'm terrible at puzzles but I like the action of moving the pipes.
Especially liked the shop and how the game over message was so encouraging.
Off to try your dad's game now to compare :)
Liked it, especially using the tnt as a trap for ghosts.
Really felt the screenshake, nice job.
Really interesting format, but my pdf viewer kept getting it wrong and putting me one page down from the right one.
I couldn't understand how to play, can you add some instructions or controls?
I found left and right move me and space destroys a block. Is there something else?
Liked it. Wasn't sure if there was a victory condition at first but then I noticed the light getting brighter.
My score:
Time 130
Rocks 19
Tnt 3
Liked it, it reminded me of an old mini/crazy golf game but with a different control scheme.
I like typing on the numpad so this was pretty good.
Liked the gameplay and graphics.
Technical question - Why did you make your game download images rather than just bake them into the jar or with the download?
Liked the voices, especially the jump - it sounds like you are about to fall over.
Came here from the link on your daughters game, I think I have to agree with you, she beat you.
Good fun setting up the route and then watching him go.
Liked the plot. Also it was cool how the enemies picked things up to throw them.
Very addictive. The fish behaviour was cool, I liked how they moved like real fish.
It's good to submit even it isn't really finished, worst case people can learn something from your source code.
Great game!
Loved the writing and the little pop up flags.
I won but it was really close - most of my crew starved to death but then I found goat stew.
Brilliant!
Woohoo! I won a cake.
Enjoyed progressing through the weapons. Had a kinda spooky oldschool atmosphere with the dark draw distance.
@pythong
If only there were time, there would be a tutorial, etc.
Cool idea, nice music.
I keep making mistakes and switching to the wrong color :D
I did not feel rage or lust but I am commenting anyway.
Good fun, liked how you could blast things while you waited for your past self.
Only thing was the bridge over the lava seemed a bit touchy and I died the most to that!
Very cute, really enjoyed it.
My favourite game was the keyboard monster one.
I like how it looks like the snail is dancing to the music.
Sounds like a good idea but I didn't understand how to play. Can you put further instructions?
Nice idea.
That bird was out to get me but I made it in the end!
Died once I got to the boss who chased me. Fun though.
Liked how we can see your IDE in the screenshot as I am a nosy person.
Well done for completing your first LD game.
Liked the idea too.
It got a lot easier once I realised what the compass was for.
Nice game.
Love that title screen.
My brain just can't process the game apparently though - I never made it past the pit/spike.
Simple, clean idea. Good job.
I liked how I had to figure out the tunnel was there from your informative description.
At first I thought the game was a commentary on how frogs could never cross roads without dying.
Liked it. Good sense of anticipation that something was going to happen and just the right length for an LD game.
Are we there yet?
I got 192 seconds.
I enjoyed my adventure with Mr Banana Pants.
Very clever, liked how it subverted initial expectation and then became something else. Loved the thumbs on cardboard presentation. The final chase was fun too. I won, Jub is in jail now.
Good fun, I could feel myself getting better at it. Jumping just right and hitting the ball felt good!
When I die the game just seems to hang, either with stretched out clouds (if I had more than one laid) or full red (like the ground, if I miss the very first one).
Liked the idea but it's hard to play if there is no way to restart except refreshing the page.
Like the idea of having to take long shots to stay small, found it quite hard once I got to levels 4 and 5.
@oskardevelopment
After 30 seconds you can go to the next level by pressing space or enter, the next level will have new enemies and looks, etc.
If there was a cuteness rating this would be 6/5. So cute. Also I am a snow master.
Great game. The fact you could shoot yourself and it became easier to do so the bigger you got was good fun. I managed to get ridiculously big once I got used to it, then wrapped up my enemy like a swiss roll and shot inwards :D
Didn't run for me. I'm 64 bit windows so took that download. When I run the exe nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
Nice game, liked how I could bump into other in multiplayer too!
Really liked graphics and the hopping, the last level took me ages but it was worth for my freedom.
Very compulsive! Like the duck tap.
Quite relaxing. Apart from the parsnips. Grow damn you!
Now I have so much wheat I can't harvest it all. Now I understand the parsnips. This game is educational!
Would've rated but there is no option.
The movement felt nice, liked bouncing around and changing direction.
I got the job! Great idea, nice graphics. Really liked it.
I won! Walking diagonally and waiting on corners seemed to be the trick.
Like the graphics style, love the music.
Didn't really understand the game though, maybe that's just me but I didn't know what the red outlines and blue outlines meant.
Also I got a crash very often when trying to build. I think it was if I select 'build' then the building, then move the green square into the darkness.
Impressed you created so much though.
Compulsive to figure out all the pictures/recipes.
Liked how aggressive the visuals are on my eyes.
Reminds me of both SuperHexagon & VVVVVV in a good way.
Runs fine for me windows 64.
I like the graphics but I can't say I understood what I was doing.
Brilliant. Really polished. Gameplay was good (liked planting the seeds then kiting enemies round them), dialog was good. Liked how a little intro set the scene too.
This game made smile. I am ready for christmas now.
Liked the increasing difficulty as the games unlocked, really cool approach and fun to play.
Cool game. I'm not very good at it, but I like it.
Nice audio track too!
Echoing HolyBlackCat here, couldn't run it just got a grey screen.
Refreshed a few times and once got a progress bar which stuck at 10% or so.
Guess which button I kept hitting once I'd put my whole code in? It wasn't enter :D
Nice idea.
Very cute character and I liked how I changed colour when I died. But I died a lot!
I wonder if some colour coding would help the obstacles stand out from each other more? Or maybe as other are saying it's a view distance issue.
