You flick the trigger and the gun tightens, spasmodic spurts of pink light drilling into Koner's back. He orgasms to the ground, twitching in relentless priapism. He's screaming at this long-range violation, he's clutching at his swelling crotch.
Straddling his forevercumming body you prepare for extraction.
5/5 :D
Runs slower than a peanut butter river in January...
YAY!!! I finally did it! Now my mouse hand is sore...
Nice sound effects and graphics! :) I gotta find a good vector graphics program so that i can learn to whip them off like i can pixel graphics...quick vector graphics always seem to look cooler than quick pixel graphics.
Cool idea! About to play it :)
Awesome in-joke idea! :D
Takes way too long to evolve though. I lost the fun before i got my second mutation.
Holy crap...Don't suppose you have a timelapse of you doing the graphics? I would love to see how you did them!
Haven't played any entries yet but will definitely bookmark this one
Your scores are pretty high! I think you did rather well, myself. I'm amazed that you got <200th in EVERY category!!
(And I'm about to play your game.)
Looks interesting! I always like a unique art style in a game.
...Crap! The executable crashes on me after showing the Unity splash! :(
PS OK you were right...I should've removed the dropbox link after several people said their virus scanners told them the file was infected. I fixed that now. Thanks for playing my game!
LOL hooked on the intro!! :D
CRAP another XNA game!! Looks cool though, wish I could play it. I also made a game about throwing a planet around.
I think I got into several places you never intended me to with the little trick of jumping so that I slide along an atmosphere...but I still couldn't acheive anything! I got lots of blocked paths (LOTS) and a robot, and spiders, but no powers. Walkthru please? :D
This game is really something different, though! Innovative exploration mechanic.
I like the text.
PS The audio 'stuck' and so did the game, on the Web version.
What the...I forgot to rate this one, even after putting it on my favourite games list! Lol. I'll fix that now. Great art btw.
Best readme file introduction!
WOW I was so not expecting that!! I had no idea it was even possible. I'm editing my favourites post.
Cool! And congrats on being the 100th game I play. I'm a sucker for a randomly generated adventure!
:)
Do I perhaps recognize those hero graphics from somewhere...?
If this loads/works, you will be the 100th game I play! (Meant to play like 500 but my internet connection had other plans--like going on the fritz for a week!)
Cool idea! I'm rather impressed at your intro. The mechanic seem like it could be something really cool and addictive.
(but the controls are a little effed up). Nice graphics, nice audio, good work!
Kudos for a cool idea and cute graphics!
The words I could use to describe not being able to quit the music when I quit the game are somewhat unprintable, though. I mean!
(PS 60 frogs)
YAYYY! At last I get to play the OTHER side of Missile Defense! Points for fantasy fufillment!
I quite like way the 3D perspective works; I admit I've always wanted to be the guy dropping a rock on the hapless earth and then quickly panning the camera to see it land.
Quibbles:
Sheild's too hard to use! Or maybe the missiles are too hard to depth-guess. Again and again, I turned it on, only to find the missiles seemed to slow down and wait ofr it to vaporate before striking. The satellites are also way too hard to hit (I spent ages trying).
Also took me a few minutes to figure out how to play.
Cool game though!
Error creating Direct3D device
--?
Cool idea! I like the whole balance thing. Also like the randomness.
You now have 1/4th more comments on your game!
Neat! Seems to be the start of something pretty cool.
Oh, crap! Another cool-looking game programmed in XNA!
Controls are @#!$$@^%#^*#^&%!
Stopping at a planet only seems to work when I'm going slow enough to read and click without stopping anyway.
Good idea for a random game though! Throw in a highly customizable ship, random events, and randomly generated alien races with different quirks and you've got a winner!
I love the mechanic! It's what a good mechanic should be: Perfectly clear and self-explanatory when you consider the theme (rules of eating lol); unique compared to other game mechanics, and has lots of level potential. And satisfying. You should really try and make this into a full game!
Suggestions:
>Less quick to starve; many people hate solving puzzles under pressure
>Cool graphics
>A vengeance back-story for eating all those squares
Keep up the good work! :)
It plays the music, and I can hear sound effects, but the screen is black!
FAR OUT!! :D
I've always wanted to do a wacky game about pychosis like this! I really like the surrealistic feel, the gender-changing (?why?) and the zany graphics. The music in particular is awesome.
A few questions: Why have all my eyeballs rebelled? Why do I change gender? Why does he swear when he gets a key?
One quibble: It's too hard! I ragequit on the second level, the one after the first door.
Pretty cool! Good audio. I highly enjoy a bit of wackiness myself. Good thing this isn't on Kongregate; everyone would be asking you what you smoked to come up with the wacky ideas. They do that there for some reason.
However...the screen was effed no matter how much I changed the browser zoom, with the bottom part cut off. What the hell kind of screen are you using with that wacky size/positioning?
Enjoyed your game!
Sounds like a cool idea! I'm going to download it tomorrow when (hopefully) my Internet connection is working faster than 100 bytes a second.
Pretty cool! Stands out among the other entries.
There's always something satisfying about strategic infection games, too!
I didn't get very far, but I enjoyed it. Graphics didn't look that bad to me. I liked the Slurp of Victory!. ;)
Looks cool! Unfortunately, Windows XNA won't work for me. I've already tried to play 6 games with it and it says my graphics card isn't good enough every time. :(
Hey, a game where you get to play as the Borrowers! :D My internet connection is so bad right now that it took 20 min to load this page; but I will definitely come back and play it later!
Wouldn't run; it showed an error and then crashed my browser (Firefox). ;/
Looks like you've been overlooked! Loading your game now...
It crashed!
Very cool! The idea is awesome--being the peacemaker in a solar system war where everyone's shooting interplanetary nukes. It is a little tricky though--I like it as a survival game, but maybe planets should have 2x health.
I think you should definitely leave planet-shrinking in; it may be a little silly but it also cuts the player some slack near the endgame.
Highscore: 1300!
PS The sound fx hurt my ears
WHY is the source 87 MB ??!!!!
It looks like you have a nice graphical style. However, on my 0-20 KB per second connection I'm rather reluctant to download a 30 MB game.
Got kinda boring, and I couldn't make head or tail of the crafting. Pretty neat idea, though!
Didn't reach boss. Particles and sound effects were certianly gratifiying! controls were challenging but not too hard.
Music is nice! Maybe it's just my computer, but the mouse look is too sensitive and sticky on an order of 10,000!
Pretty cool! Very satisfying to see it kind of peel apart like that. Unique take on the tiny-world-destruction idea! I think it's too hard, though. (My highscore was 60%, and I played it 6 times. Maybe I'd beat it if I played another 4 times.) I think this game could go far!
Nice to see a text game! When I double-clicked the jar, though, nothing happened. (I get stuff like that all the time, though, so maybe it's not your game).
GREAT game!
Nice variety of enemy battles, and the zooming thing really makes the game! I love the sense of the world you get playing this, which most games don't have--most games feel like a series of levels or a room. That was what really stood out for me.
I got stuck for the second time tho and got killed wandering around (I'd been on two hits left for like half an hour.) That's one thing: After playing it for an hour, i definitely didn't feel like doing it all again to try & figure out where I had gone wrong on the way to the finish.
AWESOME!
I got all but 2 stars!!!! (I found the secret 6-star area. :D)
What I like about this game:
The size! Lots of gameplay, and two distinct worlds. I like the shooty feel of the underground levels after the upper ones.
I liked the two-choice path part in the aboveground level.
You out some effort into making the animation the player would perform over and over again (shooting) satisfying!
Your leafy stalks waved in the wind.
An ending!
The ant!
It feels like a complete game, and not an LD size on either!
What I didn't like about it
The movement was too slow.
A game as cool as this will probably get higher ratings then mine. :D
I thought you were SUPPOSED to hit a planet, and it took me 3 minutes to do so. :P Fun web toy! (PS My highscore was 8853-something.)
Thanks for your review!
Congrats on your LD entry!
One suggestion: For your next game, make the screen smaller. My laptop screen wouldn't show the whole thing, which you can see how that would make the game difficult.
Very nice indeed! The graphical style looks unique, consistent, and polished. I like your menu too.
You should put it on Kongregate, see how it does! Maybe you'll get badged!
Got some really satisfying swingaroo gravity manouevers in places with lots of small planets near the edges :D You should have bonus points for staying in the air a long time.
Haven't met an exploding planet yet; going to play lvl 2 and maybe I'll meet one!
Cool! The bosses were a nice reward at the end, and came at just the right time. A bit obvious that it was made with Game Maker, but that's OK.
Ran very slow on my computer, but I could see how cool it was. Amazing graphics, very nice gameplay mechanic! Sometimes I couldn't get Big Bill to move when I needed him to, and Timmy had these weird depth glitches, but other than that pretty good!
Cool idea! Sorry I didn't get around to playing your entry until now. (PS I'm really SkullSoft but I changed my name after finding out that some other software dev had it.)
Very neat mechanic! Took me awhile to figure out whattheheck to do, but once I did it was really fun!
Nice code, nice art, nice music!
Whattheheck? It wants me to install something in French?
WOW so much gameplay!
You can harvest?? HOW?
Very interesting!
Brilliant concept!
Lots of gameplay to it, too. I like that in a jam game!
Some points that could use improvement:
1) Was a bit tricky to figure out the tile logic of the world-building part
2)Rather frusturating to build a nice short path and then be killed by those ANNOYING shooting robots
...Hey, wait a minute: Health recharges? Is that what those coins are for?
AWESOME!! I really enjoyed discovering the different ways there were to make havoc. GREAT music, too. I think there should be a reward for destroying every structure, though. (I got a map with only 1 tank on it!) Great fun!
AAAAAAHHH get that knife outta my rear! Here, have some dynamite! The chests making you stop was a bit frusturating, but I like chase games. I enjoyed it.
:P Good thing I'm a real game-geek. HTML5 shockwave Flash Java applets most jars most zips some rar's all GM, AGS, Unity ...but 7L's, some rars, most files that used WinZip to compress them, and all Windows XNA don't work.
If you understood all of that you are a TOTAL NERD JUST LIKE ME! :D
Finished it! Pretty rough, but if you polish it it could be a real gem.
230! Very addictive; a fun n frantic of minutes of button mashing.
21 moves! I never did find Adam.
W E I R D!
Very fun though! Immediately after he said 'anyone to your right is full of crap' I tried going to his right side and talking to him from there. XD
Really enjoyed all the dialogue. :P An interesting story!
LOL Looks like everyone beat me to the punch telling him off for spamming pro-browser comments
LOL Cosmo it's the TOP half of the screen that's cut off for me...maybe we could get together? :D
Interesting 'game'. Very different!
How do you exit one of the menus?
Same problem as Jonny D. :/ Idea sounds cool though!
Kudos for detailed run req tips on page! Windows XNA doesn't work for me tho, so I'm afraid I can't play your game.
LOL That's not Pluto, that's Marge on a bad hairday! I went ridiculous lengths trying to mae sure I only added planets to the top of my beehive do. "Marge" went into what I can only describe as a conniption after I picked up seven or eight larger planets. Very fun toy!
LOL! "Publisher: The Evil Cult. Name: Stranded. Downloaded from: http//evilcult/net. Allow?" :D
LOL I can't beleive u though to of letting the player smoosh goos with pushable rocks!
:$ I was a dumbass and blocked the way back with a rock.
Strangest intro to a game of whack a mole EVER! Hands down. In fact, I'm giving you a medal for just that. :D
I'd be interested in playing the more developed version if you do it--the pixel-zooming thing is pretty cool. Maybe have the picture be an atanomically correct figure, and have the training levels you-know-where. :D
You really pyched me out with the logo--I thought you were using GM 6 for a minute.
Bug: If you push the box into the first entranceway, run into the other room, and return, you get stuck in the box every time.
Like the intro! And the hero graphic especially.
Graphics are awesome...controls, meh. I was rather suprised to find out that I could not jump from on top of crates, for example. Also I got stuck in the wall.
Oooh, a roguelike!
.....
Er...it's asking me to get a better graphics card..for a ROGUELIKE?!
Sorry, but it doesn't work on my computer.
I like it! Do you win if you reach the top of the hill?
I like it! Took me awhile to solve it, but that's part of the fun. I found the easter egg, too. :) A really zany and fun little puzzle game!
(PS Who else found satisfaction in buzzing into the cows butt as a bee to hear him bellow?)
I also liked the ant scuttling sound.
Great idea!
I always knew this was the truth! But no one would listen!
Very creative take on the theme! Nice music, too. Fun and relaxing to play.
Sounds cool! Unfortunately it says something about a missing dll when i try to run it. Maybe give a link to the source code?
Cool game! Very unique mechanic, if somewhat tricky to master. (I think using the mouse to aim the ball would make it much easier). Got stuck on the 2nd level after the bizzare mechanic was introduced: Those damm prongs just stick too far up!
I had thought I was the only one to make a game about throwing a planet around. (Check out my version of that idea!)
Aaack! Oh no! He commited suicide after 5 seconds of interacting with me!! :(
LOL I tickled the islnad dweller, made the cashier happy (did he really eat that gum?), beeped the customers, tried to steal candy from the baby...and broke the teleoprter, making it shoot the customers to a gory death.
Really weird and interesting simple multiple-choice game! I like how A not all the choices are obvious, and B how simple it is to choose good/bad interactions. Now I know why mice have two buttons.
Wacky! I missed the text on how to reload the first time, but then I figured it out.
Clicky clicky. Hey! Why am i taking it for granted that the nude dude on a floating rock drops coins when the birds poop on him?? Lol.
LOL Very cool! Lots of possible combinations. For the first one, for some reason the tank never got any water in it! I like the little flowers that drop on his flathead and stay there for a moment. And the gf too. Lots of replayability!
I won! Awesome game! A very cool but simple implementation. The mechanic itself is kinda repetitive but the graphics, general idea, and audio make it quite compelling.
The Java applet crashed my browser, and now I'm hearing these weird thumping sound effects. :(
Cool! Creepy!
I figured out that I could climb walls, but it seemed to be limited to certain places. Or am I just a smutz?
And yes, you can die. I died.
I hope this game gets a medal for 'mood'!
Nice magnifying glass effect! I found a way to win easy: Zap the bugs at the outside ring while you can get lots of them in one zap. Or is that part of the strategy?
Really nice graphics!
Anyway, fun game, kept me clicking madly for awhile.
PS I liked the intro, too! :)
WTF it sticks the window in the top of the screen and cuts the bottom part (with the hero in it presumably) off?
Any idea what might've caused that?
"Firing a secretion costs blood" LOL.
A really weird but interesting little game! With some p0olish it could become really popular. Something about living the life cycle of a small gross little insect that sucks blood, fires 'secretions' and lays eggs is just appealing. Or maybe that's just me. ;/
I like how you move slower when your behind is stuffed full of eggs, by the way!
So what's the special prize? ....You're not playing a practical joke on whoever gets 10000 and demands a prize are you? :)
Can I interact with anything, or is moving l/r the only possible action? I've tried everything I could think of that might be an interaction key.
Nice music tho! And it's a cool idea.
Looks pretty far out! Unfortunately won't run on my Windows PC. Just decompiles itself into a bunch of seperate components.
I like the double meaning of the title!
One bug: If u stand right next to a wall and fire point blank, it's BYE BYE ARROW.
Also maybe an apple to play William Tell with in the beginning? :D
I quite like the graphics. It was also quite satisfying to kill 3 beetles at once.
One more peeve: Too damm hard! That spike pit really sucked after i managed to survive the bugs. Especially the second time.
I LOVE IT!!
Unique mechanic, satisfying destruction, humor (damm robot tripping over his feet, or when he starts to shake holding his perfect split), sensible controls, just the right length, and very nice graphics!
Am i really supposed to collect all those TINY particles??
Unique and fun! Easy to pick up and play. How did you do the dynamic terrain thing?
There is CRC model on file: C:\Users\...\fmodex.dll
when I try to extract it. But then files zipped with WinZip never work for me anyways, so maybe it's not your game.
Cool idea...but the ship needs about 100x as much health, and it should be easier to stop a fall, and you should be able to zap from farther away, and you should be more generous with the collision checking for the dock. Also, I think I should bounce when I hit a rock instead of it behaving like I ran through death lasers.
Hey ThatSnail! We meet again! (I'm really SkullSoft, but I changed my name after finding out that some other software company had it.) Going to play your game now.
Skully?! That's my nickname!
Nice! (Conflagus is easier to play with by far.) I like the special effects! Very nice graphics. Funny, too. The music, though, drives me NUTS.
I've always wanted to play a game like this! :D So it gets points for wish-fufillment. Unfortunately it became unplayabley laggy on my laptop.
Nice! Rather unique gameplay, switching back and forth between two different shooters. Pretty fun, too.
PS I like how you can shoot your own balloon down!
Nice game! LOL about left-handed controls--finally RIGHT-handed people are getting their comeuppance!
The graphics were impressive, and your take on the theme was quite original.
(Not nearly as many platform games as I expected in this LD so far!)
I also liked the sound effects.
I can't figure out how to give her the flower! Seems like a cool beginning, though. Lots of opportunities for neat secrets to be hidden around with the big/tiny world thing.
I love it! It really stands out. It's addictive the controls are simple and make sense, and I love the way you make a song by playing the game. And it's cute, too!
I really like how instead of expecting you to stop ALL rocks from getting on the planet, the game simply makes it stick in the planet as an obstacle.
Simple, innovative, addictive--just what a LD game should be!
PS Highscore is 50.
Nice audio!
The control scheme stands out among all the other games in the jam I've played.
And it's quite easy to pick up'n'play, which is important for a jam game.
A random;y generated game always piques my interest! This one is good for playing while waiting for your computer to do something. I like the part about "There are an infinite amount of tiny worlds within our own world".
Lots of polish! Has a good atmosphere, too.
Weeeird! I would love to know how you made a 3D game have such a tiny file size. Zany fun!
One thing though: The controls are simply the WEIRDEST I have ever seen. Not bad, neccesarily, but really weird.
Nice! Cool take on theme, unique gameplay compared to most of the other games! I never would've thought of making an adventure game on THIS premise! :D Cool robots, too!
Quite nice! An enjoyable little bit of tiny-world fun.
:)
Very cool use of theme! Won't work on my browser though.
Zany! Far out! Gnarly, dude!
I fell into the floor just before the first NPC and was unable to escape...I agree, though, cool concept!
Seriously awesome!!! WOOT!
Are you aware of the bug that lets you float in the air?
Interesting idea....but that ant moves WAY TOO S L O W !
Interesting and quick...but why did it say '404' the SECOND time I played it, but not the first? Maybe you updated it at the same time I was trying to play it?
Cheesy!
I LOVE IT! Nice graphics, simple, funny, addictive! Great game.
I like it! Simple but fun, just what a LD should be! One tip though: You should add a description. I almost passed it by because it didn;t have one.
Wow looks awesome! Going to play it now.
What are all those particles I'm collecting anyways?? The people I'm swimming through should bathe more often. :P
:D Ooooh a propoganda game!
When I type 'help', it says "Command not understood". :(
LOL I love it! My fart was the one in Vancouver Island. :D I'm telling all mt friends!
I like it!
I like the concept! I'm just about to publish my entry (MY KID DROPPED THE PLANET! where you either play catch with Whoville/try to destroy Whoville) and then I'll play this.
I like it!
Makes me dizzy! Pretty cool core mechanic; amazing that you made that many puzzles on top of the game engine in 48 hours!
PS You can throw crates forward?? I played the whole game without figuring that out!
LD26 — Minimalism (1)
Weapons of Minimal Destruction by bluescrn 2013-05-27T01:29:00
481,230 lowest score :D this is my favourite game out of this LD I've tried. Neat idea, great execution.
