Wow, scary! The graphics and the mood are just perfect.
I enjoyed walking around. Mood and character design are super cool !
Very fun and touching ! Great use of the theme.
The game was very fun ! I played with my boyfriend and we laughed a lot while playing it. Such a good idea to put a knife up there for more brutal endings.
Nice to see the Nesblog here, I hope you participate again :)
A game with a message ! I would have called it "We only get one Earth" to make sure people really get the point.
I think that's the best use of the theme there could be, so 5 !
Vive le camembert Paris de la France contre les evil souris nazies !
Lots of fun in this game, the better part being running for your life after the bullet decides to come back at you :)
I made them coffee and they spared my life ! Nice take on the theme, about the cruelty of those situations where it's so important to make a good first impression on people that don't care about you and only have a tenth of their attention to give you.
I thought when I lost the first time that the presenter was going to shoot me with what I thought was a shotgun. Would have been even darker hahaha. (I realised later that he was just holding a mic)
Wow, I loved the visuals and mood, you really did something here ! Took me a while to figure out how to kill the enemies, and then I was so stressed, I fled (and died) when I saw one even though the sword was mid position ! And the death screen is so intense it made me smile :)
Cool idea, a great take on the theme !
Cool art style !
Nice entry, very dark and unsettling...
It's comforting to know you can always rely on drunken soldiers, heart throwing skills, wealthy spiders and cucumber strength.
Very nice entry, tons of fun ! Bravo :)
That's very fun :)
Very well done
Great idea, great game !
Awesome pixel-art !
Very cool idea and great implementation
Very disturbing, great job !

My keyboard suffered a lot :) Cool game, love the graphics !
Nice idea and graphics
This was a fun experience
It's beautiful
Very cool !
Very original concept !
Nice puzzle game. I like the music, very engaging !
But what are they doing in the water in the first place ?
Fun idea :)
Great mood
Very cool idea ! It perfectly respects the theme while giving a longer gameplay. Bravo :)
Awesome graphics and great execution. I liked it !
That was fun ! Very well done :)
Very cool idea !
Beautiful art and nice concept :)
You used to form a word together... and now they're your enemies !! Very cool entry :)
Very cool and innovative ! It also fits the theme perfectly.
Very nice pixel art ! Some interactions with the objects are funny :)
Lovely !
Great entry ! Very cool graphics, mood and music.
Great mood ! Amazing job on the music.
Very cool ! Those circles are evil.
Very fun ! Great graphics. Those little humans are very hard to crush.
Great game ! I like now you can not be the villain if you want even if the dialogs (and the induced curiosity to know what happens if...) strongly encourage it.
Great take on the theme !
Had fun playing it !
My only complaint is that sometimes the platforms don't stand out enough from the background (color too similar) and it's hard to spot them.
Great entry, great mood.
This one made me laugh ! "Give me media" !
I like that you can counter a cannonball with a cannonball.
Great game ! Amazing graphics and animation. I love the design of the character and how his eyes glow in the dark.
The only thing that bothered me is that the structures falling on the background are too dark and made the position of the platforms hard to read. It made me lose focus on several occasions.
There are a lot of fun things in this game ! I like how the drug people rush to protect the old lady, how you can talk to people 2s after having shot them with your pistol, how you have to hurt people enough to rob them but not enough to kill them because you couldn't rob them later, how the dog protects people so bravely (At first I thought it was a goat), how everybody runs faster than you, etc.
Some suggestions for improvements
- I think the game could be more dynamic if the character moved a little faster.
- The minimap could be bigger (I didn't notice it at first) with icons for the different buildings. Also when you look at the minimap it seems that the roads are wall, so I was always trying to avoid them when I walked with the minimap as only guide.
- It could be more obvious when you have "talk" selected and when you have "attack" selected. Maybe put the icons in a box with a reminder of the shortcut.
- It's a little frustrating to discover that there are missions when you already have killed the targets :)
Great game ! A lot of content in 48 hours !
Very fun ! great plotline !
It was very laggy on my computer so I couldn't play, but playing a storm is such a nice idea for the theme !
Very original concept !
Very entertaining, I like it !
Nice concept !
Good graphics ! Linking business and violence in such a simple way is a fun idea.
I like it ! A little hard (I had trouble not being hit by the enemies) It's very dynamic and I like the phone sequences<
Like the others, I had trouble figuring what to do. But once you get it it is fun to watch your lair come to life ! Maybe you could add some instructions in the web page to tell the players what to do ? One thing I didn't understand is what triggers the adventurers entering the lair.
Very creative !
Really nice game, nice music, graphics, and great mood !
That little fox is really sweet. Sometimes you wonder how those dogs get stuck on these platforms :)
What a nice surprise when you do that final jump on level 2 and the fox suddenly grows wings and starts to fly !
That's just a very tiny detail, but I would find it a lot more comfortable if you could control the character with with the arrow keys instead of A & D. It was a little tiring for the hand.
Great job !
Very nice job on the catchy graphics !
Really nice take on the theme !
It was quite fun and unexpected to be able to bounce off zombies.
Very cute game !
It was a bit laggy on my computer and the controls screen took forever to disappear, but it looks great and I would have loved to be able to play it :)
This was fun ! I loved watching the minions attack. Great music as well.
Great imitation of the GameBoy style !
Nice work, I had fun playing it for a while :)
I got stuck on the first level with the bunny disease. It is way too hard compared to the monsters from before. Each time it happened, it affected about half a dozen bunnies in a second. Hard to come back from that. And it's quite tricky to kill only the infected bunnies as they often overlap with the other.
Also at first, I kept clicking on the icons to launch the upgrades and of course, it fired the lazer and killed my bunnies :)
I couldn't figure out how to play but the atmosphere is nice :)
Very good atmosphere, nice and relaxing music. I enjoyed the gameplay, it reminded me of Ecco the Dolphin.
It is sometimes frustrating that you can't go to the next area although there isn't anything blocking the way. Also, I would have loved to be able to evolve past level 3, with a different skin :)
Very cute graphics, great choice of colors !
Sometimes I was so happy when I found myself :) Really great job !
I had fun playing this game :) I would love to see it improved !
Wow, snow globes were such a perfect idea for this theme ! The graphics and colors are absolutely great. My only complaint is that sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the tiles and know when they're gonna fall, but I can imagine how counters would have damaged the atmosphere.
Such a poetic game, my favorite entry on many points !
Really had fun with this game. I like how the earth shrinks when you kill the humans while the moon turns to bloody red :D Great graphics as well.
I really enjoyed this entry. I usually get stuck in this kind of games but I thought this one was well balanced even though I played the first version. I'm so sad the little guy didn't get a happier ending, I thought he deserved it :) Great job anyways !
So fun :D Great art too !
