Top score just for the title screen alone.
Seriously though, the controls definitely took getting used to, but this game is awesome, gorgeous, and plenty fun. How you did this in 48 hours I'll never know.
Pretty cool idea for the theme! And although things can be somewhat hard to see at times, overall I liked the graphics.
Very cool game, fun too! I loved the crazy redraw effects.
Atmospheric as hell! The graphics and lighting were gorgeous as well. I don't want to spoil anything, but overall extremely depressing.
Great work!
Wow, the atmosphere and presentation are awesome! The controls are tight, and although it takes a bit to get used to, the gameplay is really fun!
On top of that, the graphical style is fantastic and the music is awesome too!
Seriously, this is like normal-game tier. How you accomplished this in 48 hours I have no idea. Definitely one of my favorites of the night.
This game is dangerously hard, but immensely fun. And of course, the presentation is fantastic.
Absolutely loved the game, and I doubly-absolutely loved the music, almost to the point of losing because I wanted my finger mashing to match the music. Amazing work, and even more so seeing as it was your first LD.
This game is absolutely amazing, everything is integrated so well. The presentation has just the right amount of minimalism as well.
Really enjoyed the sound design going on here!
I already commented, but back for the rating. Love experimental games like this, and as said, excellent usage of the theme.
Really cool gameplay! I'm really bad at it though :(
Also, I really enjoyed the music. It sounded very freeware-gamey and made me think of the awesome games I played as a kid!
OK, I am way too dumb to get past even a level of this game, but the scope is really impressive, and it looks correctly implemented as well.
Awesome work.
I have to say, this is the best game featuring asshole ducks that I've ever played.
Gotta love point and click adventure games, especially funny ones! I feel though that my disabilities didn't really hamper my progress through the puzzles.
I feel bad for that dude's skeleton, he jumps so high and falls so fast.
Fun music!
I'm stylin' in my fishbowl hat, ya dig?
Dual-stick shooters are always fun, how could anyone dislike them. Not the most original usage of the theme, but overall a good bout, and the running commentary at the bottom was great.
This is such a strange game, everything about it. Like if you looped the music for 20 minutes, you'd have the next best selling art music album.
I love it, great work.
Pretty neat idea, and a clever (and original) integration of the theme. Game looks pretty cool too!
Too bad I'm terrible at it :(
I'll keep trying though!
That intro call was both funny and creepy. The game itself was good fun, and the music was pretty neat. Good work!
The main character was cute!
What do you think of Unity after this experience? Plan to use it again for 2d games?
Platforming is very tight! I also really liked the midi music. The graphics could use some polishing though, and the theme usage, although punishing, is a bit boring.
I liked how the levels tried incorporating different game mechanics.
Thanks for the kind words everyone! This was an idea I had in my head for a while, and it was awesome that I got the chance to implement it into my first Ludum Dare!
@zconnelly13 Hey, I threw up what I believe to be an OSX executable (extract it out of the zip file first). I don't have a Mac so I can't test it, so please tell me if it doesn't work!
@thatwhichis Oh no! This didn't possibly happen during the "really fast" part, did it? It happens pretty inconsistently and I haven't been able to nail it down yet. Hopefully you were able to restart the game and make it through with no issues, but I'm sorry for the bug.
@Steve Thanks man for the notes! Ooph, the ending text being clipped is embarrassing, it should be fixed now.
I used Photoshop to actually design the "map" (check out the source to see what I mean) and there actually should be sounds, but they're pretty quiet.
As everyone has said, this game has a gorgeous art style, always great to see flash games that aren't pixel art.
I'm not sure if you're going for some sort of contrast, but the audio doesn't really match the graphic style. And while adding more monsters makes things slightly more complicated, the game doesn't really get that much harder and becomes repetitive after a bit. The game was more tense for me when I thought that touching the monsters would result in instant death, but when I found out that they just knocked you out (and only if you *really* touch them) I didn't really give much caution as I jumped over them to fetch my arrow.
Gotta get dat doge.
Good platformer, one of the better ones I've played today.
Very difficult, but a very fun and funny game. Might have killed five patients, but I see it as ridding the world of incurable disease before it spreads!
I honestly have to say, even though I saw it coming I totally did not see it coming. Good work.
You only get one AMEEERRRIIIICCCAAAAAAAAAAA
Can I get an album with your credits song as every track on that album?
Very neat take on the theme! It was extremely fun (and the scenes were pretty funny too) to play as the cameraman, although sometimes it felt like the shot detection was somewhat off. I did better on my second run though, so maybe it was just me. Good work!
Really enjoyed the art! The game was difficult at first, but I think I got the hang of it.
Neat idea! I know it's definitely too much to ask for, but I think this type of game would be really cool as a multiplayer game of sorts, kinda like a version of "I Spy", but with shooting people in the head.
Everything about this is great. Do you guys plan on releasing the music anywhere?
Really clever and original game! Although I do agree that that while very funny, the dialog needs to be skip-able (especially if you die).
