The accidental villain themed web game prototype. A bit like Dizzy meets Skyrim and Deathspank. Unfortunately far from finished, but I like the premise enough to put a few more hours on it this week.

Use arrow keys/WAD to control, E/F/Z/J to interact.

Requires recent Flash Player plugin (11.3+). I used Starling, Nape and IntelliJ IDEA. Tested hardly at all...

EDIT: Yep, tree part is the end. Should have made it more obvious, sorry. Updated post compo version is coming in a few days!

Short and fun :)
Having all that interaction buttons that do the same thing is a bit confusing... at first I kept pressing different button to see if the do different things

Hehe, funny game :)

Sounds, music, some hillbillies and you got something nice at hands that you should keep developing.

It's unfortunately over far too quickly.
amassingham18 Dec 2012, 01:28
I quite like the idea of an accidental hero, or an accidental villain - somehow who tries to be good but ultimately ends up being evil.

^That; it's instantly more complex tale than someone who purposefully set out to kill and destroy.
I also laughed ha :)

could be the beginnings of something here :)

Cool punchline.
har_g18 Dec 2012, 13:53

CireNeikual18 Dec 2012, 15:07
The game stopped when I cut down the tree. It run very smoothly for a flash game though!

The graphics kept turning into half-triangles for some reason so it was hard to get into.

Hilarious. I love it :)

btw, I fixed the Opera bug with my game. Who knew that Opera throws a DOM exception when you try to draw a rectangle with 0 width and 0 height to a canvas :D

Haha. "Thanks asshole!"

The terrain art is great but it's a shame that didn't reflect on the characters or gameplay.
SamoojaMies19 Dec 2012, 21:49
The ending was funny, poor goat :). Yeah it was very short. Good job!
GreenPixelDev20 Dec 2012, 05:53
Short and sweet, I suppose! :D The controls are there though, so you have a nice foundation to continue to build on!
nate42720 Dec 2012, 23:17
Loved the idea, wish it were longer.
raincole24 Dec 2012, 10:50

It really was short! Was there no sound also? Ending had its merits!
voidstar693 Jan 2013, 21:17
Short but interesting. No sound or music.
