Make sure you have sound on!
Way too ambitious , rookie mistake.Only my second game and first LD48.
Was supposed to be a frantic sidescroller race against time where you play Gabe Newell on a quest to stop the release of HL3 , not much of it eventuated.
There is no ending but you will probably get a laugh out of playing a "level" or 2 .
Avoid paparazzi and fanboys , they slow you.
Collecting money , eating babies , drinking StarFux coffee = good

Made me chuckle, but I think some of the humor was excessively sexual.

Yeah I get stupid when I'm sleep deprived. Was trying to capture some of the perverted vibe on some of the old C64 games but I went too cheap. Thanks for playing my p.o.s :D

Gaben as a Villain? Run run and give us that Half Life 3 :D
Really funny and nice graphics but I can't avoid those guys.. they are jumping really high ...

WHY NO SOURCE LINK, AGAINST THE RULES!!!!! Anyway, funny. Pretty generic platformer. I get your theme idea though :P

Spierek17 Dec 2012, 17:28

I'm not sure whether the game's outrageous size (93MB for a LD48 game?) was just a mistake, or an intended pun aimed at GabeN (turns out it's just GM being silly).

SirJson17 Dec 2012, 17:32

:D Funny but it I hanged in Level 3. I couldn't jump on a block to finish the Level. Maybe he was just too fat or something like that ;)

Slushyauthor17 Dec 2012, 17:37

@ Spierek how would I go about linking source for game maker lite? , I'm super noob at this stuff

tumoxep17 Dec 2012, 17:45

I've laugh my ass off. Only one problem. 93 Mb is too heavy (especially on mediafire), even for Gaben. :)
Also, Gabe's animations looks adorable.

thanks mate , I am shocked its so big myself , might see if it still works after being zipped

jsmars17 Dec 2012, 18:27

Fun stuff :) Always fun to make fun of him, especially because of how they are handling HL:E3 and the sale style of dota2

wupto17 Dec 2012, 18:43

Haha, that was fun! Love it, when he jumps.

TheCze17 Dec 2012, 19:05

GabeN looks really great. The quotes are funny aswell.

But why is Gabe the villain?

Fonserbc17 Dec 2012, 21:45

Meh, those anoying fans, slowing down gabe :(

Slushyauthor18 Dec 2012, 04:52

@TheCze I had planned an elaborate story about Gabe secretly syphoning funds from HL3 development into personal hat research . Thats why he is the villian but ran out of time and its totally not clear in the game wtf is going on .I would say I only 30% completed the game and kinda feel bad wasting peoples time downoloading it.

It made me laugh. Cool graphics and not bad controls!

sauronz18 Dec 2012, 13:32

This is gold for a Valve fan lol

berareu18 Dec 2012, 13:37

That was fun, poor Gabe can't catch a break :)

caribou18 Dec 2012, 13:44

Quotes were a nice touch !

pnkthrepwood18 Dec 2012, 16:07

The executable is so huge! But the game is fun and the theme is wonderful :D

Slushyauthor19 Dec 2012, 00:19

Im sorry to everyone for the exe being so big, I think it has to do with the way Game Maker Lite handles sound files. I tried zipping it on best compression and it barely made a difference

Another huge entry almost downloaded. For those of us who aren't lucky enough to have unlimited allowance, you should give a heads up :)

aeveis23 Dec 2012, 08:31

pretty funny, I liked the dancing bear. Not sure how Gabe is the villain but I may be biased :).

@spierek, @tumoxep, @pnkthrepwood, @BrothersT
Should've posted this the day this was done...
Sorry for the enormous file size! :D
The Music was a lot bigger than it should've been, as it could have been looped.
Thanks for playing anyways!
