==WARNING: GAME CONTAINS CONTENT UNSUITABLE FOR MINORS==
Ever wanted to be a movie villain? Now it's your chance with the "Villain Simulator 2000". Play four of your favorite movie villains in this daring Simulator about murder, madness and minigames!
"Villain Simulator 2000" was created in JAVA using the Slick2D libraries. It takes less then 5 minutes to play and finish the game so go and give it a try :)
So far download only, Webstart will hopefully follow. Tell me if the OS/X version works!
Some people have given me low votes because I did not create all the sound files myself. First of let me make clear that all sound files not created by me have been published in the Creative Commons License and are freely available to anyone, just as a drum loop or a font. If I had a proper mic I would have recorded the screams by myself but as it is, I don't have one so I used ones available for free. It still took me hours to edit and mix all the sounds but if you still think that it's not okay to use those sounds only give the Sound a bad rating, not the whole game.
This is not a game, this is an experience. The kind of experience that turns a small curious child into a mature wise man. Some sections dragged on a little though.
However, if you can work past that, you'll find an excellent ode to villany here. However, the fact that not all content was created during the compo knocks this one down to a 2/5 for me.
I feel like I'm falling deeper! It didn't work for me. It started up, I saw the shark and the "X" and "C" indicators. I pressed every key, but none did anything.
Absolutely amazing experience. Loved it. And in response to oldtopman's comment: as far as I can tell, only the audio wasn't created during the compo, so your 2/5 should only apply to that category!
The discussion about the music is an interesting one. I might have used music if creative commons music was allowed. I dont'really know, drumsamples ok, but complete music not? Somthing like that?
I agree with Spierek, the moment you realize you are the ball, amazing! Really nice game, and the pixel art is really good! It even made me cry of laugh!
I did not like the first two minigames, since they showed a literal interpretation of the theme, not really original nor fun. Although the last minigames were really well thought and funny, so at the end the game convinced me. Great job!
Holy crap good job! Also thanks for making a Mac version just for me! Worked beautifully...
I laughed, well... ok I giggled when I understood what was happening in Act 1, and then in act 2 (having watched the movie last night), got a chance to say "Heeeere's Johnny!"... pretty damn cool.
Quite a funny entry, though the shining section seemed to drag on a bit. Also, I initially thought I was Indy in that portion ("Why am I jumping automatically?"). Good fun!
Press space to jump! Loved it! This should have been the last one! Really cool idea and great realisation! I love how warioware mini-games are taking over this compo (DedHedZed, Leon Arnott...)
For me it was too much of a series of quick-time events for it to be an actual game, some parts also seemed to take a bit too long time. The graphics style was nice though!

Great idea, kudos. (though, that final scene was a bit... wtf.)
There's a lot of good work gone into this one.

They are truly the villain.
Good presentation and sound effect.
I especially like The Shining part :)
This should have been the last one!
