Rate and comment on Gamejolt if it pleases you. Thanks :D

Edit: I'm very happy with all the positive reviews I'm getting from you guys. Although I was dissapointed that all the features I had in mind could not be implemented, I realized that, well its Ludum Dare. Anyway, Thank you so much everyone, and if all goes well, and the good reviews continue, I will be sure to make a better Post Compo version with more levels, features, and music.

I lol'd because I died.

Something in your audio is making my speakers clip terribly.

I enjoyed the McPixel-y randomness. And the music. Not entirely sure what the hammer accomplished, but it made me not die.

Hayawiauthor29 Apr 2013, 17:07

Lol, and the music is supposed to be clipped like that, its a dirty of punishment

aare29 Apr 2013, 23:10

I really enjoyed dying :P nice music

ella guro30 Apr 2013, 00:44

the "lol u died" song was definitely the best part

Spelchan30 Apr 2013, 04:08

Tried all 4 options on the roof but died every time.

Hayawiauthor30 Apr 2013, 11:22

You have to look hard at the roof level, it can't be solved through trial and error

Mach60KAS30 Apr 2013, 18:19

The concept was nice, but I'd rather not be exposed to bitcrushed audio like that every time I die. Maybe turn the volume down? :)

feyleaf30 Apr 2013, 20:22

Oh my...That death made me jump a little.

Alexander1 May 2013, 01:49

Great use of audio as punishment for the wrong choice. Makes you really consider your options!

Tom 71 May 2013, 01:51

Wow, this game is a trip. I particularly like the death music. I didn't find there to be much logic to the choices, though, so it was mostly trial and error, and mercifully short!

I thought the last level had a bug, but then i realize that i just need to..... well u guys should start reading the white text xD. Nice work on the game bro! :D

psychomonster1 May 2013, 02:08

;) Dying is the best at this game :D

Andrew Shouldice1 May 2013, 23:28

Hello to you too.

Michael Hall2 May 2013, 05:18

Screw JellyCake, I give it 5 stars.

Jellycakes2 May 2013, 05:18

LOL YOU DIED LOL LOL YOU DIED

nathanj4392 May 2013, 22:50

Weird but fun.

TuxedoFish4 May 2013, 19:34

ahaha that was very funny and cool. Really enjoyed this and it was quite fun and the lol u died bit was a nice touch ;D.

avidgamerNino4 May 2013, 22:51

I wanted to save the green guy.

Hayawiauthor4 May 2013, 22:53

You saved him from a fate worse than death (Pun intended)

SuperDisk4 May 2013, 22:54

That was rather hilarious.

MinionStudios5 May 2013, 02:39

Ha! Nice one, gave you five stars -- even though I don't usually like ______ games as they are a _______ that does not introduce new __________, and instead relies on being ______ and________. This is no exception.

stevejohnson5 May 2013, 08:30

Yep, it's weird. I LOL'd.

Hayawiauthor5 May 2013, 21:04

@MinionStudios, Don't get me wrong, although I found that your game fell into the classic horror genre, I still enjoyed playing it, as it gave me a good scare (especially the bats) and as such, I gave it a good score, I just found that it didn't bring anything new to the table.

@SamPotasz6 May 2013, 23:32

I liked the crazy-ass mood present from the "HI! Hello. Hi. HELLO!" to the very last screen.

Mark Hildreth7 May 2013, 01:00

Like the idea, glad that I didn't have to start over when I died. Could have used more levels, but what are you going to do, you only get 48 hours :P

killerstarbunny7 May 2013, 01:18

fun and short

dremelofdeath8 May 2013, 10:00

I really liked the "Hello, hello" intro. The game itself is WAY simple, though, and it needs more levels.

That said, the LOL U DIED screen scared the shit out of me (and actually angered me quite a bit). Pretty sure I woke up my roommate.

Hayawiauthor8 May 2013, 20:20

@Dremelofdeath, ya I wanted to add much more things to it, but I just didn't have the time. I SHALL AVENGE MYSELF REAL LIFE!!!!

Kvisle8 May 2013, 23:26

I died. I'm also probably gonna get epilepsy..

RawBits17 May 2013, 18:55

Well, I won I guess. But these decisions aren't made any sense. The basic idea would be a good one though. Oh and the "lol you died" song is very loud. Also 'R' seems to randomly takes back to the title screen or restarts the current scene.
