*Moved notes to bottom of the description page!

*NOTICE*
Before you ask why the game doesn't make any sense. Please look at HowToBasic's youtube videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mm_5Z__TjQ

After that, you will understand this game completely. This game was inspired by him.

HowToBasic: The Game!

Before you say "You're wasting pixels! Think of the starving children in Africa". You should try it.

I am remaking this game completely with better graphics, "story", and level designs!

*Will make post-jam version with all items unlockable*

I was originally going to do Compo but I ran out of time and I wasn't even close to being done when the 48 hour mark was arriving.

!!!FUN FACT!!!:
All the voices and sfx were done by voice!
How to do sfx: http://www.tinyurl.com/n25r564

*edit: Fixed reported bugs!

Note: Sorry but only the egg is available due the lack of time and my schedule :(

*Hello Imgurians! OP has delivered!

Easily ported to HTML5 (tested on Chrome/Firefox. Opera/Safari/IE users, please tell me any bugs you find)

*The HTML5 version works on SOME tablets/phones. but I'm still going to try to port to android for the derps.

Android version released! Only tested on my Samsung Galaxy Note 1

Haha this is great. It's certainly an interesting idea and I like the graphics.

Best game ever x).

Actually I'm stuck at lvl 6, is there a bug?

Also : when you try to select another item and then click somewhere on the screen, the game crash.

Haha i love the voice. Love the YT channel too. Very funny game :). Lots of fatal crashes when clicking the buttons at the bottom though :(

@KevinAlbs:
Thanks!

@Anoarith:
No, there isn't a bug in lvl 6. I just need to put a hint in there.
I just accidentally left something in that is basically a Pseudocode.

@joekinglake:
Thanks! I love the YT channel too. Yeah, I accidentally left something that is basically a Pseudocode in the game.

When I saw the title I just had to play this.
How do I get the unlocks though?

If you read the notes at the top, you'll see. Basically, I didn't have the time :(

Hahaha, very creative game. Had fun with it, couldn't get past the 8th level (if that's even possible. I lost, so I won?)

Okay, that was just some stupid fun. I'd love to see move of this.
haloflooderauthor31 Aug 2013, 07:29
@Diogo Muller:
It's possible. Hint: Push the buttons in the right order

@dalbinblue:
Yeah, that's the point. Stupid fun. And what do you mean by move? A better fully grown version?
kivifreak31 Aug 2013, 09:13
It's smart to port it to Android, because Touch controls would fit it.
haloflooderauthor31 Aug 2013, 09:33
@kivifreak:
Yeah, I know. I was planning on it (working on it as we speak)

Ahah that's the spirit, smashing eggs everywhere.
I love the low res voice, really coherent with the graphics and the animation. And the intro is great.

That was ridiculous, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm looking forward to the redone version you mentioned.
Corné Dorrestijn31 Aug 2013, 15:32
Some levels were quite confusing. Still don't know why i won those :P
Misfit31 Aug 2013, 20:59
This is hilarious. Best audio ever!

darkshadow31 Aug 2013, 21:12
No idea how I won the move level, clicking the buttons or pressing arrow keys did nothing the first time! The rest of the game makes hardly any more sense, but the paradox level was funny!
haloflooderauthor31 Aug 2013, 21:36
@darkshadow:
If you look at howtobasic's youtube videos. You will find out why the game doesn't make any sense.

Cool game
Almax275 Sep 2013, 19:34
Love the reference, there's nowt you can't do with egg smashing.

The ending was cool too. Would love to see this extended to your full vision of it. :)

Smashing controls :) Fun.

I think the intro will look better without many fade-in fade-out.
