Well that was quite interesting! Cool graphics, nice physics in the background... I wish the "turn left and right" buttons were a bit less sensitive but otherwise that's an original take on the theme :) Good job!

Well for the physics, I mean the objects, the bodies are thrown so fast!! That's one big sniper bullet hahaha!

Oh man, from the moment I read "ever wanted to be Kevin Costner from The Bodyguard" I knew this one was going to be good. So funny!

Really hard game! Good thing it's funny just to watch the character awkwardly fling himself around.

What a great entry! I had a bunch of fun with this, even with the simplicity. The turning controls need some serious tweaking but the ragdoll physics really make it worth while :D

A funny idea. Control are a bit off (especially left/right) and the precision it take is kinda frustrating. But it's original and the music for the fourth and last jump make me laugh.

The premise is a little... disturbing. But the graphics are AMAZING and the execution is great (no pun intended). This is very polished for 48 hours.

Woah, a little sensitive on the A/D keys, but pretty cool =]

Thanks for the feedback guys! I will definitely tune the controls.

Game was really fun.

LOL, you're right, it IS a lot like mine! Only my graphics are WAY more involved. ;) I loved your game. I was laughing outloud watching the President get shot and then seeing me dive in too late, or just diving way too short.

Nice touch with the song at the end as well. Maybe I should add that to my ending as well...

Well done.

Timing that jump is so hard, there's no way to know...I guess I'm not trained in the arts of body-guarding! I only got to level 2 :P

I had a good laugh every time that bullet hits the president. Not in a political way, but how ridiculously powerful that shot is. It must be rocket rounds.

Brilliant concept!

BRILLIANT. this game manages to maintain a pleasant verisimilitude with the more or less accurate physics.
futuristteletex28 Aug 2013, 22:55
came back to play it again.. =).. managed to jump in a circle to save the prez..

OH MY GOD! This is the most fun / hardest i've laughed in so long! Guys I'm giving you five freakin stars in humor and overall this is the gem of LD!

I got a kick out of the physics reactions to the shots. I LOL'd pretty hard at the finale. Cool game!
blackotus30 Aug 2013, 00:09
This was a very unique game, and funny too!

I had a laugh several times as I missed the mark and saw the president being thrown about ;P

Great premise, and great game!

Physics were a bit glitchy but it was actually quite fun. Cool Graphics! And loved the humor. Well done!

Well that was very silly and fun due to the ragdoll physics!

I have ALWAYS wanted to be Kevin Costner in 'The Bodyguard'! Highlights of this hugely enjoyable game for me were:

-The bullet is sensationally high-velocity.

-The bodyguard is wearing an implausibly tight suit.

-Whitney Houston.

I did actually complete the game and I was left wanting more. I really hope your Greenlight takes off. If it does, may I request a key which allows you to put your hand to your ear as if receiving unspecified instructions. :D

Really, great work!

Neat idea, but the execution was a little lacking. It was hard to determine when you jump or how to actually save him. Seemed like luck. Could see having a bullet time type mode where you could steer slightly and aim into the bullets path. Would develop this further, good idea.

laughed so much! the ending is hilarious!
Almax2731 Aug 2013, 00:03
Ok, I tried like 50 times, I never managed to save him :( , but that was really funny xD
Diogo Muller31 Aug 2013, 14:37
Finished it! The first and the last level are the hardest. The music at the last level is a REALLY nice touch. One of my favorites for sure!

You simply can't go wrong with physics-based flailing flying bodies - they are always hilarious. This is no exception. Nice game guys.

It was a bit difficult at first (too much trial and error) but it didn't made me quit the game, because it was fun :))
Static 6412 Sep 2013, 20:27
I've been here before, but I had to come back and play again. Good luck on greenlight.
