QPWO TO PLACE HANDS. SQUEEZE BOIL. REMOVE MONSTER AND WIN!
---
Source is included in Windows download (GameMaker 8.1 file). Today I also fixed some of the collision detection and made the boil react appropriately to more than two hands at a time (previously, pinning the boil down with one hand and using two others to squeeze it did not work depending on the hands used).
Oh man, very hard to get used to the control scheme, but this is a really cool idea! I'd love to see you develop it further, though an explanation of how to maneuver yourself around more easily would be much appreciated. Awesome work!
I like the weird mood, haha. Definitely unique, I really enjoyed trying this one, and the effect is pretty satisfying when you get the boil to explode.
I saw one of your posts during the compo and I immediatly wante dto give your entry a try. I have to say gameplay is as original and appealing as the graphics are. Sound is brilliant too. I love it.
I really didn't know what to do just by playing the game, but the controls were definitely interesting. I also like the sort of minimalist/peppy style.
This seems very interesting, but i couldnt figure out what to fo for the life of me. Only after several minutes i found out i have to hold down a key to make the ball thing move in its direction, then i managed to drive that little monster thing into all corners of the map, but nothing ever happened. I also cant figure out what i am actually supposed to squeeze. What is that dark stuff at the bottom?
I think this could be very fun if i actually know what i am supposed to do. How about a bit more of a description?
Hey, thanks for playing everyone! To those that were stuck: you're supposed to squeeze the boil that is squiggling around and running away from you. I'll add some arrows that point it out in the next build.
Best game so far for me, it's so unique, as it has been said it reminds me of wario ware, qwop and many weird game. Surprisingly it feels "complete" even though there is no other objective than fighting this underground beast forever.About the controls have you tried different control scheme, I have no idea if it can be better, but it didn't felt quite right, still I could get use to it. Great job, thank you. (do you make other games ?)
It took me a while to understand what was going on, but once I did the game turned out to be a blast to play. The crawling mechanic bent my brain at just the right angle, and was responsive, unique, and fun enough to carry the entire game. Also, the fact that there's only one level isn't that much of a problem, given how easy it is to jump right back in for another round (which I've been finding myself doing a lot lately). And it was QUITE satisfying to win, too. ;) Great job!

feel like a fool i didn't realise what the boil was for the first 30s then it took me a couple of tries to work out how squeezing worked
