Original, but not very fun on a pc

Was the "why is my head hurting?" autobiographical? Because parasites are no laughing matter. Good entry!
jrap28 Apr 2014, 04:49
that's okay, i didn't need any sleep after making games for 48 hours anyway.
Colorvade28 Apr 2014, 05:15
Well that was novel. One of the more original and accurate takes on the theme.
jtpup028 Apr 2014, 05:20
Awesome, I thought it would be cheerful and happy, but then I looked beneath the surface.

That was weird... morbid... and somehow comical.
Quite entertaining but quite offsetting for younger audiences as well.

It's good overall.

I like that you automatically remove the last bits of the top layer if it's empty enough.
JavadocMD28 Apr 2014, 06:28
Wow. Disturbing and satisfying all at the same time.

That was a whole new level of creepy. :P

Nice one, a little bit laggy
Kar28 Apr 2014, 07:29
That was amazing! Maybe not a real game as it is defined, but the great concept of game/app!

Not technically a game, but... It was quite original, I have to admit. :p

Great fit to theme.
John Drury28 Apr 2014, 07:56
Difficult to scratch with a mouse.
GAFBlizzard28 Apr 2014, 07:58
This is impressive and creative, but in the "Please seek psychological help" way rather than the "This is a good thing" way. :/ I realize it may be artistic expression, but please consider it.
Custard Games28 Apr 2014, 08:26
That was.... dark. Yet somehow it really intrigued me. I'm not sure I'll ever understand it... xD
terraco28 Apr 2014, 08:43
As an aspiring psychopath I can see I still have a long way to go. Thanks for opening my eyes
hissssssssss28 Apr 2014, 09:52
I love the children's-book aesthetic! You expect something different from what actually shows up.
Sam Oates Games28 Apr 2014, 10:37
Well that was different and some of the things made me lol.

Nice work.
Chaoclypse28 Apr 2014, 10:45
Weird and morbid. Interesting!
Druid
Druid28 Apr 2014, 12:38
Maybe boring, but art is amazing!
Foofur28 Apr 2014, 12:48
Disturbing but funny in a way. Really fits the theme.
Caridorc28 Apr 2014, 13:38
This was so unexpected and 'beneath the surface'... Scary sometimes but very intense and interesting. Very good!
flrn28 Apr 2014, 13:43
fun, sometimes I went through multiple layers at once though
madhoe
madhoe28 Apr 2014, 14:14
...I did not just spend 15 minutes just scratching pages off, did I?
PapyGaragos
PapyGaragos28 Apr 2014, 15:09
It's nice to see a game that uses the theme as a mechanic instead of using it as a context :)
That's a nice graphical effect you have there, removing a layer feels right. Also I like the (rare) sounds effects :)
Korwegian28 Apr 2014, 16:51
WHUT?! WHUT?! WHUT?! O_O Can you make the cocaine scratch 'n sniff?
Tanner28 Apr 2014, 18:33
Nice! How many pictures have you made?
Pietro Ferrantelli
Pietro Ferrantelli28 Apr 2014, 20:44
Neat ! It's really fun and addictive ! It reminds me Molyneux's Curiosity : what's inside the cube :) Great job !
lamphj
lamphj28 Apr 2014, 22:55
Creepy! nice job :)
mollymus28 Apr 2014, 23:43
Pretty cool tech, but could've used some actual gameplay:p Extra points for your approach on the theme!
MidCry29 Apr 2014, 00:11
Some how remind me of Cube (22 Cans) ... Good Job
TomCooper3D29 Apr 2014, 00:22
nice work! i felt the urge to scratch through to the bottom and erase the whole game all at once. damn your layer limit
Newt_29 Apr 2014, 01:04
Well, that was...unique.

pinkmonkeyhead29 Apr 2014, 04:18
I played in fullscreen at night... now I can't sleep hahaha
I lol'd many times though
Awesome mechanics!
Lost King
Lost King29 Apr 2014, 05:44
Haha, wasn't expecting some of the things I found inside. This was great. Good job!
Secret_Tunnel29 Apr 2014, 06:01
That was a really freaking cool concept. For a second I thought there might be some sort of secret confidential war document under there or something and the game was gonna take a huge twist... THAT would have blown my mind. But yeah, take this concept and make my dream game. I'll be waiting.

danidre1429 Apr 2014, 06:12
Ahhh I liked it. Spiders! Worms! Very fun indeed.
Skywilly
Skywilly29 Apr 2014, 06:29
Very fun and the theme is perfectly respected ;)
Logun29 Apr 2014, 06:43
Very pleasant to discover all these images ! :) I can't stop digging !
GeorgeBroussard29 Apr 2014, 08:04
Pretty brilliant. Love the uncovering effect (will have to dig into the source for this) :) I went through all the pics until the started repeating and assume that was all there was? I really enjoyed myself. Fun on a basic level.
greysphere29 Apr 2014, 10:18
Cool, you turned my Cintiq into a new gaming platform! That was really disturbing. Good sense of humor ... I hope?
BlazingFanfish
BlazingFanfish29 Apr 2014, 10:54
Not sure if the scrapping is gonna end or not :v
I choose to end it myself. Might've better if something happened and ended it. :)
Jonochrome29 Apr 2014, 12:01
Awesome idea and presentation, although I managed to severely glitch out the game with loads of layers at once several times. Unless that isn't a glitch, but it sure feels like it wasn't intended.
conormn29 Apr 2014, 12:58
That was really great! Incredibly well executed too! Well done.
Mekuri29 Apr 2014, 17:17
This was different- I imagine it's more entertaining and satisfying on a tablet- Nonetheless points for originality and good use of the theme!
Afal
Afal29 Apr 2014, 20:55
Cool! Don't have a tablet but I can imagine it works pretty well with the revealing mechanic :)
rubna29 Apr 2014, 21:40
very original! Scratching stuff away was very satisfying :3 Maybe it would have been cool if there had been some sort of underlying narrative thing, but that's just an idea.

Great work!
IAmSpencer29 Apr 2014, 22:11
That was really unique gameplay mechanic. Great take on the theme, kept me interested. Good job :)
GFM
GFM29 Apr 2014, 22:52
This was really interesting and funny... but it got tiresome with a mouse...
Still, I played until it started repeating and the some more. Really nice game!!
Boodog30 Apr 2014, 00:16
Good job! Pretty original :)
Secret_Tunnel30 Apr 2014, 01:35
Oh wait, I didn't realize that there was more to it than just that first and second layer! Alright, this was pretty great. Glad I played it a second time!
Jake_Cohen30 Apr 2014, 02:18
This was super neat! I wish i owned a tablet
TobiasW
TobiasW30 Apr 2014, 02:58
Haha - I like it. It's certainly not very fun to play on a computer, but I have no idea how I'd do it otherwise, so who am I to criticize that? The child-book like look and feel is well executed either way.

While it wasn't fun to *play*, it certainly was a lot fun to see all the different unexpected images and the things that happened.

I'd love to have the same with music (maybe something inappropriately upbeat?) - and in a non-random order. Especially not with things repeating before I've seen everything.

Apart from that: I quite enjoyed it. Thanks a lot!
noom30 Apr 2014, 03:54
I thought this was going to be pleasant and almost like a children's story book. I feel very uncomfortable right now.
RyotaRaven55
RyotaRaven5530 Apr 2014, 06:27
Creepy...yet very good. Good job!

Scratching off the surface of each page was pretty satisfying.
Hypnohustla
Hypnohustla30 Apr 2014, 07:33
Great thinking on the theme. 5 stars on that department definitely. :) Those spiders were a really cool addition. Thanks for making this, really happy to have played it :)

Nice concept, the scratching is fun! Not to sure about the message though :)

spotco30 Apr 2014, 08:58
lol wut
(played on a tablet too, so I got the real experience)
randoman30 Apr 2014, 10:25
I liked the animation, but it gets tiresome after some time.
Filecreation30 Apr 2014, 11:32
Kind of dark humor, but theres nothing wrong with that.
It did bug out the first time I ran it, where it wouldnt stop "cleaning" the slates. Maybe its an idea to put in a button that you need to press to clean the top layer off.

I loved the whole scratch-off-surface though!
ezolotko30 Apr 2014, 12:33
Yeah. This is it.

pancakecity30 Apr 2014, 17:03
There was a glitch on one of my playthroughs where parts of random pages appeared and disappeared suddenly, and bugs and spiders kept spawning. I was horrified
Gins30 Apr 2014, 17:19
This is a book I wouldn't read to my kids ._.
At least not unless they really deserve it :)
orangepascal
orangepascal30 Apr 2014, 19:53
interesting take on the theme, could use a bit more gaming elements I guess, but it sure kept me busy for a while :)
Martin_Monosys30 Apr 2014, 21:54
Great game, keeps you going until you've seen it all, or at least you think you've seen it all...! :) Very creepy, too!
metkis30 Apr 2014, 23:06
Interesting premise, I wish there was more of a game to it.
BoneDaddy1 May 2014, 02:06
This is beyond awesome. The lighting on the tile is really good. The creepiness of the maggots and the spiders! I LOVE IT! I think it might be a bit glitchy though

tomvert1 May 2014, 09:38
What ??? My family is robots ??? Funniest entry yet ! :D I love it. Perfect dark humour, the scratching mechanic matches the theme perfectly. Perfect for tablet !
conno12341 May 2014, 14:05
The scratch off effect was so cool!
recursor
recursor1 May 2014, 17:41
Very cool effect rubbing away the layers and quite an original idea.
badlydrawnrod1 May 2014, 20:21
That is very clever. I was surprised by the spiders.
Loneshark2 May 2014, 00:40
Well that was certainly different!
hyouko2 May 2014, 02:02
Delightfully gross.
jacklehamster
jacklehamster3 May 2014, 04:52
Interesting idea, but I would have liked some sort of story to follow. The images seem a bit random
GamerTaters
GamerTaters3 May 2014, 11:51
Great interpretation of the theme. Very original. That parasites one was pretty dark, wasn't expecting it. Well done.
Thorig
Thorig3 May 2014, 15:31
Not really a game, but a nice entry.

Really came alive when those bugs came out! :)

Good mood, whether or not the mood was disturbing is another question

AWESOME. I loved the part where that punk found out he had parasites. He was a jerk anyway.
Garris5 May 2014, 05:36
Very good use of theme, and extremely innovative/unique. It felt a little janky on pc, but you some things just work better on tablets. Good job, and that was a rad alligator.
gmaker5 May 2014, 18:42
its high five!!
matthias_zarzecki6 May 2014, 05:03
Ha, great :D

I love how you don't explain anything, and you figure it out via going "what do I around hereohhhhhhhhh"
Nezzhil6 May 2014, 16:44
Weird, dark , but interesting idea
zebi24
zebi247 May 2014, 11:02
I like this a lot, such a cool effect to scratch the surface, really unique, the most interesting entry so far.

Original concept, great way to read tablet books for kids! Clever use of the theme. Would have been great with more noises or some music :)
elefantopia
elefantopia11 May 2014, 00:21
Wow, I didn't think I would enjoy scratching off the pages as much as I did. Creepiness with the spiders! Very cool entry.
King_Mew12 May 2014, 01:03
Well, that was interesting. It was a bit glitchy for me and I ended up going through multiple layers with one stroke for some reason. Unless that was intended?
Moosefly17 May 2014, 00:25
That picture did not prepare me for what was coming! Even though it isn't much of a game, it was a superb experience with a satisfying amount of interactivity. I think it worked really nicely on a computer too, even though on a tablet this would've probably been epic. Now you just need to create more content and wait for while the cash rolls in :P.

klianc0917 May 2014, 15:06
Really great, but scratching multiple surfaces at once can get quite laggy.
Nanolotl
Nanolotl19 May 2014, 03:46
Very original idea, and was quite amusing. It would have been more enjoyable if it was limited to only removing one layer at a time though as I feel like I missed things by only ever seeing half of some layers. (That may have been a bug, but I'm not sure)
rylghauthor19 May 2014, 06:44
Yeah... removing multiple layers at once was an ill-conceived feature, not a bug.

Thanks for the feedback, and thanks to everyone else for theirs as well.
