EDIT: WE CAME FIRST IN HUMOUR! Thank you so very much!
Praise for Turtle Simulator:
"I have played 'Turtle Simulator', for the Gameboy Color, and been inspired by its musings on life, death, love, hate. The teachings of this video game will influence generations to come, I am sure of it." - Al Gore, 1998
"This...'Turtle Simulator'. It is not a simulator. It is a platform for great ideas. Millions will chant the tenets of the 'Turtle Simulator' ideology. The banners unfurl, the people march for 'Turtle Simulator'. The world watches, and waits with bated breath." -Al Gore, 1999
"In 'Turtle Simulator', man confronts his own mortality. It is a poignant window to the soul. My soul. Your soul. The world is reflected in the lens of 'Turtle Simulator'. Nothing escapes its capture." - Al Gore, 1997
I like the idea, and the presentation seems about right. I had some trouble getting into the game, though. Wasn't sure what I was supposed to do at the beginning, and I got killed by a dog.
I'm really happy about this game 1) It's a 'simulator' that doesn't really fall into the goat sim territory of being drawn out and stupid for the sake of attracting lets players 2) the music is really well done 3) fun writing
The gameplay is nothing revolutionary and it's a pretty surface-level interpretation of the theme. That being said, it more than makes up for it with its humor. Learning life lessons from a seagull with a self-help book and Art Garfunkel? Sure, why not!
I laughed the whole time. Really, REALLY funny game and I do not regret playing it in the slightest.
This game gives off a certain Frog Fractions vibe and I love it. The atmosphere conveyed through the dialogue and descriptions is subtle and hilarious.
After the Jellyfish let me through I think I got locked out of progression. I got the Love key, but I think I may have missed an item in the other building that I never entered.
What did I just play? That was weird, but funny, but philosophical. Al Gore has the right of it!
There were a few minor glitches with music not restarting after you die, or the blue underwater filter disappearing. They were all pretty inconsequential.
My absolute favorite part about these competitions is discovering gems such as these. This is certainly a masterpiece of turtle simulation software that deserves a special place on my hard drive.
Ahahha awesome game ! Everything is so well thought and funny, Tutorial Crab, nice name my good sir :P a real rebel and the pigeon king. Nice sound by the way hahaha :P I laughed a lot. Great work !
1. TCP786, the music was created with GBFont by MaliceX. 2. CharlieLove is probably gone, but the next item needed there is the Hate Key. It's attained by defeating all of the enemies in the Gallery (Body, Head, Face, and then Aphrodite). Probably shoulda signalled that easier. 3. tomhunt - the crab's dialog holds the (metaphorical) key to progressing
Absolutely loved it! Oddly, playing this reminds me of Dante, facing philosophers in purgatory and finding Lucifer in the deepest lair. Really enjoyed playing this.
I knew I was in for something special and you delivered. Art Garfunkel and the art fights in the gallery really sold it. So unique, quirky, and amusing. Great job, everyone!
This is an amazing adventure, and lengthy to boot. Genuinely funny dialogue. The Gameboy Color graphics style and audio put me off a little though, perhaps because it didn't always seem consistent.

(This game is pretty great. Slightly sad that the music stopped after I died and became a Dead Turtle.)
