Overview: -------------------------------------- Comedy/mindfu*k game about a scientist desiring to explore the neighbour world; Yeah this comp was kinda weak for me but I still hope you might find this funny and maybe entertaining :) 3 types of gameplay ^^
Warnings: -------------------------------------- *A bit of bad language for humor purposes [very light; some censored] *Implied sexual jokes
If you're stuck --------------------------------------- 1. The red things - these are lasers that push you away; 2. If you're about to get out of the screen - you won't so just don't touch anything and you'll get back control SPOILERS 3. The old dude - you have to ask the old dude question 3 and then ask again about 5 times until he answers [you won't see any difference until he starts speaking] 4. Where are the golden wings? - In the left [where you started] just kinda high. 5. How to reach them? - You can jump on the lasers ^^ [instead of pushing you aside they're keeping you from falling - but you have to follow them when they escape from the screen].
Easter eggs *SPOILERS* ------------------------------------- *If you get close enough to the turrets in a specific area it reveals a joke about who they are. *All the soundtracks are the same track edited differently: The first track is the second track slowed down + wah wah effect; The second track is the original mix; The third track is the second track reversed [Played as you arrive to the other world]
Tools -------------------------------------- Visual C++ Express 2010 DirectX SDK (June 2010) Gimp MS Paint Audacity My new Yamaha keyboard and [unfortunately cheap] cables for recording music
This was an odd one =) I liked the hand drawn style, and the RPG type conversations. The gameplay was a little glitchy though. But so was mine after only 48 hours. Cool game, and nice soundtrack!
Hard to finish the game, but i'm fan of the start of the game, and the hand drawn style. After that it's maybe too difficult because of the physics, and the collision, but still captivating, if it wasn't ludum dare (too many games to see) i will finish the game.
skullum: Yeah it's kinda wierd but it was meant to be light and funny; Maybe went a bit too far there lol About the lasers - yeah that's kind of the point you have to fold back and jump over or jump the others in order to move against the direction of movement. If you can't [there are 2 blocking you completely] you just have to let go and it'll pass through you cause I don't want you to get completely out of the world ... :P
It took me a really long time until I realised that my goal was *NOT* to go as far to the right as possible... that was a long walk back. I appreciated the joke about the turrets. And I was nearly stuck at the screen after you get the wings back, because I forgot that I had to press Enter to advance dialoge. Music was loud, but fit the atmosphere really well. A really strange experience^^
kliance09: Sorry I thought this stuff was obvious ... I'm glad someone noticed the turrets joke :P Srry the music was a bit amplifyed , turning the volume down fixes it. Yeah I agree; it is strange haha hope you still enjoyed it =)
slowfrog: Haha It's just for having fun ... the plot kinda comes accross the point and relation to the theme but it's mostly a light game - random 3 types of gameplay ... not one type as traditionally seen here XD So yeah in that regard kind of "pointless", but who said gameplay has to be consistent? I just wanted to have fun and while I'm doing it maybe giving a "different experience" to the player. Actually this kind of games are classified as "mindfu*k" or "random" even though it got its plot [IDK if u got it XD] - the way of telling it is abnormal haha Having some jokes about RPG guide conversations, being hit by a meteor cause why not ? And yeah ... it's not a complex consistent gameplay or traditional game but you shouldn't take everything about this game seriously that's all. [There are some parts you should actually think about, but most of this happens after playing cause I tried to give the game a comedic mood haha]
I feel like I enjoyed this more than I should have! In it's extreme simplicity in gameplay and graphics, it has a lot of charm. Although I didn't feel much of a sense of achievement or being interested in what the goal was or how I was supposed to solve the problem, I really enjoyed it.
