Hi, this is my Ludum Dare 31 Jam entry

The game was made in 8 hours. I hadn't time to polish things up and add new content, sorry for that! But I think you may have fun for a couple of seconds :)

Description:
You play as a deer which rides a TV. Survive as long as you can.
Deer is a synonyme for Game and Screen is a synonyme for TV, so the theme will be used more than 1 time in the game ;)

Controls:
Left/Right arrow keys to move
Up to jump
Enter to start the game
R to restart the game.

Music by http://balderdact.newgrounds.com/

Genres: platformer

graphic and sound are great but difficulty is so frustrating at the beginning.

I love how you interpreted the theme! Controls were easy. I just wish there would be more obstacles/enemies :)
All in all great game!

Deer riding a TV lol =)) this made my day

Impressive work for 8 hours! Nice oddball art style and I love the entrance the deer makes on the tv. A bit more randomness and different enemy types and this could be really fun.

Haha funniest game I've seen yet. I'd love to have followed your brain as it went from "So, the theme is Entire Game On One Screen" to "You play a deer riding a TV who dodges hunters shooting at him (but he can blow them up when he lands on them)."

It made us giggle a couple of times! Interest take on the theme.

Super polished for 8 hours, nice job on that! And good music as well :)
The obstacles seem a bit sporadic in that spikes can appear right under the hunters, which might get frustrating.
Overall really fun game though, great work!

Impossible to play, always die when I see the first hunter. Maybe its just me, if you go too far to the right you die automatically. Frustrating.

This is a excellent game, I love what you did with the parallax and the gameplay mechanics.

This was really hard for such a simple game, very well done for 8 hours. Very clever use of the theme.

Somehow, this simple game became my favorite out of the whole jam so far. You hooked me with the title - then the "I see what you did there moment" with the "Entire game [deer] on a screen" thing.

The music is catchy, the action is over-the-top, and it's all very polished. If I were to change one thing, I would make the spikes move at the same speed as the hunters - it would make more sense visually, and be a bit easier. I was killed so many times by trying to land on a hunter and then a random spike comes up right where I'm landing.

It's a fun and challenging game, although the music was rather distracting. Overall, it's an impressive game, especially since it was made in eight hours.

Very clever. I love how you interpret the themes of these jams. It was definitely fun for a bit and made me laugh. I think this will have a huge following just because of how silly it is :)

Cool but kind of hard. Great use of the theme though!!

It's fun to play. Nice interpretation. ;)

Funny entry, while the game looks fine and controls well, it's difficult to get anywhere from first hunter, because those spikes/rocks keep spawning too close to them, making you die right away when you try to hit hunters.

Fun game, liked the backgrounds but they contrast a little with the foreground assets; nice effect of the hunters crashing on the screen.

Lots of fun; left me wanting more content. :D Great take on the theme!

How could I not try a game called Heer Dunter! Awesomely silly, I like your overly literal take on the theme and the oddly unfitting techno music. Quite difficult and slightly frustrating to actually play, but still, funny stuff.

pretty hilarious. great gfx. decent muzak.
maybeimelias11 Dec 2014, 00:47
Fun interpretation, great sound, and the game had a lot of potential! I'd play this a lot more if there were more obstacles/enemies.

funny game

Haha entire game on one screen. Man, you made me laugh so hard ! Nice little game, nice presentation, music is errrhhh, not my taste :P

Very silly game, I like it! The mechanics are simple but the concept is pretty funny, with a deer riding a TV! Nice music too, well done!

Clever take on the theme. I had fun for more than a couple seconds.
nkling14 Dec 2014, 02:41
Nice idea for interpreting the theme. I really enjoyed the title screen being a zoom in of the tv that the deer is riding. I also really like the hunter smacking into the screen, nice touch.
