So I wanted to do a story about a cop killing batman.

But first thing I thought was NO WAY could a cop kill batman. Batman is invincible and can fly (or so I thought).

But my partner said he's actually a mutant who lives in a wheelchair. Sometimes he gets up using his powers (spider shots), and that's when you can kill him.

So I think that this story will not offend the comic geeks too much? Let me know if I drew Batman wrong.

(TW: references to violence, police brutality)

Nice! It's pretty rare to see story based games like this anymore

Love the little jazzy tune in the background!
I got a few endings and found a bug: you can go on with the text without choosing an option...
Funny entry!

Loved it. =D

Nice little game. Didn't think I'd get that much fun from a graphical text adventure game.

Most random game yet. :) (In reply to your comment on my game btw, I did the music by just busting out the guitar and playing around until I got something vaguely okay, sequenced up some bass and drums... job done!.. honestly sounds like you went to far more trouble and were far more creative with your music!)

You got lots of content in your game. Both conversations but also matching pictures combined with the music creating a nice atmosphere.

Original and creative. The characters and the story are reinforced really well by the visuals!

I do like how expressive the character images were. I got a few of the endings. It was interesting to see the different responses. I did notice the bottom of letters like 'y' and 'g' got cut off a bit.

*Cruel End* Oh. Whoops. But seriously, who doesn't want to fight Batman?
Anyway, funny game! I enjoyed the art style and quiet background music, and the dialogue was well written. Good work!

I enjoyed your game/story and the writing really had me chuckling some time. I think it was pretty good! You did a good job fleshing out the characters.

There's one thing however, I'd really like to address. The font. It might be just a personal preference or whatever but I suggest picking a different font for text-heavy games.

Still, good job!

Haha, this is really original and irreverent. Certainly one of the more unique games I've played here. Nice job!

The strangest story-based game I've played so far:) like the ambient though.
