Hey all! Hope you all had a great Ludum Dare 31! :D

What we have here is a strange little program where you argue with the game menu. We took "Entire Game on one Screen" to mean the entire game is played on the menu screen. The game is just meant to be lighthearted quirky fun and is by no means considered brilliant or amazing by its authors. Unfortunately there wasn't a whole lot of time for us to work this weekend so what we were able to do was limited.

With that said, enjoy! This game has only been tested on Windows, but may work on Mac and Linux as well.

I love text-based games, also like that you programmed it in python

Thanks! Python is great for text-base games I think.

Im not a fan of text based games, but it was an interesting idea for the theme.

Thank you!

Hah, that's a new interpretation of the theme. I liked the tone, it sounded like the offspring of GlaDOS and Mr T. This game would be very hard for people without the right geek background -- then again, how many of those play text games? :)

I did cheat by looking at the code, because I wanted to see where it was going, and many of the tests are quite arbitrary and unforgiving.

Works perfectly on my Ubuntu system, for what it's worth. Just run "python main.py".

Thanks man, I appreciate that. I had GLaDOS in mind while my friend and I made this. :)

I admit it. I laughed. A lot. Thank you for this gem. Very well done, and best of luck!

Thanks man, my friend and I specifically decided to shoot for humor on this one. :D

There's no school like old school
Fits the theme perfectly!

Confirmed that the .exe doesn't run on Mac using Wine.
Played this on my desktop, love text-based stuff!

Eggplantauthor10 Dec 2014, 20:23

Thanks Si1ver! And I'm glad you were able to play it BtheDestroyer!

Really fun and hilarious game. Nice work.

blzkz18 Dec 2014, 23:28

Didn't spect that! It was fun! :)

Every programmer loves putting together the occasional conversation machine. This fit the theme. I'll admit I said "Alright, I get it." outloud once or twice.

Fun and simple, but with good humor!

Eggplantauthor19 Dec 2014, 04:57

Thank you all! We really appreciate it.

Great game, pal. I loved it a LOT!

So, I hope y'all are planning on participating in April next year, eh?

Eggplantauthor26 Dec 2014, 01:06

Thank you! And yes, we were planning on it. :D
