That's what we said to our parents. In fact, the idea came out in the craziest possible brainstorming about buttons, robots, and blue dogs. We spend a lot of times finding funny sounds, cool graphics and silly jokes. We rushed to implement levels the last day, in the last hours.
We spend time thinking about each thing, and we hope this game will make you think. It was really fun to make, and we hope it will be fun for you to play too. :)
It's our second game in cooperation, as usual : - Blazingzboub (Graphics, Voice actor, Game Design) - Pyrofoux (Code, Silly Jokes, Game Design)
@tpmxyz. The red buttons only works when the page is fully loaded, so you may need to wait a few secs before you can start the game. If it still doesn't work, please tell me which navigator you're using. :)
I really liked the dialogue! Normally I'm not much of a reader but the topic really got me interested. Nicely done! Funny game (: Just not really anything I'd 'play' for long, but that's okay! Also the style worked really well with the sillyness, although the graphics themselves could've been a bit better in my opinion.
Really fun to play. I finally passed on my 3rd try with 5/10. I agree with t4u on skipping text, but only the beginning part. Once the test begins, I don't think you should be able to skip. But the beginning part seems to take a long time when you are playing a second time.
I really would have loved a speed-up button. I get your point about the game only being about the text, but you also expect us to play through it multiple times when one wants to see all answers, and then it's really annoying having to wait for the same text to finish for the 10th time... The post-compo version without the intro made this a lot better, else I wouldn't have bothered playing it multiple times.
But nonetheless I really liked the humour. This is one of the funniest games I have seen this LD. :D It's just... that I hate waiting.
Also, would it have been so hard to create a restart button, other than having to re-load the site completely. (My internet isn't the fastest, so reloading that takes again around 12 seconds.)
Yep, we're aware of that and thanks for this nice feedback ! :-)
The thing is, time was a precious thing during this Ludum Dare and we barely finished the game on time... Next time, you will hae 146848415135187 Restart buttons !
You may need to wait until the page fully load before the Begin the Test could work. A good way to see if the page is fully loaded is to check the "loading" icon in the tab corner. Still spinning = still loading
Quite the funny game! I Included it in part 13 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/yuPvpTdD-O8

We didn't want the player to skip every dialog to get to the end, it's not the point. We want you to read our silly jokes :)
