Don't be afraid! Lagman is here to save your life fighting those badass soldiers!
Use your lag as a weapon and collide with the enemies. They will explode from the inside as soon as Lagman spawns on their position. He is unstoppable!
The game is fully playable and has 4 levels.
Enjoy!
Objective: - Complete each stage killing all the soldiers

Wow this game is annoying but that's what makes it fun/funny! I wouldn't call lag a 'weapon' or 'anything else that's actually useful,' but it was still interesting to play a client-side that had extreme server-side style lag.
And serious, nice take on the theme, graphics are cool, but the sound is great because it is so mellow and calm, while the player would be raging... Cool entry :)
Even if the lag isn't real the frustration sure is. Good thing the rest of the levels were easier than that first one. I must've spent at least five minutes on one of the platforms there. Loved the idea and execution, but I hope for the love of God that no one ever makes a game like this again :D.
I like how @Cheshyr put it: "i kind of hate your game, but in a good way."!
This game is so frustrating that I'm now addicted. I will have to dig some old US Robotics modem to play some FPS online, thank you for the miserable time :D
I think this is the most creative/unconventional weapon I see in this LD. Good job, the game is awesome.
I think the lag should be an ability of player, or it should be explicitly shown to player, when the next lag will occur, so he knows exactly when to jump safely, and when to attack:-) The idea is funny
Ha, this is a funny take on something that (thankfully!) most of us don't have to deal with these days. It skews towards frustrating occasionally, but generally you can persevere and get through the levels pretty successfully. Good job!
FYI, I've fixed the bug that stopped you progressing in our game - please give it another shot if you feel like it! Cheers.
Haha, top marks for originality and theme. Really Meta! I like the music and sound and the graphics are fine. The only thing is: your weapon is a frustraing and annoying thing, and it still is when playing. So I didn't played it to the end.

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one :D)
realisation is good like it very much for the concept ;)
I have mixed feelings about this game :D
I wanted to beat a few levels but never quite got used to the LAG! Great idea and caused me 5 minutes or pure frustration.
Not even sure how I would go about coding that lol!
