Got stuck in an invisible wall. The woman spoke in the same voice as the man? Graphics are great, though.

Loved the Audio, pretty rare in Jams!
Nice prototype, I hope to see a full game! (:

Hah. Postal meets Mad Max? :D You tweeting how "terrible" it is lowered my expectations quite a bit I guees. Because I liked it quite a bit. Especially the talking sounds. :D

I feel bad >>>:

While there were bugs here and there (I crashed when I first talked to the woman and I also got stuck in a sea of bodies while collecting coins), I feel like the mood and feel of this game has made it my favourite game of the jam. Excellent job!

I like the part when the game is tripping balls so hard that it implodes into oblivion

Nice pixel art and fabulous sound. Good job, and keep doing original games with unique gameplays ;-)

The music is strongest side of the game. Also liked the "madness effect". Missed the minimap and more detailed plot)

That ending.
Deconstructeam you are incredible... my mind is blown... I have to lay down for a minute... I am in a half-conscious hypnotic state right now

I spent a good time playing it, and now I feel guilty.

Congratulations for that mind-blowing use of Game Maker :D

Totally not smiling.
But this is awesome.

Nice pixel art and sound! Isn't that bad like you tweet!

Once you get past the bugs (I got stuck against the buildings twice at the beginning and had to restart) the game is a disturbing experience, which makes it a great match for the theme. Graphics and audio are top notch, as expected, so it is a pity that bugs got in the way. Will you attempt a post-jam version?

In any case, good job!

Craaaaazy game! I'm glad you warned me about the game content, I was better prepared for the insanity ^^ At least I didn't kill my sister, I feel kinda great about that, it's nice to have the choice. Unfortunately I stuck my super bike in the black house at the mission where I had to drive on 40 people :( Mmmh, let's restart...

Okay this time I finished. I kill my sister because I'm a freakin' monsta. Full stars for the theme, clearly :D I appreciated the psychedelic bad trip you provided.

Are you even allowed to still compete ? XD Well I think this entry shows great potential in terms of mood, look and feel, but there are some disturbing bugs and the core gameplay itself was lacking some fun / skill involved. Anyway, it's beautiful and sounds great so congrats still

Very complete game, as always!
I had a bug where npcs got scaled in Y and my character got strange rotations. Just after finishing the kill 5 people quest.

Haaa... Awesomeness re-invented. Brilliant idea. Very cool gameplay mechanics.
Xanjos7 Sep 2015, 20:56
Damn, that is one seriously f'd up game. Brilliant take on the theme and I love how the game's sudden glitching represents the player's current state of mind.

The idea for this was fantastic! I love the post-apocaliptic atmosphere and I was especially intrigued by the camera tricks. I might even implement them in some of my future projects, so great job! The gameplay was fun and a nice base for a great game! The story was nice and the trippy-ness was quite well done. A few issues, though. I repeatedly got stuck on the building. It was very annoying as I had to restart. The other thing is that the girls seamed to have the same voice as the guys. Other than that, fantastic entry!

Well this was an experience... I wouldn't say I "enjoyed" it. But it is a very well made, very disturbing, game

Very cool experience. I'd totally play a more fleshed out game set in this world.

Interesting. I like the bike-hook.

The look and sound is very cool and builds good mood. Also thumbs for the cam/color/perception-experiment - very fitting. Sadly i got stuck in the gatehouse-sprite after the "collect coins" several times. A pitty, because id totally spent some more time in this mad world.
