A quick 5 minute or less game. Even quicker if you don't like it.

"You are the monster"! All you need to do is hit space and watch it unfold.

There is a secret revealed when you complete the game, so spend those 10 minutes unlocking everything because frankly, it's worth it.
(There's been a lot of people stating they can't figure out the secret... Think of konami, and if you still can't get it googling "Konami" and "secret codes" should get you there ;) )

Thanks for playing :)

Got 4/7 endings. Neat way to affect the story.

Neat little game! it was fun to see what all those duders said.
TailyILoveYou26 Aug 2015, 01:31
Neat little idea, and the secret mode was pretty funny XD

That was actually worth replaying 14 times lol! Great job. Never thought to do a variable narrative like this before!
corupta26 Aug 2015, 01:34
Ok, I feel so idiotic to be unable to reveal the secret. Cool game other than that, nice idea actually.
Loutrattitude26 Aug 2015, 01:36
Good intentions, ideas, realisation, music, tuto ^^, voices ^^. More dynamism would have been better ! ;)
Mark Venturelli26 Aug 2015, 01:49
Nice! I did a story thing too, maybe you'll like it

Great concept :-) got most of the different endings

Quiet day.

Also, ending is way worth.

Innovative use of storytelling and allowing the player to influence the story, well done! Secret mode is definitely worth it, though it took me 3 rounds of staring at the clue to figure it out (but then I kicked myself for not figuring it out sooner).
P.T.A26 Aug 2015, 05:09
Innovative and simple, with lots of endings, very interesting!
Azure_Kyte26 Aug 2015, 11:43
This is the most amazing thing since sliced bread. Well. Maybe not *quite*, but it was still extremely well put together. Great job :D

Cool idea, I got all the endings :), couldn't figure out the secret tho.
DrZanuff26 Aug 2015, 12:02
Genius! Fun concept. Just a few entries have Voice Acting, and yet, yours are pretty good.
wg_phancock26 Aug 2015, 12:21
Neat game. Still no idea what the secret was supposed to be.
squarepug26 Aug 2015, 12:32
For originality this is awesome! I managed to unlock all the stories, and I read the note, but I went back to the tutorial and didnt really get it, nothing was different? Anyway, perhaps I missed something. The voice acting is really cool too.

texus26 Aug 2015, 12:53
Fun game. It took some time to figure out the hint for the secret though.

Got all the endings ! Fun little game. But I didn't know how to activate the secret ^^'

Interesting mechanic, can't say I've ever seen anything like this before. Keep it up!
Erlend Aakre29 Aug 2015, 00:33
haha, funny tutorial :D

Found it quite fun, unlocked all 7 versions of the play. Got a bit repetitive at the end, and adding more game mechanics would probably be good. Definitely an interesting concept, and the sound and graphics were all good.
wooltech29 Aug 2015, 01:12
Well, that was great.

HotBoxGames30 Aug 2015, 01:09
This game was great! :D

Funny from start to finish, loved the varied endings. The idea of taking this further and having multiple plays with different characters interjecting and changing the storyline is exciting! :p

Great idea for Ludum Dare, setting was spot on and added to the humour, voice acting was also great - props to those guys. Oh.. and LARDUM FU YEAH! :)
Forlorn7930 Aug 2015, 14:46
I liked this game overall, although I thought it would be even more fun if the scene went on longer in each story. The best part was the secret song that made me feel like the setting changed to Africa!
panda
panda30 Aug 2015, 21:26
Wow, it's amazing how much fun you squeezed into such a simple mechanic! Great job! The graphics are great, the sound is fun, and you even included a menu and options, nice polish! Great job!
Evergreen Games31 Aug 2015, 02:27
So funny!!!! 5 stars on humor. every ending was great. the secret is totally worth it

Ha, cute concept! I love the idea of changing the narrative based on just the one simple decision. Well-presented and enjoyable!
Indiestry31 Aug 2015, 13:53
Fun Concept, some nice humor here and there and good polish for a 72h game. I would love to have a way to completely mess up the play, just for fun, but maybe I simply didn`t find it ;).
jcwelgemoed31 Aug 2015, 14:45
Fun concept. Definitely keeps you trying again and again. could only get 6/7 though :).

Loved the secret ending, really funny game
hdong31 Aug 2015, 22:49
Mouse disappeared from the screen so it was hard to click options, though I feel that may be something going wrong on my side. Using chrome if that means anything.
Funny and a very polished game overall!
TsN_RaMPaGE31 Aug 2015, 22:52
LOL. Really funny, and anything with a secret code is OK in my book. And as funny as you made this, I think the concept could be expanded to make some really cool narrative type games.

UncleChris31 Aug 2015, 23:08
I got 6 of 7 - :) Can't figure out last one, have to grind more chickens I thinks. Awesome game, really a lot of fun and near game mechanic.

I triggered the code but didn't see how it's affect the game ?
Is it the guy in pain singing ?

Antokolos31 Aug 2015, 23:16
Really really cool and fun game, we laughed a lot :)
We are fans of nonlinear plot and Interactive Fiction games, so this game mechanic was very interesting for us, among other things.
Got all the endings, but not the secret one :( Maybe we'll try again!
Gamepopper
Gamepopper31 Aug 2015, 23:22
I've got to admit, I really found the self-awareness and the voice acting hilarious.

Managed to get all endings, although I can only get one achievement (I'm certain the second one is based on the konami code, but I don't know where to enter it).

The timing during the scene is quite a clever way to get different endings, really novel.

I somehow got 21/7 endings!

I feel like I did something.

Couldnt figure out secret but this am was hilarious regardless. Good job!

Got all the ends and the secret one :D (clues on the newgrounds comments). Really smart concept here, kind of choose your own adventure, which is really nice and entertaining. I would like to try more games like this one :). Good job!
Xanjos1 Sep 2015, 01:03
Managed to unlock all endings without using the code. Anyway, absolutely loved the humour in this entry.

Looks like we got all of the endings. Interesting and kind of sweat.

Wonderful game! I loved the mechanic. I love how with really simple input you managed to create all kinds of stories. It was really fun to discover all the endings!

I love how depending on where you enter actually changes the story! It's a nice little mechanic that got me playing over and over again to see how the game would play out!
Very nice entry!
Dizzly3 Sep 2015, 01:35
The idea behind this is very powerful. Changing the ending depending when entering the scene. Great job!

Innovative and simple. I didn't expect much going into the game, but I was pleasantly surprised. Crazy how a game about pushing space at different times can create a humourous and entertain experience :)

zatyka3 Sep 2015, 01:43
One of the most unique takes on the theme. You got a lot of mileage out of a very simple mechanic. I enjoyed playing.

marvalgames3 Sep 2015, 01:45
what a unique "experience"
Short but pretty special. Still trying to figure things out.
Do you normally make games like this because you have a knack?
BoskoSokolov3 Sep 2015, 01:49
First LD game that made me laugh, nice job. :D
BluShine
BluShine3 Sep 2015, 02:28
Funny little game. Great touch with the "unlocked endings" counter, and the achievement for getting them all. More of an animation than a game, but still enjoyable.
IonProgramming
IonProgramming3 Sep 2015, 02:46
Really well polished, and fun! Cool idea too! Can't say I've played a game like that before! Nice work!
Secret ending was well worth it!

Loved it. Although the dialogue was difficult to understand at times and the volume wasn't really well balanced.
cgmorton3 Sep 2015, 03:36
Haha what a great little game. Your humor is pretty on point.
pirate_shell3 Sep 2015, 08:33
When I fisrt saw this, I wasn't going in with high expectations, to be honest. I was completely proven wrong, as soon as I opened the game. This might not be the most complex, or length-y or pretty game LD has to offer but it has tonnes of charm which I often find sticks with players much longer than any great pixel art. As soon as I checked out the tutorial I knew this game was going to be something else and I enjoyed it as a whole. It was funny, joked around with RPG and fairy tale tropes well and the voice acting was nice and really added a lot, especially for the monster. Overall, I feel this is one of the most charming and memorable entries I have seen so far!

Well done comrade! :)

Loading this game in newgrounds is quite slow for me. Finally I found 7 but not the secret >_<
Great audio and voice acting. (Why I cannot rate for audio?)
Nice job!

very good game, I really took that 10 minutes to unlock all endings and the secret code :)
Apostrophe10 Sep 2015, 00:43
Very innovative. Loved to see the butterfly effect from all the different points you could enter the story.
Kain.Oborin11 Sep 2015, 16:50
I'm sorry it took me so long to play this game. It was definitely worth the wait. I absolutely love games like this one!
