Stavros is late for a fancy dress party, and has just managed to squeeze his ample gait into his fancy dress costume (apparently related to some British sci-fi... no idea what!) and his ride is early! Get Stavros to the green door without knocking him out of his costume.
!!! HINTS !!! :- If you're finding the starting stairs problematic (as these aliens used to pre-90s), then be brave and just launch off them and change direction in mid-air before landing.
INSTRUCTIONS :- KEYS: X and Z. X - Flip chair movement horizontal. Z - Flip chair movement vertical.
IMPORTANT :- If possible, use the Unity3D version in Firefox or other. I've prepared a WebGL export as well, but the shadowing is a bit funky. Alternatively, standalone versions are available.
SOURCE:- I've added the C# scripts only as I'm on a 3G connection at the moment. When I get WiFi access I'll put the project and resources up as well.
Coding: Unity3D, C# Graphics: Blender3D, Pixelmator Music: Cubase, Reaper, Synapse Audio plugins Hydra and DUNE 2 FX: Reaper, Ohm Force QuadFrohmage (ring modulator) + crappy mic
Okay, it’s funny and the art is well done, but the controls really ruin it. Even after 5 minutes I still feel like I’m hitting the keys at random and hope something good happens. It may be part of the experience but it’s frustrating.
Real funny! :D the controls were hard though, 2 buttons don't work very well with this, but I guess the hard controls was one of the main point, like QWOP. :)
In the start room, try pressing Z a few times. He should flip from going UP to DOWN (isometrically) each time. Pressing X flips him from LEFT to RIGHT (isometrically).
It's meant to be a bit confusing, but I didn't intend it to annoy people as much as it did. Looks like Stavros isn't the only one with major butthurt. Eh, ToaPhoenix?
Post-Compo Changes: - fixed anyKey by changing prompt to space (and esc for menu) - found Physics code that should be in FixedUpdate() instead of Update() - some of you may have had crazy Physics going on dependant on your computer speed!!
ahAHAaah, don't listem to them, the controls are great! They add to overall hilarity! No wonder daleks are so frustrated all the time. I menaged to finish it, not sure how, but I had a great time, thank you. :D
I did it! I got to the door without dying! But again... I'm not quite sure why would anyone want to go to any party in such a silly, impractical costume.

This game is nuts. Nice soundtrack and totally whacky controls were fun to experiment with. I made it down the stairs but wow it wasn't easy.
One small note, it says press any key to retry but I think only spacebar worked for me.
"Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)" should be:- "Input.anyKeyDown"
I think this fix is acceptable in the Rules, so I'll upload new versions with that fixed.

The controls DO suck, and I'm to blame for that. Not TaoPhoenix's fault for making perfectly valid criticism. Sorry.

This game really made me laugh!
How the character shake inside this "thing";
Funny game!
The guy looks really silly, in a good way. The sounds are hilarious, too!
+1 for Doctor Who reference.
A bit easy once you get it but that was nice !
