Please enjoy! -jun & pate

P.S. The best way to play is in full screen mode or in a separate window. Also, if you get sick of exploring the map, or ruefully lost, check out the screenshots for a guide.

The map exploration part wasn't that good, I would be perfectly fine if you just stuck with dialogues all the way. That being said I smiled a lot :)

I loved the wikipedia link-opening in this game. I felt treated like an adult for once.

Well, it's certainly an odd sort of game. I'm not quite sure I know why I'm punching trees, breaking windows and avoiding the gym.

Very different from anything I have ever played before. The map of the town part was confusing too

Very funny dialogue and graphics choices! I would have liked to have seen more puzzles and less searching through Wikipedia though.
DivineOmega23 Apr 2016, 22:30
That's quite something else. Very strange and very absurd!

funny. I liked that I had to go to wikipedia to look up grass as the main food source for hippos. Interesting take on the theme.

Hated it, then honestly really loved it.
danieldsj29 Apr 2016, 02:06
I think "Ned is becoming a hippo" would've been closer to the theme. :D Very creative none the less.

I don't understand any of this, but I enjoyed the game.

That was a weird one. Adding extra info/links were a nice choice. The music was interesting but got irritating after a while :)
