Took me bloody ages to figure out that fucking square room, tell you what.

It was a clever mechanic, using friction, but honestly since absolutely everything you're taught up until then tells you that the two balls will always travel at the same speed, it was a little confusing. I'd recommend at least a hint in that level.

"Sometimes letting go can get you farther than holding on"

Though that might be too obtuse.

All the same, nice little game and a nice contribution to the Jam, dude. My score might be inflated, but who's going to argue reviewing harshly here of all places?

=> Know what? You're probably right. I will make a semi-large update this game sometime during the summer, and I will to begin with, add more levels, to more slowly introduce the player to physics. But also, I will try to come up with some kind of a hint.

Good job on beating the game though ;)

=> Thanks, Lintire! You're right; I've been very easy on many of the contributions too, and I think they deserve that. This year was full of amazing games :p I can barely wait for the coming jams!

Playing this with a shitty mouse that glitched right the fuck out every two and a half seconds left me with a raging ego-boner by the time I beat this motherfucker.

Uh, hopefully someone will have already said this, but the saw is the third weapon down and you need to click on the grey area under the lit bulb to begin the first segment. This game will probably be buttfucked into oblivion because that ain't nearly clear enough, and that's a shame.

Anyway, the game was funny and quick, and that's the best kind of flash game. A few graphical glitches, but nothing but minor stuff. Great work, guys.

Hi! First of all let me say "DAT MOUSE" lol

We added some arrows to make it more obvious, hope that makes it clear enough now :)

Thanks for the review and glad you liked the game!

Bit of Column A... Bit of Column B....

It's not a bad game, not by any means, but there's just too many aspects of the game that's wrong for it to be enjoyable.

What this game is, really, is just a glorified fetch quest right throughout, where player involvement actually only chimes in at the last second, anyhow. This means that for getting each ending, you have to walk through the exact same sequence of events, time and time again.

Now, I'm a fan of retro graphics as much as the next guy, but making the player walk through the exact same environment at minimal speed 4 times in a row is nothing short of absolute torture.

Not to mention that when it comes down to it, there's no real gameplay, either. You seem to have left the "game" part out of this flash for the most part; you walk (really slowly), you talk (really shallowly), rinse and repeat.

However, there's quite a few aspects of the Flash that make up for that;

- It's a trip down Nostalgia lane
- Cliches in these kinds of games do mean that inane tasks are at least somewhat amusing
- The music loop, while annoying after the third runthrough, is actually quite good.

I'd advise, if you ever did return to doing a game like this, to:

- Speed up the player character
- Vary the environments a bit more
- Add more dialogue
- Add more incentive and choice into the different endings

Otherwise, you didn't do a bad job at all. You just didn't do a particularly good one. All the same, solid work, and congratulations on making such a popular game.

Thank you for your review.

Snoogans :3

Awesome selection of pictures, guys, you've really done the art forum proud - and I had particular fun just flicking through them. Checking back on last years, you guys have improved fuckloads, and really was a total pleasure to see you guys put this together.

A shame I couldn't pull my act together in time to submit a picture or two of my own, but the world has it's plans to screw you up one way or another, so it's still pretty damn rad to see this, done. Not to mention that each and every picture suited the music perfectly.

Great work, a total 10 and 5, and a fav to boot.

ScelesticFish responds:

Thanks a lot! Yaay fav! :D Yeah I think it was at least 6 times better then last years in all ways :)
