Controls are configurable in the options menu.
Default Keyboard:

Arrows - move, C/V - hands, Space - Jump, Return - Menu/Affirmative

Game by Jimun Batty and Chip Caramel

We both struggled a little with the theme as well as a drastic lack of time due to events going on, this weekend (blame Chip!). Here; Have a photo of Chip's costume based on the skunk character from this game.

THIS GAME REQUIRES LOVE 0.9.2 from http://love2d.org
Mac port to follow soon.

Happy LD32 Everybody!

I like the grapics style of this game, it feels like a retro game

Wow! I like the graphics and the setting. The pumpkin was a bit hard until I figured out a system. I think the theme is quite nice, but I don't understand where the bag comes from. He could have used a pillow or the camera without batteries for hitting. Anyway, well done, and it also works with Löve 0.9.1.

Cool Game! I really enjoyed the Retro Graphics. The controls felt somewhat heavy while the jumping was the contrary, this made it hard to navigate next to enemies sometimes. Still pretty good experience!

I like the game a lot. I'm impressed by how much have you done in so short time. Love the graphic, great music and mood. There is even inventory system! Nice :) I would recalibrate a physic a little because for me it was hard to move on slopes (down was sliding way to fast, and up was to slow). Also the game is not easy, I have a lot of problems with skeletons... And you manage to build in small tutorial! Also don't know why but moving on the stairs animation is memorable for me. Overall very good entry :)

But the weapon mechanics is rather 'conventional' if you know what I mean... From the bright sites it's great that you manage to build a small tutorial into the game.. Also don't know why but moving on the stairs animation is memorable for me. Overall a quite good entry :)

Sorry for double comment, I was thinking that I'm editing it.. Don't see any way to delete the redundant one..

Impressed with how much content you were able to get in, in such a short time. Also liked the way you could use the camera flash to get past the little girls, was a nice touch. Music worked well in setting the dreamy mood.

Nice vibe. A few recommendations:
- Why have stairs? They aren't fun, and I never used them.
- Is the critical path supposed to be to the camera right away, or is it more nonlinear?
- The blue bar is hard to see.

Solid game, nice old school graphics with pretty light effect on the background.
Lot of different screens, quite long.
Very complete, good entry, bravo.

Wow, there's so many great things about this game. It's quite hard, but I had a lot of fun with it. That pumpkin almost gave me a heart attack when it showed up! Actually, I loved the music so much, I have a request... would you be willing to give me the music in the game? I have a real music box and can recreate it if you wish. All credit would go to you, of course!
