Get the Game! by xirion11

[raw]
made by xirion11 for LD32 (JAM)
While you are watching TV you watch a commercial of the release of the most anticipated game of all time : "Ultra Awesome Game", you have to get it before it sells out, but there is a problem, you are taking care of your granny! How are you going to get the game without leaving your granny alone?... Unless...

Controls:

Aim with your mouse to throw yarn balls to the other kids and make them trip so they can't take your precious game copies.

This is our entry for the #ldjam 32.

Can't beat that comic style graphics. Gameplay was a little lacking. Hard to hit anything. And I won without even trying...

Great little game. Found it very hard to aim, the speed of the wool was slower than the amazingly fast speed of the runners.

The Graphics are amaizing, but the gameplay not so much. It was too hard to aim, and despite not really hitting many I still won

Seconding much of the reviews here already: really fun artwork, but the actual game is pretty lacking. Congrats on your entry nonetheless!

Yay I got the game! Very impressed by your artwork! I love that knitting the runners a sweater = incapacitating them, hahaha

Funny story, Granny is too strong, making stuff on the fly.

Hahahaha nice premise! The graphics are neat and the story is well explained with the comic art. It took a long time for me to download it, but it was worth the wait. The first time I lost but the second I got the remaining unit. Yay!

On the other hand, the gameplay should be adjusted if you want to make a larger game out of it. And the audio is very annoying.

Good work!

Great art, and a novel concept.

The fast-moving kids were really frustrating. Since yarn is so slow-moving, predicting their movement seemed unnecessarily challenging.

The idea is hilarious and the art is nice. However it's really hard and the game is very simple.
Good job!

The art was great, the comic in the intro was a giant plus!

The art is the best part here, and you stuck with the theme which was good.

Cool game. I wished there was more gameplay, but the art was fantastic, and the story was very funny :)

Really great art, gameplay needs tweaks, everybody was running off the bottom of the screen.

Good job guys! On my third try I was saying "Come on granny, we gotta get trhat freakin game!" Won with only one copy left. The story is really funny and the weapon's unconventionality is one of the best I have seen.

It was a bit frustrating getting the yarn throws right, but otherwise this was great! Excellent use of the theme and the presentation is stellar, though audio could use a little work too.

Hilarious take on the infinite runner genre. Thumbs up!

Very nice idea! Still the gameplay could use some polish, had a lot of fun though. Saludos desde Saltillo, Coah!
