One Act by Sheepolution
A prequel to One Take (See my LD28)
Play as the director of a theatre show! Tell the actors what they must do according to the script. Totally Theater, THE magazine for all your theater facts and fashion, will review your show afterwards! Can you become the #1 director of all time?
----------------
- Info that should've been in the game.
Read based on own moral standards -
Controls: Left mouse button
It's important to note that while you can't catch up with text, you are supposed to catch up with actions.
So if an actor needs to die in sequence 2, but you forgot, you have to make him die in sequence 3 instead.

This a novel little game, great interpretation of the theme. Good Work
nice one!
I must say that the first 2 shows didn't go well for me, I was always trying to start from the beginning over and over again. Maybe if the script had been updated to show me where to catch up, it would have been easier.
I did get a good review on the 3rd one though, so everything is fine :)
'nuff said.
Had problems in Firefox at first with resolution, just like.. some of the stuff wasn't sized correctly, but moved to Chrome and it worked great.
You already know the One Take formula is fantastic so it's great to see more similar things. I really enjoyed the dialogue too, especially the Romeo scene (and the expression on the Cowboy's face).
Fun memory stuff. I think it'd be interesting if you expanded on this to have a mode where you can see the script while you play but the timer is just going ridiculously fast. Like, you basically get the command on autoqueue then have to direct th- actually, having said that, that would literally just be simon says, yeah nevermind. Rofl.
But yeah, looks great, as usual, plays great as usual. Nice one.
To suggest additions: maybe you could consider numbering the steps on the script/showing the number of the current phase, if you want to avoid confusion. I also think that something like an optional 'end current phase' button would help to minimise waiting. :)
Well done on making a really polished entry!
Awesome job!
Nice interpretation of the theme.
The funny ingame critics are awesome. Had a good laugh. :)
The idea of taking on the role of what I assume is some kind of ethereal entity, bestowing my muse upon pixelated actors was an interesting concept.
I liked the whole mood of the game, the little expressions of the actors' faces, the quirky little scripts and the humorous reviews at the end of the performances. The timed aspect of attempting to memorize part of the script while picking the correct action and dialogue pieces made for unexpectedly exciting gameplay.
I absolutely loved the little pixelated roses and tomatoes being thrown onto the stage after a performance, I wasn't expecting it the first time and its novelty made me chuckle.
Nice work!

but audience did not understand I am having technical issues they threw tomatoes at us!!:P
Since i am a great fan of going to the theater, this was a must play for me!
Although it was a little bit fast for me.
High marks in innovation and humor. Keep up the good work :)
I love the drawings and the game is really fun
It's lacking in content, but it was well-executed and very amusing.
