Chad Brags by nickbasswright
There he goes. My first video game ever. Goodbye, sweetie! Be nice and make friends! I'll miiisss yyooouuu...
Anywho, it's called "Chad Brags" and it's about a guy named Chad who brags. The more he brags, the bigger his head gets. But the restaurant that he and his friends (?) are sitting at isn't big enough for giant heads, so you, the aforementioned "friends", must slow him down by saying the right stuff. You won't stop his inflating cranium from crushing everything and everyone, but you may be able to slow it down...
Please criticize me hard! I made an Axl Rose-sized amount of mistakes in this process, so any criticism will be much appreciated! Also, three cheers for the people who run this Ludum Dare thing; it's super fun and some of the games that people have made are blowing my gosh darn mind.

Was this really your first attempt? o.O
Getting the game to run was tricky. I had to download the unity file, then the html file, then make sure they were both in the same folder and run the HTML. Do you have somewhere you could host it?
50MB seems really large to me.
I wasn't sure if my choices were making any difference. Maybe if Chad's head shrunk down in a noticeable way it would make the players feel like they were accomplishing something.
I really liked the whole idea and the graphics. The stories were great and I really liked how the options went along with whatever Chad was talking about.
Plenty fun and great job!
Also, I had no issues loading the game through the dropbox link, FYI
Did you make the audio? it's really good!
I really like the graphics and conversation snippets :-D
If your choices do matter, then I respectfully suggest you think about the feedback your game gives to the players. How would you clearly keep the player informed on what is happening? Anyway, that's my criticism. Apart from that, great work!
I try few times, but can't find a way to win.
