[raw]
made by haloflooder for LD27 (JAM)
*Moved notes to bottom of the description page!

*NOTICE*

After that, you will understand this game completely. This game was inspired by him.



HowToBasic: The Game!

Before you say "You're wasting pixels! Think of the starving children in Africa". You should try it.

I am remaking this game completely with better graphics, "story", and level designs!

*Will make post-jam version with all items unlockable*

I was originally going to do Compo but I ran out of time and I wasn't even close to being done when the 48 hour mark was arriving.

!!!FUN FACT!!!:
All the voices and sfx were done by voice!
How to do sfx: http://www.tinyurl.com/n25r564

Best game ever x).

Actually I'm stuck at lvl 6, is there a bug?

Also : when you try to select another item and then click somewhere on the screen, the game crash.

@KevinAlbs:
Thanks!

@Anoarith:
No, there isn't a bug in lvl 6. I just need to put a hint in there.
I just accidentally left something in that is basically a Pseudocode.

@joekinglake:
Thanks! I love the YT channel too. Yeah, I accidentally left something that is basically a Pseudocode in the game.

When I saw the title I just had to play this.
How do I get the unlocks though?

Hahaha, very creative game. Had fun with it, couldn't get past the 8th level (if that's even possible. I lost, so I won?)

Okay, that was just some stupid fun. I'd love to see move of this.

@Diogo Muller:
It's possible. Hint: Push the buttons in the right order

@dalbinblue:
Yeah, that's the point. Stupid fun. And what do you mean by move? A better fully grown version?

It's smart to port it to Android, because Touch controls would fit it.

Ahah that's the spirit, smashing eggs everywhere.
I love the low res voice, really coherent with the graphics and the animation. And the intro is great.

That was ridiculous, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm looking forward to the redone version you mentioned.

No idea how I won the move level, clicking the buttons or pressing arrow keys did nothing the first time! The rest of the game makes hardly any more sense, but the paradox level was funny!

Love the reference, there's nowt you can't do with egg smashing.

The ending was cool too. Would love to see this extended to your full vision of it. :)

Smashing controls :) Fun.

I think the intro will look better without many fade-in fade-out.
