My Amazing Life by cptalbertwesker

[raw]
made by cptalbertwesker for LD27 (JAM)
So this was a pretty cute idea based off the premise of my very first LD entry.

In the game you play as a young impressionable guy, who believe he's the bees knees, everything that happens to him is fast, exciting and edgy... except it really isn't.

I had a bit of fun with the game, and also managed to make a typing of the dead style interface, because what's more exciting than typing in words!!

Made in Game Maker, using a bit of Win7 paint and GIMP, all audio was recorded in Audacity, hope you enjoy.

Hoped to enter as the Comp as usual, but due to some circumstances, I lost a lot of hours at the weekend, for the same reason my character isn't animated, think I'm getting too old for this! :D

*HTML USERS* Unfortunately I did notice a few bugs with the game on HTML5 but did not have the time to fix them, so unfortunately, lives do not decrease visibly, don't ask me why, and for a similar reason, the lives draw over all UI.

Yeah bruv!

I think it's awesome, there aren't enough typing based games in the world!

Had no trouble really with the HTML5 version as I'm of course perfect at typing ;) However did have some trouble running it on my Dell XPS12. It did run fine on my desktop though so seems like potentially some issue with my graphics card maybe.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, and the audio was amazing!

YEAH BRUV! I ONLY TALK IN CAPS TOO! YOUR GAMES WAS PRETTY NICE. SOUNDS WERE CUTE AND OVERALL LOOK WAS VERY NICE. PLAYING IT ON THE OTHER HAND, THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY. THIS GAME (SADLY) DOESN'T PLAY VERY WELL. YOU UPDATE THE CHARACTERS MOVEMENT BY WHAT IS THAT? FIVE PIXELS EVERY SECOND? JESUS. I CAN'T MOVE FOR SHIT. I AM SORRY BUT I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE ACROSS THE SCREEN. (I am sorry for yelling, I was joking, because of the CAPS thing at the beginning, haha. I was a little bit disappointed with the movement, sounds were nice though! Keep it up. 6/10)
