Rate and comment on Gamejolt if it pleases you. Thanks :D

Edit: I'm very happy with all the positive reviews I'm getting from you guys. Although I was dissapointed that all the features I had in mind could not be implemented, I realized that, well its Ludum Dare. Anyway, Thank you so much everyone, and if all goes well, and the good reviews continue, I will be sure to make a better Post Compo version with more levels, features, and music.

Something in your audio is making my speakers clip terribly.

I enjoyed the McPixel-y randomness. And the music. Not entirely sure what the hammer accomplished, but it made me not die.

You have to look hard at the roof level, it can't be solved through trial and error

The concept was nice, but I'd rather not be exposed to bitcrushed audio like that every time I die. Maybe turn the volume down? :)

Great use of audio as punishment for the wrong choice. Makes you really consider your options!

Wow, this game is a trip. I particularly like the death music. I didn't find there to be much logic to the choices, though, so it was mostly trial and error, and mercifully short!

You saved him from a fate worse than death (Pun intended)

Ha! Nice one, gave you five stars -- even though I don't usually like ______ games as they are a _______ that does not introduce new __________, and instead relies on being ______ and________. This is no exception.

@MinionStudios, Don't get me wrong, although I found that your game fell into the classic horror genre, I still enjoyed playing it, as it gave me a good scare (especially the bats) and as such, I gave it a good score, I just found that it didn't bring anything new to the table.

I liked the crazy-ass mood present from the "HI! Hello. Hi. HELLO!" to the very last screen.

Like the idea, glad that I didn't have to start over when I died. Could have used more levels, but what are you going to do, you only get 48 hours :P

I really liked the "Hello, hello" intro. The game itself is WAY simple, though, and it needs more levels.

That said, the LOL U DIED screen scared the shit out of me (and actually angered me quite a bit). Pretty sure I woke up my roommate.

Well, I won I guess. But these decisions aren't made any sense. The basic idea would be a good one though. Oh and the "lol you died" song is very loud. Also 'R' seems to randomly takes back to the title screen or restarts the current scene.
