Try not to use advertisment upload sites. Try dropbox. The first 10 seconds it was fun but mashing left right quickly became annoying.. :( On the bright side, I felt like I could never ever reach her so I just gave up and will be forever alone. 5 on theme for that!"},{"author_name":"Caldero","author_uid":"7559","time":"Dec 26, 2011 @ 7:13pm","epoch":1324926480,"text":"Very fun, you are talented"},{"author_name":"angrygeometry","author_uid":"5579","time":"Dec 29, 2011 @ 3:57am","epoch":1325130720,"text":"not bad for a game made in such a short amount of time!"},{"author_name":"Suese","author_uid":"8361","time":"Dec 31, 2011 @ 11:53am","epoch":1325332080,"text":"Hmm, it was wonky on my machine.

Originally I was making a survival horror platformer, but I had trouble with the inventory system on Sunday afternoon and realized that I wouldn't be able to finsih, so I gave up and started over. And this is the product of me starting over. It's silly and short, but just have fun. Took about 6 hours.\r\n\r\nPress Space to skip the cutscene in the beginning.\r\n\r\nI apologize for the crappiness of the endings, I made those during crunchtime.\r\n\r\nSource is included in the Windows download.\r\n\r\nMade with GameMaker Lite.\r\n\r\n(Sorry for the infinite jump, I'd fix it if I could, but I consider changing the game after the deadline to be cheating)<\/p>","title":"Joe Vs.
