Nice to see a point&click adventure on LD. )
The music and graphics worked great together, but the jokes were sometimes hit and miss. The absurdity of the premise is hilarious; Marlo being really bitter about his wife (for seemingly no reason?) is less so.
Why can I only fill the spray bottle from the bathroom sink?
Why do I need to drink salt water to get rid of the slug instead of just dumping salt on myself?
Why doesn't smoking remove the ice guy?
Why can't I dump salt on the ice guy?
Do you know how hard it is to punch yourself in the face (but at least we had a good clue for that one)?
I still really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the nice review! Lemme try to answer your questions though most of the answers could easily be cause it's a fringing adventure game! Haha.
1) it was meant to be fillable from both taps, we forgot to change the hotspot for the kitchen.
2) because that would have been too easy :p
3) the cigarettes alone wouldn't melt him, maybe if he had a lighter too...
4) good point, I didn't think of that haha.
5) do you know how hard it is being a shark everyday? I'd punch myself in the face!
Thanks so much for playing and understanding the stupid logic that go hand and hand with these games.
Though the effect of how the text was written was cool it was really quite impossible to read while it was writing since the positions kept getting updated.
Other than that a really nice entry.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
And I finally did it :)
