we were all down at the shade-grown, organic, locavore pub drinking microbrews just waxing mustache and reading The Dharma Bums while not talking to one another (but looking so cool) when we decided to join this little mainstream jam -it’s so 2006 but whatev

how to “play” our “game”

arrow keys move you like the art in this game moves you

the more stuff you collect the more of a hoarding hipster you are which is a bad thing

play it

FOR REALS THOUGH We had a blast making this. Two of us have done a jam before, but two of us haven’t. One of us is only twelve and made a good portion of the assets! We hope to do this again and hope you enjoy this little trip to funky town.

"Why does my hipster have tank controls"

It was at this moment that I realized I had uttered a phrase never before heard in the english language.

I like the game! I just want to give a word of warning: be careful creating games (or anything) that's about making fun of people. It's a slippery slope to go down! Some things are funny ("arrow keys move you like the art in this game moves you"), but some things aren't so much ("Thomas the Tank Engine is our gender identity"). With jokes like the latter, try taking a step back and think about how many people it makes uncomfortable / not want to play your game.

Please don't take this comment as an insult. I'm just giving a friendly suggestion to help keep ludum dare a fun place for everyone, hipsters included. :)

Nice graphics, it has a really cool visual style! It is fun to explore the level and discover all the puns :) Also, the 40second rounds are perfect for LD games. It keeps it quick and fresh.

It would have been nice if there was a little more to do, like dodging obstacles. Also, the controls are a bit too sluggish, sometimes I just kept walking in circles around the items.

Overall wel done!

I love the controls even though I keep walking in circles. It adds to the absurdity of this game.

Really funny, if a bit glitchy. The whole concept made me laugh. Good job!
