I wasn't expecting the twist! I cant say the game was particularly mechanically interesting, but it was a pretty unique take on the theme.

I wanted to keep playing

@boxman, Thank you !
@bungalow, that's what we wanted ;)

I think i spent way too much time trying to jump xD Great ob at making me laugh.

Wow... Okay, sure, alright. Humorous but... This feels more like a silly joke than a game. Despite that, graphics are really nice, and the game is pretty creative in its approach to the theme. You could argue that there is a story but im 50-50 on that statement. Its fun in a sense that you want to see whats going to happen next, so that's good. Unique entry.

Damn it, you got me all excited... Oh well, really fun idea for the theme. Great job!

Great Visualy, please do more :)

Wow, I thought the art style was incredible. I really wanted this to be a real game :) Can you please expand this to a full game post LD? It would be amazing :)

Loved how the game interacted with me when I wanted to keep playing. I still feel like I missed something and something might happen if I keep mashing my space button and walking around for a while more...

Ahah this twist :joy: You took the theme in another sens ! Nice idea ^^

Loved the music, and to be completely honest I was gonna use this idea as well but then I thought it wouldn't be funny and here I am playing your game which was.
Good job.

@mutskun, if you laughed : mission complete ;)

@shinysteel, we agree, this is more a little joke than a real game with awesome mechanics. But in GamingNight what we love in Ludum is play with the theme and we really appreciate you liked our interpretation :)

@nessa, we are really glad you enjoyed it, thanks for positive feedback !

Although it was quite short I loved the ending lol.
The music was getting me really hyped for an epic adventure. It might not have been an epic adventure... But I still really enjoyed it. Great job!

@waterbear, if only we had the time ... Thanks !

@matank, Thank you ! Is the joke still working if we turn it into a real game with everything he claims to offer?

@thibaultar, Thanks you, Theme is the category we we expect to have good ratings ;)

@void-productions, unfortunately we didn't make the music ;) I'll try what you finally did for this jam :)

@gaming-night and humor obviously :)

@ltven0mi, thank you for positive feedback (but we have to admit music works well but we didn't make it :/)

Would probably ruin the joke if it was a full game, but it could still be a really awesome platformer with great atmosphere :)

Anyway, I gave you high scores for Theme and Humor, but also for Graphics and Mood :)

Wouldn't like to admit how long I waited after "the twist". But honestly I love the graphic style and it was actually very funny. Followed your itch for when you finish a none jam game ;)

@nattress, you can tell us about the time you waited ;) we are all friends here !

@gaming-night not funny man, I was really disappointed![eca[1].png](///raw/8ad/c/z/19209.png)

Very cool graphics!

I loooooove graphics and music, even if it's a Joke Game ! :laughing:

Hahaha I loved the twist^^ Did not expect that at all x)

@flower, thanks :)

@pierre-avinain, thanks for the graphics, but the music were not made by us :/

@brallex, happy to ear you were surprised ;)

I really digged it, real funny. Just too simple for my taste, but well done anyways!

The music was so epic I really thought that I was missing a puzzle to solve there ! Anyway good job, very fluid gameplay, nice graphics, it could have been a bit longer though !

OMG this is awwweeesomeee. I love this trolling style. I felt in love with it since Stanley Parable. I think you did a great job with all the art and the feel of the game. It was a bit short but enough. Good work mate!!

The animations were great and I really thought I was in for more when I started that but you know what the twist on the theme was worth it and gave me a laugh, well done!

@guilhermoni, you did not find that the difficulty was Dark Souls-like ? ;)

@gudval, We agree you, but we couldn't do more with the jam time ;) Btw we didn't make the music :)

@nam-nguyen, Stanley Parable was obviously a great inspiration :) if you never played it we recommend you https://store.steampowered.com/app/409160/Dr_Langeskov_The_Tiger_and_The_Terribly_Cursed_Emerald_A_Whirlwind_Heist/ (free to play)

@remco-games, if you laughed we can consider our job is done ;) Thank you !

That was unexpected I wanted to play more! I even tried the up arrow! Really liked the watercolor art, so nice :)

@gaming-night Hahahaha, not what i meant. I just imagined there would be a little more to it, in terms of content. But thats what made the game funny and so enjoyable.

Nice pun, enjoyed playing while it lasted :) the graphics and music are beautiful !

@daria-s, Thank you for positive feedback, and nice try with up arrow ;)

@fivenamefivesocks, thank you !

I really like your game ! And your humor too !
It was a target to use other meanings of the theme but we don't find how to do it, Thanks for that too !
An a great music too !

thanks a lot @alc0l, straight to the heart ;)

Well this was unexpected lol. 5 in humor definetly

Nice to see something different. What an ending :laughing:

**This boss fight was great, but I could not beat him. I wonder what comes next. ** ;)



Well done. You have made me that I waited at the end felt 5 minutes.
What wasn't so bad, beacause I really enjoied the soundscape.


**Spoiler. Don't read this. Play the game at first:**


But I wondered why I've waited. Maybe it was because the introduction into the game was well placed or the music or the simplistic art style.
I thought at the beginning that this texts about a extraordinary adventure could not be this what they seems to be.
And so I was excited what comes next. And I realize now that you have plant a kind of curiosity into my mind so that I wanted more.


Maybe curiosity is one of the greatest drives to play games.
So, you have something beautiful done. Keep this ability to make people wonder.
But sometime it would be also good to reward the player for the curiosity, because it could be happen that you could be disappoint the player. It's a hard balancing between rewarding and only let him wondering about the situation.
For me I can say I was really curious until I reached the 5 minutes mark.


Anyway. I loved the complementary combination between your art style and the music. Keep doing such games and have a nice day. :D

Thanks a lot @rangoiv :)

@bazld, we are really to happy that you enjoyed the end !

hello @norrimo, thanks for that feedback !

The purpose of our proposal was precisely to increase the excitement as much as possible to make it fall back later, we tried to go through both extremes.
We tried to recreate a little hype feeling that comes up with the game promises, the trailers, etc. etc. which is often accompanied by disappointments (aka No Man's Sky or Watch Dogs)

BTW, we are really happy to see you get our point :)

That's a very original game and I love that! Also the graphics are cool (and the music though it's not from you), and there are cool details (that I won't spoil here).

I would have liked to have more of it ^^
(and btw we runned -> we ran)

I'm impatient to see more from you :)

I haven't laughed so much before about being trolled. The overall feel would be fantastic for a full game.
The only thing I could pick issues with is the physics when you jump; it looks like you used a RigidBody2d as the hero gets stuck in the wall when jumping if you collide and press in the wall's direction.

@amkingtrp, thanks for your positive feedback and for your advice :)

This was a good laugh albeit a short one. Wished it was longer and you gotta make it longer XD.

Haha very funny i laughed a lot x)

Cool game and I loooove it! Really IMMERSIVE experience! I feel the contract between the legendary saga style music and the "YOU CAN DO NOTHING" because of running out of space. Good catch of the theme and I really think this whole idea could be developed something big and really classy! Besides, I also like the way you present the narratives! Good Job!

@mza, we would have liked to have developed a little more but the rules of the game jam are what they are ;)

@antoined73, if you laughed, we are delighted :)

@bmopapa, wow, thank you very much for all these compliments !! If you are looking for something bigger and more classy we recommand you Evoland or The Stanley Parable (if you do not already know)

Damn, this was exactly one of my first ideas after hearing the theme! Good job actually making it

@red-pill, haha, we're glad you enjoyed it :)

I'm outraged :)

@unfinished, nothing personal here ;)

(Edit - Got it working)

I said out loud "Oh are you kidding me".
Good game

@sciman101, we also have a macOS build, can you consider buy a iMac ou Macbook to play our game ? Believe us ... It's worth it !!

Edit : haha thank you :)

Haha. Damn. I was so ready for an adventure. Nice amount of effort for a terrible joke, I love it!

THIS GAME IS EPIC! It's impressive how much fun you have managed to put in such a little game... We want more!

@poffle, We are happy to see you liked our joke ;)

@nickzangus, YOU WANT MORE ??? See you for LD43 then ;)

Hahaha you knew about the up arrow, you bastards ! This journey was so great that I preordered 40 times the GOTY version.

@amour-du-pain, tu es notre 10 000ème joueur !!! Tu gagnes donc une super peluche édition collector du Héros. Félicitations !!!

i mean... i was running out of space, but not in the way i thought. this was probably one of the most unexpected things that could happen, and i really liked that dialogue at the end. it probably could be a bit more. that moment at the end where you have to exit, but if you don't exit the text just goes on really reminded me of some parts in portal 2, where a character wants you to do something, but if do nothing, they will just continue to talk. the game very small an short, but besides the pink ground there are no problems.

@monkosum, we wish we had time to make it a bit longer, especially at the end, after the joke, to have a real dialogue with the player ... but we ran out of space AND TIME !! Game Jams Rules :/
Thank you for the feedback !

Hey ! I really liked your game. At first I was a bit confused with the inventory system, but I finally understood how to work around with it, and I really liked the dragon fight, it's really good. This boss was real hard ! But the fact you coded its finite state machine in so less time is really impressive, good job for that !

Nah just kidding, this game is very unique and you did great ;) literal take on theme, good sound and art in general. Felt like you ran out of time, but you perfectly knew it, so you designed a game around it :p nice open space game, probably next GOTY, Thanks you for making this unique piece :D !! Good job !

@demn, hahaha thanks for this positive feedback, do you want to become exclusive beta-tester of the multiplayer-mod ?
Et j'ai été voir ton jeu, waou vraiment cool !!

@gaming-night Merci !! Oui mais que si c'est un battle royale :D

It make me laugh the entire game. The contrast between the narration, the music and the graphics ( that i liked by the way) is very funny and well done. Still I would like it to be more than a joke, like if you still going on something happened. Still a good entry that enjoy me a lot even if it was to short.

Hahaha I liked the idea of ​​trolling the player! The graphics of the game are pretty good too, but I confess I wanted to keep playing hahaha

@namnam, we wish we could develop a bit more after the twist and play with the no-more-jump idea, but we ran out of time ;) Thanks for the feedback !

@ganonwarrior, we are happy to see you enjoyed it ;)

Haha I liked your interpretation of the theme. I thought it was a puzzle and that there'd be some way to make it through so I was trying every input on my keyboard. It was short, but fun!

@legavroche, we wish we had more time to add more jokes at the end for the try-harders :/ Thanks for your positive feedback !!

Excellent work. :)
I enjoyed the ridiculously overexaggerated intro (and the hilarious posts you've been doing to promote the game), which heightened the expectations but already kind of makes the player suspect that none of what they are made to believe is actually going to be in the game.
I played the whole thing wondering what the twist would be and was not disappointed. Great stuff!

@josia-roncancio, huuuuum ... I guess you are right, maybe I goes too far on marketing and nobody can now really believe the game can be real :/ But now, what should I do with my fake DLC-release post ?
And thanks for the positive feedback !

I was seriously disappionted. 3 stars.

@gaming-night I actually liked how far you went with it! I think it makes people think "this sounds too good to be true" and makes them curious about the game. It also makes people less angry when they get to the twist, because they already kind of expected something like it. And the twist is still great because noone expects it to be about the spacebar. I still laughed, even though I knew some sort of twist was coming. :)

Looking forward to that DLC-release! :P

@nnnikki, we are really sad to ear that. Is it about the lootbox system ?

@gaming-night, Okay ! We will send you a special early access to it ;)

Thanks again for you kindness and feedback !

Very charming artstyle - if it had a little more frosting (like making that grass move in the wind and when player is moving through) it would be totally stunning, but still, very awesome. Music was very well chosen to this kind of epic adventure. I think that even in this kind of game, the movement controls should have been tighter, it nearly drove me away in the beginning, but I'm glad it eventually did not! Overall, this game is a piece of a art! Still want to play more!

@gaming-night No, in fact, the problem was caused by the fact that when you shoot the Bell on top of St. Patrick's Church in Deerville with a LV 27.43 Accuracy Sniper Rifle it generates a slightly lower sound than when you shoot any other church's bell with it. This led to many incontinuities with Graham Heiler's story and side-quest, f.e., when he said that his mother "loved and always obeyed Christ" and when his father said that "his favorite saint was St. Patrick". This plunged me into such a huge depression that I decided to not bring back his 4th Huge Chandelabra of Oatmeal and didn't get the 59 gold coins and 14 skill points for that quest. This made me far too weak to tackle Rabarbara, the Godess of Fruit and Juice, and therefore I was unable to progress the main quest and story so I had to make a new game.

@nnnikki
/!\ Spoiler Allert /!\
It's a pity that you did not finish this quest because once complete Graham takes you to the top of the church of St. Patrick and tells you a little anecdote of his childhood where playing with his friend mylène (the one who became archmage) they cracked the bell. Which makes it sound less!

@gaming-night Oh, now I understand! It's a good thing you explained that to me because I was almost about to give up a second time. Thanks! Made it 4 stars.

ahah you sir win everything! 5/5 humor! graphics were also very nice, I enjoyed this entry! even though it could have been a bit longer, other than that great job!

@gaming-night A great funny implementation of the theme. I literally laughed out loud at the end. Overall a fun experience. The visuals and sound are also great. Kudos to u man.😂✌

Well then... I'll just let it run in the background. That ought to regenerate the space.

@simogecko thanks a lot !

@abhis1kadian thank you ! it's really good to ear that you laughed :D

@drauthius, space will never regenerate ... we are waiting since we submitted the game ...

That plot twist got me xD
I stop waiting now :D

Recommended your game on a stream and he has quite a reaction, you can check the video after the stream ends: https://www.twitch.tv/generic_waffle

Wow, I didn't see that coming.

Are you F** kidding me!? I've seen this game posted about several times!! Hyped me up real good, and you give me this sh*t. Some people actually try to make new inovative, creative achivements in the Game jam and you just do this???? the sh*t!!!!


10/10, 5 stars would recommend to everyone.

LOL, I smelled something fishy coming up when you said 'the largest open world', but I wasn't expecting this. The easteregg that happened after 2 minutes of waiting was really nice though :wink:

@nam-nguyen, I really liked the moment you understood the joke :) Thanks for steaming our game :)

@gaming-night I played it again man for the sake of pure entertainment and even raised my ratings to perfect 5.

Thank you for sharing your game with me. I played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames

I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream. It was in the middle.

You can hear my comments in the archive at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/299357576?t=03h15m43s

@abhis1kadian, so good to ear that. Our first DLC will be release soon, stay tuned ;)

@saoi-gamesn thanks for steamed our game ! Really cool to see people playing it :)
Now we realize that we would have to hide the cursor during the game :/

Man this is the best usage of theme I ve seen so far! Lolol awesome!

This is some epic stuff! It really deserved the 50+ awards and it's great that Ninja streamed it, he would have missed out otherwise. :laughing: :laughing: Seriously though, 5 stars in mood and humour.

Good joke! Perfect theme match, I think :)

running out of trolls.

Funny game! Great music too, I gave music 5/5! Even more content than my entry, too!

Very nice colors and a good-looking walk cycle. I liked the choice of music and font. Submitting something is better than not trying. I look forward to what you can do with more time.

Incredible indeed! :laughing:

This was pretty funny but I really loved the art style, the way the jump looked and the music, the mood was all set. SO I was a bit sad that it ended like that.

Thanks @zlabya, @g12345, @wrenpirate, @vekstr, @shakedimus for all your comments <3

Amazing game! Great music, great graphics, great controls and great story, I cried at the end! *sobs*
Also Top #10 Greatest Bamboozles of All Time.

I spent 2-3 minutes in denial till I accepted the truth. Well, I was expecting a twist but.... Anyway the art and humor were great... \*sigh\* and the ending feels totally relatable.

A little loose on the theme but fun

I'm afraid this can't really be called a game since there's no win condition... but what content was there I enjoyed.

Haha amazing, really had me going! Game of the Year!

"Oh this game looks cool ! Let's try it !"
*after playing*
"Ah.. Well.."
Like the graphics, the mood, the idea of the text to tell the story in same time we walk.. Too bad that there is no audio, to complete the panel.
I won't say the mechanics are bad because it works just before running out of space x)
Anyway, funny game with funny end ! (and funny returns when I try up arrow x) ) Good job !
I have just one question : Do you really needed the 72h to make it ? xD

gdi lol xD

It's a damn good piece of the narrative-driven game. I am still laughing at the epic start and the greatest plot twist in the end :smile:
Well done!

thanks all for your comments and feedback ;)

@lu7cie actually we couldn't participate in this edition because we were on vacation. But the theme really appealed to us so we took 10h to make a modest little proposal :)

@dominic-graziano However, it is necessary for the player to have an interaction (use the space bar), and we think that this is enough to define our proposal as a game :)

Haha, that was quite amusing. I thought "great tutorial" and then... out of space :) Nice sticking to the theme. I also like how you commented about me trying everything to desperately getting up to the ledge saying that the up key doesn't work. Nice mood to the game, I liked the hand drawn art and the music. The hero felt a bit sticky to the wall, maybe reduce friction? Nice work, and thanks for the laugh :) High humor rating from me!

@imphenzia thanks for your feedback !! I'll try the friction thing :)

I really liked this game. It is simple, it is fun and overall plays nice :thumbsup:
