Started from the bottom by thor1

[raw]
made by thor1 for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

Start with nothing ? Try starting from the bottom, from nice and comfy Canadian neighborhood !

This game features young Brake who had nothing but a dream and raw talent. Like every other aspiring artist he starts of by throwing his mix tapes onto people. That gets him to his first rap battle, where astonished Brihanna offers him to feature on one of her hits!

This takes young Brake to the skies! After that ? Everything after that is just a Gods plan...

P.S.

Game is half finished full of bugs and fails randomly, but hey, what you gonna do... Gotta start with something, or wait ?

I hope Brake doesn't see this game, but I am happy to have managed to fulfil God's plan!

Fantastic Canadian ghetto simulator!
10/10 would make the people no longer poor again.

Thanks everyone for comments!

Sorry for that text not being visible - on the other hand, you can understand Brake rapping ?

Not gonna lie, at first I didn't even want to continue, but after a while it got so ridiculous that it was actually pretty funny.

What was that?! I have no idea, but it was hilarious ^^
My notes:
>the guitar hero'ish minigame's controls were really confuzing - maybe go for QWER instead of WSAD?
>The rap battle... i had no idea what was even happening
The graphics were all over the place - it felt like just random things thrown together, which although fits the overall crazy theme, feels just... wrong. Anyway probably the most innovative/humorous thing I saw during this jam, so you pulled this off well for the first jam.
Next time I recommend getting a small team for a jam - you can do a lot more this way ^^

@tyfus thanks for the thorough review! Disclaimer, this was actually a team effort :D.

I agree with most of stuff you said, game could be polished and improved by much, we just wanted to share something at least :)

Quite the assortment of minigames. Gave me a good laugh. The 3rd minigame controls were confusing but didn't frustrate me since you are allowed to mess up alot.

I wasted all my money! Probably the most humourous game I've played yet, if it's even a game. It made my night actually.
