I love the twist. Had some fun in this short adventure game. I think the puzzles are easy, but it's still a great concept for a game - to become a superhero! :)

That was actually very fun :D I chuckled a lot (well the description of the game already set the mood)!
Got the ehh... "good" ending I guess? Which is also bad? ^^'

@tarfield @trusty @transkuja Thanks for playing!

@grhyll Glad you liked it! If you became a super villain, you got the bad ending, otherwise you got the good ending ;)

The game story is cool but the music only coming from one ear is a little off putting. I had fun playing it.

I love it, funny game. I almost died against the Showboater. The sound is only playing in my left ear for some reason

Pretty fun dialogs and mood, no bugs, top notch developer art. Great entry, congrats!
You should maybe have tried different colors for Albert vs. the Narrator dialogs (and others) to make it a bit easier to understand.

Fun game with a nice little twist ending. One problem with this game though is that the audio is all very much focused in the left ear. When climbing the tree to save the cat you can actually heart the audio bleed more into the right ear as you approach the left hand side of the screen. Its just noticeable enough to be a little distracting.

@dvlv I think becoming a villain should be the good ending /o/

Your game was very cool and fun to play
As a Tipp: Maybe make the audio source as child of the player for having sound on both sides.
if you want the effect of changing the music side by running throgh the map i would make the effect less and the source more in the middle of the map.
I like your artstyle

Funny little story, cute silly graphics. Music is really repetitive.
