Lardum by Grahhhhh

[raw]
made by Grahhhhh for LD33 (JAM)
A quick 5 minute or less game. Even quicker if you don't like it.

"You are the monster"! All you need to do is hit space and watch it unfold.

There is a secret revealed when you complete the game, so spend those 10 minutes unlocking everything because frankly, it's worth it.
(There's been a lot of people stating they can't figure out the secret... Think of konami, and if you still can't get it googling "Konami" and "secret codes" should get you there ;) )

Thanks for playing :)

That was actually worth replaying 14 times lol! Great job. Never thought to do a variable narrative like this before!

Ok, I feel so idiotic to be unable to reveal the secret. Cool game other than that, nice idea actually.

Quiet day.

Also, ending is way worth.

Innovative use of storytelling and allowing the player to influence the story, well done! Secret mode is definitely worth it, though it took me 3 rounds of staring at the clue to figure it out (but then I kicked myself for not figuring it out sooner).

Innovative and simple, with lots of endings, very interesting!

This is the most amazing thing since sliced bread. Well. Maybe not *quite*, but it was still extremely well put together. Great job :D

Genius! Fun concept. Just a few entries have Voice Acting, and yet, yours are pretty good.

Neat game. Still no idea what the secret was supposed to be.

For originality this is awesome! I managed to unlock all the stories, and I read the note, but I went back to the tutorial and didnt really get it, nothing was different? Anyway, perhaps I missed something. The voice acting is really cool too.

Interesting mechanic, can't say I've ever seen anything like this before. Keep it up!

haha, funny tutorial :D

Found it quite fun, unlocked all 7 versions of the play. Got a bit repetitive at the end, and adding more game mechanics would probably be good. Definitely an interesting concept, and the sound and graphics were all good.

This game was great! :D

Funny from start to finish, loved the varied endings. The idea of taking this further and having multiple plays with different characters interjecting and changing the storyline is exciting! :p

Great idea for Ludum Dare, setting was spot on and added to the humour, voice acting was also great - props to those guys. Oh.. and LARDUM FU** YEAH! :)

I liked this game overall, although I thought it would be even more fun if the scene went on longer in each story. The best part was the secret song that made me feel like the setting changed to Africa!

30. Aug 2015 路 21:21 UTC
Wow, it's amazing how much fun you squeezed into such a simple mechanic! Great job! The graphics are great, the sound is fun, and you even included a menu and options, nice polish! Great job!

Fun Concept, some nice humor here and there and good polish for a 72h game. I would love to have a way to completely mess up the play, just for fun, but maybe I simply didn`t find it ;).

Mouse disappeared from the screen so it was hard to click options, though I feel that may be something going wrong on my side. Using chrome if that means anything.
Funny and a very polished game overall!

31. Aug 2015 路 22:47 UTC
LOL. Really funny, and anything with a secret code is OK in my book. And as funny as you made this, I think the concept could be expanded to make some really cool narrative type games.

I got 6 of 7 - :) Can't figure out last one, have to grind more chickens I thinks. Awesome game, really a lot of fun and near game mechanic.

I triggered the code but didn't see how it's affect the game ?

Really really cool and fun game, we laughed a lot :)
We are fans of nonlinear plot and Interactive Fiction games, so this game mechanic was very interesting for us, among other things.
Got all the endings, but not the secret one :( Maybe we'll try again!

I've got to admit, I really found the self-awareness and the voice acting hilarious.

Managed to get all endings, although I can only get one achievement (I'm certain the second one is based on the konami code, but I don't know where to enter it).

The timing during the scene is quite a clever way to get different endings, really novel.

I somehow got 21/7 endings!

I feel like I did something.

Got all the ends and the secret one :D (clues on the newgrounds comments). Really smart concept here, kind of choose your own adventure, which is really nice and entertaining. I would like to try more games like this one :). Good job!

I love how depending on where you enter actually changes the story! It's a nice little mechanic that got me playing over and over again to see how the game would play out!
Very nice entry!

03. Sep 2015 路 01:30 UTC
The idea behind this is very powerful. Changing the ending depending when entering the scene. Great job!

Innovative and simple. I didn't expect much going into the game, but I was pleasantly surprised. Crazy how a game about pushing space at different times can create a humourous and entertain experience :)

03. Sep 2015 路 01:38 UTC
One of the most unique takes on the theme. You got a lot of mileage out of a very simple mechanic. I enjoyed playing.

what a unique "experience"
Short but pretty special. Still trying to figure things out.
Do you normally make games like this because you have a knack?

Funny little game. Great touch with the "unlocked endings" counter, and the achievement for getting them all. More of an animation than a game, but still enjoyable.

Really well polished, and fun! Cool idea too! Can't say I've played a game like that before! Nice work!
Secret ending was well worth it!

Loved it. Although the dialogue was difficult to understand at times and the volume wasn't really well balanced.

When I fisrt saw this, I wasn't going in with high expectations, to be honest. I was completely proven wrong, as soon as I opened the game. This might not be the most complex, or length-y or pretty game LD has to offer but it has tonnes of charm which I often find sticks with players much longer than any great pixel art. As soon as I checked out the tutorial I knew this game was going to be something else and I enjoyed it as a whole. It was funny, joked around with RPG and fairy tale tropes well and the voice acting was nice and really added a lot, especially for the monster. Overall, I feel this is one of the most charming and memorable entries I have seen so far!

Great audio and voice acting. (Why I cannot rate for audio?)
Nice job!

not my kind of game but the idea is there. The multiples endings was a good idea.
