  • Just try not to delete the ending of your game next time, OK? Solid funny game. Knows exactly what it wants to be, but I can't give much credit to the gameplay. There's really not much there.
  • Ah this brings me back, back to the early days of flash where traveling in a single direction collecting items until ones inevitable demise was the browser based gaming gold standard. If it was your intention to imitate that flash style then congratulation you succeeded with flying colours! From the MS paint style sprites, midi music and stock sound effects, you have produced a humorous entry that I enjoyed on my first playthrough. However, this game is not very replayable; it doesn’t even save a score or change between playthroughs to make it worth replaying. In fact, for me the game crashed on completion, which is either an unintended bug or amazing theming for ‘we dug too deep’. Gameplay wise I found it very easy and I think with a bit more of a challenge it may have been more engaging. Congratulations on producing a solid and funny game.

goofy ahh game, you love to see it.

Too bad the gameplay hasn't been put as much thought into as everything else, because its ugly and meme-like looks and feel were so charming and made me feel like playing a very funny scratch game. And that, I mean, is honestly very cool.

Lovely memeish sounds, stellar gameplay, innovative new features and all around a fantastic little piece of software that anyone can pick up and play. This game made me laugh my ass off lol. I r8 8/8 n0 b8 m8, n0 h8 m8, just gr8 m8.

Reminds me of the good ol' days of Flash games with MSPaint graphics and Windows MIDI soundfont. Those were simpler times...

The end is confusing though

I appreciate a good ugly game, and this delivers pretty well. Reminds me of old Klik and Play stuff.

Though I didn't really find much of a challenge, gameplay was kinda... there and the game ends on a grey screen with some sound effects, I still found it charming and enjoyable.
