- Interesting idea here. A fine take on the theme and the little twist as the story went on was fun. I think for this type of game where it's kind of a trial and error Henry Stickmin kind of game, the key is to have the fail states be funny and entertaining so players don't mind failing because they just want to see all the content. With this one though, the failures were mostly pretty lackluster, so ones like where putting down boxes doesn't work because there's one too few even though it worked before come off as more agitating than humorous. Checkpoints were definitely a smart idea, but really there probably should have been a checkpoint at every choice as having to watch Brian slowly walk back each time got a bit irritating by the end. Overall, good submission, I just think leaning more into the writing and humor angle would really have taken it to the next level.
- Cool concept of trial and error to quickly choose between 2 somewhat absurd choice. Fun game ! I don't really see the theme anywhere tho.
Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)
Alone
Disclose if you used any public domain assets or not.
I used art assets, that's it.

Interesting endless runner, though slightly confusing at what to click at first.
It’s not endless lol.
For a reason unknown to me, the game did not want to run in chrome. It works well on firefox. Good idea. Quick choice between two options. The game is fun and has a dose of humor in it. I would only like that when the wrong choice is made to continue from the same place.
Thanks for the feedback!
Interesting take on the remember the technique idea. Great music and fun to play.
Great to hear! Thanks!
Unique take on the concept, humour, graphics and music were all good. Great Job!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
I really liked to play this game! It's funny, the music is good and the fact that you sometimes have to be quick at choosing makes it so entertaining, good job!
Btw I don't know if it's a problem of my browser but, expecially at the beginning, I had to refresh the page and start again because Braindead stopped moving if I made the wrong choice. The music continued playing tho so I think that maybe is a sort of "bug" that occurred (I hope only) to me :)
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the game! Although I've never heard of or seen the bug you are talking about, if more people report this, I'll look into it further. Thanks!
And 5 stars perfect game. You nailed it and you made me laugh a couple times. The Henry Stickman style thing is something I wouldn't think could be possible. You totally could expand on this
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed the game alot! Also why are you using arial ;)
Glad you enjoyed it!
