Re-live the 2D platformer games of the 80's: eye-melting colour schemes, pixelated graphics, irritating 8-bit music and grinding frustration - what's not to love? In time-honoured style, our hero wakes up in the bathroom the morning after The Event. The details are hazy, but memories of a wild party, followed by an unwise combination of unusual mushrooms and a ouija board, suggest that things may have gone a bit too far. Something alarming moving in the shadows suggests they went far too far. All our hero wants to do is go to bed, in the hope that a good sleep will make everything go away, however his maid has other plans. The house and grounds are mess; detritus is spread far and wide; strange creatures are roaming the halls and something suspiciously like a portal to another dimension appears to have opened in the basement. This all needs to be sorted out before anyone is getting any sleep. More venerable players will enjoy the walk down memory lane, with subtle - and not so subtle - nods to the worlds of yesteryear. More innocent players will get to experience what life was like when they were not so much as a gleam in their parents' eyes.
First release!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my game! I hear with the feedback that it starts off too difficult (this is a common observation); I will see what I can do about this._sysop_ 5 years ago

Yes, I will see what I can do about the difficulty; this is a common complaint. With regard to the gravity/reactions of the character, I get conflicting feedback on this, but I will see what I can do to make it more balanced (since something is obviously not quite right).Joon 5 years ago
Story/Writing/Dialogue Game Graphicsoclipa 5 years ago
Thanks; yes, the graphics are all high quality developer art ;) . I agree this story is a little slight, although the vagueness is partly intentional to reflect the "wtf!" situation the main, hungover character finds himself in. In any event, I did at one point consider fleshing out the back-story/creatures a bit more, so maybe I will revisit this.
