Marty Funk by retrogradeorbit

[raw]
made by retrogradeorbit for LD32 (JAM)
Marty Funk is a flatulent Monk, trying to save humanity from being grumpy. Unfortunately he keeps making things worse because his great flying yoga uses farts for levitation! When he farts on the people, they get angry!

Cursor keys or a/w/d to move.

Land and start chanting with 'space'. Chanting converts grumpy people into happy people.

Be careful not to fart on the happy people's heads! It will make them grumpy again.

Beware of grumpy people, they throw stones!

When all the people are liberated and happy, you can progress levels.

This is a solid game. I especially like the music and sound effects, they work well together.

My issues are with a few mechanics. The fact that your means of movement also makes people angry seems at first like an interesting challenge, but for me it just resulted in a lot of waiting for calm people to walk far enough away from me that I could take off. I also really want some indication of where the remaining grumpy people are, since they can end up being pretty far away and I'm forced by necessity to fly up high where I can't really see. Thirdly, it annoys me to no end that the mood of the character sprites doesn't sync up with the grumpy/non-grumpy counter in the bottom right - that is, someone will find enlightenment or get grumpy according to the counter, but won't show it on screen for at least a second - this made it hard to tell exactly how meditation/farting on people works.

Silly and fun, although its too easy to die 5 seconds into the game by smashing into the ground.

This seems to get stuck just after the loading bar in Safari.

Thats a really nice game, it's fun and it runs and works well, the only issues i see here, are that you dia way too easily, and there's not a respawn button or a restart level, instead you're forced to go to the main screen, and you have to wait for the animation to finish to play again, its a slow restart. Otherwire, that's a really cool game man, keep it up!

Thanks for all the great comments! I agree with you! It really needs a quick respawn with more lives. Going to the title screen does become really tedious. Might look at adding some more lives to make it more playable in the next week or two.

Shame you have to start from the beginning when you screw up, game could use some checkpoints. Also looking for remaining angry people might be annoying.

Despite that i really enjoyed this game, clever idea, good execution and interesting gameplay.

This is really fun! Love the control scheme, it's fun just farting around (sorry) and yeah it's really cool - make more of this.

Well, aside for this tasteless mashup of generic Asian culture, it's a very difficult game

Nice and fun game. However it was too easy to die and getting back to playing after death took too long for my liking

I found it difficult at first, but once I got used to the controls I had fun.

Wasn't entirely sure what or how I was affecting the people,(do they need to walk back to the temple?) and then I apparently landed a little too hard and exploded!
