Bad Television
An bossrun epic.

Art and Code by Bitslap
Music by Dubmood and Zabutom

TV ate your popcorn, boo!

Someone reported that the audio only worked after restarting the client. Restart until audio works then.

Navigate with arrows
Jump with Z
Throw ALL your kitchen ware with X (incl dog)
Hold UP to throw higher

Only for windows this time. There is a ton of stuff i wanted to do better. Maybe a remix post compo.

The graphics are really well done, and I love the idea. I had trouble knowing if I was hitting the TV. There was no flashing animation or color change to know if anything was happening.

Closest thing to an indication of hitting it, is its HP meter.
Sorry, what you want is called polish and i had no time :D

Remembers me a lot of banana nanaba. Really good and polished game, I'm going to save it and try to beat it at least once.

Good job!

Difficult, but I beat it! Got stuck in the television frame on the win screen, but that thing happens.

Really liked the graphics and music--cool style! The gameplay was tough, but doable: pressing x so much was a bit tiring, and I never quite got the pipe boss' patterns down, but I ended up not needing to. Honestly I usually don't like boss battles, but this was still fun and very thematic.

Super fun game! I love how it kept escalating. The theme was really good and the music and sound were really good.

After I beat the third boss I got stuck in the side of the wall of the tv? Not sure why that happened!

Anyways awesome stuff! :)

This is one of my favorites. I love how simple it is. The speed of the controls is perfect and it feels super good jumping and firing. I bet this would feel awesome with a controller. Once your living room explodes being able to shoot from one side of the game window to the other is neat. Audio is excellent, visuals are excellent. One major thing killing it for me is the size of the game window.

Quite well made, the difficulty is very frustrating, but I guess that is intended.

Nice one! Cute graphics, banging music, funny premise about the TV. Couldn't beat the final boss. Some hit indication would be nice, I agree.

A *really* short game (assuming I didn't break it), but really lovely none the less. The music and art was great, as to be expected given the authors.

It was a shame that it felt like it ended much sooner than expec

Awesome graphics. You know I love your graphics.
Also the game is pretty cool. Had a lot of fun.
Downside: PLEASE don't use Z/Y as a button. I am on qwertz and it was so awkward, that I had a hard time even playing properly.

In the end, still an awesome game. Good job.

Fun game with beautiful visuals and music. Really enjoyed playing and liked the way the game opened up and how the layout changed as you progressed. Great entry.

I wish I had some idea of where the TV was gonna fall so I could position it a little better.

Hitting the TV has no graphics/sound to indicate that I had hit.

Game controls REALLY well and has stellar graphics/music. A++

Sweet! Graphix and musix is very very good with supertight controls. I had to try three times before making it past the big telly. Good!

Great to see such awesome chip and pixel artists working together! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Got stuck in the wall at the end though, because I was standing at the edge of the level when the room changed :)
