Escape from the Credits by badlydrawnrod

[raw]
made by badlydrawnrod for LD31 (COMPO)
This game takes place entirely in the credits screen of a video game.

Backstory:

Mr Stickman was happy as he had finished collecting all of the stars in his game. Unfortunately, just as the credits started rolling he dropped them all. Being a capable sort of chap, he jumped in and went to collect them all over again.

Pretty clever. Staying on the right is much easier than the left. Good job!

Ahh, I'm running on Safari and it doesn't except input, making the game un-runnable for me I guess.

It's fun!
But, it would be nice if it show a retry button when you lose.

Those names. Those beautiful, awful Simpsons prank call names. Had to complete it to groan at them all. Got 54.

I couldn't make it to the bottom - I kept losing by reading all of the names. It might not be everyone's kind of humor, but it's definitely my kind :)

Fun game overall, good job!

I recently discovered that you can look up games by their creator's username; the moment I figured this out, I immediately searched for your game after fond memories of "Coal Not Dole."

I was not disappointed! The core concept is simple enough, but the real reason to play this name is to see one hundred awful/hilarious name puns in one minute. (Somewhere in heaven, Tom Magliozzi is laughing much too hard.) It's a really great central concept if you ever want to expand this into a full game, too-- there's a lot you could do with a game that takes place exclusively within the credits of a video game.

Please release a Linux version. Unity Web Player doesn't work on Linux.

Funny and clever approach :D And it plays pretty well. The jump could be improved so that you have control over the height, but other than that good job :)

@Thingo Studios ha ha - glad you liked it. I've been saving some of those up for years. Being from the UK I hadn't heard of Tom Magliozzi before but I did a bit of research and found some of his puns. Excellent stuff!

@xgeovanni I've released a Linux build. I don't have a way of testing it, so please let me know if it works.

Super! Not really variety gameplay but looks funny :)

Loooooove the idea! The execution is, well, good enough, but I feel like I want a little bit more from the gag :)

But a good one nonetheless on creative :)

You got some pretty cool music there! :)
Was nice to play!^^

Very clever idea! I think you should take the idea and expand it into a polished game :) maybe it could be more arcade-y!
Anyway, great job ;D!

Hilarious game, I had to keep playing just to get to see all the punny names. Brilliant.

This could be better if you could better control your jump, but this was really solid entry regardless.

Really funny. The mechanics of this game are really similar to mine :).

Very fun game. Not much gameplay but it is just fun to read the names. Maybe some characters animations would help the feels. Other than that, pretty creative.

The game was a little bit hard because I kept getting distracted trying to read the names. The best was "Richard Head".

@xgeovanni thanks for trying it. Glad the Linux build works.

My dad claims that he went to school with Richard Head. Maybe it didn't mean the same back then.

Haha, this is really delightful. Good fun simple gameplay with a really funny concept - loved the names!

Really funny use of the theme, even if the game can be infuriatingly hard. Nicely done. :D

Audio could use some work though.

Fun and simple. I wish you had made some animations. Also it's pretty easy.

Brilliant idea! Wasn't paying much attention to the names at first, but Lance Boyle caught my eye haha.
Some stick guy animations would have been neat.

jeje, very challenging, it seems easy at first, but it isn't ... :D ... i kept losing over and over ... where did you get that infinite credits list ? :D good job ... high rated on innovation and fun

Great use of the theme. Controls were smooth and easy to use. Good job!

Great idea! :D
Gameplay is fun and actually quite challenging at times since you're not allowed to go off-screen. Simple mechanics but great fun!

If you're a fan of puns this game will be an even bigger challenge since you'll be playing while trying to read all the names :P
