Justin Beiber Presents: Justin Beiber in, Justin Beiber-Ball starring Justin Beiber: Mad Swag edition by Jedi

[raw]
made by Jedi for LD28 (JAM)
DISCLAIMER: Justin Beiber did not actually endorse this game. That would be cool but he's a douche.

Due to technical difficulties, and the fact that it's obnoxious, you can't actually play it :`(. See my journal for more info.

Here's how it works: You have a ping-pong ball on an inclined table. It's kind of like pinball except instead of flippers, you control a spinning paddle to keep the ball in play as long as possible, and try to get past Justin Beiber's bodyguards. But you only have one ball! (Because the game is kind of easy and lasts just the right amount of time with one ball)

I added Beiber and the bodyguards to the playfield a few hours after the jam end. I didn't spend as long as I spent mucking about with a bad hard drive (see journal) so I don't feel too guilty about doing this, but you can rate me down if you want.

your warmup game is very well made, very realistic, much like hunting dinossaurs in real life 10/10 - notdrnick

^ Forget that, it's my troll friend spamming things with my account. He was talking about your Turing: Dinosaur Hunter game.

Hey guys, I'm really sorry about leaving my warm-up game as the link for so long.

As I say in my journal, (and said in my entry when it was applicable) my pc died during the jam and caused me a lot of grief, and I thought I could leave that link up as a super-temporary placeholder to let me submit. I worked harder on this than any other LD so I didn't want to submit nothing. I made the warm-up in 72 hours too, so it didn't really feel like "cheating" to me in my jam-addled state of mind.

I thought I'd have a video made MUCH sooner but the working laptop I had just wasn't up to the task.

I hope everyone understands and I'm sorry for the confusion!

Sorry, can't play this game, next time make something more portable. Nice take on theme, and the Bieber looks really realistic.

Nice work, I like how this is kind of outside the box. I shouldn't really be rating it because I can't play it -- unless what I'm rating is the experience of watching you play the game on YouTube, which I can do, in which case, therefore, I'm rating it.

Also I like hunting dinosaurs, but it would be nice if the gun reloaded when you fire your last bullet instead of when you try to fire the next one.

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS THIS IS MY FAVOURITE LUDUM DARE ENTRY

I'll list my results from bottom up

MOOD - 5 STARS - perfectly captures the way I feel when Justin Bieber can't respond to MY love
HUMOUR - 5 STARS - Justin's such a cool and funny guy
AUDIO - 5 STARS - The audio is really realistic it sounds like you're really hitting a ball with a paddle
GRAPHICS - 5 STARS - Anything with Justin in it deserves 5 stars for graphics ^_<~*
THEME - 3 STARS - Could have featured more Justin Bieber (ALSO I CAN'T BELIEB YOU SPELT JUSTIN'S SWEET SWEET NAME WRONG)
FUN - 5 STARS - YES
INNOVATION - 1 STAR - I'm sorry but going after Justin's heart is a very unoriginal idea, I mean I do it every day
OVERALL - 5 STARS - TOP WORK GREAT JOB
