One Day Fly by taaboo

made by taaboo for LD28 (JAM)

One day fly.

The game is about a one day fly. You only have one day to live. The concept is much like groundhog day. You relive that one day over and over untill you get the best girl in town. In this case that one day is one minute and thirty seconds.

You have to play the same day a couple of times to get all the information you need to know what to do within that one day to win the game.

We worked as a duo. The other creator is called: "Bastiaanus"
I did most of the art and abit of coding and he did most of the coding and sound.

IDE: Flash develop

A great entry!

The graphics were complete and had a great style to them. Overall the game looks really good. The controls are intuitive and the game is fun to play. I must have played for about 20 lives over and over again.

Bravo! :D

Great game! A bit challenging to figure out what to do, but hey, maybe that's just me who suck at these puzzle adventure games ;). Excellent setting and atmosphere.

It is a little bit too short of a time to play for a single life :(

I've had the same idea for some time, about "one day/minute fly" inspired by this short brilliant movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wf8yEb1cwY
Your take is great! And it's a complete game! Congratulations! I hope you'll release it and get some attention! :)

Very well done. Needed some time to finish it (obviously), but it was rather interesting to say the least. Also very nice graphics you got there, and I liked the humor a lot.

Thanks for the comments! :). One of the bigger inspirations for this game was the movie Groundhog day. Such a classic. We might even add to it in the future. It was a fun project to do and we are both realy pleased at the result ;)

What are the controls for using inventory? I must've mashed every key and dragged the icon, but nothing gave. :(

Really like the art, the music and the dialogue though, impressive for such a short time. The gravestones were well done. :D

I really like the graphics style. Kept dying and dying over and over again without finding my girl :-(

Thanks everyone,
@JohnnySix there are no keys for the inventory, you can interact with other flies by clicking on them (the interaction sometimes involves trading one item for another) :)
