Story O' Dare by Static 64

[raw]
made by Static 64 for LD27 (COMPO)
Well, I didn't want to make a Wario Ware-style collection of minigames, but that's what I did, with a little twist.

Story O' Dare tells the tale of a 48 hour game design contest and what designers experience throughout the process.


Play through 10 second minigames relating to each stage of the LD competition, from the initial "I'm In!" blog through to submitting your game.


==Spoilers==


To solve each puzzle (spoilers below):


1. Click on the keys to spell "I'm in" including spaces and punctuation.

2. Click on every cow.

3. Click on the desk area and the pizza box.

4. Click the refresh button a lot.

5. Drag the papers to the trash.

6. Click on the potatoes.

No, why would it be a joke?

I'm not sure this game works properly, or I am doing something wrong? Whenever I try to do something it tells me I missed the deadline, whether I let the time run out, or I click anywhere on the keyboard...

Great game but i think the first game is really to hard.

@Mekuri, you have to type "I'm in" for it to work, as the sort of standard Ludum Dare entry blog title.

Quite challenging, but not a bad idea.

Heh, I would say there's not enough programming minigames, but I don't think those would be doable in 10 seconds. :)

You should not put such clear instructions how to finish the game :P I like this one, it is special in its special way ;)

Very identifiable theme ;)

Kind of sad that it didn't accept my toilet photo...

Thanks again to the further commenters.
@doonay21 - Do you mean the title screens or the ones in the description above?

In an earnest attempt to actually provide constructive feedback: I wish that it had sound, or at least music.

Typing into on-screen keyboards is hard.

But yes, that is kind of what LD is like.

@ nintendoeats - So do I. I wanted to add sound, but just didn't have the time.

Thanks for the feedback; I appreciate it.

Would never have figured out how to play this without the spoilers.

Dude, that was awesome. Not only did you get the Wario Ware theme in (which I love), but made it super relevant too. Loads of it is so true too, refreshing quickly to get the theme. I was franctically searching #LD48 on twitter :P .

I think you need to learn how to mash potatoes again though! That looks more like peeling to me! :P

It's great, the first puzzle is just too cryptic and trial and error based (without the solution spoilers)

This was a really cute package of games! I didn't find the first game too cryptic at all, but I did try typing on my real-life keyboard once or twice first. XD

As already mentioned, a little bit of sound would have been great, but otherwise: Funny game!
