X-TREEEME Pin the Tail on the Donkey by Puzzlem00n
Bill was a simple man living a simple life playing simple games like Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Then, one day, after his girlfriend left him, he thought, does everything really HAVE to be so simple? Why can't things be more... X-TREEEME!
So, he rented out private islands, built obstacle courses on them, and then kidnapped you to force you to play them.

NOTE 8/27/13: I fixed a crash after the compo was over. It was a tiny fix, as you can see in win.lua here: http://bit.ly/19KzYFl I believe this fix to be within the rules as per the tips on the bottom of this page.

Sorry if the music gets annoying, my music editor glitched out at the last minute. I had to make something new fast. Colors inspired/taken from palettes by eletrikmonk on colourlovers.com.

Perhaps instead of ten seconds to view the maze at the start, perhaps the spacebar would reveal the map for as long as you hold the key.
You might be able to generate mazes then, and even make the bigger! Great job!
Great job though, nice graphics in particular :)
I can safely say that I think that you TAILED IT!
Also I ROFLed when I first heard your voice acting.
It's pretty awesome though ! Love the concept. The music is simple yet catchy and doesn't get annoying, the graphics are effective, and the fact I needed three peeks at level 2 to get it right makes me want to play the next levels real hard.
Good job !
Looks good, runs well when it doesn't crash (and is set up so the crash doesn't ruin the game, since you can pick whatever level you want, which is quite nice), and has a truly captivating backstory that I really wish was in the game (I want to pin the final tail of the game on Bill :P. Nice job.
Including these because the description says you already fixed the crash:
If you fixed the crash in the Windows version, then you need to fix the crash still (I crashed at the end of levels 2, 3, and either 4 or 5).
Also, I got this: http://s24.postimg.org/rkmzwdbqt/Extreme_Pin_the_tail_on_the_donkey_bug.png which personally I thought was extremely helpful, but I get the idea that it's not intentional :P
Also, @SnoringFrog: Yeah, that happened to me once or twice. I think it's a bug in the camera lib.
Maybe you have to find a thing to help the player a bit : a sound when you approach a bomb, or some checkpoint in level, to avoid restarting every time at the begining...
*AHEM* COUNTING TILES *COUGH.*
Nice take on theme anyway!
The level with the saws is still difficult for me, as memorizing games are somehow difficult for me at all :D
I mean, the two things are not "problems" or "issues". Just something I perceive while playing. I really tried it a lot. A lot.
I've managed to tail the donkey on all 6 levels though. Got me playing for more or less an hour to finish everything.
:D
