The Quite Annoying League by Pierrec

[raw]
made by Pierrec for LD25 (COMPO)
Being annoying is easy. It's accessible to everyone.
Being quite annoying on the other hand is a real challenge.
You need to strongly bother your victims, but just not enough to allow them to reproach you anything.
Only those who can maintain this perfect balance might be admitted in the Quite Annoying League!
Those are the worse villains!

-------------------------------------------------------

I took the train just before working on my game...it was quite inspiring.


I know the recurrent ending scenes could be quite annoying but eh...I might want to join the league.


Disclaimer : I did all the audio except the train background sound which is from freesound.org. I'm not sure it is allowed so...take it in consideration while rating the Audio category.

You played it already ?! Woah! You're fast!
Thanks for the nice words. I just uploaded a new version with some small typos corrections (I believe this is OK).

Nice one!

You're getting better at effectively conveying story and humor. I especially love the Naked-Gun-Style-gags, that are just there, and nobody notices :D

Haha the backseat kicker made me laugh hard!
Excellent game, actually funny. Great sense of humour. Very clever.

So, the game was good but the meta-game where parts of the game are quite annoying (like back-kicker puzzle and looping the game over dialog with some small enforce pauses in), but not quite annoying enough to make you give up is goddamn genius.

Wow, instant 5 stars in Humor, I loved it! As I already said, the graphics are great, I wish I could do that. You're a true pixel-artist! :) Excellent view on the theme, nice audio too.

It's not working, don't know why. I launch it and then it freeze on 2nd screen...Same for your previous game.

I'm sorry AnnaGavaldaKedavra, it seems it's a recurrent problem with AGS games. Sometimes, it works when you change the settings in the Winsetup file. I know changing to "Direct3D 9" and "run windowed" made it work on a Windows7x64bit.

Pierrec is still Pierrec. Great game again! I'm so jealous of your writing!

"Ouin je suis un b茅b茅, Ouin je suis un b茅b茅" really deserves 5 stars for great humor :D !
I'm not fond of these text-adventure games and i think the random "2 sentences on 3 will make you loose" is quite annoying :/ Just not my favorite gameplay. But the mood and story really deserves good rating ;)

Being able to play "the people who annoy you in the train" is just great :p

It's really a pleasure to see a new game made by Pierrec: this one is fun, with original characters/situations/writing... like the previous ones!
Each time I begin one of your game, each time I'm certain to have a good time playing this new gem^^

Aaah, this is great! Could cut back a bit on repetition upon failure (clicking through the boss' speeches, repeating the setup of each scene).

This game is absurdly fun, pretty, hilarious and enjoyable from the start to the end! Feels like breath of fresh air.

Brilliant! It was a bit annoying to retry a scene (watching the ending and the scene intro every time without a skip or something) but I truly loved the idea and the execution. One of the best entries I've played so far. Kudos!

Pierrec, you could make money by making a 3-Answer mobile App for all the guy that try to pick up girl in trains.

Great game and fantastic humour, sometime making me think to Terry Pratchet.

That was villanous. That small talk guy was awesome :-)

Like always, I love your spritework. This game was quite fun, and the dialogue was great.

It would be cool if more scenes had more than one way to finish them.

Thanks for the game!

I love this entry. I think the only thing that "annoyed" me here was the back seat kicker's stage. It wasn't quite clear what I had to do, and his intro animation was a bit long to have to watch repeatedly.

Otherwise, this was great! They epicly failed to annoy me.

This is an amazing amount of content for under 48 hours. I'm impressed. There appears to be a novel's worth of dialog in here, too. Amazing work. If you can do this so quickly you should get into doing a web-series and you'd have a bigger franchise than Penny Arcade.

I'm not worthy.

Perfect entry, and I managed to annoy Ms. Twist quite well. :) I also saw the exploding head ending, and had so much fun, that I will probably show this to my non-LD friends.
Great use of AGS, as always. Very high ratings, and well earned!

That was actually THE best game I've ever played. I particularly liked how restarting each scene could get quite annoying. Very meta.

Not my type of game, but it looks and feels polished, original and very smart. Gfx are great. Congratulations.
