Wish the window were resizable or pixels were doubled - also had a GameMaker watermark on it. But really liked the story \/ humor \/ puzzle element, the art style, the feel of the controls, etc."},{"author_name":"kylerhoades","author_uid":"3495","time":"May 2, 2012 @ 2:46am","epoch":1335926460,"text":"That was a fun little game. The little guys said some funny things. The controls could have been better and it was a shame about the game maker watermark. FYI, I use Game Maker 8.0 Lite instead of 8.1 Lite as it doesn't have that watermark. You can find it on Google still. Great work on your game. Loved it."},{"author_name":"dr_soda","author_uid":"8342","time":"May 2, 2012 @ 3:48am","epoch":1335930180,"text":"You've got some really nice dialogue for some of these characters.  I especially like what they say when you win.  :)  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics and sound are pretty good, but I found the controls to be really hard to work with.  Fortunately the game did not require any really fancy jumps or maneuvers in order to succeed."},{"author_name":"chambers","author_uid":"11981","time":"May 2, 2012 @ 6:01am","epoch":1335938160,"text":"Very funny game, I loved the needle guy above all, lol.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The mechanic reminds me of Mario's Time Machine, an educational Mario game.

If that happened to ever change - it would make the game ... perfect. Good job on making it! I rarely find myself smiling on a gameplay and these NPCs were adorable!

I'm not sure I understood everything about the gameplay but still a cool experience. A bit of music would have make it better :) Good job!"},{"author_name":"thatshelby","author_uid":"4791","time":"May 2, 2012 @ 4:33pm","epoch":1335976080,"text":"Loved this little thing, a few bugs here and there but what game here doesn't have any?

I loved all the great one-liners.  Once I got into it I really enjoyed it.  The clues were not too obvious and not too difficult.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The only thing I didn't like was the controls scheme. When 'W' didn't make me jump, naturally I tried Space, which takes you to the world selection. This was sort of confusing.  Also pick-up\/drop could be the same button. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, great game--fun to play."},{"author_name":"ilo","author_uid":"12377","time":"May 3, 2012 @ 8:01pm","epoch":1336074960,"text":"Very interesting game with amusing characters (both in the art and what they said). As I played it I wondered why you didn't choose to structure it more traditionally (i.e. you give an item to someone, who in turn gives you a new item which you can give to someone else) but in the end it worked quite nicely as I never got too stuck on one thing... although admittedly I solved some of it by accident."},{"author_name":"Knighty","author_uid":"3733","time":"May 7, 2012 @ 8:45am","epoch":1336380000,"text":"It was pretty difficult to get used to the controls. Strange how you don't let me use the arrow keys, and the jump\/pickup\/drop buttons were weird. The rest of the game was pretty good. Also there's a glitch where the toilet disappears if you try to pick up something else, I had to replay the game :)"}],"images":["ld23\/2626-014861a6e1914402b3c109e08ba54372.jpg","ld23\/2626-b30299ac683c3ebeb6576d5775a0f2e6.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/33688822\/April%20","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"31274","g_author":"2626","g_event":"LD23","g_eventkey":"10","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"31304","g_title":"MakHappy","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"106","g_commentcount":"22","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/2626-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/2626-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hey,\r\nThis is my first LD entry.\r\nI'm quite proud of it and I'm told it looks good.\r\nI had it finished in less than 48 hours but I used a bit of old code so, so I didn't think it would be fair to submit it in the competition (oh well).\r\nEnjoy!\r\n\r\nEDIT: controls:\r\nA - left\r\nD - right\r\nW - open doors\r\nL - Jump\r\nK - Pickup\r\nJ - Drop<\/p>","title":"MakHappy"}
