Mr Head and the Journey of Discoveries by jolle
Short game made in 8 hours.
Controls are Arrow Keys and X.
Written in D using OpenGL, GLFW and FMod. Sound effects from sfxr.
Only window binaries available, but they usually run fine in wine.
The main sprite is technically an old asset, but I needed it to be identical to match the game series (see Mr Head and the Cow Drowning).
(Update Dec 23: I've re-uploaded the game with upx compression removed from the exe. It triggered some virus warnings. This is the only change.)

It complains about "PAK_Generic.001"
Anyway, this is fun! I am really disappointed to not hear Mr. Head tell me what I Must Do, but I enjoyed discovering his world anyway.
Would've loved to see more ;)
Game mechanics were fun, especially with them adding one at a time kept them from being confusing or overwhelming. Difficulty ramp was very good.
Somehow it reminded me a lot of paper mario on wii, which I like a lot.
Nice work, with just a bit of visual interest and more levels and puzzles and enemies this could be a great game.
Also, cool that you used D, I'm curious to check out the src now.
