Joke aside, this is perfect in every aspect, the sounds, the music, the graphics, the mechanics, the story, the humour, everything is perfect! Congratulations!
Nice take on the theme and hilarious dialogs, and the sounds that were with them, I laughed a lot.
@Tselmek: thanks a lot dude! and yes, we are a French team.
@TicZo: sorry to hear that... I'll look into the problem.
For the cons:
- You should state in your description that players will have to install the XNA redist package.
- The game felt a little slow with the dialogues.

Everything was well done!
Good job!
Made me smile and interested for the whole length. Bravo.
This game SHOULD continue :)
The only part I didn't like is the boss's speech. It's slow, specially during encounters.
But it's fun.
Overall, is a very good game. Well done.
Problems I noticed:
I think the game mechanics could do with a little more polishing, for instance the death animation needed a dead sprite at the end to show you are playing dead. Also, perhaps some sort of indicator to show the hero is going die on the next hit, because the speaker tells you to stop hitting 2 seconds after, which is a little late. Last thing, the pacing was a little slow in general, the triggers for the dialogue starting in particular.
Very well done! I wish I could make so much content in 3 days too! :)
I really liked the fact that you are the player's enemy, and that you don't have to BEAT him to "win" the game.
Sound was a bit repetitive and annoying.
This isn't the funniest game to play, but still, the best i've played in this Ludum dare, mood is good, art is nice, idea is great.
Good job
Overall, innovation, theme, graphics, fun... not a single stain... just perfect! <3
Bravo!
Belle interprétation du thème.
Quelques petits beugs quand on contrarie un peu le patron mais dans l'ensemble tout est bien léché comme il faut. ;)
Awesome game, fun, polished, everything! full 5/5 for me!
About the infography, you say that it's open source? Where can we get it? That could be super interessant to learn some stuff!
Again, congratulations. :)
@Stending
Yes, the source code is in the zip but graphics are not inside.
I'll make a post about graphics sunday.

I'll make a post about it sunday.
J'ai adoré, mes enfants ont adoré, et on s'est bien marré !
Just a few remarks :
- The 1st main character is a little confusing, for me it looks like a skull (2 oranges eyes) and is turned opposite as intended. I only recognize it as a worm when it attacks.
- About the dialogs, when playing, I wasn't sure if there are only 2 speaking persons (the coach and me) or 3 (the coach, the hero and me).
I've given you the best score for Innovation, Theme and Humor combined !
