The theme for this 42-hour Game Jam was "just out of reach." This may explain why the last level is designed specifically to screw you.

Also I decided against making a team which is why I beatboxed and rapped my own soundtrack. Also there was (clearly) no one to tell me to change the dialogue.

EDIT: I'm not sure how a 42-hour game made it on the frontpage. I'm shocked and more than a little honored. Players, please keep in mind I didn't frontpage my own game.

EDIT: UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK!? Holy shit, I was NOT expecting this!!

Love the music, made me laugh. It reminded me of the improv / silly raps my friends used to make with me. As far as 24 hour game jams go, this is good stuff. You show an ability to prioritize the most important aspects of your game and you're okay with just having fun with quickly getting the other aspects together. That's a skill I lack, being a perfectionist.

I loved the bit in the song about the Unity gamedev kids gettin sloppy. It's true,and I'm guilty of it! Having the engine do so much for you lowers the barrier of entry, so less talented people can use it, and that amateur demographic becomes synonymous with the engine.

I need a download link to this.

Pretty sure you can still use Firefox to download any SWF. Page Info > Media > game.swf > Save As

The idea is original and awesome! Also, the soundtrack was touching, deep, and well thought-out... so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye...

SUDDENLY CAPS

I have reviewed over a hundred games. Did it a couple times most likely. I have never really been thrown off guard, but than I played yours and despite some of the misgivings I enjoyed it a lot and the music got me laughing and I never stopped. Here is a video review if you want to take a look, and I hope you continue making games.

Hey, thanks for the review! Loved your reaction to the last level, you had the same WTF response as most of the other people in the Jam. It IS beatable but you really have to bullshit your way through it, which was kind of the design.

If you're wondering I did ALL of the audio - I beatboxed over the kazoo, then did throat singing over the beatboxing, and rapped over that.

Also the abbreviation in the intro is "Jesus fucking Christ kill yourself."
