Nice flight game! I always like these types of games, and you had a unique spin on it. Once I got used to the controls (q, w, e) it was fine. One thing that I would like changed would be giving the player some extra time after the pig lands before going to the next screen - damage is still being done and there were times I felt like I was cheated out of thousands of extra dollars.
Yeah the tradeoff is that you would have to wait longer at then end of a flight while nothing much is happening which some players might find frustrating. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great game, and I hope the next one is out soon! I enjoyed Alice is Dead, and this one is just as good to me.
Some improvements to consider - I had a tough time finding the ingredients to make the man sober (mainly the cricket). Perhaps if the creature gave more of a hint (crickets find rest under furniture) it wouldn't have felt like mindless clicking. Also, the text that pops up near the bottom after every time you click an item - it was a bit maddening to click "close" after each time. Perhaps you can make the text box disappear if you click anywhere?
Again, really great game and story, I look forward to the sequel!
That's weird, a few people have mentioned the cricket, but the girl even talks about the cricket under her bed in the journal. I don't know how to make it more clear, I would have thought the egg and the candle would be the hard ones. It's always a surprise to find what people have trouble with. ^_^ Also you technically don't have to click close if you don't want to, but yeah, hindsight shows that was a poor design anyway. You can still click though, with it open.
The only thing that could have made this better was to have the mouse change when there was an item that was clickable. I wandered around between screens more than necessary because some objects were less noticeable. Besides having to click on everything, making this in 3 days and nights was very impressive. I'm a sucker for a good point-and-click game, especially with a good story and music. Thank you for the game!
It's such an addicting game! I stopped after I beat level 29 due to the amount of lag (I have a pretty new laptop, all the latest flash updates, and had to set the graphics on low after about level 25 and it still lagged like crazy after that)
Great concept and gameplay! I greatly enjoyed everything from the faces on the balloons to the music.
Wonderful ending (unless you decide to continue the series down the road!). Thank you for taking the time to answer all of the questions on your userpage, I read up on some (it's been a while since I've played the other 2 parts) and a lot of the story makes sense now. You had the perfect balance of mystery, twists, and facts in your unique plot!
My favorite part about this video was the voice acting, especially the hatter and calling the march hare. Wonderful!
It took me a while to figure out the medals:
*HINT*
Both brain and brawn have 2 parts, as the author mentioned. It matters how you break in to your hideout and how you get into the club.
*BIGGER HINT*
There's a penny in the sewer drain that you will use in two different occasions (if you choose)
This game is definitely worth a shot by everyone. I admit I wasn't intrigued at first because it looked like an unoriginal game, but then I started switching the tv channels and tried to earn all of the achievements.
After playing for quite some time, I decided to stop and basically wait for death. The games that I have to do this to always feel like the ending is bittersweet. It could have been more satisfying, although blowing stuff up makes up for a lot of it.
Gameplay not picking up the pace quick enough, not enough of a challenge after about 300,000 points, and not any hint of ever ending (although that is to be expected with a zombie apocalypse) were the only things keeping me from fully enjoying the game. I really enjoyed the tv concept, the gunmen during the actual game, and the overall good quality of animations.
Nice animation, it was very simplistic but fit the song wonderfully! Did the father use his own audio equipment to record the song? Whatever equipment he's using, it's very good quality.
I agree with previous posts, you should eventually animate the "outtakes" audio! Hearing him and his son interact like that makes me glad to know that there are still some great parents around who really love their kids.
Please consider teaming up with him and creating a series about him and his son! I'm sure the stories they both would tell would be excellent!
First of all, congrats on making an entertaining game. I especially enjoyed the music, choice of graphics, and the easy controls. So far I've played the game twice. Once to get used to it (wasn't able to find her) and another time to see if I could actually win.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I had 100% on all of the map and completed all of the side missions (fugitives, letters, food) and still had to let time run out because I couldn't find her anywhere. After reading many of the comments, it seems I'm not the only one who this has happened to. Hmm...
I'll probably try to play this game once more since it was so entertaining, but the frustration of feeling like I have completed all areas without actually winning the game was a big negative for this outstanding gameplay.

cute!
Great animation and sound effects. I feel like it was missing some background music, stuff like you would hear in Tom and Jerry or the Looney Tunes.

Give this game a try, but only for an hour

nice!
Another wonderful game, thanks! I love the series!
The comic you include at the end is very cool-while short, it's nice to see your drawing skills and some of the backstory.
As always, I look forward to your next game!
