Really good. Even if it is a statement about creativity (creating a game with no originality to show the lack of it in the rest of the community )it is not entirely derivative. The style is terrific and even some ideas (the “free climbing” on platforms for example) make Shit Game something different. If this is a project made in only one week… well, you should make more of these experiments ^_^

Thumbs up

Very cool trailer, I totally lost it on the title screen at the end. I really need to grab an Intel Mac so I can give your games a whirl!

very cool! i really like how everything flows together, lots of random stuff = fun. full screen mode on my 22inch is like playing the original gameboy on a cinema screen, but its still really cool - im at the plane level right now.

This would be great for a homebrew DS game! I loved it!

at Jake…I remember two games I know for sure that did free climbing before Sonic 3: Samson from Little Samson (the most amazing NES platformer that nobody played) and also I believe morph-ball Samus could (not for sure).

Oh yeah and if you haven’t heard of Little Samson check it out, it was a gaming that was a generation beyond its time, doomed to die due to crap marketing.

4 playable characters you can hot-swap between, each with different special abilities (from charge shot/floaty dragon to wall-climbing/shooter Samson to bomb dropping mouse and GOLEM!). Priceless!

Thank you for your game. Came from Kotaku here. Appreciate the Das Boot and Ending themes and No Doubt. Thanks for a great free game.

That was an amusing five minutes. Nice.

Oddly enough, I’m very curious to know how you made this short platformer. For a hobbyist programmer, is it really as simple or easy as it looks?

[…] Alright in all honesty this is some epic and I mean EPIC gaming. Apparently the guy who created this did it in a weekend and from my understanding he did it while giving birth to a muntant troll and eating the first born of Charlton Heston and Oprah. Ok I may be exaarating a little there….it may have taken him a week, I forget. If you want to get this game you can cause its free and here is the link. Get it, Love it, Spread it like a fucking STD baby! […]

This is some pretty stellar shit. I had to talk about it on one of my sites. I just love how bad and creepy the graphics are. Nicely done.

Aptly named.

After the plane level when you have to get past or kill the ghosts with the diamonds of death it was, at least for me, unbeatable. You have to jump back and forth up these bouncing platforms but I always glitched through them and fell down to the bottom as I was trying to get up. Was this meant to be a feature of Shit Game?

I just finished the game, please make another! I love it.

I actually really like the plane crashes turning into platforms. I think that one bit of creativity really showed that no matter how hard you tried to make a terrible game, you’re just not that untalented haha

Also the thing about cutting your teeth in game creation by using mechanics and ideas from other’s games is a very true statement. It’s also why XNA game should be free (like this one!) but Microsoft loooves their money too much so now we gotta PAY for our thousands of Pac-Man and Mario clones. No sense at all.

Looks sweet. In which language is the game programmed?
