"oh man, GARFEILD ADVENTURE is some lynchian shit right there"
-Six


My game from the original 1-hour POPOVKAST, now with a brand spanking flash build: http://www.klikscene.com/flash/garfeild.html


And the original KnP version can be found here: http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/blog/578

disturbing..

[increpare]

What are the controls?  At some point I disappeared.

[Radix]

Shift is jump and also shoot a spider for some reason. Ctrl is de-garfield.

Edit: I added instructions.

[increpare]

oh - hah!

[s0]

Someone (by which I mean Fuzz) should frontpage this for some hilarious flames.

[moi]

Awesome, I think that game makes a perfect job at letting us experience Garfield's everyday life in 1st person.
I you think about the original Garfield from the comic, he must spend his day moving from room to room listening to his masters ramblings, and the occasional spider shooting.

Also: MMF to flash plugin. You must be the first to publish something with that no?

Yes, please.

[FiaStarta]

I'm about to lose all hope here. Are you posting that kind of crap just to troll & laugh behind your screen? Or did you really think that this piece of shit was even worth showing to the public?

WOW, someone even tried to make some sense out of that crap. This is one art game.

Oh and before you get angry about my reply: my reply was art. That's right, I'm making artsy replies, you cannot critisize them, I'm behind my artsy shield.

Inb4 art game argument.

It was nice to let out my rage at Jon. Why didn't you let me kill Odie?
But still,

0/10, you didn't expres anything personal.

I have a theory: The spiders in the game symbolize the way how Jon thinks having Garfield as a pet or having pets overall makes his dark thoughts easier to bear. However, Garfield's tendency to create witty punchlines and overall "think" about Jon in a mocking way is poisonous to Jon's mind, only benefitting the cat. This is symbolized by the shooting of the spiders: Spiders let smaller insects to their web, only to store them and consume them later. Garfield acts the same - it eats Jon's food and love, and gives only twisted comments. Odie is a metaphor of Jons poor self-esteem. Garfield continuously pushes it down tables etc to represent the fact that Jon's self-esteem is continuously being hammered by Garfields evil aura, eventually breaking, as shown in the game. The fact that you can't kill Odie shows however that no matter how much Garfield mocks Jon, there's always something left. By killing himself, Jon released those last bits of his inner self (represented by Odie) hopefully to a better place.

My five thousand cents. Perfect game.

[FiaStarta]

This is symbolized by the shooting of the spiders:

I don't think they're spiders, I think he's shooting dog (or cat?) piles, symbolizing the fact that the game is shit.

I think the most ironic in this game is the time it takes to load.

If an artgame discussion erupted here, I'm pretty sure Radix would just laugh

Even if his goal was to make the worst shit ever to laugh at the snobs debating about it, he failed, because we've seen even shittier games in this forum. Remember the one with a monkey dancing or something, with zero interaction & a paid ending.

Haha oh man, I want to make games like this now just to aggravate people like you. How could you be so incredibly silly as to take this in any way seriously?

[Radix]

Why didn't you let me kill Odie?

The spiders are metaphoric. And, in any case, did Garfield really kill Jon, or did Jon's fantasy of intelligent housepets play into even his final moments? Is the cat an 'angel of death', or a fictional proxy for Jon's secret desires--the dog-abusing, lasagne-scarfing vehicle for an anemic, unsociable faggot?

[J. R. Hill]

Mondays.

[FiaStarta]

How could you be so incredibly silly as to take this in any way seriously?

Maybe you're not, but believe me, some are.

There are people staring at abstract art in galleries, and they're dead serious. And no one will ever dare to give his real opinion about the crap he's watching, as he'd pass for uneducated. This is slowly happening to games here, so some of you need to get their faces slapped for them to wake up. Both the little brats who make shmups that delete files, and the snobs who are praising them, so that they will continue doing it.

[CosmicMaher]

What's wrong with abstract art? Some it is pretty cool. I mean it's pretty basic and foundational though so not a lot of specific stuff can be delivered through it

[FiaStarta]

It's not so much the abstract art that's wrong, I can even enjoy the beauty of a simple color gradient. When people gather around a gradient on a canvas and start discussing about the message hidden behind it, that's wrong. (& when a gradient sells for several millions, that's not even wrong (it's an investment no less stupid than gold or printed money), but let's not mix the value & artistic quality)
