No, there’s only one ending, but my artist (sereneworx up there) wanted to be clever or something :P

I got 13 dames, 150ish points, don’t remember how many crates I used.
It seems multiple endings may be possible? Mine was sad. :(

Technically, this is the first release, we didn’t have time for polishing, as it is for a competition. We rushed it a bit towards the end (surely due to our lazyness). You folks ARE the beta testers, even if the games doesn’t bear the ‘beta’ tag.

Just finished it a couple minutes ago. My final score was
838 Crates
12 Dames
141 Points
How does this compare to everyone whos beat the game?

@Stuk: I guess you guys ARE the beta testers :)

Right, just wanted to say that I’ve updated the game, that cross-the-gap level should now be slightly easier, as well as another level later on in the game. It’s on the same link, so just continue downloading.

Extremely well done. The atmosphere and music is great.I like it a lot.

This makes me wish I worked in a crate factory.

I love the film noir theme. But damn that cross the gap bit was hard/annoying. I gave up there too.

After all the lovely intro bits it would be good to have more of them throughout the game. It would break up the puzzling/firing boxes until you’re high enough and also provide a bit more of a reward for reaching the next level. I kept feeling: “Yay! Done! Oh another one…go on then”. Would be much better to discover more of the story after every other level or so.

A bit more variation would be nice as well. Another gameplay mechanic, or a twist, some explination why you have this magic gun :). Also, like someone said, limited boxes would provide a bit more of a challenge.

The music was good, but fitting with the noir theme it would also be great to get some sirens in the background every so often as well :D.

I enjoyed it, but it does feel like it would have benefited by watching/getting some honest feedback from beta testers first.

Hope to see some more great stuff :D

This game fails under a Start-to-Crate review system. Luckily, under a Film-Noir-meets-Mario system it scores very high indeed.

It’s too bad you stopped playing that soon, Lunaran; at that point you’ve gotten through more than half of the game, and once you get to the end you get a final score that you can compare with your friends, enemies, loved ones and hobos!

“Yes guys, it is a Mario reference; You meet loads of hookers throughout the game but not one of them is the one you’re actually looking for.”

And now I feel clever, hell yeah.
