Woo congrats guys! It took all our energy just to make a 1-hour game so it boggles my mind that you were able to complete a 5-hour game!


It boggles my mind too, ArtBane. It really does. *lays down to sleep for 50 years* If you give it a spin, I hope you enjoy it!

Same to you Gourd :>

Punch Bears Review

Hello! Sorry for the late reply, I've just been really busy.
First off, thank you for the review! It was nice to read because you really seemed to catch a lot of the small instances in the game I left to flesh out Ulrika's character beyond what you see at face value. :)

author=MISTER BIG T
"Something a bit disturbing is that Ulrika seems to break away from her insanity when she's being asked nicely, as if all this time all she really wanted was someone to just be kind to her. "


I will elaborate on this bit! The point of that scene is to drive home how indoctrinated people are towards the world 'please.' Since we are taught all our lives that 'please' is a magic word towards getting what we want we are, at the same time, also taught that when we hear the world please we should oblige to command attached to it. Although Ralph has no ill intentions when he uses the world, it can be a very manipulative word especially in a work setting when used by a superior.
Since Ulrika's job is the source of her misery, this was a slight hint towards her having the sort of boss that uses the word 'please' in a manipulative and brainwashing sort of manner. Please-the ultimate magic word.

Adding a bear counter is certainly something I want to look into, especially for the Unlimited Bears mode. As much as I enjoy the stress of not knowing how many bears you have punched, the competitive nature the game took on for a while elsewhere makes me feel like a counter could be the better option.

Anyway, thank you again for the review! It was very interesting to read what the game means to you. :)

Why Punch Bears was Made

A through D are all very true. Very, very true.

But it's also true that any situation that gets the creativity flowing is a good one in the long run! A bad week ends; a game about punching bears lasts forever. haha

Thanks for the comments. :D

Why Punch Bears was Made

I'd pick Ulrika over Racheal. Just saying. no offence there, Rach. you just don't punch enough bears

Halloween Bash Review

Don't worry, Caz, it's completely my headcanon that Dee and Eddy will end up together in another 1000 years or so. As the writer, I think that means my word is truth. (But I never know if I can trust myself??)

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and the characters, as well!

Winter Blossoms

Hurrah another fan of the Snow Queen! It has always been my favourite fairytale growing up.
Yup~ Well aware of the goblin mirror. We're switching things up a little bit, having it only affect his eye and a different factor will come into play for his heart, but the goblin's mirror is still a part of the game. Just downplayed a bit.

The lady in the garden and thieves will also be there, though again, we've adapted things to fit our retelling a bit better. (main thing being, at least in the version I read, the lady in the garden was an elderly sorceress, we've dropped her age because of having an encounter with an elderly witch shortly before hand. lol Needed to shake things up.
We've posted designs for her and the thief that helps Gerda over on our blog before:

I hope you enjoy the game when it comes out~ Having input from people who know the original source is a thing I look forward to greatly~ :)

Deckiller's Let's Try Thread

Racheal and I were wondering if you would consider Castle Chase for your Let's Try series? It's a short light hearted VX adventure game with multiple endings, and it's a stand alone package. I'm not sure your preference in games, so we won't be hurt if it's not up your alley and you don't want to play.

Castle Chase

Thanks Irili! Glad you're enjoying the game! That last one can be a bit tough, because it's a little bit random. xD

Castle Chase

I'm sorry you feel that way Conquistadora, and I hope when you give the game a shot it changes your opinion.
Since Racheal and I are both girls, (and we know that most girls don't spend all day thinking about guys), we certainly never meant to be offensive towards our own gender.

Personally I think Monica is a very strong female character, and perhaps you'll agree when you get to see her in action. The premise of the game on the outside is to win a date, but on the inside it is to escape whatever plans her family has for her simply because she IS a girl. So, in away it's quite the opposite of something anti feminist.

Game Gale Edition Now Available

Thanks for mentioning using the items to get info. I found another issue:

When using a certain item (the earliest I found) on MR, the event occurs, but so far, I haven't been able to pick up the object dropped.


Make sure you are standing beside the item and not on top of it. n.n You should be able to pick it up then.

I wonder if it would be better if we let you pick it up from the side and while standing on top?
