Odd game here: Glum Buster

It's a quite surreal, slightly arty platformy puzzle game. It's fun, and it's charityware - completely free, pay for it if you feel it's worth anything and 51% of what you pay goes to a childrens charity. The more payments he get the higher that percentage grows. Quite a fluffy way to do business really, anyway check it out - it's an interesting little game.

Arty.

I like it already.

Sorry for the bump; just thought I'd say, I've just completed the game now that I've got a bit of a break between exams... the level design is absolutely superb. Each of the 5 large levels are vastly different although the main concept is still there for them all; gave me the same kind of good feeling world of goo did.

Seriously, if this guy doesn't get a good job in level design, there is no humanity in the world. Very recommended, even if just for interests sake. Once you get past the initial wtf stage, it becomes a very enjoyable little game. Kudos to the charity side of it as well.

edit: Oh and rep for finding it, thanks

Have not a single clue what the hell I'm doing.

you and me both Lou. I can do stuff. I just don't know what, or when to do it. Does "arty" game mean "no clues given how to play"?

 

[nath]

Pretty much, yeah . Just keep doing stuff and eventually you'll see the patterns.

 

[Damini]

Don't give me that personal growth crap. SPOON FEED ME ANSWERS!!

 

[TdC]

Nath, in the light of recently played games I shall explain

KF is "point shotty at zombie (not specimen ffs, I refuse to call it that) face, squeeze trigger, rinse, repeat.
GB is "there are flowers, and a floaty black thing. here is a key, there is the moon"

Good grief, no appreciation for the finer things.

What bit are you at?


edit: Teed, they're not zombies! Just because they look, sound, move and behave like zombies doesn't mean they are. You're such an apoca-noob.

 

[Damini]

God knows where I am. I made some stuff shoot out from my hands, and then I made some beepy noises, and then I bounced a key into a door and went through it and a butterfly appeared, and then it all got too much for me and I had to lie down.

 

[TdC]

heh I quit after five mins or so. was just before I went to bed mind. prolly the timing that made me think bleh, cos I usually like games like this.

what? no way man! I gave Will a book on how to survive a zombie invasion, and when it comes I'm claiming the sofa at his place. I don't have to know stuff man, my people know stuff! Ok, I'm hanging up the phone now, when the ZOMBIES are out playing skittles with your bleached bones, maybe you'll have wished you hadn't laughed at me


edit: I'm at the butterfly thing too. also, I killed one. is that bad? this stuff is hard, like antroposofic man

 

[nath]

As far as I recall, you can't do things wrong in this game. I think...

Teed... you've not even played Left 4 Dead, until you have you have no idea what's in store for us!


(Seriously, get it, it's absolutely grand.)

 

[Damini]

You killed the flutterby?

You monster.


I killed it too. It achieved nothing for me, but sadness.

Then I made some beeps.

:/

I just bought it, it's installing now. You're so pushy

This game raises more questions than it answers.
