Description
"Today's the day I must flee from my nest.
I'm gonna be rich.
And powerful.
And my dearest friends of the stage of my life I'm leaving behind are gonna help me."
---
My entry for Casual Games Design Competition #9. The theme was "FRIENDS".
Please keep in mind I didn't have all the time I would have liked to have to do the game because of the deadline! and I want to keep it as it was in the competition.
Constructive feedback very endorsed :D enjoy!
How to Play
WAD or arrow keys to move and jump.
When able, J to jump in air with a friend.
Developer Updates
v1.3 (12/12/10) Changelog:
- Made bigger some tiny platforms that were way TOO frustrating even for my own game :P
- Corrected many advanced-english-leveled typos.
-
IMPORTANT *
I still donโt know why the game lags so much at first, and then later stabilizes. In some computers it doesnโt lag at all, in others it does for some time. If anyone has an idea, please message me! (Iโm using flixel+AS3) - IMPORTANT *

@alfarno did you understand any of the story? It isn't about friendship it is about a man leaving home in a quest to become rich and powerful by manipulating and using people he calls "friends" that trust and love him by throwing them downwards and leaving them and worsening their life in order to propel himself richer and more powerful.

Somehow, getting to the very end with 4627 coins while having kept 4 friends isn't very satisfying, because I get essentially the exact same ending. Philosophy is good and all, but if you give me a big green door that might as well have "GOAL" written on it, giving me nothing to get to it is just mean. Good game, good lesson, but I'm just peeved that I learned all this pixel perfect platforming to get exactly what I'd been getting along the way.

No one wants to be friends with a giant Pea, except for vegetarians.
