Julian has been turned into a werebunny and is quite cross about this! His human abilities have been replaced with only animal instincts!

Bite, headbutt and shout your way through this short game as Julian in order to find a way to change back!


A game by me, with music and help from Sebastian Pfaller.

You like your thoroughly unpronounceable titles don't you? I finished it, but I think I found a bug that I don't have time to check right now, but here's what I THINK happened:

Spoiler
I don't recall actually getting the wig off the Jack in the Box, I think I accidentally used the feather on the balloon and it turned into the Balloon + Hair

"Oh my," said Ben. "I'm so tired and stressed after the madness of the bake sale. I need a break from AGS."

Moments passed.

"Well, that was a well-earned rest," Ben said with a hearty sigh. "Time to bake a fresh game."

And so he did. The end. (For the moment).

Besides, most of this was made in 2010, and I just needed to get around to finishing it. :=

WOW! You create those nice games faster, than I am able to play

(http://s7.directupload.net/images/user/111210/cblw8gzk.gif) You are incredible!

Edit:
A real nice one again in style, puzzles and story! Congratulation!

I don't know why, but I want ice-cream now!?

If the one thing I achieved with this game was making people want ice-cream I still consider it a success.

Ice-cream is delicious :D

Angry applause. It's the best kind of applause. Ah, I remember the first time I applauded angrily. It was at the end of Bad Boys II. Damn you, Michael Bay, for making me enjoy that movie!  >:(

Right.

Ben304. I've lost you forever since Shifter's Box. ONLY TO GET YOU BACK NOW. Perhaps I've never lost you in the first place. But this game, is definitely BEN304 the way, *I* like it.

I really liked it lots. The shouting always made me laugh for no particular reason. The ending was a also quite nice. Got a bit stuck at the baloon-shouting puzzle, but then i figured it out.

I went and voted, but so that you know, Graphics as well nice, I really liked the simplest one, the Ghost (nice hint there calling it Bjorn.) Is the sunflower a reference to Zombies and Plants btw?

Werebunny CUTE
Game WIN
Witch WIN
Verdict: ^___________________________^

And I kinda have a craving for ice cream now  :P

Chicky - Thanks Chickadee ^__^

Shit, slow down, man!  There was a time when releasing one game a year was considered prolific in this community.

At this rate the Bellcurve is going to get renamed the *Bencurve.

Sweet! Loved the post-modern ending, THE SHOUTING, that japanese ghost/oni thingie and the extremely high amount of gameplay per pixel. And that background from ~airwave~ still looks good. :D

This makes me even more excited about the upcoming Bake Sale :)
Title: Re: ^_^
Post by: ThreeOhFour on Tue 17/01/2012 13:41:16
Gameboy: Thanks, and I agree! And shouting, I think  :=

Ilyich: Thank you ^_^. Actually, that background was drawn before ~airwave~ and made me realize that I'd finally found the art style that I wanted for the game (Which had been in my head nearly a year at that point).

Also, hooray for Bake Sale  :D

I haven't seen Samurai Jack in years. While it's a great show and I love it, none of ^_^ was inspired by it.

Oh ok then. It's just the ghost sorta reminds me of that demon thingy.

He might look a bit similar, but he's nothing like Aku, and I didn't have Aku in mind when I drew him :)

It was your subconscious at work! You have deep seated issues stemming from the fact that the Samurai Jack movie never materialized.

It's okay, Ben. Everyone has that same anxiety. It's nothing to be ashamed of.  ;)
Title: Re: ^_^
Post by: Dualnames on Wed 18/01/2012 04:21:35
Oh, right, thanks for pointing that out, S3!!

Oh, Samurai Jack. If that was even a bit influenced by that, I will propose to you, Ben304.
Title: Re: ^_^
Post by: Icey on Wed 18/01/2012 05:51:28
No prob hehe. :)

But ben is right. They just look the same but I think Ben's ghost is way cooler. Also Ben sometimes if you think about the way they talk in the game sometimes it reminds me of the way OSD talks. It's just a more understandable spell check version  :D

I think that's awesome.
Title: Re: ^_^
Post by: Dualnames on Wed 18/01/2012 07:01:24
Yeah, I think the game wins because it has SHOUTING and cute leetspeak. I honestly LOOOOOOVVVEEEED this. I'm sorry for being an asshole to you, Ben. Once again, I truly am.
Title: Re: ^_^
Post by: ThreeOhFour on Wed 18/01/2012 09:36:00
Samurai Jack is absolutely lovely - it is stylish, funny and cool. I am glad kids (and adults) have such great television to view.

The way Julian talks is how I imagine a wererabbit talking - short, to the point, a little abrupt.

Dualnames, I'm a bit confused by that. I released a game you liked after releasing some games that you didn't like. Neither of us are assholes, it's just that our tastes don't always converge.
Title: Re: ^_^
Post by: kaputtnik on Wed 18/01/2012 17:43:25
Okay, seriously now, wererabbits don't exist. Really, they don't. I tried looking them up on Wikipedia, but Wikipedia is all blacked out and says that for today Dangerous Online Pirates are their friends and they won't let me learn useful information anymore, so there. I even tried looking them up in a book, but I couldn't figure out how to use it, it had little to no pictures in it and they wouldn't even zoom. I think the American Congress should try and make books more user friendly, so kids wouldn't have to download files off the internet anymore, but rather go to the library and borrow one or several books. Then they wouldn't need Wikipedia anymore, which does not contain information about the wererabbit in any language. I figured out that only the English Wikipedia was offline, then what about the Spanish speaking population of the USA, don't they read Wikipedia? If they do, they only get a tiny little banner. I think the American Congress should consider filing a discrimination complaint to Wikipedia about that. They are shameless pirate freeloaders and the only article to even mention wererabbits is about Wallace and Gromit.

Another enjoyable little number from Ben.

Found a tiny little mostly irrelevant buggykins, though.

After I had opend the box and had the conversation with the Jack, clicking on the box still had the same 'no way to open box' response.

Decided to get back to adventure games by playing this game. Nice job Ben were just for me. I could solve them without walkthrough and that means something : ) Of course pleasant to eye graphics and no bugs made my playing pleasant. Good job, as always and I agree with StillInThe90s. Longer game would be nice.

Stupot+: Thanks man, I'll look at fixing that! Glad you brought it up :)

Shadow1000: Thank you :)
