No good?

I’ve been working on a game. Try it out. It’s not good yet. But it will get better.

Here’s the game on github.

Here’s the game you can play in your browser.

This game is very incomplete. There’s barely anything to do, some of the platforms are hard to reach, the double-jumping doesn’t work if you’re using a gamepad. But for the most part, there is a small core of everything I wanted to do.

My goal for this game is to make a very lightweight platforming/adventure style game based on the show Curb Your Enthusiasm. I think this will be easy to do, since a) I love this show, and 2) there’s so many great episodes I can draw upon. Here are some random ideas:

• A level where you need to get a present for Ted Danson’s birthday party. You find the perfect gift: Mondo Freaks. You end up getting chased out of the party for your poor taste.

• Susie will definitely be a boss. You will have to dodge the swear words coming out of her mouth.

• There will most certainly be a level where you are being chased by two women in wheelchairs.

• I can definitely see a whole series of levels where you have to gather the cast of Seinfeld for a reunion just to try to get Cheryl back.

• A mini-game where you stare down your enemy and the “staredown” music from the show plays, and you part ways, saying “ok”.

• Leon.

• Complete golf minigame, at the country club, with black swan as a boss.

• Larry can solve problems with money, but there’s a constant balance between money and social justice. Larry doesn’t like spending money unless he feels like he’s getting a fair shake. (Maybe just shooting everything with money is the easy way to beat the game, but you can’t get the real ending unless you satisfy your sense of justice).

• There should be an essence of Larry being like the goose in untitled goose game, but not so much as to be derivative. Just Larry, wandering around LA, causing trouble.
