i feel so naked.

In the parody game, you ARE!

Oh I love this, I'm always searching around for alpha/beta/prototypes of popular games to see how they advanced. World of Goo release alot of prototypes too. Nice! THANKS! :D

No prob, good to hear there are people out there who are interested in this stuff.

Cheat ?Maybe HACK ?

Maybe...

yep, that's what haunts my dreams...

Awesome, I love the development process, very interesting read.

oh, cool. *reads*

lol, pardoy version > original for obvious reasons. fear the ballcruchahz!

I remember almost being part of this production. I had (and still have) too much crap to deal with.

you guys always make the best flash platformers

whats your next big project gona be?

l8s

got a couple things coming...an action rpg, a point and click adventure, and ABOBO!

jesus you guys have so little of a chat log. It's like
"Yo do this and then Ill draw on it."
I like to get specifics and perfection and whatnot Im jealous at how easy you make it look :P

Luis and I have good mojo, that's why we keep working together. It's not that easy with everyone, believe me.

inspiration OVERLOAD

:-)

gonna be honest: I didnt play this cos I knew it'd be about weird Newgrounds jokes I don't get.
Please make something I would like!

I'll try

That's awesome. Thanks for posting this, inspiring

No prob, glad it was useful for ya!

wheres the part in the blog where you thought it was a good idea to shake the screen during a precision jumping sequence. lul

Luis: Don't shake the screen when they're escaping
BoM: No way, let's do it to annoy Mindchamber
Luis: OK LOL
BoM: LMAO!

lol at the naked mod

You guys are a great team. And a point and click adventure? That could be interesting.

It's the sequel to my previous one...but like 10000 times better.

delicious, learned much reading it. thanks bomtoons :)

My pleasure :)

I read it all. Very interesting read. A few parts were funny, as well.

You seemed to know what you were doing through the whole production of the game. I wish I had such a power.

We crack ourselves up when we're chatting...seriously

hahaha, lol at the naked luis mod
