Submission Text Full Submission Page
Nuts & Milk is a platform game deriving influences from a number of famous Nintendo games, including Mario Bros. (green and red fireballs), Donkey Kong Jr. (spring platforms, jumping from ladder to ladder and fruits) and Wrecking Crew (barrels). And as Kirby shows us, nothing can go wrong when you start with pink blobs.

Game objectives

Comments

Gameplaywise, it is a simple game. The goal in every stage is to confiscate all the delicious fruits from the wrong-color blobs (they're of different color than you and your girlfriend after all) after which you can enter your girlfriend's house and have cake. In the bonus stages, you don't need to confiscate any fruits, but I'm sure the girlfriend would appreciate still it very much, despite apparently being homeless that time.

Stage by stage comments

Stages 1-49

These stages are skipped.

Stage 50

The platforms in this stage spell the word "END", denoting the last stage of this game. To complete the game, one must study the game objectives and fulfill them. The evil blobs are kind of hard to dodge due to the inability of the hero to jump on ladders, except to fall onto another ladder.

Other comments

After completing the 50th stage, the game does not give any indication of having completed the game. It starts the 1st stage instead. Guess that serves one right for having skipped the 49 other stages.

Truncated: I think this submission is going nowhere from the four initial "No vote, duh". Watching stages being skipped instead of played is not interesting.

Voting no for being boring... sorry. I don't feel bad, since it doesn't seem like this cost you much trouble to make... I am wondering though... why didn't you skip level 50?

Does this count as completion? Basically, It puts you to the same state that you would be in if you'd just fired up the game. But I guess this is all a bit arbitrary, since the game doesn't define the goal too straightforwardly. Is it to beat level 50 (which this submission does) or to get through every level available (which Baxter's idea also confers to)? Didn't watch it yet, so no vote from me.

It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate
