Submission Text Full Submission Page Publication Page
Hello! This movie has been ready since summer and I have no interest to improve it at the moment, so here it comes.
Rolo to the Rescue is a cute game about an elephant who tries to save her furry friends from an evil circus master. In this any% movie however, Rolo runs home as fast as possible using her friends only for selfish purposes. So, Rolo aims for fastest time and even forces her poor friends to absorb damage for her.
General pattern for completing levels: 1) get the key 2) release all animals to get the next map piece 3) exit
Tricks: downward hill speed boost & underground running (latter is for entertainment)
Rolo's speed decreases in the air, so even if it looks bad it's played very well. To improve: mainly, end some more levels with start button instead of running to the exit. Good luck to anyone trying to get this under 9 minutes!
I'm not sure whether a 100% run would be interesting, but I can help if someone wants to try.
ONLY VIRTUAL ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS MOVIE!

I've already watched this one, and even though i don't know the game it was well done. I think the game is well made but kinda boring (yet another plataformer). But the run is fast and impressive. I'll vote yes.

Watched it today. Good movie. Only one question. In the middle you get often hit from enemies (peoples). Any reason why? It seems that it is not faster. But looks not perfect when there is no reason for that. Later it will not happen anymore. So I want to know why you get hit before I vote. Was it desync or for something special in the game. You not die, just get hit from them, or it looks like that you get hit. First I have think the movie desync, but it played complete to the end, so no desync problems I think. Or was it a desync and later the movie is in sync again? But looks good at all, so fast walking for such a big animal.

Thank you for asking. I should have explained it more carefully in the submission text. It is not exactly Rolo who takes the damage. Rolo itself goes down from a single hit, but if some animals are following Rolo, they take the damage instead. If you have 3 followers (which is the maximum), you can take 3 hits and still continue playing. I wasted Rolo's friends only if it saved time even though it may not look like that.

I'll help cleaning the submission queue by cancelling this submission. People are not interested in it and it's not thoroughly optimized anyway.

mklip2001: Rolo is the son, not the mother. He is the one reading in the good ending.
