GNILLEY

Posted by Derek Yu Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:37:00 GMT


The Global Game Jam 2010 is going on right now. I just had to share GNILLEY, which was made by Radix for the Sydney GGJ. It’s probably one of the few games where being a loud angry drunk works in your favor. You can download the game from here (requires a microphone).

    Someone should make a game where you can only progress by throwing your controller across the room and hitting escape repeatedly.

    This is really awesome. Killing enemies through ANGER just sounds fun. I would really like to see some more games implement this idea and expand upon it. Imagine the possibilities…yelling at enemies, singing your way through puzzles, firing different weapons by making different gun sounds…or maybe that would just get really old really fast. Certainly there would be problems with people losing their voice, but I think it might be worth it.

    radix is the man. i don’t typically post on news posts about these kinds of IRL meetups since they’re all circle jerks. but Radix is a cool guy. and this game idea is hilarious.

    Greatest game I ever played! I like how you have to figure out what sound to make to get thru barriers. Also that boss fight was EPIC! I think my neighbors hate me now though!

  7. falsion said about 3 hours later:

    damn radix is such a champ, tops himself every time.

  12. Keyser said about 7 hours later:

    Played this with my brother and we damn near choked our lungs out on the final boss. Radix must be a pro yeller (and judging from how hard I cracked up when I heard him yell DIIIIIEEEE! he mist be)

    SO GOOD

  14. Sash said about 8 hours later:

    Haha I was at this comp. It almost drove me insane, especially at 4 in the morning when you’re trying to get some shut eye and he starts screaming his lungs out.

    It was such an awesome idea through, when he pitched it nobody thought he could do it. But he did. By himself. Champion.

    After failing at Gamma (again), this is just what I needed to put me back in a good mood. :)

  16. Q said about 15 hours later:

    if they ever sell this, they should give away some sage candy with it

  17. radspencer said about 17 hours later:

    rad dicks is a rad dude

  18. JW said about 17 hours later:

    haha this looks great

  19. Juhkystar said about 19 hours later:

    What would make this even better would be multiplayer. Imagine having your friends over screaming their lungs out in some sort of deathmatch. ;)

  20. DeeDee said about 21 hours later:

    Yes. My god. Please. Multiplayer. Deathmatch. Pleeeeeease…

  21. judgespear said about 22 hours later:

    hell yeah, yelling battles. people can settle once and for all who is more manlier and more hotblooded than the rest.

  22. Xeno said 1 day later:

    That’s fucking awesome

  23. Phoomegaishun said 1 day later:

    This is art.

  24. Radix said 1 day later:

    Now to do an xblig sequel and become a hundredaire, haha.

  25. Nyogtha said 1 day later:

    RADIX IS NOW EVEN MORE AWESOME..

  26. Sergio said 1 day later:

    I’d like to see a GGJ roundup sometime soon!

  27. Ein said 1 day later:

    yeah i dont post on frontpage often too but this idea is awesome! radix ruling : D

  28. Exca said 1 day later:

    There was also similar game made in Finland during the gamejam, Play dead II: Growling of the dead where sound is used to imitate zombies, check it out here http://globalgamejam.org/2010/play-dead-2-growling-dead

  29. Jason Scott said 1 day later:

    The game, which looks a lot like Legend of Zelda, unwittingly (?) duplicates a functionality of that game, where if you screamed at certain enemies, they would blow up. The original Famicom had a microphone attachment, and you could yell. Demonstration here:

    So, well, welcome to 1986.

    “WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT!!!”

    aweSUM()

  31. Not that Guy said 1 day later:

    Wow, that was just amazing. I wish all games had that feature as a sort of backup when you continually get killed in one level or something. Just yell and everything on the screen is annihilated. Like something out of DBZ…

  32. paul eres said 1 day later:

    i saw this video earlier today and only later learned that it’s radix in that video; great video

  33. Hero said 5 days later:

    This game is rad, just like Radix. Great work.
