Kreayshawn, the Game
If my dude would wake at a regular time like THE REST OF THE WORLD, I'd have him come in here right now and figure out how to win this thing. As it stands, we're just jamming out alone, hitting "X" to the beat. I like it.
Once I figured out how to jump on the beach umbrellas I was allright, but then I ran into one of the beach ladies and turned into a cat. I think I'm probably some information about Kreayshawn.
@xx-xx-xx
How do you jump on the umbrellas? The answer is apparently not "just jump up there" (or I fail at that).
@OhShesArtsy It's not really jumping on the umbrellas, it's just double jumping, which you can do mid-air. You can press "x" as many times as you want to jump really high.
@OhShesArtsy Once I figured out you use the arrow buttons to move (I am a genius) I finally got all the way to the point where I got a little purple pill(?) thing. And then died again. But what is the pill and what does it do??
I am still playing because I have the attention span of a goldfish. Clearly this is the crack needed to get women playing videogames because I CANNOT STOP even though I am terrible.
@pterodactgirl AAAAAAHH!!! That makes me so happy to hear you say that because that is totally the point and is so amazing!
The way to get woman playing games is to get women making them. Period. End of story. It's not about marketing, or more pink, it's about the lack of diversity in the people who are making video games.
It's all white dudes with beards. Believe me, I know this first hand now. And it sucks. But I am changing that! Yay!
That being said, if you like my game you should check out my rad friend Mare's game "N" http://www.metanetsoftware.com/
She's also a woman, and her game is totally twitchy and crazy and frustrating in a similar (though I would argue, better) way that sounds like it might appeal to you. It's free to play as well!
@beth maher@twitter Hahaha. I'm glad you get so much joy out of completely destroying my productivity for the day.
Congratulations on your game though! It's awesome and very addictive. I will have to check out your friend's too. And down with bearded dudes!
I don't understand! I thought that lady and I were buddies but then I turned into a cat.
edited to add: "hitting 'x' to the beat" yes, whoops, now i have a purse. this is great
@but i'm a bird Me too! The lady hit me twice and took away my hearts. Then I figured out how to chase her. I headbutted her, turned into a cat and died.
@meattubs Yes I also thought that headbutting would be a winning strategy! Try X and Z.
Am I supposed to be picking up the purses that drop when I take a bitch down?
I want those purses.
Hey guys! I am a long time reader, first time commenter and THAT IS TOTALLY MY GAME!
I'm sorry you guys are having trouble with it – part of the problem is that the instructions are missing. They are however, here on my website:

You have to shoot the "basic bitches" otherwise you turn into a kitty.
z to jump
x to shoot
Part of the problem is also that it's just kinda a hard game. Sorry guys!
I actually made this game as part of a feminist initiative to get more women into the games industry. The Hairpin should totally talk to me about it sometime! I would love that!
@beth maher@twitter Women in the games industry = A+!
@beth maher@twitter
Love the game, love the idea of an interview!
@beth maher@twitter Fun! I got lots of popsicles and then fell into a hole. I like it.
@beth maher@twitter I really like animation of her earrings jiggling when she jumps. A nice touch
Love the game.
I just love the Hairpin. I really do. For all of this above.
I just completed World 1 and really enjoyed it. JUMPYJUMPYJUMPJUMPJUMP.
"gnarly!"
Maybe it's just me but this game is garbage.
@Kefera Heart@facebook Nope, I agree. I pressed a combination of keys (don't even know what I did) and it showed me a whole log of shitty errors like "no such instance: Walking". How is making a game with a consumers' tool indie game development? Doesn't promote "females in the industry" at all..
@Kefera Heart@facebook Posted this same thing on her blog but in a nicer way. Checked back to see if she'd replied, but I see she's deleted my comment. That's annoying.
