Bernard & Hank version 1.01
--------------------------

Changes in this version:
- slower acceleration
- weaker gravity
- boss bug fixed

The first and probably last game by the Peasants:

Matt Esch (levels, music)
Johan Jansen (levels, coding)
Matt Olver (music)
Sander van Reek (levels, coding)
Ryan Wilfong (levels)
Tom Filhol (levels)
Hayo van Reek (gfx, sound, music, levels, coding)

Bernard & Hank is about the farmer Bernard Buffalo and his retired friend Hank Hoedown.
The evil businessman NationalLiberal wants his farmland, to build a factory farm on it.
He sends out his minions to steal the deeds to the farm. Bernard and Hank will have to
get this back, and they have to get rid of all the liberalminions. They will have to go
through 40 normal platform levels, 3 driving levels and meet 15 different enemies to do so.
The game is a bone-headed platformer with moving platforms, collecting coins,
jumping on fat people and getting shot by cowliberals. The game also contains some minigames,
to be unlocked by finishing levels.
I used a 52 colour palette for the gfx, because I felt like doing something different,
I have been using quite enough colours in my candy-ish Fishhead games.

Although this game took 15 months to create (we started in december 2003), only about
6 months were really spent on working on the game. We orinally started working on this
with 3 people: Matt Esch, Johan and me. More team members were added along the road, but
it all started falling apart pretty soon due to some non-click related problems.
Still, it was nice to work with these great people, and the game wouldn't be there without them.

If you download this game and expect this to one of the best click games ever, it will
leave you pretty disappointed. The game is so simple it is hardly there. The gfx are
simple, the sounds are simple, the music is simple, the gameplay is simple and paralaxing is nothing new.
If you expect a decent and fun game to kill some time, this will actually
make you happy. The game is pretty big, no standard movements were used, and all gfx, sound effects
and music are original.

The zip file also contains a configuration app (window size, backgrounds) and an instruction manual.

Please report bugs here, I will try to fix them all.

The music is probably the best clickgame music ever, 'wild west' is great!

"Natomic, Faind or HES" - Wait a minute... we made a GAME? Why was I not informed? This one is... OK. I like the retro feel, but there's not really a lot new or interesting about it.

I don't believe this peace of *** is gonna win GOTW award...

well, despite boring the socks off people, its a decent game for what it was meant to be. so winning GOTW really doesnt surprise me id like to state that my opinion remains the same though... "being retro" is not an excuse for being incredibly boring

I hate the word "retro" Its a fashion word, retro isn't retro at all. This game just had a lot of restrictions, and was never meant as a klik-classic or something. "I don't believe this peace of *** is gonna win GOTW award..." learn how to spell little boy :)

you gave this game a 9/10 based on the fact that it "does exactly what it says on the tin"? i should make a pong game and only mean it to be a well put together pong game, and i better get a fucking 9/10

Qoute: "If you download this game and expect this to one of the best click games ever, it will leave you pretty disappointed. The game is so simple it is hardly there. The gfx are simple, the sounds are simple, the music is simple, the gameplay is simple and paralaxing is nothing new. " Thats why i said that - no hype in the dl description, and its also a very good game.

Thanks Andy! one note, I did not "choose" the sounds, I made them.

22nd March, 2005

ok, I wasn't sure if they were made by you or taken from somewhere else. It was hard to tell since they were very 8-bit sounding.

The final boss is very anti-climatic (and extremely easy!)

It may be antivirus software interfering with your file transfers. Try changing your permissions for the download location and that may help. I woudn't normally recommend completely disabling AV software for the duration of the download, but that's also an option.

Posted by Retired Kliker Lazarus

24th March, 2005

Alright, downloading...once more. If it doesn't work THIS time, I'll dc-mail you, Hayo.

i ALWAYS get stuck in the ground. that really ruins the game :( like i wont play it anymore. i already tried the first 4 levels 5 times and i couldnt beat those because i always get stuck in the ground :( the graphics are nice though

Posted by Hayo

28th March, 2005

I actually never get stuck, no matter how hard I try, thats why I can't really fix that bug. People who got stuck told me you can get out by jumping a bit and stuff.
