Crap sorry for the late reply, I don't remember where I found it, I think it was in a .swf archive of some sorts, and I don't think I can attach the .swf file to here

Zip it up and you should be able to, if not anonfile should work and give you a link you can share.
In case anyone still wants the last available version of the game (A.28) (all platforms and not just .sfw)
I have uploaded them to pomf.cat
Here are the downloads:
Hope this helps someone out. Such a shame development had to stop.

If you go back a bit in this thread, you'll find that someone already offered to continue the game.
However, it's been well over a year now and still no word on any progress made, so I'm not particularly hopeful. It might be possible to continue, but whoever does so will have to:
- Continue the story
- There is very little to go off of, and what is there indicates a fairly complex storyline
- Copy the art style
- Not an artist, but this seems like it would be pretty hard to do considering most artists develop their own style and never switch
Flash. Which is why I don't hold high hopes. Decompiling Flash is an absolute hell in the best case.

Extracting the data is the easy part, don't think the art style needs to be copied 100%, but I will say it is effort, and would likely need to be ported to unity or something.
That's the problem ... if there is a program to do that, it wouldn't be too hard to continue.

There are a large number of flash decompliers, that said the code likely wouldn't work as is outside of flash. Getting this game ported into pick an engine, requires knowing how to code. The rarest skill of them all these days.
As a programmer, I wouldn't say this game would require too much knowledge to code. "Angry birds tutorial Unity" is a googlable thing and while not for absolute newbies, this kind of game is not very hard to make. The problems will start when integrating art with the game, unless the art comes in "absolutely game-ready state" which is never the case. Scalability problem will come later when the game gets extended with features, and IMHO it's the problem that kills most projects (maybe this one too?) and highlights difference between an experienced dev and an aspiring one: it doesn't require much knowledge and skill to start up, especially if there are fancy pictures/animations to show, but adding more features turns the code into unmaintainable mess.
Also don't forget that Maskopatol explicitly asked not to put copies of his work anywhere online. So, using his art in a new game is not an option either even if it can be extracted in some state readable in other engines / I see standard texture atlases, but not animation curves. And even if it's possible, then not too reasonable, because it will block how far the game could be extended by the existing art, and as already noted above, keeping the artstyle is also quite complicated.
Yes, this is the reason why "(free and) open source" concept exists
So that the projects won't die even with author no longer able to contribute it in any way.And in the end if one actually makes a "new game" with "new art"... it's just a new game.
And with the amount of attention (e.g. comments/year or positive reviews on this forum) this game gets in comparison to an average VN/idler...

The art would scale to any res, this is flash. It's a very well known fact that flash uses vectors not rasters. So the artwork and sound can be taken 1 for 1. This game is also different then angry birds, in that body parts take different damage, not that it makes it any "harder" to program. The issue still is the age old problem of no one knowing how to actually code. After all if you actually can code, odds are you have a job coding or your own project by now.

Does anyone here know of a game, similar art-style, I may be wrong but again made by Maskopatol, where it's basically a platformer and if you fall onto a pole (horizontal or vertical) your character basically gets a turbo version of ball/cuntbusting and just comically keels over and coughs up a half-eaten taco?
I hope my description jolts someone's memory, been trying to find that hilarious gem.

I remember that one and it's been years ... haven't found a slight trace of it sadly :c
Game is abandoned but isn't very complicated to modify
