Take Nergar the Icelandic Aardvark through the Welsh valleys, solving people’s problems.
This was an entry into GMC Jam #6, where it came joint last. I did, however, win Best Devlog. Since the GameMaker Community that #6 was held on is gone as of December 2019, here it is for your benefit:

”The funny awesome one” - TheUltimate
”This was actually fairly entertaining. A lot of the humour is pretty ridiculous though, and much of it I just don't get.” - fyaopo
”This one is great if you're looking for a good laugh.” - brighteyes
“The text seems to be filled with British inside jokes that don't make any sense to someone like me.“ - RekNepZ
“I really am not sure how I got some of the achievements, but I got them.” - Follomania
”Figured I'd get this one out of the way first since it looked a bit offensive.” - Spydog
”I ended up just walking around apparently solving problems that I didn't know I had.” - Rusty
”The game was funny, vulgar, self-referential, oddly drawn, and reeking of low effort.” - speedchuck
”You're a terrible person. I am too, so I had a couple of chuckles.” - Zeddy
”*reads warning* "Oh it can't be THAT offensive..." *plays game for a minute* "..." *chucks truckload of bricks at NAL*” - 11clock
