Love the art style. Also, very fun to play! :)

my girlfriend says that your game is really cute! such a nice idea.

Boz 2011-12-20 20:56

Midas is absolutely brilliant! Kudos to you guys on such an addictive little concept. It's nicely polished as well. Love the minimal-yet-expressive feel of the game.

merthsoft 2011-12-21 04:50

Wow. Simply amazing. Great work!

ratking 2011-12-21 11:59

This is a great idea, and executed well. Make a full iOS game or something like this out of it!

A brilliant reimagining of the tale of the king Midas. Beautiful art, great puzzle mechanic.

jeck 2011-12-21 18:15

Very sweet little game. The ending credits are evil :)

the-jack 2011-12-21 18:30

Brilliant. I would totally steal this if I was of the thieving bent.

kitch 2011-12-21 19:32

Wonderful concept. A great little game!

quinnius 2011-12-21 19:55

Everything about this game is wonderful. It is simple in its rules yet challenging, and the sound and art complement each other perfectly. It's got an innovative mechanic that is engaging and also sourced in mythology. I love it.

bostelk 2011-12-21 20:09

k, switched up my flash versions and got it to work. great entry! i really enjoyed it, the puzzles were at a perfect difficulty and it's really meshes with the theme.

sos 2011-12-21 20:14

A perfect example on how to make games in 48h, well done, my sir!

msleeper 2011-12-21 23:52

Simply amazing.

kellythomas 2011-12-22 03:28

Great

taintedfork 2011-12-22 05:13

This is brilliant. I've always loved when people make games based on stories, and this is no exception.

Great concept, flawless execution. All around great game. Very enjoyable.

nddrylliog 2011-12-22 06:53

Loved the concept and art, like everyone else. Really well done!

dock 2011-12-22 11:25

This is the most wonderful game I've played during LD22. I hope I find some more games as special as this.

mjiig 2011-12-22 17:09

Really fun, a great interpretation of the theme, and polished enough that I wouldn't even have thought it was a rapidly developed game if I hadn't been told. well done :)

wgemigh 2011-12-22 19:13

This is a great game and one of my favorites. The gameplay and the story tie together very well and the puzzles were thought-provoking but not annoying. The sound effects work well. I ran into one annoying bug where hitting R before falling to death would restart the level twice.

I hope you continue development and add some music and character animation!

Great job!

increpare 2011-12-22 20:48

Loves it :)

Lots of room for more fun level design.

iansnyder 2011-12-23 02:28

Amazing, my favorite game so far!

madmaw 2011-12-23 02:30

Awesome

sonnybone 2011-12-23 07:44

GENIUS!!! I love the concept of this little puzzle game. GREAT WORK!

binary_girl 2011-12-23 13:22

really good stuff man :) great concept gfx/sfx!

matthias_zarzecki 2011-12-23 17:48

Ahh, lovely. Also, wonderful level-design.

angrygeometry 2011-12-23 18:05

this was very nice! hope you continue development after ld!

h-attila 2011-12-23 22:06

I had a hard time with this game until I realized that brute force might not be a good idea here. The puzzles aren't that hard if you stop and think for a while.
Nice minimalistic graphics, great concept, good execution.

shiftingparadigms 2011-12-24 05:21

Great game, not too hard but makes you think and the art style really works.

frosty 2011-12-24 11:15

Brilliant!

lanoiadimuu 2011-12-24 14:51

True genius game!

cjke-7777 2011-12-26 05:38

Great!!

okkwogg 2011-12-26 19:30

Great Game! :D

tcstyle 2011-12-26 19:51

Great idea, quite difficult. Like the minimalistic look.

summaky 2011-12-26 20:30

A word: awesome!

arkeus 2011-12-27 22:53

My favorite thus far. :)

make-a-game 2011-12-27 23:10

This is my favorite game from the Jam so far. Awesome game mechanics, clean style and you even gave it a light storyline. I'll get back to this one after I've checked the other games. Great job!

jigxor 2011-12-29 09:14

Really awesome work guys! The concept was very unique and lead to some fun mechanics. I finished the game and had a lot of fun. Nice job!

treeman 2011-12-31 08:55

Glorious!

chardish 2012-01-01 12:26

Fantastic! Stuck on level 12...

seagaia 2012-01-01 20:55

I really like the art style and the game mechanic - but for me, when too many blocks turn gold, the game slows down a lot.

kibertoad 2012-01-05 19:13

One of the best games this LD.

cosr 2012-01-09 12:41

I loved this. A few of the puzzles were quite tricky, but they were all well done. Very effective at telling a little story.

veralos 2012-01-11 23:39

The main mechanic is original, and leads to many fun and challenging puzzles. The graphics and sounds are simplistic, but still very effective. Overall, an excellent game.

bluevoid 2012-04-07 03:39

really like the simple art, it let's you focus more on the game mechanics and cool concept.
