Hmm. Well, the web link takes me to a downloadable dropbox .swf file which didn't work. It said windosill crashed. I downloaded the Mac OS X file and when I double-clicked it, it loaded up Machinarium from my steam directory.

Really nice! The gameplay is very simple and quite enjoyable. I really like the graphics, they certainly took some sweet time. Music is fine too. Although I'd say movement speed is far too slow, it's getting tedious watching your character slowly strolling across the screen.

It's a good concept and it's fun to play, but it could use some programming polish, especially colliding with the knights.

got it to work by downloading it then opening the swf in Firefox. Nice game with good graphics and sound. The fly recharge is slow (note the exact same comment has been said of my game) and you drop really fast when you fall.

Fun idea, a bit difficult at first to understand where to bite your victims. Would have been nice to have some sort of way to extend time while searching for victims.

Music seemed oddly happy-go-lucky for attacking hapless villagers. :)

good concept. it really hurts to be stabbed with spear...

Like the graphics. It's really hard to avoid the guards. Also coincide with Beanalby in that the music is to happy to be sucking blood out of your victims :-)

The download-and-open-manually thing worked for me. :D Thanks!

This is a fun game. Good job!

Protip: If there's one web link for all OS's, just label the first field web and get rid of the others.

Interesting game, but I found it a bit slow... would've been better if there was some goal instead of the time limit, I think.

Graphics were pretty good, although you should set it so that the game doesn't scale, because the pixel graphics don't scale well.

Good. Smooth, responsive, not too fancy.

Great graphics, but for some reason it ran incredibly slow on my laptop. Timer still seemed to go at a normal pace though, which unfortunately made it really difficult to get anyone before the time was up.

Pretty cool! I couldn't work out how the hide action worked, do you need to do it when you're in front of certain areas? I liked how the music sped up towards the end

Great gfx, as already said music is little too happy, but nice tune. Congrats.

I might suggest putting your swf file into an html page so it is easier to open. Some people might not know to open it in their browser.

Well it's not very responsive and screen shakes on slopes. I don't know if this is because the game is so awesome or my PC is that lame...
The idea is good though. Also nice gfx and music.
