Holy shit! This is amazing. I would totally vote for this if I were participating. This is a very high level of game. Nice.
I'm really impressed by what you've managed to pull off in such a short space of time. Had a lot of fun with this :D
Very cool !
Great job! My only suggestion would be to use button controls for the cutscenes, instead of having to switch to using the mouse.
Good take on the theme too!
Oh yeah, this is a winner. Super Polished, Lots of Fun, and great sense of humor.
Loved it.
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you liked the game and we hope to make it even better! :D
This game is great! Fun art, good music, and a full on game! Good job. -Tony
haha, this is really funny!!
Very creative game.. I beat it :)
I'd give you a 5 on graphics if I could identify what the needed parts represent. City looks nice as well and the intro is cool.
Great game, very funny, definitely one of the most solid entries.
very entertaining =]
Solid game, very clean and I would love to see this expanded! Maybe more weapon types, smarter civilian AI, and other ways to collect resources rather than only bashing things with a bat?
I love the humor too! Great job!
Fantastic graphics. The gameplay gets a little dry after awhile though. The sound and music were well used. If you made the game more in depth it would be great.
Thank you all for the feedback! :D Yes, we do plan on adding more features to the game (such as crafting!) and we hope to release it on more platforms!
One of my favourite entries so far. Congratulations, I very much enjoyed that.
fantastic! very polished and i was excited when i figured out ways to find resources
great job! you are going to release the source code? i want to see it
Darn it... it's so hard... but so good!
The art, sound and game in general are amazingly polished for something made in three days, and running around whacking people for their stuff so you can save the world is just hilarious. I wanna see more of Lexe!
More than the sum of its parts. Some deaths feel kind of cheap because of unresponsive combat. Being chased by an angry mob is fun, but their pathfinding seems to lag the game considerably.
This would be on a whole different level if the materials had some in-game benefits through a crafting system.
The breaking everything mechanic is simple but very fun.
This game is very well done: great graphics and humor. I had a lot of fun with it. :)
It seems like attacking to the side is faster than attacking up or down. I can press attack with a faster rhythm going left/right, and that led to several deaths trying to fight guys above or below me. The narrative is very charming and the graphics are great. The sound effects are solid and it's nice to be able to really explore. Great entry!
Great game! A lot of content for such a short time.
What a great game. The art is very good and I love the music.
It took me a while to figure out you can enter the houses just by walking through the door. I was thought there was a control to do that :P
I'm amazed at how polished the game is in this amount of time.
Simply fantastic. I wouldn't change anything to expand this game, other then actually expanding it, give me level 2 where I go after Dr Ben Evelent!
Incredible work! I love the story and setting, bang on the money. The mechanics are so clean and and pure, this is a haiku of a game - nothing more could be removed without harming it, it is pretty much perfect for this competition, thanks for sharing! -J
Superb !
I loved the music and the plot, maybe the fact that you have to restart everything when you're get touched three times is a bit frustating
Thank you for your continued feedback, everyone! We greatly appreciate it! :D
Protip: Items don't disappear so save Apples and Steaks for when you're low on health!
Intro is good, mechanics are fine but the game is really too unfair and hard :)
That was pretty fun! Destroy all the things!! Good job!
Fun game. Destroying things is definitely a villains task. Looks like the theme disappeared towards the end but that was only brief. As for innovation, it used the keyboard, mouse, and a sprite map which is the average game. Overall it was fun.
It's like Pokemon meets Hotline Miami. Winning combination!
Fantastic game! Also, the plot! Also you have license to kill, AND cannibalize town property for good. Graphics ara amazing, hexe's hair is a perfect hemicircle, which is sorely missed from most pixel art. In short; I think you guys know very very well what you're doing. Full marks, and my hat off to you
Wow this is simply stunning, the real deal. Good work!
A really good game, remind me of the earlier version of pokemon which i have never played by the way.
Smashing things and people is always fun !
Congrats !
Memories of SNES era RPGs combined with some Minecraft-style harvesting action! Nice SNES art style, sound effects and music! Right now the game is a single action game (smash everything and collect whatever is left) and that is I think just right for a 48/72 hour compo. If you continue you'll have to add some other interactions. Curious what you'll come up with!
Congratulations on such a nice product.
BTW, your green pixel logo is very similar to Real software's old RealBasic app logo, they still use it in a modernised form now, so I'd be a bit careful about that. ref: http://www.realsoftware.com/download/ and http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=realbasic%20icon
Thanks, everyone! :D Love reading more and more great feedback!
@zenmumbler: Thanks! We'll keep that in mind! :D
Nice work, polish, fun and beautiful !
Evil scientists building death rays are always welcome, especially if executed that well!
Somehow moving.
A story for anyone who felt as though they were never good enough.
Very cute!
I found it very easy...But maybe I should have try not to kill people...I don't know ^^
Nice game and nice story
SQUEE, this game was so cute! And fun, I loved it!
I was surprised by the challenge level. I had to go hunt trees for healing myself, while keeping away from all the townfolk. Like an apple vampire or something. And I was really sad for Dr. Vile's fate.
One thing about the game... is it possible to beat it "peaceful mode"? At first, I tried to clear the game without killing anyone, but then I soon gave up... it is impossible, or is it? I mean, the enemies don't forget their aggro status, etc.
It would be cool if there was a different ending (even if a minor variation), if you could finish the game without killing a single civilian.
Also, one little downside, the music got repetitive after a while.
Thanks for the very fun game!
Great quality.. amazed at how much you got done here. If the number of objects you had to collect was reduced by half it might not have had a chance to feel repetitive.
Very polished entry. Nice intro and mood. And the difficulty was just right
I really like your background music the most! Very polished game!
great game, loved the art
Very good entry nicely done with lot of contents.
However while outside the game was lagging like hell. Inside houses it was fine :/
Nice and really fun! a little bit too hard for me
Great presentation and sense of humor, very well realized in general. Deliciously villainous to boot. Charming stuff.
Wow, that was amazing! Great art, nice sense of humour, lots of vibe.
Excellent! Complete in every way. I don't even know how to improve it.
This is lovely! like the intr, but it's way too long. a 3rd would be enough
Thank you all for the continued feedback! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! :D
Really fun game mechanics! A sleek graphical style with a fun story thrown in as well and you've got quite the game here!
I hope to see that next part of the game get developed. I'd love to take Dr. Ben Evolent down a peg! >:D
Lovely game I really enjoyed playing it!
Very polished... Great job!
One of my favourites! Loved it to bits :D
The cut scene could really have used button controls. Also really annoying that the cutscene broke the pixel size, really spoiled it for me.
Overall though ACE!
I really, really enjoyed this. Cool idea, great execution. It always baffles me how teams are able to produce so much content over the weekend without crashing and burning! Well done.
Nice work! I liked the story and graphics a lot.
The gameplay could perhaps use little something more to keep it from becoming too repetitive, and better bat collisions, it's a bit difficult to fight.
I somehow doubt this was completely made in 48 hours, but if it was, you are some sort of legend.
Less than 2 hours to rate! :D
Thank you all for the feedback and no matter how our entry does in the ratings, we're working to expand the game to Java and iOS! With more levels, areas, weapons, tools, enemies, etc. it'll be far bigger and better! We're also throwing in crafting so it'll be up to you what you want to create for Dr. Vile :D
Thank you again and we'll be keeping you updated!
@SuperDisk - You're absolutely right! The game was not made in 48 hours; it was made in 72 hours for the Jam :D
I was about to beat it... But... I hit a person through a wall and he ran of the screen. Then the game crashed. ._.
