this is seriously awesome. The graphics are superb,and the concept is weird and cool

I really liked the cutscene intro, and it was a really nice take on the theme. It would've been nice to introduce what each character was able to do either ahead of time or the first time you use each one. I wasn't sure what to do with some of them. D: Nice work, regardless!

Just amazing art, and mostly I fancy the logo - the text name of the game. :)

torvik88 2013-08-27 16:26

Why so little feedback? This game is great, nice work on arts and atmosphere. The heroes that keep changing are a wonderful addition. Really nice game.

wine 2013-08-27 19:48

Nice intro & hilarious gameplay. Well done! )

dreamteam 2013-08-27 19:49

The intro sequence has some really great artwork, and the characters in-game are interesting. The idea is really cool, and I like how random the transformations are. Good work! - SB

Good game! I enjoyed it! and loved the transitions in the cutscenes.

ithildin 2013-08-27 20:12

Awesome combination of the 10 second theme with glitches (If I recall correctly, it was also in the final voting round for themes). Some visual feedback when shooting would be nice, I thought that I wasn't doing anything with some of Doc's different forms.

Great work!

minionstudios 2013-08-27 20:25

Overall, nice art and animations! Great looking cutscenes, especially.

eelfroth 2013-08-27 20:55

I love this game!
Funny how both of our games' plots are about glitched spacetime. But your take on it is different, gameplay-wise. I like it. Nice glitch effects by the way!

beavlgames 2013-08-27 21:46

Hey, guys! Thanks for all the feedback! We love our character (the bearded doc), so we will be developing the whole universe a little further, at least on paper!

About the “visual feedback when shooting”... Yeah. We ran out of time. As simple as that!

Note: If you are interested in bearded Doc's story, follow us on twitter or send us messages on Facebook and we will keep you posted!

beavlgames 2013-08-27 21:49

Sorry about that. We rephrase that weird looking paragraph, heh:

About 'the visual feedback when shooting'... Yeah. We ran out of time. As simple as that!.

The Magneto-looking character was my favorite to play as, though steampunk jetpack man was a close second.
The intro really got me excited for the game, and I hope you'll take the time to add more attack feedback and an outro of some kind!

nicotuason 2013-08-28 01:48

Woah I really like the character and vehicle designs! Great artwork overall. Also very fun to try out all the different kinds of attacks.

dancingflame 2013-08-28 03:19

Cool characters! I like the "flying professor X" and the jetman a lot. The story is interesting and the opening is awesome. Nice work :)

crazi456 2013-08-28 18:29

Great cutscene art! Nice use of the theme, good job!

xgor 2013-08-28 18:52

Cool idea and it's pretty well made. I wish there was more user feedback with that the character would blink when he got hirt. Also I noticed that the shot doesn't show when the bullet character shoots.

lesterpig 2013-08-28 18:54

Amazing introduction and music, but the game itself isn't really fun (quickly boring). Graphics are ... awesome ! Good work ! :)

vaalen 2013-08-28 19:20

Very good game though sounds are a bit annoying. Graphics are beautiful.

gre 2013-08-28 19:44

Very good and polished graphics.

sylvain-p 2013-08-28 21:26

I love the glitch effect...but i'm not totally sure to having understood the gameplay. Maybe it need more obvious feedbacks.

anachron 2013-08-28 22:11

Really nice graphics and awesome opening sequence! The different characters with different play styles are cool too.

nerlin 2013-08-28 23:04

Nice and fun game with great art and sounds!

urth 2013-08-29 00:13

Nice work!

fgielow 2013-08-29 00:17

Wow, I really liked the transitions between the scenes and the characters! really neat intro, I was really well executed. and the game is really polished, I must say, congrats for the outcome

juaxix 2013-08-30 09:20

What a lot of good work and innovation! :)

jason 2013-08-30 14:23

Nice work guys! I'm constantly amazed at what people are pulling off in 48-72 hours!

firezenk 2013-08-30 14:32

Curious game, good graphics and I like the concept!

ointment 2013-08-30 15:33

I'm sure glad you managed to spend so much time on the intro that the game itself feels like it's barely been playtested.

paperblurt 2013-08-30 17:36

Looks good, sounds good! Great job guys..

darkshadow 2013-08-30 17:42

Nice intro, and the changing character is fun. With such nice looking sprites its surprising a simple laser shot is not among them. The 10 seconds jump between glitches seems a bit of a technical afterthought, when you were really following the glitch theme.

dudsen 2013-08-30 20:19

Glitching his way to the top of LD27 ;)

georgebroussard 2013-08-31 06:17

Cool art and setup. Gameplay needs a little work. I'd polish it up and work on it some more vs shelving it.

loxo 2013-08-31 09:44

Great graphics and an interesting concept. Sadly, controls are optimized for qwerty.

christinaneofotistou 2013-08-31 11:59

fantastic graphics! I struggled with the controls of the jetpack at first, but I got used to it quickly. 5/5 mood and fun!

beavlgames 2013-08-31 13:44

We will work eventually in this project and develop it further more! So thanks for all your feedback, guys!

We like the concept of an infinite brawler with multiple characters and survival mode. So we will work on some adds that help improve, as various stated, the gameplay:

- Platforms in order to let you jump and avoid certain enemies
- Better enemy's behaviour (they will try to knock you out with weird sticks and bombs that get you stunned. No more standing there and shooting!)
- Visual feedback when shooting
- Unlockable scenarios and story mode

So thank you all for your kind words! Cheers and keep playing and rating #ld27 games!

xrm0 2013-08-31 17:27

Great

evilentity 2013-08-31 19:30

Pretty curious.

graytest 2013-08-31 20:03

The intro and title screen are super nice. The game art is also nice, but I didn't really like the game play. Felt like I was just button mashing and it didn't matter much which character I had (except the flying one maybe).

codexus 2013-08-31 20:42

Pretty cool graphics! The gameplay itself feels like it needs a bit more polish to really shine. Keep working on it, that would be awesome!

phocker 2013-09-02 05:03

maybe best visuals so far -- good game -- nice job

otus 2013-09-02 17:33

I like the concept and the gameplay variation.

Good use of the theme in order to improve the gameplay, too.

Good work!

matthias_zarzecki 2013-09-05 21:19

This is lovely. Nice work!

murilo 2013-09-08 22:31

Amazing graphics! I liked the story and idea too. But the controls and collision detection let down a little.

antylum 2013-09-16 23:21

Art and music are awesome! Soldier's gun looks funny - like a photocamera from paparazzi :) Don't understand - do story events after some point, when i move forward, or it all endless?
