A well-polished game, though sometimes hard to control and the theme was implemented a bit, ... loosely.

kristinnes 2013-08-26 23:33

That was awesome!
like...
Really awesome. Good job dude

tork 2013-08-26 23:35

Shame it is a jam entry, wanted to see your source code and see how did you made GUI and a little about your physics.

Great job!!

bradleysmith 2013-08-26 23:52

Beautiful art approach and level design, rated very highly! :)

rezoner 2013-08-26 23:56

Oh wow, great doodling skills.

diogomuller 2013-08-26 23:57

Incredible game! Kinda hard to believe it was made in only three days. Good work!

pedroka 2013-08-27 00:01

Good work! Nice graphics!

blackhornet 2013-08-27 00:02

Neat design. Found the controls awkward and only the left-shift key works, not the right.

kacperski1 2013-08-27 00:32

Great game, but very hard. Couldn't get past lvl 2 for a very long time D:

h_double 2013-08-27 00:38

Love the art style.

john_conder9 2013-08-27 00:40

This game has an absolutely awesome feel to it, I love the music (fits really really well) and the sketchy graphics are perfect for the mad scientist atmosphere! The controls and glitching (when you die holding SHIFT you get stuck in phased mode until the meter runs out when you respawn) and the controls ... argh! I'd control this a precision platformmer with slippy controls.

The level design is spot on though, excellent job!

thriek 2013-08-27 00:43

5/5, though the controls could use improvement, this is a pretty cool game.

dew 2013-08-27 00:48

Cute artwork and very nice ideas inside!

I'd made the controls a bit softer ;P

hume 2013-08-27 00:50

The art and audio are great. I was often frustrated because jumping a certain height is easy in most games, and it's very important in this game, but I found it much more difficult than usual due to high momentum and low friction.

That is some very specific criticism for a very, very well done Jam entry.

rzfmzn 2013-08-27 00:51

Loved the art!

flashrocks 2013-08-27 00:58

It is amazing that this was made in only 72 hours! It is fun, addictive, all the positive words you can think of. The only complaint (and it is a minor one) is that the music gets a little repetitive.

2013-08-27 02:07

Wow, the game is awesome! The art, the music, the mechanics are on the top!

xndr 2013-08-27 09:11

Пятерки по всем пунктам, больше не получается :) Отлично !

robotparking 2013-08-27 17:15

SCIENCE HOMEWORK AESTHETIC

esayitch 2013-08-27 17:15

Wonderful entry! I especially liked the graphics and the superposition mechanic :P I think the handling/physics (jumping in particular) is a bit clunky though.

Still a very solid game with good art, music, and gameplay :)

paperblurt 2013-08-27 17:20

really like the graphics!

teamflare 2013-08-27 17:21

Seriously this is totally awesome. Style, music, gameplay and idea are top :) Gonna play this for a while now :)

jimmakesgames 2013-08-27 17:22

This is wonderful. I love the biro aesthetic and it's a great idea for a platformer. Very tricky though. I couldn't get past stage 11. Nicely done.

arrow-x 2013-08-27 18:51

ohhhhhhh ...I always to make game art like this ....Love it

tomcooper3d 2013-08-27 18:59

really solid game guys great job i love the mechanic- the controls are a little floaty but still great
awesome artstyle and design

markavian 2013-08-27 19:05

I gave up at level 13. I found it a real struggle to jump and press up and shift at the same time. On a previous level it took me quite a while to figure out I could press up to move through things.

crazi456 2013-08-27 19:23

Looks great! Was loads of fun!

timujin 2013-08-27 19:25

Awesome, awesome. Style is great, gameplay extra-fun.

finnegan2100 2013-08-27 19:27

Wow, what a cool, original idea! Looks and play great!

static-64 2013-08-27 19:29

This is a great game in mechanics, art, and sound. Even though the theme was minor, it strongly worked for what you made - it enhanced the levels in the way you used it.
5 stars!

dookie 2013-08-27 19:30

Well fucking done! :) Best game yet

ptsnoop 2013-08-27 19:30

Incredibly well polished for an LD game! I love the graphical style - although ten seconds is a frustratingly short time limit for some of those levels. But very well done!

anserran 2013-08-27 19:30

As other comment, controls are a little bit weird, but the graphics are really really amazing.

doubles 2013-08-27 19:32

Love the art style and audio. I didn't notice it used the theme unil later

ratalaika 2013-08-27 19:35

good job. Graphics very original. Hard to go in 10 seconds

gre 2013-08-27 19:45

Graphics are terrific.
Audio is good.
Difficulty was a bit high for my taste.

autlos 2013-08-27 19:47

5/5 in every category. This is the best game I've played so far.

The graphics are awesome. That "paper style". I've completed about 6 levels, the difficulty increase in every level is fine. I will keep the game in favourites ;)

thepattybeast 2013-08-27 19:57

very nice game really liked the art but the controls were way too loose

stenol 2013-08-27 20:09

Great game. I love the graphic style. Great work !

fgielow 2013-08-27 21:05

Great execution. The graphics and sound are very well made. The game has many levels for 72 hours. The theme could be well used.

nerlin 2013-08-27 21:08

Magnificient atmosphere! Awesome game!
Really great job. I really like this art.

sebastian 2013-08-27 21:17

Captivating art style. Really loved it. As others have said, controls are quite on the 'slidy' side, which detracts a bit from the gameplay.

flod 2013-08-27 21:37

liked the graphics and the gameplay !

p4nurge 2013-08-27 22:57

Great concept and the art style is just beautiful. The gameplay is very satisfying too, if a little tricky at times (slides a little too much for my liking). Excellent work!

mollymus 2013-08-27 23:33

I think this is my favorite game so far! Very well done! Beautiful game, with loads of potential! (Sketchbook-games rocks, right?:D)

namrog84 2013-08-28 00:32

Absolutely loved it, the graphics, music, the idea.

When just jumping and nothing else, it felt a little floaty?

I agree with Tork, I wish this had made it into the compo with teh source and how you approached some interesting solutions there!

devmax 2013-08-28 01:37

Gameplay is very fluid and the visual style striking. I found the control to be a bit too loose with the sliding around. At first it wasn't clear why the character was dying, adding a sound cue would have definitely helped. Game is pretty tough though, which isn't bad but the difficulty curve ramps up pretty quick. Great entry overall!

reaperguy 2013-08-28 08:40

Really liked the art and the transitions between levels - menus, but the controls were a bit hard too use.

agrdev 2013-08-28 18:15

Epic polish for only 3 days. Really liked it!
P.S: I am from small siberian town too btw :) Tomsk, you know.

flamecow 2013-08-28 21:25

Doesn't feel like it fits very well with the theme, but neat entry! I'm surprised this was able to be completed in the limited time for the LD.

beardbotnik 2013-08-29 02:41

Awesome job, I love the mechanics and the different levels seem all really well thought out. The graphics also seem really good and the music is very fitting.

ddionisio 2013-08-29 03:37

Ha, mad props for using quantum mechanics for your game! I love the art and the music fits really well!

I feel like this game would be more fun without the 10-second time constraint.

Also great amount of content, well polished game!

dagothig 2013-08-29 03:57

Oh god, it is so beautiful... the beauty is too staggering! MY EYES, HOW CAN THEY BURN SO MUCH?

aschearer 2013-08-29 04:16

Great job on the polish. The movement was a little clunky and the gameplay a little bit common, but truly great work for 48 hours.

atomicvikings 2013-08-29 05:31

NICE NICE NICE!!! I love the art :-)

koe415 2013-08-29 05:34

The controls felt a little too loose for me. Making them tighter would have made the game more enjoyable imo. Otherwise, great art and sound design! Very cute characters. And solid gameplay mechanics. Walls and chainsaw blades can't phase schrodinger's cat!

tiagoair 2013-08-29 06:36

Extremely well-polished game! awesome puzzles and graphics, great job!

xaychru04 2013-08-29 07:38

Wow, I really loved the concept and design of this game. The artstyle is very polished and fits well with the game. Good job! :)

m0n0quartz 2013-08-29 08:55

Great job, Nice use of the concept Schrodinger's cat ! Nice doodle graphics.

jglrxavpok 2013-08-29 08:57

I had some much fun to try to complete all the levels. Hard controls sometimes but still playable! Great job!

truiton 2013-08-29 08:58

A cute little game :)

diptoman 2013-08-29 09:18

The controls were a bit hard, but really, this game is a gem! So amazing, the graphics style, the soundtrack, everything. Had a lot of fun.

kristof 2013-08-29 11:18

Reminds me of math classes in school :) Nice look! The jumping feels a bit unresponsive and slow. Still a great entry!

ddrkirbyisq 2013-08-29 13:07

Cool. Your graphical style works well here. I almost feel like a puzzle game like this would just work better without the 10 second time limit, and some of the levels didn't really encourage much cleverness, but hey, it's Ludum Dare.

sengi 2013-08-29 17:52

Pen-style is very cool! turned out great!

chronusz 2013-08-29 18:14

Loved the idea, and the graphics were very nice. The level design was fantastic. I got to level 19 before having to quit :)

ivo 2013-08-29 19:12

Love the visual style of this one! Also very polished. Well done.

larzan 2013-08-29 19:12

Love the pencil style :)

sylvain-p 2013-08-29 19:35

Really good graphics, and well polished. I think the jump could be better with more "rigidity".

klianc09 2013-08-29 19:42

The transition from the no-friction Superposition to the high-friction normal cat often got me killed and this frustrated a little bit. But that's a minor complaint for an otherwise awesome entry.

imef 2013-08-29 20:23

Hard to believe this was made in just 3 days! It's amazingly well polished

jason 2013-08-29 20:32

Wow great job! I really loved the doodle graphics. Going with the pen look really worked.

m-gryko85 2013-08-29 20:50

Awesome game! Love the art style.

2013-08-29 21:06

awwwwwwwesoooome :D cool graphics, smooth controls .. great ;)

ghribacki 2013-08-29 21:29

I really like the visual style!
Controls are not as tight as it could be and can be frustrating sometimes, but it doesn't stop the game from being good! =)

gfm 2013-08-29 21:42

Great game! :)
You guys were able to teach all of the gameplay only by itself! That's really something! :D

But, though really pretty, I found the trasitions a tad too slow... In games that you might fail a lot, it's better if to make it quicker...
Also, the controls are a little weird... The max velocity should be lower and the acceleration should be higher (when not in the box). But that can be only my tastes on character movement... ^^"

kohijin 2013-08-30 00:06

Very polished presentation! The controls feel a little too 'floaty' though.

sestren 2013-08-30 00:26

I really enjoyed the art style, and the mechanic and levels both went together really well.

almax27 2013-08-30 12:10

Really nice game, art is lovely!

Good job. :)

whydoidoit 2013-08-30 17:50

Absolutely amazing looking game, I love it.

gravyhands 2013-08-30 23:18

Great graphical style. Controls could use some polish. Cool concept.

supercannon 2013-08-31 19:02

Cool entry, controls are a little loose and the gameplay isn't very unique. Solid entry otherwise!

codexus 2013-08-31 22:36

Very nice graphics style!

pragmascript_ 2013-09-02 00:29

cool game :) (also my cat's name is schrödinger)

cryunreal 2013-09-02 04:52

it's funny =D

christinaneofotistou 2013-09-02 13:36

Hahaha! Awesome phasing mechanic. Beautiful graphics (and the ink effect, although a little slow), and cool puzzle stages! Top marks

recursor 2013-09-02 18:30

The hand-drawn notepaper look is really nice.

zanval 2013-09-02 21:04

Those graphics... *_*
The game looks great. I cannot play (only have linux. Unitys Web Player is WIndows/Mac only), but the youtube video was already fun to watch.

Using the theme to make each level last 10 seconds is not the most creative way I've seen it being used. That's all the negative criticism I have :)

zillix 2013-09-03 06:50

fantastic effects and aesthetic! the game mechanic is actually really cool and interesting. great job!

colapsydo 2013-09-05 09:18

The whole biro pen design is awesome, and you choose really well the music, it's great.
I had fun along those 20 levels playing with both states of my cats. When the crossbows arrive, it begins to be a little bit hard, but that's ok for a Schrodinger's cat.

infernet89 2013-09-12 22:09

I have to admit, i'm in love with the graphic style and music of this game!
The idea of a quantum superposition able to move wherewer you want is very clever. I don't liked too much the time limit (too little for superposition, and ten seconds each level is very short[maybe superposition should stop time?]) and the controls a bittle juicy!

cryunreal 2013-09-13 00:36

Thank you very much! We plan after voting to continue develop (to make more levels, to remove the limit of 10 seconds to make art even better)

mrblade 2013-09-14 01:21

WOW. This is a master piece. The art is very polish. The music is just amazing. Very nice work. Puzzles were great too! I feel like there is potential for a mobile game out of this! Keep it up! 9/10

exergy 2013-09-14 13:55

The graphics and music in this game are beautiful!
Controls a bit "slow" but still a lot of fun!

zephyr89 2013-09-14 14:49

More games need a Quantum Superposition Button. :) However if you made the cats collision box a bit smaller it might "feel" a bit more responsive.

saintheiser 2013-09-15 02:40

Good game, man!
I love you graphics!
Gamemechanics not bad too.
Only issue - is loooooooong time restart.

kimidori 2013-09-15 04:38

cleared the game, 5 stars!

theholychicken 2013-09-16 00:40

Beautiful sketch doodle art style! It would be great if the cat looked less smooth and more sketchy to blend in with the rest of the art..

urth 2013-09-17 01:54

NIce game.
