Good game! Not a huge fan of the graphics, but very well made.

zerebruin 2013-08-26 06:44

Looks like we had the same basic idea! Pretty well-rounded game, Although I think chiptune music would have fitted better. Fiendishly hard towards the end, too :)

customphase 2013-08-26 09:03

Nice little game! Although music is pretty annoying and bad, sorry.

hypnohustla 2013-08-26 09:12

Great concept. New game mechanics are introduced well, and the ambient track adds a nice mood to it.

xaychru04 2013-08-26 09:50

An other original take on the theme! Great game, simple graphics and gameplay., I like it. :)

nitrodeus 2013-08-26 13:55

Nice graphics, good gameplay, simple and nice soundtrack
good job :)

acrimiens 2013-08-26 14:13

Good Gameplay!

gikdew 2013-08-26 15:27

Watching you in the stream was really enjoyable, and you made a really nice game, I love the graphics and the gameplay.

misfit 2013-08-26 15:40

Nice retro style and great gameplay. Good Job!

hbocao 2013-08-26 16:14

Great idea, buddy. Awesome game!

uwap 2013-08-26 16:29

Really funny game :)

justicegames 2013-08-26 16:48

I like this game

lordjosephdeburg 2013-08-26 17:31

When I made it to the three button room I rage quit lol. Good game.

tau7153 2013-08-26 22:22

Hey Galman, very nice game. I especially like the use of the theme to enforce the main mechanic.

slymodi 2013-08-27 01:45

Very good!

blizzil 2013-08-27 12:18

Nice game with simple but fun mechanics :) Well done!

crazyrems 2013-08-27 12:25

Nice way to exploit 10 seconds. It's a cute game.

rzfmzn 2013-08-27 12:41

Nice! Liked the way you used the 10 seconds! :D

truiton 2013-08-27 12:47

I enjoyed playing this game, simple gameplay and graphics (and not as in "boring" ^^ )
It's fun! Bravo!

tylerb1 2013-08-27 12:52

Great game. A bit slow gameplay for my taste, but I really found it fun anyways. I like the graphics, and the music is very fitting. Great concept and implementation of the theme.

Good job!

ghribacki 2013-08-27 13:18

I like the mood that the graphics and the music blend into!
The game is a bit challenging (read "hard"), but pleasant to play overall. =)

2013-08-27 13:23

Muito legal! atima mecanica.

muciojadpl 2013-08-27 13:31

Interesting. I love this graphics style :) Nice job.

kristof 2013-08-27 15:32

Nice and polished. A bit sad, that we do not see the game most of the time ;)

dooleus 2013-08-27 17:27

Fun mechanics, good difficulty curve, and a cute, polished art style. The audio is nice, too, and fits the art perfectly. Lots of fun... great job!

rezoner 2013-08-27 21:14

Adorable. Would be fun with some night creatures trying to get you when the lights are off.

jlauener 2013-08-28 20:05

Nice cute little game, really like the mood. And the puzzles are good :)

georgebroussard 2013-08-29 00:29

Pretty fun. Played about 5-6 levels. Basically a memory game. I feel like some of the levels maybe should have been a little simpler for the 10 seconds. I died and re-tried a lot :)

diogomuller 2013-08-29 01:04

Very nice game. The idea is pretty different from the other games I've seen, and I like the graphics. :)

kirbytails7 2013-08-29 03:18

Very nice! I liked the simple design to account for the lack of light.

mamoniemm 2013-08-29 04:30

Super cool game, i love it !

futuristteletex 2013-08-29 05:12

enjoyed it

jrbitt 2013-08-29 05:16

Congratulations! Very nice game! I loved the timelapse too =D

photon 2013-08-29 05:41

Well executed to be sure. Got a little boring after awhile, but the game works well enough. Good job!

deathray 2013-08-29 06:02

great use of theme!

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-29 08:15

Solid puzzler! love the effective artstyle and the light-mechanic :)

spaceoff 2013-08-29 08:24

That was pretty neat. Loved the art style and atmosphere, and that quiet little track never got old.

neo-blue 2013-08-29 08:58

Cute character and graphical style. The game is a really clever take on the theme. It gets surprisingly tough later on. Nice work!

patacorow 2013-08-29 12:56

Love it!

orangepascal 2013-08-29 15:01

Very nice game! really enjoyed playing this one for much longer then the others so far :)

otus 2013-08-29 15:29

I really like this.

There's a nice variety to the levels, and the memory challenge is cool. The graphics are pretty and the audio blends fine with the game.

Nice work!

garethiw 2013-08-29 15:56

Cool idea, cute graphics. Nice ambient soundtrack.

lizengland 2013-08-29 19:59

This was really well done!

zuige 2013-08-29 20:15

Awesome game! Had a blast with this one. The light mechanic works really well and the graphics are cute! :)

christina-nordlander 2013-08-29 21:58

This got challenging towards the end! Simple but cute graphics, excellent music (the sound effects were basic, but the music more than made up for it), and the gameplay is great and (as far as I can tell) pretty innovative. One of the more polished entries I've played so far.

Nitpicks: movement was a bit slow, and given the importance of the button sound effects, they should probably be a bit louder. These are very minor nitpicks, though.

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-29 22:32

Great solid game, with a nice use of the theme!! I featured it in a compilation video of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVjNz61S5Vg

acro 2013-08-29 22:39

simple graphics did the job, it's clear you spent a lot of time playtesting and making the whole thing really smooth and polished - the quality really shows. For a 48h game, this is very, very well done indeed! Good use of the theme, as well. This held my attention completely and I couldn't stop until the very end.

gfm 2013-08-30 00:04

Nice use of the theme! :)

manuq 2013-08-30 01:34

Great sprites! I laughed the first time I saw the character from behind, cute backpack :) The die effect is great too.

unept 2013-08-30 15:08

Nice job on this one. I found it on Kongregate. :) Love the pixel graphics, and the use of the theme.

mrspeaker 2013-09-01 12:49

Really cool idea... I feel like it would be more fair that you get a tiny glimpse of the level at the start, as you are always going to use up a tiny amount of your precious time that way.

I think the graphics and audio were perfect - the drone-y tones work better than a chip tune I think... more ambience.

raiyumi 2013-09-02 07:25

Really smooth and good game! :)

phocker 2013-09-02 20:17

nice effort but i thought the puzzles were not too hard -- great job

psychomonster 2013-09-04 21:01

I like this kind of minimalistic game art. A few pixels, not so much sounds... great designed levels! Cool!

soundless_dev 2013-09-05 00:39

Very nice, very smooth and not too absurd gameplay.
