Beautiful and heartwarming game. The puzzles are fun and challenging.

Awesome homage. This really shows off what puzzlescript is capable of, graphically. I enjoyed playing this.

glovecat 2013-12-17 02:48

I love the art-style, the story, the gameplay. You're a really fun material on your hands!

gravityscore 2013-12-17 02:50

That is the cutest and cleverest of the LD games I've played! Really, really awesome game! Lovely pixel graphics, and some moderately challenging puzzles!!

cosmicadventuresquad 2013-12-17 03:42

I love the Pokemon references and challenging puzzle gameplay. Great job!

btwj 2013-12-17 09:26

Fantastic puzzles, and the art is really nice too. I love Teen Peewee haha. Pokemon forever!

mventurelli 2013-12-17 13:21

Haha this is so cute, and the puzzles are fun :)

tonbery 2013-12-17 16:22

Awesome game guys. Loved the graphics and the sounds. Music would be good too, but the texts between levels was so fun that it took time to miss music.

grincreative 2013-12-17 16:30

Very funny game! Awesome references! xDDDD
Congrats, and welcome to the world of Ludum Dare \o/

2013-12-17 16:41

Ha! very nice game,
I was defeated in some levels, but I continued and managed to lead it to know Mom. Gotta Catch 'Em All!

mnemusyne 2013-12-17 17:11

Game of the year.

chaoseiro 2013-12-17 17:57

Loved it! Really nice puzzles and references!

coblynau 2013-12-17 18:47

Very good combination of puzzles and gameplay. I really enjoyed this. :)

wisegamer 2013-12-17 19:31

Loved it! so cute and lovely!

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 20:35

Great one guys! Congratulations! Great art and really funny theme!

lipedal 2013-12-17 20:41

We loved making Tall Grass, and we plan on doing a "expansion pack" with a few more end-game levels. Glad you liked it, guys! Please spread the word :D

Jeremias 2013-12-17 22:36

Cute little game. Sad that you hadn't the time to elaborate on this, adding more game mechanics. Furthermore, I miss a bit of music. Anyway, very good job in making a little game.

psychomonster 2013-12-17 22:50

OOOOOHHHH THIS is so CUTE I'm gonna die. Cool genre mix... football was great! Monster is so nice... So much love in so little pixels :D Best game for me so far

My first impressions on the game :) Had a little trouble to get it to run on firefox, ended up using chrome instead.

infinitenutshell 2013-12-18 00:33

I was disappointed that my friend-creature didn't do anything in the first half of the game, and that I didn't do anything in the second half. Also, why was undo disabled?

I loved the graphics though.

symmeteer 2013-12-18 07:10

Love it - but couldn't get past the level after the first monsters. Am I missing something?

Also, I checked out the Luderia trailer - it looks fun and a bit hilarious! (Ballet?)

lipedal 2013-12-18 16:23

Symmeteer, remember you can push against a wall or against a monster to pass a turn. Try doing that, it makes things easier :)

Daniel, sad to hear Tall Grass didn't work on Firefox! Anybody else had the same problem?

stigmawall 2013-12-19 03:30

Ok, you put puzzlescript in a next level right now.

sience 2013-12-19 09:54

Charming game and nice puzzels.

lukuluk 2013-12-19 22:22

Really fun to play, I enjoyed the clever puzzle mechanics, and the mood is retro-cool !

garethiw 2013-12-20 12:13

Cute, and the puzzles were a nice twist on the usual sliding block kinda thing.

matx 2013-12-20 14:34

Interesting idea, has some potential

madball 2013-12-20 14:59

Nice game! It shows that Puzzlescript can make a big variety of games. I think it can't be compared with usual Puzzlescript puzzles, as it relies on storytelling.
The gameplay was interesting, though not challenging. But again, it's not a puzzle.
Graphics were cool, too. I guess you spent a lot of time on it. It doesn't even look tiley!
The objective of the last level was not obvious. What is that thing? A repel? Nope, it's a ball. Why does it look like that? And where do I have to place it?

potomak 2013-12-20 15:42

I'm really happy to see a game made with @increpare's PuzzleScript! Really nice game!

lipedal 2013-12-20 16:03

Thanks for the feedback! Last level was a rushed idea, sorry for that. We had football levels, monster levels, and levels where you kick a ball into the goal while escaping from monsters.

We wanted to explore Teen Pewee in a fourth type of level though, where he must reach the 'ball' first (an item canister like those of Pokemon), and bring it back to the kid. It should be the most challenging kind of level, but you have the advantage of controlling only one character (harder to die that way), and after getting the ball you can use it to navigate through the monsters.

I think that idea should have been introduced earlier, in order to work well. We'll write a post mortem later, and put that as one of the things that we did wrong (:

daredevildave 2013-12-20 16:21

Very nice. Love the low-fi graphics.

pixlexia 2013-12-20 16:38

Very cute game! I really love the pixel art and the puzzles. Keep it up!

evilseanbot 2013-12-20 20:15

Really great use of the limitations in the graphics.

gfm 2013-12-20 21:21

I really liked the graphical style! So cute and simple!

The game was also moody, in that you create a relationship between the player and the creature...

Nicely done! =D

soy_yuma 2013-12-20 21:33

The only thing about this game is the audio. BUT PEWEE IS SO AWESOME I CAN LIVE WITH THAT! This game is one of my favourite :-)

frederickk 2013-12-20 21:46

Well, it is really minimalist but very well done.
The puzzles are great, the art and music really fits one another.
Nice job!

moop 2013-12-21 11:19

Cute game with some fun puzzles.

withoutpillow 2013-12-21 14:17

just lovely.

diegomachado 2013-12-21 21:32

You guys delivered some beautifull game, love the references and the usage of PuzzleScript was quite impressive.

Abraços do amigo brasileiro! Muito bom! :)

jerrre 2013-12-22 16:33

Nice graphics, the sound of peewee started to nerve me after a while.

leoche 2013-12-23 14:59

Cool graphics!

lasergans 2013-12-23 22:15

Cool idea, is fun to play! Like the gameplay and the graphics

archaeometrician 2013-12-27 15:45

Great graphics, funny theme :) Congrats !

loxo 2013-12-28 10:53

A really great game! I like the graphics, the audio and the puzzles and had much fun playing it. The progression of the difficulty is quite nice, except for the last level. It took me some time to solve all the puzzles, the second last was the hardest. The last one was much easier, because the enemies were blocked by the object you move. Maybe it would be better, if the enemies could pass through that object. It definitely would increase the difficulty ;)

captainkraft 2014-01-03 15:27

You did a lot of cool stuff using a very simple tool. I've just started tinkering with PuzzleScript myself and I'm impressed at how you used it to make something pretty cool. Well done

stvr 2014-01-04 06:57

An adorable game that really shows the power of PuzzleScript!

nyrrrr 2014-01-04 17:24

PIKACHUUU!!!! :)
Neat game :)

somepx 2014-01-04 21:06

lowcade 2014-01-05 14:33

Very cute and beautiful graphics and a fun gameplay. I love minimalism and you use very well. Nice work.
