Sweet game! Once I figured out not to press "A" in order to play it properly it was really fun and hard! :D

dertom 2014-04-29 12:29

@Marcus: Thx for playing! I fixed the bug with the A-key and now the ingame instructions should appear on windows as well... still the 'restart-level'-bug to fix :D

I'm using Windows XP, and the game just crashes when I try to run it. I'd guess there might be a dll missing.

tititesouris 2014-04-30 11:21

When I start the game all I have on the screen is that red machine rotating, and I can't do anything.

Not sure if the control is realy hard or I just can't figure how it works :v The concept is nice btw :)

dertom 2014-04-30 13:23

@AtkinsSJ: Not sure about xp, at least it works on my win7.
@Titiesouris: Hmm,seems the GUI is not shown, damn.
@BlazingFanfish: Yeah, the controls might be a bit hard and might differ from mouse-settings,...not sure why I didn't implement keyboard-control (too late for this now)

Keeps crashing on my windows 7, seems like a cool concept though!

Voice sound effects FTW!!!

Fun game once I got the hang of it.

idkfawin32 2014-04-30 15:15

Takes a bit to get use to but afterwards it's fun

javifugitivo 2014-04-30 15:39

Strange, strange game, but it is playable, and has a personal touch. Good job!

soulrot 2014-04-30 15:50

A quite challending and fun game, although my right arm thinks different (somehow steering with the mouse made my arm hurt after a while o_0).

At some point the "toxic collected" counter gave a value of 199.99999/200 so I was afraid I had to restart the level, but fortunately it still registered as 200/200!

Nice job.

perfect-victim 2014-04-30 21:03

your game wont run on my win8 pc ,
to bad really wanted to try looks like a fun game .

ragzouken 2014-04-30 21:06

cool design for the main ship - liked the sounds too!

sudorossy 2014-04-30 22:31

Nice gameplay, really unique

The Toxic-Chopper is hard to control

dertom 2014-05-01 12:48

Ok, I also released a version with keyboard-control as afterjam-version! Everything else stayed the same

msaul 2014-05-01 15:21

Really hard some times that made it even funnier, i really like ship's animations. Well done !
PS : keyboard version work well and nice sounds ;)

sensenmann666 2014-05-01 20:06

wow i had to laugh at the sucking animation, funny game, well done!

moonmagic 2014-05-01 20:11

Toxic lunar lander dreams! I swoop my eggshell craft around and slorp the goo. I found the first goo the nicest: I fell precipitously into further goo and did not get to Elephant for nearly long enough. Wishing that my deaths were catastrophic and not so brusque.

kunzbe 2014-05-02 20:21

I like the idea of the player being a thing :)
One big critic: the sound effects were too loud (elvating sound, hitting-the-floor )! That's a pity because I had to turn the volume down and could not hear the well done, moody bg music anymore :(

drnick 2014-05-03 20:46

Crashes a lot.
Crashes at the end of the level so I couldn't play it entirely. Good game though. I like the graphics. The slurping animation is very good/funny. Also, nice engrish. It's always interesting to hear man-made MIC sound effects.

dustoutgames 2014-05-03 21:03

This was really hard! It's tough to pull off such a precision skills based game without it feeling unfair, and Toxic Below did a pretty solid job of it. The controls are responsive, if a bit difficult to master (I played mouse only version) and getting the timing right to hover over a spill just feels great.

pvwradtke 2014-05-04 17:02

Cool, very interesting mechanics once you get the idea.

whilefun 2014-05-05 03:19

Neat choice of mechanic, and nice graphics. I found the jam version controls really hard to use, but the game seems pretty fun. Downloading the post-jam version for later :)

jujule 2014-05-13 21:19

I like the game mechanics but when I reach the end of the first level I just see chopper spinning on itself and nothing else. Ii's stuck so I have no other chance but to quit... Too bad.

aelita1992 2014-05-15 18:25

Nice game, one of the types I really like, those fly and reach some point games :) And a really nice model of the helicopter :) I hope the game will be further developed, as it's already a succesful 'timestealer' :D

gagapete 2014-05-18 20:58

Nice challenging game. Played on Android and the controls are pretty frustrating. :)

jonathang 2014-05-19 07:36

Very good! It is challenging, but that's part of the appeal :) It did crash on my Windows 8 machine though, just after I'd collected all the waste from the level in which there are multiple pools. I do like the sound effects and the slurping animation.

Also I made a linux version of my game for you (the daring adventures of the blob)
