Cool concept, if somewhat stressful. It took me a while to figure out what exactly I was supposed to do, but it was pretty fun to try and redirect things where they need to go.

bealke 2014-08-25 05:38

Really cute! I love bunnies <3

The game itself could get surprisingly hectic at times! I quite enjoyed this :)

gnerkus 2014-08-25 05:50

@CogentInvalid @Weaver Thank you for trying it out. I bumped up the difficulty a bit towards the end because I thought it was too easy *facepalm*. I'll adjust it.

mrjordan 2014-08-25 06:47

Awesome!

d__adee 2014-08-25 08:38

hehe, you like to play around this idea a lot :) It's cool. I love the graphics, and that music! O___O

matthias_zarzecki 2014-08-25 16:30

This is lovely! The idea is also good, I haven't seen something like this before

gnerkus 2014-08-25 19:38

@ploogle Thank you. I'm sorry I haven't played your game yet.

gnerkus 2014-08-25 19:40

@d__adee Thank you very much! I want to beat the mechanic to death this year. Next year I'll create a new one.

@matthias_zarzecki Thank you! I feel inspired to raise the strangeness of my games a notch.

Hi, the blue flame haunts me even if i did not kill any bunny

pjimmy 2014-08-27 15:03

great game

nerd-burglars 2014-08-27 15:06

This was a very strange game. lol. It was fun to play tho. I liked the animations and the seriousness of the music. Good luck :)

androniq 2014-08-27 18:26

Great idea and a fun unique game. I didn't realise you could eat the ghosts too at first.

lkr 2014-08-27 18:51

Cute visuals and concept. It got pretty hectic with a lot of objects moving around, and having to direct the right ones where I wanted them to go :)

gnerkus 2014-08-27 22:40

@fallingBear There's at least one flame per level. I was trying to balance the game. Thanks you for playing.
@pjimmy Thanks.
@nerd burglars Thank you so much! I wanted the game to be strange.
@ElectricSeagull I forgot to mention that in the instructions. The flames reduce your karma.
@ikr Thank you. I guess I made the game too difficult. I'll fix that after the voting ends.

Love the sound when you eat bunnies. I found the trick to be as simple as trapping the bunnies in an endless loop and letting my guy chase the carrots. Also not sure how the theme plays into this one. Solid entry!

aortastudios 2014-08-28 09:15

Cool idea! I found it pretty difficult, but it was fun! Nice submission, keep it up

hb3p8 2014-08-28 13:44

Unusual and addictive gameplay. Very suitable for smartphone. Nice job!

royvanrijn 2014-08-28 20:59

Awww, I killed bunnies but didn't want to...

egor-idiot 2014-08-29 14:23

I like the idea. Logical and skill game.

jod 2014-08-29 16:38

That was kinda cool! Who knew the spirits of eaten bunnies could be so vicious?

keymaster 2014-08-29 19:58

A bit confusing due to the level swap, but once I figured it out quite nice! Also cute graphics and good music!

jimmypaulin 2014-08-30 14:37

Hilarious game! Haha! I loved the sound and music, really set a superb tone for the game. I loved how the tinkly piano was then corrupted by the dark charing sound when the rabbit's rabbit ghost came for revenge. "tasty!". Took me a couple of goes to work out which was me ;)

joseadrian 2014-08-30 19:53

Those rabbits are funny and kyute. Nice music! Well done!

gameproducer 2014-08-31 13:51

Difficult!

Cleverly built game mechanics, and could be expanded to various directions. Liked the bunny gfx. I started wondering if there was some other way to display arrows. For example arrows that point down would be "blue", arrows that point up would be black, etc. I'm not sure if that would have been messy, but perhaps could have given me more info where the arrow is pointing.

Or maybe animating them ... or something like that.

Also, I would start with a smaller grid & slower bunnies first, and then later added more grids and faster speed.

Anyhow, well done!

gnerkus 2014-08-31 15:34

@sandbaydev Thank you!

bmacintosh 2014-08-31 15:57

Cool! I got an error that locked the game at one point: "Cannot read property 'map' of undefined (game.js:908)" on Chrome

gnerkus 2014-08-31 17:02

@BMacIntosh Thank you. The error must have occurred after the second night scene. I'm very sorry about that.

diningphilosopher 2014-08-31 19:49

Awesome, a Nigerian (?) game! (Found it through "Connecting LD30 to the Real World" by Will Edwards).

Cool style, in the opening screen already with the icons. It reminds me a lot of some ~20 year old games I used to play on the Mac.

I think the gameplay could get a little more complex (maybe it does, but the game froze on level 3 or something), and random appearances don't feel very fair.

shide 2014-09-01 09:02

Cool game, but on level two sound is very annoying.
By the way, interesting concept

gnerkus 2014-09-01 09:11

@Shide Thanks. I'm sorry for the annoying music. The track from the first level overlaps that of the second level.

sunflower 2014-09-01 17:01

Interesting concept, though a bit hard to control. Gave up after a while... ^^"

kingbolonzo 2014-09-01 21:00

Nice work needs a little tlc but would be an amazing android game with a little polish

jukimv1986 2014-09-02 03:15

Cute graphics and audio! Nice change of worlds and interesting mechanics. Well done!

kirbytails7 2014-09-02 07:30

Heh, pretty fun.
Note: The game crashed on me with "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined (game.js:908)"

andymar 2014-09-02 12:00

Simple yet sweet, and the speed makes it hard enough to want to keep playing. Well done!

dohan 2014-09-03 20:24

The game froze in the third or fourth "night". Other than that, I really like the puzzle and the rabbits are really cute nibbling their carrots.

chuigum 2014-09-06 00:48

Very original, nice graphics and music. Good job overall!

tkia_ 2014-09-06 13:49

Quirky, cool idea, even kind of unsettling,in a good way... The music really helped set the mood, both tracks XD

local-minimum 2014-09-08 17:29

I like the premise, but I think it would do better with the arrows being turnable in both directions, having the creatures start in more varied locations and most of all having the arrows shift orientation at will every so often. Now I just locked the cute and the evil on a row and had my self trapped between a pair or -> <- while feeding on the carrots.
The music was really good, and it was easy enough to understand how to play.

whalebot 2014-09-10 00:15

Stupid bunnies... go where I want you to go! Nice job :)

martim00 2014-09-11 01:21

cool game! Reminds me of atari games. Also, the music is great!

ragepaint 2014-09-13 21:58

Nice little game. I tended to have things just go left and right till I figured out where I wanted them to go :)

skiddings 2014-09-14 00:38

Cute but it crashed after changing level a few times.

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-14 23:20

Cute game! I included it in part 26 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/hvOt_bkuFkM
