The arrows won't work sometimes.
Could you specify when exactly? They should be working only in the actuall game to set the direction and in the story text to go back & forth.
Ending was indeed enlightening on the theme of the game. Nice.
Great job on your game everything worked great and the idea of fighting yourself was very unique.
This is a really cool entry. It makes me happy. Its quite unique.
@seurimas @belowzerogames @cobracommander thank you guys, I'll check your games ASAP :)
Cool idea, the game worked for me just fine. As a suggestion, a bit of polish would have been nice because the high contrast was a little hard on the eyes. But still, it's a fun entry. Great job!
the whole idea and the text were really nice, i enjoyed playing this one :)
but i have to say that - eventhough it was the concept behind it - playing against yourself isn't that much fun ^^
at one point i just did nothing and waited until one dies…
@sharpcoder Thanks man :)
@remmy Some people don't figure out that they are playing against themselves. If you've noticed that before the final text, you are a mindful gamer.
Very hard on the eyes! But the "twist" at the end caught me by surprised, and I realized I didn't even notice what was going on. Very clever!
Very good! I figured out what was going on almost 3/4ths of the way in - that was a great idea that fit very well with the theme.
I'm not the biggest fan of the psychodelic mood, and the game could be a little bit faster, but I really liked what you tried to pull here overall.
Thanks for the game!
@C_Walden Thanks. I'll check out your game.
@caranha I was in a strange mood when thinking about the idea. But thanks for informing me about what should be improved :)
Seriously cool use of the theme, and very engaging art style. The game is a little bit slow - less waiting would be good.
Great looking game. Cool art style. Good job!
Wow, that was an interesting game! :D
@Zigfi Thanks for the tip. I might do a bit more polished post-compo version.
@CryoGenesis @ENDESGA Thanks guys. I'll check your games soon.
Love the art, so unique! Yeah its been said before that the gameplay was a little slow but otherwise it was interesting! Well Done!
Not bad. The twist was evident pretty early, but it was fun trying to get both the cactus and the potato to 0% at the same time.
Also, the audio didn't work for me. Not sure why.
@MrTedders Thanks :)
@kirbytails7 Are you sure you haven't accidentaly pressed M/N? Or that you just muted it somewhere? There hasn't been any audio issues reported so far, but thanks for informing me.
I like the funky aesthetics of it, the ending was interesting, glad I played it!
Really nice game.
Very innovative!
I really wasn't expecting such a good meaning behind the game at first, going in. But I started to suspect it once I noticed the minion patterns!
Love it!
@Ryan Melmoth @Tanner @ChuiGum @64Mega Thank you guys, your comments are very uplifting :)
Nice idea and cool ending! I realized what was going on quite early on which made it feel pointless to resist.
@jsmars some people realize after the first minute and others after the game ends. But thanks :)
Love your art style
Tried out your game. The visuals were too strong for me when I started (of course the whopping headache doesn't help right now).
You mentioned Box2D with respect to mine? Nope. Hand written physics engine. I don't even think I included Box2D in the project.
@Techblogogy Thanks, I'll check your game soon.
@uprightpath I though it was Box2D. Sorry for my mistake :/
Great story indeed.
Great game!
Not sure if the eye piercing colors were really necessary for the menus, but the game has a cool twist worth playing it to the end.
@Easimer @AdventureIslands Your games were rated.
The game idea is quite unique, I really liked it, if I would improve something it would be the graphics, but anyways it's good its own style. I like that.
Interesting interpretation of the theme, and the graphics and sound work together nicely.
@midgard @x1212 Thanks guys, I'll take a look at your games shortly.
I love the music, it fills the defects in design. It's a relaxing game, good job !
Unique, certainly abstract. The "attacking" mechanic did confuse me at first, but I just had to read the instructions again. Nice work.
Excellent Game! Excellent Message!
Great message. Also loved the artstyle.
I started thinking that they're the same patterns, but then I though that I saw a deviation. Are they really exactly the same?
@S0rax @sftrabbit @Cruion Thank you guys.
@sam1373 Yes, they are, only if the line is full, the minions will spawn in the opposite line.
love the fact that you are playing against yourself
Intrsting tower defence mechannics, please recheck my game I have fixed some bugs!
@modbox It's not a tower defense. Will do.
Wow! Amazing end and the music fits very well with the game idea. Also, I liked the story. I used to write stories like this a few years ago. That makes me think that I should write once again. Good work! ;)
@igoramendola Inform me when you make one :)
Interesting game. Very unique, liked the feel of it.
It's always cool to play these unique games, I didn't even notice I was playing against myself. Good job!
Unique graphic, looks interesting
Really nice theme interpretation ! I win against myself o/
The end of the game makes it a good game, but the game mechanic didn't inspire me quite a lot. That's some particular art you've got there :3
@Anshzinc @Linux123xbb @Tomker @Goutye Thanks :)
@Aomeas I've focused on the meaning more than I should. I should have devoted some of my time to the game mechanics. Thanks for the creative criticism, though :)
Unfortunately couldn't get it to run on OS X. Console says this: 8/25/14 12:45:48.570 PM gkbisd[142]: Unable to collect cdhash for /System/Library/CoreServices/Jar Launcher.app (error code 100024)
I'm guessing it's an issue on my end, but I hope that helps!
@kadybat As discussed on Twitter, some Apple variations of Java might not work (don't ask me why). Sorry about that.
Simple game with a good twist that fits really well for the theme. Thank you for your efforts. Keep up the good work. :)
this is kinda fun actually :)
Cool entry, interesting art!
(byl jsi to ty na tom polarkacově streamu, že jo? :-) )
Wow! You really got me on that one. Very good use of the theme.
Cool concept, nice interpretation of the theme, but it moves so slow. With no real changes in gameplay over time, it just feels like the game is dragging on. That may have been intentional based on the story, but it wasn't enjoyable.
The main menu/tutorials blinded me a bit. Was really hard to read the light blue text on the white background. Interesting concept, the twist at the end was pretty cool.
Love the idea, but text almost unreadable.
Very nice story :DDD the ending suprised me, I didn't even realised that
@arhpositive @capsizedmoose @leondryaso @Noah Ratcliff @MyougaHiroshi Thank you guys :)
@Empyrelhell @Rage Paint @Nuclear Napalm I know about these flaws, but now it's too late to change them :/
VERY experimental and trippin'. I understood and appreciated your idea, the gameplay is a bit slow tho.
Nice concept. I realized that something was strange after a few rounds and the ending was as i suspected :).
The game is a bit slow though, but overall, I liked your game. Good job
@(Not) Ivano Thanks. I liked your game.
@Kyoutashan Thanks much :)
That was a surprising ending :) The colors made my eyes bleed a little though :P
Graphics looks strange, but I like it.
Nice social message but gameplay and graphics are not that nice, I'm sorry. Making play fight himself is quite a good concept though.
Nice social message but gameplay and graphics are not that nice, I'm sorry. Making player fight himself is quite a good concept though.
@ViliX No worries! I wasn't surprised. Vector styled platformers aren't really most people's cups of tea and Box2D can make it easier. I just never really got into using it. :3
Pretty nice concept, a good metaphor of the mental disease.I'm not fan of the graphics, but maybe it would be possible to use real-life element in picture to return to this idea of shizophrena.
The end is interesting but it could be also strong to bring the insight to the player during the game and even make him play serioulsy against himself, but it will required more thinking and also a great gamedesign.
I follow your instruction and i was not dissappointed.
More artistic than a game, but that's great.
@commoderKid Thanks :)
@OFF Thanks, I was in a weird state when I came up with this idea.
I really like that the message here can apply to a lot of different people. It's a game about mental illness, and it speaks to a lot of different illnesses in a way that relates to the theme and is interesting to play. I too would have toned down the colors but I like it a lot.
A simple well thought out mechanic, and nicely executed. Every round made me contemplate what I SHOULD be doing. Make it easy? Make it hard? I didn't know.
@kadybat @AFlatMinerStudio Thanks, your comments are very uplifting :)
I was just about to ask in the comments "why sometimes my guys weren't created where I wanted?" and boom, after I destroyed Kingdom of Potatoes it's explained.
"Sorry if the abstract (LSD/acid) graphics hurts your eyes, but it fits to the main point." Check out my game ^^.
@fcpfoof Thanks. I've played your game already (you've got lots of stars, don't worry :))
Very solid game. Both idea and gameplay are really original and interesting. I wish only graphics wouldn't be that acid :3
Good story, well made and original. Gameplay felt somehow limited, but finishing the game was rewarding.
Nice work!
@43iscoding As I said before, I was in a strange mood :/
@thecolorhacker Thanks, pal! :)
Hey this game is really cool! The art and sound fit really well into the theme of the game. It was pretty fun to play too! I did encounter a problem that I feel kinda hurt my ability to really experience everything the game had to offer. The resolution options didn't work at all so the thing was too big for my screen. I couldn't see any of the text (just small pieces of the corners of it). Still a very cool concept. Also if you get this fixed, then I'll definitely play through the game again and see hat it says.
Ok I just saw the play-through on your channel to see the full text and WOW! That's not what I was expecting! Brilliant entry... time raise the ratings! :D
Well... that was weird.....
You know, I didn't think it would be fun. But it was. Graphics makes my eyes bleed, but I laughed at this colors like a mad man, which is plus to Humot on my scale. Idea is cool, theme connected and solid. Interesting work, one to remember
woo trippy
Multi-single-player. It's good!
@CRAZEERUSKEE I hope, that our conversation bellow the the playthrough is enough :D
@Xgor I was in a strange mood.
@Shide Thanks :) I've tried your game.
@mechabit @ninjascript Thanks :)
I really liked your game !
Obviously the end is awesome !
The graphics and the music are cool, the gameplay is maybe a little bit slow but it's ok. I didn't understand how the attack round works before reading.
Nice concept, nice game ;)
Interesting game :P I included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/NXgeb3Jk3nI
I hope someone once in a while call you asshole, because you are XD.
Joking apart, very interesting game, and the end destroyed me
Awesome!!!!!!,,,,, strange, unique and interesting proposes..... great game!!!
The audio didn't work for me on Linux, the gameplay was a bit boring, and I found the graphics a bit painful to look at, but overall I thought that the theme and the message were excellent!
Nice work on this game, hard to read the text sometimes.
Wow! The combination of color is really awesome! I dont know why but it's hypnotic
Ohh this was weird.
But wait that's the name of the game!
@Like all of you! Thank you much for your feedback!
Very original idea. The only complaint is the colors are a bit hard on the eyes...
I like your entry. Very good at theme and mood. Thank you for this game.
Really nice entry. Although I must admit I didn't notice that my own moves were being used against me later until I was explicitly told.
I don't like when games or movies, etc. end with an explanation that closes interpretation. You could write your intentios when you made the game but having everything explained like that just spoils the game and makes it a lot less mysterious.
Everything else was a very nice experience.
As I said, I was in a strange mood while making this game. Anyway, I'll check out your games :)
Good concept
