Not sure I understand the concept or what to do, but I can't stop looking at that art!

shivanhunter 2014-08-24 23:53

same here. I just kept clicking on the warp cores, wasn't really sure of what else to do. I really like the art, though! Excellent aesthetic.

mjamesshort 2014-08-25 03:00

As always, impeccable art and theme. Great job.

bobrocks 2014-08-25 03:29

I definitely feel as if I've missed something. The game is very interesting from a visual standpoint, though. I'll be interested to see what's next!

disdanes 2014-08-25 03:57

I really like the art and it was entertaining.

elliottd 2014-08-25 06:12

This is so great. everything feels great; motions, sounds, music, responsive controls. It is mysterious, I feel like I was in danger of upgrading myself to death, and what were those red and white ones that came closer when i clicked them? My confusion doesn't matter though, because the feel of the game was so good that it would be pleasurable to figure it all out in time. Love it. Good job.

rubna 2014-08-25 06:21

woah, looks/feels/sounds amazing! you should totally add a fullscreenmode ;-;. i didn't really get the gameplay though. I just kind of killed stuff and clicked the green orb to go to the next world.
...not that i disliked doing even that, though xD Nice job man!

somepx 2014-08-25 07:24

All in this game is a true expression of art, the mood, the confusion, the gameplay itself.

apiotrw 2014-08-25 08:31

Great art just the gameplay is too repetitive for me :)

ratking 2014-08-25 10:13

Looks and plays awesome!!

mrvanderpants 2014-08-25 10:20

Really liked the graphics! It's really amazing that you managed to make all the art in 17 minutes. But the music felt a little repetative, and it took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do

dickpoelen 2014-08-25 10:50

I feel like my Lama is going backwards! Super art/atmosphere, just a bit hard to tell what's going on sometimes

adventureislands 2014-08-25 11:04

Very pretty game and plays well, it's just not very clear what to actually do.

merlijnvh 2014-08-25 11:36

The game is so beautiful, I love the style and atmosphere you've created.

2hitmatt 2014-08-25 11:38

Got to world 6 - 4 or something. Love the art style. The missile launcher things on the side weren't very obvious till I obliterated everything on screen. I feel this game needed to be harder faster, then I would be hooked for ages.

Overall, an awesome game though. Still can't get over the pixels :D

chriskdev 2014-08-25 12:48

Looks promising! I will play it, as soon as I'm back on my Windows Laptop.

seagaia 2014-08-25 13:39

nice job on the procedural gen during the short timespan.

jaj 2014-08-25 15:16

Awesome! Who needs to understand it really. Let it just be what it is :D

tacospice 2014-08-25 15:23

Game likes to crash when I'm collecting.. the stuff? Like when you kill something. Speaking of which, I don't know exactly what's going on. I guess I'm just killing things and advancing. So, pretty sparse gameplay.

The game is beautiful though, sound and music fit well, and the overall mood is really nice.

I like how it says "the warp core connects us all" in between every single level, like a mantra or something.
Maybe it's minor but, it feels significant to me.
Like a hint at an overarching plot that's kind of hidden behind the scenes. I dunno.

tulevik-eu 2014-08-25 15:51

One of the better looking entries I've come across until now. Confused by the gameplay though, much like others here :)

tchem 2014-08-25 15:53

Perfect to me.... the aesthetic and atmosphere are awesome. This game is unique. really i loved it.

maddestudios 2014-08-25 15:59

I have no idea what this was and I loved it.

c023-dev 2014-08-25 17:10

Nice artwork, as usual. Also cool to have the fast red things to give the world some threat. Weapon was cool too, though I would have loved to hear it... like a tearing sound for launch and some boombastic impact sound =D ... oh and the music loop is a little short ... congrats.

alpha_rat 2014-08-25 17:36

Really great graphics ! I didn't understood what's going on, but it was fun !

dragonxvi 2014-08-25 18:24

Not... entirely sure what's going on, but the graphics are excellent!

capsizedmoose 2014-08-25 18:32

The theme and art is good as always. but there isn't really anything to do other than to click the orbs... it's not really what i would call fun... there is also some glitches including walking in space. but if you get an objective in there then maybe it'll become something much better :)

stridewide 2014-08-25 18:45

This is a cool game, but the warp crystals that end the levels were a bit harder to activate than I would have liked. I liked the music.

tomvert 2014-08-25 19:16

Well this was weird as fuck... I loved it :D

hyoga-3d 2014-08-25 20:22

Graphics are superb, very good entry.

priorblue 2014-08-25 21:29

Nice graphics and atmosphere, but i don't get the game play mechanics.

huruey 2014-08-26 03:05

Love the art. The walking animation is so characterful.

crowbeak 2014-08-26 11:04

I feel like this could be improved post-compo to be a really cool action shooting game, but right now it feels like a seed.

hempuli 2014-08-26 13:08

Really liked it! I suppose the red things should attack the player but even as it was I found the game very enjoyable and relaxing. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was the collision code for the player. Amazingly beautiful!

simplesmiler 2014-08-26 13:55

Shiny!

saintheiser 2014-08-26 17:06

Can't understand what I should to do. Just travel throught portals?

zathalos 2014-08-26 17:39

Really awesome art but lacking gameplay. I see where you were going with it though. It would be an interesting rogue-like brawler game if you added more elements. Good job.

incredible-ape 2014-08-26 20:46

Looks great and the music added a lot, but after realizing I could just click on the crystal things to go the next level I didn't really bother to move my character around at all.

I liked all the different creatures but I wasn't sure why I was shooting them. I think it would have been more interesting if there was no combat and you just explored this trippy world.

vctr_seleucos 2014-08-26 22:07

As soon as i saw a screenshoot i want to play it, really good graphics and nice music too. The problem is game mechanic, The game piques my curiosity but after a while it's boring. Also, at some point the game crashes and closes :(

lissar 2014-08-26 23:58

Gorgeous visual style! Oddly enough it made me feel like I wanted to know more about the world.

alvivar 2014-08-27 03:04

The visuals and sounds are pretty solid.

adamharte 2014-08-27 05:41

Interesting, but what am I doing> Definitely some of the nicest graphics I have seen this LD.

damrem 2014-08-27 07:57

Beautiful!

gaeel 2014-08-27 11:42

Not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be doing.
I shot things, I warped around, something slapped me, eventually the game crashed...

Looks proper neat though...

androniq 2014-08-27 18:10

You made the art in 17 minutes! It's beautiful. I'm not sure what was going on, beyond shooting the white scurrying things and avoiding the purple kangaroos(?), but I liked it.

gameproducer 2014-08-27 18:33

Very cool entry. Art was excellent. The main character Lama was beatifully animated. Well done. Fit the theme. Not sure what to say about the game mechanics: it was about shooting enemies, and gradually getting tougher.

Well done.

kevinzuhn 2014-08-27 19:43

The art is excellent, as is the game feel, I just wish there were something to do with it all!

whilefun 2014-08-28 02:13

I have no idea what I just played, but it was pretty great. Pretty well rounded and interesting. Outstanding artwork, as usual sir :)

queader 2014-08-28 09:09

This game is super cool!

ptsnoop 2014-08-28 18:59

egor-idiot 2014-08-29 08:48

Very nice mood and stylisation. I liked a lot, especially fact that art was made for 17 minutes. Very impressive. Got to 7-th world btw %)

dustystylus 2014-08-29 18:08

First comment really summed it up for me! :D Amazing art and quirky gameplay. Collision possibly seemed a bit offset, but that is being really pedantic on my part. Well done. :)

member_of_jabber_conference 2014-08-29 21:11

boring

franklins-ghost 2014-08-30 08:11

Beautiful visuals.

stevesalmond 2014-08-31 07:30

I have no idea what I just played, but I LIKE IT A LOT! (loud shouting)

sunflower 2014-09-01 15:59

The art is cool, but I had no idea what to do. Which, I guess, I'm not alone in. ^^"

ditto 2014-09-05 15:00

I have no idea what I'm doing?

snoringfrog 2014-09-05 22:38

Gorgeous game, as usual. Took me a bit to realize what the shopkeepers actually were because I wasn't watching my health at all lol. Made it to level 8-2.

runvs 2014-09-06 09:21

Some more tipps or hints would have been nice. Though graphics are excellent as well as sound. though the music tends to repeat a little bit to often.
Great Mood!

vividhelix 2014-09-07 04:53

Awesome entry, but not sure I get the gameplay - I just get to the core and then get to the next level - is there more to it? Art is amazing, kudos for getting it done in just 17 mins!

goerp 2014-09-07 13:34

Things moved, things died, things exploded, walked, made noise.
Lots of them in intruiging patterns and colors across lots and lots of worlds.

While the hupnotizing drone continued.

I like it a lot, but I don't know why :)

Jeremias 2014-09-07 13:54

Beautiful art and music but... I don't get what's the point :D

munkeebacon 2014-09-07 19:47

Maybe you should have spent 15 minutes on art instead because the functionality is pretty bad.

komiga 2014-09-13 01:03

Is 1.11 only bug fixes or was it created during the compo as well? I've been playing the first one.

Hard to see what's going on with this small resolution.

The character is able to move one whole tile outside of the ground.. in any direction. Some parts of the music do not belong. It sounds like it's part of the game world (e.g., the player taking damage or enemies chirping), but it's not. I didn't realize that until it repeated a few times when I wasn't doing anything.

I don't think I was able to find either of the shopkeepers, but I suspect the red thing that floated towards you and replicated your.. missiles was supposed to be one of them.

Overall, I'm really not sure what this thing is, nor what purpose the face-backwards character has.

apiotrw 2014-09-13 14:52

Great art but pretty unchallenging and confusing gameplay

01010111 2014-09-15 00:32

Fantastic art and audio! I love the game feel too :)

jezzamon 2014-09-15 01:21

I quite like the walking animation, even they it doesn't look like walking at all. :)

I feel like this game needs a goal, and/or an end point though.

It'd be cool if you got points for beating higher levels, and also for higher worlds. Like 1-5 might have you 25 points, 2-5 might give you 30 points, and 1-7 give you 49 points or something. So you balance between going to higher levels or losing health and starting over. Could be potential for a really fun mechanic
