The Art is nice, the difficulty is horror. :D
I averaged a survivaltime of about 20 seconds. The game does good with the fast respawn to get you in again - however starting with slightly easier levels may come a long way.
Also sometimes i got the feeling that the archer and mage didnt hit their respective enemies (spiders and ghosts)

emak 2014-08-26 12:07

very difficult, but very fun!

rothens 2014-08-26 12:31

difficult, but enjoyable

adventureislands 2014-08-26 13:05

Pretty good! Lovely audio and visuals.
I think the game might be little too brutal from the get go, the time to reach the next world portal is very, very strict.

capsizedmoose 2014-08-26 13:08

wow, this was really hard! but I enjoyed it quite a bit! thing is tho, it's impossible to survive after a portal has closed again, wich is not that fun :/

mechabit 2014-08-26 13:08

the amount of time you get to jump in a portal is way too short. I just hang around one end and hope it's the correct one. nice graphics though.

webfreak001 2014-08-26 13:08

its okay

voxel 2014-08-26 13:11

beautiful art, great music. Interesting RPS style combat, found it a little difficult to guess which weapon should be used on each enemy but maybe im just dumb :)

mechanicmoon 2014-08-26 13:11

The game is very difficult but I love it, it's fun

infectionteam 2014-08-26 13:12

I feel like the movement controls could use some sharpening up to make this more manageable and addictive. Cool concept.

simonld 2014-08-26 13:12

A fun game! Are you supposed to be able to shoot in more than one direction at the same time or is it a bug? Anyways, i enjoyed this game!

queader 2014-08-26 13:17

I like the game look but it's just way tooo difficult. You should have made some difficulty selection or something. But it's not bad. After some trying I was able to survive for quite a long time!

ratking 2014-08-26 13:17

Very good entry!

finnmacd 2014-08-26 13:18

difficult, but fun

rawbosaurx 2014-08-26 13:18

This is absolutely worth a short and intense session. It's fun, but lacks polishing(obviously, what game here doesn't).
Artwork is top notch and music really sets the right mood. Overall a pretty unique experience.

Oh yeah, and it's hard as balls!

shivur 2014-08-26 13:21

Very difficult, with some balancing this can be a fun game.

franklins-ghost 2014-08-26 13:21

Was able to survive 55 seconds. The quick restart definitely helps. Really tough game but liked the different characters mechanic.

revelorenfield 2014-08-26 13:28

As many, visually awesome, unbearable difficulty (short portal window, only 3 lives) x_x

akymos 2014-08-26 13:28

Very very difficult game. :D

artamus 2014-08-26 13:38

Nice game, congrats!

sunflower 2014-08-26 13:41

Not a fan of arrows + WSAD setup, especially in such fast-paced games like these. Also, these mechanics aren't particularly friendly to new players. ^^"

And yes, there really could be more time to enter the portal. As it is now, it's quite difficult (though still somehow managed to get 550 for orphans). >.<

bluemaroo3 2014-08-26 13:54

Fun game. I love the graphics. Soooo difficult! :D

fallingbear 2014-08-26 13:58

The art is wonderfull, but the game is way too difficult. The game itself reminds me a binding of Isac. Great job :)

arzi 2014-08-26 14:02

I really liked the art and the music, but the difficulty is just too much. It seems nearly impossible to get to the next world. Since the portal never opens twice, why not either kill the player immediately it shuts down or give another try?

cultofmonkey 2014-08-26 14:06

Juicy!

malf 2014-08-26 14:08

Arrrggg , too much dificulty!!

But a fun game nonetheless :D

tommyboys0107 2014-08-26 14:17

I like the style and art, but a little too intense.

jsmars 2014-08-26 14:24

I died very quickly and it was difficult to have time to get something on each level before having to rush to the next. Fun game tho! :) Nice job!

hyoga-3d 2014-08-26 14:45

Had a lot of difficult managing the controls, maybe you could reverse it, move on wasd and arrow to shot, for me it's more logic this way. But nice entry.

ponywolf 2014-08-26 14:52

Nice. I would have loved to play with a gamepad.... would have made the difficulty not so rough.

weaselzone 2014-08-26 15:00

I felt the controls are really experimental, couldn't really get used to using WASD to shoot, I think I would have prefered mouse aiming and shooting and WASD to move. Also I didn't understand the color coding - nice graphical style and audio!

nerd-burglars 2014-08-26 15:54

Wow! This game is really hard, but it kept me laughing (about how much I kept dying)

luduspactum 2014-08-26 16:16

Very cool game. 8)

teamquadratic 2014-08-26 16:44

Fun, but EXTREMELY difficult!

hundredhundred 2014-08-26 16:46

I like the graphics and the audio, it's quite polished as it is. The gameplay is needs some balancing, but I enjoy the frantic scrambling to the next portal while trying to face enemies, problem is the low life count making it too brutal.

arowx 2014-08-26 17:23

Nice game but really needs mouse for shoot direction.

aflatminerstudios 2014-08-26 18:05

Love the artwork but I die so fast and the portals disappear so quickly! Maybe if I had more health?

jaenis 2014-08-26 18:33

Great graphics, very difficult! It could be slightly slower at start, then player would have more time to learn controls at least :)

tinyhat 2014-08-26 18:38

MAN, this is SO HARD. I am not coordinated enough to ever get good at this game. But this is fun, well thought, and beautifully drawn.

01010111 2014-08-26 19:01

Awesome art! I had a tough time surviving and remembering which weapon killed which monster though :)

markusfisch 2014-08-26 20:45

This is really much more fun that I thought! Very good driving music! I press buttons like a idiot while smiling :)

Now I have to try that again.

honcho 2014-08-26 21:15

Art is great! SUPER HARD, barely made it to the second world. Audio is also pleasant!

pjimmy 2014-08-26 21:28

nice and very challenging

barleyarley 2014-08-26 22:15

The art style and music is fantastic, but I found the general game play a bit lacking unfortunately. It could have done with not being quite so cramped I think.

parahunter 2014-08-26 22:19

Quite good. For some reason I could not shoot to the right.

skills641 2014-08-26 23:21

Game breaks after 2 levels, you can't attack any enemies

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-27 00:08

@Skills641 Sorry about that. I've been trying to find the bug you are pointing out, but it didn't happen to me. Thanks for the report anyway.

alhvi 2014-08-27 00:42

I liked the graphics and the audio. It is a very hard game, I think the time is too short to get into the portals, and the controls are hard to get used to(I kept forgeting which ones were to move and which ones were to shoot). I like that you can change weapons and that each one has different effect on the enemies. Good Job :D

nnelgdabandit 2014-08-27 02:37

Really enjoyed the art!

luduspactum 2014-08-27 02:43

Great idea, great implementation. Fun and very polished. Congrats!

datacr4sh 2014-08-27 02:54

interesting idea but that feedback needs some tweaking :)

randomnamegenerator 2014-08-27 04:48

Not sure why I was dying even when switching worlds but fun game. Really like the artwork.

alucardx60 2014-08-27 05:13

Loved the graphics but the time you can be in each world is too short and it wasn't very clear to me why my shots weren't hitting until later. Getting used to the dual stick controls being switched was also weird. (Binding of Isaac uses WASD to move) But I really like the concept and enjoyed playing. Managed to last for 59 seconds.

chuigum 2014-08-27 05:34

Nice music, cool innovation and great job overall!

gafblizzard 2014-08-27 05:48

Nicely made but very difficult! Sometimes the portals seemed to appear too late for you to even escape.

nonentheless 2014-08-27 06:51

Nice art

zolmeister 2014-08-27 07:27

Fantastic! Crazy difficult, but well made!

syawqy 2014-08-27 07:28

the timer is too fast

crazi456 2014-08-27 07:52

Very fun game! Took a few tries to really get going, pretty difficult.

yodamaster 2014-08-27 11:39

Supercool graphics. Superuncool difficulty level.

peni6 2014-08-27 11:52

WASD and cursor keys for different controls didn't work for me as they are the same buttons on my keyboard (fn+WASD for cursors). Not left any rating as it wasn't really playable.

headmade 2014-08-27 11:58

I wish I could see which of the two portals would open so I could prepare to go there. Like this it really is a 50:50 chance of survival.
Nice graphics though.

endingchaos 2014-08-27 12:23

Hey man! Great concept. I liked the challenge.

mess110 2014-08-27 12:28

cool animation. would love to be able to shoot diagonally

alpha_rat 2014-08-27 13:02

Nice game, hard but very fun to play.
I think that if you use WASD + arrows to control, it would be more intuitive to move with wasd and shoot with arrows (or maybe I'm too much used to the binding of Isaac)
The graphics are very cool and the music is nice too

dragoninstall 2014-08-27 13:29

This game is fun but could use some balance. The teleporter always spawn behind enemies and it is a hard to get through without losing health. The way you have to get through teleporter seem more luck based. Why? Because there is just enough time to get to one side of screen. Also sometimes when you shoot (on latter level?) the bullets goes through the enemy without doing damage?
Anyway Very fun game, nice art style, good sound and concept keep it up :D.

soulgame 2014-08-27 13:32

Nice art style. It's fun to be forced to change worlds constantly while still killing a few monsters to gain time, it's actually very hard to stay alive, you have to try many times to get the hang of it. I have a small complaint about enemies' resistance. It's not clear what hero I have to use. Would have been simpler if red kill red etc. Anyway neat game, congrats.

43iscoding 2014-08-27 13:46

This game is very hard and I actually like it :)

arthurmaker 2014-08-27 14:34

Nice game, 6.5/10

spitfire87 2014-08-27 14:49

Name fits, you broke game balance :D . It is unreasonable hard. It is still fun and well done.

dix 2014-08-27 15:09

Very cute game, but it is impossible to play D:
once i died cause i couldnt reach a portal that opened just 1s before...and if you miss the first portal you don't get a second chance cause you stayed too much on that world D:
I liked it, but it didn't like me apparently :c

perecil 2014-08-27 15:31

Overall nice concept, but like other said, it's really too hard...

vctr_seleucos 2014-08-27 15:32

Really cute graphics and nice overall, but also hard as hell game xD it's also difficult for me 'cause I'm used to Binding of Isaac controls (WASD move, Arrows shoot), the opposite. Nice work!

lasagnegames 2014-08-27 15:46

that was very good! polished and fun good job!

jiyambi 2014-08-27 17:34

Awesome art, it's way too hard for me though :D Controls are pretty difficult to get used to, would be nice to use mouse to aim. Anyway, great job!

rocketship 2014-08-27 18:02

Art and sounds are amazing, the game is very polished. However I'd like the timer to be a bit more forgiving because right now the game just feels like waiting for the portal and running to the portal, not so much about strategy with the weapons and such.

myougahiroshi 2014-08-27 18:29

Very good game :D I enjoyed it so much but I don't know why is "I Think I Broke Something" the game's name :D

dragonxvi 2014-08-27 18:53

Hmm, was it me or was there a bug where the archer wasn't hitting the bats? Ended up dying because of it. Interesting little idea though, very fast paced & great art style & sound!

snoutup 2014-08-27 21:21

Great looking and polished game! The portals closing too soon combined with "don't stay for too long" mechanic was a bit frustrating, tho.

metalchouchen 2014-08-27 23:36

Nice game! Congrats! I specially like graphics.

zkenshin 2014-08-28 01:11

Neat idea, difficult though.
Nice job (:

donaldducky 2014-08-28 01:59

Too hard to keep playing, but great graphics.

miziziziz 2014-08-28 02:02

It's good a well-playable game.
However, I found the controls confusing: I'm used to using WASD to move, so I kept accidently attacking instead of moving. If you could have an option to switch this, that would be great.
Also, sometimes portals wouldn't appear until the last second, so it was pure luck that I would be at the right one before time runs out.
Other than those two things, it was really nice, good graphics, sounds, and gameplay

ragepaint 2014-08-28 02:27

Nice fast paced game with a nice art style. A bit hard but enjoyed it :)

georgebroussard 2014-08-28 05:04

Great entry overall. Loved the art and music. Had difficulty understanding about the timer and why it ran out. I jumped through portals as soon as I could. Only made it maybe 5 worlds in? Good effort though. Very polished.

ghostinthesoft 2014-08-28 06:14

Nice entry but very difficult, you should let more time to swap worlds and there is too much enemies too

vividhelix 2014-08-28 10:08

Great entry, but felt a bit too difficult.

mintarcade 2014-08-28 10:18

Difficulty is off the chart, can't hold for longer than 15 sec, but graphics are cool, but no time to appreciate it.

appocket 2014-08-28 11:56

Nice work, shooting via mouse would be cool it is a bit hard to control

joshk 2014-08-28 13:26

nice game, maybe a little too difficult.

ninjascript 2014-08-28 14:41

Holy crap that's hard! The portals close a little too quick for me but I really like the graphics and sound. Well done!

reverend-speed 2014-08-28 15:50

I'll quote Fumiko, "The Art is nice, the difficulty is horror. :D " =) Lovely art and sound, punishing gameplay - but it's a great idea! With a smoother difficulty curve (and a slightly better introduction to the concepts), I could definitely play more. Great work for three days!

dunin 2014-08-28 16:20

controls are weird and difficulty too hard too fast.
Funny music (even I could only hear the first notes...)

_rilem 2014-08-28 19:52

I like the idea, the game is very fun to play but crazy difficult :P

esayitch 2014-08-28 20:24

Very difficult, I think this would be awesome if the character's movement was more controlled and it had more friction.

I loved the graphics and the soundtrack/sfx were pretty stylish too. Good job! The theme could have featured more heavily though. Good luck!

merlijnvh 2014-08-28 20:38

Very cool game! I like the art and gameplay mechanic a lot, even if it was pretty hard. Great entry!

naytron 2014-08-28 20:41

Very addictive game! Really simple to play but hard to stop trying to better your time! Great art and music, really impressive entry!!

frr171 2014-08-29 06:36

Pretty fun shooter - one thing is that WASD and Arrows should definitely be swapped (like Binding of Isaac style controls).

h1s2 2014-08-29 08:54

It is very addictive. At the end I only got about 30seconds ^^It is really tough to master. Good job.

commodorekid 2014-08-29 14:11

It's a really fast and fun but repetitive game. Might be a good mobile game if you would like to release.

piscythe 2014-08-29 16:40

I liked the graphical style, and the gameplay had a good structure, but I found that survival often came down to a coin flip of whether the portal that opened was the one you were near. I also found myself wishing for a diagonal shot.

jod 2014-08-29 16:40

Switch shooting to arrows and movement to WASD and I think it'd be a much more pleasing experience :).

jukimv1986 2014-08-29 18:13

Aaaah it was a very stressful and challenging experience, yet not frustrating as I was playing in an instant again. Fun experience, would be great to be able to play in a larger map and have more room to move though. Great work!!

lkr 2014-08-29 18:46

Difficult but fun!

Love the visuals and character/world variety, and the fast paced gameplay. I wish there was a bit more time to reach a portal though. If I was on the wrong side when it opened, I'd rarely reach it :(

Thumbs up!

badlydrawnrod 2014-08-29 19:39

Rather difficult, but I like the graphics. Luckily orphans don't rely on my game playing skills to survive.

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-29 20:12

@badlydrawnrod :D

dustystylus 2014-08-29 20:31

Wow, pretty hectic! Great graphics and music. One for the young'uns though, I'm am too old and too slow. :(

puppetmaster 2014-08-29 23:27

+ Art
+ music
- world switch to fast

ehtd 2014-08-30 01:16

Excellent graphics

pansapiens 2014-08-30 06:30

Quite good fun - pretty punishing until you get used to jumping in portals whenever you get the chance. I could just be me, but I'd prefer if the shoot/move controls were switched, since after playing various FPSs my brain is hardwired to move with WASD - I had to swap hands so my arms were crossed ! Gamepad support (left stick move, right stick shoot) would be great for this too.
(Twitch streamed here: http://www.twitch.tv/omgwtfgames/c/5029045 ~38 min)

eruiz00 2014-08-30 09:31

Although there are _many_ similarities, iT SEEMS better than mine, with some concept changes. Good done!!!

beardaneerz 2014-08-30 10:36

Cool game !! Nice graphics and gameplay.

hb3p8 2014-08-30 11:40

Nice art and style! I really enjoy gameplay and concept, but difficulty is very high(may be its a plus:) ).

dickpoelen 2014-08-30 15:28

Nice game. I feel the timer might be up a bit quick though

jimmypaulin 2014-08-30 15:57

Incredible artwork backed up by a solid gameplay experience! A bit confusing, would have liked some more help up front but I picked it up eventually. Some music would have been a nice addition here as would some gibs or whatever when you unleash furry with your various characters. Seriously though, polish drips from this

sonicspeed53 2014-08-30 20:53

Pretty hard, it's still kinda fun though! Good work!

synchingfeeling 2014-08-30 20:57

Awesome game, brutally difficult. Think I died more from not camping on the warps than through any enemy skullduggery.

gameproducer 2014-08-31 14:08

Awesome entry! I had trouble with shooting ASDW, but somehow managed. I would have liked mouse control instead - or something else (maybe shooting with one button and shooting to direction of travel).

...but that would have ruined one aspect of the game which clearly was about handling controls, remembering to press SPACE... and so on.

Nice gfx. Good gameplay. Theme fit the LD. Amazing job in just 72 hours. One of the most enjoyable jam entries I've tested so far.

albertosm 2014-08-31 20:56

Nice artwork! The game is really chaotic and just puts you in the spot with little room to react. The game has several rules to follow (dont stay in one world too long, only one kind of attack will affect the enemies,etc) but you won't be able to get a grasp of it until the 5th time you try it.

kortuga98 2014-08-31 23:04

The different weapon mechanic was a bit confusing and there's definitely not enough time to get to the portal when it shows up, but I thought it was a nice concept. The combat would be a lot better if shooting were mouse controlled though.

kate-kligman 2014-09-01 00:44

That was tough! Love the graphics.

william_edwards 2014-09-01 07:02

+graphics

Pretty, but pretty small and pretty damn difficult!

spotco 2014-09-02 04:31

Very original art style, gameplay could have used a little tuning though. Some of the enemies had bullets fly right through them.

maesk 2014-09-02 12:29

Nice idea and art, but too difficult at the beginning. It takes time to master the controls correctly and survive more than seconds :P Great work.

renatopp 2014-09-02 13:01

It have a great visual, one of the bests so far. You guys could provide more information about the game in this page. The game is kinda frustrating, because you rely on your kill to survive and kill the monsters but the portal mechanics is basically randomly, if you aren't in the right side of the screen you lose. Great job anyway.

lowcade 2014-09-02 15:18

Fun and difficult. I like the vector art style.

twintrite 2014-09-03 12:26

Looks good and plays fun but like everyone said, very difficult (but I guess I didn't get the whole concept yet). My survival time is around 21 seconds :)

gladers 2014-09-03 14:01

Good looking game, very difficult. A difficulty fix wouldnt be against the ludum dare rules i dont think.

gametery 2014-09-03 21:35

Very hard indeed, nice music + great graphics !

otrorainteractivo 2014-09-03 21:55

I uploaded a new version with some difficulty fixes. You can try it in the post-jam version

retr0spectrum 2014-09-05 20:04

Great audio and graphics, but I thought that it was too difficult, and I didn't really like the time limit in each world.

paperblurt 2014-09-07 19:32

The three guys remind me of the Power Puff Girls.
Good and simple gameplay!

otrorainteractivo 2014-09-07 23:02

@PaperBlurt haha best comment ever

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-08 02:54

Fun game. I included it in part 22 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/_5a2Oj9U9sk

phocker 2014-09-09 04:09

I really enjoyed this, even tho it was a bit tuff. On my play again list. Thanks.

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-09-09 07:10

Fun little game but controls may be broken because most of the time I couldn't move diagonally. It wasn't also very clear which hero I got to use to defeat a given type of enemy. Thought it was color related but apparently not.
Aside from that a solid entry, fun and addictive!

snicklodocus 2014-09-09 20:21

This was cool! Loved the art style. Gameplay was fun, though I think an easier learning level would have been nice. Also, it never seemed to let me move diagonally which was strange. But I enjoyed it!

apiotrw 2014-09-13 16:18

Pretty high difficulty but that aside a really good entry

transmit 2014-09-15 12:03

Extremely difficult, but it looks great, and a pretty fun. I managed to survive 49 seconds. I didn't quite feel like my attacks were hurting the enemies.
