Wow, that's a lot of levels for 48 hours, good job man. I didn't beat it yet but I wil
Very well executed, love the game. Congratulations!
Huh, I'm stuck in #8 but I guess that's me being stupid, gonna try again :)
NVM i got it :)
Very nice game BTW!
I'm now back safe at home.
Everything was straightforward until the 16th where I felt a difficulty peak.
In the 19th I've finished the level without using the flame in a quite easy way, then the PNJ told me that every powaa isn't needed at the 20th :)
The 21st gives me hard time, it took me time to understand what to scarified.
Great puzzle game. It doesn't feel like a long tutorial.
Difficulty is well balanced, and even if 25 levels are a lot for 48hours the addictiveness reclaims more :D
Graphics are cured (those particles are almost a signature), and the audio is of quality (even if I muted the song for some levels).
Great game, remind me adventure of lolo :)
levels are very well designed and the game perfectly fit the theme.
my favorite entry so far !
Perfect execution! I wish i could polish my game like that in 48h!
And the game was fun to play althoug igot stuck around level 10
Everything is great about this game. Can't even imagine you managed to do that in 48 hours
This game is a lot of fun. Needs a level restart feature. Take level 5 for instance. Drop the pillar and transporter in random locations, and you're in a loop if they aren't in the right spot. No way to reset so you have to start over. Could be not fun at higher levels.
Excellent puzzle, good job :) I'm still amazed by the quality of the art & sound! What tool did you use to create the music?
@YopSolo: yes, Lolo was a good inspiration although I tried to innovate with new mecanisms
@Stan : use the "Esc" key to restart the level when you're stuck
@deepnight : music was a nightmare ! Took me 4 hours. After trying and (again) failing at compo, I tried many different methods and finally combined a customized SoundHelix with a GXSCC pass to turn the MIDI into chiptune (http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-SanJose/8700/P/GsorigE.htm) and many many (too much) editing.
Fun game and an interesting idea! It could do with a tutorial or controls spelled out on the web page. :-)
Lovely effects.
Excellent game! A lot of fun, and very good puzzles!
Wow! The level design is brilliant and fantastic!!! I think it will be better to save the player progress or has a levels selection view. ^_^
Very challenging and excellent puzzles. I've felt some of the levels in the middle to be harder than the last ones, but in general it's also very well balanced.
Also, how everything animates once you get all the hearts is really cute!
Hey ! super nice lolo-like, SO much better than my first attempt with jamajama on frutiparc :) I'm currently blocked on lvl 10 but want to come back to it. Fun facts : I never spoke to the old dude until lvl6 where I was stuck. And the guys answered me he could not help :-/.
I also had hard time with fireball because I thought it was fire on contacts ( you can use it like this until very late level ) So maybe adding one level when you force player to use from a distance in the first levels would help for a final version. Nice sprites and anims :D Next step is the death anim instead of this meh splash anim !
Congrats !
Can't believe I didn't think of that ncannasse probably because sometimes it restarts on its own esp when you die,. (I'm not the brightest crayon. Now that I can go further think of this in a whole new light. +1 for "You're still my friend right?"
Oh ! and your tower miss a shadow dark green pixel at the base on the left :-P
Very nice game again.
Awesome game!
Lots of brillant challenging puzzles, I really liked the tutorial guy too. :p
Took me (and bloo) some time to finish it, but being in competition with each other helped a lot! Great (and quite hard) puzzle game!
cute game, good job. Powa? :D
This game is really solid in all areas, but especially level design. If I have one gripe, it's that I think the movement is too slow for the amount of walking you have to do. But that's a minor complaint, and the game is wonderful.
Very good game. Great puzzles and style.
Nice game, congrats!
"Click to start" I clicked everywhere but nothing happens. Seems I'm the only one who got this problem :/
(I'm on windows 8.1)
Game finished :)
I have no idea how long I played it.
Your pixel art is very nice, the puzzle are funs!
As a big casual gamer, i wish i had some more explanations at the begining about the gameplay, maybe if the PNJ comes to you to have a chat with you could be great, i didn' spoke to him for 3 or 4 levels :p
But holy crap, nice entry :)
What a great puzzle game! I like how it looks simple, but then you just sit on the level for, like, 5 minutes trying to find a solution that is so obvious (yes, level #8, I'm looking at you) you just feel yourself dumb. :D
Great job on it. :)
Finished! Took me more than an hour to beat. Lots of well-designed puzzles, that's incredible.
Great, amazing amount of content, great work!
Very interesting, good job.
Its amazing that you have so many levels with good level design from such a short time.
COOL! I MADE IT TO THE MOON!! -- Only bad thing about the game was the birds in the opening and closing scenes -- they sound like nails on chalkboard -- everything else was spectacular. Good job man!
Oh yeah, as others have said (and i was thinking it but forgot to type it): Reminds me a *lot* of the Adventures of Lolo series on NES. Still, super fucking cool, yo. :-)
Here's a fun screenshot I threw together on the boomba level: https://i.imgur.com/S7y6oKU.png
Fun Puzzler. Well done. Also so many well designed Levels. This is really great
a good puzzle and an impressive entry
Wow! Really awesome. One of the best entries that I have played on LD30 so far. Good graphics, music, gameplay, challenge, etc... well, an excellent work!
Oh, and I finished it :D
Huge amount of good content!
Thank you for all the comments so far. I spent most of my time on level design this time and it seems it paid off :) enjoy the game !
Awesome graphics and innovation. Great job!
Nice job. Whith the number of levels, the smooth difficutly curve, and the little effects here and there this entry feels really 'pro'
The music is a bit repetitive though, and I wish the character wouldn't move when I just want it to face another direction
Magical. Finishing the game gives you a very special feeling like you've been to the other dimension. The last time I had such an impression was beating Braid.
Great little game - love the graphics style!
Very well polished for 48 hours, great job! Really liked art style and music. Puzzle design was great, a bit hard though :)
nice graphics and animation! really polished feeling
I searched for this game because to see what did the creator of haxe do xP, but after playing, I see that I still have some way to go. Nice game for such a short time! :)
The music was a bit repetitive, but graphics and the game was well balanced: few mechanics, which when combined well made a fun full game. The black monsters which only died to the pink areas were a nemesis!
See you next LD!
Great game, awesome mechanic. I love the graphics and how everyone starts dancing once you collected all the hearts (except poor explanation guy).
Hi, here's some feedbacks.
What I liked :
- almost everything, but in particular
- realization is excellent (no heavy bugs, reactive and intuitive play, dynamic curve for a puzzle game)
- puzzles variety and difficulty, not being boring
- audio, not exceptionnal but good enough
- playing time, there is really stuff to discover !
What Imo could be improved :
- almost everything as well, in particular
- a small lack of innovation (very classic approach of the theme and of the gameplay)
- flashy colors are a little eye agressive
- transition between the levels is a bit long
Overall a smooth and pleasant exprience with no repellent points. Thanks for the game !
Really good job. Just awesome.
The puzzles are fun and engaging, but after a while they get a bit tiring. Nevertheless it feels very complete and its a very solid entry.
Really enjoying the puzzles so far - haven't clocked the game yet, though :) Amazing how complete the game feels for just 48 hours work.
Wow, that are a lot of levels. Managed to beat it within 40 minutes.
The level design is really great, and I like the animations when you have collected all hearts.
Really nice game for a compo entry (puts mine to shame :P). Not a lot I can criticize about this other than the logic governing the bombs didn't entirely feel consistent.
Nice game, well polished
LOVE IT!!! Awesome job for 48 hours, great story, visuals, audio, gameplay, ... Amazing!
Wow. That took over an hour to play through (with some small breaks). How did you make this much content in 48 hours? Incredibly impressive.
One of my favorite entries. Gameplay is clever, always fair, and very challenging without being frustrating. Really good mechanics that work well together.
Fantastic entry.
