Great Mood, reminded me of teleglitch a lot. The game is simultaneously both too hard and too easy though - it's like super easy thoughtless until I barely mess up and then have to do the whole level over.

Great game, love the mood and feel. You can get past almost everything by just spamming the attack, and at some points even knife enemies through walls. (Windows version works :P)

I loved the spooky sound and the shader effect :)

Fantastic atmosphere! I really like the restrained, minimalist approach to your design choices. One thing I personally felt was slightly awkward was the motion control. I feel that it may have been better to map the motions to respond to the direction that the character is facing, as opposed to the 4 compass directions. Kudos.

Incredible mood. The game play was strange though. I often felt that the only reason I died was because I could not click fast enough. The story was very provocative. It was a nice mix of mystery content to gameplay content.

Amazing mood / athmosphere. Love it ! As said in description, it's a little bit buggy with the collision detection, but nice game anyway.

matthew-rayfield 2015-04-20 05:38

I dig it. Cool look and feel. Quite challenging game play

shixtan 2015-04-20 05:44

I love the mood in this. Audio just works.

oadt 2015-04-20 05:44

Great mood! Audio and Graphics fits perfect together (I really like this soft screen shaking)
Multiple lifes would be pleasant, but it already makes fun (windows version works)

okacat 2015-04-20 05:52

Really liked it, great atmosphere. The controls have the same precise quality as in Hotline Miami. The glitchy screen shader fit so well too.

Good game. Invaded ship mood is perfectly transferred.

tomdeal 2015-04-20 06:07

Nice Entry. I really like the mood, though the gameplay lacks a bit in depth.

rnlf 2015-04-20 08:41

Cool atmosphere. It does indeed remind me of teleglitch! The mood is really dark. Good job!

marccspro 2015-04-20 08:58

I really like the mood of this game ! Well Done ;)

thegamefather 2015-04-20 09:40

Nice game, the topdown view and fast pace gameplay reminds me of Hot Line Miami! I also like the way the story is told, nice try!

anikki 2015-04-20 09:57

Very nice mood.

hunttis 2015-04-20 10:10

The sound and the filter set up the atmosphere nicely. I also liked that you had a bit of a story to go beside the game. I died a lot because I couldn't click fast enough, which was strange, but I guess that was why I died a lot in Hotline Miami, too.

bastienre4 2015-04-20 12:17

Cool, awesome mood. Audio is also really good and fits perfectly the game.

flygamer101 2015-04-20 14:07

Nice fun little game, loved the graphics, and the simple feel made it even better. You've managed to find the balance between perfect gameplay and simple graphics.

dkoding 2015-04-20 15:10

I was looking forward to playing this but got errors trying to unzip?

dkoding 2015-04-20 15:10

Oh, by the way I was downloading the windows version

dkoding 2015-04-20 15:11

....aaaaanyway please rate my game at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=16225

runedrake 2015-04-20 15:13

Great! the mood is amazing

donan 2015-04-20 15:21

Nice entry. Love the asthetic and the idea :D

swipefaststudios 2015-04-20 17:16

Very cool level design and text! How did you get the love2d camera to work? I couldn't figure it out for my game. Cool still!

havacore 2015-04-20 17:40

I liked the tone of the game, the graphics with the audio matched really well. Felt a lot like Hotline Miami, which is what you were going for so good on you!

hectate 2015-04-20 19:52

Very moody, and I agree, it's both easy and hard. Easy to die and easy to kill. Great feel to it though.

jaredsartin 2015-04-20 21:35

The art is pretty sweet. There needs to be a bit more balancing, but great start!

wow 2015-04-20 22:35

Nice work, felt a little bit too simple at times, but I liked the story.

cgmorton 2015-04-21 03:30

Haha you weren't kidding about the collision bugs.

I discovered halfway through that you can attack through walls, which became my goto strategy. Might want to fix that in the next version.

Anyway, loved the game, loved the tension, didn't really understand the story but whatevs. :)

peterkirk 2015-04-21 12:38

Minimalist visuals with just enough of everything needed to create a fantastic mood. The game play was simple and the timing for the attack got a bit to get used to. The difficulty dropped somewhat when I realised I could attack through the walls.

drauthius 2015-04-23 20:21

Very nice game! I really like the audio. It distorted my friends voice over TeamSpeak, which was very cool. :)
As you said, there are a few glitches and the AI doesn't see you if you stand in the door, but nevertheless it is a great minimalistic game with a massive atmosphere. I'm not sure if a pen knife is really that unconventional, but it's great anyway.

josefnpat 2015-04-24 05:26

Honestly a really solid entry! Simple and fun!

Concentrate on cleaning up the controls (e.g. allow fast forward of cut-scenes, click instead of return, etc)

Also a tip: don't set to full screen unless you're going to test if the res is available. It messes up my X11 on linux, and I had to disable it in the conf :)

Loved the shader, well done!

jupiter_hadley 2015-05-11 15:23

Really neat feel to the game! I enjoyed it. I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/eqkTJc6zIls
