Very cool use of the theme and a great game overall.

Awesome game!

taylor-smithgg 2015-04-20 03:56

Great game concept. It feels very polished and well thought out. Controls can be a pain, and the abilities disappearing at the least convenient times feels clunky. Otherwise, awesome job.

vicious_br 2015-04-20 04:07

Yes, taylor.smithgg, I designed for the player to be fast at times

crazyal02 2015-04-20 04:09

Fantastic game! It was obvious while playing that the mechanics and levels were very well thought out. My only real issue was with the controls, which were a bit unresponsive at times (particularly when jumping across pits).

zqmony 2015-04-20 05:12

Nice concept. The game feels very polished.

huminaboz 2015-04-20 05:14

Fun to play and good pacing to introduce mechanics. Not sure about theme alignment.

link seems broken

kedume 2015-04-20 16:08

Nice job. I love the graphics. I love this kind of puzzle games.

vicious_br 2015-04-20 16:13

MattV, its all right.
For everyone else, thanks for the feedback

longshorts 2015-04-20 17:38

Very smart puzzle game. Great mechanics and I really enjoyed the music.

drakekin 2015-04-20 18:45

Great idea and a lot of fun. Although the fly ability being the only one to disappear is annoying.

stephan_h 2015-04-20 20:11

Great walk animation.
Well done game.

ccglp 2015-04-20 20:15

This is good, the music is good, the gameplay is good, and the take on the theme is original. I will say this is a good game, the mechanic of take the enemy abilities is interesting, good work!

colludium 2015-04-20 22:10

I loved the game-play and excellent music - very effective! Not sure about the theme, but it was good fun anyway! Well done!

kronics 2015-04-20 22:50

Wow!! This game has really awesome graphics and music, and I really like the idea.

nicklink483 2015-04-20 22:51

Very polished and great player control. Loved the music also. Great work!

jojov69 2015-04-20 22:52

Nice!

uvwar 2015-04-20 23:02

very cool, a little confusing at first but once all the elements are in play things go pretty smoothly. If you keep polishing it and you'd have a nice game!

vicious_br 2015-04-21 01:56

uvwar, tku for your feedback.

fabraz 2015-04-21 17:59

Doesn't quite hit the theme of the ludum dare but its well executed on its own.

kyyrma 2015-04-21 18:01

Really fun gameplay mechanic with stealing enemy skills. Great way to integrate instructions in the game as well. A very polished and fun entry, especially for the time limit. Also you understood the theme just right!

scumbly 2015-04-21 18:07

Easily one of my favorites! Great job.

zayron 2015-04-21 19:21

Fun game. I enjoyed the game mechanics. :)

robotic-brain 2015-04-21 19:34

Exceptional game!
The only complaint I have, is the fly ability disappearing...

nibblebitsstudio 2015-04-21 19:39

Awesome game and use of the theme! Really fun to play and great use of tutorials in game. Makes very easy to learn.

knarf2011 2015-04-22 01:38

Very fun and original! The concept of gaining your movement by destroying monsters lends itself to some interesting puzzles. One or two jumps were a bit tricky, but over all it was very well-polished.

phi 2015-04-22 12:20

The idea of gaining abilities is great, but this implementation is kind of frustrating sometimes. It's less about the thinking process than about getting the player to move the way you want him to. Otherwise, nice visuals, great music, good level design. Nice work!

vicious_br 2015-04-22 12:45

Yes, phi. I was inspired in the game 'Clause'. In that game there is only one way to solve the puzzles. 'Cut the hope' too. I admit it's frustrating, but the challenge is motivating =D. Thank you for your feedback, I'll think how to improve the game experience.

jmborden 2015-04-22 17:41

Fun game! I also enjoyed the electronica music. I also appreciate the fact it is a HTML5 game. The enemies with the walking power-ups remind of Blubba from Bubble Bobble.

geckoo1337 2015-04-23 04:29

Nice game with a minimalist aesthetic. I liked it. Neat ++

jpdev 2015-04-23 04:39

I like the idea of stealing the powers of the enemies.
Also very cool background music!

I would have voted for "space" as an alternative to the mouse button. (I have to admit, it took me a second to even regocnice what "LB to shoot" was meaning.)

cdgugler 2015-04-23 05:02

Very well put together game. I enjoyed it.

embalaje 2015-04-23 07:26

Cool entry!
Nice aesthetics and really well thought-out the puzzles.
And the music is also very good.

sience 2015-04-23 11:55

To adapt the abilities of the enemies is great. It could be more puzzle like, but for Compo this is a great achievement. The music is stunning 5/5. Love it.

red_fan-games 2015-04-23 22:41

Music is soo tactical! :) It complements the game really well. THe mechanics are rock solid too. 1000/10 IGN

phi6 2015-04-27 11:23

Really enjoying this game, collecting abilities is a cool mechanic. And really clever use of coloured blocks for graphics, certainly looks striking and good use of your time spent doing art!

curial 2015-04-28 08:02

This game reminds me Out there somewhere, I liked the tutorial and level design, though sometimens it feel too scripted. I would suggest to add some visual message to the main character when he cannot move (dunno, a cage, shocking rays, or character on his knees...). As a player, you don't like not to move and expect a good reason that justify this.

Hey, and great backgound music I would like to add som of this on my game!

12pechasofsouls 2015-04-28 11:41

Nice graphics. Puzzles are awesome and the mechanics are great and you have implented them in a correct way.
One of the best games I've played this LD

unconventionalfusion 2015-04-28 18:45

Cool game! I really like the music.

ztiromoritz 2015-04-29 18:35

That was fun!

flannelvindicate 2015-04-30 16:01

Pssst! You are in todays Ludum Dare to Believe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysM6emYb6ZM

zatyka 2015-05-01 00:11

Very nicely designed and executed.

joe40001 2015-05-01 06:36

The fact that even though the game lagged like crazy I still finished it, is just evidence of how good a game it is. Well done, very inventive and fun, I just wish I didn't have such terrible lag with it.

renatopp 2015-05-01 21:38

Hey, great idea, it was pretty fun to play!

stevesalmond 2015-05-02 11:33

Really cool idea. Would be neat to see you explore this game concept further - I can easily imagine a full game based on this.

voider 2015-05-03 17:14

Really fun game. Excelent game play, sounds and graphics. Good job!

vicious_br 2015-05-09 16:44

Tku for all players that rate my game. Tks for the feedback and for all else. See you in next LD.
