Fun little game

flashmonkey 2015-08-24 09:05

I like the graphic style and the game concept but it was a bit too fast for me

split82 2015-08-24 09:05

Crazy sounds and nice use of theme. I played through few levels but wasn't completely sure what was the goal. A little bit more instructions could help. Good job anyway.

nexusbreaker 2015-08-24 09:06

its a cool game principe but a little bit difficult ^^

mrdave 2015-08-24 09:15

I love these kinds of games, you won with good level design.

grhyll 2015-08-24 09:34

There is a good idea behind this I think, but the result is just a bit too short on some aspects...
More explanation would have been great (first time I thought I had to kill all of them, since the theme was You are the Monster, so I killed them all, and then... nothing happened, not a "you lost" or what); on second level I didn't really know what I had to do with those 2 kind of animals, so I just went for the chickens, which seemed like the right thing to do.
So the game could be really nice with a little more polish/UI and a more progressive difficulty ramp.

geeitsomelaldy 2015-08-24 09:42

Difficulty ramps up a bit too much perhaps. Fun nonetheless.

sojabird 2015-08-24 09:45

Haha a really neat little game.
Great graphics and a very good core mechanic.
It's pretty hectic at start but that's where some of the interesting stuff is.

It looks like every level has just the right amoung of blocks to complete it.
I think some of them could be completed with less.
Maybe in the future you could have blocks in your inventory, and based on how many you have deployed in the end you get stars. (Current stars should just be a X amount of correct monsters in the right exit)

Very fun, I think you might be able to make a little mobile game out of this with more challenging levels <3

chromebookbob 2015-08-24 09:55

good fun, very challenging

ajopart 2015-08-24 10:00

Interesting concept. Just need some explanation to help understand the gameplay. Nice graphics

insality 2015-08-24 10:11

twixtortitan 2015-08-24 10:20

A bit to difficult.

takenapeveryday 2015-08-24 10:35

Nice mouth sounds! Gets difficult fast. Several tries to get past level 3, gave up on level 4 with no idea what was going on.

peterthehe 2015-08-24 11:17

Nice concept.

flygamer101 2015-08-24 12:38

Nice little puzzle game but was hard and i didn't know until i read the description xD Nice graphics though.

dmcfarline 2015-08-24 12:43

Nice graphics and fun sound effects, but a bit too confusing, tried level 3 a few times but couldn't figure it out

arnage 2015-08-24 13:42

Are 5 star ratings even possible on all levels? It seems impossible to respond fast enough sometimes.

Other than that I agree with most of the others here, nice concept, but initially a little too hard and confusing.

honcho 2015-08-24 13:59

Cute graphics and hillarious sound effects :D

nonentheless 2015-08-24 14:28

Nice and fun

kewleus 2015-08-24 14:58

maybe give a little time to read the level before sending the minions, other than that, fun

terracottafrog 2015-08-24 15:04

The game seems good, but the goal is very unclear.

Instructions should really be added in the description as soon as possible.

I abstained from voting in all of the categories related to gameplay.

cultofmonkey 2015-08-24 15:21

Bit too hard, but nice idea. Good graphics & sound

jaredsartin 2015-08-24 16:46

Awesome!!! Love puzzles!

wicht 2015-08-24 18:48

Awesome sound effects. Mechanics are nice and length is really perfect: Just as i thought: "Ok, enough know" it ended. Pretty good entry!

robert 2015-08-24 19:35

Simple but cool game. Amazing FX ;3

oskardevelopment 2015-08-24 20:30

Cool game with nice sound and quite polished - I couldn't figure out how to get past 3th level, I got all the stars but the level didn't end?

yamzho 2015-08-24 20:33

Good game concept and nice art.

vividhelix 2015-08-24 21:06

Fun game! Agree with others that was a bit too fast, but other than that well executed!

conormn 2015-08-24 22:20

Very nice little puzzler!

kunonooni 2015-08-25 01:47

Neat liitle puzzle game. Graphic style is very eye appealing.

andyman404 2015-08-25 02:31

Hahaha! I loved the sound effects and sound effects.

minibobbo 2015-08-25 04:32

I'd echo what some others said about not really understanding what I was doing to start. Each level required some trial and error to get, which isn't a problem. What made it a little frustrating was that it wasn't clear what each machine did. Maybe a quick splash screen introducing each device would make the game more accessible. Overall, it was really fun.

I also loved the sound. It must have been fun to make.

suese 2015-08-25 05:54

Fun. There isn't enough lead time to analyse the puzzles before they start going which is a bit of a flaw.

zxeno 2015-08-25 19:13

I really enjoyed this. The difficulty scaled a bit quickly, and could use some more instruction. Overall, this was really good. :)

voider 2015-08-26 14:20

Nice puzzle game. Good graphics and sounds. Congratulations!

sydream 2015-08-28 17:22

Nice game, even though would have been nice to know what to do in each level. Who to save? Who to spare? Enjoyed it anyway

samh 2015-08-28 17:51

Very nicely done, cute graphics, addictive, but too damn difficult and unforgiving! I’d love a “go back 10 seconds before” button rather than “start all over again”. Also, is it possible to rotate counterclockwise on the Web version?

robonebula 2015-08-28 18:22

lovely little puzzler. Graphics are nice and the sounds aren´t to badeither. I didn´t really find the theme `you are the monster` in here, although, yes, you are making minions.

team_ftlol 2015-08-28 18:43

Cute game. I've played a lot of Manufactoria, so I can see the influence here. The pixel art and animation looks great, and the mouth sounds are pretty good. The music does get a bit repetitive. Good work, overall.

I think the levels could use a little more conveyor time at the beginning before the minions start falling off the belt and dying. I had a hard time just dragging and rotating the pieces fast enough to save them, especially in later levels.

I finished level 5 with four stars, but nothing happened. Not sure if that's the end or a bug. Played on the submission page in Firefox.

Nice compo! I loled when heard the sound effect

recursor 2015-08-28 22:54

Took me a few tries to figure out what to do, but then it hit me and I was off. It wasn't very clear to me when I needed to push the restart button. I kept waiting for more animals to show up. Perhaps once all the animals are gone there should be a loss screen or something. Also a pause button would be helpful to sort everything out at the beginning of a level as it sometimes starts too quickly for me. Great little puzzle game and I would like to see more levels.

reheated 2015-08-29 01:39

Gross in a cute way, and heaps of fun. The sounds are great!

bigbuggames 2015-08-29 01:57

At the start it was difficult to understand the mechanic of the game. Overall, really interesting game! Keep up the good work!

crawler-studios 2015-09-02 04:42

Music and graphics are really good!

bombjack 2015-09-03 10:42

nice idea.

landosystems 2015-09-09 04:26

Very clever puzzle mechanics, took it bit to figure out how to play properly, but very fun once I knew what I was doing. Good artwork and fitting sound effects, great work overall and excellent compo entry!

oadt 2015-09-14 09:09

Cool concept. Took some time to understand it completely, but makes fun. Maybe the animals should spawn a bit delayed, but apart from that great entry!
