Very awesome graphics!

magnusfurcifer 2015-08-24 02:58

I'll get that S rank on speed one day :D

dustinaux 2015-08-24 05:06

Very nice graphics and great polish! :)

snarf 2015-08-24 05:07

Graphics are godlike

9-ar7k 2015-08-24 05:10

beautiful game.

radiolemon 2015-08-24 05:14

These kinds of key combination racing games are always fun, also both the look of the game and the music is very neat.

franklins-ghost 2015-08-24 09:12

Cleverly done game with nice use of the theme. The art was one of the best I've seen so far, the colours just worked so well together. I've noted this down on my list of favourites so far.

Hey, Lynx! Hello, remember you from LD31, my orange theme supporter! ;)
Nice game, as an expected. Good gameplay and graphics, but i want more levels of this ;)
Tried to speedrun levels, its too hard for me
Best for me - A level speed ;) Very interesting!
On this LD now i am created beat-music-game, check! ;)

rob 2015-08-24 13:01

I like this one! It's very original, and the art and sound are great.

Good thinking with the level select, I think that works well for LD.

At first I thought I had to go when the policeman-looking dudes weren't looking, so I was getting scored badly for speed. But then I figured out they can't do anything to me. I AM ABOVE THE LAW.

Great job.

i had to play slow to enjoy the awesome soundtrack. need to grab the track from the source.
btw: everything else is very nice as well.

hyoga-3d 2015-08-24 13:51

Impressive art style, gameplay is very inovative too, great job.

jaredsartin 2015-08-24 17:54

NICE!

runedrake 2015-08-24 20:42

I'm not very good at games like this, but I like it a lot. The art and mood are phenomenal.

benko 2015-08-24 22:22

Simple and fun idea, well executed!

conormn 2015-08-24 23:16

Wow, that's super fun. Great job on this guy!

ulydev 2015-08-25 02:06

What could I say ? Your art style is incredible.

boskosokolov 2015-08-25 22:19

Nice graphics very good game :D

superfreak 2015-08-26 00:11

Amazing! LOVE the artstyle and take on the theme would play this for hours with more levels A++ <3

jhm 2015-08-26 00:17

Nice art !!!

buzzwerd 2015-08-26 02:29

A fantastic compo entry, really impressive. The art and music were fantastic, as well as the gameplay. Really good job.

gty 2015-08-26 04:29

Great graphics and sound, loved it! (:

01101101 2015-08-26 08:50

Beautiful art, really nice music, fun and challenging gameplay, polished game... What is there not to like? :)
I'm always a fun of this kind of rythm/keyboard game (see Promoted, my LD24 entry ^^) so I really enjoyed Nimble.
Great work!

jofra 2015-08-27 11:25

such beautiful colors and a great mood! loved the game mechanic.
awesome work!!

qkerguelen 2015-08-27 20:09

Very pretty, and fun! I wish there were more levels! :D

maramasa 2015-08-27 20:18

Simply awesome!

onlyslightly 2015-08-28 02:10

Awesome game. Loved the aesthetics. I loved seeing how each object would look when a monster was hidden inside. The two tone color palette gave it a really cool feel. Subtle details like the glowing floating orbs (fireflies or fog?) gave it a nice night feel and ambiance. Awesome game!!!

emmelineprufrock 2015-08-28 02:15

Great ambiance,

jannesn 2015-08-28 02:29

Amazing game! I really like what you do =)
Also it was nice to chat with you on Twitter!

Thank you for making games!

randoman 2015-08-28 09:19

Really cool mechanic! Graphics and soundtrack are also great. My best rating was A-C

archonthewizard 2015-08-28 18:31

Graphics and audio were outstanding! Fun gameplay

maniulo 2015-08-28 20:17

20.528, oh yes.
Cool game. Maybe you should've incorporated the scare in the final result somehow; like, minimum amount of scare required to complete the level?

recursor 2015-08-28 20:24

Love the art and sounds. The thinking required to process which key is next makes it a nice challenge.

tselmek 2015-08-28 20:49

The game mechanics are really great and the graphics are top notch. It reminds me of Tap Toads but had a way deeper mood. The scare-people mechanics doesn't feel entirely integrated to the game but it is great fun. Good job!

inbetweengames 2015-08-28 21:16

Hey David here from before,
really cool game, love that the gameplay is so simple & responsive. The art also does a really good job at supporting the theme and fantasy too.
I could totally see this being successful as a mobile game with swiping controls. :)
Cheers,
David

chuigum 2015-08-28 22:29

Great graphics and awesome idea. I loved how smooth it was. Very innovative as well. Could definitely see more!

bender 2015-08-28 23:37

My goodness this game is good

wg_phancock 2015-08-29 00:31

Very solid game, fun mechanics and nice graphical style.

el_cabaro 2015-08-29 03:55

This art's really great and the mood is fantastic, I'm just mildly sad that such cool atmosphere was "blown" on what is essentially Guitar Hero without the rhythm. I like it anyway though.

clurect 2015-08-29 03:57

The music was so jammin' I want more of the music

euske 2015-08-29 09:14

Good atmosphere overall. The graphics and audio is fitting perfectly.

mach60kas 2015-08-29 14:11

Very fun, and graphically stylish. The music in this entry is incredible, but I think most people aren't going to hear it since it restarts with the level instead of continuing to play. Fantastic work, keep it up!

burgerdare 2015-08-29 19:45

the presentation is really polished, but I found the gameplay to be a little bit shallow and poorly executed in places.
My biggest gripe is that I can't really "queue up" inputs without failing. If I try to press "up" while in the animation to arrive at a "left," the game just fails me because up isn't *technically* the next button in front of my character. In a game whose primary mechanic is a test of player's input speed, it feels a little silly to be penalized for providing inputs too fast.
I also found the scaring mechanic to be a bit clumsy for two reasons. The first is that performing a scare covers up your entire screen for a few frames (which are precious things in a game as quick as this) in an abrupt and awkward fashion, which makes it feel like a generally clunky thing to do. The second problem with scaring is that, when a character is scared, this is only indicated by a fairly subtle change in their animation which is easy to miss when you're trying to read the entire screen at a quick glance. It might help if scared characters were color coded to make it more clear who you have and haven't scared yet.
That aside, this is still a very nice start to a game which could quickly turn into an addictive time-killer with just a bit more attention to detail on the mechanics.

springcabal 2015-08-29 20:15

I liked the graphics and mood felt good combined with the audio, but the gameplay got boring fast. It's too repetitive and I'd get frustrated if I failed, especially late in the sequence. I think some sort of combo mechanics would make it more fun.

headmade 2015-08-30 00:13

Outstanding visuals! It's a joy to look at.
Though I wish there was more to the game than just quicktime events. It's well made but lacks depth. But maybe that's too much to ask from a Ludum Dare game.

taro 2015-08-30 02:02

Great graphics and audio. The overall presentation is absolutely wonderful. I admit that this game doesn't quite fall under my taste. I struggled a bit with the interface, in that I didn't know the left-most key was what I was supposed to press. In addition, I took me a while to notice that I actually had to be hiding before entering the next key. To me, the latter felt counter to the game I was expecting, which was a game where you type in the keys as fast as possible without error. It feels like it's trying to be rhythmic in that sense, without the timing.

block97 2015-08-30 02:36

Really fun and challenging speedrun game! Great music and clean art style. I really enjoyed this one!

magenta 2015-08-30 03:06

Really nice, bold graphics. Have you played BishiBashi? I think this would suit the trashcan level. Possibly change the rules a bit so it becomes either a rhythm and memory game so the pacing allows us to appreciate the wonderful visuals that's getting skipped at the moment cause you're focusing on the arrows.

thomcc 2015-08-30 14:43

real pretty to look at and very fun gameplay

commodorekid 2015-08-30 22:07

Good idea, good graphics but something is still missing. I think the mechanic was too simple for me. I don't usually like games without depth but it's a personal opinion don't worry I will judge it fairly.

vem 2015-08-31 00:16

So pretty...

Getting an S left me satisfied with the game.

zyxer 2015-08-31 18:21

Awesome art and atmosphere! Great game mechanic, but i wished there would be additional challenges.

korvexx 2015-08-31 19:48

Wow! Great compo entry. Fun game and it looks AWESOME. Great job!

erkberg 2015-09-01 18:15

The visual style is just great! Music is pretty awesome too. Everything seems really polished. The gameplay reminds me of rhythm games, but without the need to be in time. It works well, but there could be some more variety other than just pressing the arrow keys and sometimes space. Maybe even something small to mix things up, like having to press two buttons at the same time every now and then could improve the gameplay.
Overall, I enjoyed this a lot nonetheless, good job!

lukezaz 2015-09-02 04:34

Very good and well polished game. Merely more levels and more health would make this perfect.

mathmadlen 2015-09-05 23:03

Amazing art and music, the mechanics are quite interesting, great idea and execution!

jupiter_hadley 2015-09-06 16:00

Cute graphics, fun game! I included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/WVNLcoTqal4

roaringcatgames 2015-09-10 23:41

This is an awesome concept executed really well. The art style is really really really nice. Very polished for a compo entry. Well well done.

crucknuk 2015-09-11 10:43

Meet cookie monster playing dance dance revolution! :D lovely!

diningphilosopher 2015-09-11 12:14

Wow, this is a very polished game, especially for a compo entry. Well done!
