Quick play, fun, polished, challenging and super cute! Try saying all the dino yellow text in your best tiny tryhard dinosaur voice. Great show!
I had a really hard time getting through this one. I'm stuck a few levels in currently, but haven't been TOO frustrated. I really love the visual effects, especially the faux rounded screen. The story is understandably light, but I love the little touches in each level.
Also, I popped in to your stream a few times over the weekend when I needed a break, and enjoyed hearing you talk through problems. I hope you do more of those in the future!
Oh man, this was a hoot, George! Played all the way through. It ended up being a solid but playable challenge and I enjoyed it!
Very cool! Love the retro rendering style and the interpretation of the theme!
Love the retro tube TV look of the game. The mechanics offer a fun and challenging experience, really nice game. Still stuck on lvl 8, but ill get it.
Love the polish on. I got stuck on level 3 for ages as I just kept overshooting the exit!
Only problem is the inertia on the controls. If it was less or not none at all, it would have been much better to control.
very nice old fashioned entry! great!
Ah, good 'ol Mom and Dad Monster. Teaching such important life lessons as being careful, listening to your elders, and always eating the human before moving on to the next room.
I love it!
Easily the best game I've played so far.
old tv effect is great. surprisingly fun
Interesting view of the monsters family relations (well, they are monsters, it's ok for them). I expect to see more messages from aunt, uncle, grandpa etc.
I screencasted some LD entries: http://youtu.be/6Al6aF0oETA
Your game is at 28:35
Really adorable monster, best hints ever and a brilliant retro monitor effect. Great game right here!
This is why you make games for a living and I don't :). Feels really polished and well thought out. I really liked the level design and the retro graphics. I can't really think of anything I would change, which the exception of maybe more levels. I'd like to see you work on this one post-compo. I think you have a winner here!
Good stuff George. Love the TV filter and the messages. Man that level tilt really messed with me
Just when you thought it couldn't get any harder... it still did.
So cute and awesome. Great rendering, too.
Ahhhhh the ice stage is soooo hard.
how many levels are there anyways?
@idds 9 levels so you are at the final level. Just slide slow and wait for the darts to pass :)
FEELS LIKE A TV WOAHHH
Pretty solid gameplay. With a few more mechanics you could fill this out into a full length game! Great job!
Got to level 8! Great game
Everything about this game is great. Controls, graphics, polish and the take on the theme.
Great job!
Arrghh ! I love the style, the controls, but the pitfall make me mad. The cool sensation of moving this little guy makes it impossible for me to go slow; and the very large "hole" radius of the pifall makes me fall everytime. After dying 10 times in a row on the exact same spot (it's not even a difficult spot, that's why I can't do it slowly), I gave up :( But very nice for what I've seeen!
So much fun! This is one of those games that makes you shout at yourself out loud, haha! Everything feels really tight and I love the old school Atari feel. Really enjoyed this, George! :)
I learned so much from this game. I will keep playing this over and over until the lessons finally sink in. 5/5
Nice, fast and a full game! The monster is cute and it works well.
i really dig that crt shader.
Fun game, I liked the visual effect of the TV screen...
Messages were funny additions...
Level 8 was frustrating, and the edges seemed a little too easy to fall off...
Oh, yes!!! I love everything about this game. The retro TV look really grabbed my attention, but the gameplay is what really made this one. Very difficult, but it feels fair, and it's got a good mix of mechanics. This is one of my favorites so far.
Damn it dad, stop being so hard on me!
Great game :)
Awesome game play, FX and humor. A+ stuff
Nice little game. Very polished, except for the audio (the sounds are annoying to me :S) and there isn't really anything that really stands out. Maybe the old retro tv screen shader, that's pretty cool.
Nicely balanced difficulty. I was challenged but not frustrated.
Graphics are cohesive but rather minimal...; I require more doodads.
A great little game this is! The difficulty felt just right, I don't think it's that hard. :)
I enjoyed the visuals quite a bit, very oldschool but charming and the effects like the overlay and the rotation when holes open up are great.
The sound effects are nice, but I really miss some kind of retro soundtrack going along, it would've made the experience even better.
Overall, I enjoyed it a lot!
Excellent and original take on the theme, I love the idea of monsters being trained. Plenty of witty comments throughout, gameplay is simplistic but far from simple (maybe I'm just a bit crap) and the graphics fit perfectly. Fantastic arcade machine deform shader too. Excellent work.
Better pack a lunch, you're going to be on level 8 for a while. You'll enjoy every frustrating minute of it though ;)
I really do like this game. Great difficulty curve, interesting implementation of ice (+Speed as opposed to the usual -Acceleration) and a good variety of mechanics. I'm liking the scan lines and screen distortion, screenshake, audio and visuals are great. The only complaint I could fathom is that falling in pits is maybe a bit too easy.
You kept the challenge alive! good job!
Loved the challenging gameplay and tiny adorable dinosaur :3 A++ would get frustrated at level 8 any day of the week!
A true LD entry, simple fun and engaging. Great job!
Loved it. Especially the graphics. 5/5
awesome art! loved it!
Quite original and love the aesthetics. Good entry and made me laugh on occasion. Controls do feel a bit floaty, though, and there is a small element of randomness between the dart shooters, where the darts of two or more shooters would constantly differ.
All in all a nice game, and I enjoyed watching your stream as well.
So cute. Very well done. Looks and feels good from start to end! Keep up the good work!
Nice little game. Feels very complete. Those holes really suck you in though
Nice crt effect. This was really fun and challenging. :D
Really enjoyable!
Good game... my only complaint is the lack of WASD controls. My right hand isn't as responsive as my left for this kind of twitch gameplay. Had to move my keyboard to be able to finish it with my left hand.
So hard, so good. I think my stomach spilled out from my mouth a few times.
Really solid entry! I loved the look of everything. The floaty controls were ok at first, but got frustrating when the ice and falling blocks came into play - at that point I really wished it was tile-by-tile movement, or at least more input -> velocity than input -> acceleration. Even so, I still enjoyed the game a lot! Great job!
Nice visuals, but I just couldn't get past the third level, the controls on the ice were just way too touchy for me to deal with.
Super tough, but super cute, the visual effects over the simple graphics look really nice
Great old school game ! And good job with the shadder, it's very well done. A nice simple and well polished arcade game :)
Boy this is hard and FUN. Reminds me of those old-school games where you end up rage-quitting or throwing your controller :)
Extremely polished and great (frustrating) fun. Keeps pulling you in for one more go.
Love the sound effects, they go perfectly with this game and the TV look is awesome and another tip of the hat to old school.
Would love seeing this a commercial game and I for one would surely buy it.
Really nice little game. Great graphics and retro style, cute story, and well polished, layered game mechanics. Excellent work!
Cute game, I like how you interpreted the theme! I found it pretty annoying that the level reset completely when you died, some checkpoints would've been nice.
Nice retro graphics, but the fish-eye effect was a tiny bit nauseating.
Nice work overall! :)
Nice one! The ice was really fun!
Yeah! I'm ready to start eating real life humans! B)
Simple and addictive game in all it's pixelated glory. Love the CRT effect and the game style.
Well done.
The gameplay was fun and I really wanted to like this game, but I could not play all the way through because the bulbous crt visual effect made me nauseous. It also felt like the collision bounds on the holes were too unforgiving for a game controlled with a keyboard. The sprites and little dialog bits were very cute.
I really liked the old TV effect. The puzzles were nice too. well done!
Simple, challenging, and sweet!
Great idea! She sound es very basic, but the game is very fun. I love the retro rendering style :D
Super cute baby monster. It brings back memories.
Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
Ohh, it's adorable!! That's one of the kind of game that I like. I wish it had more levels hehehe. The hints are a pretty cool feature and the graphics are great. Very well done :D
gg
Great game. Challenging but able to complete. Enjoyed it.
