Lovely entry, surprised no HTML5 version output from Unreal ?

Middle click camera panning would've been nice maybe or 2 buttons for turning left/right instead of only 1.

waynetao 2016-04-18 06:39

Good game

nppro93 2016-04-18 06:47

I love this. Reminds me of the old Alpha Team lego game. Although they're simple, the graphics look super nice. The puzzles aren't too hard and could probably benefit from more mechanics (and a fast-complete option) if you decide to expand on this, but awesome entry!

jollyserpent 2016-04-18 08:08

Surprised nobody's mentioned the AMAZING voice-overs and sound effects! Had a good laugh and enjoyed the game quite a lot.

saladon 2016-04-18 08:33

Good job. Fun to play and great audio.

siryakko 2016-04-18 09:29

Nice puzzle game, relaxing and clean graphics. Thanks

uzumakkinaruto 2016-04-18 09:32

Really good game. Love it lot

codercameron 2016-04-18 10:16

This is the funniest game I have played yet, because of the voice acting.

berserker_chris 2016-04-18 10:54

Really good Game with a good idea. Wanna play more.

sanguine 2016-04-18 10:55

funny voice acting - difficulty could have ramped up faster

fanus07 2016-04-18 11:57

Anyone else struggling to run this? I get a missing .dll file when I run the .exe file. Perhaps I'm missing something regarding UE? Tried both 32bit and 64bit versions.

jk5000 2016-04-18 12:09

I have download the game and unziped it, and works fine on my computer. So I don't know what is wrong "Autovelop".

whilefun 2016-04-18 13:15

What a lovely entry. I enjoyed the sound effects. Fun puzzles and game. Nice work :)

owi-games 2016-04-18 15:32

I think that the levels should get harder, faster.

glaze_96 2016-04-18 18:00

"Dubidubiidubidooo~!" lol

It's a little to simple for too long which made me loose interest. Then *bam* a super hard level appears! Got stuck actually, spent 5 minutes trying to work it out then I couldn't take it anymore :/
But I got the idea at least!

Imo, your take on the theme is too vague. But otherwise the game was fun.

Hope you had a fun time making it =)

monkeybit29 2016-04-18 20:00

Reminded me of light bot, my only suggestion would be to make the guy walk faster. It sucked having to have solved the puzzle quickly but then having to wait so long for him to get to the end. GJ!

z4f1 2016-04-18 20:05

Really cool game. It is really good!

boltkey 2016-04-18 20:19

The sound effect were genial. I especially liked the stairs placement sound. The level design was not that good though. Levels were pretty easy and straightforward.

miret 2016-04-18 22:26

neat! it looks great

matzigon 2016-04-19 01:04

The voice-over is brilliant. :)

candlesan 2016-04-19 01:41

Great game! I'm guessing this is for "Indirect Control". Good interpretation of Indirect Control theme.

phocker 2016-04-19 02:19

this was quite fun - like the use of the theme - great job

superizzo 2016-04-19 08:31

Nice game. Would have liked to see a bit more plausible but fake solutions implemented in the level design as currently there is one of two approaches and the solution is obvious. A third element (besides stairs and arrows) might have helped. But overall it was a rather enjoyable game.

diebackstudios 2016-04-19 15:46

wow Great use of concept! good job

orukinawa 2016-04-19 18:26

Nice little puzzle game. Loved the voice clips

omlette-du-fromage 2016-04-19 20:16

Lovely puzzle game. It was ok on theme representation but really enjoyable difficulty ranking in puzzles. Nice music and funny SFX for the character. Quite fun, Good job!

devilqube 2016-04-19 20:21

great fun, surprising how changing the camera view makes the levels harder/easier.

blobo 2016-04-19 21:12

Really nice. i never really struggled with any levels, and went through the whole game almost first try, but that's not a bad thing.

edocentrique 2016-04-19 22:59

Nice, especially the voice acting :) great concept and realisation for a compo !

gamesplusjames 2016-04-20 11:32

Great job! I liked the puzzles, and the various bits of dialogue were great :D

neilcorre2k6 2016-04-20 14:26

haha that was a good game! :D nice voice covers! :D made me giggle in a good way :D

wirdo91 2016-04-20 17:09

Very nice entry, also a good hit with the learning curve

kai20 2016-04-20 17:27

It felt like i have seen this game before.

guillaumegwi 2016-04-20 18:16

Prety great game. I liked the graphics, very clean. The puzzles are good, even if some of them only require choosing between two paths. Super voice-overs. I would have liked a fastforward button in the last couple of levels. Keep up the good work !

madalaski 2016-04-20 19:25

Simple, quirky but would've been better with just music and not the sound effects.

cynicalmonkey 2016-04-20 20:33

would be interesting to see what could be done with this with more time

dyn 2016-04-20 21:42

First puzzle in my review and very interesting one.

gogo199432 2016-04-21 09:10

Haha, loved this game. The voices are really hilarious like many said before me. The puzzles aren't too hard, but still a nice challenge. Good job :)

patomkin 2016-04-21 09:40

Ooh, a puzzle game! The mechanics are limited, but very nicely implemented, but I would really like a fast forward button to skip through the, you know, THE walk to the top :)
Solved about seven or eight puzzles (left on a really big one with 11 arrows).
"Dubidubiedoopdoop!"

ducktieteam 2016-04-21 10:34

Good game, fella) Make Little improvements in graphics, and polish mechanics, add animations, and this can be a great game

johnnysix 2016-04-21 21:21

I wanted to play this one but I think my PC is too old/broken. Couldn't get past the UE4 install. Looks great though.

fabraz 2016-04-22 14:16

Shifting shapes to Qbert across space. Cute!

designernap 2016-04-22 15:02

Great. Really well thought out and wonderful audio. Nice stuff :)

taviandir 2016-04-23 09:10

Good game!
Only thing i can criticize is that I didnt really like that it had to blink for 1 second before i could remove a placed tile.
Some ideas I had for improvement, but are probably outside the scope of this gamejam:
* Limits to the attempt of tries one gets.
* Limited time to prepare the map.
* More kinds of map manipulation (jump, charge, destroy something, etc).
* Manipulate map while he is walking

mightymarcus 2016-04-23 10:28

Click *clck* :)

Cool game.

shael 2016-04-23 17:12

Love the voice acting.
fun game

reismahnic 2016-04-24 07:43

Woah, this game has a really neat core mechanic.
I also really liked your voice over.
Really well designed puzzles.

mementogames 2016-04-24 19:08

Awesome entry!
Nice puzzles and take on the theme.
I just wish I could rotate the view with the mouse or have some keyboard shortcuts.

osaft 2016-04-24 20:58

The Audio Sounds really got me

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-25 12:27

I liked it a lot! The music is a bit tiring, but the sounds are great.
The levels are easy, but if you add more levels and objects, the game would be cool.
Solid entry, goood work!

humble_ray 2016-04-26 04:31

Fun to play, nice game!

realitycheck 2016-04-26 08:48

Very nice puzzle game. I really enjoyed the sound... gave me quite a good chuckle.

Only problem is there was no real challenge to the game. A quick glance and I could quickly assess how to place the stairs and arrows to complete the level. Some more variety options to complicate things would make the game much better.

I liked how many levels there were to the game though.

schw3de 2016-04-26 20:47

A very nice entry. I like the concept and it has a lot of potential to include other features in order to increase the hardness level. Gj!

rburema 2016-04-27 15:38

I feel the number of possible fun puzzles would increase a lot if you'd allow for the spherical fellow to return the way they came from after bumping into a wall. Or maybe even just having 'falling from a ledge' incorporated into the solution of a puzzle.

(... and yes, the sound effects are good for a laugh :-) )

ryannielson 2016-04-27 22:52

Neat idea, I think this could be a great game with some improved level design and additional mechanics. I liked the simplicity of the graphics and sound.

perecil 2016-04-28 20:13

Nice game, it reminds me the old Amiga game named "Brat". The first puzzles were very unchallenging, but the fifth one was tougher.

The voice made sounds made me smile.

thedashdude 2016-04-30 02:17

A fun little game, but I think it needs more mechanics and harder levels. Also the voices were really funny/weird.

adipson 2016-04-30 08:35

nice work

cliffracerx 2016-04-30 18:57

One of my favorite entries from this jam - super funny, and easy to understand! Would certainly love to see a post-jam version with more levels and gameplay mechanics - this is great!

sunflower 2016-04-30 21:19

Solid entry when it comes to audiovisuals, polish etc. (although I could use a button to stop the man going on path instead of restarting altogether; and the man could really walk faster). However, the puzzle mechanics and their usage in game is kinda too simple; only the last few levels were remotely challenging for me, since stairs and arrows alone leave somewhat little room for thought (most placements are pretty obvious, and those that aren't can be checked easily).

Also, I feel the theme usage here is a bit of a stretch, even though other entries used environment alteration and I was fine with these. I dunno, maybe here it just seems too mundane (nothing as spooky as castle changing on its own or as wacky as warping the game window?).

Still, it's quite decent game, just not too exciting for me when it comes to gameplay itself. You seem to have little issue quickly making a game that feels complete, nonetheless, and that's quite an important thing, too (many people can't get a game to feel complete even with all the time they want, ehehehehe...).

masterkrepta 2016-05-01 02:09

I loved it. waas actually very challenging, reminds me of the logic games i played with my nephews the other day.

starpixie 2016-05-01 02:19

Funny voice clips. Had fun playing it.

vururia 2016-05-01 15:30

One of the best games from this ludum dare.

mkghoster 2016-05-01 18:30

Great execution for a small game! Really liked the sound effects! :)

pixelpotions 2016-05-02 20:12

Awesome entry! Very great sfx and voice-overs, the cherry on the top definitely!
The gameplay is cool and smart too, could easily become a phone game. Well done!

aaranos 2016-05-03 02:08

Simple graphics but the puzzles are well made. Orthographic puzzles can be great for improving spatial awareness.

in3orn 2016-05-03 17:11

Very nice game. I like this genre :) The levels could be more demanding but still it was fun to complete all of them.

yumeito 2016-05-06 21:07

Nice Game :)

przekop 2016-05-07 23:02

Clever little puzzle game, shame that it is so easy.

franklins-ghost 2016-05-08 00:08

Quite enjoyed this one. The whole puzzle mechanic made me keep playing through the levels which is always a good sign. Liked having to look at the scene for a moment before deciding what I would need to do to complete the level. Fun game and could see it working well on mobile. Also the voices were great and added quite a bit of charm to the whole thing.

thecain 2016-05-08 02:20

The sound-effects reminded me of Justin Roiland.
I pretty much liked it, but all the solutions were pretty obvious.
What this game could really make use of is a level editor.

maekeruu 2016-05-08 05:24

nice game ! sounds are on fleek

bradur 2016-05-09 05:51

Really liked this one, I even finished the game :). The puzzles were easy to understand and the game played very smoothly. My only criticism is that there wasn't any more objects than the stairs and direction arrows, so the game was quite easy. Nevertheless, very well done!

mayank-technical 2016-05-09 20:23

surprisingly a very great game

yuigoto 2016-05-10 00:33

The idea is lovely, challenging and can also be kinda mind-bending, because of the isometric angle.

The graphics are nice, the puzzle style remembered me a little bit of Chu Chu Rocket, which is nice. :)

The soundtrack is really nice, I think the voice acting is funny, but it needs some extra punch. ;)

Nice work! :D

jk5000 2016-05-10 07:09

Thanks to everyone who has played, commented and rated on my game.
