Man, that's really fun! I loved the tone of the game, the references and humor are top-notch. Pretty neat way to deliver a tutorial, by the way.

I wonder if the buttons on the floor cause something. I think I will play it more to find out :)

Congratulations!

It's also pixelated and top-down, but with a darker and rather opposite take on mutations.

Very nice pixel art and ideas ;) great game

chromebookbob 2016-04-19 17:46

Really slick animations, loved the gameplay too

tentacode 2016-04-19 17:47

Awesome graphics ! way to go !

josearias 2016-04-19 17:50

@mrStrings If you press the buttons fast enough you open the door to the next level! Thank you!!

Really awesome entry! I enjoyed your game; very good way to relieve some stress and test your reflexes.
I'm not too fond of the second form, however. It seems to me that his attacks are way too random and difficult to control. The other two are cool though!
Cheers,

Okay, once I figured out what I was doing I was having a pretty good time. Love the art style and concept, fits the theme really well! Sounds were good too. Only criticism I'd give is that there should be some sort of control description on the first screen, I had no idea what I was doing and had to come back to the description here in order to finally figure out that "X" attacked. Also, what do the red buttons do when you press them (the ones on the floor)?

That was challenging, took me a few tries to finish. It was fun to play and the quotes were nice. I really liked the way you did the tutorial.

nyaki 2016-04-19 20:30

Really liked the different play styles with the different characters.
And those pixel-graphics animations are awesome. :)

mactinite 2016-04-20 14:11

Awesome job! I was able to get through to the second level, but using the second form to hit those posts behind the grate proved too difficult for me. Sound is good, art is great. Solid entry.

erikkire 2016-04-21 18:21

Graphics and sound are great, would like the gameplay to have some more depth

ryjcio 2016-04-21 18:23

That was rly fun! Everything seems to be solid. Congratulation guys, great game!

lilkrit 2016-04-21 18:26

Cool game, nice pixel art graphics and music fits:)

sin-gaiiden2 2016-04-21 18:31

Very much enjoyed this one. The spritework is nice, and the dialogue is hysterical. One thing that's a little annoying for me is that the blade-kinda-guy seems to be a little OP because of how fast he moves. Also, I'm getting some slowdown issues on the web player on Firefox. Not sure if that's intentional, but either way it's a little annoying.

josearias 2016-04-21 19:21

@kuhnerdm thanks for the feedback! When you change the form there is a bullet time (you move faster, it's like a bust because you are almost moving at the same speed but enemies are slower)

josearias 2016-04-21 19:34

Boost* :p

meisterfuu 2016-04-21 19:54

Very good and fun game!

yumeito 2016-04-21 20:13

Great game:)

kbf123 2016-04-21 21:02

Fun game, faced a bit of slowdown on my browser though.

josemwarrior 2016-04-21 23:54

Brilliant. Super funny.

Me encantan las mecánicas de juego. Es superdivertido, uno de los mejores de 50 que he probado, he echado en falta mas niveles, pero entiendo que trabajando el lunes no hayáis podido incluir más. Me ha gustado todo, el rollo/feel "película americana", me he meado de risa con las frases, dios que grande ??, las animaciones según el personaje molan mucho, la música es la caña, los efectos de sonido también. Lo único malo, que es corto. 5/5

anaguilefdez 2016-04-22 00:15

Funny and comic, it made me laugh. Solid and polished entry!

khanatos 2016-04-22 15:05

Genial el juego tíos, hubiera molado MIL si le ponéis lo que le hemos puesto al nuestro de twitter.

avinashd 2016-04-22 15:36

Fantastic art style! I haven't rated you on the audio, since the music isn't yours.

technovirusattack 2016-04-22 16:13

Wow, this is so fun! Loved the tutorial, the references (Theme Hospital, such old memories!), the art style and the mechanics. Great entry!

gurkenlabs 2016-04-22 16:44

Nice art, funny idea and great theme! The sounds were nice, too but I didn't vote you for audio because the music wasn't made by you.

naca 2016-04-22 16:54

Juegazo! Pixel art que te cagas, citas a grandes como el Capitán Threepwood, drogas, bien equilibrado y encima divertido. Lo tiene todo, hay que hacer más niveles!

Y gracias por comentar en el mío compañeros ;)

venneque 2016-04-22 17:02

The best game I've seen so far. It's a global 5/5 !
I'm fond of pixel art, but this one disappointed me somehow I dunno why honestly ...
Music totally fits, theme totally fits !
Thank you for escape, I immensely appreciate. T_T
What to say about gameplay ... smashing guards into pieces in wolverine-like form is probably the funniest thing i've played ever. :D

scorched 2016-04-22 20:30

Good entry, but couldn't figure out the second level with fences

mightymarcus 2016-04-22 22:25

Wow cool!

santiandrade 2016-04-23 17:09

:-O Juegazo!!! I love this graphics and it's so funny! Overall is a perfect game for me. Thanks for it and congratulations!

rulrite 2016-04-23 21:37

Fantastic entry. It was a little difficult to start off with, but I got the hang of it - and I like that the constant transformations keep the gameplay from getting repetitive, even though the game itself is very simple. The art and sound are both very well done, and I have to say that I really enjoyed the dialogue/references. very funny stuff (along with the concept itself)!

neontropics 2016-04-25 22:07

Wow, this was really good! Satisfying gameplay and great graphics. Super good animations, it feels fun to punch the lab people.

2016-04-26 17:17

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

randomhuman 2016-04-26 19:49

Fun and satisfying gameplay, and the premise and dialogue are very funny as well. I didn't really get the "bullet time" thing until I read the comments, and it seems like a lot of people were in the same boat, so maybe that was ill-advised. But, I had a blast anyway!

jonnopon3000 2016-04-26 23:21

I loved every moment; everything is up to scratch and well executed. GG

nickavv 2016-04-27 01:37

I love the art/music, the concept, and the funny dialog from the player/guards. It's seriously hard though, I can't go very long without getting shot to ribbons. Nice work

ottersden 2016-04-27 19:17

The gunshot sounds were a bit loud, BUT I loved how the music changed depending on your form. Well done, it was pretty fun!

flummox2d 2016-04-28 05:33

An all around five! Really enjoyed the different forms, and the pixel art is super nice. Awesome work! :)
