no game? but pretty :)

aegypticus 2016-04-19 00:45

Mac version has no game in it. Not sure if that's intentional.

nickavv 2016-04-19 00:48

This is really great, captures the imagination and wonder of childhood really well. Good stuff

tomlum 2016-04-19 00:53

Ah, my bad! All version should now be working!

tomlum 2016-04-19 00:59

Many thanks nickavv!

Wow! Fantastic work. Such a cohesive game with a real story and message. Love to see one of these in a jam, adds to the variety! Thank you!

aegypticus 2016-04-19 01:23

Wow. I've rated, like, 30+ games now and yours is the only that I've given a perfect 5/5 score to. I loved this, the narrative was amazing and the message was really great. The graphics were awesome and I really liked all the neat abilities of each role. Damn this was a good game! I'm glad you got the mac version up and running, because this is too good. I also love seeing Mac LÖVE developers on here making great stuff. Wow.

Wow that was a trip! I liked the part were you are shooting the business people. "401K!!!" haha! :)

gurkenlabs 2016-04-19 01:29

The different shapes were fun to play and I relly liked the music :)

lambda-2 2016-04-19 01:31

Very nice, I liked the ending.

funske 2016-04-19 01:33

I really enjoyed that. I was so much fun. Everything felt so satisfying, and I was actually sad when I had finished because the game was over. The message was cool, and inspiring. Very nice work!

skruffye 2016-04-19 03:18

Really cool game with an awesome take on the theme! Thoroughly enjoyed playing. :)

This was a very fun entry! I love how it starts off feeling as though it's a whole different world, and then you realize it was the child's imagination the whole time. Very charming.

The gameplay was very engaging, I liked how each form had a very specific use and I was encouraged to swap between them often. I think a bit of challenge would have been nice, I don't think it was possible to die or have to restart. But it was still awesome nonetheless.

I loved the feeling of this game, and the way your graphics presented the story without copious amounts of text to read. That said, I felt the graphics were still lacking a bit. Furthermore, I feel the particle effects were a bit TOO much. There were times where my entire screen was filled with nothing but particle effects.

Audio was pleasant. It did meld together into one white noise effect when a lot was going on. I loved the voice-over lines for the businessman attacks.

well done, a very fun entry!

muciojadpl 2016-04-21 18:32

Mindfuck! So awesome entry, there is great gameplay with different mechanics, it's super cool for me! Music and art with gameplay gives solid game in summary. I rated just a few games but this is best so far. Incredible work bro! :D

zkenshin 2016-04-22 18:25

This was very cute and humorous, great job!

glitchu 2016-04-22 18:36

I like the message for this game as it brings out the inner child of me :).

johnbrynte 2016-04-22 18:47

A truly bizarre ending to a very cute little game! The icing on the cake for me was the ability to moonwalk by pressing A & D. Good work!

a333 2016-04-22 19:56

Imagination!
Great game =) Very light-hearted mood and positive feelings. Thank you for that.

the-potato-boss 2016-04-23 04:27

Absolutely amazing game dude! The story is silly but super deep at the same time. It at times makes you want to smile and chuckle, and at times it makes you a little misty eyed. The art and music in this game are good also but the story makes this game a true treasure. The first game that I believe deserves a perfect score :)

tchai 2016-04-23 04:31

Omg, it was very interesting!

I felt like a child, with all imagination and that curiosity to discover the world and even why not other worlds? As said, your imagination is the unique limit for what you'd like to be.

This game is an impressive work of idealistic art. I loved the end, the meaning behind the final moment was the best.

Really a great game! ^_^

interface 2016-04-23 05:07

Great mood, great story with a message. 401K! I may have to let it sink in and play again :-)

naca 2016-04-23 15:53

This game actually reached to my heart. When I was a child, I used to play with my imagination continuously. I miss that time. And I guess one of the reasons that I play videogames now is because I miss that time, the old fantastic worlds that me and my friends used to visit everyday. I suppose we all have done that, but many people do not remember as well. Maybe one day I'll try to play that way again :D. Anyway, congratulations for one of the best takes on this theme.

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

arnage 2016-04-26 10:32

Love it, great story!

miziziziz 2016-04-27 03:40

loved it :) frickin adorable

ijona 2016-04-28 01:22

Awesome!! There was a lot of unexpected things in this game, which is great.

marod 2016-04-28 08:06

Nice concept!

cosmos 2016-04-29 03:00

I love this game! There was definitely a mood to it and I really liked the adventure approach to the game!

The graphics were great, the audio was great and the humor was on point (401k!)

I also really liked the ending, I actually smiled at the very end. Great job :)

walnoot 2016-04-29 15:01

Excellent game! Had me chuckling sometimes, and you seem to understand the relationship between lotsa particles and good gameplay

osaft 2016-04-29 21:45

that was nice :)

aaranos 2016-04-29 22:29

Well done. I enjoyed the game and the message. One complaint is a lot of colors of the player match the background and blend in.

tommyboys0107 2016-04-30 11:44

Awesome entry!

I feel emotional when playing this game. It brings some memories back.

Nice work!!!

strike 2016-05-01 04:38

What a wonderful game !

jollyserpent 2016-05-01 08:05

Very neat game, I loved the idea and the message behind it!

thecain 2016-05-01 16:34

That was really clever. I liked the ending, it really punctuated it.

szabin 2016-05-02 13:38

Beautiful game :)

csanyk 2016-05-03 01:07

Great humor and mood to this entry. A child's make-believe play fantasy, no real danger, but it was fun to explore. I got as far as the mainframe, at which point I couldn't figure out a way to enter a password. So not sure what I wasn't doing right. But it was pretty fun up until that point, although the controls for the spaceman were a bit limited.

themeorch 2016-05-03 05:48

I love this game.

It captures childhood in a way that few games have for me. It's silly and funny, but also honestly moving. It's incredibly creative and surprising. It feels like a huge adventure and also just an afternoon playing outside. I can't say enough good things about this. Thank you for making it!!!

dat_not_my_game 2016-05-03 08:57

Great game about imagination with nice idea and music.

usonchen 2016-05-03 09:45

Great imagination and sound effects! Like this way of story telling.

tth2x 2016-05-09 17:32

salute the torrential imagination and the pure heart of childhood!..
the final climax's continued(so many legs broken!!) really leaves me with a deep impression and shock me alot.
and the end scene also give me infinite daydream from time and space,meaningful + endless aftertaste!

garys 2016-05-09 22:30

This was delightful.
Literally, I was delighted many times whilst playing.
I found myself giggling as I discovered each new part of the experience. The sound effects were perfect too, really fit with the childlike gleeful mood of the game.
Overall, I really enjoyed playing. I'd change nothing. Just lovely.
