Nice Game! I like the audio, but got a little bit lost with the space bar and moving the boxes... =/

Had issues with the boxes and then died shortly after :( although very fun gameplay overall

I escaped! Got stuck to a box on one playthrough, and the fire was hard to extinguish without getting hurt by it. Overall, it was a fun simple game.

Had a lot of fun playing through this, my only complaints would be that the Player hit box caused me to get stuck a lot trying to go left or right into 1 square high paths and that the sludge doesn't pop out as something dangerous very well, Others have mentioned the boxes and i would also add that i found it very difficult to putout fires without going far enough into the flame squares to cause dmg to me.

good music, hard to control and I got stick with boxes some times, I had to restart the game which is frustrating but nice entry!

Pretty cool little game, love the theme too. I also had issues moving the boxes around which slowed me down quite a bit. I think if you could just improve that one mechanic it'd be great!

Explore in darkness with time limit is a good idea. The time limit pushes us goto unknown darkness and explore. That's the basic idea of survival games/

The collider of character should not be as tall as the character. In most games the character's upper body can overlap with the walls.

The music is good and appropriate. I love that music.

Cool game - its hard to challenge in the dark.

Neat game! I had issues with moving boxes, with my keypresses not picking up the boxes, and also with getting stuck on hallways, But it was fun good job!

Pretty humorous game! I like one liners that our 'hero' says after doing something 'New keycard for Chris... Chris needs a new keycard'. Graphics and audio go well together and create this goofy, silly mood. Gameplay is pretty neat and player feels the time pressure although when you die you have to start from the beggining, some checkpoints would be nice. Collision detection could use some polishing, sometimes it's hard to get through doors. Pretty fun game with a charming mood, good job!

Dont have to say sorry for our eyes because of the art, I actually liked the pixel art style, it is kinda of a cool puzzle game, with some good humor suttf like the quote "Nothing but cat pictures" lol. The soundtrack is amazing, the piano menu song is really cool and the gameplay music it is perfect because is kinda fast and fits the idea of that the player is running out of time. The only thing I did not like was that lack of a restart button, but besides that is a great game, great team work !

E show saber que tem um BR no grupo, mandou bem na musica, parabens !

A fun game, the music and style make for a good mood, the art is, while not amazing, good enough to where it doesn't take anything away from the experience. Puzzles were good, but walking through doors was hard. The players hitbox shoul've been probably 60% as big, and it would have eliminated a lot of the gameplay problems. It was really hard to put out the fire, i did not know how to do it, but i managed to do one (and yes i had the fire extinguisher). Some visual feedback when we could do it and maybe a sound effect when we did would've been nice.

But GJ!

Hey @aaranos @crhis, @e-jp - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=6035), It was fun, a little challenging, unfortunately I hit the box bug a couple of times (I was playing the fixed version, so.. yea..) Overall it seemed like an interesting game and I'll probably give it another go when I'm having a relax for myself, and see if I can find the story about why the planet is going to explode.

A nice puzzle game that fits in to the theme of the jam. like the graphical style of the game and the chill music in the background

rocketship 2017-08-09 06:21

This was interesting, I haven't played a lot of traditional puzzlers like this in this LD so it was nice. The general atmosphere of the game was well crafted, the setting of the game was exciting. The puzzling was made a little bit harder by the awkwardish controls but there were some nice ideas there.

The computers were a nice touch there and I enjoyed the little jokes there, although I think there should have been only one action button. Now it was a little bit weird to start reading with a different button and proceed the text with another.

I like the concept of the game! I also loved that you had a choice between fixing the problem or running away from it. Most games only give you the one choice, or pretend to give 2 choices. The positioning of the character and boxes was problematic though. You had to maneuver boxes and the player in pixel-perfect fashion as everything barely fit through the halls. This gave unnecessary frustration. Overal, a good team effort!
