Very Polished! I liked all the visual feedback and sound effects. The gameplay is pretty simple but also surprisingly deep, i.e as understanding how to utilize and control the virgin-whip effectively.

Fun variation on snake. Probably would have been better without voiceover though...

"Let's find all voice-made sounds in the game !" Apart of that, that's very good, I enjoyed the gameplay, and the design and music are nice!

I laughed, I cried, I didn't do very well. The graphics are nice and clean, the sounds are enjoyable, and the music made me feel like a space outlaw. I had fun!

Absolutely charming, love the voice work. Fun too!

The graphics and the gameplay is very solid, and the voice acting is just an icing of the cake. I found it pretty tedious to play though and couldn't get myself to finish it because of my lack of patience. Overall it's a cool game!

Amazing game. The voice acting is beautiful.

sarwin 2018-12-03 08:52

The voice is really cool. Really good game

Took me more tries than I'd like to admit to get a score on this (and it was only a B). I was thinking about it like an action game instead of a stealth game I think. Maybe just me but I thought this was just the right amount of hard, and the fun sounds and music helped to encourage my attempts. Great game!

Hilariously good fun! The voice acting is so so good, combined with some solid gameplay and lot of humour, I really enjoyed this one. Well done!

daniel-abeleira 2018-12-03 11:20

Funny game! The idea is cool

marcellus 2018-12-03 12:22

Loved the audio. Game is pretty hard and I was rewarded with a D rating after failing for pretty much 15 minutes. Wraping the virgins around you seem to work well to carry them around more efficiently. The physics of the game are very neat

akros 2018-12-03 12:33

Interesting idea! :D

seed42 2018-12-03 12:42

"you saved me" - lol

very nice game!

sirnovahc 2018-12-03 13:27

I just love the sounds! Great game!

drikdrok 2018-12-03 13:54

I really enjoyed the sountrack, and the rest was great as well. Good game!

@nick-rafalski Thanks for the kind words. It's certainly simple to grasp the concept, but, I'm happy to see that you found some extra depth in how to optimize your play!

@rolly Thanks for the feedback! I figured that the sound effects might not be for everyone, but, I'm happy that you were able to soldier past them and still found the rest of the game enjoyable!

@arkinrev Thanks for playing! I had grand plans on making a more friendly difficulty curve, or difficulty level selections or whatnot, but, alas, I didn't have time to implement them. As a result, the game is a bit unforgiving. Glad to see that you still had fun!

@jakobthequizguy Glad to read that you had fun :) Thanks for playing!

@no-nate-november Ha! Thanks :) I figured the voice 'acting' had the potential to be real hit-or-miss with players. I'm glad to see that you thought it was a hit!

@nkrim Thanks for the constructive feedback, it's very much appreciated! It's definitely much more stealth than action ;) I really wish I would have been able to present a bit more of a difficulty ramp-up rather than just throwing the player right into the deep end. But, I'm happy to see that you persevered through to the extraction zone! And, for what it's worth, that 'B' rating is quite impressive! Thanks again for playing!

@wongkongphooey I honestly don't think I've ever heard the phrase " Hilariously good fun!" used to describe any of my games! You just made my day :) I'm glad you enjoyed my entry. Thanks for playing and the feedback!

@daniel-abeleira Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

@marcellus Thanks for playing and for taking the time to leave some feedback! And, holy crap, 15 minutes of game play! I must have done something decent enough to keep someone playing for that long :) You're not the first one to note the steep difficulty level. It's something I was hoping to tweak by at least giving the player some difficulty options. But, alas, with 48 hours, that tweak never got implemented :/ I will point out that, as far as I can tell, you're one of the very few people that found and used the 'wrap them around you' technique. That little gem got me out of many a bind during my tests. Again, thanks for playing!

@akros Thanks for checking out my entry! Glad you enjoyed it :)

@seed42 Ha! If I get at least one person to laugh at my silly voice overs, then I consider the Jam a success. Now, I can officially say I've succeeded at LD 43 :) Thanks for playing!

@sirnovahc Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

@drikdrok Thanks for the kind words :) Glad you enjoyed the game!

@fussenkuh Hard isn't bad. I'm from the 80s and got used to finish a game before christmas to get a new one. Nes TMNT anyone ?

rolly 2018-12-03 14:51

@fussenkuh Just to be clear: voice sounds are awesome, and "apart of that", the game is 'only' very good ! I finished the game because it was fun, but I started over and over trying to find all the voice sounds ;)

fussenkuh 2018-12-03 15:48

@marcellus Holy hell TMNT! I most definitely did NOT have the patients in my youth to playing that game. I'm mostly surprised that I didn't break anything the way I chucked that controller on the ground, LOL

@rolly Ha! I completely mis-interpreted the start of your comment. Thanks for the clarification :) You invented a meta game in my game... I love it!

john-gabriel 2018-12-03 18:26

When I saw the title, I was expecting a _very_ different type of game. But this was good too! I'm pretty sure I should not have laughed at those jokes... but I did.

matterox 2018-12-08 13:17

Fun and well polished game! Liked those sound effects) Really cool.
