Linux only download :( would have loved to play.

soyrandom 2019-10-07 23:44

I really liked this one! BTW, your link says linux, change it to web

himusoka 2019-10-07 23:47

Thanks for playing and the info! Changed it now so it should be right

carloso 2019-10-07 23:52

This is pretty fun! It's really innovated. There are some rough edges (IE things get stacked on top of each other really easy), but its great!

spiess 2019-10-08 00:03

Pretty nice idea! But now I'm bored with doing nothing.

hartvichio 2019-10-08 12:03

The Things are cute :D couldn't help but think they are filled with ground up meeseekses

goudagames 2019-10-08 12:06

I really enjoyed this one!

eryph 2019-10-08 12:10

Amazingly cool ! Mood is great and art style really worked for me. Good job ! Would get a brain to be bored again.

madeasterbunny 2019-10-08 12:15

I liked the puzzles you made for this game! I hope you make more content like this!!!

namnam 2019-10-08 12:26

Not sur to understand, I try many but i could just made bored and dead thing, I must miss something, I would love to see a walkthrough because the game is good looking and the concept seems interesting.

dimoon-ly 2019-10-08 12:39

Amazing Game! Kind of puzzled when first touching the game, but found it very interesting after some time gaming. BTW, maybe the BGM can be changed a little bit that not be so noisy and annoying when there are several objects summoned?

nightvision65 2019-10-08 13:46

The concept is amazing! Didn't figure out what to do at the beginning so I just tried to put every word on every object and interesting things happened XD.

matthew-engurasoff 2019-10-08 13:50

Fantastic game

dizzy-dalvin 2019-10-08 14:59

Great idea! Reminded me of Scribblenauts. Couldn't beat it, though. At first the things were shooting themselves when I gave them the gun, then for some reason they stopped doing that and were just ignoring it.

arkinrev 2019-10-08 18:21

Awesome work on the "Nothing" take. The combinations were interesting and I kept hoping to find more of them.

excy 2019-10-08 18:35

Reminds me of doodle god games with experimenting, I couldn't tell how far I actually got but it's really fun, I love games like this

hiro-e 2019-10-08 18:59

I don't quite understand what needs to be done :(

dk5000p 2019-10-09 01:05

I couldn't find any combinations to move forward but I really liked the artwork. I figured out how to proceed but not sure if I made it to the end.

maxymax 2019-10-09 07:37

LOVE it! I saw this a couple weeks ago and mentioned it to my partners, but we didn't have any design ideas for it!

I'm sure you'll love this, too https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/dcc9hu/how_to_turn_a_pineapple_into_an_apple_pie/

mikethehuman 2019-10-09 10:10

Cool concept! I like the moody music too.

toad 2019-10-09 10:12

Really awesome and creative take on the theme! Really well done!

steffo 2019-10-09 10:14

I won... nothing!

I'm curious about the full list of words... Are there more than the ones I discovered?

ryano 2019-10-09 10:15

Great concept. Really enjoyed trying the different combinations to get to the end. Well thought out and charming little game. Well done.

hare-software 2019-10-09 17:04

This is such a cool concept that was executed very well. The graphics are cute and the way that the game progresses motivated me to keep going to find more words. Well done to the team!

bryvox 2019-10-10 02:13

This game is really cool! Took me a minute to fully understand all the different combinations,, but it was rewarding when experimenting further. The art style and music were great too. Awesome use of the theme :)

farlandwinter 2019-10-10 23:31

Best game I ever played in Ludum Dare 45! It's innovative and fun! Love the idea, art and music, and the little puzzles in game are interesting (though it took me some time to figure out not+dead=zombie lol, it makes sense) Very cool mechanic!

selkkie 2019-10-11 12:33

This was awesome! I adored the concept, I would love to see it expanded upon- it ended all too soon! It was a bit tricky at first, until I tried using not twice in a row- super creative and a satisfying discovery. Well done!

imphenzia 2019-10-11 22:28

I am not quite sure what I was playing =) I summoned some things, zombies, and brains were eaten, but I failed to make many conclusions of what the objective was - if there is one? I scored it higher on innovation though as it was more innovative than my brain would comprehend at this time!

taddl 2019-10-12 12:45

Nice concept, feels like a mix between Scribblenauts and Alchemy like games. The art also is really nice and goes well with the feel of the game.

It would be nice to have the option to continue after you reach the end to see what else you can unlock and the second time I ran it for some reason the things stopped getting bored or interacting with anything in general which made it impossible to finish the game, though I have no idea what triggered that bug.

keppu 2019-10-12 18:14

This is an unique take on the theme. Intro transition to the game was superb. :smile:

Dynamically changing music was nice. Reacting to player choices. Often the music got a bit distorting when there was lot of zombies and things at once..

Graphics are nice and use of colors is well though of.

I like how things evolve and that there is quite a bit of humor involved. I laughed when my things decided to shoot themselves in their boredom. But at least computer games were born out of that boredom!

Well done team!

welliton 2019-10-13 16:35

I liked how you can add words on those things and evolve them, unlocking new possibilities. Its a pretty unique concept. It felt for me like a MUD game with a Hud! Awesome job!

weine 2019-10-14 17:59

Very cute and clever. There is nothing quite like it!

geckoo1337 2019-10-14 19:12

Neat and clever. Well done ++

johnnysix 2019-10-14 20:03

Wow, this wasa surprise! I was about to close it , thinking it was just random words, but glad I didn't. Excellent work with the evolution / word play. Bonus points for the musical themes - the similar / related themes for the characters ( not giving spoilers ) were very well done.

Great stuff.

burakkurkcu 2019-10-16 10:11

one of the greatest interpretation of theme I saw, congrats! packed with lots of surprises, but most effective thing on me is that I jumped in the thought train after seeing people got boredom and do things out of boredom.

ploy 2019-10-17 18:17

Good game) The first puzzle is harder than others :D

nordicebear 2019-10-18 14:04

interesting concept but in a good way. it took a while to figure out first part but after that, it wasn't that hard.
