Good entry! Fun concept. Some of the sounds were a bit rough. Nice one!

bricegraulier 2020-04-21 12:09

When trying to launch the game I get ```call_indirect to a null table entry (evaluating 'Module["asm"]["Hi"].apply(null,arguments)')```

I won't be evaluating badly because of it. Don't know if its an issue on my sad or a bad upload. Try and look into it.

This was really well done, i like how it all fits together. At first i though that the game would be very easy, but it quickly get very stressful and challenging.

kr4xkan 2020-04-21 12:10

Very nice pun on this one xD, it's really fun and challenging to play, nice!!

Hey, great job on your entry! I really liked the simplistic, but neat graphics and the challenging puzzles. Its fun and fast paced, keeping the player on his toes. Great job!

xenoxygene 2020-04-21 12:12

Was quite challenging! Great use of the theme :smile:

Really tight game ! I really enjoyed how you learn how to play the game organically, without having to read instructions or refer to a command list. The controls were really water-tight, and made for a fun and addicting game.

Strenghts : - Great gameplay, taught organically to the player - Cleverly designed level - Consistent graphics

Possible improvements : - the first few seconds are a bit obtuse

All in all, excellent work !

crazybot 2020-04-21 12:13

Simple yet fun, just a lot of people for such a small game lol

rodi 2020-04-21 12:13

This game is so great ! Fun and challenging. Well done !!

lazzydev72 2020-04-21 12:14

Wow Didnt thought it to be so good. love it a lot well made love the machanics(changing the flow of water). i had fun playing this game. the only thing i can recomend is to add a difficulty system (Hard and Easy). maybe i am not good at this game but love it alot. this game dose not need any changes at all. Keep it up.Ggood Luck. :heart:

ladislavodstrcil 2020-04-21 12:16

pretty hard :D love the music

2020-04-21 12:17

Nice game! Difficulty progression is growing pretty fast tho Но и так сойдет :))

goblinkingmatt 2020-04-21 12:25

Very interesting concept. I like how you took the challenge literally :) Game is very smooth, and well designed. My one gripe is I don't like how the direction of the streams automatically revert. I think it would be better to give the player a reason to change the direction of the stream, rather than be constantly resetting it back to the initial state.

Time to feed clowns, but i'm ain't fast enough. Really challenging game, thanks for mood and game expierence

chocolat-endive 2020-04-21 12:27

The gameplay and the level are really nicely done. The mechanics are simple but fun. I can imagine a game made of this kind of mini-levels, with different mechanics (for example, avoiding some kind of object instead of redirecting them to it).

Nice job overall!

picusbgames 2020-04-21 12:28

I love this haha. As someone who used to repeatedly say "Hello, Georgie, would you like a balloon?" for months after watching the movie, this is priceless lol :) The nitty gritty: Everything is quite well done! I like the music, it's super appropriate, the sound fx are a little basic but it's ok it's retro look fits imo. The twist on the theme is ridiculously good (I'd give you 6 there if I could lol). Gameplay is pretty self explanatory and doesn't need a lot more intro but for some reason I wasn't aware my paths were switching off the first time through, figured it out later.

Anyway, great job with this, and best of luck :)

delunado 2020-04-21 12:32

Hey! I like the concept, it is small but great. About the theme, is funny, because we have made a game inspired by IT too. Take a look for IT. Hahaha. Our game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/keeping-it-alive-1

apple-dash 2020-04-21 12:40

Oh, it's really neat. A bit overwhelming, but, I guess, that's the point. The only real issue I have is with the water animation. It's too noisy, so it's difficult to look at for a long period of time

nurk 2020-04-21 12:41

Haha ! Maybe the best Keep IT alive utilisation. x) Good work !

staircase27a 2020-04-21 12:43

Fun little game. Music fitted well with the mood.

louiejams 2020-04-21 12:49

Such a dark take on the theme! Good idea! Controls welland the art is nice :)

brenan 2020-04-21 12:51

Very funny interpretation of the theme ! The gameplay is pretty innovative. Great job !

brachistosauro 2020-04-21 12:52

Great game! Very clearly explained, and immediately becomes very fast paced. Also love the theme

helenejeanbon 2020-04-21 12:56

hahaha nice ! :)

mza 2020-04-21 16:00

First few seconds creepy, then its manic straight after. Loved it! :thumbsup:

drachmor 2020-04-22 00:25

Lol this is brilliant. Love the theme interpretation, and the gameplay is surprisingly engaging. Very nice stuff.

very-dark-lord 2020-04-22 15:52

Ohhhh! I get it now. First I had no idea why IT eats paper planes, and why these small people are running around, and why the water always changes back in random ways. Now I feel stupid and it all makes sense. :) Great that you didn't feel the need (and rightfully so) to explain everything in the game using text but just let the player learn on their own. Even if it took me a minute to see it through, it was a nice experience. Well done! Only reached a highscore of 1500 though, which I assume isn't all that much.

duke 2020-04-22 15:58

Interesting concept, but veeery stressful :) had trouble keeping the boats afloat after the first 5 or 6. It's very hard to keep track of the boats and the water directions. Art und Music fits well und control wise everything works flawlessly. Good job!

bastian 2020-04-22 17:30

I love concept and graphics and the music fits. And I was like: "Oh, someone really did this - and it looks like IT as well!" Also you took one of the most iconic scenes! Sadly I do not like that kind of game - too stressful for me ;-) But good job anyway!

yngvarr 2020-04-22 18:52

Great concept! I like this railway switch kind of mechanics. Looks and sounds pretty spooky. Also, wery well done in-game credits, which is rare for a game jams. :thumbsup:

peterfiftyfour 2020-04-23 09:58

Ahahah can I just not keep IT alive and instead kill it with fire? This a pretty funny and dark little game :D Cool mechanic too. It got pretty frantic near the end. Thanks!

joaog 2020-04-24 03:22

I really enjoyed this game! I like how dark this game is, even if it came from the same inspiration, it is totally different from mine. Hahaha, by the way, we both use the same phrase to describe our games _"Keep IT alive literally". _ Which, as @delunado said, is really funny. If you want to float too, visit my game. Good job!

@bricegraulier Excuse for troubling, can you please tell what browser are you using? I've tried both in Chrome and Firefox (and in Chrome for Android as well), and can't reproduce the error.
