You have a perfectly playable web version, so how the hell is it possible to have rated more than 300 games and only have less than 50 votes?
I though there was something in place to prevent abusing the rating system...
I love that one. The audio is fantastic, and the timing was perfect: the boat came back just as I was starting to get tired and was struggling to stay afloat. Was that intentional, or did I get lucky?
I have to admit I was expecting less from a game that was submitted this early : it feels more like a complete game than most of the entries submitted this far. Good job!
17'581... That game really hooked me I guess :D
The theme is pretty well used (even if poorly justified ;)), the graphics are ok, the music fits perfectly, the powerups have noticeable effects, the hero is... just awesome
The controls are unusual and still feel natural which is great. It took me a couple of tries to actually get it actually , but after that I went on and rocked the house :D (and it actually felt a bit easy)
All the elements of the game come together really well. It truly has some epic moments (room filled with bullets and explosions? Bullettime activated? Let's just phlegmatically drop a "I am... on fire" when that last bot explodes :D)
One note on the bullettime btw : awesome during a fight, a PAIN when the room is empty :D
@N0_Named_Guy : Isn't it a bit harsh? LD is not a contest and rules are merely a general guideline. Sure the guy should have posted in Jam, but he still did an awesome job for 48 hours and deserves better comments than yours (you sounds like you want to punish him tbh)
I hope that you are not on a personal crusade against those who used free sounds assets (which probably is 80% of the people who didn't use bfxr ;D) or those who don't post their sources... because you have a looong road ahead.
This was... unexpected.
This is not really a game, nor this is hardly an interractive story : for what I can tell, the story is yours to imagine.
You start the game not knowing what to do... and before you know it, the screen is black, a single happy face pops for a seconde, and you are left with an odd feeling.
What was that all about?
Strangly, my 2nd playthrough (after reading the spoiler and comments) left me with a real sensation of loss. I guess this is because I was "supposed" to feel that way.
I think this worked well because both the audio and the pacing were very well done:
- Playing a few notes when something happens in the game is a VERY nice touch. They fit the music perfectly and capture the meaning of the action.
- The dog disappears just when you stop running around with him, and you are given enough time to experience the loss before the screen turns black (but not too much time)
Also I agree with the comment saying you should add more interractions, especially with the dog. This could lead players to forge a stronger bound with the dog and actually "get" the meaning of the game on the first try.
Nice job, this is the kind of game you remember for a while.
Man this is my favorite puzzle-game entry so far. Really clever! With those mechanics there is room for a great diversity of challenges...
Too bad you couldn't come up with more level, I was really disapointed when I realized I had already reached level 10 :(
Waiting for that "extended" version!

I didn't realise you could juggle the ball at first, but once I did I had a blast :D. Super fun game, really well done!
I unlocked Sangoku and Duke Nukem, but not sure how. Didn't see the 4th character
