Nice, tricky though. The simple art style is awesome.
Nice idea! Although it was a little annoying having to close the popup everytime, would be better if it just closed when you went to the next window. Love the hidden stories.
Love the art style! It was a bit strict on where you could shoot from and the targets were a little small, but great nonetheless.
Victory! Great game mate.
Very pretty, elegant and charming. Wasn't sure on the objective though.
Awesome idea, well done. Had similar problems to other reviewers - dupe items, not sure which items were intractable, click hot spots. But it's still a great game.
Simply brilliant. When you get it right and everything falls into play it's awesome.
Nicely done.
Good fun, finished it on my first play through.
Had a blast playing this. My best was 713 days, although the scientist got eaten up pretty early so not much work was done. haha fun.
Such a cute game, loved the whole idea of it.
Great defence game with lots of depth and side mechanics to keep things interesting.
Pretty much ditto what others have said, has lots of potential but the randomness of the blocks fallning kinda limit the strategy element of it.
Lovely artwork + music
Really cool actually, good difficulty ramp.
Sweet artwork mate. Needs to be a little faster, possible upgrades?
Good idea, a little too hard to control and really needs a health / life system.
Freaky stuff man. Loved the special effects
Really really cool. Glad I found this game. Thanks bro
Nice, shame you couldn't finish it!
This game is incredible. Loved it.
Love the feels. Brilliant.
Controls were pretty smooth. Needed a little bit more variation but I liked it nonetheless.
Cool game, although the controls were super sensitive for me? The dude was running like 1000 miles an hour. Maybe just me though.
Liked the randomness of the levels.
Haha, really enjoyed that. I was bossing it.
Nice, eery.
aha funny and cute. Very witty.
Cool, loved the art and the feel of it. The tools flying around was a nice touch. Dying for some sound though!
Awesome idea, the shifting effect was really well executed. Not sure how it fit into the theme though?
Sweet artwork. I did have trouble with the ball getting stuck in walls but other than that it was great.
Afriad I couldn't get it to work:
"Unable to open descriptor file ../../../SpaceMechanic/SpaceMechanic.uproject"
any ideas?
Mate that's really well done for a first go. At least you got the game finished and working, my first try ended up being more of a prototype!
Loved the teleport feature, I can see a whole range of power ups being based on that like if it also cloned your ship and the one you leave behind is controller by AI and kicks ass with you.
Sweet artwork too. You da man.
Outstanding. Top class.
So talented, that artwork is beautiful. The gameplay was a bit too simple, but can't fault you on anything else. Lovely.
Homing missiles are always great fun, really satisfying to use.
The controls were a little difficult to get my head around, it always felt like I was playing upside down and so the best way to play as other have said is to park yourself in one spot.
Would like to see a score counter or a health bar to indicate status, but i'm sure you just ran out of time to add that.
Fantastic job dude.
Looks nice, but as others have said, I didn't really understand what I needed to do.
Is there a limit on the number of parts you can ask for?
If you had more time it could of done with a little tutorial section at the beginning.
Really cool idea, pretty too.
My only critique would be that the shadow effect on the player was a bit distracting, I get the idea but the shadow was always facing in a different direction to what I wanted to look at.
Good job bro
Beautiful artwork. It was a little confusing, I thought I killed the pug queen but it just continued as normal.
Also couldn't fit the whole game on my screen (15" retina macbook).
Great idea though, just needs a little bit more polish.
Ah cute. Love the art + music.
Haha I missed the beginning and thought that Experiment, Water and Feed were actions that the monster was doing. Thought that was a bit weird.
Scary stuff, great job man.
Cute, voice over was awesome lol.
It's all about dat fan mayne. Haha, great stuff.
Beautifully designed, well crafted dialog. Super cool guys.
Great effort in 12 hours. Graphics and sound were quality.
It was a bit buggy (shift didn't restart the game for me always) and the kongregate adverts were pretty annoying. Also jump doesn't work when you were touching things to the left or right of you.
Carboard cutout style is cute, love it.
Awesome take on the clicker game. Would definitely like to play a more polished / balanced game! If you ever release a post comp send me the link bro!
Afraid I didn't understand the clues. Sorry bro :(. Nice art style and the wintery goodness felt good.
Awesome graphics and gameplay. Good fun!
Deep man. Wish there was a little more.
It's not clear at the beginning what you're meant to be doing, I was trying to open the files on C drive for ages lol.
I'm sure I saw early development of this on the blog. It turned out awesome! My only suggestion would be to be able to use space to jump, really not a fan of W or UP as jump keys, but maybe that's just me.
Cute! Great 3d modelling and lighting.
Bloody brilliant.
Fan freaking tastic bro!
Really cool. Although I'd love to see another version with keyboard shortcuts so you can feel like your composing some kind of symphony haha.
I'm always amazed at how people can create fun and interesting puzzle games in such a short time. You da man Zimennik.
This was done really well, loved it.
Nice take on the theme. The player hit box was a little frustrating (dying without touching the spikes) but after you get past that it's great.
Nice idea, the bugs made it difficult to finish though. I'd recommend starting off with a smaller cube too just to break the player in gently. Good job!
Nice idea, the character speech bubbles are funny too. A few more levels would have been great!
Man I was creeped out at first, thought the things behind me were people watching me play the game. Haha, good fun. Although not sure if there's an ending?
Really cool, cute graphics too. Haven't seen a game like this before, well done!
Really nice graphics. Shame that I suck at those tile puzzles though! Love the abstinence from computers idea.
Sweet! Nice audio. Founds the controls tricky at first, but it gets easier as you go.
Awesome graphics and lots of cool gameplay.
Really good, love the art style.
ARGHHH OMG So frustratingly addictive. That last level made my fingers sweat. Incredible.
Nice. Felt so bad when I killed the fish. Gratz!
lol, trippy. Well done bro
What a cool idea! Really liked it.
Super cool, a little tricky on the keyboard though - (z & x). Brilliant still.
Haha such a great game, a little too short though, once you get it it's pretty easy. Loved the ending, great work.
Such rage! This is amazing.
Haha, mental.
That was crazy, and awesome.
Really enjoyed this. You sir, are a great story teller and general human being.
So relaxing, felt like I was really there. That feel when you get perfect - oh yeahhhh.
So deep.
That teleport though, soo sick. Loved it
This is brilliant, the mood is perfect. Such a simple idea that's bursting with character.
Very cool, love the style.
Fantastic game here. So polished.
Brilliant! The only problem I had was with things using up all my stock even when the store room was full. Kept getting stuck with people wanting stuff I didn't have. Also wan't too sure about the roles of the inspectors and security guy? Still, a top top game.
Great job, loved the roll mechanism.
Excellent as always from you sir!
Best game I've played, hands down. Look forward to having a snoop around your source to learn something.
Love this sorts of games, A+ on execution.
Well polished, good sound effects, fun!
>It's really good idea ! it's going very fast ! very difficult to see the items.
Agreed, wasn't too what what to press on. Still, this is a great effort, really like the theme.
Heyyyyy, that was awesome. Completed it too. Could have done with a few more weapon types, but hey, it's amazing for such a quick turn around.
Great potential, love the graphics. A little more tweaking and gameplay and this could be really good. Great job
Haha, love the zombie. Great
Some really cool game mechanics here, I struggled with the controls a bit though. Juggling the space, run forward and e key was quite tricky. But still, it's awesome when you get the timing just right and pull off a neat ass flying kick into an enemy.
Nice pixely graphics, yum. A little too much reading perhaps, but the humour helps alot. Great job
Really cool graphics, nicely done!
Amazing how much you were able to accomplish in the time frame. I love me a sim game, this is great.
Really cool, graphics and mood were just right. Controls were a bit clunky, but kinda gave it that old school gaming feel, before the likes of analog sticks lol,
Cool atmosphere, the colours and sounds were great. Although yeah, restart on die was a pain, especially with the spikes along the walls! I though it was safe!
Soo cute :3. Man, after playing all these serious games all day, this really was refreshing. You have a top notch development team. I think this might even be the highest rating I've given simply due to the cuteness of it.
Well done Sophie, Dad and Son who should not be named!
Awesome bro! Really liked the jet pack, none of this limited fuel business! Visuals are stunning too. Perhaps missing a little more depth in gameplay, but you done a terrific job in the time.
Freaky man!
Such "juicy" graphics, really well executed.
Perfect example of a simple game mechanic that works really well. Such a polished game, super congrats to you sir / miss !
really nice graphics. I was like thor with my mighty hammer, although it felt heavy in my weedly arms. Great stuff.
haha, I could drive that truck all day. box, box, box, box!
Man I was confused, I wasn't sure if I was meant to let the blue guys reach the bottom (so they got ate) or kill them. I seemed to get points when he ate them, but heard a ding when I managed to feed it the brown pixels. Not sure if my scaling was off. Really like the concept though, well done buddy.
Awesome, just wish it was longer + more power ups. The neon graphics and particle effects are really good.
Really cool, title screen is awesome lol. Nice colour palette and sound effects.
Cool story and unique art style. The controls were a bit tricky (shift to run and space to jump), up (or W) for jump would have probably been easier on my fingers. Well done bro!
nice story, got to the end :D. Narration was excellent.
Haha, great stuff. Wish you had more time to finish it off, was starting to get into it. Loved the messages inside.
Sweet graphics, audio was pretty cool. I also got stuck on the green plates level, it might have bugged out but it was if there was an invisible wall in the way.
Sweet game. Really nice art style and colour palette.
Pretty cool, you got alot done in the time! Felt a bit cheated after losing all my upgrades when I fell down a hole though :(
Pretty cool, even if I didn't really know what I was doing half the time!
A little too easy, but nice take on the theme. The grapple hooks were cool but hard to reach in time unless you stayed near the edge.
Sweet graphics. A good entry.
A little confusing at first, but after reading your postmortem it makes more sense now! Great job on the visuals / mood.
Attack controls were a bit tricky, but the game was still fun. The blocky graphics and lighting are v. nice.
Pretty cool, agree with hyouko, I thought you would be able to go below ground when I saw that bridge thingie? Also I found space a little tricky to hit, the up arrow key would have been better IMO. Sweet graphics & audio.
Really good, but definitely feels like it needs a bit of sound, at least for the bullets. Maybe it wasn't working correctly?
Haha, that was awesome. The graphics were great. I got all the objectives but nothing happened? Would have liked to have seen an ending.
Combat was a little too tricky to hit the opponent, but wouldn't say it was too difficult to win. I really liked the content and the idea. Good job
Awesome concept, challenging and good fun.
Everythings really well done - audio, graphics, theme, mood. However I wasn't able to choose anybody. Still, great work!
Smooth controls, great audio, nice vibrant graphics. Great work!
Struggled with the controls, but with the toon shading and water reflections the graphics are amazing considering the time limit.
Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Haha, the boss got pwned, rapid fire rockets! Fun.
Nice, reminds me of Dune.
Pretty deep, nice take on the theme. The darkness was pretty cool too, For the text, I think you could have got away with just showing 3 at a time, and then clearing the area and showing another 3 (instead of the scroll bar). But meh, in 48 hours it's still pretty sweet!
Haha cute. The trick is to swim straight to the bottom, otherwise time you get there you're already out of air.
Well done dude!
Man this game looks great, but the controls were too hard. I just couldn't get to grips with the inverse mouse (up is looks down, down looks up).
I was following your game on the blog, the visuals are gorgeous. Pretty hard at the moment, I'd definitely be up for playing the post-release if you continue it.
Haha, yeah that thumbnail is pretty freaky. Nice one
The fluid motion of the worms are awesome and the bright colours are really striking. Well polished addictive game.
Great visuals and audio. The colours you used were very nice. Needs to be a little bit more difficult, but still pretty fun!
Sweet audio man. I died, the screen went black, it was pretty sad. Poor guy... Great job!
Great fun, got all 3 artefacts. If you set up your diggers fast enough you don't really need the cooling system or the defense, the diggers could do with being a little slower. Love the art style.
Haha, awesome. Had fun playing it, the talking pick up items were great.
LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon (45)
Mecha Cop 2875 by Tuism 2015-05-10T13:14:00
Overall very impressed with how much you fit into it. Great game really. I couldn't really tell enemies apart from civilians, and trying to avoid them just makes the game tedious, much more fun to just kill everything in sight.
Desperately missing sound effects, but other than that there's lots of potential here.
Beacon by SayHiBen 2015-04-25T18:24:00
Quite beautiful really. Only criticism would be the controls were a bit too slippery for me.
Food Fight by jovoc 2015-04-25T18:17:00
Graphics are actually pretty awesome, love the models.
Aiming with the mouse would have felt more natural for me, turning to shoot was a bit tricky.
Defence the castle of dreams by Smirnov48 2015-04-25T18:12:00
Lots of content here, must have taken alot of time creating all the effects.
The dragging mechanic is a bit tiresome, wish you could just click the ground to place it.
Stick Quest by louis.denizet 2015-04-25T18:07:00
Very pretty, awesome mechanic. WASD controls would have been nice, but doesn't take anything away.
Tom-Catch by Saker Games 2015-04-25T18:01:00
Crazy eyes, sets the idea off nicely heh.
The levels were a little too spread out, lots of walking around looking for things.
The Very Literal Fall Of Atlantis by Sergi Montaner 2015-04-25T17:57:00
Great idea, lovely graphics and music. The controls were a bit iffy sometimes - I'd click and nothing seemed to happen. Needed to bit a bit snappier in my opinion. Also sometimes there was literally no platforms to jump onto = instant game over :(.
Could be brilliant with a little more work :D
iRevolution by Suvidriel 2015-04-25T17:49:00
Love this stye of game, love the idea, love the graphics, the music the feels. Brah, I love you.
Gameplay could do with a little more balancing, but I could see a full game in this.
Oddest Jobs by hunttis 2015-04-25T17:43:00
Dat hat trough, it feels so freaking awesome. I actually felt like odd job.
Controls (left and right) were a bit too slippery, but I don't care. Great job.
Fruit Salad (in Space) by SkyWolf 2015-04-25T17:37:00
All round greatness. You da man son.
Shark Farts by aeklad 2015-04-25T17:35:00
As a shark myself. I can relate.
Bravo.
Space Cowboy by jk5000 2015-04-25T17:30:00
Solid first attempt. Graphics and animations are great. Needs a little more in terms of instruction, I wasn't sure if there was a win condition?
Long Live The Great Leader! by iSamurai 2015-04-25T17:25:00
Great, the graphics fit well. Would have liked some audio, but hey, time limits a bitch sometimes :)
Great job
Just a dream... by ajopart 2015-04-25T17:19:00
Great idea, really needs some music to set it off though.
Weaponized Giraffe Simulator by tomdeal 2015-04-25T17:13:00
Pretty fun, not far from being the next flappy bird
Don't steal my toaster! by MrDave 2015-04-25T17:09:00
Cool, the gun felt good, I like it.
So long, Space Hero. by factorial 2015-04-25T17:05:00
Holy shit, this game = trypophobia.
Unique idea, even if it does give me the hibigeebies.
Vampire Slayer Deluxe by iMer 2015-04-25T17:00:00
Yep, the first weapon doing nothing threw me off, but as soon as you realise what the crates do it's fine.
I actually though it was great, you can tell a lot of work went into this as there's actually quite a lot of content: 3 weapon types, 2 monster types, 3 levels and a last boss.
The last weapon was excellent, the lighting, the movement, brilliant.
News Flash by Sunsheen 2015-04-23T22:23:00
Artwork, audio, mood all top notch. Gameplay was solid too.
Would have liked some more levels, and I was able to win by pretty much spamming photos of everything (I guess that's realistic to real paparazzi haha!.)
Adorable animations, great great.
Evil Cupido: Haters gonna hate by Pixel Heart 2015-04-23T22:14:00
Awesome artwork, very cool game.
FYI It completely crashed by macbook twice (chrome webplayer) when pressing restart. Had to hard restart. :/ Didn't affect my vote though, great job.
The Mighty Writer. by Miltage 2015-04-23T22:05:00
Love the idea, really good take on the theme. The typing sounds worked really well too.
Genemon by Pietro Ferrantelli 2015-04-21T12:38:00
Fuck yeah!
Awesome. Not sure if it's a bug but you can merge genemon's with locked ones? At least I was able to get last tier Genemon's super early that way, seemed unbalanced.
Love it nonetheless. Great work
HotMop by sararyCow 2015-04-21T12:30:00
Controls were a bit crazy, artwork is great.
Cleaned that floor up real good
Snake Is Over by Langouste 2015-04-21T12:25:00
Beautiful landscapes, great great.
It was a bit choppy for me, the slow motion effect added on top made the controls very sticky and un smooth.
Cucumbers Shall Not Pass by mortus 2015-04-21T12:20:00
Deep gameplay, awesome for the limited time. I can see lots of potential here, specially as a mobile game. Good job bro
I Saw Her and She Ran Away by Tommyno222 2015-04-21T12:15:00
Love the art work. Wasn't sure where to go after you get onto the roof? The gap is too large to jump.
Radio Edit by dos 2015-04-21T12:03:00
Awesome style, reminded my of Monkey island :).
It's a bit too difficult though I think, the target does'nt move let and right fast enough, so if someone passes you it's almost impossible to get back in time to kill them.
Great job though, audio track is pretty sweet too.
Crowd Control by CriticalMammal 2015-04-21T11:58:00
Looks really cool but i'm not too sure what i'm doing. Ended up just frying everyone :).
Extreme Flashing Fighter by AngrySquirrels 2015-04-21T11:54:00
Haha, amazing. Great job all round.
ICE CREAM by little_polygon 2015-04-20T21:32:00
You guys have created something special. I loved it.
Flail Rider by jushii 2015-04-20T21:24:00
Loved it, art style is gorgeous.
Mosquito attack by Filoox 2015-04-20T11:29:00
Haha, funny man. Got em though.
Shield Maiden by bitslap_ 2015-04-20T11:25:00
Excellent. Saw this being updated on the ld homepage, was not disappointed. Great, love me a shield.
The Song of Aria by sydan 2015-04-20T11:17:00
Brilliant, loved the story driving it. The visuals are awesome.
For me the web player crashed my mac twice when loading. Switching to the app instead it played fine.
Lucid by rxi 2015-04-20T10:59:00
Dude how did you do that effect? It's awesome. So much content, you're a beast.
Great great
Twizards by Nonameghost 2015-04-20T10:54:00
Visuals are cute, I'd of liked a cheat sheet that's always visible to reference.
Great job though, unique idea.
Roll Initiative by Lynx 2015-04-20T10:51:00
Goes to show how great a simple mechanic done well can be. Soundtrack was awesome.
A God's Weapon by DavidErosa 2015-04-20T10:45:00
Nice, the gravity effect is really smooth.
FYI I couldn't get the web version to work, the mouse wheel didn't do anything. OSX build worked fine though. Thanks buddy
TypeFighter by Sheep 2015-04-20T10:41:00
Solid entry, couldn't really fault it. It's a creative idea, as another person said the movement is a bit tricky to do at the same time as the typing.
Love Bomber - The Cult Simulator by Suese 2015-04-20T10:32:00
Very nice, the variety in visuals and cutesy style is fantastic.
Rhythm Gunner by DDRKirby(ISQ) 2015-04-20T10:27:00
Amazing audio, loved the fresh take on a rhythm game. It's pretty hard with a 1 hit kill though. Great job
B000MERANG by TheBigShot 2015-04-20T10:22:00
Pretty cool idea, sometimes the boomerang seemed to pass right through things, but it was still good fun.
Hard too! But that's a good thing.
Badass Inc by deepnight 2015-04-20T10:02:00
Absolutely top class. Loved it. You can't help but interact with everything, the writing is excellent.
Brought back many happy adventure game memories. Thanks man!
ink by quill18 2015-04-20T09:59:00
Awesome work, caught bits of the livestream too, thanks for everything bro!
A Gun That Shoots Bees by ShaunJS 2015-04-20T09:31:00
I saw a bit of this during the steam, it's brilliantly fun and well executed.
