short and sweet!
nicely done on the sprites, and nice foilage animation..
really trippy! nice distorted shaders, despite the minimal style of textured planes it pulled out pretty good!
Nicely done of the shruiken mechanics..
Good use of pixel parallax (bg layers) niice!
despite only 1 shruiken the bounce-kill effect is pretty rewarding.. well done! (also discover this game thanks to twitch.tv from user: Jellycakes1)
Damn! challenging gameplay but very fun physics platformer. Nice soft-painted environments, really rewarding moments when successfully leap through the obstacles and hazards. Now I'm convinced to look further in Unity3D's 2Dtoolkit (the ropes, and limb-rig physics and all).. Hopefully on sequel or further builds if you would somehow incorporate different characters with its own unique take on their limbs or a co-op gameplay (2 or more players) solve complex platform puzzles..
love it! beautiful level design, good voice acting for elf. (only seal the out-of-bounds area so players don't fall off the world and it's all good!). Love the detonation of the presents(holiday confetti). Would love to see more levels or different scenarios on where this is going.. Awesome job!
Very polished graphics (good shaders), cute character design and it's nice well done platformer! :)
great game-pacing with the particles and speed boost squares.. cute intro sequence and accompanying music track. well done!
I got thrown off for a couple attempts as to what this ropey thing is doing, somehow it's some 'laser' curveshot thing. Nice pixel style and night theme to set the mood. Good music track. Nicely done, challenging and well put together.
nice character design..
nice idea of progressing the levels with single choice of new skills, and I like the companion choice. I had to say it; doge, such companion, much determination, wow!
Very effective with the voice acting (HUD); good call on bringing back the wing commander / Descent vibes. Like the graphics style and its 'minimal' explosions. Now all we need is oculus rift support and it's slammin!
I chuckled at the sound/dialog sequence. Nicely done on the idea of having the ship roll through tight corridors. I could barely get any enemies with the ship's lasers. (auto-aim would be nice) would love to try it out on gamepad/joystick. I do agree that a handful of folks here suggested on an optional skip of dialog or allow checkpoint at some hard-earned evasive action. nicely done!
I had to use cheat-mode to understand what's with the various warning sounds and it all makes sense :) (location by different chime/siren). Perhaps on next build to have an option for a player to add finite amount of mines and hopefully not run into their own. great idea of appropriating sound to gauge surrounding and hazards.
It took me a while to realize how the mounted crossbows work (you had to carry that harpoon). Love the sensation of obliterating those aliens. It would be nice to have the harpoon pin multiple (double/multi-kill) instead of single targets. Well done defense game!
Cute and hilarious!
reminds me of space harrier!
Nice tension with the wall-jumps, moving platforms and sneaky spikes (sharp tall grass). Kudos on multiple themes (music, colors and 'mechanics' tied into this 'minute-platformer')
nailed the theme! beaten all the way through. nicely done!
the build with sound is very buggy after tutorial level.. ("Gandulfable" read:un-passable)
well put together! good pixel animations, effective sounds (steps, collides, etc..) nice spear mechanics (embed on walls, deflect by sheild).
Hilarious! pretty frustrating chase but worth it!
(somehow you can remain 'crouch-jump' to minimize the hassle of timing the low-headroom obstacles)
Would be nice to have some sound.. Otherwise nice one!
Nice twist for a puzzle.. Pretty random the items for trade.
Nice idea for 2-player duel.. (both invisible players). Would be neat to also have some movable furniture for cover or to throw off the opponent.
hands down! I love the style, and simplicity of this RPG! this I could definitely see as an mobile port. I only wonder if you could do another build of this with more classes! (as many as imaginable!)minimally slick-wicked work and congrats!
pretty far out schmup mechanic.
nice style (reminiscent of Wipeout graphicdesign; trippin')
really interesting attractors, and particle effects that tie in some neat tension in the game. Would be neat to hear its sonification of this game (sound effects, music-track) nicely done!
OMG this potato is tricky to control lol..
pretty challenging 'endless-scroller'.
good idea on minimal controls: just spacebar
Nice execution on minimalism theme mechanic.
more challenging on further stages.
good idea, requires patience to precisely place the block for lemming to iterate its turning direction..
Somehow couldn't solve 1st puzzle :/
nice idea for toy mode!
a round of mini-games does fit well for execution of minimalism theme. Charming!
Nice twist of intro. Hilarious character design! tricky to attack (most likely get hit by enemy than inflicting damage scott-free).
Great soundtrack and sound stingers for this game!
Very Well done! nice touch that near the end it's lesser of music tracks. and LOL ms-paint weapon :P
well done on execution for theme. Good controls (especially wall-jumping as a pixel). I end up grinding on first 2 levels instead of the 3rd level (magma) pretty brutal with the hostile animals and timing. well done for within time constraints! all its missing is music.
I'm stuck on puzzle#4
I like the idea of reveal/hide layers for this '"find-object"/numbers" game. Nice one!
It took me a while to realize that each side of the triangular ship fires different weapon. somehow the square-chunks weapon only seem to paralyze the stubborn yellow boxes.
I thought from the impression it was going to be a 'lunar-lander' game based from the screens, instead it's a tricky platformer with bastardized yellow boxes. keep it up!
Nice music track, the colorful explosions throws me off when the key sequences are getting faster..
(though it would have been nice to see 'life-meter' or limited lives/mistakes threshold)
Spot on! somehow it subconsciously reminds me of bari-bari ball for some reason (the rotating nodes); (though this game is far different from it) would be gnarly to see multiplayer (or for multitouch screens): 4 players controlling 2 clusters = 8 + AI !!!
would be neat to have an oculus rift version for this!
neat!

Took me a short while as the game auto-loads to realize that the "weapon as a jetpack" mechanic would apply to the fluids [I'm familiar with the machine-gun jetpack from Cavestory or Jetpack joyride]; (I normally do quick playthrough without instructions first and I didn't read the instructions for web-embed games especially when it auto-loads and Help/instructions were there. Then I'll read instructions on 2nd playthrough.). Love the purple fluid effects! versatile (flood, fly, etc..) Nice use of tension (adversary progress meter; defense-style progress meter). Wall-jump would be a nice plus or different color fluids for different abilities. Slammin'!
Weapon Shortage by Spaghetti and Meatball 2015-04-21T04:32:00
You guys nailed it (no pun intended) with the theme! at first I thought it was completely broken crafting mechanic until I realized that as long as the items are overlapped to be stapled with nails then it's all good to go, lol.
Smart idea of allowing custom roll to orient the custom creation. Very Effective Replay value (and experiment with lots of items) Well done!

Quite useful as a benchmark game.
Photo Fight! by garrisondarkwind 2015-04-21T04:00:00
Neat idea, like the concept of framing the shots. The development console however is going crazy with all those Null Reference Exceptions (significant lag).
