Awesome game! Very creative and the music fit very well. By far the best game I've played so far( although, I've only played about 5 :) )

The pixel art is amazing!The concept kind of reminds me of star wars, trying to shoot down the deathstar, haha. Great game.
@bfft:
Updated with Mac port!
Wow that was a really cool game with some interesting concepts! The zelda puzzle was especially tricky, it took me a while to figure that one out.
Dang it I was so close to beating it!I can't seem to finish off the red monsters! This game is challenging and really addicting. Good work!
I played this with my brother, we loved it!
Sure! I have uploaded the game here:

Thanks :D
Holy crap that was awesome!The kick back from the bullets made the ship feel super powerful, nice touch! Amazing music too, everything felt so well put together. Maybe I wasn't playing quite right, but I felt like The triangle pieces didn't do much except make my ship bigger so it could get hit more easily. Was there something that they did that I didn't pick up on? Either way, awesome entry, easily my favorite so far!
Cool!
Hahah awesome game man! Though the graphics aren't technically impressive, they go super well with the audio and the feel of the game. The mechanics feel really solid and like I'm in complete control of whats going on. The shape shifting twist is used really well, I like how you can get through the game without it but its there for those parts you just would rather not deal with. One of the few Ludum Dare games that I actually had fun playing and wanted to finish :D
Wow this is really nice, I really like this take on the theme. Wonderful colors and artwork, the fire effect on the campfire is really charming. Sometimes placing the items can feel a little awkward, but overall I love it!
Wow this is really cool! I liked the puzzle mechanic, it was really interesting to see how it interacted with the worlds and surprised me. The graphics were really nice as well, simple and effective! Good work! :D
Cool! The audio was really cool and fit the game well! The game itself was pretty simplistic and a bit too easy. I don't think my planet got hit before I decided to give up. A good tip for game jams is to make the players lose before they quit. Even if the game is too hard, its better than making it too easy and getting bored with the game. Overall, good work!
Wow this is an awesome entry! It feels super polished, and has a lot of strategy to it. This really reminds me of a board game, and could easily be translated into one. Love the bunny and the foxes, really cool. It would be nice if each tile had its own environment or custom set pieces so it wasn't just a colored block, but you know, time. Wouldn't expect that from a ludum dare game! Awesome work :)
Awesome work! Nice use of controls, they were difficult to get used to but its refreshing to have something different. This seems like it would make a good couch-multiplayer game, bumping your friends off the spider webs.
Nice job! I really like the wacky control scheme, it made the game feel fresh. The audio also worked really and gave the game a mood. It would be nice if there was more feedback for getting hit and destroy asteroids, but overall nice job!
I was unsure if there was anything past the big tree and if the color changes signified anything, but I really all in all, this game was great. Very relaxing and interesting. I loved the look of everything, but the jerky movement of the the top of the cape where it connected with the characters back hurt my eyes a little sometimes.
Cool, nice game! The shader effects are really nice, good work with that. There seems to be a bit of redundancy with the controls, pressing q to do certain things and pressing t to do others. Why do you need to press any button to light the torch? When would you not want to light the torch? Same goes for the locked cage. Overall, I really liked the concept, nice work!
I really like the idea of an audio puzzle, I never thought of that, pretty cool! That being said, I couldn't quite figure out what the puzzles were. I enjoyed listening to the music and figuring out which color was making what sound, but I couldn't figure out what the goal was. Got to the 4 square level and couldn't figure out what to do.
Hey I really like this one. It's pretty light on the gameplay like you said, but it definitely is satisfying watching the little connections take place. It's not super game-y but I think you created something pretty interesting and unique, and thats what Ludum Dare is about :)
