Just brilliant on every level. Love the minimalist aesthetic. The best thing though is how every level is a new iteration, a new twist on the basic mechanic. Really well done.

Great work, and thanks for shipping a Linux version. Looks really nice, didn't come across any bugs. The sounds were funny. Music would have been great, but you must have already been pretty stretched as it was! Very impressive entry IMO.
Seems cool but kinda buggy. I liked the music and the art style, but it was a bit too "zoomed in" for my tastes. Seemed a bit "flatter" than the usual isometric projection; a bit more top-down would be nicer. Controls a bit clunky, some hot keys would go a long way to making it more fun. Also, in game instructions would be nice. At first I didn't understand that you are supposed to surround the llamas.
First and third time I played the dude got stuck when I tried to click on an adjacent animal. Second time it crashed (on Linux):

Absolutely beautiful. Lovely art style and music, great mood. As @vfabien21 said, the tone of the game really ties in with your slightly sad messages about not having time and being unfinished. Obviously there is no real game it, but I really enjoyed my time with it.
Also thanks for doing a linux version. I'm currently on my Linux machine and may not have got round to playing it had there not been a linux version.
Wow, really fun, just my kind of game. Great variety of enemies, powerups, etc. and hit the theme on the nose. Great art, great sound, well done.
Minor complaints:
Would have loved some 8-bit music with this, could have been amazing.
When using WASD for controls, you can usually have the option to handle the keys by scan code rather than by letter. This means that weirdos like me who use an odd keyboard layout (Dvorak in my case) can still use WASD in the traditional location without having to alter their keyboard layout.
Lost control of the mouse a few times when the cursor went outside the window. Tried to work around this by fullscreening the game (Alt+Enter), but that caused the guy to run off the edge for some reason.
All in all though, probably the best one I've played yet. Nice work.
Looks beautiful and great music. I like the loot theme. Great job!
Gentle criticism now: I could have done with more feedback when getting taking damage, a red flash, sound effect, etc. Couldn't figure out how to use potions. I think dragging the icons is not great UI, just clicking on them would have made the gameplay feel smoother IMO. I think predictable scaling difficulty would be better than random slimes.
Hope that makes sense. Again, very pretty, and great music.
Really embodies across the true spirit of the season!
Awesome! I lol'd
Very nice. A load more levels and I could see this doing well on touch devices.
Some sound would have been nice. Also I thought the link to the theme was a bit tenuous. But great job overall!

Scapegoat by aurel 2018-12-18T21:22:03Z ♥ 0
Best sounding game I've played in LD43, and one of the best looking. Brilliant work with music especially! I'm not great at puzzle games so I didn't make it too far, but I think this is a really nice effort. Congratulations!
Mr.Geek by Diego Burgos 2018-12-18T21:13:36Z ♥ 1
It was fun to do a quiz, but the bit with saving people felt pretty random. But it was fun reading the stories of what happened. Nice work :-)

Nice job. Art and sound were great, although the scrolling and movement were a bit choppy for me. I really liked having the different pilots, although it would have been cool if the ships were different in some way, either in mechanics or just in looks, to drive the point home.

Sadly I couldn't get it to run, either on the web or on Linux :-(
Fight of glory by jkniest 2018-12-18T20:11:43Z ♥ 1
I like the idea, but I found the gameplay a bit too slow. Hotkeys would be great, like someone else suggested. Nice to have music but it didn't seem to fit the theme very well. Throwing people into a pot of lava between levels was hilarious. SMASH ATTACK!
Stand On Dignity by pndaa 2018-12-18T19:59:41Z ♥ 1
Loved it! Nice commentary on the unsung heroes in these stories. The knight was such a dick, and Sam was such a hero. I would play a lot more of this game if the mechanics and challenges continued to develop. Great music and sounds. Fun graphics fit the tone of the game. Brilliant connection to the theme. Great job!
The Lost Company by Whismirk 2018-12-18T19:47:31Z ♥ 1
Sound would be great. I thought it looked great, and the idea was interesting, but I honestly couldn't get into it, I'm sorry to say. Not sure why, maybe its cos I wasn't sure what the goal was.
Very happy to see a Godot game though, and thanks for providing Linux binaries!
Sacrifice Party by Tornoz 2018-12-18T19:39:20Z ♥ 0
Lots of fun! I enjoyed summoning cthulu. The drawing mechanic was pretty cool, managed to get perfect on one of them. Quite different from anything else I have played this LD. Was a bit sad when I summoned Satan cos he didn't have any witty banter like the lesser demons. The other thing that would have really brought this game to life would be some sound! Great job.
Hell Well by Incredible Ape 2018-12-18T19:22:16Z ♥ 0
I like the graphics, but real shame about the lack of any sound. I personally found the controls way too loose and fast, but maybe I just suck at video games. I guess it would be better if difficulty ramped up gradually instead of being at 100% right from the get-go.

Flock of Salvation by Juutis 2018-12-06T20:51:06Z ♥ 1
Looks cool, really like the art style and camera work.
I found the controls too difficult. It was too hard to hit birds, felt like I was doing it by accident. Then it was really hard to throw the birds in the pit. It gets increasingly frustrating as there appear more and more birds. I get that that was probably the idea, but it didn't feel that fun. On top of that it didn't really feel like I was working towards anything, but was rather just trying to stave off inevitable defeat. It would be nice if it felt like there was some way to win.
Good job on the visuals though :-)
God of Fingers (HTML5) by Dining Philosopher 2018-12-06T20:35:51Z ♥ 0
I enjoyed this, it took me a little while to figure out how to play properly. found it quite tough. Unfortunately I didn't have the willpower to see it through to 42 sheep, does something happen? Good job, especially on sound design :-)
Noroi by Drauthius 2018-12-06T20:21:02Z ♥ 2
Nice look and sound, the music especially. Like others, I had some occasional trouble with clicks sometimes not registering. This was quite frustrating because it could be the difference between life and death!
It also feels like it could do with some additional mechanic so it wasn't just a click-fest. Like bringing more of an actual fighting game into it, with more sophisticated movement and block mechanics. Obviously that's a bit much for a game jam though!
The behind-the-scenes numbers could probably do with a lot of balancing to maximise how fun and satisfying the game feels, but that probably requires quite a lot of playtesting.
Anyway, great job, moreish gameplay, excellent art and sound, but perhaps a bit too difficult? :-)
take me up! by minelsaygisever 2018-12-06T20:06:32Z ♥ 0
Probably me being stupid, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to run this on Linux? There's an exe, which can't run on linux without some sort of other program to run it. Please let me know, I really want to try the game!
JellyWay by auxC 2018-12-06T20:02:22Z ♥ 2
I like this game a lot, so I'm going to be quite critical.
I found the left-right movement a bit too sensitive. Given the amount of spikes everywhere I think the movement needs to be a bit more manageable.
The individual visual elements are all great. The background, the silhouette of the actual level, and of course the block people. However, they don't really hang together cohesively, from a visual design standpoint. The characters are cartoony and fun, yet the background is reminiscent of grim moody games like limbo.
Likewise the music. Very beautiful, if its an original composition then I'm very impressed. However, as with the visual design, it didn't seem to fit.
Overall, the audio-visual design of the game is not cohesive. So even though all the individual elements are well done, it kind of falls flat in terms of making an emotional impression.
The best thing about the game is the level design. I've not finished the game yet, but so far I'm very impressed. I think you could really make something of this game. You just need to focus on a cohesive mood, and add a ton more levels, gradually introducing some new mechanics as you progress. And tighten up the controls a bit :-)
Like I said, I'm only being extra critical because I actually really like the game. Good job, everyone on the team should be proud :-)

Pretty crazy idea. At first I was like wtf is this, but when the circular saws showed up I thought it was brilliant. I found it pretty hard to control though. Good job :-)

Stunning. I can't believe you did this in 72 hours. Brilliant concept, great story and exposition. Tasteful visuals, excellent sound design. Ending got me in the feels. Loved the inaccessible options. The best thing I've played so far.

Quite impressive physics, cool art and sound. I couldn't finish that 4th level, pretty hard. Good job :-)
