Looks good, but not really that interesting and obviously buggy.

Looks good, but not really that interesting and obviously buggy.
Really fun and original puzzle game. Graphics are awesome too. I would have like some more levels, though, because I finished this game in three minutes.
After 7 tries, I still couldn't beat the second level.
Really fun but challenging game after you get the hang of it. I don't get the people who say it's simple.
5/5
Funny getting attack by blocks. didn't see it coming first time. Too bad seeing no bullets coming out off my glock.
The blocks can take a lot off bullets and spawn too close.
I'm at a loss for words... Just, wow.
The harsh reality when you betray someone you need.
Aside from the sometimes wonky collisions and the ridiculously low framerate with hundreds of bullets, it's a very fun and awesome game.
Chests dispersed rather quickly, so opening one was kind of random for me. Fun game, though.
I just punched everyone. Hey, it's a punching game. :)
Super awesome game!
All levels took several tries (and a lot of frustration), but I managed to make it through 4 or 5 levels and I really enjoyed it.
Awesome game. Orientation is a bit hard sometimes, so mostly you'll just fly forwards.
Really fun game. Although, sometimes it's a bit annoying that you can't change direction while moving.
This game makes me feel bad about giving 5 stars to other games that were nowhere near as good as this.
It took me several tries to get over the first bridge. After that, I figured it out.
Awesome looking game!
Good idea, mediocre execution. After 3 clicks I was game over. I could not find a way to restart the game after I lost, other than reloading the page. Replayed it several times, no difference.
Aside from the counter-intuitive scrolling, the game was really good!
Not sure what the point was, but I liked trying to find out what the biggest shape was. I went upto 50 (with timer increasing accordingly), but the biggest shape was 32.
Awesome looking game, textures and animations look really good.
Multiplayer games are never a good idea for ludum dare games, because the few people that do play your game won't spend a lot of time doing it.
Totally frustrating but fun!
I had to do the first level like 5 times, but after that managed to complete the game.
Great art for this game!
The adaptive audio was very cool, but it was getting on my nerves. Great game, however!
Not really finished, but nice game. Also very easy to learn/play.
Awesome game. Is there any way to regenerate health?
Wow, this is really hard. Kudos to anyone who can make it.
Really gave me an old DOS-feel! I loved it!
Wow, this game has a tough learning curve!
Ugh... Playing this dark game on a bright white webpage was kind of hard on my eyes.
Nice game though!
The game is a bit slow for my taste, but I really liked the graphics!
Still a bit buggy (it didn't recognize some of my deaths) and quite short, but a nice game.
The controls were kind of wonky from time to time, but overall a nice game.
Awesome game!
I originally played it before the bug-fix. It took me about an hour to finish it. I had several iterations where my evo's cleared the entire map of resources.
Nice game, but the controls got stuck sometimes.
Horrible controls, would work better with controls for two hands. Also, web link is more a download link.
Very fun little game.
Is it possible to jump over enemies? I could not do it.
Looks more like a compo game than a jam game, but it's fun nonetheless.
After a few games, I managed to figure out how not to lose in the first week. Quite hard, but very interesting.
Either this game is quite hard, or I don't know how to play it properly.
Really fast-paced game. Fun and very well executed.
Nice game. With a few bugfixes (cannot build in top right) and some balancing tweaks (scrap is useless after filling the map with towers), this could be a fun game.
My notes didn't really line up with the rest of the music, but it was fun anyways.
A minimap would probably make this game a little clearer. Otherwise, nice game!
@kaa: The trees were made in blender. They are simply a combination of a shape called icosahedron and a cylinder.
@hoythoy: (R)Ctrl and Enter are really close on my keyboard, there's just a shift between them. To complete missions, talk to all the characters. They will tell you what to do.
@Kayelgee: There's no ending, mostly because lack of time.
@Tosic: The physics are standard unity. Either they don't work properly or I don't know how to use them.
@Dry Tree: We did not place markers on purpose, exploring is part of the fun!
The art style is amazing. Too bad i'm not good enough to play this with more than 3 characters.
Also, I would love to see some youtube movie where someone manages to have 6 or more characters.
Yeah! Managed to escape the city on my second try. I think the last level had a spare shopping cart.
Anyway, great game!
Nice game, although it was a little annoying that the spacebar scrolled my page.
@jmborden: If you have trouble with the right mouse button, you can use the middle mouse button too. I'm not sure if you have one though, since you're on a Mac.
Really nice game!
So frustrating!
Here we get to see all the advantages and disadvantages of procedural generation. Nice game overall though!
I came here from the Button Masher Bros and I really liked your game. Occasionally my GTA2-brain would ruin things (up is forward, and not up)
The fact that I was bad at this game did not bother me, it looks great!
I think this is the weapon assignment:
Yellow is shovel
Orange is lightning
Red is snowball
Blue is Molotov
Very funny, even though it's short.
My best was 7. Can anybody do better?
One of my friend managed to get to 22 (after playing for 2 hours)
@andrew: You probably moved over a spawn point while somebody spawned.
Yesss!!! All 12 levels complete! Great game
The rotating lines are a bit unpredictable, but otherwise a good game.
I disagree with @OnlySlightly about the visual style.
But the game was fun!
The background (and the parallax scrolling) made this game for me.
The animations could use some work. But the game looked nice.
Controls in web version didn't work for me either, both in small frame and full screen.
I basically just clicked everywhere in the screen and got a score of 25.
I also thought the framerate was a bug, but I guess it's an added challenge.
By the way: Sound effects can be created in 2 minutes if you make some funny noises into a microphone.
Great graphics, although the camera was a bit annoying for me.
This game showed me that I need more gamer-friends.
Great fun even though I never actually made it to Troy
The screen in the web version is quite small, so I could not see everything. But overall the game is really interesting.
Stupid Ana, running away with our food.
It's a bit slow, but a very good game nonetheless.
I got stuck in the cycle.
A map would have probably helped me, but I don't play a lot of text-adventure games anyway.
It was fun to poop everywhere.
Snake 2.0!
"Yes, you are." x57 before I gave up
For me it turned into a 'pick up everything'-game.
Very fun to play.
The darkness and the collisions are what make this game a bit harder.
Thank you for your nice comments. I assume most people end up in the 30-40 second range. There is no sound because there was no time left.
@ChaosCult: I guess the smaller birds think the predator is a monster :)
@pumpkin: I started on sunday afternoon (european time), so there was no extra time.
Hilarious game and very well done
Wow, this game feels very polished.
The scoring system makes it a nice competitive game.
This game is hilarious!
Hilarious!
Very short, but nice looking. I wonder why you didn't allow voting for graphics.
Also, at your web link you still have to download something.
The camera was a bit annoying, but overall a nice game
After clicking endlessly, I magically accepted a mission, but could not reproduce the result.
If you are going to develop this concept further, I would suggest color coding the stats.
These stupid cops are shooting on civilians.
It took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but it turned out ok.
Wow. It took a while, but I got the crazy woman to get custody.
This game made me very cheerful. It's the art, music and sense of power. I hulk-smashed a tank!
I am the destructor! Kneel before my awesome power!
This game showed me that I would be a terrible dictator. There goes my plan for world domination....
Two games for the price of one.
I saw this game being made and played. It's awesome.
Fixed now.
@zenmumbler: I did include audio, but something might've gone wrong when building.
@Tselmek: You have to match your gun with the matrix next to the enemy.
Spent 5 minutes waiting for something to happen, but it never did.
Nice game.
Please remember that "Web" means you don't have to download anything, but it plays in your browser. You can just upload the file structure to your dropbox.
The jumping sound gets a bit annoying, but overall nice game.
Cats! Need i say more?
Next time, make sure your quickplay links directly to the game. Having to click through a site is a bit annoying.
Anyway, nice experience.
Great game!
I feel there was no skill required from me to play this game.
How can you have health? You're the freaking Hulk!
Very cool game, I really liked it.
Awesome!
Very cute game
I also came here to save the kitten. Always save the kitten.
Your game is nice too.
Very cool game. I made a somewhat similar game, but I can see your arcade look fits better.
I had no idea what I was doing, or why, but I enjoyed the experience.
Goed gedaan, man.
PS: Since your game is made in Unity you should definitely make a web build.
I enjoyed the part where I made things worse for myself.
Big fan of the game, not a big fan of the music.
I had no idea what was going on, but I escaped. Nice voice acting.
Best game ever!
Awesome game. It is a bit frustrating when you try to correct your mistake by getting the correct shape anyway and you make it worse for yourself.
Was it just me or did anybody else have the 'fullscreen'-button over the 'end turn'-button?
Very cool, although there was not a lot of shape shifting involved.
Interesting although unpolished game. I assume this was your first time.
PS: You should link to the google files from this page. That makes it much easier.
Wow! This gets really trippy, really fast!
I followed the progress of your game through your posts, and it looked very interesting. Playing the game, I got pretty much what I expected. Well done.
I did notice a few bugs though. In the third(?) region I could not change shape anymore, and got stuck. (I assume it was not allowed in the second part, but I could not in the third part.)
Also, I was able to jump over the side and fling back to a lower level bypassing some of the puzzles completely.
As I said, well done, you made a very nice game.
PS: A web version would be nice, as it would lower the threshold for people playing.
Nice game. I had to try some levels like 10 times.
I got stuck :(
Boring :(
Welcome to the LD community.
I appreciate the effort, but there's not much here. Sorry.
The gravity thing was so trippy!
@Uliana Galich, did you even play the game?
I died. I must be playing it wrong ;)
This was weird :|
Acceptable game, but bonus points for having a guy called Henk.
Holy crap, it look gorgeous!
Looks amazing, even though I have no idea what I am doing.
Something that hasn't been mentioned yet, but bothered me a bit: When you die, you have to grab your mouse and click twice before you can play again. Space bar or enter would have made this easier.
Overall, nice game!
This is a very rough version. I feel a post-jam version could fix some of the issues.
Playing the game and scrolling through the comments, there is one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet.
If you switch turns, can there be an indicator that the next person has to go?
It's a simple UX thing, but it would make it a lot better. It took a little while for me and my roommate to figure out whose turn it was.
Wow, this game is very good!
First off, I really like your UI (as a guy who cannot design one himself). The music is great, although I feel you never live long enough to listen to a song. Animations and models were good.
My main problem with this game are the car controls. The acceleration and deceleration were too quick and felt very unnatural.
Another simple UX pointer: When I want to restart I have to grab my mouse to click on the button to start again. A keyboard key (like enter) would have made this easier.
All in all a good game, especially for the first time.
PS: +1 for NL
If you are going to develop this further, you could have a minimap that fills when you discover an area. That would help with orientation.
I can't believe nobody mentioned the conjoined triangles of success.
It lacked a bit of feedback (like monster health bars and an indication of arc), but it was fun.
Mark, if you have adblock the kongregate ad at the beginning will not show. Just wait one minute and the game will be loaded.
I actually found your game because mine has the same name. The premise is also the same. The playstyle, however, is different.
Quite difficult, but fun to play nonetheless.
This game would have worked just as well as a 2D game, but fun nonetheless.
One of the best games I have played so far.
Looks great and is fun to play. Well done!
There was no point (that I could figure out) and the controls were a little strange, but the level was nice and the music was great!
Hey, at least the effects are good.
I know the music is annoying. It's the best I could do... :disappointed:
I'm not used to point-and-click games, so most of the game was very confusing to me. A few indicators would have helped, but I guess hindsight is 20-20.
The earthquake effect were really well done.
It's sort of interesting, but I think the area should be bigger for longer games.
Some AI players would also help because you are likely to have about 100 players play your game for a few minutes, over the span of 3 weeks. Actually finding an opponent is very unlikely.
Wow, at a certain point things get really complicated. Nice game!
Could have used a quicksave button. It is still good, though.
I'm missing a bit of visual feedback for how my island is doing. However it looks great and the controls are intuitive. Good game!
This was great!
I have no idea what's going on.... But it look pretty....
Hilarious!
I got 2411.5 It seems that 230 000 is quite hard.
I liked the game and was disappointed that it was only 2 levels. The game mechanics work well and the graphics were good. What I could have used was an indicator near the catapult what my current and previous launch settings are, so I can correct from my last shot.
Also, if you want more people to play your game, play some games!
The web version gives me "index out of bounds"
Looks great. The controls don't seem to work in my version (Firefox). I guess the sacrifice in this game is the lack of interaction :slight_smile:
It feels a bit incomplete. It looks fine, but the gameplay is not so good.
The art was amazing, but it needs some improvements in terms of gameplay. Having to click 10 times before launching a rocket was kind of annoying.
Wow, this game feels very polished. Well done, guys!
This game really feels like it has a lot of content. Very good job!
Not very difficult, but fun all the same :)
Just want to point out that the game feels very polished. Nice work!
Just to let you know, your link is not working.
Correct link is https://simogecko.itch.io/well-behaved-dog
A quick spoiler for the bath bomb: yes, yes, no, no worked for me.
This reminded me of the spore cell stage. Good fun.
Did I just put my fish, doesn't like the cold, into a snowy mountain lake?
Anyway, well done. Any future version would need to tweak the difficulty a bit, but overall a very nice game.
Very well done. I really like the polish on this game. There was even a tutorial and different music in every level.
Awesomely stressful game. I made it to 229 million.
OMG, that was hilarious! I mean, I'm pretty bad at it, but the sheer pandemonium was great! 5/5
First off, love the art style! I like that the tree changes with the seasons. The mechanics were easy enough to understand.
I was kind of hoping my wife would add something to the shop. In a future version she might have a job like price indications (eg "Customers think the love potion is too expensive"), expected feathers or descriptions of the things I can buy.
@arefnue Good point! Left shift is also an option. I didn't mention this because it would become too confusing.
Very well done! I'ts also clear that there is a lot of polish on this game. Small things like the camera zooming out if you stand still.
I agree with most of the people here, but I would like to point out that RTS systems are generally harder to make.
Love the creepy vibe. Well done!
The movement speed felt a bit inconsistent, but this was no big issue.
Reminds me of *Race the sun*. I liked it!
Loved it!
I have nothing else to add after these wonderful comments.
Enjoyed this very short game. The controls were a bit unclear to me in the beginning (didn't read the description), but I caught on quickly.
@antti-haavikko Wow, well done. This was precisely the kind of playing I intended.
It felt like everything was going too fast for me, but it was enjoyable.
Controls are quite complicated, but I really liked this game.
Nice game. Most of the feedback I had was already mentioned by other people.
This game was great! Really liked the puzzles and the music
The game looks great, but the controls are horrible. This momentum based walking isn't working well for me.
Very well done. I enjoyed this game very much.
Nice game, although I felt I got penalized twice when pressing too early. And the music did not always match the arrows.
This game looks very good. I'm not sure why I had to swim around, but the rhythm part works very well.
I feel there were not enough enemies to properly level my gear.
