I feel like this concept could be developed into a fantastically infuriating game :)
Really good fun even though I suck! Love the audio. Would get this on mobile. I think simplifying the graphics could make it look more polished visually.
Great graphics and audio. Found the nuances of the game strategy a bit hard to figure out, but had fun anyways.
I liked the story. The feel was good but could be enhanced with some audio. I felt like some of the dialogue lasted too long.
Nicely polished game. The pixelated game over zoom is great. If you're planning on taking it further, some variation would be great like maybe going through different weapons or having a few grenades.
Fun game with some really nice touches. Good job!
Really good fun. Lots of great details.
Took a while to get used to the controls. For me it might be better if you could keep going in the direction you're facing, beyond the pointer (if that makes sense). Fortunately the game itself was enough fun to spend the time to get used to it. Also the guard's mutterings were really funny. Good job!
Really good, absurdist fun! Amazing what you find in those lint trays..
Great idea. Really love the graphics. Very amusing. Could see lots of ways this could be taken further.
The atmosphere is very intense. Made me jump! Love the graphics too.
This was fun and a good take on the theme.
Good game. I like the music and the graphics. Good take on the theme. Couldn't survive :(
Fun game. Very hard to survive more than a few rounds though!
Great game. Super hard in a good way. Hilariously funny.
Good fun. Lovely graphics. Fun trying to hide who you are from the other player.
Good fun. Nice sound and graphics. I liked the way the planet got bashed up and the final explosion. Aiming took a little getting used to.
Nice graphics. Felt like the attacks could have had some more feedback.
Really good game. Becomes great fun when you get into the shaking, glitching, ramped up music section!
I applaud the idea but the characters being so tiny made it kind of difficult. I don't think the photographic background helps, something more flat would make it easier to see the characters.
Good fun. I like the simple game mechanic. The graphics and animations were pleasing - the crowd is really cool.
Must. Stop. haha. Fun and addictive. Nice gfx. Great to see the Unity WebGL export in the wild.
I like the idea of the car getting smaller, but I found the controls impossible to master
Nice details/story. The controls could improved a bit - I couldn't move at all when very small.
The sword slashing is nicely done. Keep working on it!
Love it. Really good idea and the execution is excellent.
Nice idea. Good fun trying to beat it, but maybe the difficulty ramped way too quickly. Would have been nice to get used to the feel on a slightly more forgiving first level.
Fun game. Maybe takes a while to long at the beginning to get into it.
Really enjoyed this. The graphics and music are great and the gameplay feels fluid. Wish I didn't have to wait so long in between bombs though.
Fun idea. I struggled because it felt very sluggish as if something in the code was slowing everything down and couldn't jump high enough.
Lovely graphics and audio. Fun to play. Good job!
Really good fun jumping in and out of the waves!
Great take on the theme. Liked the silly graphics and audio. Fun to play but could be a lot more fun if it was really hard to stay on!
Really like the concept, I definitely think you're on to something there. Feels like it could work well on a touch screen too.
Good tower defense game. Like the upgrade options. Was fun!
Love the graphics and animations. The idea with following the patterns is good and could be developed further. Good stuff!
Fun game! I like the little details like the bubbles.
Really hard! I like the concept and the graphics.
Really good fun. At first it felt a bit slow, but it soon got going once the changing direction and triangles came into play. Lovely visual style.
That was tense! Good fun. I like the various attacks and the moody soundtrack.
That was really good fun. The writing was great. Reminded me of Thomas Was Alone, really drives you on through. Then the ending with the sudden need to hurry was a brilliant surprise.
Great music and graphics. I found the pace frustratingly slow but it was still fun to play.
I really like the idea. It plays well for what it is. Keep going :)
The concept is really interesting. Was fun!
The intro was great. I found the movement a little slow, but it was fun to play.
Love the controls, it felt great just flying around. Lovely gfx. The ending was fun, if a bit sudden!
Really good game. I thought the gfx and audio were very nice. Couldn't beat it on the first attempt but I'll be back :)
Really good game. Great graphics. Found it quite tough having to start from the first level again. Needs audio!
Looks great. I found the easing on the controls way too frustrating, couldn't stop sliding into the walls.
Good, fun game. Graphics are lovely as is the music. Found the controls a bit hard to handle, but I liked that you were doing something unusual with them.
I like the idea a lot. Strangely compelling. After a while I was praying for rain but it didn't come ;)
Great fun. Very hard! I like the minimal art style. Some audio would be a big plus.
Really good fun. I love the art, with the seaweed layer up close and the sub movement feels good. Audio was cool too.
Good idea. I felt like sometimes it threw up impossible blocks, which was frustrating, but was fun to play.
I liked the controls and the wriggly worm movement. Was fun to play. Some collectibles or something to add a bit more would be cool.
Good idea and nice graphics. Some more challenging maps and a restart option would have been sweet.
I enjoyed playing this. The carrot power up is really good fun. The art is great. I like the meters!
Nice work. Lovely gfx. I liked the surprises along the way. Was kind of hoping for an ending, but was fun nonetheless.
Really good fun to play. I like that you immediately get what to do, then there's the nice touches like the monsters and lava chasing after you.
I liked the music. Would be nice if there were a few zombies arriving from earlier on, had to fast forward to get some action and then a tonne of zombies spawned at once :)
Lovely art and writing. The soundtrack worked too. I liked the ending.
I really like the idea. The controls could do with a bit of work: more room to drag at the bottom and maybe some indicator that helps you aim. Fun game and nice gfx/colour palette.
Great audio and a fun idea. Was very hard to get far!
Really good fun. Love the pixel art. The statue is great. The dehydration thing was an excellent device.
I liked the atmospheric graphics and audio. Couldn't find my way out, but enjoyed trying.
Great dolphin simulator :) I really liked this. Lots of fun, the tutorial works well and the levelling up is a really nice idea.
Good idea and pretty fun to play. The dying seemed pretty random - a lot of times when something hit me I expected to die but didn't.
Splendid!
Really like the concept and mechanics. I think if the controls were better it would improve the game feel immensely.
Good job! Surprised to have enjoyed that a lot and felt compelled to beat it. Looks like most of your hour went into the ending :)
Took me ages to figure out, but then I quite liked it. Could be cool to add some features like a time limit or some way of dying if you go the wrong way.
Had fun playing that. Good graphics and controls. Sound would have made it complete.
Good fun. Like the ridiculous art. The different levels are really cool, was left hungry for more (if you'll excuse the pun!)
The procedurally generated world is really cool. I like the whole look and feel of the game too.
I like the concept. The music is lovely. If there were more causes of death along the way it could be really good.
I like the atmosphere of the game and it's a great use of the theme. I couldn't get very far though, even with the hints. If you do write a complete walk through, or set of hints, I'd really like to try again.
Really good fun to play. I like the art and the little touches like the 'stop throwing things at me' messages.
Fun game. Wonderful graphics. Really like the sound effects.
Great writing. Fun game, if a little easy. Good to hear you're planning to take it further.
Really good fun. Loved level 10. Great power-ups.
Excellent. Love the concept. The intro was brilliant. Great art style.
The controls feel great and love the interpretation of the theme. Good fun!
Good theme fit and the writing is really funny. Fun to play.
Nice idea. It got very hard a bit too quickly for me (maybe that's just me!). Good fun!
Love the gore! The atmosphere is great.
Interesting game. The anomalies made it really confusing, but I guess that's the point!
PS worth pointing out that you have to double click the play button (web version) took me a while to figure that out!
Hey JD557, I couldn't really get this to run. The hero just gets stuck on the screen at the beginning of the level. In Chrome I get "Uncaught ReferenceError: mozRequestAnimationFrame is not defined". I tried in Firefox and strangely it kind of worked when the web inspector was open. Hope this helps. FYI you are allowed within the compo rules to makes changes related to fixing bugs.
I like the graphics and controls. Cool having the grenades. Fun!
Ha!
Fun game. Love the crazy look of it. Found the controls very hard to master in terms of aligning with the dust.
Love the intro and the concept itself. If you take it further having some points system for completing puzzles in the fewest moves would be cool.
Very playable, controls feel good. I like the whole look of it with the colors and the trails.
Good game but starts way too slowly for me. Loved the character art, really funny.
Fun game. Nice idea with the paddle.
Really interesting art style and unusual gameplay. Enjoyed it.
Fun, simple game. Well polished. Cool music. Some more dramatic sfx could take it further.
Fun game. Like the thermin!
Really enjoyed it. Was wondering if there was an ending for a while, then... the gun. Good atmosphere.
Fun idea. That guy has some really cool looking furniture ;)
I like the art and writing. Got stuck after a while though!
Lovely writing. Enjoyed playing. Got killed first time, couldn't find ending second time.
Great game. Incredibly polished for 3 days work.
Really great story. Enjoyed playing.
Fun game. The causes of death really make it.
That was a lot of fun to play! Great audio, very funny. I wasn't very successful unfortunately, first time I was killed, second time ended up in jail.
Lovely concept and great fit with the theme. Very relaxing to play.
Fun game. Good art style and mood. Got lost sometimes floating around. Liked the concept, feel like you could take it beyond LD.
Looks gorgeous and was fun to play. It all seemed a bit cute and cuddly until the battle for survival began ;)
Really good fun. Stuck on level 6 though. It got brutal!
Quite good fun! I liked the music and voice over.
Nice mood. Found it a bit confusing, but maybe that's the point...
Fun and funny game. Nice gfx and music.
Wow great game. Took a little while to get it. I thought the ending to chapter one was going to be the end, but there was much more to come. Fantastic!
Love this. Good idea, beautifully executed. Will definitely play again!
Good concept. Bit frustrating at times with unsuccessful clicks but a fun game.
Great game. LOVE the particles. First two levels felt too easy. Overall great polish and a lot of fun to play.
Nice idea. Gfx are really nice. Struggled with the controls. Would have been cool to be able to control the fishing rod.
Good game. Great fit with the theme. Gfx were really well done.
Really good game. Some work on gfx and some sfx would really take it to the next level. The multiplayer works really well, although luckily I as on a team with 2 v 1 :)
Good mood. Couldn't figure out how to get the credits to pay Andrei. Was fun though. Nice gfx.
Very absorbing and fun.
Great game. Fiendish puzzles. Couldn't get past the quarter circle level.
181! I liked the gameplay and message at the end.
Fun game. Lovely art.
You took the minimalism theme to the extreme there! Fun idea. Nice gfx.
Bonkers! I really enjoyed that. Great gfx and music.
Fun gameplay. I liked the simple gfx and controls.
Good gameplay. Quite liked the squelchy music!
Fantastic game. Loved the character animations. Will def come back to play this again :)
Great graphics and audio. Quite enjoyed it. Not sure my spacebar did...
Quite good fun. Could have really benefited from some sound.
I really like this. Cool and original concept. Fun to play.
Good game. Gorgeous looking and like the moody sound too.
Wow I really sucked at that, but had a lot if fun in the process ;)
Good mood. Probably Unity's fault but the fullscreen option actually crashed my machine (Web Player version)!
Worked well. Got a bit frustrated with climbing. The death animation is great!
Really like the gfx and music. You do have to be extremely fortuitous to last more than a few seconds ;)
Very unusual and interesting. Found it hard to tell what was going on for a while, but enjoyed it.
Very minimal! Good mechanic. The little messages added some humour. Finally got the end after about 20 tries on the last level :)
Good fun!
Surprising and cool to see a board game entry. I like the concept of competitive wanton destruction!
Cool puzzle game concept. Would be nice to have more level progression and a maximum number of moves so you have to 'solve' the level before progressing.
Really nice gameplay. Seemed to be a bug where it didn't detect that you got home to your safe after robbing the bank. Would have liked to try more levels.
Fun. I thought the story was great and gfx charming. Wish I could run past seals without having to finish them all off!
Great fun. The bonus gfx is awesome. The physics is bonkers! Just needs sound to be 'finished' imho.
Nice game but very hard to complete against the clock.
Great graphics, good concept and really nice sound too
Nice idea and graphics. Kept falling down holes!
Love the graphics and sound but found the controls very tricky to manage. Nice touch where the pixels help you climb up.
Great game. Really enjoyed the story. Loved the sound.
Like the simple graphics but found the controls really awkward and couldn't really figure out what to do.
Unusual and atmospheric. Good job.
Really good. Enjoyed playing.
Hated it with a passion. Great stuff!
So that's why those aliens kept invading! Loved the back story and the friendly invaders. The gameplay itself felt a little sluggish.
Wow that's really hard! Controls are very sensitive. Like the ASCI. Would be great if it was ever so slightly easier :)
Good game with great graphics and sound. Seemed a little bit buggy, or maybe just hard to know what's happening at some points
Great fun. Like the way it builds up.
Was pretty good fun although a bit easy. Felt like a good prototype version. Definitely carry on working on it.
Fun and interesting game. Found it hard to remember all the controls, but enjoyed playing nonetheless.
Fun game. Really liked the music and sfx. Couldn't help just killing everything that moved!
The controls and gameplay felt good and fast-paced. Insanely difficult! Keep working on it.
Great game. Good mechanic. Had to finish it.
That was a lot of fun!
Really nice game. Got stuck frustratingly a few times amongst the trees, but overall was very enjoyable.
A bit hard to control but other than that a good, fun game
Love the graphics. Shame there wasn't time for a 1 player mode, but still for a first game it's excellent
Good concept and gameplay. Kept me playing for quite a while.
Worked really well. Liked the art. Control system felt a bit awkward, like maybe too many controls for a simple game.
Good game, if a little easy. Found it quite addictive
I liked the evolving graphics and sound, but didn't really understand what was going on :)
Fun, humorous game with some nice touches.
Like the concept and was fun to play especially when it got harder after the first couple of levels.

The Music Box by DDRKirbyISQ 2017-08-20T19:42:26Z ♥ 0
Wow! That was a really great experience. Thanks! Graphics, music and writing were brilliant and all worked really well together. Maybe it's just me but I felt like I could have done with a bit more guidance at the beginning.
Running Out Of Power Plant by oakus 2017-08-12T16:37:57Z ♥ 0
Brilliant idea for the theme and really funny. The graphics are really nice and the physics and particle effects are fantastic. Had a lot fun playing this game, thanks!
Not sure if it was a bug but I seemed to just fall off the world after getting past the big nuclear balloon. Would have been very satisfying to get the guy out of there!
Glowsticks by ratly 2017-08-12T16:13:31Z ♥ 0
Really nice mechanic drawing the glowing lines. I had fun playing this, thanks.
The music added to the relaxing feel of the game. It would be nice to be able to lose! As far as I can tell you just keep playing until you don't anymore at the moment.
Also I would second the suggestion above about being able to draw a continuous line while changing colors -- that would be very cool!
Wayside : A world awaits you by TheCodeFactory 2017-08-12T09:12:51Z ♥ 0
I made it! I found this really addictive and had to finish it -- very impressive number of levels. I like how you started to explore different styles of play within the levels. I liked the simple graphics and appreciated that you had multiple music loops. The graphics for the player character felt a little out of place and if you're taking this further I think it might be worth putting some work into it. Thanks, that was fun!
Coffee is Power by Tyler Miller 2017-08-10T09:49:32Z ♥ 1
Haha I liked the idea of a Ludum Dare Simulator game. The instructions you gave here were indispensable and it would have been nice if the game UI could have conveyed what do more clearly. The game was a very chilled experience compared to the reality! Really enjoyed playing it -- thanks!
How I Met Your Great Great Grandmother by PeachTreeOath 2017-08-09T23:59:05Z ♥ 2
Brilliantly crafted all round. Favourite entry so far. Had a lot of fun playing it. Thanks!
daemon by bombjack 2017-08-09T23:00:17Z ♥ 0
Brilliant graphics and animations. The music really added a sense of danger. The 8bit jump and collect sound effects seemed out of place. The difficulty could have ramped a little more slowly! Overall I had fun playing this, so thanks!
No Sorcerer's Sky by TheFlyingKeyboard 2017-08-09T22:52:27Z ♥ 1
I didn't have a clue what I was doing until I read the comments, but after I really enjoyed the game -- thanks! Along with instructions, it could definitely do with a bit more feedback as to what is happening. I thought the atmospheric music was great and the graphics were really nicely done. Circuit boards were a bit of grind to save up for! I got to the point where I feel like I'd upgraded everything and had nowhere to go -- I don't know if there is an ending but it just felt like a stalemate..
PowerClick by Ramlefant 2017-08-08T16:53:53Z ♥ 0
Nice idea. It would probably work well as an actual mobile game apart from draining the battery lol! Some different modes like multiple circles or moving circles, power ups and changes in pace could really improve it. Good job keeping it simple and getting it finished for the compo deadline.
MONOLITH by Vodzik 2017-08-08T16:47:23Z ♥ 1
Really nice idea and graphics. I found it very hard to progress very far. More feedback as to what is happening in combat could help.
Long Live The Pig by CTTFOW 2017-08-08T16:29:42Z ♥ 1
Thanks that was really good fun! The graphics are great and the writing really stands out. I failed trying to please everyone!
Robot Invaders by Pedro Romero 2017-08-08T16:20:53Z ♥ 0
Great fun to play, thanks! I thought the controls, graphics and audio were all great. I like the way the creatures would steal batteries as well as dropping them. It got really hectic after a while!
Legendary Space Space Space by Cosmologicon 2017-08-08T15:58:13Z ♥ 4
That was brilliant, thanks! The audio and graphics are great and the ship controls felt good. Bigger explosions would make it even better!
Robby Goes Rogue by Mars 2017-08-08T15:46:55Z ♥ 1
Really nicely made. Was hard to get the right position to interact sometimes and very easy to run out of energy with any slight misstep -- I guess that was the intention!
The Last Frontier by Drag0mir 2017-08-06T11:57:33Z ♥ 0
There's the makings of a good game there but the pacing felt a bit slow for me. It's a shame you had to go to work as I think the extra time would have made a big difference. Well done for actually getting something submittable in the short time you had. Take it as a learning experience and come back stronger next time (advice that probably applies to all of us participating in LD!)
Kit Rocket by Ethan Kennerly 2017-08-05T23:20:11Z ♥ 0
Really fun and addictive. Highest score was 4570 lowest was -400. The gunpowder is OP!
B1NMAN_ROFP by davideperozzi 2017-08-05T19:51:13Z ♥ 1
Thanks this was fun! I really like the graphic style and effects. I guess you know already but audio would have really taken it to another level. Also the controls felt a little twitchy. Overall excellent stuff though.
Outside by gelisam 2017-08-05T19:39:09Z ♥ 0
Thanks I really enjoyed that. Took me a few tries! The writing was excellent -- I loved the part after the first failure. The graphics and quirky music worked well too.
Plug me in by ciobeni 2017-08-05T19:14:18Z ♥ 1
Really good fun and a nice idea for the theme. I thought the music and graphics worked well
From Hero to Zero by pixfixtv 2017-08-04T10:46:21Z ♥ 0
Really good classic beat em up fun. Thanks!

Great stuff. Very fun and funny!
Light Switch Crusader by TedScottPilgrim 2017-08-04T10:06:03Z ♥ 1
Brilliant take on the theme. Love the grumpy mutterings!
LDJAM39: Power Brawler League by Andreu 2017-08-04T09:56:28Z ♥ 2
Excellent game -- had a lot fun playing it. Graphics are great and mechanics really good. Hope you push this further!
Scale of Life by ilya_kozlov 2017-08-04T09:47:51Z ♥ 4
Very nice mood -- made me feel warm inside :)
The graphics, audio and gameplay all work together really nicely.
Space email 4000 by Kosmo 2017-08-02T11:08:43Z ♥ 0
Fun game, if very confusing at first! The emails are a really good idea and the different machines for smashing etc were great.
CryOS by James Dunlap 2017-08-01T19:08:55Z ♥ 1
Good use of the theme. I really like the graphics and ui
Crazy-Power-Rush by Zachary Shah 2017-08-01T18:41:16Z ♥ 0
Solid game. I love the title screen. Really hard but fun.
Yo Ho Ho by Capitals 2017-08-01T18:26:18Z ♥ 2
Really enjoyed playing this. The battles are great, enhanced by the change of music. It feels like something that could develop into a fully polished game.
Dienasty by Eternal 2017-08-01T18:12:57Z ♥ 1
Nice take on the theme. It was initially a bit hard to figure out how to get archers and place them.
I got it though and was able to fend off the attackers! I felt like the action could have ramped up faster with more attackers arriving more quickly.
SnowStorm by Timps 2017-08-01T14:53:23Z ♥ 0
Congratulations on finishing your first game. Good job! Keep going. Some basic sound would add a lot of feedback and feel.
Bear and Bee by ruerob-hyky 2017-08-01T12:32:37Z ♥ 1
Good idea well executed. The scream made me laugh!
