Great game! The controls were a bit tough though (aiming on keyboard) and it would be nice if you were able to switch back to the shovel. I died maybe 10-15 times before i could finish the game, most of the times because i ended up in a confined space armed with a bazooka.
Got to love that jazzy tune!
Charming! I really enjoyed this. Could become fantastic if expanded upon!
That colossus is absolutley shitfaced.
Made in 72 hours together with author SlackBob. More info in this blogpost (I assumed that blog post == submission).

@timtipgames Thank you! We might expand the game and include more of the original ideas and some sound and better graphics. You cannot win the game. The idea is that you go on until the sub runs out of energy. Like the rovers on Mars and alike.
Thanks for all of the input!
I really liked the atmosphere! The sound and graphics worked really nicely together. I didn't finish the game though, after I found tree or four "wake up"-spheres I drifted around for a long while and found nowhere to go.
Nice game! I especially enjoyed the part where you could levitate using the blocks.
Hard but fun! I too got stuck att the level in the screen shot. Is there even a way to solve it or is this an elaborate way of trolling us?
One of my absolute favorite entries so far, if not the favorite. I love that the game mechanics isn't obvious, though it's a little bit tough that I have to play the whole game over again because of a failed murder accusation (but this is to be expected of a game jam-game I suppose). I also love the graphics and audio and the mood they create together with the dialouge and backstory.
Surprising that this gave has relatively few comments, are you working on a post jam-version instead of rating other entries?
I love how nothing in this game fits together, except for the character starting to look like solid snake and the theme song starting to play (you should probably should have opted out of audio) both of which gave me a chuckle anyhow.
Had som wierd problems with fog/shroud of wall covering the left side of the screen starting from the player, and by around age 60 enemies stopped spawning.
Basic idea is sooo good! The game is fun to play as it is now but I can see a lot of room for improvement. With a little more complex and balanced gameplay, and some better graphics and sound I could see this game selling (like Plague Inc.) I hope you keep working on it!
Unique style. Gameplay is simple but pure fun.
"Your snowman is worth -158 points." Aww :(
Quite innovative actually! I liked it. The falling snowflakes and the sound also gives it some mood.
I just wanted to say thank you for your very nice review of my game! Felt good to "go out" on such a positive note.
I don't have anyone to play your game with at the moment but I messed around with it by myself and can say that I really like the graphics, audio and mood of the game. The gameplay seems a bit innovative as well. I believe it could be quite fun to play with a friend!
Nice concept! Could be really good with some more fleshed out gameplay and graphics.
Innovative and fun idea! The game is a bit easy and could do with som more complex gameplay (different kinds of stores, different classes with different needs etc.) but overall a solid entry!
Graphics and atmosphere is really nice ("pixels" could be double in size though, but I think the small size was a conscious decision?). The controls ruin it for me. After 20-30 tries I had only got about waist high on the giant, and then I got stuck climbing a wine on it's forearm.
I like the music and general style. I tried this yesterday but didn't rate because of some bugs and difficult controls. Tried it today but still have a bit of a hard time with it. I also didn't understand how to attack the first few times. Could be really good with some more polish! :)
Quite innovative! The game ran really slow for me towards the end. Probably from all the bodies staying on screen?
This was great! Wish it had some music, a proper ending and an invert mouse option. But I totally understand that this already took a lot of work to finish in 72 hours.
I liked this game! The lighting looks good but does it really add that much? I'd rather have audio. You should keep working on this :)
Idea is good! Not very challenging as it is though and controls are a bit off (hard to hit the doors, sometimes get lift doctor from room when trying to lift nurse). Could be really fun with some more challenge and features to it (simultaneous patients, maybe different medical equipment needed for different afflictions, staff need to take breaks etc.).
Speed. Hoorah. Balls. Explosion.
Played it 4-5 times! Game crashed every time. 10/10 would play again. Shotgun is OP.
Is it possible to survive more than 10-12 seconds? Cool looking turret!
Very nice mood, and cool in a minimalistic way. Very hard though, and I didn't really feel like i had time to follow the dialogue.

Started the game and immediately thougth "I know this style", and then remembered playing "The Westport Independent" for LD29.
Såg ut som ni är svenskar på namnen också? Stiligt jobbat grabbar!
This could probably be a successful mobile title. The gameplay is simple but addictive, graphics are nice and the guitar gives it a unique touch. Definitley one of the better entries of the >90 I've played.
This was really cool! Challenging but not impossible. My only beef was the sound of the cockpit, made it hard to concentrate before learning the mechanincs of the game. Would play a full game :)
I like it! The brownish monster who roars and comes at you made me jump in my seat. Green blobs are not to mess with. Was a bit to hard for me though. Spent a lot of time just being lost not finding the exit (title tells me this is on purpose) and got killed several times by the same monsters.
Quite innovative and a good interpretation of the theme. Cool procedurally generated environments. But to hard for me! Restarted (and resized) maybe 10-15 times before giving in. I'm not good at platformers.
Nice entry! I like the graphics, especially the background on the ground level with the trees and parallax effect. The screen could be a bit larger/the resolution lower though. The game is also quite moody, feels like an old NES-game or so.
I like it!
Mood, graphics and audio are super. Gameplay wasn't really for me. Got three endings.
Story of my life. Not a bad design! Could use some audio.
Smart interpretation of the theme! Had som fun with the game. Encountered a bug where i couldn't shoot and died.
Nice idea, fun, great graphics and music! Did she borrow her sword from strider? Got a bug when i restarted where i couldn't jump anymore. Was using chrome though som probably one of those known issues?
This game is so nice looking and atmospheric! But it's so hard to orientate within the game and to know what to do that I lost interest after the twentieth "Warning !! Something eat you !!" or so. With just a tiny bit more terrain visible (so that you're not walking against walls for 20 seconds at a time) and some more feedback on how to play (i.e. what you're doing there and how to avoid the flesheating bugs) this could be sooo good!
This is something of a masterpiece! Saw your post on the blog and it would be a shame if this game doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's fun, cleverly designed, a good interpretation of the theme and has some really nice plays on classic video games. It's also mega man-hard, but in a good way. Managed to beat it but without unlimited lives I think it would be almost impossible.
My only beefs with it is the lack of sound and music and that you used shift as button to change weapons/items. This made windows prompt me about 'sticky keys' several times. This function can probably be disabled quite easily but I think it would be smoother if you'd used another key.
Oh! And the graphics is really nice too!
Nice idea, graphics, audio and mood. Could do with some more gameplay. As it is now the gameplay consists of choosing a setup and then reading quite a lot of text? I would really like to keep playing when I reach the planet, maybe choose the order to build thing etc. I also think that the log could be more brief. I also couldn't scroll all the way down in the log to read what happened to my colonists.
Clever design! I liked this very much!
This is a near perfect entry. The mood is through the roof. I love the audio, my only beef with the graphics (which is gorgeous) is that the player sprite is a bit boring. I also like how well designed the game is. Figuring out what to was just the right amount of a challenge. The only time I got a bit stuck was at the very last "puzzle".
Cool idea! Good be really good with some improved feedback. In the compoversion it's kind of hard to figure out what is going on but I saw on the blog that you're working on an improved version :)
I liked this a lot! Chuckled at the Mecha-peen5000.
Talking sword and style reminded me of transistor. Nice, graphics, sound and mood but the gameplay got a bit tedious.
This one really grew on me while playing! One of my favorites so far.
Not bad! Interesting design, decent AI, music and look creates a nice mood and units and background map looks good!
Would probably be even better when played against a human.
Beautiful colors! The mood of this game is very nice. The puzzle is nice to but a bit easy. I didn't try the custom mode though. I read about it after closing the game and it seems a bit harder.
Made me dizzy! Didn't really understand the mechanics? At first I would die almost instantly. Then I read som of the comments and one of them said that you absorb in one direction at a time when one of the WASD-keys are pressed. When I tried this nothing at all happened. The game would just keep on going.
Fullscreen kept toggling automatically for me and aiming seems to be broken while in fullscreen (at least for me in 16:10). Petty, seemed nice! I like the audio and mood of the game.
Cool idea! Fun to play and the encouraging lines made me smile. I like that the audio's different between playtroughs. It get's a bit too hard to fast IMO. I failed right after the bottom-center controls was introduced on all of my ~4-5 playtroughs.
Damn! I wish my game was this good :)
