One of the best artwork I've seen in LD28.
Nice puzzle. But even when I got how to solve it, I still had to retry a few times because of some bugs.
The ending was really good.

One of the best artwork I've seen in LD28.
Nice puzzle. But even when I got how to solve it, I still had to retry a few times because of some bugs.
The ending was really good.
Cool game, nice graphics. Good take on the theme.
I got to round 4, really enjoyable.
Really fun game to play. Good take on the theme. Nice graphics. The movement was smooth and made me feel comfortable.
Pretty nice idea. Like it!
I played it to the "Circumvention" level. Really good game in overall, especially on level design. This game got highest score I've rated so far :)
Cool. This was short and interesting enough for me to play again. In my 3rd try, I finally saw the bonus ending - the greeting :).
Don't know if I can find other ways but in the last 3-4 levels, I have to send the instruction while the robot is still moving. That makes the connection between the game and the theme seems less strict.
Everything else is perfect :)
Very challenging but also very innovative and entertaining. Don't know if I can kill the flying steel armor or not.
Really love the gun assembly. Having to find the gun parts when starting the game makes me feel lazy to retry. Maybe you should add the map and highlight the location of the gun parts and the target. The police are also quite hard to avoid. So the game is too hard for me sadly. Good job anyway!
Nice minigames. Really fun to play. I love the speed but I could not understand what to do in some games.
I found a girl sitting alone at the corner. She loves travel and food. Then, I performed well at bed. Finally, I found someone to wake up with haha. Really fun to play.
Wow. I really like the idea and the sound.
Hope I could find more mini games like this in LD28. I think 48 hours game contest is only for games which have unique idea and it should be really simple instead of focusing too much to polished thing up or providing a lot of levels to play.
Really nice game. Good take on the theme. The puzzles were really clever.
Cool game. Really fun to play. The graphics style was pretty clean. The simplicity really made this game win but it should be a little bit easier.
Pretty nice idea. Like it!
Really cool idea. Good take on the theme. Only in 3 hours but it's really well made. I love to see more levels to play.
Really fun to play. Nice work!
Nice concept and graphics.
The game was too hard. I could not make more than 2 kills in a row.
Really cool game. Nice graphics. The idea was great but it's too hard to control.
It looks very impressive right from the screenshots. The animation and music were awesome. The skill system was really well made. Great work!
Really nice idea. Good take on the theme. You made a pretty cool features list :)
Really good mood. I didn't know what to do with the black ghost.
It's amazing that the art and programming are made by one guy. Both are awesome. The music was also really good.
The death penalty was really painful at the beginning. After full upgraded, I still got some trouble with later levels.
The screenshots look impressive but I only got blank page on both Chrome and Firefox.
Nice and simple. I really love the graphics and the ending.
I have to read some comments to understand how I can finish the game. The bulldozer just looked like some bones on the ground.
Overall 5/5.
Really cool. I like the concept. Interesting game. Nice sounds.
Interesting game. Really nice idea.
The game was quite hard for me. Perhaps you should slow down the speed and allow to aim the gun by mouse.
The game is pretty fun but really tough. I couldn't reach level 3.
Finally got to level 4. Having some sound really makes me want to play a little longer (I played the game on Firefox with no sound on the first time).
I want to have more chance to use item. I think you shouldn't add empty bins to the game.
Also, the game difficulty was good already. I believe no one will want to play through some easy levels first, then has to complete them again to reach a really challenging level every times he died.
Fun game to play. The arrow seems really heavy. The boss was extremely hard to kill. I think it could be hard enough even if the boss had only 3 HP.
Really nice idea. I enjoyed this game so much. Some parts were hilarious. The sound was also really good.
Like it a lot, really good gameplay idea!
This is really well made. Great use of theme.
Why does his sock get dirty while he is jumping? :)
Really fun game to play. A gorilla was named Justin Bieber lol. I could only score once after a few tries. Really good AI.
Awesome and very addicting game. The crafting system was really cool. I also love the graphics and the sound effects.
I don't know if monsters become stronger or I just used a wrong combination that make the spell seemed pretty weak sometimes.
Love it. Cool gameplay idea.
Really cool concept, especially on the idea of the timestamp. The procedural generation was really good but I think it can not create any challenging for the game. I believe this game will become a great success base on its core concept.
Very challenging but really fun to play. I've never tried to type number fast so this is a very good game to practice.
It's fun to play. The concept, graphics and music were really good. The game became quite laggy on my computer after about 30 seconds.
I think fat guys chasing fries would be more fun than those skinny guys :)
Great puzzle. Very challenging but also very entertaining. I really love the idea. It's very good use of the theme.
Really nice concept. Good take on the theme.
It's pretty addicting. I really love the slashing actions. My top score was 24.
Sadly I still haven't found anyone to play with yet. The graphics on your screenshots look good. Nice sound. I will come back to try this game soon :)
The artwork was really interesting. The control was quite hard for me. Maybe you should use up arrow for jumping and down arrow for interacting.
Nice shooter. I didn't understand how to play with the Repulsor and the Tractor.
This is really well made.
I survived 6 days 9 hours. I had to retry a few times to find the right strategy.
The first building should be Hugeass Nuclear Plant and one more later. I went full of Chainshooters for the Earth and the Moon, built some trees when the pollution was high.
I don't know if I can survive longer. Other defense towers seem much less effective than Chainshooter.
It's really fun. Love the idea :)
I really love the idea. It's very innovative and entertaining. I think it will be a great success on the market if you continue to make this seriously.
Great game. The puzzles were pretty nice.
I think the concept was really good on the first and the second levels which clearly categorized the game as a puzzle game.
But the third level turned the game into an action game. I don't know if there is any good strategy for this level but it's really hard to handle 3 wizards. I finally finished this level but didn't remember how. Two wizards just automatically moved to the top left corner and safely got stuck there.
If you are going to design more levels for this game, please focus on the puzzling part :)
Good ideas and very cool game. I really enjoyed this.
This was really well made, I really enjoyed this.
Nice and colorful game. Really fun to play.
Really fun to play. I love the idea. The control was quite difficult for me.
Awesome game. Everything is really impressive.
I haven't solved it yet.
Simple but really fun to play. Awesome graphics.
Great concept. The graphics was also really good.
The game was quite hard for me. Maybe it would be easier if the red dot flew faster.
The concept was really cool. I think it could be more fun if you made 1 player mode for this game. Not really need to work on the AI, just let the crowd move randomly and you have to kill anyone who reach near the resident.
That was cool! Great work!
Cool concept. Really fun to play, nice and simple. That was a great use of the theme. I think all puzzles you created were good and clever, I really enjoyed all of them.
It would be better if the game displayed a message to tell that you win or lose after clicked :)
Really good gameplay idea. The graphics are just amazing.
I finished the game with 1020 score points. It became quite laggy at the end.
I really enjoyed this game. Cute graphics and fun gameplay. I love the concept that the character was not be killed by arrows or bombs, he just had to keep the key safe. But the control with Space was really hard to use.
Really nice artwork. It's quite hard but I really enjoyed this.
I didn't know why I died some times. Still haven't found the way to kill the boss yet :)
Great game! The graphics and music were really good. But the background of Paris stage was quite annoying.
I really want to discover all levels to see new places and monsters but the game was quite hard for me. Perhaps you should make it easier so more people will have chance to reach the last level.
I got to stage 4 - Sydney, 50270 points.
You will be surprised if you find the way to kill him. It's not hard, just don't go too far.
And if you can kill him, you may want to try again to get better score. Don't forget to submit your score here :).
@meek: The cloud, sky and ground are from Phaser's assets.
@hazzen You're right. The clouds are from Phaser's example assets folder. I think using photos from an open source project is acceptable but I will be more careful and try to create all of them myself next time. Thank you.
The clouds, the sky and the ground (ledge) weren't made by me. I also edited my entry's note about this.
@goerp It's not broken. I tried to replace the clouds but I'm not good at drawing and it would take a lot of times so it ended up with those text. Sorry I made another confusing thing again. Perhaps it would be clearer if I used the text "cloud1.png was here" :)

@Fenixin: I will do as your suggestion on the next update. Thank you :)
@local minimum: I understand. There is nothing that assists the player what to do on the game and having to add spoilers was really bad. I will try to make everything clearer on the next update. Your suggestion about the character will look at the objective some times is really nice. Thank you :)
Still can't make this work on Windows :(. I tried "java run.bat" and got an error "Could not find or load main class run.sh".
Really fun idea, great use of theme.
It took me a while, threw about 5 stones then finally saw that cute "thing". Then I used "the present" to scare all of birds but nothing happen :)
Great game, good idea and messages but it's really sad. The graphics was really good too.
My character was nearly blind at the first try, but I managed to got him as far as the spastic one. I haven't finished the game yet but I think the crippled one may be the only one who can complete this game fully with his patient.
Really nice and simple. I got 3800, rank: Peon :)
Really fun to play. I love your pixel monsters.
I got to level 21 and stopped because my hand was quite tired. The game speed was too fast so I just threw the hammer randomly. Also having to run around and throw hammer just with mouse was quite hard. Maybe it would be better if you allowed to control the movement by keyboard.
Really fun idea, made me laugh while playing. Does it have more than 5 endings that I've seen?
Nice game. Really good graphics and music. The game was quite hard for me but it's fun to play.
Fast and fun game. The ending made me laugh.
Nice game. The movement was quite difficult. Good job anyway! I really love the idea and the story.
Really hard to control but the game was very fun.
Beautiful short game. The ending was really meaningful.
One of the best in LD28. Amazing artwork. The ending was really funny.
I think you should let the arrow fly through the ledges. It could be more enjoyable if the main character has more strength to make her really comfortable in controlling the stage, such as jump farther, be able to aim while running...
Cute game. I love everything about this game. Graphics, music, story, mood, all were perfect!
Nice game. I really like the graphics and the music but the game was quite easy. Good job though :)
I like the concept. Very challenging but really fun to play.
Cute game. I like the concept. The game was very innovative and entertaining.
So cute! Lovely graphics and music.
The instructions were quite hard to remember. Perhaps you should let the girl tell you exactly which combination keys you should press, like "Roll: left right left right A B".
Interesting game. Nice sounds.
Excellent game. Smooth control. The graphics and sound are also really good. But the game was quite hard for me. I could not finish it.
Nice idea and music.
After I finished the 4th or 5th level, I got back to the 1st one. So the game was quite short for me. Maybe it could be more fun if you add more operators like * or /.
About the level design, I think you shouldn't make a level with too much tiles. It's hard to predict anything when you have to play with more than 15 tiles so I just randomly chose thing until there's only a few tiles remain.
Levels cleared: 3/6. I played it on Windows - smooth and beautiful. I think you should give the fish some HP instead of letting it die instantly.
Nice game. I really love the mechanics and music. I think it would be better if the crate swung a little faster.
Really fun to play. I got 881!
Nice puzzle game. I really love the idea about using one key to open all movable keyholes.
The movement seems buggy and it's quite hard to control. Maybe you should let everything moves from tile to tile instead of using pixels.
Great game. I really like the concept. I got 116 :)
Cool game. You handle the minigun effects really well. Nice graphics and sound.
8:37:45 on normal mode. Really good game, nice use of theme, graphics and music are amazing. Awesome job!
Nice mechanic graphics and sound. I could not finish the game but had tried 3 Titans, was able to kill 1 of them. The character got killed in 1 hit and having to walk through a large map to try a again was a bit frustrating.
Challenging but also very innovative. I love the graphics style.
After the first and the second easy level, the third one was really hard.
Nice graphics. I didn't really get what to do after I got a gun with one bullet. It would be better if the dialogue was skip-able.
Awesome game. I really love your pixel graphics. The game was really well made.
Nice graphics. The idea is good but it's quite hard for me to beat the game.
Great job. The idea is really interesting. But I am not sure I can understand clearly about the root, how to reseed it and how much does it cost.
Nice little game. I liked the sound when I clicked.
It's much easier when I let the rocket falls down slowly to avoid damage instead of flying down to the bottom. But then I couldn't bring the yellow thing to the surface as it usually disappear on the half way. Did I not take it fast enough?
I guess you got a lot of troubles with Phaser because the new version was just released, broke backward compatibility and was leaving a lot tutorials in old version. But the most important thing is that you could make it playable and submitted in time. Hope I can try v1.1 soon.
Really really cool idea! This should have an arrow to show the direction where your character moves forward.
Really nice mechanic. I didn't notice that bubble could hurt the fish at first time.
Good work. Simple and fun. The art is really nice.
Fun and interesting little game. Need to inform when you're able to interact with Louis' hair.
@alvarop Did you mean it's quite hard to go up/down the surface. Maybe because Shady is too fat for those holes.
@alvarop Oh I forgot that those holes were expanded already few hours before I decided to submit the game. Can you describe more about your strange collision experience?
@pythong Yeah, some cool animations could make a huge difference. But that was all I could draw. I didn't even have enough time for adding some sound ^__^.
@StencylTuo I wish I could spend more time on the gameplay. Since this is my second entry, using the same tools as the first one, I thought I could take it easier but unfortunately the new version of Phaser was giving me more troubles than I expected. The quicker clouds challenge is just a backup plan. I were glad that I could make it playable in the end.
@local minimum The cloud variations feature like you said was cut because some technical issues. I really like the idea about people with flashlights in the bottom layer. They should cause some damage to Shady too.
Nice game. I played it to the end. The art is amazing combined with cute sound that made it such a pleasure game to play. Interesting idea for the theme too.
I don't think you should hide item under the yellow page so player has to click on it to reveal.
The jumping mechanic was a bit strange but I had fun playing this game. Great job on your first game.
Challenging but really fun to play. I almost quit on the 3rd room. The ending is hilarious.
Interesting idea, good take on the theme. I was playing it until my laptop got so hot. Don't know why people always expect better graphics and sound on a solo entry made in 2 days. However, you can't improve graphic for the 1-pixel mines. Maybe the game should begin with larger mines, 3-5 pixels in size.
Really nice intro and graphics. I couldn't get through the double spikes.
This was really well made. Cool gameplay, amazing graphics and sound. I could play it for hours if I can kill those moles in fewer hits.
