I really liked this game. Especially puzzles.

I really liked this game. Especially puzzles.
I like the idea, but controls and AI are making this game a bit unplayable. Sometimes AI just stunlocks me, so I can't even land a hit on him. Controls are strange too. Sometimes when I hold LMB boss charges the attack and strikes when I release LMB , sometimes he just swings without me releasing the button. I've spent some time trying to get killed, but failed horribly.
Other than that good job with music and graphics.
It doen't look very nice, but plays beautifully. I enjoyed playing it. Too bad people can hear you, so there was no point in sneaking behind them.
No download link.
I liked your voice acting. And the fact that you made houses pseudo 3d is very cool. Though it is very hard to see where cloud actually is, meaning that it is hard to aim.
I liked the ending very much. Felt like I am really a monster. I rate this game 5/5
Could use some audio though.
Very nice action game, looking forward to expanded version with plot and stuff
This game is amazing! Everything is perfect - art,music, gameplay, 10/10 O GOSPODI 10/10!
I liked shooting in this game. Everything else was pretty bad. I think if you had more time you could make an a lot better shootemup. Good luck in the future.
I liked how it looked, but could not figure out how to play it :(
I liked the concept. I think it could make a perfect mobile game.
I loved the art, but did not understand the idea.
Very nice 3d graphics. And very nice music too. I liked playing this game, but I didn't understand how to end it. And screams of guards really scared me.
The best I've played on ludum dare 33 so far. Would even buy this. I hope you go greenlight in steam.
Never had so much fun killing people.
Amazing graphic! Amazing music! Cool Atmosphere!
Wow you actually did it in 3d:)
I failed to finish the 3rd level though.
Good job anyway!
A lot of fun, a bit hard though. Great job, could turn out to a very nice game if you put more time in it!
Damn son... I love this graphic!
Really nice game you made there! The only thing I didn't like about it was how jumping work. It would've been much more comfortable for me if I could control height of the jump bu holding the button longer. Other than that I liked everything, good job!
It became pretty hard at the end, but was fun. Magazine in the end was a very nice touch. And seeing your dress on the podium was pretty cool too.
I think this was one of the best games I've seen on this ludum so far. Everything is great except graphics. 5 stars, my man.
Nice graphics and audio. Map would be useful though.
I've played this for a while, killed a few enemies, got some modules, but flying is way too boring. Space is empty, parts are rare, some of them disappear when opened(this is pretty frustrating!). Other than that game is nice, I like it.
Its always nice to see someone make a good rythmgame. Good job on this one. Its pretty hard, because checkpoints aren't frequent but other than that its great.
Didn't get the shapeshifting theme from this though.
Very nice idea. I can see this being a successful mobile game!
I found this very hard and barely playable. I die every before getting to the next platform.
So sad there is no AI. I really like how characters move and how you get air boos when turning into gas and how fast you fall when turning into ice. I'd love to see you finish this game.
I like the game but my minions kept disappearing and there is almost no connection to shapeshiftig theme.
Graphics are really nice for a ludum dare project but after a while jumpy animations gave me a headache.
I am impressed that you did this just in a few days. Good job!
This is a fun game. I enjoyed playing it.Level design and controls are very nice. Wish there was music though. Good job!
For some reason lights don't work for me :(
It just generated a dead end for me on both sides and I couldn't progress. Sound of something shooting looped and wouldn't stop. And I also saw collision boxes of platfroms.
About good stuff - it runs smooth and controls are responsive. Playing this is comfortable.
Good entry for your first try but you have a lot of stuff to work on, see you on the next ludum!
A very solid entry, as others said.I couldn't really connect to the characters honestly. Game started and something is already happening to them, I barely got to know them, and then I am supposed to have feelings for them. Didn't work for me sadly.
I liked audio a lot. Good job with that!
Graphics and controls are very good, very addicting. Couldn't stop playing. Though I had trouble with sound. It just wasn't there, no music, no sfx.
Interesting take on the theme. I can totally see this as popular mobile game.
Well fun take on classic game. I wish it had some weapon upgrades or something. Other than that good idea but sadly almost nothing to critique.
Pretty old idea and sadly you didn't do anything new with it. I kinda liked the idea of this control scheme, but other objects seemed to be moving too fast for this kind of controls. Maybe it is not control scheme fault though. Maybe it is the fact that I had to chase other object since there were almost none of them around. Maybe spawning more objects could've solved this problem.
Good job with the music though!
Game looks pretty and gameplay feels satisfying. But it lacks well defined goals and rules, otherwise it becomes boring very fast.
Nonetheless, good work!
Great game, playing with gravity is always fun :)
Your pixel art is awesome and faces on planets is adorable :P It was really hard to beat boss, but nevertheless, good job!
Great idea! I'd say ideal for mobile game. I'd change sound effects though. They kinda hurt my ears.
It's definetly a lot of content for a jam game! I've struggled with UI, but nonetheless, good work!
Really nice entry, simple and fun!
Art and music just marvellous!
To be honest this one is my favorite 4 quarters game so far(Even though I barely understood what is going on in this world) Great job, guys.
Fun little game! I've struggled with controls, it's pretty hard to understand where cow will fly. Cow's face expression in menu gave me a good laugh :D
Nice little game! I loved art style (but perspective camera feels wrong IMO). Also, it would be great to have some UI (like progress and HP bar) and music.
Cool game!
Thruster arrow direction was little confusing. It would be great if probe was destroyed after collisions.
Also, game is really challenging, I had to use all my Kerbal Space Program skills :D All in all, good work!
Game is fina but tools you give the player are kind of puzzling at the start. I couldn't understand how my clone works for a while. And cat's walk speed is just way too slow for my taste. Other than that game is fine I think? Maybe red hearts are kind of misleading? I thought red hearts are good but they kill you in this game for some reason :D Cool art by the way!
I love the graphics and how jumping feels in this game. I wish attacks were telegraphed though. Seeing when tanks will shoot would've been great.
Very nice take on theme. Game is fun even though there are almost no visuals. Cool risk/reward mechanic makes me really like your game. Good job!
Nice idea and great controls. Just swinging and running around is quite enjoyable.
Very nice small game. It plays great. I couldn't find any win condition though. Tried collecting different stuff from different depths, game didn't reward me for any of this. (Maybe harpoon got longer? I don't know:) ) I'd say this is a good base for a game. If you add some goals for the player and maybe depth meter as other people suggested, maybe some upgrades for the submarine it could become a good finished game. By the way graphics and music are quite pleasing. Good job!
Graphics are very nice! Everything else doesn't feel right for some reason though. You don't really feel anything when you shoot, get shot, get money, hit someone. And sound effect when you shoot the other boat is sooo unpleasant. Good job though! I bet those low poly graphics took all your time :)
Fun, great idea, very good artwork and overall solid entry! Looking forward to Post-LD version :)
P.S. I've made a prototype with similar mechanics once, but never managed to make it fun. It seems you beat me to it, congratulations! :)
It is a very strange thing you have there. Looks quite pretty though :) Sadly I couldn't make myself five it enough time to grow to the max size. It is way to slow even with the last optimization update. Good job though!
Very well made. Good job!
Nice idea:) Not much of a game but its funny and looks pretty. Good job!
Fun polished game! I appreciate your food taste and that you think it should be served in restaurants on plates :) Good job!
Looks very nice, kinda hard to manage everything when there are more people around but I guess it is supposed to be like this? It's very sad there's no music to be honest. I think that would make much better. Great job!
Very nice small game. Nothing new but decently crated. Good job! Can't say that fits theme 100% though :)
Really like the art and fx. Music gets repetitive very fast though. Gameplay is very solid and I think this can become a very nice game if you spend more time on it. Great job! (sadly couldn't find any secret endings :( )
Very nice short finished game. Drawings are nice, they all convey certain emotions, humor works, no technical problems. One of the best games I've played so far. Great job!
Kind of a strange experience. It felt like a clicker honestly. Switching cursor felt way too slow so I ended up just pressing z over and over. Even with Eye upgrade just pressing z felt more rewarding. And in the end you can only buy love and get that message about greed. Nice idea but a little blunt delivery in my opinion. Good job though!
I liked the idea but playing this wasn't fun at all sadly. Controls felt clunky and things you have to do in the game didn't seem like fun activities.
I really like how the game plays, looks and feels. Seems a little unfinished though. But all in all great job!
Wow, controls are crazy clunky. You can never see where you are going because camera is looking at the floor, character is not responsive at all. And picture has way too much contrast. Looking oat it for a long time makes eyes hurt. Good job finishing this though!
Died from lightning strike. Don't know why :thinking:
Very nice functioning game. Had fun avoiding guards and stealing their money. Was kind of upset when found out that they can be killed so easily. Good job guys!
I like the concept. Game encourages you to do everything as fast as you can, it is fun. But controls are clunky and I'm not sure if boost mechanic is any good. Good job though.
Don't want to sound mean but camera and character controls feel very weird, navigating myself through level was very hard.
Strange concept but kinda fun. Maybe making player die if he has 0 power would make it even more interesting? I don't know. Kinda make him manage his resources with more thought put into it. Plus you wouldn't have to throw insane amounts of monsters just to make it just a tiny difficult. I found myself spending all of my power all the time and it kept me 100% safe. Good job , solid game.
Very well made and polished! Audio is pleasing and graphics are appealing.Spinning this wheel feels just right. The only thing I didn't is how it is related to this times theme. Other than that, great entry. Good job!
