pretty harsh, but a good interesting take on the LD theme
great idea, cheeky game mechanic, nice!
good start
super fun! like a 4 way shooting spy hunter. great job!
love it, great little game :)
decent concept and good sprite design!
nice work, really like the concept :)
keep on developing this more, love your idea!
great game but a bit cheeky putting Sigur Ros on it....
awesome, love it. please build this into a full indie game!
Im gluten intolerant so this is fine for consumption :)
great atmosphere!
Envirobear!!!
nice, you should develop it further.
great twist on an old classic. nice job!
very sweet, nice!
nice! love the "oh james" bed shot
flippin' ace, love it! the game mechanics are awesome :)
its like if the guy who made enviro-bear made an endless runner game. good stuff, pretty addictive!
solid gameplay and a great style, like it :)
nice!
very polished and decent gameplay
thanks for the lovely comments so far! :)
NOTE: if playing the web version, click on the Play full screen option just below where the game is placed on the megaswf page. MUCH SMOOTHER which is very much recommended! best results are from the download options!
im from the old 8 bit days of difficulty..... win by mastering. play each stage using the training levels beforehand :)
"ragequit" nice term! think im gonna have to use that! thanks :)
love it!
Cool, great atmosphere from the subtle colour balance and motions
love the cannon fodder style to the graphics, nice!
great idea, bit like good ole Lemmings from years ago!
great, great game, nice work!
nice take on lemmings
lovely job, good work!
lovely work! brings back those fine zelda game memories :)
awesome presentation
nice idea but strange controls make it hard to get into
Intense! scary freeking cylinders, their AI logic and the environment really add to the atmosphere. reminded me of slender in a minimalist kinda way!!
like the minimalist Canabalt concept. would benefit from some variety in platforms as they were all the same for me which made the game pretty simple. I also found that i could never reverse gravity as it would always throw me down/up a pit. Like Canabalt would benefit from some hectic sfx or upbeatmusic
Great inversion of pong, why have i never played it before!! I like the idea of using the walls. graphics sound and gameplay are a perfect match for the theme. it reminds me of california games - not enough hacky sack sims out there!!
Great game. favourite game yet! Excellent graphics and presentation. Great how the screen pans out and the concept is pretty unique. Most complete and least buggy game i've played in the jam
love the idea, columbo vs star trek. controls are a little twitchy but perfectly playable. Great little gaming experience
nice, short and sweet.
Not sure this is a game your supposed to enjoy!? Tells an interesting story and perfectly captures the drudgery of work. Graphic and sound track are neat but personally think it would benefit from an upbeat tempo at the end. I like the exploration and the unobvious direction. Plays smooth, no bugs
Interesting and fun little game. No sound or was it just me? Would benefit from a sound track or sfx. Also had long stretches with only black characters. Enjoyed the game and found the graphics and animation fun
Really liked it, my favourite game yet! Great sfx and gfx. Although a little buggy a great concept that deserves to be played and further developed.
Great little retro g
Great little retro game, with excellent graphics, animation and sound. The stamina system can at times feel overly harsh though. I seemed to be beaten a few times by impossible deadlines rather than my control (controls by the way are incredibly slick and tight). A great and complete game!!
didnt work for me, just hung on a black screen?.... funky lincoln is an awesome name though!
Great little game and although concise, very replayable. Dark (ending!!?) but a lot of fun, love the graphics and the twist on the mini game genre - so many riffs on warioware out there (our previous jam entry included!) but this feels fresh and unique
Good use of mondrian in the level design and an interesting twist on a rpg fighting style and puzzle/mini games, i like the atmosphere but would benefit from in game music
Sorry about any bugs and crashes, the game was made in 48hrs (as this was all we could do) and we're still learning the stencyl ropes (tips or advice gratefully received!). Please keep trying if it crashes, its only a short 'game' experience and we hope worth seeing through to the end. Thanks for playing!
oh them darn mutant cats, making life all risky and challenging, W.E.T will soon make it all better. there, there.. its gonna be okay everyone....!
Sorry but couldn't get the game to run, just repetedly seizes on the intro screen/menu. Looks cool though
Visually and conceptually interesting and really fits the breif. Lag on controls and text feedback make it very difficult to play but deserves further development time. You also can't exit the game, kinda fits with the theme though!
Enjoyed the game, clearly a lot of work. Loving the previous description of MS paint does wario ware, captured your game perfectly. Do think it was a little too close to other mini game compilations, risking a poor cousin analogy. Music also verged on irritatating which doesn't match the fun gameplay.
great way of playing that kind of genre in a new way. good thinking!
love the voices! i can imagine this being made by sega and played at some dirty seaside town arcades when the dancemat games were all the rage.
best so far, love the concept!
Very atmospheric and thoughtful experience, very well designed for only 48hrs work. Great take on the minimalist brief.
lost my ship of the bottom of the screen.....
Nice little game, fun and very simple but unique twist on the game. Great AI and game logic
difficult to understand how to play on, but becomes quite addictive as you start to get it. like the inertia and the graphix fit the theme
love it, great tension like a wildwest shoot out. nice!
Very good little puzzle game, personally found it a little confusing to start as the controls screen only flashed on the screen momentarily. Really like the character and the puzzles are great but the sound fx need work, i played on mute. Distinctive style, good pace and most important - replayability!
Really enjoyed the story, plot could do with a little more depth and better pacing (doesn't need to be as quick) but overall great experience
Enjoyable riff on a minimalistic synesthesia/bullet hell game. I was a little confused as to whether to collect or avoid the 'bullets', there doesn't initially appear to be much difference. I'm not sure whether the bullet pattern was random or rythmic with the music but personally think it would benefit from more designed patterns. It does become hypnotic as you play and has good replayability, well done!!
clever space bar control system, found it pretty tricky though
excellent match to the theme
good replayability
nice! love the foggy effects and overall look of it
Great effort, really polished and would be a good starting point for a phone/tablet app game,
friggin amazing! perfect concept and very playable, id deffo buy that if it was on app store! best i've played so far....
amazing! best of the jam. way better than canabalt(seriously, it takes that overall play style to the next level)... now kicking myself i did'nt come up with such a clever take on the theme.
very nice game
neatly designed graphics
it was hard but I enjoyed trying to master it
played it for a long time
thanks for the good feedback so far!
Fair enough, good points to consider if I decide to flesh the game out more in the future.
love it, best i've played so far, really polished!
Good entry - love anything cheese themed!
Graphics are great and it felt very polished
Game play pretty straightforward
Would be good if you could carry multiple cheeses
nice idea which fits with the theme
needs a pause screen or animation to show when 10 secs is up - this would make it more satisfying
good start though
nice job! good all round effort :)
crazy but cool, liked it :)
no luck running it in firefox, but chrome was fine. Its certainly well made, very complete in design and bug free. but it did'nt grab me like some of the more innovative entries did.
very nice, i enjoyed this a lot
interesting story, simple clean graphics
clever level design
like it, love the character design!
great work :)
cool as F&*K, loved it.
yeeeaaaaa! (sorry could'nt help my self, that voice sample's stuck in my brain now!) good game, loved the slenderman-like screen jitter when your near those four legged creatures!
great graphics and design, lots of work involved in the detailed questionning, interesting take on the theme
nice work
really liked this - neat simple idea which runs really well
excellent foundation for a more substantial game in which you could introduce different characters, cars etc.
love the red high heels he wears! nice touch
nice idea, a kinda of side on sim city, like it :)
great fun - could keep playing this for ages. like the different visual styles of the mini games - impressive in the time limit of the jam. great that the controls were so simple. music was also good, fast paced and manic. well done!
in a word STUNNING!!. so many mechanics added to one game. would make a great release on mobile with touch and motion control. best of the jam for me so far.
well its bug free at least so well done for that :)
great. one of the best yet, love the ideas.
definitely some similarities to our game - nice to see another with a similiar concept. really love your graphics and overall visual style, very polished and incredibly impressive considering the time limit. i like the options to select from, i think this could be developed further into a full game.
nice, good lighting and the ghost thing made it all very slender man in tone. good work
we made the music using Reaper Audio and the Kontact Player free download VST. thanks for the kind review, glad you liked it!
amazing job, i did end up spending ages though trying to see if it's possible to gun down that boss man after i got that big robot!?! fun game and technically awesome for 48hrs!
nice and original, loved the sound of the orb as you pass it! a bit slow on my old i3 laptop but i guess those buildings were fairly high poly so not surprising really
cool game, should work on it further and add some extra levels
great twist, the big foot is awesome, nice work!
funny as hell, i think i actually nearly pissed myself with laughter when that poor guy pissed that bright yellow puddle all over the floor with his head in his hands! brilliant take on the endless runner style.
love it, very original and great to dress em up for some funny dissapointment. poor guy!?...
Excellent presentation and concept. Music is particulary good. Took me a while to work out the teleportation controls but when I got it the hang of it was fun (but tricky). Good job!
interesting game. simple but effective graphics. controls took a bit of getting used to, maybe a practice or training level would help, as the game is quite difficult. but overall a neat game which runs smoothly.
got an error loading the web version....
Exception: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: base/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
an ace idea and great game mechanics, loved the music too!
great little game, good workout for the old memory banks! well done
fun game, great sound and music too!
awesome graphics and soooooo smooth to play, very polished
gets better and better the more you play. great!
great looking style, nice mechanics too
good idea, and very polished
some really good ideas in this game. graphics are very good. quite a lot of content considering the time limit of the jam. the list itself is pretty funny and overall really enjoyed this game.
nice, got to level 8 in the end. like the suble music generated by the random notes when the arrows touched something, great idea!
stella effort, quality all round, got stuck on the last two but would love to finish it. very engrossing.
not sure what happened but it made me laugh and it looks great
good speed and control, nice work!
crazy addictive. make it a mobile game!
visually excellent, really appealing. animation is tight and lovely style. found controls a little tricky, collision detection issues etc. could be really nice with a bit of development.
great game, love it when the train goes by, gets really frantic quickly!
i don't have a mouse wheel (laptop) so might be good to add an alternative control if you add to the game at a later date.
good concept, needs a little more clarity, or im hungover which could be the issue....
Nice to see something a little different Took a little while to get into, it could do with a something to pull you forward. Clearly a lot of work from a 2 man team.
neat game, great concept. particulary liked the shape of the anti virus and the little yellow segments. the gameplay was well thought through.
shame it ran really slow on an up to date pc.... a frame rate ester or something may have helped, but it might be firefox i guess.... but a good effort though, great tile maps and idea.
jam hot.
Great idea, shame about the bugs - couldn't get past level2
Found it a little confusing but could be the start of something more interesting.
good work, very Super Crate Box but that's no bad thing!
original style with the triangles, nice take on rhythm action games.
LOVE the hand claps, funny game!
Great little game, with some balancing and play testing you might be onto a classic!
great playability and nice concept, good work!
Nice concept, atmospheric music, particularaly like the ability to zoom the map. I agree that the camera could do with being a little further out, it would also be great to have a little more npc's and environmental objects but really get the time restriction!
I like the multiple levels and teleportation but the fighting mechanic could be stronger. really nice proof of concept that could go on to be something cool. Also really liked your choice of worlds
Very good!cowamari damacy!excellent game and the first i've played through. could do with being a little smoother and camera likes to get stuck in buildings but otherwise excellent!
well designed, great idea, controls could be tighter and it needs some mood - maybe sound effects and music
excellent game, brilliant atmosphere - this idea needs to go AAA!!! Needs more SFX and shame you cant turn and walk or be a little more freeform but amazing amount of work within the time
Interesting, like your take on the theme, weirdly scary!
good game, the visuals remind me of an indie game called Ballpoint Universe. great job!
great use of timers to get around the two button limitation
you should make it a mobile game, clever stuff
great idea, like a minimal harvest moon
great little game, once i got the hang of the controls it became pretty addictive!
LOVED IT!!! best game i played from this jam so far, brilliantly executed, its a bit like those great hitman/lara croft..etc.. GO games on mobile :)
great use of theme, very original concept :)
lovely graphics - nice concept, UIs great considering time restraints
looks amazing, great voxel style artwork
great music and explosions!
great effort well done, the cat clawing move is very satisfying!
good effort, like the theme
great game, the enemies are crazy!?! good imaginations!
great game! really loved the immediacy and how the game speeds up.
Excellent strategy game- very well designed complex gameplay, would be great with some sytylised visuals
love your interpretation of the theme and you're main character is inspired. You need to licence run with us (the racoons theme) for the soundtrack!!?
Seen in the context of an ld game what youve acheived is amazing- nice graphics and great audio- gameplay suffers a little- mainly due to colision and optimization (and i'm guessing time restraints!). Love to see what you can do with more than a weekend!
Difficult genre to tackle in a jam but well done for trying. A little more handholding- tutorial would be helpful but an interesting concept and cool ehen thenpace picks up and you get into the swing of things
good job, tight controls and decent angle to play from.
Great concept acheived minimally- few bugs but to be expected. looks cool, loads of content and good fun
nice ideas, the enemie bunched up together which was odd but fun anyways
Wicked, fun and mad litle game- experience. Loved the graphics andthe concept
Very nice complete experience - really fits the theme and a hreat level of strategy. Can very easily see how this could be expanded into a full game
Good game- great use of theme and nice concept. really liked how you teach us the rules of play within the game.
brilliant game, idea graphics and music all really complement the gameplay and controls. Worried 2 pads might be a high cost of entry to play though. Well done
love the concept and the strategy. The music builds a real sense of tension whilst retaining that c64 kinda feel. Great game
great graphics and fun old school gameplay, great job!
Fantastic neat, fun experience. Graphics and sound work great together and love how much personality the game has.
Very cool interpretation of theme- few glitches here and there but only to be expected from an ld game! Fun and frantic- good work
fantastic, fully realised game. Amazed how much you've managed to build in the time. Can easily see how this could be a full game. Cracking graphics and design, good job
simple addictive fun game, liked the addition of health points on the enemies, not just one shot death.
The basis of a good game here- although quite simple - good fun. Part of ld is to learn to manage your time so well done and goodluck for the next
best game i've played on here yet, really solid mechanics and i can see this working outside of xmas theme. super well done!!!
nice work, gets really hectic very quickly!!!!
Great sound and graphics- fun simple gameplay. Amazingly eccentric/ slightly insane... In a good way!?
BRILLIANT!!! great simple fun, best i've played so far actually, a really well made game :)
Great game, lovely concept and really nice graphics to set the mood
Thanks so much for all the comments, appreiated!! Only had a 12hr window to create the game so used it to work on our time management and priorities- what and how to build and still have something usefull in a short time. So many assets and ideas on the cutting room floor but we got a game and really hope you like it!
great graphics and presentation, super addictive too! i got to 17 but think i could do better :) you should make it into a full mobile game
outstanding game! love the motion of the coins and the camera controls helps a lot. love it :)
clever concept, like the smoothness of the controls too!
love the pixel art, really hard game but good idea from the theme :)
Great graphics, really good overall :)
The level exits are bottom left and right of the screen, the key unlocks both. When you start the game you choose which level where to put the heart ( the various small hearts are just bonus pickups ) if you put it in level 1.1 then it would appear immediately and thats the way to play the game on easy mode,keep putting the heart in the very next level to make the game easy or do the oppersite for more challenge... its been confusing people which is a shame as its the most interesting mechanic in the game as its user guided difficulty.
Great artwork, you packed a lot of detail and game mechanics into such a short space of time, well done!
good concept, great graphics!
lovely nes like graphics!
great! reminds me a bit on those wonderboy/adventure island games
most innovative game i've played in the jam for years! great mechanics, you should develop it further, could be an indie hit like obra dinn/ her story etc....
money money.... that is some earworm music, really funny though! loved it!
beautiful artwork!
super polished and very good puzzles, played it with my girlfriend who was into it as much as me trying to figure it out!
outstanding, totally original and great replay value! love it :)
lovely game, the gnome death animation is perfect! great work
very nice indeed, lovely art style and good mechanics.
thanks!
thanks, im glad it's being enjoyed so much, i just wanted to make something fun and indeed funny in this strange time we currently live in!
903 that's a great score!
great high scores everyone! and yes i made the music all in a lovely little android mobile app called Caustic.
outstanding game, love the mechanics and it's super solid gameplay.
excellent, love the pixel art in general and all the variation in the food products! great job
excellent arcade game, great idea and love the variety of the enemies!
great game! love the physics and the concept is really good, well done :) i survived 70 seconds in the end
very professional, could pass as a retail indie game, love the spit out animation!
great pixel art, and thankful for the double jump! fun game!
cool game, nice art and controls.
that's just brilliant, what a great way to use the theme. well done! realized now my memory is terrible though!!!
great graphics!
great concept and mechanics, those pesky spikes!!!
great little game, i like the concepts and this could be built upon well with different puzzle elements to make a long, engrossing game. well done!
very solid for a jam game, great controls and physics!
nice game, i survived 55 secs. like the slow down mechanic
