Nice idea. I found it very hard. Always made it to week 6, despite of trying different tactics etc.

Nice idea. I found it very hard. Always made it to week 6, despite of trying different tactics etc.
This was interesting. Made me stay until the end :) One of the most innovative "games" I've tried in this jam :)
Thoroughly impressed :) It's like an art piece with minigames. Very nice art style. Sound would enhance the mood considerably. Good job!
Very nice casual puzzler. I would play this on my phone :)
Nice entry. Refreshingly different :) It was a short story indeed, but then again maybe I shouldn't have peeked over the trench all the time :) Nice entry!
Played until "You won" :) Loved the level design and the graphics. Had great success just ignoring the enemies so the gameplay became somewhat easy. Good job!
I like the game idea and the graphics. This is a concept that could be explored further.
Nice game. Good mechanics. A lot of mouseclicking required. Got tired after a while :) Anyway, good job!
Nice tower defence idea. Confusing to use both keyboard and mouse. A bit difficult to me :) But, overall a nice submission. Soundtrack was very good.
This fits quite well with the theme. I liked the atmosphere you created.
I really like the simple but effective graphics. Struggled with the goal of the game, but still a nice entry!
Best themesong ever.
Very nice game and puzzle mechanics. Great graphics and sound. (The soundtrack got a little repetitive after a while though). Well done!
Cool game! I like this. The concept itself is strong enough to pursued after the jam. I really liked the fighting mechanics, but could maybe have been finetuned more. (ships move slower perhaps?). Good job!
Bonus points for original game idea :) Quite fun to play.
This was a nice experience, thank you :) You've made the music and visuals fit nicely together.
Good looking game with good game mechanics. More sound effects would have made this game even better.
A nice game which fits well with the theme. I ended up with 900 years in my first playthrough :)
Nice game. I specially liked the cloth movement on the player. Good graphics. I was following your stream while I made my own game last weekend. Fun to play it now :)
Excellent Graphics, sound and atmosphere! Gameplay was a bit too difficult for me but then again, platform gaming often is :) Well done!
Scary stuff :) Very atmospheric game. Excellent graphics and sound. With voice acting this could have been a AAA experience. Well done!
I liked this. Kind of relaxed gameplay at the start and then got more intense. Controls worked fine. Nice job!
Wow, impressive. Well done for making this in 72 hours! I specially liked the option to turn off dampening as I love space and physics based games. Well done!
Really fun game. Me and my daughter thank you for a good time :)
I had fun playing this. Nice graphics and style. The trampoline level was hard :)
Very creative game idea. Got sort of tired of clicking after a while, but a nice entry nevertheless :)
The WAAAAAAHHH sound does it all :) Me and my daughter had a lovely time, thank you!
Nice game. Feels like part of a larger game :) No way to fail in this game though :) Good job!
Nice game. I agree with other comments about movement. Fun little game idea though. Well done.
Nice to be able to fly in a 2D platformer. Something new and refreshing. Good job!
Point-and-click adventure games rocks. And making one for a compo rocks even more :) Really enjoyed this. Well done. A little more sound/polish and you are on your way to a really nice game. Good job!
Nice puzzle mechanics. Maybe think of a way to reduce the amount of keystrokes? Anyway a solid entry.
Simple fun, but fun nonetheless :)
Brilliant! What a refreshingly different experience. The graphics and sound makes a really great atmosphere. The attention to detail here is very good. Who knew that beating balls with your keyboard could be this entertaining? Loved it!
Fun game and a good game idea. Couldn't play it in fullscreen, maybe because of my browser. Graphics is good and combined with the music it creates a good atmosphere. Well done.
Fun game. Always nice to hear voice acting and the graphics are good.
Good graphics and effects. Would have liked it if the birds made som kind of sound when they died, (with funny variations maybe).
I had fun. Nice graphics and gameplay, (though the static turrets got annoying). Would benefit from more sound and particle effects when hitting/killing enemies.
Awesome game! Simple and fun mechanics a solid strategy game. Kudos.
This game invites "emergent gameplay" :) Had most fun just dropping things everywhere and pushing other customers :)
Nice game. Liked the soundtrack. Nice way to implement the theme in to a well known genre. Good job.
High quality art assets. I was pleasantly surprised to find a point-and-click adventure game, here although that part was a bit short :)
Came for the jazz music. Stayed for the jazz music, (and relaxed gameplay). Awesome :)
Strong graphics, sound and atmosphere. Really polished work. Well done.
I like puzzle games and this was a good one :) Solid entry. Good job!
Visually pleasing and the graphics/effects alone are a reason to stay and tinker with the gameplay :)
Very nice visuals and an atmospheric game. A little bit on the difficult side for me, but well done!
Liked the graphics and models. A little variation of turrets and planets would make the game even better.
Awesome graphics, music and voiceacting :) I enjoyed the gameplay. It was kind of fiddly attacking the enemies, (no feedback on wether you hit or not), but awesome game. Well done.
Good entry. I liked the atmosphere of the game. A little more effects, (and polish), could make this a great game.
Very original idea. I'm glad I tried this :)
Absolutely priceless :) The intro, the voiceovers, the humor. Thank you for the experience, well done.
Nice game. Felt quite rewarding blowing up the enemy tanks. I felt the cameramovement made it more difficult to hit the targets than it has to be. This mainly because I was constantly circling the enemy and it was hard to predict the trajectory of my bullets. A story or some kind of objective would have done this game wonders. I really liked the homemade soundeffects. Specially the pouring sound when getting more fuel :) Good job!
Got killed instantly after starting every time. bug? Strange as I see other could play it.
Nice game. I liked the crafting mechanics and the element of customers. Well done.
I like the idea considering this is a short game. Struggled to eat the souls though :) Good job.
I enjoyed this. A nice game mechanic I could play for a long time. Implementation of sound would lift this game considerably.
Very nice soundtrack. Fun game. Bonus points for being able to break windows :)
This is a top notch game. Very nice graphics, sfx, particle effects etc. Very professional looking. I found the gameplay somewhat difficult, but it was innovative. Well done!
Nice game and solid entry. Too difficult and too many restarts for me :)
Fun game. Like the idea. Kept me going for a while :) A little bit fiddly to draw with the mouse, but maybe that was intended?
Nice game idea and love the relaxed soundtrack. I struggled to orient myself with the map. Good graphics, good job!
Nice models and art. This would be a much better experience with sound, but you already know that :) I like the game mechanics and the game idea.
I liked the betting mechanics. Apart from that a nice platformer game.
@thisal Yeah, there is a lot of improvements to be made. The enemy is moving on a navmesh and should avoid obstacles. It doesn't detect you when it's "back" is turned towards you. I didn't have time to visualize the front/back of the enemy :) The movement code and camera is really simple. Just check the source code. Thank you for your consctrutive feedback.
@generalanimal Yes, I wanted to do something like that, but never got around to it. It's supposed to be a little bit of a guessing game, but not this much.
@von-vista I'm glad you liked it. I agree, the UI needs some serious improvement :)
@barrier Yes I know. It is a bug that you can't restart/continue when you die. (But you can restart if you just get lost). If I just had more time... :)
Thank you all for your feedback!
@mrnyarlathotep Yes, you have a valid point. This is more of a fine tuning of the mechanics. I already have many ideas on how to improve this. Regarding the first level: The battery on the conveoyr belt is full. Which means it doesn't matter if you spend all your energy on getting the belt moving. As long as you go straight for the door after getting the energy from the full battery. Thanks for your feedback!
@mrnyarlathotep Aha, good to know, thanks.
@antoined73 Glad you liked it :) No, you lose more life getting shot.
@jofersgames It's only me :) This was a compo entry. My twitter account is @attala_ but I haven't been tweeting much myself. Maybe in the future. My plan is to continue on this game, and a couple of other neverending projects :) Glad you liked the game!
@miu Glad you liked it. I can only say that it's really satisfying working on the post LD version and getting rid of those collision bugs :)
@edevjogos That's funny. I hadn't noticed that :) Thanks for pointing it out. Glad you liked it.
@coleslaughter I agree :) The enemies was implemented late in the 48 hours when I was tired and suddenly became afraid that the game would be too boring. I've had a lot of feedback on this issue, and many say the same as you. I'm working hard on the post LD version at the moment and the enemies have changed fundamentally. They still pose a threat, but in a totally different way. They don't shoot, and they are now a part of the puzzle. (You lure them into traps to drain their energy etc.) Thank you for your feedback!
Nice action game. Liked the retro look and feel :)
There, you are over 20 votes :) I like this game. I think the movement of the main character was a bit slow and as others have stated the camera controls could be better. Apart from that this was a solid entry with good graphics, sound and game mechanics. Good job!
Nice game. Found it difficult but fun :)
Nice game. The controls didn't quite hit the mark for my taste, but the level design makes up for it :) The soundtrack got a little annoying after a while. Anyway, well done!
This was a fun game and concept. I could play this for hours with some more variety in graphics and sfx, (and story?) Good job!
This game kind of sucked me in :) I liked it. After a while I got tired of the music but well done!
Spot on with the mood, graphics and sound. Initially I struggled to figure how to control the seed but got it before I gave up :) When I got up to speed there seemed to be som problem with rendering the seed. (Like there was one flickering copy of the seed just ahead). I suspect this comes down to V-sync problems or something like that. (I'm on a 144 fps gaming monitor with G-sync). Overall a nice submission!
Nice graphics, and a simple and easy to understand game. The game is a bit too "zoomed" in for my taste. Diffcult to see what is about to hit you.
I like this game mechanic. Sound would have done wonders to this game. Tooltips on the buttons would also have been nice. Overall a nice submission!
Cute game, but very hard. I like the progression system, but it was so hard I never progressed :)
"Your life hasn't any sense", well that's a bummer :) Seriously, I really liked this game idea. Simple ande fits the theme well. Good job!
Moved boxes for a while. Is carrying boxes boring? The answer is no :) Fun start to a game which should have been so much longer. Bonus points for humor.
I love this game mechanic. Kept me playing for a while :) Bonus points for voice acting.
This was fun to play. I don't know if I fully understood the sharpen mechanic. Good job.
Nice game. I thought level 3 got too hectic :) Good job.
A fun and engaging game idea. Almost too bad it only lasts 10 clicks :) Sound would make this game even better.
I like the style of this game. The audio is also very good. The game itself I found difficult. Very hard to see where you are jumping.
I like this idea. I recommend speeding up the animations. The music is a good fit. Good job!
Nice mechanics which fits the theme well. I liked how you "spend your life" to light up the environment. Well done!
Fun game. Nice graphics and effects. Some variety would be nice.
I like the game mechanics in this. Simple but effective graphics. Good job.
Priceless voiceovers :) Found the game a little bit too hard, but well done!
I liked it. The key combinations are a bit fiddly. Would prefer not to have to aim with one key and shoot with another, but maybe that is a matter of taste on game mechanics.
Fun game with good graphics and sound. Missed an effect or something when you are drawing blood from the zombies.
You really nailed the graphics I think. Considering this is nearly as simplistic as can be :) Nice mechanics. Well done.
Felt compelled to try it again and again :) Very nice game!
I liked it. Very dark so it's diffcult to play in a sunlit room :)
Good game idea and implementation!
Nice concept. I lived for -21 years :)
Good entry considering the time you spent on making it. I had no sound. Maybe a bug, since you have a key for muting?
Nice idea, but the key combinations could have been easier and more intuitive. I couldn't open the chests as nothing happened when I pressed 'c'.
Very nice graphics and sound. Took a while to figure out what to do, but got it in the end :)
Nice game idea. Good graphics. The "decision" card, (when you draw a number), was a bit underwhelming.
Nice art style and music. Fun game.
Nice game. Specially liked the blodcell mission.
Absolutely loved the music. Couldn't get jumping to work right. (Is there a cooldown period or something on jumping?) Anyway, good job, very atmospheric game.
The first enemy encounter made me jump :) Good art style. Simple game, nicely executed.
This is a great game! Fit the theme nicely and the graphics/sound is very good. Loved the enemy mechanics. This is something I wanted to implement in my game but never got the time to do it. Well done!
I really liked the mechanics. A good strategy game. Missed sound.
A refreshingly good game :) Liked the blend of tower defence and Plants vs. zombies. Sound would have done wonders to this game. Nice job!
Bonus points for an original game idea :) Good job.
Impressive to enter with your own game engine :) The gameplay is nice although a little "slow". Some colours would also do wonders. I really liked the technical detail that you can zoom all the way out with the mousewheel. More games should have this feature :)
Music was great. I found it a little difficult to navigate with the keys while plant where dying all over the place :) Nice little game :)
This looks and feels like a finished mobile game :) Well done :)
Nice puzzle game. Very simple art style which fits well for this kind of game. Got stuck after aquiring the grappling hook and 4 coins.
Loved it. Played to the end. Could have played more. Gameplay, artstyle and music is faboulus. Nothing more to say. Well done!
Fun game that kept me playing for a while. A good sign :) I like the game mechanics and the art. Music is well made but gets repetetive. The AI did it's job well. Gave me a challenge. Well done!
This should be called "The Crawl" :) I guess the gameplay is to click the feet button and then make some coffee and then click it again, and repeat until tired? With my entry maybe I shouldn't say this but I prefer more gameplay.
My mouse clicking finger is hurting :) That was a lot of clicking to make a new button appear :) Fun concept but my finger have to rest now.
Very impressed by the graphics! Is the game without sound or is it me? (my system). Although the game itself is simple on gameplay, it's enjoyable because of the robots graphics :) Some sound and a story/goal would do wonders to this game.
Great puzzle mechanics. And fantastic music! I can tell you're a musician :) This has the potential to be a good mobile game. Well done.
I really like the art and the music. Fun concept. I had some problems getting the controls to work. Like they were non-responsive at times. Do you have to hit ctrl or tab many times for them to work? Nice puzzle concept!
Didn't work on my computer. When I start it just flies through the whole level and completes the game in 3-4 seconds.
Nice puzzle game. Some more animations and maybe some more sound effects and you should release this on mobile :)
Can't start the game. Just crashes.
I agree that this can be somewhat repetitive. On the positive side the game made want to progress downwards. Got quite curious. graphics are good. Sound would be nice. Well done.
@zsolt Well, I meant to make an intro sequence which explains the "start with nothing" part. But basically it's a soldier going to war.. with nothing :) Thank you for your feedback!
@pestodesign Glad you liked it. You are now the recordholder, (as I know of)) :)
@gildar76 Hey and thanks for playing my game. The theme part is simply a soldier going to war.. with nothing :) Original plan was put in equipment the soldier could pick up, but never got that far.
@locomule It's my voice :) (Processed in Audacity)
Nice adventure game. I encountered some bugs like the text disappearing too quickly, (and suddenly said "oui" instead of yes:)). Not sure about the happy end though ;)
A good game idea based on the theme! I agree with the commenters above regarding finding the pieces you need. I would also try to make sure that the pieces dont spawn right next to an obstacle which makes i impossible to pick up. Oh, and I also experienced that all the lanes (and sidewalks were blocked, making it impossible not to crash. Otherwise, I enjoyed this. Well done!
Nice way of telling a story. Some puzzle elements would have madee the game more interesting. For instance if the letters/notes were hidden. Also, there could be som audible hint that a door/new area has opened. Other than that, great graphics and sound. You really got the mood of this right. Well done.
Interesting game. I like the concept. Easy to understand, hard to master :) Some sound would have been nice. I like the feedback/screen shake when you get hit. I get the simplistic art style, but this could be improved to make the game even more interesting.
Ok, just went to the temple and the game exits? Thats all? No enemies or epic swordfights? Nice artstyle though.
Not everything is great about this game, (mentioned above), but its a great game :) Played it for a while. There is something bout this that just makes you want to progress a little bit forther. Well done.
Refreshing take on a 2D "space shooter" :) Technically very well done. I like the way it surprises you by being a totally other kind of game than you would expect. I struggeled a bit with the controls on some levels.
Nice puzzle mechanics. I had some problems moving the character beacuse I always clicked many steps ahead. Oh, and on level 3(?) I suddenly walked out into thin air. I like the idea and the graphics. Well done.
This was fun but for me it took a while to master. I found myself in a frenzy of gunfire 2 seconds after starting the game :) Maybe you should turn down the intensity a notch in the beginning? I like the artstyle and the overall game mechanics. Shooting sound got annoying after a while. Oh, and my heart skipped a beat when a big dude with a club appeared :)
I also followed the development. There is no doubt that you know what you are doing. I especially like your art and design. Very nice game!
Fun puzzle game. Found it difficult to pick up and place the wood blocks. Sometimes it was hard to squeeze in that last block in a bridge. Apart from that, great implementation :) Well done!
Well done! Art and sound is well made. The humor also. The control scheme was a bit tricky for my taste, but I guess that's where the gameplay lies. It was also kind of hard to lose a "follower" when you have picked one up. I guess they only take one picture regardless? Fun game!
This is really well made. I like the artstyle on the character(s). In my opinion the levels could have been somewhat more in the artstyle of the characters, but this is a taste thing i guess. The mouse sensitivity was way too high on my computer. Well done!
As others have commented the game is hard to understand. I think you would have come a long way if you had "tooltips" on all UI elements. I like the premise of the game though. There is a core mechanic in here that I like :)
Really polished and nice game! Art and music is very well made. I got stuck in the ice cream truck. (But I found all my abilities first :) Well done!
For a compo game this has a lot of polish. Well done! I like the gameplay, although it got quite hard after a few rounds :) Music is well made but got kind of repetetive after a while.
A tutorial would be nice in this game but I totally understand the concept of not getting everything in place before the deadline :) Well done on the different planets. The UI buttons should have some sort of feedback when you click them. Sometimes I was not sure if the button worked or not. (And that combined with the fact that I didn't understand at first what I needed to build). Nice music, but it got kind of repetetive after a while.
As others have said the graphics are really nice.Music is fitting, but more soundeffects would really add to the experience. Gameplay is hard. A little more work and this could be a AAA game.
Nice concept. I really struggeled with the space bar tapping to avoid the lava! Sometimes it gets tedious to read/wait for the text although its funny. Imagine this game with a good voiceover instead of text. Like the voice from "Stanley Parable". Man, that would have been a good game! Anyway, well done!
Fun game. My best run got me to round 9. Simplistic but enjoyable. I didn't like the sound when you hit enemies.
I like the gameplay. Sound would have been nice, (as always) :) But still, well done.
Good game idea. The sizing controls are too sensitive for my computer. No matter how short i tap the key it almost always go full on or totally off.
Hi, tried it again. Now it's better but it's still very sensitive. Now I could play the game for a while but failed when you have to be accurate with the sizing. Is the sizing speed somehow related to framerate? (maybe that's why people are experiencing different sizing speeds):
Followed the development stream while I was working on my own entry. Fun to play the game afterwards. You really nailed the physics and the "feel" of the car (and behaviour of the egg). Simple but addictive gameplay. Keep it up!
What a delightful little game :) The music was nice and the voice acting too. Simple but fun and filled with mood.
Wow, what a refreshingly good game! I had fun. The voice acting and music is absolutely top notch. Good job!
Fantastic graphics and mood. Really nice entry. I found the gameplay hard but I'm usually not good at these kind of games :) Very nice job!
I really enjoyed this game. The graphics are very nice. The gameplay is innovative and fun. I forgot to put on some soothing music in the background so I was missing sound/music. Solid submission!
This is a fun game idea which is well executed. I like the graphics and the humor in the chat messages. I often found it difficult to know who and what to ban. I had to play the individual streams over and over just to get tha hang of what was allowed/disallowed. Maybe that is some of the point of the game though. Anyway, solid submission.
The tutorial start was nicely executed. Otherwise an entertaining game. Couldn't kill the boss. I guess there was a mechanic there I didn't see. Nice submission.
Wow, the graphics are really impressive in this game. As others have mentioned I think some more sound would do wonders to this game. Nice submission!
Impressed by the visuals and the mood you created with visuals and music. I wish the controls of the car was easier as I got genuinly interested in the story, but kept having to restart the game. Well done anyway, solid submission!
Fun game. Ran into a bug where the game became unplayable. (Like the spaceship was inside the planet). (On WebGL version). Really liked the rocket enginwe particle effect. Nice submission.
A really nice gameplay idea. I wish it would be a little more forgiving though. If you eased in the players with some easy levels in the start it would have done wonders for this game. Nice music, graphics and atmosphere.
Nice gameplay idea. I was expecting the camera to rotate but maybe that is what makes this game unique :) The execution of the gameplay mechanics is good. There should be some more explanations about how to do things. Nice submission!
Fun game idea. I had fun. This game really needs more sound effects, (but you probably knew that). Just think of what a catching soundtrack and good ambient sounds could have done to this game. Really nice submission!
This game is right up my alley :) I love strategy/managing games like this. The mechanics in this game is well executed although it is a bit difficult and unforgiving for new players. Very nice rope/cable mechanics. I think it would have looked better if the things you build are scaled down like a city simulator would do it. There is aleays the zoom function. Anyways, kudos on a great implementation of a fun game mechanic.
A known gameplay idea with a "clean" and simple execution. It gets quite hypnotic after a while :) Some more variation, more sounds and a killer soundtrack would do wonders to this game.
Neat spin on the tower defence genre. Really liked the guitar soundtrack. Made the game very moody combined with the simplistic use of colour. Solid submission!
Simple and fun. These kind of games can easily become addictive ;)
Love the art style and the audacity to try something new :) Keep it up!
Nice gameplay but too difficult for me :) Love the art style and the music.
Nice game. I really liked the mechanics/flying in this game. Well, at least when I got my speed up. It was very rewarding to soar when u have the energy. On the other hand it was frustrating to never have enough energy :) Maybe you could lower the difficulty a bit and let the player enjoy the soaring more often and for longer periods. I really like this idea.
This is very well made. I really enjoyed the graphics and sound in this game. The characters are just top notch and so is the background environment. The mechanics are well executed. Good job!
This was great. I love FTL so naturally I like this too. I just wish it would take some more time before the enemy becomes so numerous. Solid submission!
Loved it. Absolutely loved it :) And I don't really like 2D platformers. This one had a very nice spin on the gameplay. And the music and graphics and just about everything is top notch. One of the best submission in the jam category if u ask me.
Nice graphics and sound. The game idea is also good. I specially liked the fact that the game isn't over when the police spots you. You can still finish the game with them chasing you. Played it to the end. Could have played longer :) Oh, two things.The backgound bug on the second level, and you should make it possible to play the game in fullscreen in the web version.
My highest score was 1890 so I guess I'm not so good at keeping a party going :) A well made game with a novel game idea and good graphics/sound. Well done.
Nice submission. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to play a game with shooting and explosions after hours of plant- and egg keeping :) Good job!
A very entertaining game. I really like the idea. I wish the pacing would be slower as it gets quite chaotic quite fast. Love it when the bodyguards sacrifice themselves :) Nice submission!
Very nice graphics and mood. Fun gameplay. The game gives you a very pleasant and calm introduction to the game, and then it gets really stressfull :) I think my own heart started beating faster too. Good job!
Fantastic game experience! My daughter couldn't stop playing it. The graphics and sound really make a nice atmosphere/mood. Fun little twist at the end :)
Hey, a history lesson! Being a space nerd myself I kind of like it :) Could easily add some more on the gameplay side, and som sound would also do wonders. Nice submission!
You have taken a very simple game idea and implemented it in a very nice way. With simple graphics and a nice soundtrack you created a mood perfect for this type of gameplay. There is no AAA production value here, but it does it's job well. It's entertaining to play. Good job.
As others have stated a nicely polished game. The game mechanics are well executed. I like the ranking/achievements/score system. Well done.
Nice idea for a game and nice execution. A little more animations would have done wonders for this game. Nice submission.
I like the game idea as I'm fond of this type of strategy games. Some elements are well executed like the graphics and most UI elements. A little more polish on the mechanics would do wonders though. nice submission.
Nice submission for your first LD. The gameplay is good. Adding animations and sound would as you've already mentioned do wonders for this game. Good job!
Nice puzzle game idea. My daughter loved it. Sound would have done wonders for this game. I also missed a quit button :) Otherwise well executed mechanics and an overall fun gane.
LMAO, what a fun game. The graphics and sounds make this simple game so entertaining. Good work!
nice submission which could easily become a mobile game. Really missing sound as it would have improved the game massively. Anyway, nice graphics and execution of mechanics. Couldn't get the Quit button to work.
Interesting idea. I like the strategic element in this game. Nice game.
Really like the artstyle and the music. I found the gameplay to be difficult, but I'm usually not good at 2D platformers :) Good job!
The art style and music go well togther in this game. A lot of fun to play, but far too difficult for me :) The gameplay is addictive. There is an element of "just one more try" here. If the player fails it doesn't feel like it's the games fault and I like that. Good job!
Hey Pomo. Really liked your game. Fun mechanics and well executed. Regards from SuphaMahn :)
How refreshing to see a proper point-and-click adventure game! My daughters loved it and played it to the end. The highlight for them was when the creature produced poo :) I really liked the art style which sets the mood nicely. Well done!
Cool voice acting and nice game mechanics. My daughter loved it and wants to play more :) Nice submission.
This is a simple game which is very pleasant to play. I really liked the atmosphere. The spaceship graphics are spot on. What I didn't like is the sudden flip (roll) to the sides when tapping A or D. It is so much more pleasant when you just hold the key down and it gradually rolls. It's a minor thing though. Oh and you nailed the "coming home" feeling when Mars starts to appear. For such a simple game this is very well executed. I got to Mars with 200 alive.
Had to try game again as there was a new version. Still liking it. Glad to see you got the instantaneous roll animation fixed. However, now I feel the animation is too slow :) It should roll gradually as it does now, but faster so it matches the actual change in direction. Nice addition with the arrows on the side, and still loving it when Mars appears :)
Nice gameplay idea. I like the graphical style and music. A bit lower difficulty would have done wonders for this game. Good job!
I found the gameplay difficult, but it's probably just me :) I would like some more hints as to when the plants needed water, but maybe it would get too easy then. Fun game mechanic and well executed.
Very nice graphics. Loved the "cutscene" at the start. Also liked the puzzle elements. Had to die several times to figure out the mechanics though :) Couldn't quite get used to the controls. The mining car ride was a nice twist. Oh, and some of the buttons doesn't work in the options menu, (but you probably knew that). Nice submission!
Interesting idea. I like tinkering games like these. The graphs are a nice visual representation of what is going on. Solid submission.
Very nice art and sound (music)! Really sets the mood. Nice twist on the gameplay idea. The keyboard keys where unresponsive for me. Made it difficult to play. Could be just me and my computer though :)
Nice little game. I sucked at the game though :) Is the AI on singleplayer at all beatable? Some animations on the Dodos would do wonders for this game. Good job!
Love the fact that you can drift with the vroomba :) Also loved the music. Gameplay is fun, but could have some more variation after the first minutes. Nice submission!
Nice music and overall aestethics. The graphics are simple but they convey the "mood" very effectively. As for gameplay it is fun to play, but I wish it could have been more forgiving. The difficulty set aside, I found the game to be relaxing in a way. Well done for a compo entry. Missed a quit button.
Played with keyboard and the highest score I got was 180. I'm happy with that :) Kudos to nice graphics and a general mood you've created. Good job.
I guess you know this but you deserve a medal for the song :) Absolutely brilliant use of voice in a game jam. The gameplay is original. I enjoyed it until the "wives" started showing up. Didn't know what to do then, but I may be bad at the game.
Lol @ the voice acting. Fun game with humour. Nice idea. Good job.
Made the perfect meal and then only found a "retry" button :( I wanted more, I've proven to be a good cook! Give me more ingredients and more recipies! More, you hear me, more! Mooooore!
Fun little game by the way.
Wow, despite the "simple" graphics this was a very engaging game. There is something about the dialog and story that is just right. Music fits very well. Good job.
A good execution of a simple game idea. It got difficult quite fast. The aspect ratio makes this look like it was made for mobile. Add a little bit more features and this could absolutely be a good mobile game.
This was fun. I'm not usually a fan of platform games, but the fire mechanic made this enjoyable. The graphics is a good fit but the game really suffers from the lack of sound/music. The gameplay is top notch. Good job.
Played the offline version. Like the graphics and the music. Nice implementation of the theme. Good job.
Very nice implementation of the gameplay idea. I found this game to be a relaxing break at work :) Kudos on the music and mood you managed to create. Good job.
One of the best games I've tried so far. The gameplay mechanics are very good and interesting. The mood and the music is very well made! Only thing i missed was a restart/reset button as I got stuck a couple of times and had to reload the page to start over. Anyway, solid entry. Very good job!
Followed your stream this weekend while working on my own game. Nice to try the game now. The concept and execution is good. A little bit of sound effects would do wonders. I also missed a quit button.
Oh, and storywise, you have a spaceship and the weapon you bring with you ...is a sword? :) Anyway, nice submission.
Neat relaxing game which can be stressful sometimes. I really like the sounds and music. The vehicle could turn a little faster, although it's a slow paced game. Kudos on a solid entry!
What a clever and well made game! I usually dont have much patience with "text based games" but this one was quite entertaining. The whole production is very professional from the graphics to the music. Kudos to a very solid submission.
What a funny and surprisingly different game. There is something about the mood you guys create. As in earlier jams the gameplay is simple at it's core, but the whole experience is so much more. It must be the subtle, (and not so subtle humor). Very enjoyable.
Lol. Top notch voice acting :) Still struggling to find out which answer is the "right" one, but I guess it's just like in real life.
Very nice graphics. A bit too difficult for my taste, but I'm usually not a platformer guy. Liked the concept and execution. Good job.
Very impressed by all the mechanics you have made in just 48 hours :) I like the gameplay and the sounds. My only advice is that it could easily have been slow paced a little while longer. Solid entry, good job.
Bonus points for interesting puzzle mechanics. Like others have pointed out it's a little hard. I really enjoyed the game though. Graphics and sound/music is well made. Solid submission.
Followed your progress on Twitch this weekend while making my own game. Nice to try the game afterwards. This is very well done although difficult to get a hang of. The piano sound when crashing is a nice touch and of course the music is beautiful. You also took the time to make a proper options menu. I appreciate that :)
Very moody game. Good graphics and a nice soundscape. I enjoyed this. Good job.
Foolowed Julies stream this weekend as I was making my own game. Nice to try the game now. I really like the gameplay and the graphics are fantastic. The game is very polished. Only thing I missed was a quit button :) Good job!
Bonus points for graphics and music. Simple but engaging gameplay. Played on PC and suspects the experience is even better on mobile. Missing a volume slider for the music, but that's nitpicking :) Solid submission. Good job.
I like the concept of upgrade being the key mechanic to survival. Makes it a bit of a puzzle while also being an action game. Kudos on simple but effective graphics. Good job.
Wow, this was beautiful. The music is such high quality. The artstyle so professional. I'm really impressed with what you guys have done. Thank you for a different and beautiful experience.
I like this idea. Found it interesting and a good way to learn more about Hitler. As others have pointed out the text could move faster. This is a very creative submission. Good job.
For a compo game this has a really high production value. The professional music and sounds together with very good graphics makes this expereience very enjoyable. The gameplay is something we have seen before but the implementation is so good I found myself wanting to go on and explore deeper. Very nice entry. Good job!
Wow, a full point and click adventure game made in three days. This is utterly impressive. I really appreciate that you made it "old school" as in no highlighted/glowing parts to help you understand. Only good graphics and logical choices. I played to the end and I always get stuck on adventure games :) This was a very enjoyable experience, 5/5, congratulations!
Very nice clicker game. I really liked the colourful graphics and the humourus bug names. Got a little dizzy after a while on the fast moving levels :) Good job.
As it says on the box, this was a relaxing experience. I really enjoyed the mood, the music and soundeffects. The graphics are relatively simple but it fits very well and adds to the mood. Very impressive for a compo entry. Well done.
This is a very good compo entry. I really like the sound effects. Not my favorite genre of game, but I enjoyed this one. Good job.
Impressive game for a jam! Graphics, music and story are all top notch. Me and my daughter enjoyed ourselves playing through this. Good job.
I like the idea of funny ragdolling in a game! (I had the same one :)) Your implementation is really good. Makes you want to hit that restart button over and over. Bonus point for including prototype level for educational purposes :) Good job.
Wrote a lot of words and got really deep :) No idea why but I'm obviously a poet. Nice gameplay idea. Good job.
Despite being hard to master I like the flying mechanics. The implementation of a stall mechanic and wing contrails was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed this one. Good job.
Nice implementation of a tower defence game. I've always been a sucker for these so it was fun playing with your little twist to the mechanics. Took a little time before I understood what the different towers do. Anyways, solid submission.
You guys had the same idea as myself :) so of course I really like the gameplay. The music, graphics and the use of colour work together to create a verye atmospheric experience. I liked the "cartoonish" monsters :) The game got a little dark in some places which made it hard to see some obstacles. (But this could have been me sitting in a bright room when playing). Anyway, solid submission.
Bonus point for soundscape/mood. Enjoyed this, difficulty is right where it should be :) Good job.
A really well made 2D platformer. The music and graphics together make this a very pleasant experience. I found the game to be difficult, but that could just be me sucking at 2D platformers. It's hard to put a finger on it but this game have the extra "it" thing that puts it over many, if not most, other platformers in this jam. Two thimbs up from me!
My daughter really enjoyed this game. The graphics was amazing. (My daugther specially liked the helmet). Fun game.
Really like the art style. Combined with the soundtrack it is a very "moody" experience. I like the gameplay although I didn't know what to do in the start. Very good jam submission!
Very mell made game. Me and my daughter played it to the end. Was really missing some sound effects, but imoressive work for a jam game.
Nice game. I like the simplistic game idea and the execution. Would be nice to have some sort of animation or something when you get hit. Anyway, nice submission.
Very pleasant experience. I like the gameplay idea, although I struggled with finding the right answers. (But I suppose that is the game). The combination of sound and color/graphics make this a solid entry. Good job.
Cute visuals and music. Simple game idea but a very appealing implementation. Like the idea that you're not "killed" when touching enemies, just punished. Good job.
Nice implementation of a known gameplay mechanic. I found myself playing this game for a while :) The graphics are very good. Good job.
Love the voice acting. You can never go wrong with voice acting. Oh, and the game is fun too ;)
I killed Putyn and the universe is a safer place! A bit on the easy side but a nice implementation of a well known genre.
Wow, where to begin? The graphics are fantastic. The cat with the animations, just wow. The music, oh the music. Are the vocals you guys? I really liked the music, it was very atmospheric and suits the game well. The gameplay is a little bit hard. Too hard for me. I managed to climb to some heights but I kept making mistakes and felle down again. It is very unforgiving. Maybe it should be easier from the start? Well, anyway, technically this is a very good entry. It was fun to play, despite it being hard :)
Took a while to get the hang of it, and then I just realized I suck at the game :) I really liked the gameplay. A nice twist on something we've seen before. It makes you want to hav "just one more try" and that is well done for a jam game.
Classic gameplay implemented in a nice way. Like ithers have said I missed sound when shooting my powerful blasters :) Controls felt good in my opinion. Solid entry.
107 seconds for a score of 2490 :) I'm happy. Simple but engaging gameplay.
I can see you have put some brains behind the mechanics of this game. Like mentioned above I think you have a game idea here which could be explored further. I like this. Oh, and the music is pretty good too :)
This was very nice. Very engaging gameplay. Music, graphics and FX was also very nice. Impressive that you made all this in 48 hours. Very well done!
Fun game once I understood how to play. Like the art style. Agree with comments above regarding an indication where meteorites will hit. Good entry,
Thank you for valuable feedback @sita. That bug has now been fixed.
I can tell you know how to make music :) The music makes the game very atmospheric and is absolutely top notch for a compo game. The gameplay is also good and innovative. I found the controls to be a little sluggish. A more atmospheric lighting would also complement the mood set by the music. (The lighting in my game was a catastrophe so maybe I shouldn't be the one saying this :)) All around a solid entry. I found it enjoyable. Good work.
Wow, this compo game has a lot of mechanics. I didn't quite understand the fighting. I felt like I dodged the bullets but still got hit. Apart from that a nice mix of strategic and action elements. Impressive.
That was it @sita Ignored the obstacles. Tried it again and now I got it :)
Graphics and music are very nice. Engaging gameplay. Frustrating at times, but I guess it's supposed to be :) I would like the doors to open automatically. Anyway, you guys made a very good entry.
An original idea :) And most important of all it's fun. I do wish the chair was easier to steer, but I guess that's the whole idea. Love the fun comments. Best time was just over 4 seconds. Tried to hit the pools bt no luck. Nice entry!
Nice game. I found it difficult but I liked the gameplay. If I would make an improvement I would have a "tooltip" on the various building. That way you would not have to select the buiding to know the effects. Overall a very nice entry. Well done.
I always enjoy jam games with voice acting and this does it even better :) Really fun idea. Takes me back to a time when FMV games was a thing. Sometimes the gods becam angry with me and I didn't know why. Apart from that this is a very interesting and solid entry.
I really enjoyed this. (Execpt waiting for something to happen after alle the colonists left :)). I like the idea of tower defence with moving units you have to defend. I also like the overall aestetics. The small units/big scale strategy vibe is right up my alley. More units, objectives and locations and this could be a game I could play for a long time. Oh, and I also liked the camera panning. It felt very natural and fluid. Thank you guys.
I tried just using mouse and it worked ;) Clever game idea. Like the graphics and music. Specially the music.
Very original idea. Got the fuse over 30ft. Guess I can call that a win? :)
Original idea. It has some of the "one more try" vibe. Like the art style.
Simple game idea that just works. My thoughts after playing this is that the item falling should start slow and then com faster and faster as you learn to master the game. I like the artstyle. Good entry.
Nifty idea with a good twist on the 10 seconds theme. Controls and graphics are good. Good job.
Fantastic game music. That theme is so pleasent to listen to I'm sure it's going to stick with me for a long while. The graphics and gameplay are also top notch. This entry is quality from start to finish. A very well made game for a jam!
Ahh, this was nice :) Simple, but the gameplay felt very rewarding. The music/sounds lifted the experience. I just felt like I could relax, get sucked in by the music/sounds and just kill a lot of zombies. Was wondering why the SWAT guys were fighting with the zombies, and then it dawned on me.. I must be tired :) Great entry!
I can see there is a structure here which could be a good game. Too bad you didn't have time to complete it. In my opinion you would only need to implement a minimum of visual feedback, and this would have been a game which could be enjoyed. Anyway, good job.
@fifut Thank you for letting me know. I'll get right on it.
@indigo Glad you liked the game. There is a problem on some computers. I think it's related to fullscreen resolutions, (some of them). Not sure how to fix it. I've changed the viewport settings in Itch.io so it is more playable in the browser without using fullscreen. Thanks for letting me know.
@rasblo Oh no! I have to get to work 😀 Thank you for playing my game, (for so long) 😀
Came for the "turn-based strategy game". Stayed for the impressive design and sound effects/music. ..And gameplay of course. Good job!
No doubt this is a very good looking game. Nice implementation of "every ten seconds". Not a big fan of 2D platformers but I have to admit this one made me want to get to the end. (Didn't though, mostly because I suck at 2D platformers). Also very nice music. Top notch idea, design and implementation.
First of all, the embedded version on LD page didn't work for me. Like others have pointed out the heat camera is a really nice mechanic. That actuallay introduced a puzzle element I haven't seen before, very nice. You made something engaging in a sense that I couldn't stop playing until I came to the end. Too bad the game is so short because you could so many interesting situations here. (But it's a jam game :)). A little more "comfortable" sound for the footsteps would have been nice. Apart from that a very nice and interesting entry.
Ah, what a nice game. Graphics and sound are among the best I've seen this jam. Congratulations on a very nice piece of software :)
I like the mechanics. Nice twist to the theme. Got really hectic really fast :)
I like the gameplay and the graphics are very nice. The mechanic worked well I think. Was just thinking there should be a healthpack or something, and BAM there was the healthpack :) Idea, design and execution is very well done.
Hands down best game mechanics I've seen for a while. That combined with the professional level graphics and sound/music makes this a very nice entry. Very good job guys!
lol, this was strangely rewarding to play. Nice concept and a good fit for the theme. Nailed the sound effects. Good job.
What a simple but fun mechanic. It really shows you dont have to make something complicated to make something entertaining. Well executed design and gameplay.
I like this. Quite relaxing after playing a lot of action games :) The art style is very good and so is the music. For a fun, short experience this is quite good.
This was too addicting :) Simple game, but I still would have to force me to stop. Nice puzzle mechanics.
@gabriele-marconi @erlioniel Just have to mention it's not "guys". Just me :) (Compo game)
Really fun gameplay. Really good graphics/effects. What a satisfying game. Good job!
Love it when developers puns the theme :) Fun little operation game.
Best gameplay ever :) I really liked the "Bling" sound. Most realistic "Bling" sound I have heard in a long time. I enjoyed this. Nice submission!
Loved this. The use of "real" characters really adds a lot to the game :) And the music/mood is top notch :)
Nice game mechanics which works well. Some sounds and music sometimes came as a shock to me :) Kudos for a tutorial and nailing the theme.
Like others have pointed out the graphics are amazing. The assets are well composed and put together to make an atmospheric experience. The gameplay is fun although is kind of slow :) Really good submission. Well done!
A simple, but well put together, game. The artwork is very good and the gameplay gets more fun the faster you go :) (In my opinion).
Nice gameplay, graphics style and sound effects. I panicked when I got the "Nobody responds" message :) Good submission.
As others have pointed out this is a very well made game. The game mechanics is fun and different to other games in this jam. The graphics are very good too. Good job.
A good game idea :) Graphic style really matches the "mood" of the game, not to mention the music. Nice.
Very nice graphical elements. Oh boy the stamps calculating... it's like math..? :) Cool game mechanics and a well put together game. Nice submission!
The concept of this game is actually quite the same as mine :) I enjoy this kind of gameplay. It's hard to master but if you give it some tries it gets easier all the time. The atmosphere you created is awsome, and the music is great too.
Nice game idea, and impressive considering this is your first game. I did encounter a few bugs. My first sheep got eaten by the wolf and then nothing happened. There shuold be a "game over" event or a new crate appearing in that event. Also the sheep didn't get picked up on the point, Don't know what I did wrong. Effective graphics though. Well done for a first try :)
The artwork is really good, well done. The gameplay is simple but fun. The features that wasn't added would have made this even better. A mechanic to "slow down" the chasing police car would have done wonders. Great submission.
The web creation was a neat mechanic. I found it a bit difficult to "aim" for incoming flies while building the net. It got hectic and difficult fast :) Overall gameplay and graphics/music was very good. A well executed jam entry.
Love the atmosphere and the music. Always nice to play an FPS game in a jam. And always love small notes in these type of games :) Good job.
I like the level design and all the details. Is there a dead person in the bathroom or am I just seeing things? The ants really gave me the creeps. They are everywhere and I just cant kill them all. I had some technical issues as I'm on an ultrawide monitor, and the camera sensitivity would have been nice to boost. Overall though, a very good submission.
Congrats on making the best menu screen ever :) That song was just brilliant. The gameplay was good, the mood was absolutely brilliant. I really liked the graphical style. Very good job.
This was a treat. Very nice graphics, vfx, music and fantastic voiceovers :) Much of this has a really professional taste to it. If you guys made all the art and voiceovers etc. in the course of this jam, then this is really impressive. ..and if you didn't it is still impressive. I quickly understood the gameplay and really appreciated the guy rotating with his sword. I always wanted to keep going to see what was ahead. Very good submission.
@quasilyte Thank you for your thorough feedback! I agree on your points. Some of these problems are due to time limitations.
"if enemy is too close, damage is not dealt, it will screw the players closer to the mid game" - I think this is due to specific web browsers or aspect ratios or something. I spotted this before release, but couldn't recreate the problem on my end.
"jumping on the floor kills you, but if you land a hit on an enemy - you won’t die, is that intended?" - Yes, this is absolutely intended :) It actually took some time to implement.
"what is your opinion on 2D vs 3D for compo?" - I usually love working in 3D but I have discovered Aseprite/Godot and found out how easily you can make 2D games. So, yeah, for a compo like this 2D is less time consuming and leaves more room for polish.
Thanks again.
You guys really nailed the mood/atmosphere. The music and the sounds make this a very immersive experience. Graphics are also good, some more than other :) I especially like the water effect when on the surface. Good job!
Nice choice of name, classic gameplay, what more could you want? A bit too difficult for my taste, but the gameplay is good. Nice job.
Simple and fun gameplay/exploration. The movement of some fish seemed a little buggy. Some fish was also hard to kill as they were too close too fast :) Nice entry.
As the name suggests the gameplay is fantastic. Always loved these kind of games. There is a lot of depth to this. I like that you have to spend gold to replenish your units, which makes you have to think about the long game. Not just the fight ahead.
The AI also seemed capable. It avoided some of my "traps". Kudos for that. All in all a very nice gameplay experience. The graphics does the job well. I can easily distinguish the different types of units. I would have preferred using "units" instead of symbols/icons, but that may be a taste thing. The sounds could have been better, but I guess they do the job. Overall a nice submission!
The game freezes for me too, but I see it is a Godot game so that is normal, (it loads rescources) :) I like the gameplay, but it is very hard. I really like the idea so I wish it was more slow-paced. The graphics are very nice. I especially like the effect when the sub goes under water. Sounds/music is also nice and sets the mood. (I would like some volume control though). Anyway a very good submission.
Nice one. I really liked the music and the gameplay is both casual and intense at the same time :)
Didn't understand the concept right away. Some instructions would have helped :) Gameplay is nice and simple. Got me very stressed and the it was over :) Good one.
