What a simple concept, yet so much fun! :)
libgdx FTW!
Fun little game. Make it pretty and it'd be killer :)
Great game. Quite challenging but really well designed.. Cheers!
Wow, this was cool. Great take on the theme as well.. Music and audio would have made this a killer game.
Nice little game. Love digging around.
I think it could've really benefited from some sort of increasing difficulty as I found it quite hard to even get past stage 1 without any hints! :)
Overall: An amazing little title with some pretty creative elements.
Fun little platformer :)
Controls are a bit frustrating at times.. And some music would have definitely added to the atmosphere!
Love the colour change mechanic! Really cool idea. Wish there was some nice music to go along with it.
Nice :) I like the fog / restricted view.
Got stuck a few times as the collision is a little bit weird.
Great little title :) This would be perfect on a mobile device..
Nice little pacman style game :) Congrats on first LD
Fantastic little game. Love the atmosphere!! Controls are a little hard at times but overall top game.
Nice game :) Just add more levels and this will be sweet
This is pretty incredible. Well done! Really enjoyed this.
Something really interesting about this game. I like the music, brings back memories.. Well done!
Love this. Very clever game concept and interesting mood with the audio and blurry background. I do wish that the controls were a bit more forgiving as it can get a little frustrating. But keep tweaking this, I think the idea and concept is pretty innovative.
Great start to what could become a fun game. Controls felt a little slow to response almost like there was tiny delay on it. Cheers
Ha, took me a while :) Love the idea though..
Absolutely beautiful. I really wish more games would use this kind of story telling.
Stunning.
This didn't work for me :(
Just crashes when starting up..
Neat game play. Makes me think - I like it :)
Awesome game :) Love the concept and gave me a good laugh!
Fun and challenging game :) Enjoyed playing it.
Some really nice ideas in there :) I think if you'd introduce the game mechanics slowly it'd be a lot nicer to the player.
Surprised this hasn't gotten more ratings! Definitely a good entry.
Cheers,
Bach
Thank you :)
Thanks everyone for playing :)
@N0_Named_Guy: Unfortunately I couldn't test it on Linux :( I'm working on uploading an applet so that should hopefully work through your browser.
@foobaz: Thanks for that, I'm looking into it. Not sure why you had to get the assets from the source though, they're definitely included in the jar.
The source is a royal mess.. :P
@foobaz & @N0_Named_Guy - I uploaded a web version.. Hopefully It'll work on Linux :)
@foobaz: glad the applet worked. And yes there's not much to the ending, except it's an ending :) I ran out of time and needed to somehow finish it.
@marudziik: Yes!! Was waiting for someone to discover that one :)
@grimloom: Longer "full" version is in the plans. I had a design ready for 6 stages but just couldn't pull it off in 48hrs. Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, thanks for all the love people :) I'm already working on more content..
Meanwhile I polished a few things up and added an enhanced version. Cheers!
Thanks everyone for playing and rating :)
Really nice game concept. Loved the mix between "story" telling and the ui stuff. Neat.
Frustrating auto-scrolling though. Cheers
Interesting game :) Wish I could test it with someone, as playing it by myself is too hard for me.. Ha!
Love, love the game concept. Enjoyed not having to control the little man and just provide bridges for him.
Awesome job!
Nice little game concept. Enjoyed pulling my head around space :)
It can be a little hard to control at times which can make it pretty unpredictable and more random than it's actually about being good.
Nice, love this kind of stuff!
Amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Nice entry! Felt nicely polished and well playable. My only complaint is the lack of proper audio :/ could have done a lot more there.
Nice little idea. Needs to be faster IMO.
Very cool. Very very cool. Loved it :)
Fun and addictive!! :) *highfive*
Cool stuff. Short but eh, it's sweet :) Lovely artwork you got going there. Love the green vibe. Keep working on this please!
Very enjoyable :)
Like the concept of the scenes stacking on top of each other. Quirky overall :)
This was great! :) Loved the main mechanics..
Impressive for 5 hours :) Would love to see a more polished version of this..
Nicely polished! :)
Lovely game. Has a very distinct 16bit era feel. Would've loved to see some soundtrack in this would have definitely taken it up a notch!
Overall though, very impressive for the amount of time available.
Cheers
Bach
Ok, I couldn't really figure this out :( Please supply some more specific instructions.. Seems like it could be cool!
Unfortunately doesn't work properly :/ Intro is fine and after that it just doesn't do anything on the main screen..
Probably my favourite game so far in this entry. It's simply brilliant in every way.
But yes, this _needs_ to have audio.
This is cool. Great amount of polish! I agree though that the speed is a little slow.
Awesome entry.
Fun idea! But it seems a little bugged. I got stuck multiple times where I couldn't move anywhere.. :(
Really nice light & shadow effects! :)
Hilarious idea. Brings back memories :)
As always, love your work. Nice graphics and very interesting game mechanic.
I'm a sucker for srpgs so I'd love to see this developed further, please! :)
I love Dungeon Crawlers.. And the graphics style actually worked really well! Weird though, in all the best ways.
Great entry.
Alright, so this was fun! Loved sliding underneath those things. Made me feel way cool. Some more polish and better level design would make this fantastic!
Well done! Fun little game.
Some comments/suggestions: Wish the controls were a bit more forgiving it feels very sticky. Also, having to click through the tutorials every time you have to restart the level gets tiring very quickly :)
Thanks so much for playing everyone! :)
@Pierrec: not just you.. Working on an enhanced version with sub-titles. Unless you use headphones it's pretty hard to hear it properly.
This is weird, but in absolutely fascinating way. I love this. One of my favourites so far.
This was fun and made me laugh! Love how he packs away the paintings. :D
Fantastic job overall, really nice graphics.
Fun game! I really like the idea..
Nice! I really enjoyed this. It's got a very nice mood.
There's a lot to like about this. I enjoy exploration games so this was great in that sense. Lots of potential.
Wish there would have been a bit more polish overall.
Windows download gives 404.
Nice, reminds of the first 16bit 3d games. It's quite slow.. whish there was a faster way to move around and discover things.
Keep it up, could be an interesting game with some extra time and polish!
Love, love the idea! It gives me such a weird feeling not being able to rely on my eyes to explore everything. Probably what a blind person would feel like..
I do agree with everyone though that it's a little bit too open. More tightly controlled environment would have actually made it a more intense/interesting experience. Keep it up though! :)
Ok, the music is horrible - sorry :/
But besides that you got a fun little survival shooter. Some neat ideas in there. Some more polish and this could be a good game!
Wait.. so how can you shoot? :D I couldn't figure the shooting out.
Basic game idea is good, but it does get bloody hard very quickly. And yea, everything happens in the top left corner :D
Polish it up and this could be a fun game!!
I quite enjoyed this! :) Good entry.
Amazing game mechanics idea. It made me smile :) Keep working on this one.. Would love to see some more polish in the graphics / audio area!
I hate sharks. Said it before, but I really do hate them. However I love this entry!! :)
Awesome feel and artwork (incl. music!). However I felt it was quite slow.. exploring took way too much time. Put the walk speed up by double at least and it'd be a lot more enjoyable!
Hilarious and fun to play!! My favourite was rapid insults. Brilliant.
Ha, this was fun! :) I quite enjoyed this and you should definitely polish it out a little more. Something charming about this.
I'll probably say this about most entries.. But some audio would have made a great difference :)
Wasn't exactly sure what I was meant to do :/ But the music was cool :D
Definitely has a nice lonely atmosphere. Enjoyed walking around exploring. Though a few boundaries would have been nice. Fell down the cliff and couldn't move anywhere :D
Good work on the sfx.
This was cool. I like the game mechanics.
Extra points for the kitten.
Ha, fun entry. Got stuck as well at one point. But I enjoyed this! :)
Interesting concept and well executed :) Some audio to go along with this would have been amazing.. Enjoyed it.
Submit it to chrome experiments!!
This could have been fun.. :)
Love the fluids and bombs. Destroying stuff is always fun!! :D Would love to see this polished and released as a full game..
Cheers,
Bach
Hey pretty good for a first game. Keep at it!
Charming graphics. Usually the pointy end is the front, however in this case it was the back of the pod. Got me confused at first :)
Nice little maze game :)
Fun entry. I like the puzzles!
Good idea, but the execution lacks. Needs more visual queues.
Fantastic entry! Really don't have anything to criticise. Really well done for 48hrs.
Quite a nice idea. I loved how you just steal everything :) Wish there would have been a bit more polish overall - controls & graphics felt a bit rushed. That being said, still enjoyed playing it!
Nice entry! As mentioned by others, I agree that it feels a bit slow. Cheers!
Enjoyable small entry. Graphics have a good vibe!
Funny little entry. I enjoyed it! Gameplay is very basic, but the humour makes up for it.
I really enjoyed this, great job. And I think hacking down trees does make you a terrible villain. Good job! :)
This has some really cool ideas in it. I love the dragon's movement and how he "rolls" himself around. Very cool. Nice graphics as well.
Gets hard real quick, yep. Would love to see a more polished version.
Wish I could play this :( Get an error on Windows7:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: gd/xi/framework/main/GameStandalone : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
[...]
Could not find the main class: gd.xi.framework.main.GameStandalone. Program will exit.
It does take forever to fall from the sky :) Music is a bit meh. But I enjoyed this. No way I can get to 500 points though!
Wow - this is really hard. Once I understood what I had to do it was quite fun for a bit. But ultimately I'm just completely lost trying to multi-task this thing.
Very interesting entry. I enjoyed it. Thick atmosphere. Great stuff.
Great art-style & superb mood. But yea this needs some additional description/help. I could not figure out how to kill them. I scared a few of them around but no idea what to do then..
Would love to give it another go with some more details on how to play it!
Loved it. Great design went into this one. Kept me entertained for a long time. Inspired!
Fun! Some greatly satisfying moments in there. Top-notch entry as always.
As always, superb job on the audio. The atmosphere is fantastic in this one. Love how the audio and visuals work really tightly together. Also great story telling ..
But holy crap it's hard. Was this done on purpose? I struggle to get past 1 minute in this game.. Would love to see more of it if only it was easier. Maybe you could release a post-compo version that's easier to beat?
I'd love to rate this - but I feel like physical card games aren't a good fit for LD. If you end up making a playable browser version I'd love to look at it and rate it from there.
Hey Manuel777 - when you say you get "stuck".. Do you mean you can't beat the level or some sort of bug?
Anything in particular you are confused about? :/ Would love to help & provide better description if needed.
headchant, that's an excellent point. Didn't even cross my mind to allow that. Thanks for checking it out!
@Atomic: I'm sorry that it didn't work well for you :( I know there's a freezing bug which I couldn't crush in time. The 3 soldiers still left.. Are you sure you just didn't run out of Victory Points? There are 2 losing conditions, no units & no Victory Points. You don't have an endless amount of time.
Cheers to everyone for checking it out! Much appreciated.
This was obviously quite ambitious. This is a great foundation, but unfortunately does feel a bit rushed. Keep it up!
Haha, this made me laugh. Like the art-style, kinda works well for this game. Wish it was a bit faster paced though - walking around a lot!
Fun take on the theme :)
HA! This made me laugh. Sometimes .. you just feel like banging your hand against things. Wouldn't change a thing about this game :D
Quite challenging! But I like the idea of the power core "switch", gives a nice little twist to what I expected at first.
Interesting concept - but yea this needs more feedback to the player.. It's very difficult to decipher what's happening!
I enjoyed this :)
