A bit boring and frustrating.
Crashed too many times, but otherwise a good game. This could be a one button game... having shift and spacebar both is fine, except that pressing shift in the builder crashes the game if you have no wood. Makes it a death defying situation just to pick up a tower.
Played for a bit but got tired of falling off the same platform. I agree that the backgrounds especially underground needed to be less saturated so you can see better. I also had trouble seeing the probe. O_O ._. x_x
Cool for a LD accomplishment, funny intro, but not really that fun or innovative.
Cute. No idea why I won though.
Nice... but how do you skip the tutorial?
Nice to rate a game high for Audio and Mood. Loses a few points for not being that fun... the antigens do too much damage, sometimes they seem to hit a wall yet still do a lot of damage. And the defense cells seem almost useless.
Pretty hard to play, not much motivation to continue, works well except the jumps are very hard to control. I missed a platform waaay too many times for this to get a high "fun" rating.
Total score: -52. I take shortcuts through my brain. Good game, nicely executed. I had that book but my cats destroyed it... sad.
Hah, good stuff. Would make a good base for something bigger, as well.
Can't run, but you did say you'd be back, so that's not surprising.
Cute. Nice small game. At first I was "this is too easy", then I died. Interesting idea.
At some point some dudes seemed to randomly disappear... odd. Cute game, runs a bit long given the lack of any progression.
Good one. A bit sticky on the corners of blocks, maybe trim the corners off your collision model on the player.
Great... got stuck before the boss room though, rocks in the way and not sure how to remove them.
Yeah, errored out in Nightly. Sorry. :/
Cool music but no video.
Still not 100% sure what was going on, but I made it to the end. I've now conquered the world by crawling to the next trench?
Couldn't play on web, Windows download worked though. Interesting take, full points for theme. I didn't really find it very fun, though. Needs more satisfying collisions.
Pretty funny concept, but I quickly tired of watching that blue planet whiz by with little or no bearings by which to find it again.
Looks cool, sorry to say I skipped it for not having a web version.
Couldn't even move in the second level... had fun on the first level running around the world so fast I was flying into space without even pressing jump.
Okay, so... there's some music? I don't see a window though.
Clever enough. The click targets were oddly above the items.
Music gets pretty annoying after a while... good game, good execution, cute themed puzzles, but sometimes it was just too hard to find the right key to press after the stack had half crumbled, especially with the glass blocks.
Looks good, I really wish there was a bit more to dying. I didn't get any audio, and it was rough trying to defend your base when it only takes one hit from a rampaging enemy to obliterate it.
The audio is great! I do hate the lack of vertical control, though.
Those sheeps multiply like crazy.
Jarring... can't say I enjoyed it.
Ha, pretty great. I wish you could get more than one shot per ammo, though... and the ammo disappearing right before I grabbed it a few times made it that much more frustrating.
I guess I died?
Super sad... why did that refugee have to die?
Cool... but did I get to the end, or did I miss something?
Moody. I wish I could revisit the text if I skipped it too quickly, though.
I agree that it would be great to have a screenshot option. Since it is a windows game, maybe even a button to change your desktop background to your current painting!
Might benefit from some non rectangular alcoves for more.. challenge? Maybe this game doesn't need challenge.
Wow do I hate the level in the screenshot. Always sliding into things... Needs more sound effects I think.
I just die as soon as the program opens. I think I'm supposed to be dodging the blue dots? But they move faster than the screen loads.
Cute! Frustrating.
A couple of "spoilers" :
C - the number of suits (colors) or ranks (numerals).
Goes up and down as you score / lose points.
R - Potential "rank" matches (1 1 2 1, swap the 2 and 1)
S - Potential "suit" matches (same as above but for color)
If all the shapes change color, it means your level changed, this is reflected in "C". Making an illegal move is enough to drop you an entire level, but it shows you the next match (shaded dark).
Kind of weird that you take so much damage from the walls. Otherwise, a pretty neat game. Why does it take so long just to download the fonts?
