I enjoyed this game a lot. Loved the graphics, music and gameplay. I want to play a lot more!
Very creative game. The variety of games is nice!
Fun and humor on spot. Nice graphics and gameplay!
Good game. Well done!
Interesting concept. It's a bit slow, but I enjoyed the pinball-like idea.
The game is great in all aspects! It was very fun to play it to the end. Nice job!
Nice level design! Gameplay was solid for me. The only annoying thing was the music. A suggestion I'd give is to have least two for interleaving each stage. The art is great. I loved the sprites and the starting/ending screen. Very nice job!
I think the music could have some work (the crashes during the song breaks the relaxing pace of it). It's not very intuitive to play, and the mouse is not very precise. Sometimes I end up watering the plant I wished to pick. Maybe more space between the options could help. But I like the theme and I like the choice of character too.
Very exciting! I rolled down the mountain too many times!
Cool! Merry Christmas!!!
Cute graphics. It remembers some old school pocket games. Pretty nostalgic to play this one.
Good graphics, good music and good idea attaching the assets as you get it. Fun to play. Nice work!
Full score. Congratulations! The best entry I played until now. Plus, it's nice to see a Construct 2 game around here. Great job!
Nice graphics, but maybe should have a story.
Nice game. I only think the music could be more "dancing". Something more rhythmic. Other than that, good job!
Nice graphics, but clicking as fast as I can it's not for me. I don't like it. But I'd love to see the dinosaur growing until it could eat entire cities. Haha.
I missed sound effects and the music doesn't fit. The graphics are cool and the gameplay is hard (and that fits perfectly). I enjoyed the aesthetics.
Interesting idea, I like the way the leaf grows. I had a bug when I tried for the 3rd time and the game stopped. It wasn't specified any error, unfortunately.
I think the gameplay is weird. The ninja always moving was kinda annoying to me. I missed sound effects too. I liked the ninja sprite/animation though.
I like the concept and the mechanics. The art is also well done. Of course there were no time for much variation, but with more options of warriors, this game would be awesome.
I missed a little more of "game". It is more an interactive story. But I enjoyed the ideas here. Nice graphics too, well done. The music could have some work. I like the way the theme was implemented here. Very creative.
The idea is awesome, but the lack of music annoyed me. I enjoyed the mechanics, the gameplay is very interesting. It seems in the last stage there is no ending condition. After you kill all zombies, it doesn't finish.
Nice drawings!
Interesting idea. Apart what Coomzy said (I also had a lot of trouble with the mouse), I think the sound of error is too loud in comparison with the rest. I also think that the "how to play" could be in-game. The music is cool, and I like the aesthetics. Good work.
Nicely done! Good idea and good gameplay.
Interesting mood, interesting idea, but it was hard to read and play. I'd put a sfx when the balls are caught too.
I'll be honest: the music is annoying, in my opinion. The melody's volume is too high relative to the other instruments. And it seems it's somewhat out of tune. About the gameplay, it's cool.
Loved the graphics. I missed some character animations (walking), but when I saw what was done with the plant, oh my, what a great work!! Great game overall! Nice job!
Very good game! I saw some updates of it too, it's nice to see you keep improving its art. The game is fun and beautiful. Loved the ending, haha, pretty cool. Good job!
Very good game. I think it could be a little faster though, you spend too much time gathering snow, I think. But I had fun playing it to the end. Good job!
Good entry. Small game with interesting concept. I missed more sound effects, considering there's a lot of collisions, and the audio quality of the voice is not very good, although the speaking is funny. It has a solid gameplay and it's more fun on higher level.
Interesting idea, but the controls are not very good. They stop when they jump. You need to release for keeping moving. If it was deliberately done this way, I disagree it's a good control. Other than that (and the lack of sounds, of course) I enjoyed pretty much the platforming and the need to keep both together. Good use of the theme.
Very good entry. Beautiful and simple (and hardto beat! haha). Good job!
Interesting game. It's not something I'd play for long, but I think if there were more types of buildings, more colors, maybe more obstacles, the game would nail it. Oh, and I like the music.
Interesting concept, nice use of theme, but no sound. It would be awesome to have some sfx or a music to create a mood. It could have some hints of how to play too. Other than that, good job. The pixel art is cool.
Very good idea. I loved! And nice solution for the sound effects. It added a nice touch of humor to the game. Hahaha, good job!
I enjoyed the aesthetics. Good work.
Personally I don't like the mood of this game, but it is well done. I like the animation and the use of the pictures. Good job.
Very good! I scored 88. Nice menu and art. I think the turning could be a little faster. The game would be more fast paced. But I enjoyed it! Nice job!
There is no music when the game is restarted. The animation could be a little better in my opinion. If you increase a little the speed of the running cycle I think it would be better. I like the art of the game. The illustration is great.
I like the idea of planting to have population to protect the wood (well, at least it was what I understood of the game), but I think the music doesn't fits the graphics. Neither are bad, I just think that they doesn't fit together. A chiptune-ish would fit better, or more detailed graphics with the music it was chosen. Besides, the game becomes too repetitive fast. You could add some features like the sun in Plants vs Zombies, where you need to look for the resources. Or some powers to be used against the enemy, where demands some input of the player. You got a good idea here, but IMHO it needs some improvement.
I loved the theme and the gameplay, but it was a bit hard to control. I think it would be better if the arrow to the elevator was a touch. I laughed a lot when I died, The drama was comic!
Very good game. I manage to give 14 presents. It takes some time to get used to the mechanics but I think it works. Nice use of music, sound effects and animation. Good job!
Nice game. Beautiful graphics.
I think the theme is interesting and fun. You could have used the arrows for the controls, it wasn't clear how to play and my char got out of the screen and didn't came back in my first play.
Hard controls, in my opinion. But I enjoyed the idea, of the gameplay and the story.
Interesting puzzle game. Nice ambience too.
Nice game. Although it's not created by you, the music was well chosen. There is some flickering on the top (it already happened to me, it's when you loop the background). You could solve it with bar showing the distance. (just a suggestion). And there's a restarting bug. When I hit R the game resets, but take me to the reset page again.
Nicely done! At first I was a bit lost, didn't see that the ant was already on the screen. Haha. But in the 2nd stage it made it clear. Interesting design!
Awesome! Excellent idea! Great graphics and mechanics! Congratulations!
Excellent game! 5/5
Nice ideas here, but, personally, I don't like the controls. And in my opinion, there should be at least sound effects. You might not have completed it for ludum dare, but I think it can be a good game when finished.
I missed at least a music for giving some mood, but it was a very nice use of theme.
WebGL doesn't make the game justice (too laggy). But I downloaded and I can tell it's fun. I got what you say by the trauma of snowman, haha. Pretty creepy, the sounds are well used for making the player scared. I had problems with the mouse too, I needed to ALT+TAB once, then it didn't catch my mouse again, but I played till the end. Nice touch with the log places. Although it's not very clear where to go. But I did enjoyed the game. The gifts in the end were nice too. Haha. Good job!
Fun and interesting gameplay!
The menu is weird. Too small, the mouse over is not responsive, it was hard to select a level, and in the end of level the game goes directly to the menu. I find it weird. Too bad. I really liked idea of the cactus being friend with the balloon. And the sprites are nice.
Dammit! Muriel is invincible! Awesome game! Music, sound effects, graphics, gameplay, everything excellent! Congratulations!
Well... it's a start. No sound, no animation, no menu, no explanation how to play... I enjoyed the drawings, though. I hope you can finish it. Good luck!
Interesting. Different controls. I enjoyed. Good job.
I can't tell which is bigger which is not. I like the idea, but in my opinion needs to be more clear which fish can be eaten.
Great game! Very creative! Nice work! Loved the aesthetic!
It's not working here. Sorry. :/
Good luck with the voting!
Soundtrack and sfx spot on, art well done and nice controls. The only downside is the lack of difficulty. There is almost no challenge.
I like the music and the water reflections. I think if the totem were more artistic, the game would be awesome. And it could have a defeat condition, like some sort of energy spent on each grow, limiting it, that way the player would need to optimize its use. But this is just my opinion, the game is well done and the idea is nice.
Wow!!! Awesome! Nice soundtrack, sound effects, graphics, animations! The only thing I didn't like that it messed up a bit my screen resolution (I use two monitors and it affected both). First game I played so far that did it, but I really enjoyed the game! Congratulations! Nice work!
Nice game. Good graphics, the music fits perfectly. I missed sound effects. And I didn't understood what is with those hearts. I think the game might not be checking collision because the bright obstacles (I imagine they are obstacles) did nothing to my character. There is some text alignment issues here too. In my opinion, I I think it could have the option to press a button to advance the text. But the game is well done. Great mood!
Thank you very much!
Thank you all for the feedback! @dalbinblue, the choice for the keys were intentional. It gave some "difficulty" to the game. We're going to port it for Android, there we won't have much choice but make a "touch left/right" to jump, but in the keyboard it's kinda cool to have to use both hands (in our opinion). But it's a valid suggestion you gave, we appreciate!
Thank you all for your feedback!!!
@SSJMetroid sorry about that. I have no idea what went wrong. :/ Maybe ctrl+F5 to refresh would solve it? Or, if you can, try another browser (Firefox or Chrome are recommended).
@justinooncx these controls were intentionally chosen for adding some complexity to the game.
@zenmumbler haha, yes, you have a good point.
@Simonaiso Kind of. My "empty level" had the starting point and ending point. Then everything was calculation. Indeed I did more math than I expected to create those levels. Haha.
Can't rate this. The game is flickering a lot here. Sorry.
Very good! I missed more obstacles, but its fun to play. The theme is well applied and the art is fun. Simple, but with attention to the details (the girl is frequently looking back with the eyes. Nice touch!) Plus, nice sound design. Few of the games I played took time to care about the sounds. You hear when she steps in the water, in the trash can and the dog barking seems to be on the rhythm of the music.
I see your comment about the art stealing the scene. I think that art needs to be reviewed accordingly to the game overall. Your drawings fitted very well for the kind of game you did. In my opinion, it's better to have some simple drawings and consistency of art than having a lot of awesome graphics without an aesthetic to the game. And the drawings are indeed funny. Well done!
I don't know if it is a good one but here is my best stats, just for the record: Score 815 - Combo 38 :P
My only suggestion is to put some tolerance of movement to the character camera, that way he could jump small heights without the view being locked to it. I like the idea of "only forward". Good job!
Nice sounds and graphics. It wasn't clear how to play at first, but I think I understood. It isn't fun to replay it a lot at this state, but with more time of development could become a very good game. I like the concept here.
Congratulations on finishing it!
The game is simple, nice mood, but what I really enjoyed was the way the theme was done. Two button controls, haha. Nice job! :D (oh, and I got the firewall alert too btw)
Try to use some sound effects. It makes a big difference. I think the racket is too fast (but might be my impression only). Congratulations on finishing it. I think the game is fun.
I think the art is not consistent, the flower style is very different from the rest, in my opinion. The sound effects and music are cool, retro-style. I enjoyed the controls, it's challenging to control and shoot. Interesting game. Good job.
Interesting level design, could have a music, our ambient effects. I like the footsteps sounds though. Cool puzzles, to bad the try again loop prevented me from playing sometimes, but the game is nice. Good job!
Fun! Hahaha, I reached 6299 in the 3rd try and didn't manage to get to it again. Very nice game! Art, physics, humor. Nice job!
Confusing at first, but very fun when you figure out. Actually, it makes sense to have to hold the button, I didn't just expected it. Nice idea, nice audio, cool illustration e good gameplay. Congratulations!
Good game! I like the puzzles. Challenging but beatable, after you figure it out. Nice work!
The concept is interesting, but it became kinda boring very soon. To much sub actions to manage, even for a walk. It might became a good game with some thought on the game design.
Confusing game. In my second try it froze on "Floor 1" screen. But in my playthrough, I think it wasn't clear what I was supposed to do. And the combat was hard, you can't hit the enemy unless you're in a specific distance, not near and not far. I think you could work on the music too. It'd give a big plus to the game. There's potential, but it's hard to achieve it in 48h. Anyway, good job finishing it!
Hard to see what is bullet, what is power up, but it is beautiful. I enjoyed the aesthetics and the animation. The idea is nice too, losing power as you shoot. Nice game, congratulations!
Thank you for reviewing it!
