Thanks for the kind words! We were getting a bit frustrated with little bugs by the end, so a lot of the things we wanted didn't get put in, and a few big things were missed, as mentioned, but definitely going to polish it up after votings done :)
Loved it! got somewhat stuck on the level where they're in ice blocks... but still an excellent game!
Challenging, creepy and fun... just awesome :D (although my mouse may be broken from all that mashing D:)
Looks very nice, but upon starting in the browser, I walked into a house and got a slick error straight away
Very nice looking game, and love the squishy sounds, but there doesnt seem to be much user interaction apart from choosing upgrades?
Love it!
Excellent game! Very fun to play, although I think turrets are a little too rare, only had two on the first round with heavy soldiers, got owned D:
Love the idea, just a little repetitive... might be the music, but still, very good!
I think I like the idea, and the turn-based (I think) style is pretty nice, but maybe just put a few more lights, or turn up the brightness, no idea where I was going and found the first rooms entrance by pure chance!
Nice idea, although as a frog, i could just jump infinitely and fly :p
Any game with a flying turtle lizard is great in my books!
Loved it!
Pfft, my best is 310 so far ;)
Well it's a badly drawn potato, but yeah, that's the one ^
One of the strangest things I have ever seen... kinda cool though... O.o
Ran great on windows 8-64bit,good work!
Nice game, bit simple, some dubious things flying at you... but it works well anyway :)
Awesome game! Potato!
Not an easy game, but a good bit of fun trying to mash your keys as quick as possible!
Really good bit of fun, so satisfying getting a reaction over the whole room
You've made a charming, tiny little pokemon game in 3 days... incredible!
Aaah damn. That's what I get for assuming my rebuild was good, can't actually enter the dungeon. Bug fix will be incoming soon!
Having lots of issues with the web build, so I've uploaded a windows one for now whilst I work it out!
Good fun, took me a while to figure out I needed to get to the markers though. Maybe they should be an arrow more on the screen?
Good for relaxing session in between the other more frantic games!
Incredibly unique idea, and awesome that you managed to get the networking done over the jam! Not sure about some of the connections other people (and myself) were making, but I guess validation and checkig wasn't the first thing on your minds whilst making this :wink:
The graphics are lovely and clean, but I found it just way too slow to restart. I think it falls squarely into the "one more try" puzzle/reaction game style, where you really need a good quick restart so players don't get bored of seeing the same reset animation 100 times before they've reached level 10.
Relaxing and pretty satisfying to play! A lot better once I worked out that big pieces take longer to fall so it's better off making lots of small cuts to fill the void.
I really like it! With more maps and maybe upgrades for your vehicle/power, could be really good fun.
Love it. Gorgeous graphics and sound design!
Really cool idea, bit of graphics polish and some extra interactables and it'll be really fun.
@schizoinside thanks for the feedback and playing for so long! It's actually intentional that you can't achieve a perfect orbit. You've got to be constantly be adjusting due to other planets and asteroids.
A good tip though, focus on the _opposite_ side of your orbit, it's a lot easier to control that by slowing down or speeding up than the peak of the orbit close to you!
@edalbung thanks for playing! Gotten a lot of comments about the physics, it's actually really simple. Just copied in the main equation from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_law_of_universal_gravitation and tweaked the value of G so it worked with much smaller numbers! (ish, the planets are still a couple million kg of mass)
Sound design I honestly just completely forgot until I started playing other people's games and realised mine had none :scream:
@shunaky thanks for playing! I'm loving all the KSP comparisons. Many hours playing that is the only reason I can actually control the orbits properly I think!
@kfischer-okarin the slow motion idea is really cool actually, might have to add that if I carry on after the jam ends. I do have plans for upgrades for the thrusters and such, even possibly an orbit auto-correct but I have no idea how I'd balance that honestly.
Really enjoyed it, although I think for me it was a little slow, was starting to get bored by the time many assassins started appearing.
Good fun, although would be nice if the bike was a bit more responsive. I think the difficulty should be in the amount of cars and their movement. Not how slow the bike is.
Absolutely ridiculous. I love it. Genuinely tense from that camera shake...
Cool idea, would love to see it evolve into a roguelike sort of thing with the cute allies having abilities to protect you etc.
Difficult to manage all the picking up and dropping of turrets and the orb, but I like it. Cool take on a tower defence!
Fun little game, but as others have mentioned a minimap or pointer towards the obejctive would be really helpful. Felt like I spent most of the time looking for the cube, not actually enjoying the shooting and dodging.
Cool idea, but as the other comment mentions, some upgrades to help with progression would be useful!
About the only thing I was going to say was it would be nice to be able to zoom. But you've thought of that aready, love it!
Gorgeous, but like others have said It's kind of difficult to figure out what's actually happening when you sell things. Some more feedback on whether a choice was good or not would go a long way.
I love the graphics, incredibly good looking. But it's real slow, enemies take 20 or so hits to die and the movement without dashing everywhere takes forever.
Love it, the sprites are real cute!
Got a lot better once I realised I could pause and stop getting overwhelmed by disasters! But really good fun, with some more visual effects it could be a great pandemic-style game.
Little touch to figure out how the whole food/health system works, but fun once I did. Would be interesting to see some ship upgrade mechanics!
Veeeeeery difficult, I think the screenshake could be reduced and the size of the rocket's hitboxes increased. Fun idea though!
Absolutely love it. Hotline Miami vibes from the style, and it's immensely satisfying to get a good run to the end! Would love to see it with a timer and highscores to try and speed run!
I love the sprites, looks really nice. Not personally a big fan of the gameplay though. It feels like there should be something to do during the combat, maybe abilities or something to help deal damage or heal?
Really cool concept. Would like the o2/stress meters closer to the action so I can watch the animations a bit easier though.
I really enjoyed it, something about the combination of simple but well-made gameplay and the cute graphics just had me grinning the whole time :grin:
Incredible art and music! Really like the concept too, although I did manage to break it by dying half way through a transition in an elevator :grin:
I really enjoyed that, felt very moody and actually had me getting nervous the further out from the fire I got!
Cool attempt, definitely needs more feedback though. Can't tell if the space bar is actually doing anything!
I like it, i'm not normally one for puzzle-style games but this kept me hooked for a while! Although it does feel _really_ bad when you end up with just heavy blocks and only two or three trees to use them on.
Interesting little exploration game, I think my main comments would be on the controls. It would be nice to be able to grab ladders after jumping, and if monsters hitting you wouldn't turn your character around.
Impressive amount of survival crafting game for only 3 days, there's issues but really well done so far!
Getting some flashbacks to playing Impossible Game in school! Definitely needs to speed up slower though, any more than a few seconds and you're going way too fast to react to anything with how small the camera viewport is.
Felt like a bit of a fever dream whilst playing, but good job getting a playable game done in time!
Really want to like it, but the controls and camera flipping around when switching surfaces makes it jarring to play.
Interesting idea, although (maybe I was playing it wrong) it did just devolve into a lot of chopping trees down due to how fast the infection spreads. I couldn't apply much strategy to it :P
Really smooth! Love the pixel art. Could definitely have done with some music and sounds though (not that i'm one to talk, I forgot them for my entry).
Really cool idea for a puzzle game. Would love to see it spruced up as a mobile game.
Really enjoy the style, although some variation in gameplay is definitely needed. Some verticality too would really improve it I think!
I really liked it, guessing there were some outside time constraints but the concept is good and with some extra mechanics it could be good fun!
Good fun, as others have mentioned the hitboxes on spears could be a bit more forgiving though.
Ended up stuck in a loop of dying somehow, but good fun up until then. A suggestion for the throwing would be to lock the angle once the user has clicked, I missed a few shots by having the wrong angle at the end of the animation.
Looks incredible. amazing pixel art! I think some more feedback on what is going on and the speed of the game would go a long way to making it more enjoyable!
Seems like it could be good fun. I would definitely swap the left/right controls though, I spent most of the time fighting against that rather than the aliens!
Bit difficult to use the orange rocks, as others have said. Cool idea though, could see a walking-sim kind of game like this doing really well with some moody atmosphere!
Spent the entire time frustrated that the ball wouldn't roll a tiny bit further. 10/10 just like real golf.
Excellent little game, first time I hit a bird and realised they were obstacles on my best attempt was infuriating... but that's on me :D
