I played for a long time but never got to the leaderboard, but mad respect. I like how the Chroma and Vignette kick in as the magic gets unstable, we did similar in our game. Also the AI was well balanced and I liked how I was my own worse enemy lol! Great job!
Really good looking and sometimes you get a bad seed where the power ups are sparse but nicely done!
Love the smoothness of the UI and the game style of cargo tetris!
Only real OG's get it. Nice work! 4d5.jpg
Nice game! How may bosses are there, I keep falling off after second one.
Took a while but I like how it kept building to the end!
Best game of the JAM so far!Screenshot 2021-10-05 003106.png
I can only get to the screen right after the play button because of my ultrawide monitor cutting off the UI, if you can do a post jam windowed version (or different scaling mode on the canvas) I would love to try it!
You are forgiven, we are all tired! Didn't realize I would have to put up with monster attacks, but I got pretty far! Nice work!
So relaxing! I am a only a hobbyist apparently, but I can try again!
Graphics and gameplay are nice, well done!
I am a fan of this type of game, nice work!
This has tons of potential and I really thought the AI was done well and liked that it was challenging. The rotation mechanic with the mouse is not the best, but otherwise, clean++ smooth++ onpoint++ and fun!
Unstable Drunk Jam LMAO!! This game is brutal but I love it.
This was fun and felt good too.
This whole game is a vibe. Love the music and smashing cars through the very fabric of space time. Does it got ah.. issues, sure. Is it a whole vibe. Yes. Also yes...
I spent way too much time on that, nice game, I am blown away!
This is my favorite VR game I have tried this JAM so far!
I played this longer than I am willing to admit....
Nailed the mood!
Really dope, loved it. Recommended it someone live streaming to play.
Got potential, I like it. Favorite part is the lighting.
Great work, has some post ludum potential!
Haha, I bought the bow (with limited arrows) way too far in and had too many bad guys. Love the concept and it makes you want to keep playing to try out new items. Well done!
Love that it eats away at you, and pretty good AI too. Nice work!
Graphics and feel were just right, nice job!
Got to the end! Second to last puzzle was really clever, great execution!
Nicely done, this makes me want to dig into photon for MP more...
Another heist game (kind of!) well done!!!!
How.... I mean like... Theme, on point, game-play and idea are stellar. Just solid execution on all points. $5 says this wins it all.
This concept is amazing, nice work!
Won with 78 seconds left and 4 horns. (I ran away mostly) Good stuff, a little heavy on the motion blur and the bad guys really need some indicator or sound so I can tell if my button mashing is dispatching them or now. Otherwise, love the varied bad guys, power ups between levels (at a cost) and art direction.
Love the polish and pause menu is a good idea, I need to start doing that.
Great first entry! Also thanks for turning me onto LOVE, this looks like a fun framework :)
Loved the art, gameplay needs some tweaks but a great job!
GREAT entry! It was hard, but that's a good thing. Love the upgrade options and idea, ran great, looked great!
Loved the design and audio!
Liked it a lot!
Five stars across the board. Biped rig and animated, check. Rolling ball with reverse gravity mechanics, check. Rumba bot, check. Funny ending, check. I found myself taking longer to complete sections so I could enjoy all the audio work. Superb work. I especially loved all the unique ways you used perspective and cameras, and the swapping power mechanic was well thought out.
Needs some work, but solid idea and I like the style!
@stefenism, it looks like you need to include the "whatever.unity3d" file that Unity generates when it packages the game. If you need a place to host just let me know, I will hook you up! Artwork looks sick, hope we get to play it!
This is by far, my favorite game of the entire LD33.
Loved the game, got a little tired but just had to push through to see what was next :D
Love the animations and it was a lot of fun! It took FOREVER to download from "itch.io" though, may want to though up a mirror :)
I knew someone would make this game, I had no idea it would be so epic. Nice work, and loved the jam!
Voice overs were great. Game length and difficulty were set well I think. Nice Submission!
Gosh dang it! I really want to play this, I am on the latest version of Java, do I need the JDK too?
Nice! I love the art and silly nature. little glitchy but nice little sneaky game.
Nailed the theme! Loving the space games!
Wow, you had a really similar idea and I totally get how it flows with the theme. Good work!
Nice work! I was following them around to see how they were making the sand castles :p
Highest ratings I am giving any game I have played so far! I love mixing the 3d and 2d, and +1 for easing people into the gameplay. Also huge fan of the leaping death spike and all the animation. Well put together!
BWahahah I was able to glitch him all the way around and shoot lazerz backwards through my legs, lots of fun!
Very fun game. As others have said turn based AI was really fun, also difficulty was just about right. They kept escaping.
Great entry! These physics work very well here. PS. Now I want cookies.
Great work! It was fun, I played all the way through. Graphics and story were spot on. :)
First, I love story game! I liked the changing clothes bit, nice work.
Great game! Loved the humor, the AI seemed pretty simple but effective for this game. Overall nice entry. :)
Woah that got intense fast! Played it TWICE!
Fun! I love the pause sound lol.
RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I mean, um, good game!
Oh man scaring people is so fun, lol. Good platformer!
So good! Loved this game. Just the right amount of challenge. Hard, but you want to keep playing and get better. Love it.
Loved this game! Well made, simple, and good writing.
Had some issues but I like what you are trying to do :)
Had to reinstall java, must have not been latest version.
Nice work. And yeah, I made the right choice.
Bwhahahaha, I love it. Good take on theme and really nice looking. I could run around like that all day.
Hah man I built sooooo much outrage lol. Also the sounds were hilarious.
That was way more fun than it should have been. One of those things where its easy to critique, but honestly, it was fun and I played for a long time. Good work!
Ha, I didn't read the instructions and just started playing. I was so confused. Figured it out, and I love it. One of the best plays on theme, stellar graphics, multiple levels. Hands down one the most solid entries so far!
Love the style, would be fun to play a more built out version.
Nice! I don't mind a hard game, well done!
Graphics were nice, parallax looked good and I love the gravity work you guys did, gameplay is OK, keep up the good work!
Great idea and graphics!
Woah creepy. I love this art style, I can tell you put a lot of work into everything, good job!
Love the little things like the whole window shaking, nice job!
Love the music, very hard but fun when you get it!
Stellar animation and mechanics man
Wow, really impressed with the AI
Nice! Has some bugs where you get stuck pretty often but I love the artwork and mayhem!
This is the best I have played so far, I love the sound effects and just sheer madness!
BWahahahahaa! that was hilarious, but some bugs :) Overall I liked it!
Ha! This was crazy fun! Please make this into a full game!
This is like the personification of what a game jam can be, nothing to say but awesome game!
The longer you play the harder it gets. The game. The game is more difficult.
Took a bit of practice but I love the concept and cute art, good job!
The art and concept here are great, needs some smoothing out, but 10/10 would play again!
Super cute, but suffers from bad 2d platforming. The animation is AWESOME however and with time you could really have something here!
Took me a sec to figure out how to start and one death to figure out the object, but really intuitive! Also the music started out lame but then got a lot better, LOVE this idea, simply amazing!
Ran really well in webgl btw, and I love the art style. Of course the camera and third person movement needs some tweaking, but your animations and consistent look were really good!
I guess you could say this was well "planted". If you want to expand this more and fix some of the bugs I would play it!
Geez, I love the contrast of cute lolly pop kid and then holy crap demon horde thingy. Nice work!
Bwhahahahaah I could do this all day lol
I know you don't want rated on audio, but I think if you had more time it would have been a nice add on. Overall a solid entry!
Very nice, a little glitchy on movement, but love the artwork!
Nailed the theme and innovation, its pretty and I love the mixed 2d/3d. Good work!
Artwork was adORKable! and clever take on theme!
Cute idea, not bad for such a short time!
Simple but a blast! Great art direction too.
Wow, this is the best game so far. Loved the script, story, acting, mechanics, using the mouse wheel to zoom in and out was a nice surprise.. I just loved everything. No criticism to be found.
The audio, script, levels and mechanics were all great, but the controls are lacking. Good sub!
Ha! Got immmmm! Well made and clever, really shows off what you dcould do with even more time. Audio was fantastic btw.
Wow, nicely done. Told a story and good mechanics. Bravo!
Darn, I have multiple monitors and it set them to a rez they dont support and then froze everything up. Typically unreal engine games run well on my PC (I do test a lot of Oculus Rift Demos on here) but for whatever reason the baked in rez is just crashing me. Will test on another PC later, the screenshots look great!
I haven't got to try the game yet, but no web player is no big deal. Your game looks really interesting, can't wait to try it later!
lol @xXx_420_MLG_YOLO_BLAZE_pr0tip_xXx, and great job! Going to come back later and play this till I drop the bot.
High marks all around! Its hard to find a balance of game mechanics, story and production value, but you really nailed it. Bravo!
I really appreciate the details like the menu elements being style well. I think next year I want to try a .js game!
Just let me know when I can get this on steam :p
But seriously, wow. 5 stars everywhere...
Ducks are the ultimate gaming medium. 5 stars.
Has some issues, but I have forgiven all because I am in love with the art style. Good entry!
LOL, why is this so addicting? Great entry!
I hope this was as fun to make as it is to play! Great entry stars all around!
LOL, this is my favorite random entry so far :p
F3, muhahahaahaha! Good work, and I can tell with more time you would have been able to really polish it. Nice work!
I like that its hard, I know people tend to bail on your game early, but a walk in the park just isn't fun. Hard mode or get out! Good work!
OK, twine is seriously cool. Good work and you have some serious skills, can't wait to see what you do next ludum dare!
I am going to jump on the expand bandwagon, this is a great start to something you can really play out. Nice work!
Ha! This is fun, and I am a big fan of the style. Good work!
I like the take on the theme, what really matters is you took inspiration from it and owned it.
Fun enforcer checking in... good work, tight graphics, interesting theme. Boom.
Loved the idea, a bit (is unsynced the right word) at times, but fun!
What a fun game. I think thats the best compliment you can get right? Good work!
Nice take on the theme, you pushed it to its limits! Nice work, and good job on finishing it out!
Not sure what I expected, but it was what I expected. Nice artwork, mechanics were not too bad, but need some work. Overall very ah, creative ;-)
Windows download ran just fine in windows, simple but it works! It should be easy (construct is html 5 right?!?) to do a web export, I would throw that up and you will get more people able to try it. If you need hosting space just le me know :)
Its beatable, not tiresome, mostly not buggy and dare I say adorable? I dare, heck I ludum dare say its adorable. Good work!
I LOVE, I mean LOVE the main character. Wish you had more time to do more with him, also I like that the ball mechanics didn't do damage after a bounce, kept the difficulty higher.
I think the video idea is great, but I messed around with it until I figured it out. Great work yo!
The art direction and production quality blew my socks off! Hats and socks off to you!
Mood, theme, graphics, boom i think you nailed it. Please expand, will play more!
Download version works fine, good take on the theme but the text is really hard to read. Solid entry though :)
I love the take on the theme, and the friendly jab at game reviewers ;-)
Why am I so bad at these... Good work though, rock on!
Took me a while to find people, and then they killed me. A few playthroughs later I started to make a strategy. Its a really good start and thanks for turning me on to HaxeFlixel, hadn't heard of it!
Hey a good start, please keep doing the game jams!
Solid entry all around!
Simple, but the framework is there to expand it. Nice work!
I love the idea!
In a world of 48 hour games, Bird Runner stands alone and proclaims "they hate us cuz they aint us!" and the public agrees. Topping the box office, richard nixon had to say about it "It was pristine, reminded me of Paul Walker in a Chicken Suit, a fitting tribute."
note to self, don't do any more reviews until you have slept...
Well done! I like the direction and take on the theme. Good work!
Needs a goat mode. Loved this, and congrats for making something this polished in the allotted time.
Loved this on the Oculus, that sense of presence helps you get into it.
+1 @ ghost thing, and also I had a lot of trouble with that site downloading it, here is a free mirror from my site if you want: http://benmcnelly.com/hosting_ludum/TheEqualizerFandango.zip
Woah that gets bright. Found myself cheating by flailing my mouse all over to try and charge. Unless this was secretly a mouse flailing simulator, and in the case good on you mate, you got me good.
High marks for art and music, not thrilled about the flappynes.
Not sure what I expected....
Watching the timelapse of you making the game was even more fun than playing, really like the constant tweaking and you got it to a good place! :thumbsupdude:
Need latest version of Java to run, good game and not what I expected lol.
<img src="report_button.gif" /> Here you go! Oh wait :(
That wink creeped me out a bit but such a cute game. I thought the path finding was pretty good too. Nice work!
Best game ever.
Ignored tutorial warning and then came back and tutorialed up ;-) good game!
+1 for gamepad support also likes the audio!
Really nailed the mood man! Great look and feel.
Finally! Someone else with an Oculus version! I tried it very nice! I should do the Jam next time, 2 days was just not enough for me to finish all my game concepts. You did great though!
Amazing graphics, and ran much better in windows than web. Good work!
Nice puzzles! Keep it up!
Simple and fun, could have used another idea or two though. Keep up the hard work!
amazing art and animation, the feel is nice as well. I tried the new non compo version and its too bad you couldn't get that scene shit thing working for the compo, but it is still stretching it for the theme.
This would make a great mobile game, and I love the hardmode. Way to go mate!
Very polished! Keep it up!
Oh man I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, just make a whole game!
Nice little game and I love all the games using this framework so far, effects and art are nice too!
Simple simulation game but relaxing :)
Simple but effective. Just the way I like it! ;-)
RETRO FOREVER. +1 would retro again.
I wish you had more time on this, was a good idea! Nice start though!
Needs an extra something, just not sure what. I still loved it though!
I got up to four! Not a bad little game, keep working on your art and code and keep doing ludum!
Wow a LOT of work here, didn't really captivate me but nice job anyway!
Love the concept and gameplay! Title got me right in the childhood feels!
OK, arrow guy kicked my butt I wish ducking worked on arrow :P -- Overall I loved how much awesome you evoked with the sword discovery and the death. Oh and the little things like the change direction animation and easing. Nice work!
Relaxing and I LOVE the art direction. <3
Points for a great idea and almost getting there with it. With more time you have something really neat here!
Love the hard mode just go for it thing man, good stuff, and the logic part was probably fun to write! I can tell you really thought it out, nice work!
Doh! I feel stupid how long that took me. Nice job!
Oh man, I wish you had more time on this, could have been sweet!
Music gets a little repetitive but the game was challenging, computer wuped my butt!
I agree its simple, but I like simple and clean. Good work!
I would love to see you draw this idea out more! Did someone say Haskell? :D
Nice little game, but didn't really give me goosebumps. Good clean work though!
Love this art style and music was good! Keep it up!
Love this game! reminds me of "Bean's Quest" on Android (check it out, it is awesome)
Jammin, I played the whole thing! Well made!
Interesting little game, it took a while for me to get the hang of it. Nice!
Love everything about it!
Nice take on the theme
Great take on the theme and a lot of fun! Great concept and artwork.
My favorite part is trying to trick the viruses! Nice entry!
Very nice for first go, keep it up!
Just haddddd to keep playing!
Nice, I think I figured it out
Nice one, keep it up!
Day six... I can't feel my arms anymore. I must keep building. Must repair.. Why do the bombs have to drop on the crates! Not sure how long I can last. Look to the heaves! My salvation comes! END.
Oh man, that got hard but really well made!
This is my favorite game of the compo so far! Gah those were checkpoints? whatever. Hard core mode right here. Also please tell me that little bouncing pixel was the baby, I can't take this kind of emotional stress with this little sleep....
Bwhahahahaha! Love the music! Also really sharp and fun gameplay!
Nice! Well rounded game all around.
Congrats! Great start!
Whoa, this surprised me! really polished for such a short time-span and I love the art direction!
Hey great first run! Screw unityscriptjavcrapfakejavascript, just go with Unity + c#, also nice work on the graphics!
This was interesting but a little depressing too :p
Shows some potential, would like to see it more drawn out!
I liked it!
Ah finally got it figured out! Clever idea, and nice job! Graphics are a little dark but I guess that is by design :)
Great, now I wan't sushi. Nice job on the game!
Clean and fun, nice job!
I just learned about "RenderTexture" during this Compo (as I needed to render a camera to a texture and just hoped unity could do that) and it had my head spinning with ideas. I love what you did here, reminds me of an oculus demo I tried the other day. Very well done!
please tell me you really have that old TV. Interesting game and nice job!
Awesome! Two games, retro graphics and nice sound. Love it. * The hand thing is cool too
Fun and fast! theres a bit of a trick to getting a shot on baddies, but running away and letting them build up ends badly too. Nice job!
Theme is spot on, graphics are fun, never ending football field and players, check.. whats not to love!
Freaking LOVE the UI. I don't mind that its hard. the "slow" fade ins are a little rough on you since we fail so much.
Glad I gave this one a shot, very nice!
Whatever, I like the numbers. /me takes judgmental game AI too personally (lol j/k, nice game!)
Oh no! niko.dll is missing! I tried! You should be able to publish to Win / Mac / Flash (web) with haXe.
Ha! I screen what you did there!
Nice! I almost went this route but glad I didn't because mine would have sucked compared to yours. Nice job yo!
Nice look and feel, classic arcade style feel.
Sorry to report no audio on windows 8.1 here too :(
Otherwise very nice models and rendering. Light baking? Didn't get all the way through it but I think I was missing some audio cues.
Nice job! I played as both players and crashed everything. Wooooo!
Whatever, I like the flipping upside down part. Also the warning about the glass ceiling, riiight before I hit it! +1 for unflipping car simulator 2020
Loved how much atmosphere you got out of such a simple premise. Nice!
Heh, luckily I had mah 360 controller layin' round. This was fun. give me a punching physics things around sandbox and watch my day go bye bye. Nice job!
This was fun! Nice job!
lol @ Room Cleaning Simulator, I am too sleepy for this. Nice job though!
What just happened. WHAT HAVE I DONE. Lets do it again...
Ohhh this gets hard, nice job!
Nice, I showed myself who was boss...
<3 why can't I stop playing this? Gahhhhhh!
Love the look! So much polish and not bad on the gameplay!
I think you have something with this, audio tweaks what not but yeah I like. Voted on post compo version ;-)
Really pretty, and addictively fun!
Really nice graphics and pretty fun to play. Simple but really well finished.
Dude, I love this. Screw planes, sharks forever!
Loved the graphics and animation!
"your muscular arms are now pressed tightly against the wet stone..." - your writing and some of the choices had me cracking up or slapping my forehead, but it was all well done. Nice entry!
Didn't take long to get the hang of, nice mechanics and loved all the small touches.
Nicely done, I had an issue in chrome browser that caused the right click to also bring up the normal webkit menu.
I love it, simple gameplay and good animations.
Amazing work, love the audio and the theme!
Where did you get the picture of my house? j/k lol, nice one, love the physics!
Took a minute to figure out what to do, but really well made and fun! Also is that a dog squeaker toy? lol, nice one.
Surreal man... good job!
I like that you just said "screw it" and started making something. Kudos, and nice work with lighting and color.
Too much fun, I literally, figuratively died. Nice work!
Tons of potential here, and fun! Good job!
I think the theme is intact from the get go, I mean you are very literally looking for clues, and things are hidden under the surface, no one is who they seem...
I know this is going to sound weird, but my favorite part was the UI! The gameplay was good and overall a polished fun little game.
I really had fun with and probably spent way to long trying to see if I could get to places I wasn't supposed to, lol!
Great start, you should build it out more later!
Crisp, clean and fun, great job!
I just knew that was going to happen. Well done.
Good music, theme, gameplay, challenge and a finished product. Nice job.
Short and sweet, perfect execution. Also super cute.
But... but I don't want to die. I don't want to feel powerless and alone. WHY ALL THESE FEELS??!!!?
Other than the crashes, showed a lot of potential, and a lot of fun.
Solid entry, very neat and almost relaxing!
This is my favorite so far, love the feel!
10/10 would rofl again
Bwahahahahaha maniacal fun times!
gorillas.bas forever! But seriously the water mechanics make for an interesting take. And the multiplayer is just gravy.
The learning curve is high, but it was a lot of fun once I got a few runs at it.
Really great, and seems like a good mobile game too!
I really, really enjoyed this. Throwing a torch up and seeing all the color was a great moment.
We have a winner.
Wut

IBYH!? by Trabasura 2022-04-09T22:34:36Z ♥ 2
You really have to play through it a few times to get the full experience and its worth it!
Leaf the Ghost behind by BiOs3008 2022-04-09T22:31:57Z ♥ 3
Yes, the art style was killer and I love that its 2d with 3d platforming, really good.
Crows by lesinvisible 2022-04-09T22:29:17Z ♥ 1
How to play was a bit confusing to start with, I think its just because I don't play these style games so I didn't pick up on it fast. Great art and style, and a clever game!
Mr. Second by Marvis 2022-04-09T21:24:43Z ♥ 1
I know how it goes, you have to sacrifice time somewhere, and I am glad you dove into the deeper mechanics, and hopefully everyone is understanding of the somewhat tricky platforming and hitboxes. That stuff can be worked out later, solid idea, art, sound and execution!

Addictive, funny, fun.
