Wow, very cool.
Really well polished game, nice work!
Dat art! I had a hard time figuring out what to do, maybe some more visual/audio cues will help.
Has a really nice feel to it.
Really cool combination of game types, nice job!
This is a cool concept. I think you should try and make something more of this. Cool feel.
Really cool concept! I think it would be worth exploring this more.
I played until the end, very moody. Nice!
Like you mentioned, an objective would make this much better, but the art, controls, and physics are really nice!
I really like where this game is going, I got confused when my viewable area started to disappear, then I died. I hope you do something more with this!
Nice take on the brawler, good vibe.
Interesting concept.
Experientially this is really cool. Sound is totally working to set the mood, would love to see this with a goal in mind like you mentioned in your description.
That bloody explosion, yes!
I like where this is going. Controls were a little tricky at first, but they clicked eventually. I could definitely see a mobile implementation of this. Nice!
Cool concept! Makes me think of Tremors, then Kevin Bacon, then just bacon, mmm bacon.
Game won! I just wanted the circle so badly. I like the overworld, underworld thing going on. I hope you make this into something more.
Looks really nice, and I like the over all tone. I don't think the switch back and forth mechanic is totally working. Got frustrating when a sub started shooting me and I had to jump back in and switch to my torpedos. Overall though, nice job!
Loving this mechanic, I am also a sucker for fishing games. Those damn aggressive tuna!
Great arcade feel, pretty funny.
Controls ended up being a little finicky, but I loved the art work.
Really awesome feel and completeness on this game. Nice work, hope you make it into a full game!
Nice art! Alex the robot has a lot of personality.
Pretty fun platformer, would be awesome to see character animation in the next iteration, nice job!
This is an interesting concept. Didn't feel like I had a good grasp on what specifically was changing when I slept or woke up. Or if I went to sleep within a dream. I think it's worth continuing to work on.
Very surreal, cool feel.
I got off the sand island and into the netherworld. Long live cat!
Interesting concept, could only get to 604!
Felt really good, I think this game could cross over into awesome with more objectives. Nice job!
This is hilarious, pretty sweet controls too. This needs to succeed Goat Simulator!
Solid proof of concept, you should put some more time into it!
The lofi graphics are bomb. This is pretty sick, I could totally see some multiplayer madness with this game.
Love the look.
Art and sound design were really nice.
One of the better games I have played so far! Nice work.
Interesting idea for a 3d platformer, felt like a good level within a larger game.
Nice game for the timeframe. I think it needs to be harder, I felt like I could have played forever. Cool art too!
This is a great concept, very interesting mechanics.
Wowt his game is beautiful, really nice work!
I really like the dual mechanic of the character and the sprite. Nice work!
Very cool, I would love to see this made into a full game!
This game is strangely addicting. Nice dual explore/tower defense mechanic. More polish on the graphics/sounds front and you could have a really nice game. Nice submit!
Sharked to death! Nice atmosphere, great experience.
Couldn't tell why I kept losing, but seems like a promising prototype. Nice entry!
I like what you are trying to do here.
Pretty cool concept. I would like to have some sort of end goal. Good feel and can totally see this becoming more.
I think something interesting is brewing, just needs some additional work. nice!
Got stuck on the surface, but this has a lot of polish and smooth controls.
Interesting experience, felt a little grindy in this iteration.
Love the art, the animations are really solid.
This is a nice submission. Great premise, I kept dying unexpectedly though. Would love to see a full version of this game!
This is bomb, such amazing art, great tone.
Love the art!
Really awesome game, amazing entry.
Interesting ideas, I would love an auto select for the ants. I didn't expect to the like the space to cursor mechanic as much as I did.
Really f***ing fun game, nice!
Pretty funny story.
Wow, this is an incredible game. I would love to see a commercial release, I would buy it.
Interesting that you chose not to make a digital game, nice and unorthodox.
Not my favorite genre of game, but you all put in a lot of work, and the art is pretty awesome in most place. Nice submission!
This is a really great game. I can totally see playing this on my phone. Too easy in this iteration, but you all have something really good on your hands.
I would definitely like to see more complex levels, nice and fun entry!
I really like the concept of the two characters reacting to each other. Would be cool to see how this turns out with more time to work on it. Nice submission!
Unicorns for the win.
Pretty decent physics, this could turn into a pretty sweet full game.
This is as fun as the Waiting in Line game, nice work!
This reminded me of the glory day of PC platformers. Really cool, nice work!
Art is pretty sweet.
Ambitious submission, I really liked it!
This is a really solid game, the physics and controls felt great.
This game should definitely be made for mobile platforms, totally weird concept that works. Nice job!
Great arcade feel on this, audio felt like an old capcom game. Nice job!
Ambitious game, really nicely done.
Wow, yes. This is awesome, I love this game design. Two play coop on this too?! Nice!
So weird!
Loved the music!
I really like the move system, nice!
Felt like an acid trip, pretty cool platformer.
Interesting concept, it was engaging managing both levels.
Strangely addicting and satisfying.
Really well polished, damn cool. I little brutal with the restart, I kept on catching edges in a seemingly unfair way. I really hope you take this further, really nice job!
Fun mario action, had some pretty game breaking bugs.
The controls weren't tight enough and made the game almost unplayable. I love games like this. And it's a small detail, but I love the water animation when the boat is moving.
This is really great, I almost cleared the whole board.
Not bad, I like the one step at a time system, reminds me of some older games. Would have loved some creep dungeon sounds. You should keep working on it!
Pretty fun!
The graphics are charming, and this managed to take me back to early Mega Man in feel sometimes.
Nice! Love the brutal difficulty, those green baddies can suck it.
Dope, nice take on a super crate box style game.
The idea is there, the jump mechanic is a little tricky, especially the mirrored wall jumps.
The character was a little floaty, but I can see you have something good brewing. Keep working on it, nice submission!
Pretty cool platformer, I love the semi-cellshaded feel happeing.
I think this game has potential. The darkness was a little too much I think, nice submission though!
This is a cool concept, more or less a tower defense game but I like the variation with the character controls. Nice job on the cool down after shooting. I hope you keep working on this.
I echo this, DOUG DIED DIGGING. I actually like this the best out of all the digging games, no constant clicking.
Pretty cool concept, great art!
Really cool, loved the art and tone. This would feel good on a tablet or phone too.
Interesting physics, I think you all have something going here. I wonder if this could be implemented on mobile, feels like a great train game.
Really great art!
So weird, not sure what I am supposed to do, but it looks pretty.
Loved the art on this, great feel.
Thanks guys! :)
@starfeesh, where'd you get stuck?
@ that's a cool idea Logun!
@Brian, I know, the hit boxes aren't tight enough :(
@Bekokstover great idea!
Nice first try!
Nice! Keep doing LD's.
Cool idea, this could turn into a great JS/phaser.js learning tool.
Interesting concept, I kind of liked the bird's eye view.
Interesting mechanics, nice art too.
Sharks with frikin lasers attached to their heads!
Not totally sure what I was supposed to be doing, but it looks pretty!
This is cool, great take on the theme.
Gah! That double set of orange bad guys keeps killing me. Pretty fun game, love the audio.
This is a really cool concept that you should definitely expand on.
Pretty addicting, took me a minute to realize you can up your score by jumping on the same block.
Very strange game, but in all the right ways. Nice concept!
This game has such a great feel.
I got to the surface! Interesting mouse mechanic to move. I don't think I encountered any bad guys though.
This is hilarious, nice!
Very cool feel.
I am death! Badass game, I can see this really developing into more. Loved the overall feel.
This is a really cool but simple game. More experience than game, but man, the music and movement set a real nice tone.
Even though the graphics are basic the movement on the character is still nice.
WINNER!! Fun game!
Nice stylized take on the original!
This would be a great mobile game, your character art is great too!
Controls seemed tough, couldn't quite get what was going on.
Interesting concept, nice submit!
Nicely done, great use of theme.
Funny and weird concept. Art and music are awesome.
Nice first submission!
Interesting concept, I felt like the membrane tore too quickly. Nice submission!
The art is really nice.
Great art and vibe.
Cool concept, I think it would be worth working on some more. Maybe tightening up the controls. Nice submission!
Pretty cool character art. A little more dungeon would have been cool. You should totally build on this. Nice!
This game is so weird and awesome, great art!
This is a fun mechanic, this would probably do well on mobile.
I am really impressed by this. I love the cliff hanger at the end. Only suggestion is more obvious button elements, and maybe less obvious game objects. Really nice work!
Interesting concept, took a little to get the controls.
Yes! This is great, reminds me of 868-Hack in a positive way. You definitely made this your own. Would love some sounds!
RSI here I come!
This is dope, I love the feel. I kept wanting W to propel me, and use the A and D to change direction.
An infinite faller is a nice take on the genre, I would increase the difficulty.
Interesting play mechanic. Nice submission!
Well, I starved to death because I was having too much fun spear fishing.
I ended up being surprised with how much I liked the controls. Water animation and missles were great too!
I think you have a good concept on your hand. It's a bit too floaty and slow. I really like the damage indicators, and the player character art is cool, would love to see that applied to the crystals and enemies. Nice submission!
Cool take on a frogger style game. Loved the music.
I am into the concept, but the controls are too floaty for me. This is definitely worth refining though!
Wonderful art!
