Really fun. Feel-good shooting and excellent sounds. It got really hard, really quickly though. I'd be fine against 1 or 2 enemies. Then suddenly like 4-5 would swarm me and I'd lose all my health almost instantly. Maybe some audio cues to let me know that enemies are spawning from else where.
Otherwise, a really really good submission. Actually fun. Which is something a lot of GameJam entries miss.
Super, super confusing. The game play was really good, and the level design seemed good. But visually, it was hard to keep track of what was going on. To improve, I'd recommend changing the layout of the screen and perhaps improving the visuals so things look less cluttered.
Otherwise, cool game. Fun and challenging.
Well done on the entry. The art is pretty well done. However I though it got old fairly quickly. It could use another element to add some depth to it.
Otherwise, good work guys.
It's a shame you weren't able to make more levels. I really enjoyed what I played. Liked the art style and the idea of aligning the two worlds was very cool. Good job.
Man this art work is really great. The giant muscley character was funny, and the boat gameplay was really fun. There were some hilarious glitches involving the water though. Those waves went insane really quickly.
Thanks for this submission. I really had fun playing it.
The game's gorgeous and fun. There was a nice atmosphere to it. Well done.
However, there is a bug where you can fall off the map, on the first level. Once you take the stairs down to the island on the far right, you can walk straight off it.
I think its important to learn where to focus your efforts. The game wasn't particularly fun. Which is the key thing to any game entry. I'd reccommend spending much more time on actual gameplay. Well done on your second entry though.
Incredibly difficult, but I loved the theme and the art. The music was cool too. Really solid entry. Well done.
Not entirely sure on how it relates to connected worlds (maybe I didn't get far enough) but I had fun. I thought the art was cute, and boy do I love all the pink. With more than a couple days, I think you could expand the idea a lot.
Interesting idea. I imagine with a little more time, this could be a cool game.
If I was to give one piece of advice, it would be to speed this game up. The slow interaction and slow walk speed had a big impact on how the game felt. I imagine speeding it up would make it pretty fun.
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare. This was my first ever Ludum Dare too, and I understand how big it feels!
Interesting concept you had going. I'd like to see more. I think you've got an eye for minimalist style. Perhaps next time, really expand on that!
Really liked the music, btw.
Good work, man.
Fun concept. Killing those little guys was scarily satisfying. Interesting take on the theme.
Controls could use a little tuning. For example, have the player only switch sides when they are completely off the screen. It was a little confusing.
Otherwise, quite fun. Nice and colourful. I wasn't too sure as to how it was related to the theme, but still, fun game.
I was pretty confused as to how to play/win. The visuals were lovely. Really liked the style. And it seemed to fit the theme, even if it was a little confusing.
Seems like you put a lot of effort into level design. Visually, the game is great. Nice simple shapes and colours which I'm a big fan of.
I did however, encounter what seemed to be a problem in level design, where I was stuck and couldn't switch between worlds, no matter where I went.
Aside from that, really cool game.
A really fantastic submission. Although the art wasn't the most spectacular thing in the world, I still found it really charming. I thought your use of sound was incredibly effective, and I loved the little music loop. The game was very simple, but very fun. And I love your take on the theme 'Connected Worlds'.
Congrats on a great submission.
Very cute. And I really liked the contrast between the two worlds. It seems like you put a lot of thought into the level design, which is hard to do under the pressures of time.
I really enjoyed this one. Possible areas to improve? Sounds, man. It would really bring this game together. Otherwise, nice work.
I had a lot of fun, with this. Big humor points for when the people try to swim back to the island. It made me giggle. This game has a lot of charm.
Potential area for improvement? I think the music could be changed a little. Perhaps something a bit more up-beat and arcadey. But that is just one man's opinion.
Overall, I really liked it. You should be happy with this submission.

Smash the Game by hollowspecter 2014-12-10T18:52:00
It's a shame there's no AI to play with! The art work is adorable and I imagine it would be a lot of fun if I had someone to play against. Nice use of sound, too! Good work.
TheBlindMaze by Valon 2014-12-10T18:49:00
This was an incredibly interesting and ambitious idea and I don't think the execution did it justice. The sounds were incredibly confusing, and the lack of feedback made it incredibly hard to understand what you were doing right.
It is such a cool idea, and one that is quite hard to do-justice in 48 hours. I'd love it if you gave this idea the attention it deserves and kept working on it.
King of the Cave by AnaglyphCoding 2014-12-10T18:42:00
I thought the fact that you hit your head on the ceiling was quite annoying and the glitchyness of the bounding blocks frustrating when TNT was in my face.
Good use of sound and cute graphics though.
Super Dynamite Fighter by Zettelkasten 2014-12-10T18:31:00
Fairly unpolished. Some animations would have been nice, and the sounds were quite obnoxious. Otherwise, a fairly fun entry.
untitled_1 by shesaidgraves 2014-12-10T18:27:00
This is just pong. I'm sorry, but no effort went into this at all. You couldn't even be bothered to think of a name for it. That is so despicably lazy.
Roomnesia by Headmade 2014-12-10T18:25:00
Very atmospheric. The lack of music made it quite eery, and I really liked the way you used light.
Sweet Honey Bear by Larry 2014-12-09T16:30:00
Adorable visuals. But I feel like some of the levels were impossible because of the way the bees were organised. Either way, quite fun!
TURN it UP by pkenney 2014-12-09T14:44:00
I dont know what just happened but I had fun.
Waiting in the Sky by Ysty 2014-12-09T14:40:00
Unusual concept. But very atmospheric and lovely visuals.
Fadin by XTremEive 2014-12-09T14:35:00
Loved the sound, and the visuals were pretty too! Lots of fun.
Gingerman And The Christmas Tree by markusfisch 2014-12-09T14:28:00
Fun controls and cute visuals. Good work"
RobFishing by xTacobaco 2014-12-09T14:25:00
Cute graphics and the game was fun for a short while, but I found it a little slow.
Behind The Fog by fullmontis 2014-12-09T14:11:00
I really liked the art style. It would nice to have some animation in there somewhere though. The lighting mechanic was a bit crude but it served it's purpose. The light and the music made for a fairly atmospheric experience.
One life hero by komjaur 2014-12-09T14:08:00
Interesting take on the theme. I thought it was very cool how the next dungeon would be generated in the dark.
Cute graphics, nice sound, and funny prompts in the corner. Nice entry!
A Sketchy Game by Todnut 2014-12-08T17:44:00
Charming art work and gameplay. It's a shame about the lack of sound, but this is still a solid submission. Really great work, mate.
Nooo Bath Time!!! by Gabbmonkey 2014-12-08T17:39:00
There's poop EVERYWHERE.
Pixel Adventure by Rnd 2014-12-08T17:33:00
I don't know whether this was intentional but you can keep mashing the space bar to fly which makes the game exceptionally easy.
Defector by 02fc.exe 2014-12-08T17:24:00
I really liked the visuals. A fun little concept, but quite hard. A solid entry.
Press the buttons ! by jlouisB 2014-12-08T17:18:00
The fact that the game would become impossible fairly early on ruined it for me. And the fact that the default controls wasn't QWERTY is quite frustrating. I couldn't seem to swap, either.
Extreme Stick Fighter Ultimate 3i by Doccrazy 2014-12-08T17:10:00
The fighting was quite fun and each hit felt fairly satisfying. Nice work.
Bit Raiders (multiplayer) by Hexicube 2014-12-08T17:05:00
Would have loved to play against someone. But the game seemed like a fun concept, particularly jumping around, so I will just rate the fun criteria.
12 Hours by Wilson 2014-12-08T16:59:00
This was a lot of fun. The game was quite easy until a dog was introduced, which really made things more exciting. Good job.
Explosivo by Seihi 2014-12-08T16:54:00
A little buggy. Sometimes the menu would stay on the screen while I played. Quite a fun game, although the difficulty didn't seem to increase in any way.
BUSY DUNGEON by MrLeePerry 2014-12-08T13:50:00
Gorgeous visuals, great atmosphere, lots of fun. A really great submission. The way the frame is framed, with only the player, start and goal highlighted is very clever.
Well done!
Sneak assasin by carlmartus 2014-12-08T13:45:00
I thought the visuals were charming. I liked the game concept, but it was a little slow. Other than that, good job!
