Love the mood. The graphics and audio come together very nicely to give the carnival feel.
If you stand in the right spot in the resupply tent and spam space bar, it looks like your character is doing unseemly things.
Nothing happens when I try to run the executable on my Windows 8.1 machine
Awesome game! Nice retro graphics and audio. Music is charming. Very full featured for a 48 hour game.
I feel like the stamina mechanic slows down the game and holds it back from its true potential.
Nice graphics, good fun, nice and challenging.
Would be nice to have some sort of checkpoints. I don't want to replay the whole thing to get back to where I was!
Very smooth and fun gameplay. Would like to see earlier enemies' shots go slower, as it takes a bit to get the hang of moving into position, aiming and firing before getting shot. This could definitely be expanded into a really fun game.
Well done!
Really nice puzzles! Took me a while to make it through! Some of the levels were pretty easy, while others had me thinking they weren't even possible!
Really neat. Reminds me a lot of Battletoads. Would be nice if you could move up/down while swinging, which could add some opportunities to dodge through obstacles mid-swing. Could be quite challenging!
Weird colour pattern on screen confused me until I realized I was tripping on mushrooms :)
Graphics are simple but aesthetically pleasing. Game is a lot of fun. Great audio.
I love the non-linear approach that is introduced by requiring items from one area in order to get to places in another area.
The point system is a bit broken, since you can go through a door to respawn all stalactites. I think respawns should only happen at set times, eg. when you pick up an item.
Good start, but there needs to be a bit more challenge, and something to prevent the player from just spamming clicks all over the screen. I beat it in about 15 seconds by just clicking frantically.
Looks really nice and I love the melding of the two game mechanics. Really fun and challenging!
Funny stuff. Graphcis are passable, audio can be a bit annoying, and the controls are fun. Not too sure about adherence to the theme though.
Just for those of you trying this out - I am pretty much hanging out waiting for opponents for a large chunk of the day while I test out other games!
Thanks for the feedback Liens, I will look into it.
Care to elaborate on it being buggy? Some specifics would be helpful.
Well victory conditions seems to be broken. Just finished a game with someone but it didn't end :(
Great art style. Puzzle mechanics are simple, yet fun and effective. Good take on the theme, but would have liked to see the theme a bit more fleshed out in the mechanics.
Very cool idea. I kinda wish there was a slower transition into the action to give a chance to get your bearings. It would also be nice if the four subs spawned in order. By the time I figured out which sub was which, I usually only had 2 left!
Missiles from the subs could also be a bit faster. As it is, they are too slow to aim for anything. I ended up just shooting randomly and hoping for a hit.
Really unique gameplay. Struggled for a but eventually started swinging my sword around.
Nice, innovative gameplay. Very challenging!
Graphics are exactly what they need to be, and the song is nice and soothing.
Would have liked more freedom of movement - annoying to have to repeatedly press the controls rather than being able to hold them down. The turn radius also didn't seem to be quite consistent (eg. 4 button presses left turns me around 180, 4 button presses right gets me further than 180). This made movement a bit unpredictable.
Overall, highly rated. Well done.
Like others said, hard to control at first - once you get turned the wrong way it's really hard to right yourself. Gets easier with a little practice.
Really like the visual style, you got the underwater look down pretty well.
Calming music. Sounds great!
Managed to get 1 treasure. You must have hidden the others pretty well.
Really cool idea. I wish there were more people to play against, since it's hard to get a feel for the game when playing alone. I like how everyone plays in the same room. Is there a player limit? I wonder what would happen if a lot of players joined at once.
Same error as GlowingSnail with windows 8.1
A classic game. Always gonna be fun.
Flappy bird becomes floaty sub.
Very interesting concept.
Smooth controls, and I liked the ability to double jump. I didn't realize I could do that at first, but it makes the game a lot more playable.
Bullets barely do any damage, and while it's fine at first, once enemies start piling up, they seem entirely ineffective since enemies respawn much faster than they can be killed. After the first couple enemies have spawned, bombs become the only relevant game mechanic.
Nice first entry!
Nice effort. The game feels smooth and the audio works. Gameplay definitely needs some tweaking. I made it through every level by holding down space and alternating between the left and right keys. Could have beat it without looking :)
Really nice visuals. The tile flip mechanic is great, and a good take on the theme. It does get a bit glitchy when flipping, and a couple times I ended up stuck in Neverland.
