Really cool idea, the post LD was fun, wish there were more ships to destroy or that you could sell/rearrange parts. The original was too slow but you fixed that.

Really cool idea, the post LD was fun, wish there were more ships to destroy or that you could sell/rearrange parts. The original was too slow but you fixed that.
Is there a score or anything? Can you explain this a bit more?
Aww. I wanted more levels! Cool idea and I like the graphic style.
Unfortunately my work computer is not good enough to play this :( will try again at home
Good start to the game. I'd like to see your main dude walk faster and maybe have a dodge roll? It's really hard to kill the robots without taking damage because their range is longer.
Good graphics, fun idea, like most LD games it could use a bit of polish.
My son and I loved this and played for a really long time!
really fun but it stopped working in the middle of a good game.
This totally encapsulates my feelings about my concept going into the game (the great sketch image you made and the world you have in your head) and what one is actually able to get accomplished in two days.
You know that you are evil, right? :) Love it.
Cool! Sorry about your village, a volcano was needed there...
Fun! Easy to get stuck though.
I got stuck in the wall and my little ball was not happy. Very cute game. I liked playing in the water.
Really fun. We played a lot of games. I would have liked to see a deeper strategy though :)
This would be awesome on a tablet or phone I think. The manual made it more fun for me :) I'm trying to think of a way to make it easier for mere mortals without the manual, but maybe that would ruin the fun. Smaller starting levels and you have to unlock harder items?
It took me a while to figure out that your TRAIN IS MOVING! (There's no reference to see that it's moving) Very cool once I figured it out. Those squares are jerks.
it is too slow when you grow up, but the game is fun
It's like looking at a shiny power point! I just approved everyone's request. Not sure if my bank is good or not.
Very cute art, very hard to control!
I liked figuring out what the seeds do. Really easy to get trapped though.
Wait, what am I supposed to be doing?
Great art. Wish your guy could move faster.
Boy those controls are awkward, but I blame the theme ^.^ Cute graphics. I would have liked if your guy could go faster.
I'm not entirely sure what happened but I won?
Cute llama. What does the rope do?
I like how you added the bonuses to make each level different.
I EAT EVERYTHING!
Super cute main character and song, but waaaay to hard.
Cool idea, I wish it were easier to make the ships explode and fly apart :) Also wish they went faster.
Cute gameboy style.
balllooooooons!
DO A BARREL ROLL FOX! Cute. You can do some sweet tricks.
I like the idea but there's too much waiting in the beginning. Maybe make the first few goals a bit quicker to help me get addicted?
Nifty graphics. I get that the leaves give you more resources but I couldn't figure out what else to do. What are the fruits for?
Consensus here is that it's super cool. How did you make the images? Actual pictures of a clay model?
Nice use of the two button theme
Looks great but the jumping controls are pretty awful. That and the enemies push you all the way to the ground. Check out Super Meat Boy for some ideas on how to make a well-controlled character.
I like the Shadow of the Colossus feel.
So much fun, I love games like this.
Fun to play :)
Once you figure out how to play it, this game becomes kind of repetitive.
good idea but it's kind of tedius
interesting concept
Cool game! My controls got really laggy for some reason after a while. I love the art direction.
Very creepy! 5/5 for mood for sure
I like the zoom idea, but zoomed in shows too little and zoomed out is too small :/ Graphics are nice. How big is your team? Credits? Tighten up the controls and this game will be great ^.^
The graphics are nice, I like the idea of the game inside the box. I would like to see more gameplay, though.
Your game is beautiful, brilliant, and includes a level editor!? Can I work with you guys next time?!
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons! I responded:
>> Wow, what a brilliant game, with such a well-defined and fun mood! I managed to get all of the crystals except that one in the middle-bottom of the screen... I think you have to step on little patches of snow or something, but I couldn't figure out at all which path I was supposed to take and ended up getting stuck :< If I didn't have so many other games I need to rate I'd honestly go and play your 1.01 version just to get to the end. Thank you for the game!
@Victory Garden -- don't feel bad, that one is really hard! It's part of the reason the game has extra crystals so you don't have to get them all ^.^ the 1.01 version has some extra hints as to the solution to that one, although I'm sure you would have figured it out if you weren't so good at rating games :D You are most welcome, I make games mostly to bring happiness.
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
I liked your came. Unfortunately I found myself looking more at the colors on the sides than at my fish. (Not sure if this was intended or not). I really liked how the fish followed the cursor. Full marks for Mood!
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons.
I really enjoyed your puzzle game. My son and I are competing to see how far we can get. I really like the well-paced puzzle introduction and difficulty curve.
I responded to your comment:
>> Interesting game! I didn't get the idea of the four seasons though :/
With
@Grindstorm the islands switch between spring, summer, fall, and winter. I guess that really only makes sense in temperate zones like the Midwest U.S.A. where we live though.... hmmm.
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons.
Clever concept! Please expand on this. With some polish and more puzzles and some easier levels this will be great. I played it all the way to the finish.
My son and I played this for a long time and really enjoyed it!
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
I shoudn't like your game, because yours is about a dog and mine is about a cat, but I really do like it! I love how the screen slowly zooms out. I'd love to see more variation to the map as it zooms out though. Great sounds.
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
Unfortunately your website is down while I write this comment so I can't play your game :( I'll try again later.
Hello, Brazil! My girlfriend is there right now studying as formigas. I hope to visit again soon!
Wow, this is an awesome concept! My son and I race. I happily won.
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
Great sound effects ^.^ This is really well put-together, especially for the amount of time you put in. It's like a great version of balloon hunter. Maybe an easy version with bigger collision circles? Also the bugs would tease me by flying off the screen! Love it.
Bloody brilliant. Gave me an excuse to show my kiddo what computers were like back in my day.
very satisfying. please increase the contrast between the backround and foreground though -- i suggest a darker and more plain background for the arena
Looks like fun but my tooltips keep disappearing which makes it hard. Can you try to fix that please? :D
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasouns!
This was more fun than I thought it would be considering the title :D The only thing I can think to improve is to make the phone ring faster.
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
Level 3 really spiked up the difficulty. Please good game developers, can we have a level 2.5 that has a slower moving space station? :D
Looks good but it's too dark, hard on my poor old eyes. I also vote yes to mouse for shooting.
Really great start to a really moody dungeon game
Interesting gameplay but the controls aren't very tight and I kept getting stuck on things. If you make the controls a bit better and make some easier beginning levels for newbs like me this could be a great game!
Thanks for rating my game, Four Seasons!
This is the first rhythm game I've seen in a LD, I liked it, although I did pretty well with just button mashing. I'm impressed you were able to add gamepad support.
Similar theme to my game, Four Seasons. Great minds think alike :) Reminds me a bit of Zelda: A Link to the Past with how dark world works.
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
Really good mood, just wish there was more gameplay. It's like SPACE DESERT BUS (DESERT BEE?)
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
Good start, it's pretty but it needs more gameplay. Wish I had your 3d animating skills :)
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
I got stuck at the ball police -- I think I killed them too quickly. :(
I like the simple controls and concept.
Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
Re: to be fair, you should expect some lava to attack you if you sleep next to a volcano... but I've taken your feedback and made a bit easier and less frustrating 1.01 version with some other bug fixes included.
I liked your game, it gave me a nice little RTS fix. It can be hard to navigate around the map though -- my own guys kept getting in the way or they seemed to get stuck on stuff. Maybe a population cap would help as well as force you to move your guys out to attack?
I really felt like I left more comments than that! Can you make one for the next LD? It's great incentive to rate more games :D
Cool idea but the rails being one-way (?) is really confusing! Most of the time my trains weren't moving. I spent most of the time fighting the interface when the game would be REALLY FUN if I could have the trains moving more predictably :)
Beautiful!
Good idea. I wish I could see the planets zone of influence and the small white text on the black and white background was really hard for me to read.
I like it but there's too much just waiting around. If you did add more people that would help :)
Beautiful! So smooth.
Interesting idea!
How much of the assets were created from scratch and how much was included in RPG maker? It's hard to rate without more info on what you created. Congrats on a good product though.
I'd like to implement this as a multiplayer game! Interested in working together? Also see my entry :D
bushmango@gmail.com
Really cute! Nice use of graphics. Controls could be a bit tighter.
Please expand on this idea :)
The stories it generates are really funny! The gameplay itself needs to be enhanced though. 5 for humor!
We enjoyed it, although it's a bit too much based on luck in the beginning!
I don't get it... but it did remind me of Monty Python
Interesting idea. Somewhat glitchy and hard to figure out the controls at first. Could be a pretty cool game if you kept working on it. Thanks for the walkthru :)
Interesting game, very innovative. I found it hard to see where I was and it was tedious to make it back to the surface though :(
phew! beat it with 4 health
really beautiful game. it would be better with autosaves when you get new items, and more save spots. as is i got frustrated when dying after getting something so i didn't finish :(
really good start! reminds me of simant... ahh memories
I like the name of the game.
my son really likes it
looks great and really interesting, but the second level was really hard to control :(
i died!
That is an amazing pixel pope. The game was interesting, I wish I was as high when I was making my game ;)
I only found one! Cute game.
for some reason the web version won't start for me, i tried clicking, hitting enter, mashing keys... im on windows in chrome
Cool idea, but there's a lot of just waiting :/
I don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing :(
Fun game! Crashes if you buy up all of the available worker unpacking slots with flowers, lol.
Yeay, I won against myself!
Reminds me a lot of spy hunter -- great start!
I only wish I had more things to pee on.
Good idea but didn't work well with 10 seconds... Would make a good puzzle game. I found the best strategy for me was to click randomly around the screen and get lucky... 1600 points!
Wow I really liked that, neato! And I beat casual on my last life left...
Fun but then it crashed when trying to load the ending image :( Good use of theme.
I like your humor, sir.
Fun game but the deaths seem kinda random and I didn't want to restart the whole thing. Better to save a checkpoint everytime you get back to the ship?
It would be great if there was a speed up time button...
Good once I finally got it running!
Please provide something I can run without installing python...
Didn't work in Chrome or IE under windows 8 -- all I got was two arrows, a timer, and a message saying I died. perhaps the graphics weren't loading? can you put it up on amazon s3 or something?
Thanks for the different difficulty levels. I loved how happy the main character was... nice job making clear and usable graphics that still looked great. Nice dungeon generation too!
Yeah a little parallex scrolling and better contrast between the fore and backgrounds would be great. Love the concept! Please make the jumps a little easier for us mere mortals :)
I wish there was a button to kill your guy before 10 seconds :)
This seems like it would be really fun if I could get it to work... could you upload a YouTube video or something explaining the basics to getting started?
Pretty!
Perfect use of color
I'm always impressed by multiplayer games in LD -- I could see how this would be fun with lots of friends/people, but that's always a challenge.
I love a happy Angus! I loved this game!
Every starter thing costs too much :( It was nifty but maybe you should have started with the right starting gear? I bought the wrong thing twice and had to restart. Also it took forever to get enough money to buy anything. But I like the concept and the random weapons :)
Great entry! I loved it!
Unfortunately it becomes a bit of "spreadsheet" management after a while. What if you started with only three elements for the first level, and added an element on level 2 and three... Also, if there was a way to graphically show the weaknesses/strengths of the monsters (a symbol for each color like Magic the Gathering and a number) that would speed up the game and remove a lot of tedium for me.
Is there any way to reset it? I'd like to play again to show someone else :)
I love that you included the editor. The game itself was WAAAY to hard for me.
Worked for me, but I kept getting stuck on walls :(
My favorite was riding the yellow platform down and then jumping off to my death.
I was doing really well until I turned red into a glider!
Who needs Don't Starve ;) -- I love games like this
I liked it but man is it annoying to have to start over from the beginning every time. Cute graphics :)
Sometimes the graphics tweak out and I can't connect outputs to inputs :( Took me a while to figure out what the goal was, but then it was fun :)
I couldn't get to one of my buckets because it was out of the movable range :(
Cool! Wish it was a bit more like Rampage where you just destroyed a building x% and it fell down from structural damage.
I had the same idea but you actually executed it :D
Appears malicious according to Chrome / Win 8 :( please try to fix this.
Appears malicious :( According to Chrome / Win 8
Pretty, quick to play, short, LOVE IT!
I like how when made my disease too deadly it died off :D Wish there was more to do...
Cooool! How do I get more little green people in my life :) Really pretty, I especially like how the line between the people gets thicker the more you click on. Not much to do besides click, however.
Unrunnable :( Windows 8
Not a bad start, please tighten up the controls! They are very sloppy! Can't wait to see your next entry.
Doesn't load on my computer :( (Windows 8)
Awesome idea! It could be soo much fun if you improve on it. 1) UI out of the way of the map 2) indication of how many minions are in a space 3) indication of the level of the hero 4) better indication of special areas. You could make normal areas darker and special areas lighter so they pop out
Pretty! Not really a lot to do though.
I really liked it!
Download link is broken again :( It keeps telling me Google Drive is not available.
Fun, lots of collision bugs and man are those cops homicidal! It's a complete game, yeay! And not ridiculously hard. I liked it! Lots of potential.
My son and I had a lot of fun playing this for a few minutes.
Wish it was a bit more rock paper scissors -- not sure what other actions you could do, but something to force people out of cover.
Good start to a game!
I want to play Dwarf Fortress now.
What was going on? Loved the style! Just needs some more iteration...
Cute game, but none of the dinos would have sex with me :(
Cute game, really short. I guess I thought I'd be evolving the kids so that they would help me escape. Some color would have helped tell objects apart.
good game, frustratingly hard to control at first but that gives room to evolve ... the pace is a little too slow. I would have liked it better if you leveled up faster.
I didn't get very far due to a lack of patience, but my son and I really liked it.
Cute idea, not really all that much fun though. Would have been great to have seen it as a javascript app or similar.
... all the money I made was from my allowance...
I really liked the first part where everything was made of text. You could make an awesome game entirely like that.
Good but don't use graphics from other peoples games in a LD... or even from other projects.
If you are going to make a game that's so beautiful and has such potential, please be kind enough (especially to us reviewers) and have an easy difficulty! i.e. a lot more checkpoints or being able to try over from the same room. Frustration (due to my non-Godlike-reflexes) caused me to abandon the game when I'd rather keep playing :( Other than that, very solid! Controls were good, graphics were awesome, the Metroid style gathering of items and free-form exploration of the castle were awesome! Similar to notch's game but a lot better as it was in 2d :)
I loved the look of the main character! However, the background made my eyes bleed. I get the reference to the virtual boy, but ouch. The platforming was good, but my poor eyes couldn't handle it. It was really really tough though, perhaps the first door should have been easy, the second medium, the third hard, and the fourth insane? For me all of the three doors I could get in were insane difficulty. Music wasn't bad, sound effects weren't bad. Controls could have been tightened up a bit. A good start, especially for 2 days work.
Oddly fun! The hint that the boulder would kill me made me laugh. Also it looked a bit like a giant cookie, but the game crashed when I tried to eat it. I'd have liked to have seen a score (distance traveled) as well as the difficulty getting progressively harder (perhaps the terrain gets more uneven as you go on? Starting out mostly flat?) Graphics weren't bad. If you made the main character a bit cuter or gave him some personality that would add a lot to the theme of the game. i.e. a fedora. Fun game! My son also enjoyed it.
Shiny! Very pretty! But for the love of all things good if you are going to make a game this hard at least give us a restart button that's easy to click, like 'R' or space. Also, my guy didn't want to run backwards. Perhaps making the jumps easier at first and then ramping up the difficulty would be nice, and a score (distance traveled) is always nice as well. Adding a story would be nice, re: Bastion.
Interesting concept. Took me a while to get a hang of it. I would really have liked to see the difficulty ramp up (I kept dying in 2 seconds when I was getting used to the controls.) It doesn't seem to get more difficult as it goes on. I think it could be improved with Guitar Hero like difficulty -- start with one color, then add another color every 10 seconds. Having 5 colors after a while would be intense, while still being easy enough right away to get the hang of it.
Repetitive. I wasn't quite sure what was going on or why. My son liked it however. More choices would have made it more fun -- I felt like I wasn't much in control.
Ahh, different colors (basic lighting) for all four walls would have made this a lot easier to navigate. From the screenshot I had no idea that this was a maze game. But hey, you got something out. Not sure if I could win or not. On the plus side, it didn't make me motion sick like notch's.
Yeah, next time start with boxes and work on the driving algorithm first. That said, I've tried driving algo's before and they took me a lot longer than 48 hours to get right, and that was for a tank, which is probably a lot easier. Good potential! I really wish you could run over the police (I'm a bad person) and damage the cars. Even just running over the police would have made it a lot more fun. Best of luck.
Wow, I can see the potential... Put 20 ships of different types all fighting each other on the screen at a time like an epic Star Wars battle... although I'll admit at first I thought it was a submarine. Definitely has a lot of potential -- I've played a turn based space combat game in 3d but I think 2d would be more fun. Surprisingly fun just to fly around for a minute, but I crave to blow something up.
I would've liked to have seen the ability to move up and down, high scores (even if just local) so I can compete, or even just showing the score when you die, a simple death animation (it took me a while to figure out what was killing me). On the plus side, it was really easy to figure out what the keys were. The UI was nice.
I like the clever use of stealth. Makes me want to watch Office Space again. I found myself 'dying' just to find out what people would say. Although I did get stuck when the crate guy backed me into the corner.
I wish I could have played through the whole thing but the old style wolfenstein graphics make me motion sick after a while :( I liked the progression through each weapon, but I didn't feel in control during the combat and it's annoying to have to restart if you die.

Interesting idea that I'd like to see expanded. With some easier levels for us simple folk :)

Haha I liked the game within the game mechanic. Well done but thought there would be more.
Full Steam by tompudding 2016-08-31T23:06:00
I enjoyed this very much! A map would be the only thing I could think of to help make decisions.

I like the game but I got Stuck on crowded.

It is a good game and I like the story.
War party by Rogue Sprite 2016-08-30T05:20:00
Fun! Not really challenging though and my knights kept getting in my way so I couldn't move. Still, so satisfying to watch them fight.
