Awesome Game! I felt like the group therapy was rather expensive for not accomplishing much. Also, as others mentioned, nothing bad happens if you run out of food.
I thought the music was really nice, and the game was pretty good. I found moving between the mouse and keyboard a little jarring. If you could just move with the WADS, and replace mouse clicks with space press or something, I think the game would flow better. But still, a good entry!
Gorgeous! The audio is great too. I agree it was difficult to tell the hit zone of the swinging balls, and I think it would look even better with some parallax on the background. Overall a very nice entry. Can I ask what shader you used on the platforms?
Good concept! Good implementation! a good game! I agree with other some of the other comments though: the procedural generation could be unforgiving and the controls felt slightly unresponsive. Polish it up, maybe add in a rumble sound when the platforms are about to fall, and you'll be in business!
A very enjoyable game! A similar concept to my game, but completely different implementations. I ended up wall jumping out of the level at one point though...
At first, I thought the controls were too twitchy. I was about to close the game, but then the potatoes came out. I wasn't going to let some spuds make a chump out of me, so I busted out my game pad and redoubled my efforts. That's when I realized the controls were BRILLIANT! Extremely quick and precise.
I ended up doing the "IMPOSSIABLE" and beating the game. I enjoyed it thoroughly, very nicely done sir!
A very fun little game and a good take on minimalism! I tried cheating by cranking my resolution way down and using the windows magnifier. Didn't help, I still couldn't get past 12. It's probably my monitor ;)
Definitely takes me back to the Descent days. The lighting in the game looks quite nice! I noticed there was occasionally some clipping near the walls, but nothing major. Great work!
A very interesting idea! The graphics are gorgeous, elegant, and minimal. I thought the game was quite difficult. It would be nice to have an idea of the initial trajectory of the lin. On level 4, I noticed you can move purple dots between purple patches (maybe intentional?). Overall an excellent entry
Very nice job! Like others have said, the music syncing with the gameplay was perfect. I thought it was too easy. I would have liked "sharper" controls, and maybe a less bouncy ball, but overall, very well done.
A solid game, but rather challenging! I wasn't crazy about the hit boxes for my ship or the aliens. They felt a little too large, but maybe that's just me.
Very much liked the idea! But you are right, could use some polish. Toys tend to go flying if you accidentally bump them with a item in your graviton beam. Getting the rotations I desired was quite difficult.
Very nicely done! One of the most chill games I've played. It would have been nice to have a rough idea what the pieces did before playing the level. Also, my 's' button quit working in the game after a restart.
Very nice! I pumped that bird full of truth before I saw the conveniently placed giant bird masher. I didn't really understand how the theme fit in, and would really have liked a larger crosshair.
I liked it, lots of good ideas. One of the minimalists turned purple. I'm not really sure why that happened... Oh, and the music was simultaneously minimal AND BUMPING! I kept the fps set to 20 and didn't have any screen flicker problems.
WHAT!?!? All that only to find out 'there is no potato.' After a couple of plays, I fired up JoyToKey. I enjoyed the game much more with a game pad. Also, if you stand on the inner edge of one of the lower platforms and fire up, you're pretty much invincible until "a little something happens." But, overall, an EXCELLENT entry!
Nice job! This really took me back to the DigiPet days! If I 'accidentally' mistreated it, the background would flash red. It looked like maybe there was supposed to be some text, but it flashed by so quickly I couldn't read it.
Nice game! There needs to be some sort of variation among the prices (but I know there's only so much time to work with). I really like the planet names, are they randomly generated?
Neat idea and nicely presented. Sometimes I felt like the letters spawned right on top of me, and the hit boxes seemed a little too large. Some of the words didn't seem to get accepted (like tibia, TOTALLY a word).
Nice 3d work for such a short period. Took me a while to figure out I had to reload my gun before I could use it. But why are those cubes so angry at me???
Neat idea, and a whole slew of games in one! The transitions between games can be rather abrupt. I'd often watch in despair as the game changed suddenly and the ball for the new game went sailing off into the void.
Fun game! Equipped with shotguns and potato sacks, my party made an alluring target for the local rat populace... It would have been nice to get some detailed battle reports each round (i.e. rat gnaws member 2 in half for 15 pts of damage)
Really Enjoyed the acoustics! At first the beat was very quiet relative to the in game sound effects, but the kick block the player picks up around level 5 fixed that problem
Very nice entry! The physics felt a little inconsistent at times, but that's more Unity's doing, I think. I got my best score (75) by just holding the A button...
Very nice game! The character looks really good. Sometimes, with all of the rotating, I had trouble keeping track of which buttons went to which block. Maybe if they were color coordinated or something?
A really interesting idea and a pretty sweet game! Had a slight problem when I dragged one of the red boxes off the screen and couldn't get it back, and the game crashed on one of the later levels (windows 7 x64). But really, a superb offering!
The graphics were really sharp and the music was bumping. It would have been nice to have a vertical rotation, or some way to know the target location besides trial and error. Nice Job!

Funky Lincoln Saves the Day by TheCze 2013-05-02T02:13:00
I liked it. That's the funkiest Mr. Lincoln has ever been! Maybe typing other words, instead typing the action name every time would mix it up?
Aduno by Justin Mullin 2013-05-02T01:51:00
Extremely good! I don't think I'd change a thing.
Echidna by Aerlynn 2013-05-02T01:15:00
Very nice atmosphere! I don't know you're intended project, but the movement was a little slow for just exploring.
If the sphere's palpitated with the beat, that'd be pretty sweet!
We Need Potato by pl0xz0rz 2013-05-01T22:39:00
The game looks pretty slick, but I agree with the other comments. The controls make the game unnecessarily difficult.
Way Out by Dabuuker 2013-05-01T13:47:00

Tado Toss by PixelOaks 2013-05-01T12:38:00
Amazingly refined multiplayer product for a jam entry. The only complaint I had was the player didn't capture my mouse.
Fortuitous by Follett 2013-05-01T12:21:00

Choose Defense (TD) by fogelvisch 2013-05-01T11:29:00
Pretty funny game. The interface at the bottom was a little difficult to understand (only the top two options are active).
Labyrinth Run by goleegrees 2013-05-01T11:04:00
Nice job! Add in some more content and you'll have a real winner!

Execute by ShinkiroCode 2013-05-01T00:10:00
I like the idea! It needs some polish (sounds, music, why a level was failed, so on). But a good entry, keep up the good work!
Bezier Challenge by Travis Irby 2013-05-01T00:04:00

Puck Gunners by eedok 2013-04-30T13:54:00
Nice take on a classic! Defense seemed to be the best 1 player strategy. Sooner or later the AI would smash itself with the puck.
Terminally ill by Sebastian 2013-04-30T13:48:00
Very nice game! Games switching between keyboard and mouse can be a little jarring...
Mini Pirates! by josefnpat 2013-04-30T13:31:00
Nicely done! Can't think of anything to add other than the obvious: expand and polish.
8 jumps and a fat man by Exclamation Mark 2013-04-30T13:04:00
Awesome! I felt like I was playing space legos. But I ended up making a ship that shot itself. D'oh!

Hilarious! Further confirms I have no understanding of minimalist art.

Agoraphobia by PiotGuy 2013-04-30T08:55:00
Neat concept. But I didn't understand how the gray boxes multiplied
Rapid Tunnel Future by syre 2013-04-30T08:45:00
Surprisingly addictive, and you were spot on with the theme! The graphics were a little jerky sometimes.
Mini danmaku by CogComp 2013-04-29T20:40:00
This game is pretty sweet! Although, after watching the walkthrough, I can see that my attempts to win with the keyboard were futile.

RogueOut by badlydrawnrod 2013-04-29T19:58:00
Pretty good game, good for a laugh! Those last few minions were awfully difficult to hit.
minsweeper by Attrition 2013-04-29T19:55:00
Fun game, good game concept, right on with the theme. But the best strategy seemed to be luck...
WORDHUNTER by gerritg 2013-04-29T19:28:00

energized by mibbio 2013-04-29T18:36:00
Fun little game, and nice work with the sounds. I do love eating power packs! But a power gauge would sure be nice.
PEW PEW Orbit Defender by OniiRam 2013-04-29T18:29:00
Nice game! The audio didn't seem to be working in firefox (windows 7). But don't worry, we inserted our own "pew pew!"
ASDASH by VikingJonathan 2013-04-29T18:21:00
Nice 3d work for such a short period. Took me a while to figure out I had to reload my gun before I could use it. But why are those cubes so angry at me???

Simple, elegant, challenging. A very fun game!
Lightrail by Geoege 2013-04-29T17:36:00
A very interesting game idea and well executed! I wish the laser moved just a little bit slower though.
I Dream of a Beam by ocmu 2013-04-29T16:45:00
Neat game idea! The audio was especially well done. But sometimes it seemed like the baddie cubes would spawn right on top of me...

Perfect Crime by cmayhem 2013-04-29T11:59:00
Fun Game! The mouse sensitivity was a little low for my tastes, but that's just my preference
Different Gameplays by Toki Anholmes 2013-04-29T11:39:00
You definitely boiled the gameplay down to the bare minimum! Very nice work art work with grey scale images.

I tried to get the file from Dropbox, and it told me:
"Nothing Here"
Brave Warrior by My Milked Eek 2013-04-29T11:16:00
Cool Game! Felt kind of like a medieval version of SkiFree.
BLOB by Kvisle 2013-04-29T11:10:00
Very Nice! I thought I beat level 9, but I guess one little blob can't exit the level by himself?
Minimum Reason Game: Hail To The Potato King by nodoxi 2013-04-29T10:56:00
I like how, if you change focus from the game, it automatically pauses. I'd hate for my hard earned rank to dissipate while I was checking my e-mail!
Fractured by dalbinblue 2013-04-29T10:43:00
Very nice game! The character looks really good. Sometimes, with all of the rotating, I had trouble keeping track of which buttons went to which block. Maybe if they were color coordinated or something?

Nice music and good lighting effects. But the game play was rather frustrating.
Spheres by fueelin 2013-04-29T04:50:00
A really interesting idea and a pretty sweet game! Had a slight problem when I dragged one of the red boxes off the screen and couldn't get it back, and the game crashed on one of the later levels (windows 7 x64). But really, a superb offering!
essentia by andrewkennedy 2013-04-29T04:32:00
The visuals were fantastic. I flew all the way to the top, but couldn't go any further. Hope I didn't miss anything...
Red by artifex 2013-04-29T04:23:00
The graphics were really sharp and the music was bumping. It would have been nice to have a vertical rotation, or some way to know the target location besides trial and error. Nice Job!

Minimum by jlm 2013-04-29T03:43:00
A little hard to figure out what was going on, could use a good introduction.
Minimal Complexity by hydancer 2013-04-29T03:26:00
I liked the idea. Wasn't sure how to move and attack (WADS and J). Didn't really understand how the weapon modifiers affected the enemies, or my score, or the game really. It also would have been nice to have a distinguishing feature (color?) for the player cube
Minimalize by CogentInvalid 2013-04-29T02:41:00
Nice Game! But I wish I knew how many... Rebiggies? Were in a blue block before I picked it up!
Minimal Force by jedilemons 2013-04-29T02:27:00
Hey, I had some trouble running the game on Windows 7. I had to put "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\" inside of the batch file, in case someone else has the same problem.
I liked the music, but I got completely overwhelmed by those darn ROIDS!
COLORFORM by torcado 2013-04-29T00:56:00
Fun game, but challenging until I got the hang of it. And I dig the soundtrack!
