Couldn't really figure out how to play it. A short introduction to the basic control mechanics would help! Idea is neat though.

I liked the part where they had sex.
Very cool puzzle game! Don't know how you made the music, but the sounds in there are very annoying after some time (the bass drum for example).
Couldn't play. It' just saying "Loading Music..." all the time. All i can do is Toggling FPS and Pausing with Esc.
OS X 10.7
cool idea, had fun! But really hard :-)
The OS/X download link seem to be actually the source (in Gamemaker format?). So couldn't play :-(
Love it how you seem to be a supervillain everybody is afraid of but in fact you're just a Nerd that wants to play some DnD ^.^
nyan nyan nyanyan … :-)
played it in the browser and it worked. nice wolfenstein 3D feeling but also quite hard.
it's bizarre as hell and that i like :-D
You should redo that in 2D with simpler graphics, 3D is too much to handle for this concept. You easily get kind of lost. But well done!
The game element is maybe a little bit lacking but I had fun nonetheless!
I like it! I would love to see a more strategy oriented version where you have more time to think. Also it's quite hard to play if you don't memorize the mutagens.
Didn't like it that much at the beginning but the ending was very good.
cute guy!
Neat puzzle idea but for my taste you move way too slow.
Was a little easy but worked for me :) (on Mac)
very cute! music that mathces the game well, very fun, awesome!
I think the parallax scrolling is a little weird, the background further in the back seems to move faster than the foreground.
cool intro, solid tower defense game!
Great 3D art, some animations where quite sloppy and I didn't really manage to finish the game but well done!
great stuff!
Awesome track, nice blend of low-bit sound and hifi. I think the game went well with it, i smashed my hammer in the rhythm :-)
The audio was quite funny, I also liked the goats on the meadow. Some Hover Overlay with the stats would have been great there!
Quite a brain teaser, well done!
Good to see another worm game :-D Beeing able to accelerate / deaccelerate would be great. I also find it quite confusing to have "more food" appears as an evolution stage. Keep it up!
I like the magic spells, even though I don't know how they work :-D
I wouldn't spawn enemies in the players sight, better a little bit outside of it and with a movement vector towards the player. It was also a little hard.
this was a lot of fun :-)
I think for your first game it's very good! Simple but powerful concept.
a very good take on the theme. Crashed once when I got hit in the Space Invaders level.
I think it's great
good looking 3D graphics
Ludum Dare is excellent for learning new stuff so keep it up and please submit next time too :-)
great pooping animation :-) Would have been cool if new needs/actions were introduced at each stage.
I think sometimes object spawn inside the circle which isn't good. I like the rotation of the background: trippy!
Fun and very clever!
Janitor is great ;-)
Surprisingly fun game but as others mentioned: Hard! DNA should stay longer.
I like the minimalistic graphics but the game had some glitches.
solid but very confusing!
I like this one a lot. Great take on "Evolution" and overall very solid!
well done. I almost cried at the end :-(
Sound doesn't play on Safari. Cool game, a little easy. My clicking finger hurts now ;)
I don't have windows but I'd be interessted to see it. Any chance for a gameplay video?
Very soothing atmosphere, cool take on Evolution.
Why was the cat always mean :-(
I ended up always breeding the last two turtles. Some kind of incest malus would have been great.
GOL for enemies? Awesome!
Cool idea with the colors, great job for your first entry. See you again in 25 :-)
Yeah, shold be played on a tablet. Funny story, also good idea with "Chromasome". I believe the leading scientist on Chromasomes is german ;) ?
Same error as munchor (On Mac 10.8)
I like multitasking games but it got very hard very fast. Very good!
cute with some minor glitches. good introductions to the power-ups. keep it up!
different graphic styles are phantastic, good work!
awesome visuals and good music, the game and the ending was a little bit lame.
I liked the graphics and the billiard aspect of the game. I didn't like grinding for distance.
Good idea with the surviving moths providing the genetic basis for the next round. The physics (especially of the moths) were a little weird though …
Great art and very good controls!
Controls are a little wonky but fun little game!
The jumping felt very stiff, but it had some good humor in it!
I think the global balance counter is great. Graphics look awesome! The song is neat but I think it's kind of cheesy to have a game song with lyrics.
couldn't play (no windows) but from the gameplay video it looks pretty solid.
Cool concept. I like how the music evolves.
pretty solid and fun! Also cool story. Maybe a little confusing, which makes it quite hard to beat.
Very solid, VERY good graphics.
Awesome!
Good decision to use "green squares" as your enemies :-D I think it would have been better not to start from the beginning when you die.
I like it, it would be a great game for kids!
I wasn't very good at the game :-D
I like that you have to think about your choice, if you want to stay small or get bigger. But I hardly could find enough to eat to get bigger in time.
It's quite difficult but I like the art style of the background very much!
@hansolo I wish I could help you but I don't have a Windows machine at hand and without an error message it's kind of impossible to find a solution :-( You could install Love2D and try the Linux/Love2D Version if this works.
I like music games. I'm a musician as well as a very good typer but I found it very hard to hit the right keys. I think the spacial layout on the screen messed with my brain and I always hit the wrong keys :-D
awesome retro-sci-fi music :-D The AI reminded me of the movie Moon.
cute graphics, good difficulty curve. Some animations on the monsters would be good.
epic good. Favourite so far.
great mood, great graphics. WAAAY to short :-D but well done!
Nice recorder playing :-D
Nice :). I like the cat and interface.
I enjoyed that! The controls were confusing an limiting but also challenging and fun!
This was brilliant, thanks!
The music was a little bit random but I liked the concept very much! There were some bugs (you can jump into a wall if you're under the wall) but good job for the first time :-)
I think it wasn't hard at all, but fun!
Would love to see that game but no Windows :-( A gameplay video would be awesome!
that was fun!
pretty cool idea!
super slick.
That was surprisingly fun!
I feel guilty for murdering all the poon :-). Good job!
nice variety for the bosses. the levels itself were to repetitive. But cool lil’ game!
the "got a pill" meow was great :-D fun game overall.
Cute graphics but I wanted to be able to jump all the time! (Maybe even through a special jet pack which you can pick up?)
very solid gameplay and (most importantly) fun! Could have been a bit harder though.
super nice ending, very solid game :)
nicely executed, very good idea.
This was quite good! I kind of hated it, that you couldn't retry the same level when you die. Also some kind of alarm when one stat was getting low would have been great!
Fun idea, but also quite hard :). I'm a little dissapointed that the cats don't seem to have a purpose :(. At least they made ME happy.
At least you submitted something :) Interesting usage of zero gravity blood ;).
thta was quite fun :D
ha, excellent!
Whaa, first comment? Can't play the final version (as you know ;)) but from the 7h-until-finished version I'd say it's great fun and would be awesome on a tablet :).
With a brighter, more colorful scheme it would also make a great kids game!
@DanteZack93: Offline-Play would miss the multiplayer/shared resource aspect completely.
This kept me playing longer then I expected.
slapping people in the face is so much fun <3
Fun little game! I think it would be more interesting, if the bow would fire by itself, if you keep it drawer for too long. The music was a little weird but I heard far worse :)
Beautiful. One of my favourites!
Nice shoes! Platforming wasn't very good and felt very floaty. It was also very hard to hit the tiny enemies. Sounds were delayed a lot in my Browser (Safari on OS X), so they didn't really contribute to the game. Green monster in the end was cool, I liked that style!
Awesome entry as usual, especially graphics and level design.
Solid execution, fun to play, not very innovative. I think it would have been better with more attempts, abandoning the theme altogether :)
Great puzzle game, solid presentation, good introduction of game mechanics. I hated the rocket sound effect, it destroyed the calm mood of the background track. Overall all: Well done!
Good job for your first game! Keep it up :) I would have swapped level 2 and 3, as level 3 was easier to solve. You also don't have to display the controls help after level 1, as everybody has understood all mechanics by then.
Next time try to add some sound as well, it will make your actions feel better.
Not a big fan of puzzle games, but this was very well done and feels very complete.
Very good music and I also liked the subversive gameplay.
Please change your Download Link to Download (Java) or sth., otherwise nobody knows in advance if it will run on their computer or not.
Hi, fun game. I think it should have been submitted as a Jam entry, if you used assets that you haven't created yourself in the 48h. I can feel the Super Hexagon vibe :)
LOVE IT.
It's not first person = bad game ;)
pretty standard platformed, but well done! Sone simple sounds would have been great.
Placing the obstacles randomly isn't a good choice, as the difficulty varies a lot and some levels are probably impossible (large, fast obstacle directly in front of the cannon). With proper level design it could have been a fun game!
This is a pretty ambitious project. Unfortunately I keep dying in the first level for no obvious reason :(
For my taste it's too repetitive and there is no emergent gameplay. Cute idea though and well executed for what it is.
Fun to play, good use of theme. Most of the time it's easier to get all mice following you than to place a proper shot that relies on rebounds. Game gets slower when the ball is shot, which is kind of odd.
Some visual or audio feedback when you get hit would have been nice. You can see the numbers go down but a screenshake, red flash or a sound would have made that more clear.
Unfortunately the lack of sound really destroys the whole feel of a game like this, I didn't really have a sensation of speed :/. Visually I liked it very much though!
Some pretty ambitious parts in this one. Shooting environment felt really good. Enemywise there could have been more variety.
Good idea for a puzzle game, unfortunately way to short! (Also the puzzles were too easy, and the one piece constraint made the levels too simplistic). Now that you got all the nice mechanics going you should go an do more and harder levels (without the constraint).
Personally I also thought that the water flow was way to slow.
Fun bullethell game with a twist. Lack of audio is a pity :(. Text intro was too fast imho.
Pretty innovative! Will come back l8r to see how things progress.
Cool main character, Controls were OK, game was fun. Some kind of hint where the exit will be would have been good though.
Fun little game :)
Challenging and beautifully executed game. I predict a good placement for this :)
Awesome entry for your first LD. Procedural generated levels are very ambitious but didn't feel very challenging. One guy of mine went out of sight once and never came back/no death screen. But overall very solid aesthetics and core idea is great!
Awesome graphics. Not very much game play though, but good writing.
The LOVE file should run on other OS than Windows, I ran it on OS X pretty well. It was very hard to jump over the "spears", I never really managed to do it.
I think it would be easier to play if your drill head would automatically point straight down after a movement to the left/right. So you have to press the S key, otherwise it's very hard to control. It would also have been great if there was a funny explanation why the child wants to eat all the oil.
Controls are sluggish, but I believe this is somewhat the point :)? Difficulty progression was quite good, I liked how falling blocks are introduced right in the beginning. Some audio would have been nice.
Played the Web version. Some kids were very greedy ;) The up/down rotation of the chef is a little silly but funny.
Wow, this is great and actually one of my favorites this LD, Awesome job! I'd pay for a game like this.
nice graphics style. Sounds were very harsh and didn't really match the graphical style. I also felt that the bird was a little too slow.
I liked the levels and the overall gameplay, as it was a little brain teaser to keep track of your actions. I don't think the music was a good match for the gameplay, I would have preferred something more calm, as it's not really an action game.
The music is not necessarily from a game, it's "Tick of the Clock" from the band Chromatics. It also was on the Drive OST though.
Very cute art style and a quite addicting game.
Awesome graphics, well done!
Nice graphics. I also liked the synths/arrangement of the christmas carol.
The near-death red mode was cool!
The text in the title screen at the top was ridiculously small. Better leave out altogether the next time :)
OS/X Link is a 404 not found!
Feels pretty weird to control, but in a good way. It's challenging to multitask!
Great to see games like that in LD. Also very ambitious to do your own voice overs. About that, some tips (despite getting a better microphone):
- Try to do softer fades and check if any distinct background noises can be heard at the start/end of the voice sample. I heard your "Stop" mouse click once.
- Most importantly: Add an ambiance track, e.g. some soft buzzing/noise from the room, or some ambient music. It will help to hide the noises in your voice recordings, especially if you do longer fade in/outs.
Awesome job for your first entry! I really liked the color changing mechanic. The controls were a little bit too sensitive for my taste. Also, the second level was not very engaging.
I think the "one checkpoint" mechanic is quite annoying in this one. I know that it's the theme but it's a pretty random decision to make, when you don't know how long the game will be. If you've done it once per level then it would be better, I think. You're tempted to restart the game, to progress your checkpoint further and further, but that's not really fun.
The game itself was fun though, controls were decent, art/sfx too.
Nice puzzle game, could have a better presentation though.
Nice game, but I thought it's a little bit difficult, as it's very tricky to steer the vehicle. But overall it's well done! Pity for the lack of sound :(
Fun game, better more engaging then I thought! Good, that you posted more explanations, they were needed!
Awesome entry, very polished. Good job!
Nice idea. I found it difficult to insert satellites into orbit, some kind of trajectory preview, or at least a tutorial, would have been nice. It also gets very confusing very quick and the physics act wonky sometimes.
Choosing which mechanics you want to get is very clever. Unfortunately the platforming felt very floaty. But awesome job for 48h!!!
The dudes are good friends.
LOVED the dudes, especially the guys with the blue and pink shirts. The policemen mini game is also just my taste ... which I don't seem to have!
Awesome and very thoughtful level design and a lot of content for a 48h comp. Also a great soundtrack.
Awesome graphics, nice writing. The bird sound is also cool :)
whaddefuckdidijustplay :D pretty crazy game
I enjoyed this very much! Good writing. The end is a little bit depressing but, well that's life :)
Ha, that was awesome! Innovative gameplay and wonderful take on the theme. My favorite game so far!
A pity, that the detection what's on camera can be wonky some times ...
LOL, Nr. 1 Humor so far. Overall also very good, awesome job!
Gareth, I agree! It probably would work even better with a touchscreen device!
@raarlac I agree! But it was out of scope for the 48h comp and it's hard to make it in a way you can't cheat.
@Thecoolestnerdguys V8 isn't the reason why it currently only works in Chrome, it's PointerLock. More specifically, that one of the external libraries I use only knows about the webkit prefixed version of PointerLock. As porting to other platforms is OK I might try to fix the library, then it should work great in Opera, and probably Firefox as well.
I actually filed a bug against Dart now. As soon as this gets fixed I'll see that I update the game.
@OriginalBigDan yeah, it's just an illusion, I was confused myself several times about that :)
This game was relevant to my interests.
*insert cat picture here*
Awesome Visuals :)
That was weird. If the controls were better I could say weird is good, but that way it was kind of akward. I did enjoy the questions though, but Answers were quite long.
Pretty cool, dense atmosphere and interesting mechanic.
