Awesome art and music. Very entertaining game ! Congratulations.
Excellent game. The levels are well designed, the art is beautiful, the music is very cool. Nicely done !
Awesome atmosphere & pixel art. The light effects are very cool, the colors too. The only problem is the very linear gameplay. Overall, good job !
Nice job ! The idea is cool, but the controls make it very challenging. It's not a problem until the fast little jerks begin to appear ^^ Overall, pretty fun, I like it !
Cool puzzle game ! I like your idea, it's fun to play. The only problem is that the sounds are repetitive. Good job !
Really nice game, I got stuck in front of my screen for (at least) half an hour. It's so addictive. The art is good, the music's cool but gets repetitive after 10 minutes... However, there is no strategy in this game, you just have to spam-click all the buttons. Money is never a problem, I don't even see how it is possible to loose ^^ It could have been more challenging.
Also I didn't wanted this popup to end the game when I won xD
Anyway, that was a lot of fun. Congratulations !
I like the colors a lot, and graphics in general. It's a good use of the theme, but it's really hard, because the bullet has exactly the same speed as the zombies. I gave up very quickly unfortunately.
Doesn't load the first time. WASD isn't cool for French players like me :( Looks cool though
This is fun, but I don't like how the configuration of the atoms resets when it fails :/
I like the art a lot ! The parallax effect with the blurred pines in the background is really nice, so are the colors. God job with the audio too. But it's a very short game, unless I missed something...
If you want to work with the fear of unknown, what about reducing the viewport using a radial gradient from transparent (near the player) to black (outside) and/or fast and surprising monsters instead of static ones ? Just some random ideas ^^
I made a mistake with my level design. You need to release "UP" when you're doing a double jump with SPACE.
You might have your answer in the post-LD version ;)
Very fun game design ideas !
Very nice. Creepy atmosphere, home-made noises, very challenging but a lot of fun. Congratulations !
It's a cool little game, but the game freezes when I restart the rame with [R]...
I like this game. The art is great, the dragon is well drawn and so are the trees... but you only use grey shades. It feels weird with the bright sky, however that makes a cool contrast between environment and the dragon flame/mouth. And I like how you use black for every foreground element : it really feels like the night when it's impossible to distinguish the player and the trees...
The physics are a little weird, it feels like you're hurting the ceiling every time you jump... The double jump is a cool feature, but not realistic : it's almost more powerful than the initial jump.
I wanted to finish the game but the framerate is bad, really bad, 15FPS all the time ! (I use Linux and don't have any problem with HTML5 games...), and it's really difficult to play... (I don't have a very powerful computer, maybe it's just me)
Overall, it really is a great game, with some little improvements it could be fantastic.
Congratulations !
It's not so bad for a game made in only 8 hours, but the girl is too slow.
This game is not bad, but if feels a little empty. You did a good job with the characters though, the animations are quite good. The difficulty is slowly increasing like it should. And it's HTML5 :D
Very interesting, peaceful game. I like the concept a lot. Enemies like worms eating the roots could have been cool !
Great game, very entertaining ! Audio and atmosphere are excellent. Nicely done !
This game is very funny and simple to play. Graphics are pretty nice, but it's only possible to play with 2 players and an AI would've been nice.
Good job !
The songs are hilarious as well as the game mechanics ! Awesome game :D
This game is hard ! But it's fun to play. I like it :D
Cool entry. I like the simple and effective mechanics.
Unfortunately, the game wouldn't load, I had to execute game.state.start('Game') manually
There was no JS error, and all assets were loaded, I don't know why this happened.
Apart from this issue, nice game, quite addictive !
Very good entry.
Music is excellent, art is really cool, the game is easy to play. Maybe it lacks some animations, and it's a bit repetitive.
Overall, I liked it, good job !
The pixel art, the animations, all the effects are awesome !
The music is really cool, too.
The game mechanics are quite simple (or I didn't understood them correctly), but it kept me entertained for a few minutes.
Nicely done, this game is really fun to play !
Cool game physics, funny character and sounds, pleasant game. I don't always understand why I lose health though. Good use of HTML5 !
This game is brilliant, nicely done !
Cool game, but terrain generation can create impossible levels :/ http://i.imgur.com/pWeaS2U.png
Thanks !
I'm sorry about the audio. I was either sounds or the boss of the game...
Thanks !
The boss is supposed to spawn monsters, but it's random :/
This game is beautiful. Huge efforts on pixel art, light and particle effects! This game is very easy to play, has dead-simple controls and realistic physics.
Audio won't play on my computer, but that's probably just me.
It looks like you did the level generation in a way that there is no enemies blocking completely the path. That's cool.
Good job :)
This game is very fun to play, you did a great job on it. The difficulty is increasing just as it should, the inertia of the submarine adds difficulty. The graphics/audio are pleasant. Kept me entertained for quite a long time :)
Nicely done !
Well done for 1h30 of work, very very impressive. The game mechanics are not bad, and the game is overall quite entertaining. Congrats!
Nice and calm. Great atmosphere. A little slow maybe
Nice game overall :)
The game is so simple, but I kept playing until the end of it because the game is designed not to be boring (for example, last tiles of the previous layer gets removed automatically). This is a nice use of the theme, and it's quite entertaining. And it's JavaScript :D
Good job.
The music, the thunder and the graves create a nice creepy atmosphere ! The graphics are not bad, overall really fun to play. Maybe a little too easy ;)
I can't play your game, I get "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'id' of null pixi.dev.js:5812".
Chromium (last version), Ubuntu 12.04
:/
This game is pretty addictive, I like the game mechanics and the idea of the monster in the sand. It's really hard though ! Checkpoints are good, but there are just not enough lives to get to the end of the level ^^
Anyway, that was a lot of fun
This is a cool game. But why would the same slice of pie respawn every time I bring one to the bakery ? Is it supposed to happen ? If so, I can run back and forth between the closest pie to the bakery, sell it, and repeat. But even with that, I always end up being poor. I am confused...
Problems apart, the graphics are nice. The gameplay is original and innovative.
Good job!
The gameplay based on the speed is a good idea that makes your game 1000x better than if it had been a simple flappy bird ripoff, however either the timing is very hard or sometimes an impossible sequence of obstacles will be generated (you can only slow down so quickly). But that is rare enough to keep your game very entertaining. The graphics are nice too.
Keep it up!
This game is truly excellent. Really. It is simple to handle (best I've seen so far), catchy, has cool music and is not overloaded with useless graphics.
However, the respect of the theme is a big no-no for me. The "bad orb" and "nice cubes" does not make the game fit the imposed theme, at all. Just my opinion though.
But overall, the near-perfect gameplay would make it a hit on the Play Store or the Apple Store I'm sure.
Gave me a good laugh! The music is awesome, too.
Thank you!
Nom-nom-nom!
What more to ask than a big (cute) monster, some innocents citizens and a big map? Kept me entertained for quite a while. The graphics are very well done.
Thank you very much @flokitall. My goal was to make an addictive game, but as you and others pointed out, players loose interest with the slow progress. Lesson learned, will not make the mistake in the future ;)
Out of curiosity, did you finish it?
Terrific. Beautiful graphics, simple yet fun mechanics, and the 'deepnight humor'© is there as always.
Very fun game, dynamic and stuff.
I'm a big fan of water and particle effects. Also, the monster's sprite is cool!
Very nice mechanics and physics! I want more levels (and especially that flower you can't access in the last level, YOU monster!) :p
ENSICAEN FTW!
Love it! Seeing the slime grow is so satisfying. The game is well implemented except for the fact that space and down arrow will sometimes scroll the page.
Well done!
Neat gameplay, simple controls.
I find this game immersive thanks to very good sounds & music. The graphics are not very consistent, going from pixel art to smoothed texts/textures, but this is a detail.
Good job !
Cool idea! Very entertaining and well-designed.
My only concern is that it's a little too easy.
Overall, great work.
Cool gameplay, fun mechanics and very well implemented, especially the physics. The art is consistent and pleasant. Nicely done!
Very nice story, the sounds and colors are sufficient to create an immersive ambience. I liked it a lot!
Very unique art. The music is enjoyable for that kind of game. I would have expected the game to have a constraint like a timer or a game over if I eat the wrong meat repeatedly. I would also have expected the monster, who is the main character, to be animated somehow (another frame while killing the animals, or particle effects...)
Overall, very entertaining, fun entry.
Fun little game. Pleasant graphics.
One thing though : Bernie needs to speed up a bit :p
Good job.
Cool little game! I like how unconcerned the villagers seem even though this is a massive slaughter and there are rockets launching everywhere :p
Good game, simple to play and kept me going to see what the upgrades do. It turns out the upgrades are TOO expensive in my opinion. You have to play for an insane amount of time to unlock everything. The graphics are kind of funny.
Kudos for using Phaser :)
Brutal for sure!
Very catchy, dynamic game with pretty graphics.
Thank you for this entry!
Interesting pixel-art style. Being the monster is not an easy job in that game though! :)
Fast and active game. I like how many sprites there are on the screen, how fast everything moves, and the music.
The graphics are overall good (especially the color palette) but not consistent (I notice a difference in style between the characters and the background). The controls are dead-simple and that's good. The timing adds a well-balanced challenge.
Keep it up!
Nice! The music and the graphics suits the game well and creates its very own ambience. The difficulty is exponential but fortunately there are a lot of medkits.
It was fun in the beginning but gets repetitive after a while. You should die eventually with mines in my opinion ^^ Otherwise I will just take a shower with them while the number of divers increases, so I can boost my score quicker.
Congratulations for graphics. The parallax, sun and lighting effects are very immersive.
Keep it up!
The gameplay idea is well found and implemented perfectly, the graphics suits the music well. REALLY hard but fair mechanics (although the snake could just disappear when it dies instead of becoming lethal)
Unfortunately I had to gave up at the level when you have to clear a way to the top, there are too many things to manage in parallel for me (size of the snake, which blocks to clear, how not to get killed after snake dies, ...) but as some said, it would do a great 2-player game.
Nicely done.
Impressive graphics, simple mechanics and great variety of weapons. The "restart when you die" policy keeps up the challenge.
Well done!
GG, this game made me hate squirrels
I like how fast and dynamic it is.
Powerups would make it more addictive as 100 squirrels objective is high
Also: would do a great mobile game :)
Cool creative game, the graphics look like mspaint but the color palette is consistent. Very catchy.
Very short (but entertaining) game but it took me >5mn to get it right and go to the exit.
I think the platforms lack a bit of contrast.
Great job.
Took me two takes on wave 1 to handle the mechanics but it is very doable. Maybe the level 1 should just be 1 enemy and allow only logs to demonstrate that it is also a weapon.
What really drove me crazy are the fireworks you can not aim to nearby enemies except in the 5 first seconds of the wave (when they are not too close of the wall). The candies idea gave me a good laugh ; it brilliant to work around the firework problem but unfortunately the "distraction time" is insufficient to reload.
Apart from the level design issues which are think are mostly easy fixes, great use of the theme ; very cool, well-implemented game mechanics, and pretty graphics. Well done!
Interesting game and good use of the theme.
Definitely 5 star on game mechanics!
Two minor issues: it's really hard to switch gears (pixel-perfect?) and there is a "next level" button on the death menu haha.
Overall great work!
Awesome game! Very nice touch of humor and sarcasm. The graphics are impressive: the character is super well animated and I like the doodle effects on the background. I think the graphics are very coherent with the game. The only problem I had while playing was my paperwork getting stuck behind a bureaucrat when I am carrying it. Overall, excellent work. Congratulations!
Great clicker. I liked the recursion (bot makes carbon, factory makes bot...) and the effort of the scenario. Is the carbon a metaphor of money in real life? One GUI flaw: I thought the red cross on the top right was to close the right panel and indeed I had a bad surprise. Anyway, nicely done!
Nicely done! This game looks very polished, the graphics are really well done. I feel like there is a lot of content to it, but jokes on me, I gave up in the labyrinth. Overall congratulations :)
Nice little game! The pixel art is simple but effective ; the concept is very catchy and fits the theme well. If I had one flaw to point out, it would be that the hold on the crates is a bit too elastic. Well done :)
Great idea but the collisions gave me a hard time. Sometimes when you get caught by the groupies you get completely stuck :/
Anyway, nice humoristic game, congratulations!
Very fun game, very intuitive. I liked your graphics and your mechanics with the bad guys. The mood of the game is very nice too. Great work, cheers!
**BEST GAME EVER!!!**
Excellent concept, graphics and controls!
The fly swatter to be used on the dragon killed me
Congratulations to you all :rocket:
One of my favorite LD games ever. Looks very professional. The art is unique in its genre and I like it a lot, it has an atmosphere to it. However I did not personally see how your game fits to the theme... But overall, you did a hell of a good job. Congrats!!
Really fun to play. Loved the idea of enemies being annoying even when they're dead. A little glitchy with heals and contact with enemies. Great job overall!
Funny agar-io-like game. It took me a while to understand the goal. Nice touch or humor though, and congrats for making a multiplayer game, this is technically very impressive!
Congratulations on your entry, but I did not have very much fun. It felt like it lacks a goal.
Very funny. However I spot two little flaws: you can prevent any spawning by spam-clicking in the middle of the game. Moreover it would have been funnier (and more messy) if the nyans were spawning faster and faster!
Anyway good job!
Well done! The difficulty is progressive, the gameplay is rich and the controls are simple. Maybe the jump sound is a bit loud. It fits the theme in a simple but elegant way. Overall I enjoyed your game :)
Fun 3D game. You should have mention the controls on the game description though. Also in the castle all the textures are the same color so it is easy to get lost.
Overall good work, congratz :)
Great game! i love the idea, the graphics and the game mechanics are well thought. On the downsides I would say that I don't understand how to complete the quests with regular bunnies and it is maybe a little too long (i.e. the bunnies should maybe reproduce faster) Overall excellent job, fun to play!!
Fun game to play, with a special mention for the beautiful low poly graphics. I is also very pleasant to find games like yours that are easy to play, with no complicated rules and a straightforward but effective interpretation of the theme. On the critical side I would say that it is a bit repetitive ; and the green cloud does not fit in the rest of the graphics. Overall, congratulations on your entry. It would make a great mobile game imho!
Nice entry! Unfortunately a bit laggy for me (HTML5, chromium, linux w/ nvidia graphics) — I think using Unity to do this kind of 2D game is a bit like killing a fly with dynamite ^^ The interpretation of the theme is straightforward but I prefer this to over-complicated games. I had fun playing it, and the game offers a lot of content. Congratulations for your entry!
Well done, I like the style of the graphics a lot. The concept is well found and the humor is enjoyable. GG
Fun game and great interpretation of the theme :)
