Love how detailed this is, I really appreciate games where you can see each individual character.
This is the type of game I'd love to make one day

Adore this :) Really really fun idea and I love that I could see an entire MMO on one screen.
Would've been nice to have some indication of the block shapes before placement, but apart from that, I love it and I hope it gets further updates
Was initially confused by the controls, but I see it was probably just a typo on the title screen ;)
Have to agree with the previous comment, I'm not a fan of the accelerating turning speed, but each to their own!
Absolutely love the music :) Reminds me of a cross between Bonobo, Quantic and TM Juke, which is no bad thing
Adore the music :) very smooth and fun engine as well, nice one!
My initial thought was a very unfair "oh, match three", which I took back very quickly. A very interesting take on the idea, so consider me apologetic and impressed
Hahaha! Love where there one goes :)
For those wondering, I found the easiest way to get the game running was to open WinVice and then drag and drop the .prg onto it!
Very impressed to see a c64 entry :)
Really lovely game! Absolutely adore the colours and graphics.
One slight issue though, I would suggest that some of the collision detection is a tad unfair. (see my crude example below!)

I'm a sucker for bright colourful games but unfortunately I can't get this to run. I just get a grey screen. :(
Windows 7 64bit, latest version of java (just updated now)
Hey, intrigued but unfortunately I can't get it to run on my Nexus 5 with Android 5.0
Logo fades in and out, but when I press start, it quits.
Great concept, absolutely love the particle effects.
One thing, the guide stated "around 10 bullets" but I had to pump it full of closer to 80?
When I first realised the Spyglass was the actual view from the boat I was awe struck :) Nice one! Not found the chest, but very much appreciate the concept.
Amazing :D
Never managed to win the race but I love the DDR round :D
I'd love to see a full size map of this game, the level seems huge! I find the different scroll styles intriguing, specifically when you first find the bike, it seems a bit laggy and smoother.
Kept managing to get stuck above the red line :S That said though, it was a fun game that kept my interest for longer than expected
Interesting mechanic that just went to show me how unnatural it felt. That is, I'd plan what I would do and then all of a sudden I couldn't do any or it so had to plan from scratch again, nice one!
Hahaha absolute genius :) Especially liked Tetris :D
"Yogo is a lumberjack bear and recently gained magical powers!" Hahaha :D
Level 2 is amazing, you played me, you played me good!
Like moomoo, I get instant failure some times too! Almost as if the game is still running while I am on alternative menues
Great all round effort, which introduces lots of different elements :) I love the lil animation when you fail, poor robot :(
Haha, interesting concept, nice one :) I was able to feel in control when I wasn't being shot at, but the second fire was returned I began to struggle
Extremely good looking, fast paced and with good sound but... very little in game feedback and the aiming seemed a bit screwed up to me, I get the whole multiple guns thing but it felt awkward when I couldn't just aim forward with at least one gun.
Nice smooth gameplay, and good controls. Gotta say though, I gave up before 1,000,000 because it got a tad repetitive.
Haha nice one :D The prices could do with highlighting before you attempt to buy things, but either way it was intriguing all the same!
Brilliant and unique effort :D I know time is always an issue, but it would've been great it it were a bit longer. Also I loved the crawling animation
Haha! To start with I was thinking "eugh, this is too easy, you can just spam (spam spam spam) the portal and stop the rabbits getting any where but then I had to RUN AWAY.
Fun little game :D
Awww man, genuinely gutted when it finished :( Great concept well realised too :D
Like the concept and especially the enemy ship movements but I am clearly missing something because I couldn't tell when I should be using my one missile.
I've put this on my todo list, I'm going to have to come back to it when I'm more awake!
Was going to say some times it's impossible but then I went and... you know... read the controls, where I learned you can cut down trees :D
Love the fact it's procedurally generated and while it was simple, it held my interest!
Lovely stuff! Reminded me of Zelda LTTP :) Oh and I really enjoyed the timelapse and found a new tool (Font Struct) in the process!
Hahaha "If your mouse is being a slag!" :D
Really innovative idea, it's well EastEnders.
Love the graphics and movement in the game :) Innovative game mechanic too. However... changing colour was too slow rendering it almost useless as a power up. I found myself sticking with one colour and dodging everything else.
Getting absolutely no feedback from the game when I try to run it.
Windows 7 64bit.
Christ, I would not last long as a lunch lady. Too often I was SURE I had served a student so slapped them only to find out they were innocent. Oops.
Innovative idea :) Nice one
Great idea :) When I saw the title shopping madness, I instantly hoped it would be the kind of game you made and it was!
Haha, on my first play through I (naturally) didn't read the instructions properly so was attempting to make the enemy hit the mines. Turns out this tactic made him last longer than when I tried to help him avoid them :S
Regardless, love the animation, movement and feel to this one.
I notice an early piece of text is "sometimes death is useful", was that inspired by the theme that was in the votes? :)
Very fun game, I like how failing presents you with little perks.
Music reminds me of Ken's labyrinth for some reason :D
I like the platform engine, it's smooth and responsive (as are the animations). Love the wall jump/flip mechanic! However I did find the background colour was a bit too similar to the foreground and it felt slightly uncomfortable on the eye.
Is the level order random?
Took me a while to give up my 1 swag at the start :( Swag don't come cheap unless you got kid.
"Something something power plant, something something bad guys" hahaha :D
Unbelievable level of polish, it's crazy what some people are capable of.
I'll admit, I'm here because of your front page post regarding first impressions videos. I'd love to see you do one for my game You Only Get Won http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=15929
I really enjoyed this. Especially the music, it really nicely sets the tone of a peaceful area after snow fall.
I think the lack of audible or visual feedback when chopping down trees might put people off trying for longer, I think I found this more confusing because some trees just seemed to fall instantly.
Either way, I hope more updates are made for this, I enjoyed it :) Though I was playing on my own, I do like the idea of playing it coop!
I think Danman9914 sums up my feelings quite nicely! That said I enjoyed it, and I know my 6 year old will too when I show her tomorrow
This reminds me of the Peter Molyneux curiosity game, except for the fact i enjoyed your one :D Simple but bright and colourful, so I'm happy.
I actually LOL'd at the end :D What a crazy game.
Haha, unique bullet concept! I felt cheated by an unknown death, but soon realised it's because I shot myself :B Fun game :D
Anyone else having issues with the download link for Windows? isn't working for me :o
Great idea, well executed :) I got myself a system going where I'd change one part of my costume and then head back to the house and repeat. Satisfying progressing :D
Agreed with previous comments this would be great as a little mobile release, I could see my daughter playing it for hours :D
I love stuff like this :) Really like the whole feel to it as well, the art style, sound and animations really work well together.
Maybe I need to give it a lot more time, but it feels a bit slow (and the mouse seems laggy to me, but that might be my PC)
Really good animation and I appreciate the seemingly randomly generated levels :) It needs a bit of balancing attack/jump wise, but great effort all the same
Couldn't really run it through Flash, but I'm intrigued so have added it to my TODO list when I'm at home so I can install it
Great all round feeling to this one :) Really smooth game play and engine and it's a game about a robot who doesn't want to ruin his only pair of socks, so you can't go wrong there.
Made it to 77300 :)
Innovative take on the theme and surprisingly compelling. If the game have a bit more feedback (sound and animations) it would've been even better. However, I would say it was too easy, at no point did I feel rushed or threatened by failure!
Really very fun :) I hope the development continues. I especially like the fluid and cartoony animations. (Especially the duck!)
The only criticism I would have is, once a zombie gets too close to you it's very hard to kill them with your fork.
Great all round effort with this. Good intepretation of the theme and really well executed. Reminds me of LOGO.
Great effort, unbelievable to think it was made in 72 hours! Well done!! :o
Crumbs, intensely hard game! Reminds me a bit of Flail.
Really intrigued by this but as stated the control mechanic is very tough to work with. HOWEVER, once you manage to get a decent amount of guys across the level to the enemies I really, really like the way they battle each other.
I can imagine with slightly updated controls this would be great, especially with multi touch on a tablet or something.
Echoing everyone else I think, graphics and sound seem amazing, but I really struggled to actually play the thing because of the controls. I will come back to see if it gets updated :)
Something surprisingly satisfying about this. Unless I am missing something it seems that if you want to stand any chance, you use the Axe. Not beat it yet, have managed to get within 3 seconds :D
Fantastic interpretation of the theme :D
Holy **** that's a tense game! Great use of light, I got stuck down a dead end, knew a bad guy was behind me and didn't dare turn around.
For lack of a better explaination, this one is the most game like entry I've played so far, so well done :D
Again, can't put it into words, but it just feels right, kind of like a DOS shareware game or something
I couldn't finish it in the end. The fps was low and steady but the real problem was that every time I help the jump key it'd lock the screen. This made precision jumps kind of impossible!
Shame though, I really liked the concept
I think this could be expanded quite nicely into a larger game. I did feel I was just waiting around for a while though each time I played. If it had some sort of fast forward system, that's be great :)
Best I've played yet :D Tis a shame you can't shoot up and down though.
Managed to get to the boss before being taken out really quickly, will be giving it a few more goes that's fore sure!
One Direction, the game!
Cool idea :D Very fitting for the theme.
As 607 says, I also appreciate how you teach players about dodging colours where needed great job!

Tetragon by Pilly 2016-05-09T09:21:00
I really like that, love the transition between square grid to radial
SHIF-TED by Obvious Industries 2016-05-07T13:57:00
That was lovely :) Skool Daze meets my worst nightmares
ASTRO by Megalink 2016-05-07T13:48:00
Really solid game that :) Reminds me of risk of rain
Paint Bug by ciaodavinci 2016-05-07T13:35:00
Lovely graphics and animation in this one :)
A Worlds World by Hippieshaman 2016-05-07T13:16:00
I enjoyed that :) reminded me of Magic Carpet
ShapeShiftShip by CheesyRamen 2016-04-30T16:24:00
Love the Ikaruga/bullet hell style slow down when you defeat the boss, lovely touch :)
Do Robots Dream About Yoga? by MementoGames 2016-04-24T17:56:00
Think this is probably my favourite take on the theme so far, nice one :)
ShiftCube by Phask 2016-04-23T16:36:00
That's a really fun little game, well presented and tight controls. How many times did you record the "awww" sample? :D
Amoebattles by LevelUpJordan 2016-04-21T12:08:00
Really well made game, smooth gameplay, lovely graphics and good implementation of the theme
The Adventures of Box Boy by airdinghy 2016-04-21T12:00:00
Love the character animation of this one, well done :D
POLYBRAWL by nk 2016-04-20T19:30:00
Really like the presentation of this one, and it's a very unique style of "fighting" as well, nice one :)
Shift Fu'Mi by Gollunk 2016-04-20T19:27:00
Just a note, you may want to get rid of the "Web" download link, as it's for games that are playable via the browser (and this just links to the zip file!)
Shaper by Slowian 2016-04-20T19:26:00
Great idea, but man, do I suck at it! :B
FiveCubeFlight by Toonhawk 2016-04-20T19:10:00
Oh my word, my brain is not cut out for this kind of game at the end of the day!O_o very innovative idea though :)
Space Petting Zoo Crisis! by monika 2016-04-20T12:29:00
Waiting in room JZXR for a couple of people so we can rate this game :)
String Theory by SemiColon 2016-04-20T12:15:00
Never seen anything like this before, it's innovative and fun, nice one!
Sunshift by guimonpa 2016-04-19T20:36:00
Very fun and very smooth as well. The window size change mechanic is very original :) Dare I say it, I prefer this game to Flywrench
Sir Cumference by futom 2016-04-19T20:31:00
Hahaha! Great take on the idea :D
Super Shift-Shaper by Jacksendary 2016-04-19T12:41:00
Like the idea, but the FPS was too low for me on this game? (I'm usually fine with Unity games as well)
Work! by DevelopTech 2016-04-19T12:20:00
Ironically enough, I quite enjoyed typing work etc over and over again :( The sound effects made it somewhat satisfying
Shapeless Island by tanjent 2016-04-18T18:58:00
Unless I am just completely pants at this, it never actually felt like I was in control of things, it was more a case of sending the blocks on their way and hoping for the best.
Original concept though!
When gums go out by brainstorm 2016-04-18T18:52:00
D'awww I love a happy ending (hangover ignored)
Formorph by Solocov 2016-04-18T18:30:00
I enjoyed that, good take on the theme.
Solocov, I shamefully stopped at the lava spots / climbing part as it was quite punishing when you failed, I think the lava should have been just below the blocks you can touch, not jutting out of the sides as well.
Bounds by Nervous Composers 2016-04-18T18:25:00
That's really impressive, nice one :)
Took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out what the freeze power did...
Really enjoyed this one
Shape Escape by JoeManaco 2016-04-18T16:27:00
Awesome implementation of the theme :)
Shape Fiction by vootele 2016-04-18T16:03:00
Love the perspective in this one, I can't say I've ever seen that before, it's subtle, but really adds to the feel of the game
Morph World by WizByte_Games 2016-04-18T15:58:00
Try to bundle everything up as a zip, else I feel most people won't be able to play and rate your game
Reshape by Mantlair 2016-04-18T15:56:00
Great implementation of the theme and very innovative too.
Echoes by FrameMatt 2016-04-18T15:44:00
Well... nothing quite makes you feel at ease with your surroundings than a giant eyeball watching your every move :|
Love the atmosphere and the animation, nice one
Dark Dungeons by Pineapple 2016-04-18T15:40:00
Very innovative. I found my use of arms a bit hit and miss though (ironically!)
H2Olympics by MacDocBros 2016-04-18T15:14:00
Man... maybe it's my LD48 hangover, but that's a tough game, my brain never felt quick enough to process anything :D
Managed to get 23 in the end
Love the style and feel of the game
Battle of Creatures by JNI 2016-04-18T15:05:00
Love the colour style used, very vivid. Also like how the bullets can deflect off into the air, that's a nice touch!
Tetrikado by mightymarcus 2016-04-18T14:58:00
That's a really cool concept :) Just had a go with my daughter and she really enjoyed it too. We both started out just placing square blocks in a hope that we wouldn't lose... then we both started going on the offensive! >:D
