The idea is nice but too much clicking for nothing. The win/lose condition isn't very clear. Good quality pixel art.

The idea is nice but too much clicking for nothing. The win/lose condition isn't very clear. Good quality pixel art.
Nice looking game!
The controls are a bit confusing especially since the instructions were for the french keyboard. Nicely done.
The music is really nice!
NIce game, great writing!
Interesting look, but the controls are weird, the plane should turn when banking.
Nice little puzzle, the graphics add a nice touch by making it less abstract.
Nice graphics!
Really fun game, great cat graphics!
Well implemented mini arcade game. Bu why make everything hard to see and dull by not using colors?
Nicely done, good production values. A bit too "trial and error"-ish for my taste though.
Nice game! My game used a similar concept, so it was interesting to play.
Unfortunately I got stuck in the main "elevator" zone after solving the second puzzle.
Excellent game with beautiful graphics.
Nice star something references.
Nice graphics style and cool idea. Unfortunately the physics are just too glitchy. Cubes start spinning for no reason ruining my attempts.
Nice sprites!
Nice old school style!
Really nice, good implementation and graphics and sound. But it REALLY needs some kind of checkpoint system. I got tired of starting from the start again.
Nice game, good production values and a good idea, I would have liked to see it explored a bit more.
Nice music!
Nice concept, I liked the change of scale. Things are bit small to click but I have a large monitor so that's probably it. Good music!
Good humor, nicely done, the gameplay is a bit too basic though.
Nice work, it was a bit difficult to understand how the gameplay works, though.
Cute graphics, I like how you made the character sprite. The rules made the game really difficult.
I didn't understand the concept on my first try. The computer generated voices are very annoying to listen to but the drawings are top-notch.
Interesting look but way too confusing.
Nice game, the ghost made me laugh! It was a bit unnatural to have to recharge the battery constantly maybe there could have been a way to use the theme that made more sense?
Awesome game, very polished and fun. Great idea to let us play both roles!
Awesome first person puzzler. I wish there were more levels!
Very cool game. The fencing mechanic was interesting.
Very cool concept. It works. Good job!
Superb game! I managed to finish it. I think it wasn't too difficult for adventure games players. Nice graphics style that reminded me of Another World.
Nice game. It would need just a bit more variety but it's pretty slick.
Pretty nice game. I like the minecraft-style enemies they are quite cute. The difficulty was bit brutal, my games lasted about 10s.
Very nice graphics style!
Adorable graphics, cool concept!
Nice graphics, awesome audio.
Nice graphics, I had pretty much no idea what I was doing though. There should be some indication of where I am on the minimap.
Nice work on the graphics and audio. There was way too much walking in the middle on nowhere at the beginning though. Good non-game!
I love the title. Nice graphics, especially the title screen and such. The game itself was nice but the controls could have been better.
Nice game. Very good mood. The gameplay is a bit confusing. I finally managed to get the key though I don't where i got it from and I died near the exit. It would be nice to be able to restart instantly.
Nice little game, I couldn't really see where I was going but it wasn't too hard anyway.
Nice but I couldn't get passed the second screen and it takes too much time to retry. Good art though.
Pretty cool graphics! The gameplay itself feels like it needs a bit more polish to really shine. Keep working on it, that would be awesome!
Interesting graphics style but it didn't make much sense.
Sorry but using freesound is not allowed in the compo category (especially when the music is such a big part of your entry). Your game should be moved to the jam category where it belongs.
Nice implementation, good graphics but it really gets annoying quickly. Or maybe I just lack the patience for that type of game.
Awesome game! Graphics are great, the idea is great and make good use of the theme, and it's quite playable not overly annoying like a game like that could have very easily have become. Good job!
Nice game!
Very good use of the theme, cleanly implemented!
Nice graphics!
Nice idea, I liked the little intro. But I couldn't figure out what to do in the 3rd screen and I got tired of restarting from the beginning.
Very glitchy but the idea is fun and those little cube workers that keep typing in rhythm are excellent!
Nice game!
Fun little game, the cube-cat is back :D
Very cool graphic style, it's all very alien so maybe a bit too confusing.
Good game. I like the little characters. Not so easy to aim somewhat accurately.
Nice and simple. Sculpting "peacefully" was a lot less frustrating than the sculpting challenge. Good job!
So I'm naked in the forest and a giant teddy bear is trying to kill me! I'm not going to have nightmares about that, lol! Nice game, good humor (that animation cycle!) but I gave up after I realized how little damage i did to the bear after 3 nights.
Simple but effective
Excellent game, a bit rough but super interesting gameplay that kept me trying until I reached the end (hardcore version ;)
Very promising, you should finish it!
I want moar kittens!
Nice little racer. I think a few textures would have given a better sense of speed but it's fun as it is.
Very pretty, nice character animation. I gave up quickly though as I couldn't figure out how to make a jump.
Nice atmosphere, but I just beat the game without encountering anything bad.
Good game, I managed to reach the end. I liked the visuals and mood!
Pretty cool game, I liked how it looked like the same bridge getting worse with time right until the last level.
The one button thing has been done many times but this is the first time it seems actually justified by the story. Good job!
Cute game, the gameplay idea is really nice but not so easy to understand at first.
Brilliant game! Great graphics, very cool gameplay. Most likely it was hard to tweak but you managed to make interesting levels.
Nice little shooter, very smooth as usual with your games!
There should be an in-game reason to try to go for minimum damage. If it's all just based on score, it's just more fun to ignore it and shoot everything.
Cool little platformer! The wall jumping was a bit too hard.
Very minimalistic.
Nice idea but restarting from the bottom after each mistake is just too punishing!
Great humor!
Very minimalistic, nice music!
Baaaah! :D
Excellent game! The characters are well designed and the gameplay has a good progression that made me play until the end.
I'm not a huge fan of the idea of controlling the sword with the mouse, it's original but get tedious quickly.
Impressive scope for a 48h game, that ship is some serious speed modeling! The game was fun, needs a bit of gameplay tuning though.
The fishing mechanic is nicely implemented, cute fishies.
Haha, original and funny!
Funny game, nice graphics!
I love star trek so this was fun. I can't say I really understood what was going on though, I just jailed random people until I got the right one. It would be great to expand the game with an inventory and clues to pick up! Nice voice acting!
Really harder than you would expect to aim like that. Neat idea.
Simple but fun. Great voice acting :D
Great entry, minimalistic yet fun, the controls and physics were responding nicely. The difficulty was well balanced (I managed to win). Overall quite fun.
It took me a good 5 minutes to figure out how to play even after reading the description but I managed to beat the game. I liked the Japanese atmosphere.
*** SPOILERS *** The blue cubes correspond to a specific shoji (door), so make sure you view all the squares from that one, then touch the blue cube, press shift immediately and in "combat mode" just click all the squares as fast as possible. Only the 4 panels leading to the garden are part of the gameplay. *** SPOILERS ***
It's the beginning of a nice game. Adding some smoothing to the animation would make the game feel much better.
It seemed crazy hard at first but then once I found out how to shoot the bad (good?) guys without getting in any danger, it was easy to reach the end.
Also just turning the cubes into little cube men, maybe even by something as simple as giving them a little cube hat and a smiley face would have given it much more feeling.
Wow, amazing concept, that's really original! Fun to play but a bit confusing: the objectives should be more clear. Also sometimes a bit glitchy (I got stuck several times in the last level) but that's to be expected when trying to implement such a crazy idea in 48h.
Very nice game, fun and good production values. It just needs some ramping up of difficulty.
Fun game, the best part is the mustache and hair drawn on the screen :D
Interesting visual style. I just wish there was something to do in the game.
Nice atmosphere, not sure why I'm the villain, though.
Very nice game, the graphics are really cute, the way the little guys run away!
(just add cursor lock next time ;)
Very cool game! I managed to reach the end, there was a good progression with the various power-ups. Just the beginning is a bit tricky if you don't start by taking the damage increase.
Nice game!
(By the way public domain music is not allowed in the compo category)
This belongs in the jam category. As you used existing assets to build your game, you cannot submit to the compo category, sorry.
nice graphics, good gameplay but it relies a bit too much on precise timing.
Mice little tower defense!
Lots of kitty killing games this LD T__T
Nice game!
Very cool game, it reminded me of Sos's McPixel. I just wish there was a bit more to do in the mini games.
Nice game, my first idea was actually very similar but then I changed my mind. It's bit too dark it was hard to find the gold.
Poor kitties! Funny game!
You need change https to http for the web link to work.
It took me 3 tries before I found the superbowl but other than that it's a cool game. Nice idea too.
Interesting. I saw a similar shading technique in Modo's NPR Kit and I thought about replicating it for a game.
Interesting concept, but I think the game would work better if we either try to kill him or to save him.
Run, Santa, run! I like the snow effect. :D
Pew! Pew! Pew! Funny game!
Nice graphics. This should be in the jam category due to the use of existing sounds...
Great game, fun and beautiful graphics!
haha, brilliant game. very original and that kung fu monkey thing is hilarious. Sometimes a bit random but that also creates accidentally funny situations.
Nice abuse of the physics engine. The robot is pretty cool and the animations are quite good.
I made it to the end. Nice game, I liked how there was a sense of progression from one thing to the next.
Nice cyberspace game
So did you make the music yourself?
Very cool idea and effect! It would need an additional gameplay gimmick to feel more game than sandbox but it's still pretty fun as it is.
I like the environment and the little creature/thing that we control and the ambient music. Too bad it's not more finished it could have been fun.
Really nice graphics and music. The game is well implemented but not knowing what will kill me, lack of feedback on the objective and having to restart from scratch when I die made me give up quickly which is a shame since there seem to be so much more nice content on the screenshots.
I usually like adventure games but the controls made the game rather hard to enjoy. Why not go with a standard point and click system?
A very simple shooter but it works well. You say there is some kind of genetic algorithm at work but honestly I couldn't tell the difference from random generation. The audio was a bit repetitive... Also I like the wall texture :)
Interesting concept but being a first person game really kills it. I need to see where I'm landing to play this game.
Nice little beat'em up.
Nice atmosphere but what a depressing game. I was stuck at some point for a long time and I don't know what triggered the next phase but somehow I made it to the end. I'm disappointed it didn't make more sense.
Nice game. Interesting original idea, good humor too but it really takes way too long to get new upgrades, I only got to see a few types of leg before giving up due the repetition of having to start the game again.
Super pretty graphics. The game seems interesting but I feel like I have very little control on what's happening/
Pretty nice graphics but the bugs made it difficult to play even though it was short I had to restart it 3 times. Also it's offensive to cats!
Nice game but the world is just way too big for the amount of actual unique content and I got tired of exploring at random. The graphics are nice the game feels ok and I think it would have been great on a much smaller map.
I really liked this game, it was very cute and I enjoyed it a lot. But it's a bit short and needs more gameplay beside exploring.
Also it's too bad the gliding style of movement without animation or sfx ruins the immersion a bit.
Very nice tactical shooter! Impressive amount of content for a jam game. The gameplay ends up being a bit simplistic considering all the different types of units you had to play with. Good music too.
Great little puzzler! The graphics are simple but effective, the audio is good, a bit repetitive but fine for a 48h game.
I really liked the puzzles, they were well designed and made me think.
Not really a game but a nice demo. The interaction is too much guessing by making random mouse moves so it's a bit tedious but the sound is really awesome.
Interesting idea, has some nice music, but it's hard to really get into the game.
nice explosions!
Nice game idea. Became a bit glitchy when I was big.
Nice concept but the problems with movement and clipping make it hard to play.
Nice level editor but where is the game?
Very nice graphics and mood.
Nice game. Could use some extra ammo :)
Very nice graphics, well produced game. The gameplay wasn't that fun though. One problem is the limited view of the world: it would be more fun if you could actually see what's going on.
Nice little game. Good use of the theme and the effects made the pixels look better than they would have been otherwise. It tries a bit too hard to be artsy and emotional so that doesn't really quite work but the gameplay was good.
I drowned my people :D
Nice little tower defense. Too easy but fun for a while
Mmm, I think I just broke my eyes :) Good use of the theme!
Nice atmosphere! The physics system was a bit weird.
nice and relaxing. Beautiful graphics and music!
Nice shooter if a bit difficult, good looking graphics. But I died due to lack of mouse lock and then it restarted from the beginning...
Really cool idea but I would have liked to have more control over how the ant moves.
Nice graphics and music!
While this is a cool game idea, it should be in the jam category not compo since it relies heavily on existing content (photos, sounds) apparently taken from the web. You should ask an admin to change the category.
I can't rate it for now.
It looks really nice but it's a bit short.
Nice game, at first I thought I was just randomly collecting coins. It's only by reading a comment I understood the concept. Really cool concept!
Nice little platformer, the graphics are cute and the controls responsive. I gave up at the donkey kong stage.
The graphics are awesome. The plane controls not as much. Nice game.
Cool, a curling game! Quite nice, but lack of an AI opponent limited the fun I could get out of it. Also the collisions between stones I mean worlds were surprisingly soft. I really enjoyed the little brooms. :)
Nice concept but building is slow and the attacks relentless so it's hard to actually build something that doesn't get immediately destroyed.
Nice idea. The game become unplayable after a while (too many things on screen?). It could use a bit more gameplay depth but it's not bad.
Sorry I can't play it. Interesting way to do the LD, I just checked the rules it doesn't say video games just games.
Really nice adventure game with cute graphics + extra credit for 100% own code. Awesome!
The game over is brutal so I didn't play it for too long it looks really nice!
So I worked hard to get the rope then I got killed through a wall and had to restart again... RAGEQUIT!
Still nice game with cool puzzles!
The first time I played something happened and I couldn't click the moon (it wouldn't highlight when moused over). The second time I totally made it! ;)
Really cool game. I spent a while on it but I was still surprised by some rules (like you can use your opponent's buildings!?)
It would be cool to have a reference with all the rules.
Humor points for the penis shaped thingie! :D
Nice Missile Command, reminded me of the one in the keynote :)
Simple but effective :)
It looks like there was a cool idea underneath it, but I don't really understand how to play and there are some drawing problems... better luck next time :)
Maze generator... CHECK :)
Looks nice. But the lack of decent camera control makes it hard to play, so you shouldn't have added a death limit and I did not finish it. Still
Cute little world!
Nice concept, I enjoyed crushing puny little humans! muahaha (it got repetitive quickly though)
You know for a tiny world that was actually a huge in-game world :D
I managed to get to the end and it was really fun. I liked the different game mechanics even though they feel a little bit unpolished.
I won! Nice game. A bit frustrating at first when you have no clue how the game works but once you get it, it's information gathering and then brain power ;)
It reminded me a bit of those old Freescape games like Castle Master.
Too bad there isn't more to do than click but it's a nice little game. I appreciate the extra polish out of the game proper (into, nice menu, how to page..)
Cool game but I would have played longer if there was no timer.
The characters are cute
I like the radar.
Nice how everything is animated. The game is not that fun to play but it's an original idea.
lol, well that's one game I won't be able to beat.
It's a bit unrealistic to expect people to play LD games as multiplayer games so it should have some kind of opponent AI (even a bad one). It looks a bit over-simplistic but it works, it might even be fun with an opponent.
Nicely executed shmup, but the limited field of view combined with slowness of the game and how easy it is to die made me give up rather quickly.
The snakes are pretty cool.
Please provide a direct link to a decent sized version, on kongregate, it's too tiny to be playable. I had to fish for the SWF in the page source so I could play it while actually seeing anything.
The game seems nicely done but colors would have been 100x better. I got bored not knowing what to do after a while, it should be more clear what you can interact with.
Cool little game.
On my Firefox the text was rendered way too big, it turns out this is because I have it configured to prevent websites from using their own font. Not that your game is to blame for that.
Nice game, original concept and one-button gameplay. And great cat (superb animation)!
What I don't get though, is the pixelated effect. It's Unity so it's not a technical limitation and it really ruins the game's graphics.
Also post the source, please, it's mandatory for compo games.
What a depressing game! Well, nice mood you managed to create. You should have made the controls in full 3d, then there could have been some exploration, it's not much fun when all you can do is go left or right.
Hurry up and fix it. I wanna play the kitty game already! ;)
PS: don't forget the web build.
kthxbai =^__^=
Interesting idea, you really followed the theme. Moving around in the dark is a bit frustrating especially when combined with the off-center camera orbit center. The camera could use some occlusion testing.
Graphics the world is big and the guy and props are well modeled and the animation is great. Too bad that there are so few textures and they could be more refined too.
The gameplay is simple exploration but the world is interesting enough so it's entertaining for a few minutes at least. The sounds are a bit difficult on the ears though.
Overall, a nice 48h entry! Yay!
Looks like there was some potential for a good game: point'n'click adventure and nice graphics (even if the b&w theme is a bit depressing). And what's with the music? Could it be that the idea was something similar to Loom?
Original idea and good use of the theme, unfortunately not much fun to get killed many times while trying to find a good place to escape. Some sound would have really boosted the atmosphere of the game.
Nice graphical concept, the gameplay is a bit tedious probably because the guards lack a good AI.
It's a bit glitchy which makes it hard to want to persevere to get past that level. Still a nice platform/puzzle game that would just have needed a few more hours of polish and easier levels.
Cool game but not enough content.
Nice idea but I couldn't control the effect of the gun well enough and got stuck really early.
Nice game, I like the use of the rag doll effect, the graphics could be a little more polished but the animations are cool. The gameplay is well tweaked.
A very well polished game. The stealth element didn't matter such much as the avoiding the obstacles but still it was a nice touch. I like it.
Not much to do unfortunately, I like the ship control mechanism if only it didn't get stuck in walls all the time.
A very original idea, it's fun while trying to figure out how the game works after that it gets repetitive though.
Nice game, I'm relieved to see it's the result of a "large" team (for a LD) Jam game and not a compo solo entry as there is really a lot of content and polish going on there. Nice graphics!
However the gameplay isn't that fun to play and that's too bad since clearly you would have had the resources to do more testing and tweaking if you had made that a priority.
I tried many times but I couldn't get past the first obstacle. The graphics and title screen seem well polished. I'll leave Audio blank as I don't think I should rate royalty free music as part of your game.
Nice little game, not much to do and a bit random but nice for a first LD game.
Like others I keep going through the floor, nice idea unfortunately unfinished.
nice old school style racing effect that managed to surprise me when it gets "upgraded".
A bit hard to see what's going on at first.
Guest mode please
Nice little game, the wall jumping could use some improvement.
Not bad but all this repetitive jumping and then falling down again gets annoying quickly if you're not into that kind of games. I would have liked it better if the rest of the game was more like the first room. Good sound ambiance.
Nice concept but it's really easy if you've read the description and understand what you have to do.
I got stuck on level 2. Nice game but it needs more polishing.
The idea is original, but it would need more tweaking and experimentation to get a gameplay that really works.
Nice game. It looks really nice and the physics and control of the bike feel right.
Gameplay-wise it quickly gets boring. Some handmade levels with more gameplay elements are badly needed.
I'm always impressed by your games! A bit too hard though, on level 4 I died after I finally got all the gems, I almost cried ;)
Nice game with good graphics. The gameplay is OK but it's lacking some pacing to give the player a sense of accomplishment. Currently, it's just resisting for a while and then die. If the enemies came in waves that would be more fun.
I almost gave up at the second level which was really tedious but the next levels were more entertaining. The concept is innovative but doesn't quite work 100% as it is, it would need an amount of experiment that was clearly not possible in 48h.
Still great idea and fun little game!
Very cool game. The controls are a bit unintuitive (up for reading but z for jump) and jumping feels slightly unresponsive.
I loved the dying part and the fedora thing but still gave up when it became frustrating at the glass blocks level. Lots of good gameplay concepts before that though.
A very frustrating experience. Why are they so resistant? Normal fire seems to do nothing and even the vertical firing takes a painfully long time to kill them. Also the music would have really needed a longer loop or a way to turn it off ;)
Still for a 10 hours game it's a nice.
Nice graphics but repetitive and not really following the theme (unless I missed something?)
Very good game concept but it's frustrating to have to restart from scratch after a mistake. I gave up after losing on time when I thought I had solved level 5. I think the time limit was a really bad idea. I don't want to have to do the same level again at full speed until I manage to get a good run without a stupid mistake to ruin it.
Make it more friendly instead of punishing and it would be great!
Graphics are awesome as usual!
Nice game! The graphics are great and it works well. It's a bit too easy but oddly relaxing.
Too bad the jerky movements really ruin the game.
I like the controls of the little guy, who is nicely animated. However just running around in this randomly generated labyrinth really feels pointless very quickly.
Mmm, tetris with physics, nice idea. Kind of frustrating though. You should add some acceleration/deceleration to the controlling movements, that would be much nicer.
I played the 3rd level first so the other two were easy after that. Fun with physics!
Lol, it's so tiny on my 2560x1600 screen! Nice pixel art!
Multiple choice game, mmmm
Fun little game. A bit hard to control. Having to restart from the first level is annoying.
I just won before I could understand what was going on :D
More of a demo than a game but still fun to play with. The simulation needs to work at finer intervals to avoid the balls teleporting effect.
Since the XNA Framework 3.0 is still in beta, there is no downloadable redist package from Microsoft. It took me almost an hour to install VisualC# 2008 and XNA 3.0 to make the game work. v___v
The game itself is unfortunately not a game but another physics sandbox in desperate need of some real gameplay. The idea could have been fun if there was some challenge.
I couldn't figure how things work exactly, I just kept dropping stuff randomly and that seemed to stop the robots
Seems to crash after a while or was that game over?
Quite nice for a physics based game!
That would have been a AAA title in 1979 :D Fun retro-game!
Very cool, idea and it's really nice that you made the physics yourself. However, the sluggish controls and lack of interesting levels are a disappointment.
But did you forget to post the source code? I'd be interested in seeing that physics code.
Cool game but it becomes very slow after a while. An option to speed up the simulation would have been great.
Also most of the little guys just wander around doing nothing instead of being where they are needed. I was ready to start breaking the tower but then they attacked my guys near it while all my soldiers were having fun on the other side of the island. That was after 30 min of play so I gave up.
I couldn't get into it, it was just too hard and frustrating and the window is so small it's hard to see anything. You get extra audio points for the cool robotic voice though.
Nice interpretation of the theme. Too minimalist to be really fun as it is though.
The concept isn't a lot of fun, is it?
It's a bit unfinished. The controls are way too complicated for that kind of simple gameplay why not use the mouse to aim?
Cute graphics!
Interesting idea but not very fun to play as it is
The game concept doesn't really work as it is. We should be allowed to choose various blocks to build more interesting towers balancing attacking capability and defense. And then off course the shooting part needs to be more challenging and not just shooting at random. Then the idea could be really fun.
I wasn't able to get pas the camera, I didn't try that many times though having to restart the game every time was a problem.
A bit confusing
Nice but the controls are very unintuitive.
Nice mini-civilization. It takes a few tries to get the game mechanics and then its mostly just about selecting the right place for your tower. Too bad there aren't more elements to keep the game interesting beyond that point.
too hard :)
Great game! Typical of your style, original gameplay with cute graphics!
I like the idea, but the same type of equations aren't always detected consistently: something worked on the left side of the tower but not on the right for some reason. It would need work to make the concept really work.
Nice textures. The sandbox-like control system is really annoying. Just getting the nice looking blocks outside of the nice looking box challenged my patience. It would also be better if you had put more game in that physics library demo.
Cool guitar playing but not very playable, things happen too fast and I get stuck inside stuff.
Nice old-school effect. There is not enough friction so it's really hard not to fall and then you have to climb everything again.
Also I still had the annoying accessibility shortcuts of windows enabled so pressing shift repeatedly was a problem until I disabled it.
Awesome game. Fun to play and well polished. Gameplay gets a bit repetitive and great music too.
I liked the parallax scrolling
Cool idea. The results are a bit hard to predict.
I liked the trebuchet animation.
Nice use of the theme. The collision with the control tower is a bit silly they are clearly not on the same scale.
Fun for a little while, it would need more options to make the gameplay more interesting.
Well... that was minimalist!
I had to install python/pygame, an exe would have been nice. There doesn't seem to really be a challenge to the gameplay: just click the "towers".
Interesting gameplay that kept me occupied for a while. The difficultly can really depend on what cards you get on some levels but overall it's relatively easy.
With some tweaks (the interface needs work) and more polished graphics it could make a great game.
It's nice but it's really a shame you didn't spend more time on getting some correct controls working. What's the point of making cut scenes and lots of levels if you have to do everything using keyboard repeat controls? The basic gameplay should come first, then add bells and whistles.
I don't blame you (too much) for the non-stopping music, though. The java plugin has a known bug, it keeps a reference to the applet so that it doesn't get garbage collected.
Very very difficult with the same colors not allowed in the corners you easily get configurations where you are screwed. A single mistake destroys almost everything and then when you have lost too many blocks already you're playing for nothing. The one time it looked like I could win the game ended because of that.
It would have been much better if left click just cycles the color of a block and right click cycles in reverse.
Make the game more playable and it could be a lot of fun.
I had to install Java3D to make it work: https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html
Awesome game with great graphics and cool music. I really like the the way the different enemies with armor are handled.
Nice idea, blocks should be cleared between levels.
The sluggishness of the controls kind of kills the fun. Nice scary music!
Interesting idea, needs tweaking but could be great.
Ok, somebody told me the solution. I hate you PoV!
The hovering thing is nice to fire a whole salvo in one move. Too bad there isn't much challenge.

Cool game, some solid tower defense mechanics. The graphics are nice though I wish the game a bit less zoomed in (or maybe I didn't find the control for that?). Fun to play.

Super good game! Adorable graphics, very nice soundtrack and a fun concept!
Rickety, Rickety Robot by robcozzens2 2020-04-27T12:07:40Z ♥ 0
Very nice, the robot is cute and the puzzle mechanics are solid. Some of the rules are not obvious and have to be found by trial and error. I would have liked some more challenging levels, as once you find what the rules are those ones are pretty easy.

Simple and fun, the cats are super cute. Their clever disguise didn't fool me!
Cthulhu: The Cult Must Not Die by LaserPanzerWal 2020-04-25T09:26:16Z ♥ 3
Very impressive graphics, the music is really great too. Overall it's super polished and the mood is great.
However the combat doesn't feel good, it needs to be more interactive. Also in terms of waves and general pacing I didn't feel like I had much an of an impact.

Nice game, the driving feels silly in a good way and the voice over is good. Overall good fun!

The music is super nice, the game was rather confusing.

Nice idea, the controls are not very intuitive though and the icons not always clear.
Wanted: Alive! by Dan Colman 2020-04-24T18:46:01Z ♥ 2
Good game, the last level was a bit tricky, and it often felt a bit unfair as I couldn't pass the invisible wall or I couldn't activate the dash, so that could be improved a bit. But good job!

Interesting idea, I found it a bit weird that I couldn't rotate the pieces (unless I missed it).
I think what would have made all the difference would have been a series of "levels" or challenge such as reach this spot with a blue piece, have 6 red in a row or anything that would give a sense of achievement rather than this open ended mode.
CHAD THE BABY SAVER by Brendev 2020-04-24T18:34:26Z ♥ 0
Fun game, the blue text in the tutorial was hard to read as I couldn't find a way to make the game full screen I found it overall a bit hard to see what was going on. Still it was fun shooting those guys, nice idea to have guys with shields too.!
Feeding Rush! by Codey 2020-04-24T18:25:20Z ♥ 1
Pretty good game! Simple but addictive, it was a really nice idea to be able to reuse the bones. It feels great to kill two birds with one bone. Graphics are also simple but very nice!
Ad Herbis by tydyus 2020-04-24T18:17:48Z ♥ 2
Nice idea and graphics. The interface was a bit confusing, I did not understand I had to craft then put in the box, I kept selecting ingredients and clicking "send".
For some orders, the requested product did not seem to match the description to me. I'm not sure if this is intentional.

Hey your game has the same name as mine! :)
Neat idea, but at some point my guy got stuck on a tree.
You Reap What You Shoot by darkfrost 2020-04-23T17:20:09Z ♥ 2
Pretty solid graphics, I like the characters! The game is well made and feels nice. I just wish it was a bit more challenging as it quickly becomes a bullet hell for the other guys.

The controls are a bit confusing at first, I managed to grow a plant. Nicely done!
My Best Friend Has Many Tentacles (VR) by andyman404 2020-04-23T16:48:43Z ♥ 0
Pretty cool game! I wish I had the balls to make a VR game for this LD, but maybe next time I will. The monster looks really awesome and I liked the flying control. After I got rid of the other girls the monster's health kept going down and it seemed like there was nothing more to do?
Also why didn't anybody tell me there was a magical girl game jam I could have doubled with the LD? ;)

It looks nice, but I'm not sure if something was suppose to happen, I watched grass grow for a while but there were no enemies.

Nice atmosphere, kind of hard to manage everything at the same time though.

Nice little game, I think the dog should prioritize drinking rather than die of thirst while chewing furniture!
