Running this game I was keep trying to use the mouse and that is my first perception of connecting the lines. Needless to say I was being completely dumb, and the gameplay this game provide is wonderful. The control feels good - not too easy yet not too harsh. Things get really interesting with multiple colors. A combination of strategy and skills :p
Oh and the background music is nice too!
Good job
I collected all spices within 5 minutes in my first run (~8 islands)! Did i got lucky? :p
I like the sweet graphics and the writing.
Somehow i developed a bit of motion sickness but that must be me (OR IS THAT INTENDED? :D)
Good job!
O M G ! This is AMAZING!
Innovation 10/10 Theme 10/10!
With that element of surprise and u get over 9k!
3 simple games with 2 types of enemies = BAM!
And you did this in 48 hours? HELLO!?
Anyways I got stucked at level 2 trying so hard to keep spawning the snakes and baiting them to the edge to add more MAGIC SPLASH. Maybe could add simple AI for them to follow you somehow. (Or maybe i just too dumb to find out how to do level 2. I skipped level 2 with cheats)
A good job well done!
@KEFIR: The platformer is pretty easy if you use Run (button C)
btw @OP wanna mention too that looking at the snake dance is super funny too! (snake running up to sky and dropping back to Zelda and up and down and up and down)
A 3D take on the platform-switch game, nice!
It feels very immersive too.
Good job! It would be great if you could expand it with more interesting levels!
p/s: The game ate my mouse icon though and I had to close the window for it to return
Slightly too easy (few seconds for each level) but the idea is really great! With carefully thought out maps this could be something that I would like to play everyday!
Love the heartbeats, not the zzp zap though :p
Good job. Fun game
I couldn't load in FireFox (black screen) although it showed "Loading".
but no worries, it works in Chrome!
I like the cartoonish style and the potato reference :)
And also that "big" surprise from stage 1
All in all i think the music really make the game. It gives an intense feel but no overly done.
Good job!
Sadly there is no others online. (Or is it just me?)
Still, i like the graphics and also the simple sound effects
Connecting planets.. I can only imagine it would be much more fun and merrier with more players!
btw really like that color explosion too, nice touch for me :)
Good job
Nice and challenging. I only got to 6!
The music is really fitting too.
I have only one suggestion, maybe you can use graphic instead of words to indicate which button to press? (e.g. the drums) Maybe helps with reaction time :p
Good job
Really sweet graphics!
And thanks for confirming that this game makes no sense in the end :p
Good job! This mechanism can turn into some very good brain training machine with specific contents!
My only complain is the background music. Maybe it is too repetitive that it hurts after few minutes
Unlimited supply of mazes and fun!
it was satisfying in that it is challenging but solvable
Good job
The UI design and the audio are nicely done.
A great game concept with a lot of potential to be expanded!
I really like the fancy comet too :p
Good job!
Really nice idea. Add a few more elements and the game can become very strategic. Imagine a multiplayer mode with bullets and defense fields!
btw it is unexpectedly funny looking those bullets running on ridiculous paths :)
Good job.
Great take on the theme and it is a very great game on its own! Everything works together nicely!
personally I would prefer the shooting mechanics slightly different, i.e. shooting along the straight lines instead of aiming as that caused confusion in the controls. I know it would make the game easier but then it is more fun too with better controls
Good job. nicely done
@Reyn: well it takes some time for the metamorphosis to happen :p
@Endurion: Yes that's all to it for now. I have a vision of an amphibian, slowly growing into different forms as time passes by, exploring whole new worlds with newly gained abilities. That moment when he breaks the egg membrane, or leaving water for the first time! Or, he, unfortunately, falls into a well forever while wandering. Or maybe, one day, he jumps on an eagle to explore the sky!
@LD Community: Each and everyone of you are so awesome! Honestly, this LD was a total failure for me, yet you guys can still come up with positive feedback! This really means a lot to me and I really appreciate it. This is what motivates me to continue, and I'm sure I could only do better nextime! See you at next LD!
All the best and cheers!
@yodamaster: Use arrow keys to control. If you use the web version, make sure the embedded html has the input focus
Thanks for the motivation guys! I will make sure I plan better for the next LD :)
*p/s: Workaround for web users having troubles with the game inputs:
[Firefox] Right Click on the Game -> "This Frame" -> "Open Frame in New Tab / Window"
That is due to the game embedded in the iframe of the site and interfering with the inputs.
Really nice. I like the difficulty level which is just nice (for me). Overall the control (jump, speed, etc.) feels just nice. And you even managed to implement the tutorials, great man!
Good job!
p/s: bug - I passed the first level (red paint) even after I failed because the game keeps going.
