Wow, the visuals are amazing! And quite funny too, great entry :)
Same fore me, very Vlambeer feel to it. And I didn't mind the camera shakes. Very energetic gameplay, I liked it!
I have just one word for you: LOL :D
Love it!
Damn, that was great. One hell of a tough boss, though ;)
Very nice!
As others have said, the visuals are impressive and I like the investigative gameplay, though it's currently a bit too unforgiving and too hard to figure out what keywords work. If you found a way to make that easier, so that the player doesn't have to "fight" the parser and can focus more on the investigation itself, that could be really cool.
That said, I'm honestly really uncomfortable with the story. I'm not sure if this is different when you play other endings, but the one I found had some pretty ugly implications. Not intentionally, I'm sure, but it still leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Yeah, that was great, tremendous fun and bigly cool idea :D
My best was just over 60s. Pretty cool stuff!
I agree with @pjchardtthesecond, being able to see the screens while pressing the buttons would definitely be a big help in figuring them out. Otherwise, interesting idea!
Huh, that was a lot more complex than I expected. As others mentioned, timing it just right is quite the challenge, so kudos for that! One issue though, anytime a sound is played, it seems to stop all the others, so I only just noticed there's music after I stopped clicking anything.
The title is hilarious :D And the game itself is pretty good, I only wished for more to do toward the end. Of course, the options are somewhat limited for a peace bomb, but maybe the ability to deflect some of the bullets through the power of love or something?
Not sure if I missed something obvious, but it seemed like there was only one way to finish it, by going after the key straight away before the minions pile up. Once they start, it looked like it was actually impossible to advance, since they keep piling on and you're just busy taking them out with no time or room for going after the key left. Still, it was an interesting twist on the old Mario Bros Classic, so it was fun, though sadly a bit short.
The controls felt a bit cumbersome to me and sadly I didn't manage to make it very far either. The unforgiving precision required and the platforms not carrying you made it really frustrating, which is too bad, because I'm kinda curious about the ending and would've loved to see it. Maybe I'll give it another shot later, but yeah, it has some ragequit potential ;)
Wow, that was annoyingly good. Love the mechanics (the window jumping in particular), music, writing... Amazing how polished this is. Respect!
Agree on the aiming thing, it was sometimes a little hard to catch planets and eat the pieces, especially when you're close to them but looking in the wrong direction. Then again, that might just be part of the challenge, so it didn't bother me too much. All in all, pretty cool!
Oh no, already over! Would also have liked to keep playing a little longer, but that was fun :)
Awesome, love it!
Aw yeah, BOXES!
Oh no, not the Loudham Dire! xD Restart worked for me btw.
Just say the levels are underground, that's all the justification you need. ;D
Oh yeah, 149924 points! I have no idea if that's good or bad! :D
Gorgeous.
Awesome. :D
Wow, that is beautiful!
Man, that soundtrack is fantastic. Could be a bit louder though, or the jump sounds quieter. But nice work!
The jumping feels great! Had a little problem though, the nurse talks about bullets and doesn't actually heal me.
Wow, that was great! I think I played that for an hour just now, and I'll probably do it again. :D
Damn, that's tough. :D
Hitting all the right noiry notes. My only complaint is that it's too short, I WANT MOAR!! :D Nice work!
Awesome. Just awesome.
You had me at Sword & Shovelry.
Nice, love it!
Oooh, that's pretty. And puzzly! Love it! :D
Daaaaaaaaaaaamn, that is awesome. O_O
Nice! That controls pretty well, and I like how the bird's heart is broken if you mess up. :D Idealized you a bit there, huh? ;)
The font is a bit hard to read, but that's a pretty interesting idea. :) Also interesting how we both used the theme the same way. :D
Now that was a cool idea, love it! :)
Damn, that was fun! :D With the second guy I stepped on a mine and had to basically go the whole level on the last life. Thankfully the enemies rather run into walls than find a way around corners, that saved me. :D
A bit more audiovisual feedback would be nice, but I suppose that's due to the time constraints. :) Worked fine for me in FF 26 btw.
Wow, that looked and handled really nice. :)
Well, that was weirdly addictive... Made my first 1,3 million in just under 10 years :D
I don't know why I chose lose. I guess there's something wrong with me. :D
I feel like I should've seen it coming when I had that dynamite for breakfast... Oh well.
I must admit that I still kinda like this. I guess that's charming graphics for ya. :)
Ooh, pretty! Was a bit confused about the controls at first, especially after I spawned directly next to an enemy and was killed immediately, but then it's pretty fun. :D
Nicely done!
Wonderful! That is so Game Boy. :D Love it hard!
Wow, that looks amazing. Found 3 endings so far, will have to keep an eye out for the rest. :)
Same here. :/
Very interesting way to up the difficulty. :)
Not bad! Would be cool to see which cards you have collected, I got a bit confused wether I had just picked up a yellow or an orange one, I was too focused on not being detected. ;)
Interesting, even the trees are on Twitter. :D
Very Slender and very terrifying. :D Didn't have too much of an issue with the controls, something about them was a bit odd, but it didn't bother me too much.
Nice! My crew members are all going insane, but it's cute. :D
LOL "Romeo is the bomb." That killed me. xD Just brilliant.
Jeez, I just lost miserably against myself. As in, the guy I had shoot just anywhere either got me all the time, or the well-aimed one backfired and hit himself. :D Cool stuff!
That would be good, I too had a bit of trouble figuring out how it works, and I don't wanna vote without actually having played. :)
I don't get the complaint about the difficult, I thought it was fine, made it through with 3-5 tries each. :) At least until I got stuch after the 4. or 5. level, there it just went back to where I left off in the same level. I checked the levels in the menu at the beginning, and the two following were actually the same, but there seemed to be more after that. Anyway, the retro flair is wonderful, and it's pretty fun. Would love to see of this!
Nice! Doesn't waste any time getting challenging either. :D Love it!
That might've been the wrong code, but the one I thought was the right one had a zero in it. How do I zero? :D
Really nice! Could see pretty well without the light though. :)
Really nice, love it! The soundtrack is fantastic, too.
Aw. :)
A game is a game. ;)
GTFO :O That looks AMAZING! I mean, the level design is a bit too linear for my taste, but still... Wow.
I have died by stupidness, and deservedly so. :D
Hooray for text adventures!
I read that as "an aging programmer" first. :D But this is really fun, love it! As cbear_wallis said, the music is a bit repetitive and the graphics could use some work, but you really have something there!
NOOOO, not on Christmas!
Looks great! Was a little confused at first though, I tried to control him and when pressing right, he stopped and didn't move again.
Now that's a lotta monsters... Interesting idea! :)
Woohoo, I got FOUR! Only took a million tries! Btw, for a game this mean, a couple of different, randomly played failure messages would be cool. You just hear them so much. :D
Funny idea. :)
Whoa. :O Dude, that is amazing!
Sweet! Just earlier I was thinking how there aren't enough ninja games. :D
NICE! Extremely cool idea!
Big thumbs up for the pun. :D
Yeah, I jumped a bit when the dark blob came threw that door. :D Looks pretty so far. Too bad you can't really do much, but it sounds like you're happy with how far you got. :)
Nice, that's a cool kinda retro. :) Just a heads up, one time I got stuck after crashing the chopper into a wall. I was respawned inside the "stairs" and could then only move within the walls, basically caught on the wrong side of the barrier.
Oh noes, stuck with two cards! But the sounds made me giggle quite a bit. :D
Pretty damn cool, love it! And re: the theme, it's her, right? She's the one, alone and on her own, the only person around (for the most part)
The collision acted a bit strange here and there, but overall, not bad. :)
Wow, this is incrabbable! Amazing work!
Well, point nicely made! Though I'd say that there can never be enough games about ninjas. :D
What I personally find confusing about the jumping, is that there's no indication how high it goes until you start falling again. What I mean is, usually there's a bit of a curve, you get slower while you jump up and pick up speed when falling down. That would make it a lot easier to work with, as you'd have a clear indication at which point in the jump he is, and when you see, ok he's getting slower already, you can tell whether he'll make it to where you wanna go.

Very cool, one of the better typing games I've seen this jam!
My first day in the agency by mapedorr 2018-05-01T18:18:58Z ♥ 1
It looks great and I like the idea, but yeah, bodily functions a bit too frequent and I was confused by the movement, because it feels like it's turn-based but then it's not. I actually think I might've enjoyed turn-based more, this seems like a game that would go really well with.
Super Turbo Fishing by funisfun8 2018-05-01T17:19:36Z ♥ 0
Lol that's an awesome idea :D Love it, only suggestion would be to put a little delay between completing the fishing part and the race, it's quick a sudden transition where I was still focused on hitting the right spot and suddenly it's racing along. Otherwise, really really cool, please develop this further!
Splitscreen Hide N Seek by PackNSlash 2018-05-01T17:13:52Z ♥ 0
It's a great idea and well executed. My only complaint is that the turning is extremely confusing, I get completely lost as to where I am and what part I'm looking at. But I see that's down to time, so still, well done!
Amazing Blackjack by tamara188 2018-05-01T16:48:22Z ♥ 0
Quite rough around the edges, but still a fun game. Motivated me to keep going till the end. Nicely done!
Gun&Volleyball by DanteWang 2018-05-01T16:38:23Z ♥ 0
Same here, controllers would be great, as it's a little hard to aim like this and actually hit the ball. Still, it is a pretty cool idea, well done!
Candy! by Ratstail91 2018-04-30T23:54:59Z ♥ 0
Damn, this is a really good entry. I had to read the comments to understand the E was an instruction, not just scorched ground, but that was really fun and great puzzles. Love it!

Lol I love that he likes his outfit :D Great idea, it's quite fun!
Cross The Field by henriquecanella 2018-04-29T21:29:22Z ♥ 1
Congrats on your first jam! I found it a little bit hard to tell where the lanes are, the way the characters are positioned confused me a bit about when they might hit me and when I was safe. Perhaps using slightly different greens for every other lane would help with that? Otherwise, well done!
Race Streaker by Lexxio 2018-04-29T21:25:26Z ♥ 1
That's really good! Great sounds and visuals, but also a really innovative concept! Nice work, hope you'll find time to play and rate other's games, so more people will see yours!
Kiddo On The Board by ai-lin 2018-04-29T21:17:57Z ♥ 0
This is actually a really nice idea! I was a little bit confused about what the die does at first and the chess system seems to have a couple of small quirks, but I really like this! I hope you'll find time to play and rate other games, so you can get a few more eyes on this!

Your game doesn't seem to be on your itch page. Did you remove/forget to make public?
Exploration Timed Race by Divy 2018-04-29T19:52:50Z ♥ 0
Yup, same issue. What did you make your game with?
Escape by Gamekrazzy 2018-04-26T22:20:48Z ♥ 1
This is really, really nice. Love the style and puzzles. It is hard at times, but the kind that makes me wanna keep trying, so pretty much exactly right.

Really cool, good looking game. Suffice it to say, I did not manage to beat in 3 minutes ;)

Lovely idea, looks great and lots of fun to play. Cool stuff!

Now that was a bit of a mind fuck... Very interesting challenge having to navigate both at once. Great use of the theme!
Lobotomy and You by rodobodolfo 2018-04-25T00:32:19Z ♥ 2
Great combination and idea! I got a bit lost toward the end on what to do, perhaps marking tasks as completed would help with what's left to do? Also something about the movement feels slightly off, but otherwise, great entry!
YOU LEFT ME. by Angela He 2018-04-25T00:14:21Z ♥ 1
Gorgeous as always. I'm gonna play it again a few more times to see all the endings, but so far I really love it. Your style's perfect for dreamscapes. The other games of yours I've played all had that dreamy quality, so this seems like just the logical next step. Very well done. Very you, also.
In terms of complaints, I only have two minor ones, namely that while the character can't read the notes on the fridge, they're plainly visible to me, which is kind of odd and might benefit from a blur or something to align what we see with what the character sees, and while the first room had a bunch of interactions, they seemed to get less as the game progressed. I did get to the end fairly quickly though, because I got the location I needed to go to from the note. Still, the train felt a little empty compared to the previous room, so maybe it was just missing one or two more things to look at.
But anyway, great work, I really enjoyed this.

Wow. That is amazing. Such a good idea, trippy visuals and nice music, I'm beyond jealous.
Typer Boost by petitpois 2018-04-24T23:06:04Z ♥ 1
Very nice! I find it weirdly difficult to brace myself and wait to execute the jump with the final letter, but it's fun :D
Piloteer by Evil Brain 2018-04-24T22:35:17Z ♥ 1
Wow, that is actually a great combination. Fascinating how a change from real-time to planning ahead makes such a massive difference, I love it! Might be my favorite approach to the theme so far.

God does play cards! by kjeks 2018-04-24T18:47:18Z ♥ 1
Cool idea, but could use with some balancing. I positioned a bunch of towers around the start and haven't seen an enemy in minutes ;)
Crazy Pizza by Lucien Catonnet 2018-04-24T17:50:28Z ♥ 1
I couldn't quite figure out the right recipe, but it's a cool idea! Only suggestion I would have is to change the car model to a harvesting machine, that I think would tie the whole thing together a bit more than a sports car does.

Dance battles between the leaders, that's how wars should be fought :D
Age of Spires IV (Text/Console + RTS) by David Greene 2018-04-24T15:49:33Z ♥ 1
There's something really nice about this. Maybe it's the style, but it made want to try and figure it out even when I had problems running it :) (There's an issue when you quit the game, the window closes but the process is still active, blocking the server and crashing any new instance of the game you start. Played on Windows 7)
