Some parts really gave me the creeps, which is very good for the mood in this one. At the end, I don't know if it was my gpu glitching away but I got a bit of a seizure-inducing triangle storm :P I'm not sure I played it 100% either. Really nice work!
Astounding graphics and music! Really good work!
This is gold! Very good work!
Very nice! Simple but tricky
Really nice graphics! I picked up a carrot but didn't know what to do with it and when I reached the "we need to talk" part I thought I did something wrong :O
It's really hard sometimes with so many enemies, so little health and that recharge time... But it's really satisfying when you get it right. I like the feeling of impact when you hit something. Nice!
Very good idea! It is really difficult to get past day 2. Cute graphics!
I became Moleactus, eater of worlds... And it was fun! Haha! nice ending!
It lags a bit sometimes with all the death and destruction and stuff, but it's fun!! :P
Got it! Nice graphics and music! The only thing I think needs tweaking is the area around the worm where it eats you when it shows up. Sometimes it ate me when I was clearly not there. Other than that, good game!
I like my point & click adventures silly fun, and that ending was just that ;) Needs some pathfinding though and those walls are sticky as hell.
Love the details, like the recoil and shell casings. The camera movement it's too quick sometimes
Nice concept! I like the art style.
Mysterious game! And nice music, I like it!
Got to see the ending. Nice twist! But that boss was really really frustrating. The art is awesome too.
Fun with friends! I'd love to see it with some AI too
Interesting concept, great humor and the music was good too! The transitions are nice at first but after a while feel quite cumbersome
Nice art and moody music. I tried to rig the races by betting on the best fed bug but didn't really work :P
Great work! I think I'm going to give this my "most satisfying mechanic" award. I just wanted to go back to the thank you screen and keep drilling!
Nice and addictive little game! The flashing effect is a bit epileptic though :P
I found a bug that allowed me to go... beneath the surfaces... *Inception sound* ;)
Nice atmosphere. Just clicking around feels satisfying ;)
At first I thought I would be seeing disturbing pictures of someone cutting his arm. I ended up in another dimension though :P
Deep ;)
I'm getting some Defender vibes, which is good because I loved that game. Loving that parallax, nice game!
I don't know why but I really like this! It's amazingly strange
Nice art and music, but those collisions are a bit annoying
Can't run it either :( Screenshots looked promosing though
Really nicely done! The theme is completely off the rails though :P
I don't know if it's just me, but I found graphics a bit dark, it took me a while to realize I could shoot because the bullets were a bit hard to see.
Amazing game! That ball is a little heavy though :P
This is brilliant!
Nice puzzle game, I'm a bit rubbish at it but I liked it ;)
Really nice gameplay there! I really like the camera work too. The lack of sound is such a pity. I got a bug were I died and still was able to keep playing as a floating explosion? ;)
Interesting use of light. Quite moody. I like it!
Nice! Really addictive!
Really nice art! Controls are a little unresponsive sometimes though, but overall it's very good!
Clever mechanics! It took me a lot to figure out the second level, but it was really satisfying to get it right. Good work!
It's always the butler :D Good fun! And lovely music!
Nice effects!
I really like the art style in this. Nice!
Excellent game! The boss fight was a bit difficult for me though
Intriguing story. Nice work!
Lovely music! And overall good game.
There is some weird translations to spanish in the title screen though. Where in english reads "drill bunny" to me it shows "conejito de perforación" which sounds really weird, like google translated :P A better translation would be "conejito perforador" or in case the meaning was imperative it'd be "perfora conejito" like in drill bunny, drill.
Also instead of "press space" I get "presione inicio" which is even weirder because that's a different key altogether (inicio means start) and had me pressing random keys for a bit to find which one was I supposed to press. There it should say "pulsa espacio" ;)
Nice! I like the little details like being able to mess it up breaking the bones :D
Great art and audio! Feels like a really solid and complete game. Amazing work indeed. The order you get the rings affects difficulty though. In my first try I left the top right one for last and couldn't event save the altar. The following attempt I reversed the order and breezed through the enemies dashing like crazy :P
That was creepy. The fact that this was made by an artificial being is simply astonishing and makes it even creepier. Lots of mood in this one.
Nice music. I think this needs a *chomp* sound badly :D
I like the idea of the pencil graphics, but the gameplay is very unforgiving
Good work! I like the walking animation a lot, and the music is cool too.
This is just amazing
Really nice music, sets the mood lovely.
That was hilarious! Great work!
I managed to last more if I didn't touch the keyboard, just using the mouse :P It's hard but fun!
I really liked the style, but there must be a problem with the fonts because the text looks different from the screenshots, almost illegible.
I think I won, not sure how, but that blue fella seemed grateful :P That voice...
Nicely done. Quite entertaining
Once you get the hang of it it's quite entertaining. Well done!
It's amazing that you can make someone feel uneasy for "winning" a game, with just text!
I really liked the way people reacted to pushing ;) And hats!
For a first game it's a nice effort. You should rethink the controls to be a little more friendly though.
Nice graphics. The green blobs are a bit difficult to avoid though
Nice art! I liked how you represented being overwhelmed by thoughts. As for the game itself, I found it difficult to read her emotions. Her lines were a bit random. It's hard to simulate emotions with a few lines of text but maybe there could be a way to identify whether she's feeling uncomfortable or she doesn't mind some friendly chat
Nice and entertaining, there is a bug where willy stops using ladders and sometimes he'd fall through a bridge but otherwise great effort!
A game for quake 3 and portal fans! :P
I got a bit stuck on the part where you had to jump backwards in a long and narrow corridor with black walls. But after that it started getting more interesting. I got to the part after getting the laser, when you have to make a huge jump using both weapons. I made it to the other side, but unfortunately I fell through the ground there somehow.
Nice work!
Nice! I love that you can jump out of the water and eat the birds ;)
It really needs some kind of clue, or maybe a way to get more birds to send to their death ;)
Nice and silly fun! Good work!
Wow! thank you all. I didn't expect such a good reception. It's very hard to test the difficulty with so little time. To me it's super easy now, but obviously I made it. For those of you that didn't catch the thief, pay attention to the sounds and movement! When someone realizes he's been robbed it means the thief was around there. The timer is just there as a score...
@MonsieurS Yeah I think sometimes the rng gods can conspire a bit to make a really slow moving thief with a really slow steal rate. I definitely need to tweak the ranges. Good observation!
@joe40001 Ouch! Yeah mechanical spoilers ahoy! :P That's definitely one trick I must prevent in a future more complete, polished version.
@joe40001 Hey don't worry about it, after all it's a game made in 2 days, it can't be perfect ;)
When I made it I worried about someone finding a trick like that too soon because I had so little time to tune the difficulty, but so far people didn't seem to notice.
Anyway, as I said that's one of the things I will fix in a future more complete release.
Thank you for playing!
PD: You must have some kind of developer vision superpower to catch that in the first 10 seconds. I'm impressed! ;)
Haha! Quite funny!
Nice graphics! Needs some adjustments to the difficulty (too easy) and path finding, but other than that feels quite solid!
Nice and simple, quite entertaining!
Really good! Nice to see something fresh. Ahhh but this is the game that really needs that npc dialog line... Must've been rats!
Nice terrain deformation mechanic. Feels good!
Cool concept. Love how you can trap yourself within a block :P
Absolutely fantastic! I managed to get Dave to live 74 years and 301 days. After some upgrading in level 2 there were so many things on screen that it was a bit difficult to see :P Other than that it was awesome!
What a blast! So many things to like about this. Hotline Miami with butts? Yes please. But it's much more! The music, the animations, the fact that you can kill yourself with your own bullets, or that you can skip a level without killing anybody dodging Bullet-time like crazy? Oh my god give it to me now.
I see your point, analog dodging is more precise. Let me suggest then another way. You could bind another key, like space, to dodge in the direction you are walking and you could still use the mouse to dodge analogically in the direction of the mouse. Why choose only one method when you can have both! ;)
Nice!. Bonus points for having that whole nooooooooooo-fail-at-the-very-end-of-the-level factor
Interesting concept. Good job
Nice music! Good job!
Nice and simple! I'm loving that shovel sound :D
Wow that was hard! It took me a while to figure out what was I suppose to do, but when I got it was quite fun!
Fantastic game!
Nice idea! Very funny!
What a great experiment. Amazing!
This is by far the best throwing-your-own-poop-at-people simulator I've ever played.
It's a fun game! It'd be great if it was a wrap around universe.
Nice! Is it just me or does everybody has the same compulsive reaction and try to rearrange the people in the last scene? :P
Cool! I like the fact that you also connected the worlds where the ships were inspired from :D
Nice art and mechanics. Stealth in the sky! But, is it just me or it has no sound? :( It needs audio badly! Then it'd be fantastic :D
I really like those soothing sounds. Nice clean design and the mechanics are entertaining.
I like that there's some kind of verticality and the minimap can trick you :P
This is great! My party went hilariously disastrous. Quite realistic if you ask me :P
Nice little parody of the social networks, sadly quite realistic. Nice touch linking to the real world via twitter. I'm Morgan Freeman.
Sorry, I think I killed some friendly gnomes :P It's a nice idea. The controls are a little frustrating and there must be a problem with the font because I could barely read any of that text.
Simple concept, flawless execution, super fine quality design. What's more to say... Amazing work!
Nice music and style in general. Some of the levels, like the invisible cube I just got past them by sheer luck. It's really hard!
I love the super-caffeinated-action feel of it and how the little guys thank me for shooting them into freedom. 109! I'm rubbish!
Amazing concept and presentation. I want to play more!
Loving the dialogs. The first enemy in the cold world killed and having to restart was a bit of a bummer. Other than that it's cool.
Galaxy Cat Galaxy Cat Galaxy Cat Galaxy Caaaaat! Also, lovely art, music and humor!
Beautiful art and a story so sweet it can make you puke rainbows (just kidding :P) The music gave me some "To the Moon" vibes which is good too. My main problem with it came when it turned into more of a game, more specifically the controls, which felt unresponsive sometimes and combining that with having to restart the level was a bit of a bummer. Also, in the intro level where you learn to move crates, I took advantage of a bug in the physics that let's you stick to the walls, because the crate I was supposed to jump from I dropped it into a pit accidentally :S But, in any case, you did a lot of good work!
Nice graphics! A bit too easy maybe.
At first I thought it was the camera that changed, because the areas are too similar, then I got it :P Also I really like the concept of the mailbox as a teleporting device :D
This is a very beautiful entry. The art, audio and animations are superb. Shame about the length of it. I think this could be the intro of a very cool game that I hope you finish some day.
This was amazing!
It took me a while to figure out what was going on but I finally did :) Nice! Kind of a minimalistic Papers Please! in a robot world. I'm rubbish at it though :P
I burned like tasty tasty bacon :P
Fantastic concept, nice graphics and music. Great work!
Cute little game. I am tolerated!
Damn, that was good! :D Great art and music, super moody and that thunder made me jump from my chair. The controls where a bit strange though. Fantastic work!
Very very hard game! But neat nontheless. You did a very good job!
Beautiful and relaxing. I tried the multiplayer mode but I didn't notice any other player, probably there wasn't many people playing at the same time... I'll try again later cos I want to know what that last line does! :D
Nice light system! I got a bug in a level where I flipped a switch in the dark world and after sending me back to the light world I got stuck always going left as if the key was hold down :/
While the items functions are alright and clear, it is indeed a perplexing place. Why are there so many anvils, scissors and flutes lying around? :P
The art style is cool, and the twist is interesting. Needs music badly!
Nice art stlye! It's a bit weird trying it one person alone. A single player mode with some A.I. would be awesome.
Very nice entry! I like the graphics, the variety of enemies, and what you did with the controls. It reminded me of an old pc game called "Silver" I don't know if you played it, but it also had swing based controls. Even the shape of the sword reminded me of it :P
Really nice entry! Graphics are so cute and it's super polished for a first time. At first I thought instead of diamonds those were toast, now I want some toast... :P
I like the sense of scale it has. Nice work!
Thank you Jupiter! :D
Thank you people for all those positive comments!
@Dohan, @ryguydavis, yes, in it's current state it's mainly infinite fighting unless you are very unlucky and die... I wanted to add some kind of objective but didn't have enough time. Also in my mind was adding a multiplayer component in the style of dark souls, were you could invade others' games. But that was way too big for me to do in a weekend :P
Thanks!
@homeworld you can actually resurrect in two different ways, one through the portal and the other, harder, by taking the life of another hero ;)
@Sunflower Yeah variety is pretty scarce I'm afraid. I'd love to evolve it into something bigger and more complex
@juaxix If I ever add multiplayer, which I'd love to, I imagine it being in the style of DarkSouls. Wishful thinking? I don't know! :P
@jjhaggar Yep, it's kind of endless until you get killed as a skeleton, then you get the stats of what you endured...
After reading all your comments, I think the game definitely needs something more to make it interesting. Otherwise you get bored soon :P
Thank you all for the feedback!
I think I'm too rubbish at it to be able to fully enjoy it. But it's a nice entry!
I don't think my world will be the same after this :D
Nice graphics and mechanics. I love the way you did the wall-jump. It's fun to make your way among your previous selves, but it's a bit frustrating when you collide near the starting zone.
That was funny. I got almost completely teleported, except for one hand, but who needs that? Nice work!
Nice graphics, nice music and nice mechanics! But frustrating difficulty. I like the Castlevania vibes.
Really like the art. Touching story :)
I'm so rubbish at tower defense games. Having said that, I think yours is well made and the shooter part kept me going for a bit. Nice work.
Beautifully made! I really like how it goes from cuteness overload to bloody eyes-out-of-sockets creepy and intriguing story. Just two notes: one, while I quite like the player input riddle it'd be nicer if it supported some synonyms or detected the answer in a sentence. (Don't know if that can be done with RenPy, sorry :P) And second, near the end, where you are told you have to hurry and then a ticking sound starts, I tried to quickly check every icon in the scene and ended up repeating a puzzle I already had solved before (the pendant one) But with the ticking sound in the background it was a bit stressful, I thought, maybe it had some kind of timer and I was botching the ending... Luckily I wasn't, right? Right? :P
Lovely art in this one! Nice game. I failed at every contract though >.<
Nice take on the rhythm genre :)
What's this feeling inside me? Is it a noodle feeling? So nutritive!
Great work! It's quite a complex game for so little time. And It's so relaxing. Sadly, I ended up warping into outer space and wasted all my fuel not being able to ever come back :_
Good story! I like the little details like if you play it through different paths using different names each time, some texts that placed your name in a previous playthrough, later appear as "redacted" making you feel more part of the story.
Love the music. At first it's very difficult to grow due to the speed and it's difficult to find the smaller balls with the narrow fov. But when you get it right it feels nice! Katamary in orbit? :P I managed to absorb everything until it was only me and the center planet left. Is it possible to grow bigger than it?
I love the metaphor in this. Nice puzzle concept. The last level was soo hard.
This is amazing
Got 600+ million likes but pizza without cheese is still not pizza :P
Damn those killer pigs! Is it intentional all the other dodos being killed so quick?
Nice idea but the slippery controls make it a bit frustrating. For instance in level 5 you die an awful lot just by going off the edge of the screen. I think maybe if instead of dying you appeared at the other side, like in a wrapped world, it would make room for some interesting puzzles.
Nice idea but super hard sometimes.
Fun game with lots of potential. The graphics and audio are great. It's so hard though.
Lovely music and graphics. So unfair but so addictive!
At first I thought the accuracy was bugged then I discovered it could be upgraded. That's a nice touch. I tried to get to the good ending (at least I thought so) but it's hard!
Interesting concept, but gravity is way too low, and performance is an issue
Nice entry. I like the music, and the nightmare world is so creepy. The interface needs a bit of work. The inventory's close button was a bit hard to see at first, for example.
Needs more audio badly! Other than that it's nice
Good puzzle game! I thought there was a timer when the music started speeding up :P
Nice work!
Noooooooooooooooooo I got "connection lost" when it was only 9 points left! whyyyyyyyy! :P Nice take on the theme!
Nice concept! Some of the jumps in the later levels where real hard. Too bad about that potato salad :P
This is amazing, seriously. I haven't reached any good ending, yet. And I say yet because it's made me go back and try again a handful of times already. And I'll probably go back again for that extended post-compo version. I just want to solve that damn mystery! :D
Now, the sticky business: I had it crash to desktop starting a day that I was sending Nikram to interrogate. And there was a confusing bug where in some conversation the dialogs where switched, I think it was between Graham and Franklin?
Anyway, you guys are good! Makes me kinda feel bad when I think most of the things I come up with are basically just silly games :P
Keep up the good work!
Frenetic! I wonder where does he keep all that kitchenware :P
I like the musicality of it, it's strangely relaxing. Nice work.
This is probably the most innovative entry I've seen so far. Amazing job!
I built three carriers. There is no enemy now. Only space dust. Good.
So cute! Yet the ending was so sad. I wanted everyone to be on the raft :_( Nice work!
I made it to the credits! Which by the way are presented in a very cool way :D
I love the little details. Fantastic work!
This is such a cool concept! Innovation all the way :D
Nice little platformer, and really clever way to use the theme. At the end I was hoping I'd be moving individual pixels :P
Great work for just 8 hours!
Oh my god it's spinning and spinning and spinning... I reached 877 and at some point I started thinking my snowman might jump into orbit :P
Nice! But it's hard as nails :P
Thank you miguelmurca, you are too kind!
Thank you Snout, yeah, sometimes it can get overwhelmingly *realistic* :P
Thanks everyone! I'm glad you are having fun with it. And I'm sorry for the injuries that may have caused :P
@Ludipe, thanks for the hint! I just edited the description to add a little more info on that.
@Rodaja, seems Ludipe was right and it was not clear enough in the instructions. You can click on the coffee and phone (and scroll & click in it) to get some boost. It was a bit of an oversight for my part not making that clear enough. Sorry :/
@LTyrosine I totally wanted to include day/night cycle, sleep and even food! But alas, not enough time :P I even had in mind being able to post updates of the game that'd help get more motivational replies, and on the other end, more spammy messages with pictures of cats.
Eventually I had to settle on something simpler to be able to finish it.
I'm actually a little surprised with all the positive reception. It's nice to see you are having fun!
Thank you people!
@Virtually Competent: there is some kind of strategy, although chance and mashing like crazy can get you over it easily. Bugs have a chance to appear each time you make progress, but there are some limits. For instance, the first half of the progress is easier, if you reach the bug limit, there won't appear more until you fix those and then it'll give you some motivation and breathing room for that.
Coffee will make you progress faster, but that implies bugs will appear quicker. Also, using coffee too quickly many times will generate tolerance to it reducing it's boost. (you can know if you are having too much coffee if the screen starts to tremble :P)
That music is fantastic!
Interesting concept. Funny but sad. The addiction that has him climbing over the furniture gives him a "twisted" view of the world. Metaphor! :P
Nice tower defense game. I'm really bad at it though D: But well, I'm usually bad at tower defense games so, it's ok! :D
Very atmospheric and the mechanic makes it even more creepy. Which is good :D Nice work!
Wow! Our games took a very similar angle on the theme. Yours is hilarious! :D Nice work!
Beautiful music and visuals. The mood is among the best. Brilliant work for a first time!
I finished it! OH MY GOD MY EYES!! After 358 deaths I picked the leaf? And actually thought my eyes were really failing me. It took me 510 deaths to finish. Nice!
I'm loving this. Great work!
The terrain dynamic is really cool. Too bad it hurts performance so much.
Simple but effective. I'd up the speed a little and give it a proper way to restart after messing up. I got stuck in a level after misplacing a piece. One of the clients got the sushi and after pressing the play button again there was some extra sushi messing things up :O
I like the part when the game is tripping balls so hard that it implodes into oblivion
I was about to praise you for how good you replicated the feel of Papers Please and then I realized it's you who made it! I guess it's just your style then :P Nice take on the theme!
The controls are a bit awkward and at the end if you press play again you are left alone in the level with nothing to do. But damn! Those bunnies are some cute lovin' bastards!
Nicely done! I love how as you approach the victim it gets more intense.
Nice work on the art style and depth sense. The only problem I had was that passing under some powerups without getting them was a bit frustrating.
It's hard and it's fun and it has lots of squishy effects and squishy effects are awesome.
I particularly like how the vagueness of some information can make you feel more like a monster even if you were trying to help people! Like when it says the boat is full, but there's some desperate injured people waiting to board and it let's you add them onboard. Just to be violently killed as the ship sinks during a storm. Nice work!
I'm sorry for the general brokenness of the gameplay. We mismanaged our time very badly and the game was barely tested by the end. I'm going to try to make a less broken post-jam version within this week.
@LastLeaf: I have one friend that had a similar problem. It turned out he had a steering wheel and pedals connected, and the game was registering the unpressed pedals as the horizontal axis all the way to the left.
Thank you all for the feedback! We really appreciate it :D
The thing about the map and feeling lost it's because we thought it'd be cool to make a game that made you feel the need to draw a map of your own, like a labyrinth. In the original jam version we made the map too big and it ended up being so frustrating because the reusing of the scenes. In the post jam version, it's almost haf the size and still repeats scenes, but at least you can orientate yourself better by noticing the placement of the hunters. In any case it was nice to experiment with it :)
@Tanton-H2X Yeah the parallax is a bit off sometimes, I think is because in some scenes the is some vegetation being drawn in the wrong layer. And maybe in the mostly vertical scenes the foreground is not really designed properly for it.
Thank you Jupi! Glad you liked it :D
I find this incredibly addictive. Silly but fun. I love the fact that you can keep killing them after you are dead and even advance to the next level if you land on the door. Like a way to redeem yourself by luck. I don't know if it was intended though :P Nice work for a first time!
This is so cool! One question. Did you place the wipers' switch so close to the ignition on purpose to enphasize the panic sensation? Or was it a happy accident? :P
Nice concept, very well done. The music was nice too. The mouse camera was a bit floaty and the hero sometimes took some strange pathways but anyway, Mornax is safe!
I felt like a colossal idiot when I finally figured out after innumerable tries in the second level that you could just jump backwards to get more space! Hard little puzzle game. Well done!
That's some pretty graphics there. Nice music too! I managed to run a distance of 470 and got a score of 570. I Guess I'm a pie master! :P
A flappy monster with a twist! The light dynamic is nice. I'm rubbish at it though, my best seems to be just 38 :(
