Very nice game!
Liked the style and humor - couldn't really finish it, catching that bunny is hard, and jumping over the spikes is impossible.
Nice work!

Very nice game!

Nice work!
Fun game! clever game mechanics, highly addicting and challenging. Cool!
Wish there were some better graphics and audio though...
Loved it, fun and simple gameplay! got 100 points.. :-)
Fun game! I love how the enemies swarm right at you, and I love the sound effects!
good job!
Controls are indeed a bit iffy, but it's fun nonetheless...
that was kind of odd gameplay. Nice graphic style, though!
Thanks for the comments!
Sparky: The camera velocity is indeed proportional to the distance from the ship, I think it does give nice and smooth results. You can of course look at the code, it's in the GameWorld class... About your feedback, I agree with all of it, but in 48h you have to get your priorities right... :-)
KilledByAPixel: I agree, I should have thought of it myself... Maybe for HOME v2.0 :-)
Thanks again!
Very cool game, clever use of the theme, and also fun to play! Wish the graphics were a bit better though... very impressive for such a short contest, and cool gameplay.
Nice work, very hard to play and get what is going on...
that was fun! awesome music.
Nice idea, simple but effective graphics!
Gameplay was kind of choppy and erratic here, making it quite hard to win...
cool game! nice and sleek. controls were kind of weird, it was hard to tell which direction you are facing..
Error compiling shader... would be happy if you fix it, looks awesome!
Wow, that is just awesome.
Great idea, great use of the theme, impressive implementation.
Everything, but the music, is awesome. :)
That was fun!
Nice game, nice use of the theme, nice graphics and annoying music. :-) Liked it very much.
got 5648 points, wave #21 or something :-)
Nice! gameplay was a bit repetitive, but nicely done!
Feedback given for your actions in the game would help - what happens when we collect bones? meet dinosaurs? something?
Great work man! I LOVE the audio, so weird, in a wonderful way! Well made, although I wish gameplay was a bit more concise... GO GO!
Thanks for the comments - as for the MAJOR problem, I'll try to fix it soon. :-) Thanks!
I probably forgot to mention - the caves of darkness takes place in er... the year 1342 AD, nothing interesting happened then, so it fits well with the game. :)
Now seriously - I think you can play the game rather quickly if you use your flares wisely, and also - you have unlimited life, so dying now and then should be alright!
Anyhow, thanks for the comments!
Thanks! :-)
fun fun fun!
Couldn't get it running, windows 7 x64.
WOW. just wow. Played it through, really really nice, great atmosphere and detail.
Just noticed I only saw one ending, well, I might give it another go, but it is rather time consuming... :)
fun game!
Fun!
Very nice!
woah. not sure what was that - but it was kinda cool. not much of a game though, more like interactive art. :)
Thanks everyone for the comments!
I agree the game play needs plenty of work - it is a bit buggy and unstable... I still haven't got that part right in my games.
Glad you liked it in any case! :)
nice!
Thanks everyone for the comments! You all have great ideas - I think I might actually make into a complete game at some point! :-)
@kavs: I agree - it's not much of an escape game... but it's a game! :) There's no way to undo a node, but it is a good idea...
@Rudy: I was totally planning to add more enemies and death things, no time... :(
Thanks again!
Thanks @Andrew! I definitely have some ideas in that direction - hope to make something out of it.
@James Paige - I agree with you that the interface is rather confusing, I would have made it better if I had more time (I didn't realize that until after the competition). And yes, I wanted more levels (and more enemies!), but again, time.
Thanks!
Thanks everyone for the comments! @DrPetter - you can, actually, create another path after you started (And stopped) following the path, but each time you do, it costs an extra node - so not all levels can be done part by part... Thanks!
Nice! couldn't win, even with the spoiler... :-)
Nice graphics, all in all - gameplay was a bit too simple... but fun.
Fun game! sound was annoying, and graphics very simple, but the mechanism was great and pretty challenging! way to go!
Cute! pretty short though :)
Fun game! mechanics were a bit repetitive after a few levels, but fun all in all and stylish! way to go.
funny :)
Fun fame, harder than it looks! music was a tad annoying, but I found the use of the theme good and the level design nice!
Fun game, all in all! I must say it was pretty damn hard and very tricky, but the theme was kinda off. Great job!
What a peculiar game! nice!
Nice - Gameplay was a bit tedious, but I liked the overall setting. there was not too much TINY WORLD in it though... good job! :)
That was great - fun game play, clever mechanics and pleasant graphics and audio! so many levels as well! awesome.
Good use of the theme! but not much gameplay.. :(
Very nice graphics - somewhat akward gameplay, but cool!
Download link is broken :(
Good work man! Very good with the theme, and the atmosphere really works - maybe because you named the shark, it gives a sort of detective feel to the game. Controls are quite iffy, though, and gameplay is quite limited, but way to go!
Thanks! Try again - it's hard but you can catch the little fella :)
Thanks for all the comments! @eli - it's the same level just randomly generated each time. @Arkazon - the fly flying away is not really a bug, the rationale was that if you are not quick enough to catch it, you die :( but I agree, it's kind of frustrating sometimes. @robocozzens - though I think the code is portable to OSX, I have no idea how to compile stuff there (but it's about time I learn).
Thanks again everyone!
Thanks again for the comments everybody! :) Unfortunately, I can't make an OS X version since the version of ClanLib I used is not compatible with it... :( As for a web version, this would be quite hard as this is in C++. Sorry :( I am assuming this would run well on a virtual windows machine if you have it.
@Spiridios - Thanks! I thought about adding momentum, but I think it may have made the game a bit easier than it should be :). About changing the perspective - that was my original intent (see my only post about the making process), but I decided not to do it after all (though it would have been easy to do..)
That was very nice! great gameplay (though VERY hard), excellent audio and slick graphics. It didn't really feel TINY WORLD to me though... anyway, Thumbs up!
That was great and fun! good controls and great graphics/audio. It was quite easy, as you can't really die... but fun nontheless. :)
Kind of weird controls, and I must say I did not get the game play - was not sure what I was supposed to do, or what was the goal.. :( Nice look, and audio was quite good - reminds me of one my older LD games (HOME).
Very nice! the sounds were a bit annoying, but the music was cool. gameplay was fun, though a bit weird and buggy.
What did you make this with? it has a very nice smooth feeling.
I couldn't play because of some encoding issues - it's look for a file named räg.png, but because of Hebrew encoding on my computer it turns out to be something else - can you compile in unicode, or something? or name the files with simple ASCII characters? Thanks!
didn't work - Windows 7 on Chrome. :(
