Nice! UI was broken until I fullscreened it (instructions/hints were well outside of the game window), but awesome idea for a jam game!
Worked well after that :)

Nice! UI was broken until I fullscreened it (instructions/hints were well outside of the game window), but awesome idea for a jam game!
Worked well after that :)
Haha, I love this! Great idea, well executed, nice balance of difficulty, and the pasta when you get grated was hilarious, really nice job!
Really nice game I like the idea, and it's well polished, cute, artstyle, audio, feel of the game all fit together really well
Player control feels good, but a bit extreme!
However, I felt that the levels got way too hard to fast! That, combined with the game restarting from the beginning made it a bit frustrating to play :( The saws moved very quickly without much warning, and were a bit hard to predict - that combined with them being in an area where you don't have much room to move around when they're first introduced made it pretty hard, whereas the swinging things in the level after felt much better! They were nice and predictable and worked really well!
I might've preferred having throw/jump on the same key? Ended up pressing the one wrong a bunch, but also I might've ended up throwing it when I wanted to jump otherwise, so not sure! I kept pressing the wrong key a bunch tho!
A bit more health would've been nice, and I frequently got stuck with either me / the egg endlessly bouncing around when hit!
Despite that, really good work! A few minor tweaks to the level design / difficulty would go a long way in making this a 5/5 entry!
"oh my god, a talking fire!"
bahahaha i loved this! really enjoyable, jumping felt good, dancing part was brilliant, nice!
The camera moving over to the goal & hinting the path was a really nice touch!
Got a laugh out of this! Glitches really threw me off sometimes, especially when it was on something capitalized, but it made it a good twist! really enjoyed it
Love it! super fun, super cute, looks great, plays great, well rounded difficulty, nice job!
Love the idea! Found the camera movement a little bit sickening, and struggled to find where things were / where to take people sometimes, but being able to just carry people around was a laugh π
Intresting idea! Was fun, I found it a bit too easy though! Not sure if the tax collector actually took any money, and I'm unsure if I just got lucky but I drank a whole bunch of potions and didn't really seem to have many bad effects, then spammed searching for herbs and made a huge pile of about 3 different potions to sell
Absolutely loved this! Wasn't immediately obvious what the 3 categories were so it took 3 attempts before I finished it, but it was great! β€οΈ
Absolutely LOVED the mood in this, little grooble was adorable!
Only minor complaint was the lack of (unless I missed it) full screen button on the web player! which was really not a big issue, I ended up zooming the webpage in :)
I love the idea! Very similar to the game I submitted, except I went for realtime rather than turn-based, turn based makes way more sense imo. I made the same mistake as others have mentioned of selecting a character, then an action then selecting another character without submitting it, which was an issue :(
Amazing use of the theme! Loved the rocket arms too :D
Not sure why - I just get an error saying my browser doesn't support webgl? Using latest chrome, and other unity-webgl games seemed to work fine. Bizarre.
This is shockingly polished consider the time period! Nice work!
Worked fine on Chrome here, but yeah, webgl can be a bit random...
First off, I like it! The idea seems cool and it seems like you got a bunch of stuff in! Most of my issues are farily minor, I didn't have enough time to read the text at the start before it faded out, a few times my input walking in a direction got stuck on (probably a webgl issues tho), and attacking felt a like it could do with some more... impact?
But solid effort! :D nice work
Nice work! Love the art & mood
Would've been nice if the lighting worked a bit more '3d' rather than an overlay, i.e. if the players feet are in the light, don't have the head be 'behind' the shadow
Took me a second try to work out how the suck/blow combat worked, but pretty cool idea! Seemed a tad buggy though, couldn't kill stuff with blow sometimes?
I think I won? Not sure!
Good effort, congrats on getting something done!
Clicker game would've been fun with some more buttons imo, and the patience game... well, I actually assumed there was some trick to it, turns out it is just patience!
Good work!
Loving the art on this one! <3
Nice game! Idea seems great, nice use of theme! I struggled a bit with the controls though - couldn't quite get things to aim how I wanted! maybe there's a trick to it I'm missing?
Love it! Awesome arcade feel! The polish is great
Loved it, gravestones were a nice touch!
Atmosphere/Mood was perfect! Game was a tad hard though, so many times I died just on the edge of a bonfire!
This was amazing. :D Could you open the map though?
got pizza, game was good
Good job! Pretty fun, took a while to get used to the attacking, but it makes it a nice challenge!
Only managed to get 9 chests though ;_;
Nice game, would've been really nice to have an option ingame to adjust the mouse sensitivity though :(
Pretty funny :p I tried dive instead of jump and got confused for a bit :D
Awesome! Really loved this one! Played it a few times to try and finish as fast as possible - Finished it with 4.2 seconds left, threw the device in, but got
(spoilers) http://i.imgur.com/OPUolDE.png
Is that really the good end? :< Kinda lame :p
Points don't reset after restarting the game! Scrolling text was a little bit annoying
Other than that, not bad! I like the idea :) Could've done with a 'dont kill' button aswell!
Nice game! Player movement was way too 'floaty' and getting stuck on walls was a bit annoying imo, but other than that it's great :) Fun blasting myself around with rockets!
Fellow penguin-platformer! :D Simple, obvious game mechanics, that need very little explanation (Except that I didn't realize the other penguins were enemies at first!)
Good game :) Managed to score 23!
Tried playing this by myself.. it broke my brain :D Seems fun if I had friends though :(
This was absolutely amazing! Spent a while WTF'ing about what was going on until I realized it!
Loved the last level, such a simple goal, but so hard to pull off until you get your head around the mechanic :) And then it gets pretty easy!
Please, please, please develop this into a full game!
One thing that might of been nice is the ability to rotate whatever you're holding, although I got the hang of that later by the jumping around it and picking it up!
Nice game! The tie-in with the theme was pretty loose, but then again, pretty much every game was this time (I blame the theme :p)
Simple idea, nice execution! Pretty hard to play on a touchpad, the simplistic graphics were nice, but varied in style a bit, good job though! :D
pretty wacked but alright
the hook feature was pretty nice made a unique game
noiceeeeeee, feeels very very good
Could not place pots, great idea though.
Good gameeee loved it ^^
Pretty, loved the scoreboard
files on drop box have been deleted or moved.
Absolutely awesome! Controls let the game down a tiny bit, but it was great fun! Loved the art style, only complaint is having to start over when you lose a level, should restart the current level :)
Good work!
Great game but i broke it :P when draining you can just hold space and shot the remains racked up some nice points :P 616 jugle :D Really enjoy'd it good job!
Teleporting is good really nice game! Very nice mechanic!
Loved the way the acid mechanic worked, thought the puzzle/level design was great and the degree of polish is just completely admirable. If i was to have one negative its that i was quite frustrated with the slightly to slow speed in which the character falls. I felt that it made gameplay less satisfying and it was at times annoying, for example, when i wanted to jump off a falling platform, but the platform was moving faster than the player and my character was left falling above with nothing to jump off. Still a brilliantly made game.
Nice job! Took a simple idea and executed it well! I have no idea how you chose your timing for the button presses, but it seemed pretty much perfect, although it might've been nicer if you started it easier and gradually made it harder!
pretty coool
confusing graphics that affect the understanding of the game but pretty cool otherwise
Great game difficulty was a bit hard due to bouces but good
I enjoy'd it! played to the end! Good job! Day1 dlc?
Good for first game, aim a bit higher though.
Really good, nice everything overall and funny ^^
Ahaha, this was awesome fun, although I am terrible at whistling, so this was incredibly hard for me
Anyway, by the time I won, I was significantly better at whistling, so thanks I guess :D
If my housemates complain to me tomorrow about me shouting PCHEW at 6am, I blame you!
(Also, to anyone having any problems getting it to work when you have a working mic, try disabling any other sound recording devices in your audio settings then relauching it)
Awesome little game! Simple gameplay, but gets really complex quickly, movement is fluid, feels nice, and is fun! Awesome little puzzle game, good job!
Nice! I like the graphical style :) Very nice and clean! Gameplay was fun, although it got stale a bit quickly, or I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing! :p tutorial was added nicely, and wasn't annoying, unlike a lot of tutorials!
Not bad :) I like the concept, and the avoding the flashlight seemed like a cool idea, but it's hard to tell when you're hidden or not! Adding checkpoints would've been nice too, so you didnt have to go back to the start all the time :)
Seemed like a nice idea, story scrolled far too slowly to get through it though, so I ended up skipping it :p Seemed like a good concept, but it was kinda hard to play, blocks kept falling through the wall if I stood too close, and I could float up the walls just by holding jump and moving towards the wall
Download link worked fine here
This was cool, fun to play with :D However, I'm terrible at audio, and couldn't get it to sound too good :p It's quality as a 'game', and how well it fits to the theme is a stretch, but it was good fun, and interesting, so hell, I'm cool with it :D
Awesome! By the time I got to level 3 though, the game really lagged out, to the point where it was using 97% cpu, and was running at about 5fps :( Not sure why, maybe it's not disposing entities properly when they're offscreen / between levels? Was good fun though, although I was kinda confused at times, with chests appear out of nowhere o_O But it was good fun, nice idea, nice execution! :D
Really nice Mood & Style you have going on! Pity some of the killing.. things? Were completely unexpected, so when you fell on them, you didnt get time to react, just had to learn the levels, but good fun :) Controls were nice, but it might've been nice to have them feel a bit smoother instead of so sudden!
Managed to beat it, pity there was no ending scene or anything though! :(
This was pretty good fun! :D It took me a while to work out what exactly I was doing with the puzzle, but once I worked it out, it was good fun! Managed to finish it, pity it was so short, I'd love to play it with more levels and more components! :p Good job! Some music might've been nice, but good job on the sound effects, however it was that you made them? Pitch shifted voice or something? ^^
This was awesome! 5* for mood, it was so relaxing to play, good fun too :p I tried about 6 times, but still died, but itwas good fun >:] Would've been nice to have other planets attack you or something, give you a bit more to aim at with upgrading your planet, etc, but it was fun! Nice work!
Nice! First js game I've seen in this LD :)
Gameplay was a bit slow, having it faster would've been nice, and SFX would've really added a lot, but good job! It was fun!
Spamming the send monsters now button was a laugh! http://i.imgur.com/Bfx2Q.png
Delete pheromones button didn't seem to work for me btw :(
Nice little game! The random item bit was slightly annoying, at times I'd get a silly amount of spikes and nothing else!
I like the idea ^^ It was good fun, but I killed dave quite a few times D: *whistles* Nice work!
First off, awesome! I love the font you've used! The whole graphical style is really nice! Gameplay idea is good too, and pulled off quite well, except it has a few bugs :p
1. You can still control your dot after you've left the orbit. So, if you slow down enough, you can just float wherever you want to go by holding that direction for long enough!
2. The music... it was funny I guess :p Wasn't too bad, but it something a bit more mysterious / sciency sounding could've made the mood a lot better!
3. At the end.. if you keep pressing enter... you keep adding the gravity field! http://i.imgur.com/r8jL6.png I was the most beautiful of all the worlds!
Seriously though, it was pretty awesome! Good job!
Checkpoints would've made this a lot funner :) Having to go back to the start became to be a bit of a pain, I died quite a lot :p Nice game though! When you just spawn, you're invincible for a second ago... I used to it to jump on the spikes, because hey, I can >:]
Simple and easy to grasp
Some sound effects would've been really nice, just some quick ones using BFXR/SFXR would've been good :D
Very nice! The art style was unique, beautiful, and yet strange! It was pretty difficult, but I managed to finish it (Atleast, I think I finished it? I got to to the end of the stage where it wouldn't scroll anymore ,but there was no kind of end? :p)
Good fun, some sound effects might have made it a lot more immersive though!
Awesome! The UI was a little intimidating at first, would've probably be nicer to have the buttons that are at the side, pop up under the currently selected zone, but once I worked it out, it wasn't too bad! Fun little game, nice idea! The retro art style was nice too :D
Nice! Pretty simple, gets straight to gameplay!
I did shoot the rocket before the planet had even come on screen a few times by accident though, causing it to end straight away :p
Not bad :) Was too hard though, I got stuck a few levels in :p Reminded me of Sokoban, but nice twist! Too hard! D:
Awesome idea :) Pulled off well, art style is really nice, but it's bloody hard! :p Good game
Really awesome! Everything fitted together really well, crisp, beautiful pixel art, fun, simple gameplay!
Awesome work!
Wow, this was amazing! Graphics looked *really* good, darn your unity pro? :D Great fun, especially when you can actually tell how much money you have ;) It's hard, but awesome fun, good job!
Awesome game!
This was really good fun! Took me a while to work out what I was meant to be doing though :p Got really awesome when I found the horizontal cutter/digger thing :D
Only suggestion would be to make the movement a little more responsive, maybe just a constant velocity horizontally instead of the acceleration? Felt a little sluggish at times!
Great work! :D
Nice! That's the first time I've seen game of life turned into a strategy game! Graphics looks great, really nice consistant art style :)
Good fun, nice job :D
Started in fullscreen mode, which was a huge turnoff, but since it's already messed up everything, might aswell play it now :(
What... what is this?
This is weird :D
..I have no idea what i'm playing... the TV... everything is wierd.... the house.... I walked through the walls... into a room via the exit... and ended up outside?
....Whaaaat? The soda machine... makes clones of me? Which.. ... disappear?
Alright, I'm out. I have no idea what I just played :D
http://i.imgur.com/7EXyN.png
Awesome! Good idea, pulled off really well, easy to use! Would've been really nice to have a prebuild level with it, or an easy way to save/load levels from a textbased format that we could drop in the comments :p
Nice! But damn, that starts hard right off the bat! I wasn't much good at it, but it was fun, and hard XD
Good job!
Also, the text at the start looked pretty bad on my machine, really hard to read, not sure if that was a general issue or just something specific to me? And it took me a while to work out you had to press space to continue :D
Very nice! Love the idea, and the art :) It's good fun :)
Pity you can't move a foot again once it's back without tapping the other foot first though, but the controls aren't too bad once you get used to it :D Good job!
Looks good! That's one hell of a bottle :p
FYI, I wasn't able to pick up this orby thing: http://i.imgur.com/nHwvY.jpg (Ontop of the mushroom near the next of the bottle), jumping into it did nothing :) Nice work though!
Awesome! Ship controls nicely, good fun too! Might've been worth making it so you could hold the shoot button though, I could get a almost solid line of bullets out with my button mashing powers, although my wrist hurt after :)
Good game, too hard though! :D A Health bar might've been nice :p
Absoltely awesome! It was a bit easy though, and got repetitive :) Art looked great, and music was good too! What did you use to make the music?
Awesome! Brilliant concept, I love it! Controls are nice and tight, Audio could've used a bit of work, but I loved the feel of it :)
I managed to break the game by holding X and spamming up and down :p Camera zoomed right out and wouldn't come back in. Good work!
Nice :) Some more visible background-art might've been nice, but it was quite good fun :) Controlls worked well, although I couldn't get fast enough to get away from the big.. thing.
:D Good work!
Very nice :) Was a bit slow to move around, and I kept shooting at the big one in the sky I think, which you can't shoot at? :D Not sure, but it was fun :) Nice work on the art!

Sky Plummet by Kaabiikaze 2021-04-29T16:12:23Z ♥ 1
Great idea & well executed! The game is pretty challenging, I constantly got myself killed by trying to just go full zoom, the slow fall felt too slow & the fast fall too fast, but that's the challenge!
Eventually I settled on spamming the toggle a bit to try and get a speed between the two - but then it's hard to keep track of which state you're in! Might've been nice to have a cooldown to stop the toggle being spammed to much though!
The little jumping off animation at the start was really cute, and a nice touch of polish! Also hitting the gold blocks felt great!
Good job with the sound effects, music might not be your strongest point though π π
All in all, great entry!
shaftception by testudor 2021-04-29T15:58:08Z ♥ 3
Nice little game! Really good job, especially correctly scoping your game! There's a whole bunch of different mechanics that work nicely (the key sequence was a bit confusing at first though!)
Very minor complaint - the Restart & Respawn buttons are very similarly worded, and close together, and I clicked restart instead of respawn by accident more than once!
Would've liked to see more levels, but good job!
Scython by BinarySpark 2021-04-28T19:56:32Z ♥ 2
Realllly nice game!
Art - Looks great! Love the style, executed really well, fits in with the game great! Throwing on some anti-aliasing would've helped a bunch, especially at the low web player resolution, but I just fullscreened it to see it in all it's glory! Music - Sounded great, fitted the game really well, kept the excitement up! Gameplay - Started off a bit slow and seemed easy, but then it really ramped up and got hard! Managed to just win but it was getting close!
Really nice job, amazed you manage to make this feel nicely balanced within the jam time!
Penguin Paradise by LucaVazz 2021-04-28T11:29:35Z ♥ 3
Nice game! wow you got a lot done - love the voxel art!
The delays between tasks feel a bit _too_ long, with little to do in the downtime!
I had a few issues clicking on buildings - not quite sure what was going on, when I had a couple placed right next to each other of the same type, it'd often select the one I wasn't clicking, and sometimes clicking on buildings seemed to do nothing at all?
Made playing a bit of a problem since I'd set one thing to collect food, then set the other to build the bamboo, I'd leave it for a bit and then realize now I had no food and most my penguins were dead because I'd accidently selected the same one twice π’
Mystical Island by azakharov 2021-04-27T14:53:11Z ♥ 1
Nice idea! Game was a bit harsh though, fell down a hole or something and died immediately!
Wasn't immediately obvious how to play, but worked it out after clicking around a bit :)
_arcuswarp by Lucky Zucc 2021-04-27T14:25:26Z ♥ 2
Awesome! Love the visuals, although they do make it a bit hard to see what's going on sometimes, especially with the blue enemies.
The view range & speed of enemies & bullets made the game a bit hard - if I moved around i'd often fly into a bullet before I've even seen it, and if I stayed still I'd get hit by them!
Eventually worked out I could hide up next to the wall / corner for a bit of an advantage, but I still died very quickly! Difficulty settings would've been nice on this one!
Art style & audio & gameplay all fit together really well though, and the game feels good to play, I just die to quickly! π
Lone Miner by lazarche 2021-04-27T13:13:41Z ♥ 2
Really cute little game! The art sytle & audio & lighting all go really well together, making a really nice mood / atmosphere for the game!
Took me a minute to work out I had to press E to use the tools, but that's no big deal :)
Really liked the death system being so forgiving, leaving the level in the same state - leaving your bodies lying around was a nice touch!
Impressive work for a few days! π
