Fantastic work with the art and animations in this game! The audio did get a bit too repetitive for my taste, but aside from that this felt very polished for a game jam. Well done!

Very clever use of the theme! I really enjoyed the art and music in this game. I would've appreciated having some sort of words per minute timer bonus to provide an extra amount of spaces I could use in battle. Other than the small punishment of not having enough spaces to effectively move forward if you haven't explored all the signs, I felt this was a very well put together game! Great work!
Great use of the running out of space theme! I really enjoyed the music and art style of this game. The gameplay was a bit confusing at first though, and it'd be helpful to have some sort of indicator on what squares were going to turn hostile before you stepped on them, and the same can be said for the enemy attacking mechanics. Overall, great work!
Wow, great job on your game! Trying to control both things at the same-time made my brain hurt a bit lol. I might have to have another go at this with a player 2 to control the breakout ball! Put this on the app store!
It's already been said above, but this moves a bit too fast at the beginning. Which wouldn't necessarily be a problem, except your available actions are RNG, and you learn the game, so to speak. A solid play-through requires a fair amount of luck. That being said, I really thought this submission was well put together! I enjoyed the art, music, and I thought you matched the theme very well by combining these genres. Great work on this project!
I'm going to bookmark this and use this as a warm-up before I play Counter-Strike. Great job on this mash up of genres! I really enjoyed playing your game!
This is very well put together! Great work finding two incompatible genres! This game had a surprising amount of visual feedback for text-based game-play, which I really appreciated. Although, it wasn't quite clear on how to "attack" enemies. I'd try using a weapon I was equipped with only to shoot into the air, or if I used a grenade I would immediately die. A bit more instruction there would go a long ways. Overall, great game!
Hey, I've watched quite a bit of your youtube uploads! Thanks for all the tips on game dev! I really enjoyed playing your submission. It was incredibly difficult, but that was one of the reasons I like it so much! Super tight game-play, great music, funny concept, and all around great game!
Nice concept! I thought this fit the theme very well! Great submission!
Great submission! This was a lot of fun to play! I wish you could skip through some of the dialog to get to the game faster though. Also, audio didn't seem to work on the HTML version, but great game overall!
Funny game! I would've appreciated a bit more instructions in game, the batting didn't feel very intuitive. I still enjoyed this submission though. Good work!
What a cool concept! This game was original, fun, and what it "lacked" in the audio department, it made up for it with comical genius! 5 stars!
Interesting concept to control a character through a 3rd party's eyes. Good work on the animations! I would've liked to have seen more in the audio aspect of this submission, but overall great work for a game-jam!
Wow! For as ambitions as a game of this nature is, you pulled this off in 72 hours and you pulled it off well! Great work on the art, the voice acting, and all the fun little scripts that give a game like this character ! Wonderful submission!
Great polish on the game-play! I really appreciated the elements like an endurance bar, flashlight battery, gun-flash. Felt very well put together, and the environment was interesting enough to enjoy playing all the way through! Well done!
Interesting concept to add different keys for a fire mechanic. I really would've liked some audio and a bit more difficulty. Good submission overall!
Fun submission! I really liked having to control two "players" at the same time. Original concept with a bit of comedic value as well lol. Also, great job on the music, felt very put-together!
Fun little action game! I noticed some inconsistencies in the shield, there were multiple hits through my shield where I took damage. Aside from that no bugs that I was able to identify. I liked your hook for the music changing as you started the game. Well done on your submission!
I had a lot of fun playing this game! I would've appreciated more visual feedback as far as where the closest pick up point was. Also the combat system is a bit clunky with how slow the turning is. I thought the 3D element for the buildings were really cool, and I liked the atmosphere set in the game with the music as well! Great submission!
I really liked the concept in this game! As it's been pointed out before, the difficulty scaling is a bit too much too soon. I'd like it to ramp up at a slower rate. Or better yet, let the player control the speed so we can have fun playing your game for a longer period of time! Or maybe I just need to get better at my typing skills lol.
Very creative game-play! I really enjoyed having to switch back and forth between the two characters to solve puzzles. I really enjoyed this well thought out puzzle-platformer! Fantastic game!
The scope of your project is impressive! I think the game would've benefited from more of the block puzzles, which I felt were a great way to spice up this city-builder game! Great selection on music and I enjoyed the art as well. Good work!
It's easy to see that an incredible amount of polish went into the art in this game. You even added great looking reflections, which was really cool! The jump mechanics felt snappy and responsive, but the game-play overall lacked due to limitations of the "choices" you make. I give up my sweet-roll, or I get stabbed. Not changed when making a decision one way or the other. Overall, this is a great looking game! Well done!
Fantastic art and audio in this game! Great submission!
Incredibly polished game! The learning curve feels a bit steep to jump into, but there's an impressive amount of depth to this game. Good job all around!
I have nothing but great things to say about this game! Well done!
I appreciated that you took simple mechanics and found a way to make it challenging. Well done on this submission!
Loved the atmosphere you set in this game! The music and art felt perfect. I also really like the way your bullets animated, little details like that really pull everything together! Game-play felt tight and well put together! Great game!
Interesting and original mash-up you've created! I enjoyed the billiards style attacks quite a bit! However, I wasn't able to figure out how to get past the red winged enemies. A hint system would really be appreciated in this game! Overall, great submission!
I got rejected by a girl named Gina after sending her a bunch of eggplant emojis, such realism! Lol jokes aside, this was one of the more amusing rhythm based games I've encountered. The music was good and the inputs were just forgiving enough that I can't blame the game for my lack of rhythm. Interesting genre mash up and great game overall!
Hey, I was told I was going to rage quit, but turns out this was actually a pretty fun submission! The "hit-boxes" for the arrow keys felt a bit off from the music, but maybe that's just my perception because I suck at rhythm games. "You need to train, kid!" Solid submission!
This game is hilarious! Very clever combination of two incompatible genres! Great art, great music, great game overall!
Props on implementing a hot key to perform the same velocity shot as the previous, I thought that was a very smart mechanic to add to your game! The speed at which your bullets moved were a bit sluggish, but overall good submission!
I liked the art and animations of this puzzle game! Interesting concept, but a bit of a steep learning curve on the first play-through. I'd also really like to hear some music plugged into this game. Fun submission!
I liked the music in the game, and your art was very unique! I don't think I've seen anything quite like that. I can tell a lot of time went into the dialog boxes, but not being able to manually click to the next frame was one of the larger issues I encountered in your game. Interesting play-through, good submission!
Of all the turn-based RPG mash-ups I've played this Ludum Dare, this is my favorite. Game-play felt smooth and intuitive. I'd love to see this built out with music and more audio outside of this event's time constraints. Great submission!
Simple to understand and fun to play! Great submission!
I liked how easy this game was to pick up and understand, but still so enjoyable! I feel like I could spend a large amount of time playing this on mobile! You should consider porting it! If this game did not have a click-and-hold element I think it would feel a bit smoother, but other than that this was a great submission! Well done!
Really glad I had a 2nd player to try this game out with! Multiplayer is where the game-play really shines in this submission. I thought the art and music was fantastic! How'd you pull this off in 72 hours?? I'm impressed! 5 stars!
I felt I was doing well with the quiz, but then I kept crashing lol. Guess I'm not as knowledgeable as I thought! Fun concept with this game, and I really enjoyed the art that was used as well! Great atmosphere in this game (pun intended). Good work!
Such great art in this game! The music become a bit much after a minute or two, and I did have some frustration when the game decided to spawn me directly to my death. But other than that, this game was well done and has a lot of potential!
I was taken by surprise by how much fun this game was to play around with! I would've like to have seen different damage output depending on where you clicked on the monsters, but overall, fantastic game!
I liked the idea behind this platformer/dating sim. Smooth controls, but I would like the options to have jump be on a different button. Also, I felt that this game could benefit from a death effect or something other than an immediate restart. Good job overall!
Great music and atmosphere in this game! I was a bit confused as to the objective and took me a few plays to figure everything out. This game could benefit from a brief tutorial. Great game overall!
I really enjoyed the art and polish this game had! Simple game-play but was very well done. Also, this is one of the few games I've got to play this Ludum Dare with an Xbox controller, which is really cool! Great submission!
Easily one of the most creative and enjoyable rhythm games I've played! Great music, good art, and solid game-play. High marks all around! Well done!
Incredibly solid game-play! This puzzle element was so simple but so fun to play with! I wasn't sure if it was just my download, but I would've appreciated some audio in this game. Aside from that you got high marks all around! If there is audio working, and I'm just being an idiot, let me know and I'll adjust my score! Great game!
Oh man, this was a really challenging one for me! I couldn't get past two of the hydra heads on easy mode lol. Great theme all throughout the game. I really dig the art and music that was used for this project. As far as all the turn-based mashups I've seen this Ludum Dare, this is one of the more enjoyable ones that I've played so far! Great submission!
This is amazing! I was really impressed on how smooth everything looked and felt in this game. I really enjoyed the writing and fresh take on a point and click adventure. The monochrome color scheme also added a few points in your favor as well. Wonderful work!
This is one of the more unique submissions I've seen so far! I really enjoyed the golf mechanic to move the player around, and I thought the music was great as well. Something that I think the game would benefit from would be better visual cues when you are about to move your player, and maybe something for the enemy destruction as well. I also would like to be able to pan up and down with my camera, the vision felt a bit limited when on top of a constructed tower. This was a very unique and fun submission overall, good work!
I really enjoyed the art in this game. I also thought the light emission behind some of your animations were a nice addition. The game play left something to be desired, but you had enough put into the art that I didn't mind starting over so much. Great submission!
This game has fantastic art and a good soundtrack to go with it. You did a great job of combining two "incompatible" genres in a very unique way.
Well done!
Hey, I'd love to rate your game, but I'm having trouble launching the file using the zip posted in Dropbox. Any special tips on getting your game up and running? If not, maybe post some photos or a video of game-play so I can give you a rating on your submission!
Smooth game-play and great art! I had fun playing this. The fact that you can jump right back into the action helps offset the difficulty​ of this game. Well done on your submission!
I liked the concept you started to create and would love to see more of this developed. The game-play felt similar to "Thomas Was Alone". Good submission!
This game looks and sounds great! I like the concept for the timed movements, but I could have used some visual cues on where and when to move. Great submission overall!
Hey @Matt Pattabhi great compo submission! I would have enjoyed seeing a difficulty adjustment option or different music to choose from perhaps. Also, the music ends before you reach the end of the game. Great job on the artwork and making the game-play smooth! This game definitely requires two hands to hit some of those combos. Great game!
Interesting concept, but the game-play is blocked by a non-intuitive tutorial stage. Some directions either on your web page or in the game could go a long way here. Best of luck on your future games!
I really enjoyed the pixel art and the music transitions, it really tied the comical element together well! I will say the learning curve was a bit steep on creating/cooking the recipes. I felt punished by not being able to move my character while combining ingredients, and even more so when closing the cookbook/menu and reopening it to find that the ingredients I started to combine had been removed. Great job overall!

Clean and simple game-play. I thought the bomb mechanic was a good touch. I would've enjoyed a bit more forgiving game-play, or at least an option to have floors that can be missed without ending the game. Overall, great submission!

This game looked fantastic! I really would like to see something in this style built out more. Great work!
