Cool idea for a clicker game, took me a while to work out how to play the first cell dies far too quickly and there is no game over nor hint to click the sun rather than the buttons under it.
Lovely game, I like the whistling. Note that the compo rules say you must publish the source code alongside the game
The dials are nice but having both "frequency" and "speed" is a bit annoying as they are both kind of the same thing
nice, love the art style
Top entry I love the cartoon graphics, the music and the mechanics feel fleshed out. I like the signal gives a mix between hands on and hands off which fixes my biggest gripe with TD style games when your big turret goes for the single baddie and not the big group!
I glitched into the sea, not sure if the waves is meant to kill your or just knock you about? Movement felt a bit weird and floaty, nice game but doesn't really hit the theme.
89% when I finally realized I needed to copy the other signal tower not the one I could see first!
Great game, I think what makes it is the two way conversation it's like two games in one. Some variations in the words were a little annoying to get exactly right i.e. right tense or with or without the s, there are software libraries that do that sort of thing which would make it a little more friendly, so thank you for having the hint system
Sorry I can't play, one touch from the mouse and it gimbal locks looking straight up and any mouse movement just rotates the camera.
Nice, great collaborative effort. Got the hang of it but at first I'd hoped there would be a little more feedback if the item was the right thing for them, kind of a hotter, colder game and them only getting fed up and leaving if you take took long or offer something really bad.
Is there any ability to turn down the mouse sensitivity? the tiniest nudge sends the camera full up or down and no way of looking anywhere else.
Best mechanics I've seen this compo, I really like the idea and how the limited actions means you have to work out what are the best combos and the cards and the board fit together nicely feeling like one game not two.
If you need any ideas some "intel" cards would be nifty to get an idea of what the computer player's cards are
Great idea for a mini-game, love the expressions and the text
Nice I like it, well done on creating a game!
Charming game, I love the SFX and the physicality of the drone, would work nicely with twin sticks joypad
Fiddly little game, could be more enjoyable with a bit of "juice" and feedback when the ball is correct or wrong. The lack of audio is a shame even a couple of minutes in https://www.bfxr.net/ or something could really add to the game. The animation is nice and smooth.
Lovely game, really funny audio cues as well
The tutorial is bugged out and I can't seem to draw the cyan line, in a way the game recongises. Tried drawing up and down, and tried drawing on the white line as well as the triangle and the magenta square as well in all orders.
Love the art but no idea how to dodge, too much text to read in time, and the music loop is to short to hang around longer to work out what to do. Nice original idea.
Brilliant sending out the probes is a lot of fun and seeing the colour map at the end is pretty satisfying. Nicely take on the theme
Feels satisfying and crunchy despite the the lag on the web build!
Nice one, any game that makes you feel like gromit flying his little plane is great one!

Nice puzzles, charming animation, lovely audio. The deadly trash cans were a bit annoying and movement felt a bit off but that might just be that I don't really like platformers much
Love the graphics, but just a bit too difficult, anyone got any strategies how to do better? the spider seems to be able to do a better job of taking out the riders that I, but not fast enough and it gets too crowded
Nice flags, nice music, cool concept. Could feel a bit more tactile, felt more like a telephone keypad than hoisting flags. Still very good
The signal triggers are a cool idea, though the platformer is too hard for me stuck on the level where you have to repeatedly dash quickly before the first jump signal catches up and removes all the platforms
Asteroids with wifi, brilliant. I love the physical feel of the rocks and the enemies are delightful the way they move!
Okay this is nuts, technically impressive, gameplay wise I'll have to comeback to it
Amazing! really strong entry, engaging enough for me to keep going and push through to the finish. Though one level I couldn't quite tell if I was cheesing it or not having learnt where the finish was I could the just go straight for it without making any pings or if that the idea!
Not being able to tell what exactly the enemy ships are is a little scary, I couldn't tell if they were ramming or what and narratively cohesive. Would love to see more of a world through nothing but sonar pings
Music is good and funny but could do with a longer loop the avoid it getting repetitive.
As Fassenberg said is there anything you didn't get to add? I feel like your concept could do a lot more, more enemy types, falling debrie, some sort of jammer, or field that makes the ping move slower.
Very funny (but I can't rate the humor!) the voice give the game charm. Boss fight is fun but hard, keep dying no idea how close I am to beating gab-be-edi
I like the challenge of following the pinging noise, audio and art style is great and climbing the mountains is quite fun plus little critters! Maps maybe a bit too big, just needs a little more of something to keep you going
Nice take on the theme, I thought about doing something with a van hunting down spies and triangulating but I didn't have the whole weekend to work on it so fair play for going for something ambitious!
Lovely little map and nice minimap
The alt button freelook did something weird with the mouse and turned the camera upside down.
Got stuck with trying to get signal match I got the freq and amplitude right (found the scroll wheel could move the slider in small enough steps) but the phase was doing something strange and changing the frequency if set to a high value with the wave going both up and down at the same time! I'm sorry to say this made it more frustrating than fun
Plenty of content for a compo, but could do with some polish on the control dials if you've time for a post compo version!
That was the most claustrophobic game I've ever played well done! The sonar really builds the mood and over time you get better at reading the landscape (cavescape?) when you come to the really large decent bit you I really had my heart in my stomach when I realised I was over a pit which was so deep it started off, off the scales!
Nice low poly style, and great little narrative, good pace. A minor improvement would be to face the player looking out the door on the second day rather than facing into the door.
Very retro, I'm not familiar with the TIC-80 so it is probably pretty impressive use of the limit specs of the machine, the inertia to the movement was nice, getting a bit of lateral velocity to snipe enemies was good. Found clipping into the grey building quite annoying though.
Glad I downloaded it the Web version was practically unplayable from being so dark and the mouse very sensitive. The climbing mechanic was enjoyable even though I wasn't very good. The press jump longer to jump higher was good but being a little more forgiving when jumping from the side of the ledge would be nice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFsJIrm2btU), I kept falling from the pillar especially the triangular one second from last.
Nice art style and nice and simple I like the mix of critters and their different movements. Able to increase and decrease the speed of descent would be interesting. Nice to have a control method other than keyboard like most of the entries.
I also note a weird 1px border of pixels
Well done for making 20 ratings! 😄
Maybe it was the web version but all the dead bodies were spinning around like mad?
I'd have played more but the elevator loading screen took far too long.
Graphically it looks great though
Nice little factory game, slight issue with z-fighting between the sprites. I liked the 10-minute countdown which felt like just the right time to feel some pressure
If the conveyor rear orientation stayed when switching between angles that would have helped a lot. Also, the delete tool you have to click on the origin tile for the building rather than just any building tile
Really got into the game, only sad at some of the dwarfs who got trapped in a circle after calling the end bell! Really enjoy the puzzle elements about how to safely dig down more
How does the pump work?
Nevermind Seems to work on the download version...
Really enjoyed this game and spent far too long on it, a few more tools would have been quite interesting, filters, placeable taps, some cheap liquid to flush stuff out
Wow, this has a lot of potential I like the battle mechanics and the encounters, I did quite enjoy the anticlimactic ending! A bit of music and audio, and it would be perfect!
Wow great particle effects, also the map reveal looks really crip!
Absolutely nailed down the mechanics, and it looks really nice too
Nice pixel art and background parallax!
The music and the hand drawn stuff is great, as is the inventory. Great achievement given the time you had was really feeling the FTL vibes.
Sometimes weapon attacks didn't seem to respond after clicking, and after an enemy encounter it seems like you have to press the leave button twice. A bit of UI polish and it would be a solid game!
Game was stuck on the loading screen and trying to quit I got an unhandled exception: ``` See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Really nice atmosphere, it felt dark and the planets were nice and glowy, an arrow to point you back to the space station would be really helpful.
I really liked drawing out the map.
There is no friction in space so would have liked to have been able to move as such without drag.
ガレト ゲム 😆
Really nice and fun little entry, I'm afraid I got stuck on level 7.
I did give it a good try but had enough after the second time the hitbox around the feet clipped the fences. Worth fixing it, as you want players to have the adrenaline rush of "wow that was close" not the disappointment of "that sucks my feet didn't even hit anything!"
Nice take on the theme, the babies sounded super annoying so well done I guess!? Very well put together, graphics were great and the game was polished, only minor issue was it was a little fiddly, and I seemed to get stuck on the bouncer a lot.
Nice lighting and music very atmospheric, nice variation in obstacles, the angler fish type thing is my least favourite by far!
103/155 😃
This is the favourite game I've played yet. Like the minesweeper mechanic but the level peeking is what makes it!
Art is great, really smooth, nice pressing music and the deadline gives pressure.
I don't mind the speed but the hitbox for the errors is brutal, insta death even if I do land on a box! my best after 60 attempts must have been 10 seconds and the only time I made it to the second bit with the slidy boxes, where I lived for so short a time I didn't even know what killed me there
I was moving downwards for about 5 minutes before I was wondering where all the fish were. Doh mouse wheel, which turns out to be inverted on my computer!
Very nice colours and very chilled out
Great idea and well executed! This looks like a huge time sink!
The only thing keeping it from perfection is the mini-map on the right, I thought time was paused while in the turret until I died! Then I'm not sure how but maybe some colouring for the progress bars to show how many times it's been reset so I can see which will upgrade and which ones are stuck.
The UI glitched on Firefox but okay on chrome
Well done not normally a fan of point and click, but keeping a simple clean and small enviorment the hunting isn't too bad. Apart from the “vial” but even that avoided the "Rubber Chicken" trope that too many point and clicks have.
Dialogue is great and all in all a very smooth experience, the dialogue selection UI is clean, simple and works better than the other entries I've seen here.
For even better polish I'd suggest making the doorways more visible to get back into the corridor, and when going back to the corrior the camera should start centred around the door you've come back through to avoid any disorientation
Nice mix of varied enemies, movement is good. Also an upgrade system!
I kept seeming to clip the narrow tunnel on the level transition which seems sticky and slows your sub down, apart from that the boundaries worked okay. Also an explaination when you get to the bottom would be useful, I'm not quite sure why I died or is the other sub not friendly?
Impressive amount of stuff added! Felt very atmospheric. Would have liked volume settings as it was too loud on headphones especially as some of the audio was clipping and popping.
The UI could do with more polish, I'm not sure how I was doing it but the guy kept walking away as I was trying to click on something. The chat box could do with being more central and prominent, I kept on trying to click or move only to see there was still a little bit of text left to read freezing me in place
Purple Potatos 😢 First Time I played I didn't work out what to do before the entry area overfilled, second time I didn't find the happiness button, third time the enviroment meter filled up I'm not sure why as I fully upgraded my factories didn't see an option to send it to space!
Great little game I liked the trucks driving around, nice snappy pacing. Would be nice to show what the differences are between the different factories and an animation of the entry yard filling up would be great.
To avoid giving your players a repetitive strain injury I'd suggest having a toggle on if a factory is accepting rubbish or not instead of clicking all the time.
Low poly art stile looks great!
The game over music plays on a loop even after restarting the game
I'd like to review but I click the button to load the game and the buttom disapears and nothing else happens
This game is going to give me a repetitive strain injury, I got as far as unlocking all areas and the death bar at the bottom was too low for me to have the motivation to carry on sorry. The art looks nice and clean though.
I love the style of the game and the idea of controlling a probe through deep space is great, I like how the stars started to move as you get faster.
I got stuck when I found some fuel but didn't have enough power to active the robotics to collect it. A slider to control the audio volume would be good, I could barely hear anything when I had the system volume on max.
Great concept and I like the Hack style movement. Found it was lagging quite a lot (0.5 FPS) not just during animation but during some of the movement to the start. I'd check out the unity profiler to see if anything is taking longer than it should to do. Otherwise great game!
Intriquing, what's the difference between <> and [] ?
That was great fun! It was a bit weird at the end when I seemed to be controlling 10ish ships all bunched together. Is that number of ships dependent on how many planets you satisfied?
A really cool take on the theme. Shame about the lack of sound, but I still enjoyed it.
I like the idea of putting the puzzle clues in the landscape - some more difficult ones wouldn't have gone amiss, but what you've done is good.
A really enjoyable game! Although being able to take at least a couple of hits before dying would have been appreciated :)
Nice idea, but the stamina system seems to be a bit too harsh and unclear - I think I would have liked to see a numeric indicator of stamina in addition to the snail/shell colour.
In the Windows version, the control options seem to be borked. The game uses the default controls despite changing the controls in the menu.
The game would have played better if switching between the up/down orientation was done with a button. It was changing erratically, which made platforming annoying at times.
I think a health bar and game over/you win screens would also have been nice. The art is pretty neat, and it was fun to play anyway!
A fun little game - I also enjoyed the voxel aesthetic. However there didn't seem to be a way to exit the game (from fullscreen mode), so I had to end the game from the task manager while the mouse was locked to the game.
3:56 nice mechanics give reasons to switch between both words, and not just complete one then the other. Controls feel pretty well and destroying the enemies part by part is a good improvement over a health bar.
Great concept with the pulleys, took me a while to work out how it all worked but when I got it sorted it all was quite simple. Lovely art and sounds all comes together with a polished game.
Brilliant idea! managed to make it to the bathroom on both levels, well 'a' bathroom on the second one, good enough lol
Yeah I escaped with 1$ :D Swear I got more but then I probably lost it all from being hit by things. Fantastic amount of stuff accomplished in the time limit. Difficulty of the rooms scaled perfectly, always felt pressed to the time limit but never actually ran out of time.
Really like the resource system, keeping the solar panels lit while manoeuvring is quite the challenge. Sadly trying to work out your direction of travel from the information given is difficult so I had no idea if I was ever in a good orbit or not (every time ended up crashing on the moon or getting lost in deep space). I like the alarm and all the computer panels, lots of features that KSP would be awesome to have.
Love the tangle of wires. Quite a mix of challenges from very simple (ands and ors where just cut everything) to very hard (nots and xors where you need to be more careful) Really fun and good use of logic circuits :)
Did somehow manage to get a glitch where I cut the right wires at the last second and managed to win as well set the bomb off!?
Really enjoyed it and shows what you can do with CS, more variation in generated obstacles would keep it entertaining for longer. While the z key feels a little awkward and a first I was constantly walking into walls I'm now leaping over everything! A prettified map and more music and it could be even better.
Loved the sense of exploring and the fuel limit is a great challenge. Loved the graphical aesthetic and the ending is the best twist!
Love the controls for this and all the whizzing bullets. perhaps at more of a reason to walk around normally I'm thinking black square block bullets or the turrets have a minimum range, so that if a player can weave between the bullets and land on the tower they have a safe few moments to blow up the nearest turret. The shape of the tower can be fixed so that the player has to fly out again (back into danger) to get to another turret.
It's got great potential to mix bullet hell with a platformer!
I kept on getting stuck in buildings and the edges of the map. Glad to see you've done that in a post compo build. Music is suitable and the comments by the people are funny. If you had looping edges to the map that would increase the pace and make it even more mad!
Yippee neo got his electrons back! Nice embellishment around the puzzle game, pressing the buttons is satisfyingly done.
Did it! :D Loved the puzzles, brilliant little game you could do loads of things with the time shift idea, 3D braid why hasn't anyone done it already!?
Freaky... where could her normal place be?
Loved it the camera vignette and other effects are great. Please of the direct control, not such a fan of point and click this feels better. At first I thought all the rooms weren't really behaving themselves but actually they seemed to stay put, no freaky 4D antichamber effects. Once I realised that moving around felt easier I like how that emulates the shock and disorientation of the guy losing his wife. I also liked how you could tell where in the house you were with the furniture and all their positioning started to make sense.
HYPER FURBALL MODE! :D upgrades are really good (though I found things became a lot easier with long arms and most of the hyper upgrades), I was starting to wonder if the game was endless but then I found the ending. Really fun and feels like a complete well rounded game rather something rushed out in 72 hours.
Good Job http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/09/01/l-for-loser/
Love the music, started off being quite relaxed watching the other people succeed or fail to be useful. As it was getting closer to my turn, I started getting tense "Would I be one of the people who progressed the story, or would I be a failure and a time waster?" In the end I was a bit of both! Really looking forward to seeing the final video - Jim playthrough 6
While its fair I can't play again for the same play through is it just for this playthrough or for all playthroughs?
Very silly very fun, got so keen on chunking stuff I chunked the vase she liked! >:/ At first looked similar to my game but the only thing in common is they both make fun of royalty :)
This is more infuriating than qwop! I've got the driving sorted even with max delay, but the grabber I can hardly handle even min delay, it worked so nicely the first time I didn't realise it actually has all the finesse of an arcade grabber >:/ I'm guessing that's where KSP found the parts for the rover?
Anway enough of the minor grumblings, I love the game! Brilliant concept and a real original challenge.
Great concept, really nice graphics, only problem is walls that are too sticky. I'm thankful for the prep time to move people to the right places before your first action.
Very original love the music, thanks for including the hints option. trying again without using hints and its much more difficult. The clipping between sections even when in the right order is a bit of a distraction if you could fix it to have smoother transitions that would be great. Other than that more songs please! :D
Just brilliant, great concept and thoroughly enjoyable!
Duo control system is a great innovation, I like how you can mix and match items and all have their uses. Going all mange is quite fun shooting fireballs and the defensive spell is great pushing you away from danger AND freezing the enemy! Graphic and map are nice, music is nice although out of theme with the rest of the setting. If you do a post comp version a walk animation for the guy would be an idea.
Got to lvl 27, amazed how I was able to almost instantly spot the odd pixel! Nice audio and good clean visuals.
Fun, like a more serious version of uplink. being a bit of a SQL noob, I had nowhere enough time to do anything more than run a couple of queries before Snowden escapes every time! If you work any more on this please add some way of changing how quickly time flows. Thanks to clippy and @wombatica for offering useful querries. How do you move your agents?
A nice little game and I like what you did with the theme. The interface and click-move methods weren't the best, but still a good job overall.
Nice rag-doll physics, intro text was silly and bizarre (could exploding nappies be anything else?), all in all nice game.
Very surreal, humour was quite good, not much time given to answer questions though the non response answers were very funny!
My goodness, just look at that street! :O Can't believe you managed to do that as well as everything else in the game. Conversations were funny if repetitive by the end of it I wish there was a punch in face option for the taco taco guy! Please do a post-jam entry with more dialogue :)
Cute cat, gorgeous background. Sounds all added great atmosphere. Nice touch how some of the platforms are controlled by the clock.
Planing the path and watching the drone is great fun, combination of time and fuel limits adds a nice challenge. Very well made!
The showers of particles while looking nice mean you can't see anything and really lags out the game. Controls felt frustrating, especially wall jumping. The sarcastic commentary on top of my almost continuous dying got annoying really quickly. Graphics look nice and game feels polished, it's a shame that a couple of little things ruined what would otherwise be an enjoyable game.
Brilliant concept. I love the bug like scurrying of the demon eyed soot monsters.
No idea how I won the move level, clicking the buttons or pressing arrow keys did nothing the first time! The rest of the game makes hardly any more sense, but the paradox level was funny!
Yeah Finished it :D Like the flowy drawing style and a nice little story, glad the pace sped up a bit at the end, either that or I was getting the hang of what/where I needed to do/go. Story didn't explain what Alice had to do with the accident.
Lovely graphics, very Limbo like in style.
Seriously insane. Lovely bright colours and good choice of music!
Lovely story and by far the most effort spent on audio I've heard, really pays off well! Poor, poor Mr Moore.
5* for Theme, Audio and Mood.
The map is very pretty and the game very stylish, procedural generation certainly helped with that. Despite that the uniform generation away from the open area around the house didn't really incentivise me to explore more, though I guess it does add to the sensation of feeling lost when everything looks the same but isn't quite the same. Game-play was a bit lacking, and having to pay more and more for each line was a bit off-putting.
Mixing dungeon crawling rogue style with a time limit is great to add extra tension. The breathing and other audio makes things even more tense. The laser blast also feels satisfyingly chunky. Very nice game.
Partial walk-through is pretty essential, you should show that before players start. Before that I just kept on getting no scores or Fs, having no idea what to do with the thought pictures. With the walkthrough on how you had to join more than one thought I was able to have enough time to get a B grade. Getting round the non intuitive idea, its a very cool concept with a gruelling pace set high enough the real game is trying to keep calm and focus.
Very dark. Physics done superbly, graphics, sound and everything all very nicely polished.
As Elisee has finished writing file saves functionality for craft studio, you should be able to make permanent map saves. An in-game level editor has trigger my interest, I'll have to try it as soon as I can.
Gah punshining difficult, even with playing loads of KSP! Still fun though, if the player starting in a more stable orbit would give you more time to look around the map, at the moment its a desperate case of avoiding the planets as soon as you spawn!
Horrifying, seemed powerless. couldn't get Q and E to do anything helpful. Only found two endings doing nothing or leaving the room the only way possible.
Bizarre, theme and art style feels a little like adventure time. Certainly the character is a little Finn the Human looking. F5 didn't give me super powers :(
Nice intro, and the changing character is fun. With such nice looking sprites its surprising a simple laser shot is not among them. The 10 seconds jump between glitches seems a bit of a technical afterthought, when you were really following the glitch theme.
Hah great fun did all 15 levels. None of the levels was too taxingly difficult. Had a few minor glitches like robots going through one another the extra types of robots made things a bit more interesting. Reminds me of the board game Robo-rally minus the crazy multiplayer with people shoving each other into pits and lasers!
Well that was very silly and fun due to the ragdoll physics!
Simple, but fun while it lasts :)
Lovely graphics, and the throw physics feels satisfying rather than frustrating which is all too common. Only thing it was lacking was some suitable music, or at least some more sounds (could hardly hear the background ambiance at normal volume), audio cues from the animals to help you hunt would be brilliant.
Gah, that game is stressful, in a good way! The Sinister music and endless bleeping sounds. you should make a hardcore mode where the error buzz is the sound of you triggering your imminent demise >:D
Nicely done, reminds me slightly of one of wii sport minigames. The mechanics feels very satisfy, to discourage waving about randomly you should cut the board in half regardless of if its done correctly or not, then the player will have to be more precise and careful.
Loving the time-warp effect, that and the upgrades are the best bits of the game. Movement felt a little weird and Watching the boss constantly crawl up and down the screen during the start, slowed down the otherwise pacey game.
Silky smooth controls, I can't blame them for dying so much! Some sort of checkpoint would be nice but the change of rules are great!
Physics + Retro graphics, brilliant combination. Nice touch with the fake console screen. Much more fun than a traditional dodge game.
Simple concept, great execution.
Really crisp clear cutscenes, well polished with good audio and graphics. good sense of humour, the weakest point was the gameplay.
I'll have to try it again when I've got a mouse, sprites look really nice. Global Leaderboard is a pretty cool feature too.
I quite like how it fits the theme, but it was a bit crashy for me on Firefox 23.
Excellent idea!
Brilliantly polished and nice little game. The dash movement is a good alternative to the normal platformer movement, though a little tricky to get the timing right.
The evolving creature graphics are really good. The other traits are good with the tasty and the poisonous creatures. The comments by the creatures add a bit of humour.
Great game, the location in the veins with all the blood cells and bacteria is fascinating, more games need created like this!
Your map has a lot more shape to it than most of the 3D unity games. The graphics are great and the room looks like a dungeon. The only problem with the game I was a bit unclear what to do, I didn't realise at first you could pick up objects as they seemed to dissapear if you clicked on them, I later learn that if you click and hold you can move them, but if you look down at the floor they can dissapear underneath it.
Freeky, the walking sounds like an ominous ticking clock, the increasing fuzz makes it harder and harder to see. The moving shadows and the corridors that changed were unnerving. Even though I could guess the end it still gave me a jump! Audio works great and the mood is good. Some of the textures could be improved a little but otherwise great!
Fun little game, can see how the num pad would be really useful, but trying to work out the link between the normal number keys and the grid was tricky. If you added to ability to click the boxes instead to sequence the fossils that would be really helpful for keyboards without num pads.
Still if that is the only criticism I can find that means that everything else was all pretty amazing!
Beautiful, the glowing trails are good, and the mini-map looks as alive as the world itself! In theme it is similar to my own game but very different in execution. Some of the events are really interesting, a group of creatures exhaust their food, and are forced to go on a risky migration through a forest of other coloured food. I love games where from simple rules some complex behaviour can emerge :)
Pretty but buggy, couldn't get the breakfast to work and the character would walk through the fridge door! Path-finding is a little basic as well. Though fun game I just wish I could finish it!
Well that was very strange...
Great graphics, feels nicely polish and the game is tricky but not impossible. What I don't like is that some of the leafs weren't solid and trying to jump on them would lead you to fall to your death.
Hah, mousetraps very funny. Its a quirky little puzzle game and I like how it builds up one extra bit at the time. I think the logic for your safe is a bit busted. I had 3 right numbers in the right place and one right number in the wrong place, so I think it was counting the same number twice.
Great idea to add a story to space invaders! I see that unlike the original the games speed wasn't limited by the processor speed (lucky or the aliens will reach the bottom in moments with modern computers!) Anyway the green aliens added a real challenge, and I felt bad if I hit them. Spawn is buggy, and I lost during a cut-scene where I couldn't shoot which felt a bit unfair :'(
Hey this is just a comment and not a review (I'm only playing web games). Reading all the comments I would just like to say keep up the game development I wish I had started making them sooner. But as well as that work hard at school, it might not seem relevant right now but you need to do well to attend College and University. Once you get there you have a lot more choice about what you study, things like Maths, Science, and Computing as well as English and History (if you want a story that doesn't suck) are all subjects you need to know if you want to make good games :) Your parents at least appreciate education is important and it's a shame they aren't supportive of your hobby.
One last thing, calm down a bit you are posting a huge number of comments all over the website, then DON'T USE UPPERCASE ALL THE TIME IN EVERY COMMENT (as people read it as if you were shouting), don't get provoked into arguments, keep making games, keep learning, oh and P.S. challenge yourself write something in flash or java script, sure it's harder but the challenge is good for you and will make you a better programmer, give you more control over design and get your game out to much more people.
Startling mix of different zones, some have been lovingly created, others less so. What would be nice would be the ability to peak into the next zone to see if its blank or not. All too often I am randomly falling through empty space. Great intro, good music and I like the classical Greek feel helps evoke the feeling of a fresh new world.
Amazingly fun puzzle game. They way you are searching the logs and the transaction details you do feel like a detective in an old vision of what the future would be like. What I really like is how the 3 cases which at first appear separate are actually all linked.
Please write some more cases!
Fun and well polished game, one downside was I didn't see how it fitted the theme at all.
The buttons and crystal look good, then the colour change to the background to show damage is really good. An alternative way of displaying text would be much better than pop-up boxes(The only pop-ups my game makes is if you win or lose, and that was because I was in a rush at the end). What I did and suggest you should do is add an html paragraph and use the DOM to modify its contents to display the most recent message there.
Its a good game but a difficult one, for a moment I was excited to get the flame-thrower booster jump but then the jumps got even harder :( Nice animation, sound effects and its a shame I couldn't see more of the story.
Fun little game, the upgrades were quite tactical "well I've upgraded my wall on the right, but the one of the left is taking a pounding so lets give them a gun". Got more fun as you started maxing out your upgrades.
I like the remake of the super mario bros. map and the old gameboy style graphics are cool.
Great little pet simulator, felt a bit like a mix between catz and the sims with a heap of pixel art style.
Nice concept and I like the helper models and how they roll around, the fact they can be a bit stupid doesn't matter as they are robots. I like how the physics means they can push away the asteroids but the game has a lot of bugs (negative funds, values not rounding properly, enemies can't hurt the station) but if you start polishing the game it could be really good.
I can understand why Dude can't stand the world if its trying to kill him. Interesting little game.
The ball moved well enough, you just had to get some speed up before you could jump up the ledges. What was less fun was getting through those bloody bunnies! Which is a shame as I'm sure the next area would have been interesting.
Fun game, great graphics which makes the world look really pretty,somehow I managed to win first time.
I'd suggest changing the game mechanic so that you are hunting and being hunted at the same time with all the types of creatures in the world simultaneously, with them hunting each other as well that would be awesome.
Lovely game, so many different locations and types of creature. The interaction with the environment with the tree chopping and the boat. I don't think I have a single fault with the game other than I took me a while how to work out to progress the dialogue at the end.
I like the minimalistic feel to the game and how anything added to the game feels perfectly placed. The combat is also done well so you have to try and position your sword between you and the monster. Some retro music might have been nice if you had the time to add it.
Nice simple game rules, the warning that you are about to change colour is good, same goes for the invulnerability time after you are hurt, and the upgrades are nice.
I liked the fly movement it looked natural. The story behind it is humorous but I think it would have improved things if you gave it some Mexican themed music and added a victory screen if you win.
Nice cartoon animation and great humour both endings are quite funny. Movement felt a bit clunky but otherwise good.
I am sick of those annoying fish. Fun game and I like the non-intrusive story scrolling on the start menu.
Fun little game with great humour. The artwork was great and the aliens suitably weird and exotic. Some music and fx would have improved the atmosphere a bit.
Please let me know when you upload it. I was wondering why it had no ratings!
Radioactive laser cats! The game is as awesome as it sounds.
Only down side was the movement felt sluggish.
The characters all look very good, the music would be nice if the loops were longer and having each level as an evolution stage was good. The short-cut to evolution was useful to see the later stages. Equipping items is a bit buggy.
Generations concept is fun, it would be nice little touch if the guy had his mothers hair colour. Movement is a little slow and if you could get zombies to move that would also be great.
Interesting concept, this has potential. At first I didn't get what the force close was about, I thought I had made some sort of mistake. Then once you reload the app it goes really weird, like your still holding the books (which you can drop). Add some more story and fix the bugs and this will be awesome!
A similar concept but a very different execution from my own game. The graphics and sound were good (despite fact several sounded like they had been taken from age of empires, but that's okay for the Jam). I like the menu screen and the game has some charm with the creatures with hats. I just had no idea what I was meant to be doing or how.
Beautiful experience and well worth the second play through, the first time only the one tree grew but the second many did :)
Although some people complain that this isn't a game, I am glad that not all people are constrained by what a game is or we wouldn't have this amazing art game! (There is no category rating game like elements and this whatever it is rates highly in Innovation, Fun, Theme, Graphics, Audio and Mood.) Innovation is as much about what elements we can remove as we can put in.
This is by far the best 3D graphics I've seen yet. I had to play a lower quality version so I can't rate the textures but the movement was fluid, lighting was good and the puzzles were fun but the platform jumping a bit too tedious. Then the camera controls and movement were faultless, no easy feat given the number of games which get this horrifyingly bad.

Nice graphics, sound and concept. Only problem was you died a lot and often unexpectedly with no explanation why.
The bow and the sword look and act really nicely. Then the mood is dark and scary with lots of things to jump out at you. Only problem I felt the dungeon itself a bit lacking in variation, add in some more textures then change the shape of the rooms a bit to add a few pillars and buttresses to the walls.
The ambience and the pencil drawing style gives the game a great mood. Then the harvesting humans is quite a freaky idea and works with the theme well. Then the meteorite physics works well, I find I can't really push the big ones, but I can shield the creatures from the smaller bouncing debris by pushing it away.
The music sets the mood perfectly. It was quite a freaky game. One possible bug is that my laser eyes did no damage only by right click to make tears could I hurt the enemies.
The game is approaching the "I wanna to be the guy" difficultly especially with the (buggy?) flowers that act like spikes. Graphics and music are great,I like the achievement and local storage system. The page is a bit too large to quite fit the normal screen, I have to press F11 to get both the score and messages to both appear in the page.
I managed to play for a little bit before the game would start temporary freezing for 5 seconds every 10 seconds, making it almost unplayable. I'm using Chrome.
From what I could make of the game the audio and graphics had a nice feel. Then the evolution mechanism added the challenge of having to move and direct the little pucks.
Great graphics, huge world and a surprising number of similarities to a Zelda game. While that is a huge achievement for 48 hours, I do have to make some constructive criticism: it doesn't rank highly on the innovation that could have been a lot higher if you brought in something new and in the theme as well if you made a semi dynamic landscape or enemies. Still, I realise that those features would have been time demanding to implement and I haven't seen a game yet that has managed to fit all the categories. So its more a suggestion for what you could do post compo, or for future competitions.
Great graphics, nice that you can push the desks around and stuff. The kitten sisters are hard to beat.
The only negative I could think of was there was only a loose connection to the theme, other than that its great!
The game is very different. Writing all the lines and then putting in the logic for them must have been challenging. I find the game is a real challenge.
Nice idea with the scrolling menus, the levels with more than one robot were quite challenging.
Nice animation, and lighting the fire was quite cool. Yeah the monkey still died with Chrome.
A very very silly game, was fun to complete. The battle pigeons look more like planes but that just adds to the madness.
Amazing graphics, what is really nice is the paint line that gets drawn out and all the pattern you can make from clicking. The total stats from all of the games played is an interesting idea, it looks very balanced at the moment.
During the Compo I saw your post and was glad to find the finished game.
Great idea, such simple rules make such dynamic enemies. You learn to hate the invincible squares and worry that your shot my cause the enemy to "explode" though if you can dodge the explosions then its really fun. What would be nice is a score system, make the grid bigger and make it transparent so you can see those stars flowing through play area as well.
Its a fun little simulator, the minimal input is challenging in its own way and there are cringing moments where the creatures can't seem to find the food or can't quite reach a mate if they are the last two. In a way it is similar to my own game (creatures evolving in a simulator) though I didn't have the time to write as complex behaviour and events as you managed.
One possible bug I found is that the creatures got stuck in the section between the ramps.
Sound effect and graphics are good. Unity took ages to load, and the game is horribly bugged, I see you've added bug fixes in your post compo update but the rules say you are allowed to fix your compo submission just not add new features. The improve each time is a nice feature, but its become more of a kill yourself to make you better.
Its quite a funny little game, even the gravestones for the lemmings which should be sad. The UI is very basic and the camera controls can be a bit annoying but the cliff is huge and this physics seems good.
I can't seem to tell what traits make the lemmings more survivable. Also please fix your link from https to http as with the first version the page didn't recognise I had unity.
Sounds like some had been reading flatland. Its a fun shooter, easy to die, but that makes when you do well all the better. It reminds me most (unsurpisingly) of geometry wars, but the upgrade goal of the shape is quite humourous and the powerup features are nice. I liked spining around as the line as you were hard to hit side on (so can't see why he'd want to be a circle anyway, prehaps being a line has the same stygma as in flatlands).
Worked smoothly for me, completed the two levels. The difficulty was more down to finding the dark boxes in shadows rather than the camera issues some other people have had. I only had one camera problem at the start of the second level which fixed itself as I moved.
Managed to get to the end, really jumped at the first worm, and quite a few after that. The various types of medical equipment was good. It could have done with a bit more of a story and an explaination about the worms and weird boxes.
What made the game something different, was the persistant bodies. A dead rabbit killing a worm was hillarious, and using the bodies as a carpet to safely cross spikes was useful. Despite that the game was hard really hard, I couldn't see how to jump through some sets of spikes as every jump was the same height no matter how breifly you press space.
The maps are the best thing about the game, I didn't see the purpose in having more than one unit if you can only move one (unless you are intending to add different types of units later), so I spent the time moving the one guy around all the cities. What would look really nice is some roads connecting some of the more major places, they might be quicker to move along but attract enemy armies that want to ambush you. As it is as well as strategy, you could make an awesome RPG from the map as well!
An eye with a top hat how marvellous! The game is quick and fun, if a bit hectic my minions seem to be doing more work than me by the end, all I do is run around finding them the bones. Firing the laser beam feels satisfying, and was surprised to find that you could jump with the space bar!
Nice original idea, I made it to about 40% before getting bored of growing trees and trying to navigate through the mazes, nothing more infuriating than seeing a gem you can't reach! I can't seem to hear any music ( I'm using Chrome) only sound fx which are good. It would be a relaxing game apart from the limited supply of gems, which is an interesting element as you need a strategy, how to get the most gems from spending the least.
It took a while to work out how to kill the bosses, but once I had the zapping power (not sure how I got it) they were mobbed by the other tadpoles. The graphics and audio are better than most, and movement is fluid. The group behaviour is a nice touch. Only downside is that the bosses and the alpha tadpole can disappear off screen, at least make an arrow to say where off screen they are.
Not sure what it was the dying sound or the hidden spikes but it made me jump the first time I died. You died a lot on this game but the checkpoints meant it wasn't too painful. The sprites were nice some were definitely references to characters. I think the graphics were okay, just highly stylised.
Very retro feel. Best feature I think is the shooting stars in the sky and the lighting on the walls when you shoot. I can't get past the second or third blob without dying, not having strafe controls is too retro for me. Blob animation is also good as its clear if you hit it.
Nice little game, was the original idea for more levels once you could place blocks? Was still good collection the cell parts, and longer platformers can get tedious if you don't offer new features.
Best Entry I've played yet, its not the first time I've seen the theme evolution of gaming but this is the best and most polished one I've seen yet.
How much traffic did your dropbox get? Only asking as I've hosted my game on there, though I shouldn't worry as much as it is nowhere near as good or popular as this.
Once you understand what the genome columns are they are a really good feature. You can see your populations current gene and what the next one will be from any genes you've selected from the pool. This makes it quite innovative for a RTS and fits the competition theme really well.
What I didn't notice at first was the more positive traits you at the more a unit costs and I ran out of money and then the workers died and I was stuck. The game is very quick, though if you want to build up your workers make sure you have enough spare money to send a wave or two or fighters to stop incoming waves or you will lose very quickly.
The game is a fun little death match, though I'm not sure if the game lasts long enough for you to modify your units too much. What would be cool if you could write a 2-player version.
Its a shame you don't have much in the way of graphics, audio or humour so I can't rate those categories more than 1, but the game rates well in all the other areas.
One fix I'd like would be able to remove units from the queue.
Its a nice concept, but until you reach 8 bit you don't really know what's going on. Its also not clear when the game ends, I'm stuck on 16-bit if you find the girl nothing happens and if you go down from the houses you get stuck in endless loop land. The poor path-finding makes it infuriating to click and nothing happen other than booping sound.
The theme was a good interpretation of evolution and the innovation for improving the graphics was good even if the 16-bit graphics weren't the most pretty.
Great game, the Graphics and audio are fantastic the music sounds similar to the music from the original Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy TV series. The map is nice as well it does feel like you are in a small research station.
Only only negative point was the story wasn't only linear (not always a bad thing) but you were constantly told exactly what to do.
Really really pretty graphics. The game feels nicely polished, though I am stuck how get more than 1 goal though I think I might have found different ones each time.
I would say it was press space to win, but you don't win. You could have done a lot more with the game with the time you had if you are going to make the first 200 million years dull then at least speed them up a little. I don't have the patience to see if anything actually happens, though the comments seem to think that nothing does.
Great humour, what really made the game stand out was the ability to combine your power-ups to form different powers. The game has charm, but the one negative thing I can say is that it would have been even better with a good sound track and a less annoying sound from hitting the floor.

While moody there can be quite long transitions between scenes and early on the repair and shops seemed more frequent than nessisary. To help the desolate wasteland vibe it would be cool if instead of a shop you'd scavenge parts from enemies.

I don't think the Obra Din style 2-bit minimal pallet works here, the HUD is too noisy and I couldn't tell what was going on everything was occurring too fast, text displayed too fast. The amount the mouse had to be dragged compared to the lever wasn't clear I'm glad it had to be moved more as in theory that would give more granular control unlike the tiny controls.

Only minor point, I lost my first play through as I was trying to click and hold without switching mode, to polish the controls you could totally make it context sensitive without needing the right click

The game seems to lock up when you win or lose. I couldn't work out how to use charm or turn away. divination seems a little redundant as an option as you have to use it before an attack. Cool gameboy vibe though.

Totally bizarre and very silly. Love the retro graphics.

Quality idle clicker spent way too long on it, not sure how the theme fits.
Science and gold needs to feel a little bit more different from each other.

Ah sorry I can't play have neither a numpad or a controller so got stuck in the tutorial :(
Proper Cannoning by hunttis 2026-10-24T15:40:18Z ♥ 1
Cool idea, as others say the baddies get stuck in a pit and the power ramps up way too quickly to get any kind of precision needed at distance, I could get the power to say the nearest 100, but the difference between 600 and 700 was huge.

Nice style, a quality entry. I like the balance between tactile without making the actions excessively fiddly.
I noted this is submitted as a COMPO entry but uses existing sound assets which is not allowed in the compo. Please can you edit the entry to JAM and I'll be happy to score it.

Quality polished entry, the meta retry is great. I can't think of anything that would make it better. Possibly the trees and rocks were a little dense, if you had that density around the edge of the map that would be cool, have a little patch in the middle that is open but slightly too small to stay in so the options are: a) stay in the open middle where you won't get trapped but it's not enough space to kite well b) kite more but risk the trees and rocks
It will also make the edge of the map clearer.
The Ancients, V1 by Naviski 2026-10-24T14:32:00Z ♥ 1
Sweet little game. I like the art and a music, it has a cohesive low fi, pixel style.
It has a solid core so everything is just quality of life suggestions.
A full screen button would be be great, the weapon icon wheel is way too small to see well. Given the icon wheel, I kept thinking it would be a mouse to aim, and move to aim was a little fiddly as you have to walk toward the enemies to aim at them. Having all weapons unlocked at first seemed a little OP especially when some were clearly much better than others, unlocks or ammo could be good.
I do hope you'll consider polishing up a post jam version :)
Ye Old Repair Shop by Yorze 2026-10-24T14:18:40Z ♥ 1
Nice concept, I got to where the game branches into two modes, but then manage to soft lock myself. I couldn't detach a cable, so then used reset and then it happened again and the reset button didn't work a second time.
It's nicely tactile I like the menu, however the whole having to drag a cable to progress in between levels is a little tedious.
Hard to describe but connecting things up was strangely satisfying it like you took a part of the Zactronics game Shenzen where you join up components. Please let me know if you do a post-jam bugfix as I would love to do more of the puzzles but at the moment I can't stand the idea of soft locking again and having to go through all the tutorials.
As @marudziik says the Compo rules say all assets must be created solo within the time limit, so please do switch over to a Jam entry, I think you can still edit your entry to a more relaxed category (see what buttons are enabled or greyed out), if not I think it does give some admin contact details to help.
XENOCHRON by EricNS 2026-10-23T22:09:05Z ♥ 1
Nice art, game was a little tricky the guys arms seem a lot shorter (though it seems like his hitbox goes out a bit more than it looks?) than the bad guys swords so was just better to sneak through. Music is nice and you got the Hotline Miami vibe down.
Ah on a replay swapped to the gun which was a big improvement!
Not sure how it fits the theme. Suggestions for improvement would be a bit of a hint which way to go as it was quite a maze and other than that a bit of "game feel" but solid foundations!

Snake Temple by mgear 2026-10-23T22:01:40Z ♥ 0
Classic Rogue game, short simple and sweet really embraced the old tech as well with the choice of language. Hard to dodge the snakes they really do lock on once they see you.

I don't know what to say. Well done for making your own game engine. I really don't know how else to rate this.
The lightning sound is really rough please give a warning for that.
Pearishable by Fis 2026-10-23T21:31:34Z ♥ 0
Nice game, the tutorial did drag on a bit, I'd rather get a few concepts at a time before learning all the fruits.
The click drop felt a little clunky, the right click to remove only worked after selecting it and turning it green? A hover ghost would help a lot to know if you've got a piece.
I like the pipes and I wouldn't even mind the slightly tricky parabolic curves if it was a little easier to move pieces. Love all the fluidity and bounce of all the elements.

Wow amazing setting, I loved the Mortal Engine books so being in a walking city is cool. A quality short
It's a Pipe Dream by dracco_0n 2026-10-23T21:10:59Z ♥ 0
I like the concept but I'm missing something the containers don't have any address on them, I starting sending them anywhere because it would come back with code I can match to a line number, what am I missing?
Maybe the first container should be a bit more of a walk through.

Quality puzzle game, poor guy I broke his clock, I'm guessing you didn't have to clean the all dirt I'm not sure how else you'd pick all the gears off and hammer back in 3.
Enjoyable and well polished, nice art.
Old Tech, Dead Tech by crotonyl_alcohol 2026-10-23T20:48:23Z ♥ 1
Information overload, I had no idea what I was doing, I think some of the meaning has been lost in translation. I didn't know who all the little people were, "tech" as in technician? Are technicians workers? an old guy? You needed to make a sacrifice but not sure how or why.
Cool idea but the UI needs a lot of polish
Swatronics by grateful-tomato 2026-10-23T20:37:24Z ♥ 0
Nice concept, having enemies right at the spawn is a bit hectic, and somehow I managed to go in a different route, I saw an armored bug before I saw the tutorial text one.
First puzzle I was a bit confused I didn't realize you could lay wires I though you hand to connect input and out with 4 connecting gates and was wondering why it only let me use 3 of them when I needed to bridge 4 squares!
Snuffed Out by Hugimugi7 2026-10-23T20:27:09Z ♥ 0
5/5 Graphics and Audio. Love the pixel art, the voice overs all quality. I didn't mind the slow walk at first but you should consider unlocking a run option after doing the first scan or getting the first audio track. The sub mini game reminds me of my favorite entry in LD59, if you could only see via sonar ping that would be even more scary.
This Way Up by Heviosso 2026-10-23T20:15:08Z ♥ 1
Great graphic style, I'm glad I didn't rage quit at the first puzzle, I kept clipping to the ledge on the first jump and assumed there was an invisible barrier! Once got through that was surprisingly plain sailing to the finish, the other puzzles were neat especially the final one. I like the triple buttons at the finish line.
Tomb of green cup by CoolPurpleRat 2026-10-23T20:07:34Z ♥ 0
Love the graphics style and the laser felt pretty satisfying at first with the sound and the effects, but felt really underpowered once there were more vines especially given only the tips were vulnerable. Lighting the torches were a fun touch.
FACEPAGE: Old Internet by Darkwing00Duck 2026-10-23T19:56:11Z ♥ 0
Nice concept got to 500 and made a couple of friends.
I found I was generally shooting almost to the right and it was rarely needed to move up and down, I guess it would break the wall theme but maybe have some posts be worse than others so you focus on the important ones? Can't believe there was no poke button, that would be fun for a big powerup :)

Love the animated flash game vibe, not sure what I did to get through the gate though. Games were a little simple but I guess you managed to not only make a game but a bunch of them.

Really impressive amount of polish on this, possibly there were a few too many text bubbles to start with but that's just nit picky...

I don't get the premise, the stuff is burned for energy but is also turned into something else? Nice mood though very 1990s

Prime directive satisfied. Good setting felt like a mash up of paranoia, my TTRPG table and a Bill and Ted movie. Would be great to see a dev log of how you made it.

Love the idea, nice polish, the sheep made me laugh reminds me of that old cat/dog desktop toy. Really fun and you got the difficulty curve just right. The busted old computer, makes me think of the IT crowd the bit where Roy is shocked by Jen's computer! Best entry I've played so far.

Lovely game I was hoping for lots of train games for this theme. I love the art and the sound effects are nicely timed. I did a train game myself, the clack clack of the rails was quite tricky and I didn't quite get it right.

I love the art but wasn't sure what to do, I was able to burn the black pot (or at least the fire lit but the pot didn't change state?) but the others wouldn't do anything. The controls felt a little off as well.

Holy information overload. I love the pixel art style and it looks like the kind of game I want to like being a big fan of KSP, however the information is just a constant stream, nothing makes sense. I don't have time to learn this and review other games as well.
If you use AI you really need to pull it back from just spewing content.

I love the cameraphone, though the sticky note password fills me with rage what kind of person uses!?! 1 and l in a password!

Freaky, I like the way the text dialog writes out, took a while to work out what to do and everything felt clunky. The little sticky note I couldn't read if it was a tutorial or tip or anything.
Spirit Level by Dark Arts and Sciences 2026-10-21T19:18:35Z ♥ 0
A bit tricky to play solo. I like the use of the Victorian style Manicule, not so sure about the background audio and the traffic noise that didn't read spooky just unsettling.
The Last Route by T4RAN 2026-10-21T18:55:18Z ♥ 0
Love the concept combine a base builder but with exploration survival. The font choice is a bit iffy, and early game might little a little more prompting as I didn't realize stopping the train would help
