Hi, thanks! I'm aware of it. It's hard to balance the cube's lifetime. Try to use the cheat: Hold space while clicking the create cube button.

Hi, I made same changes in the balance for anyone who wants to the see the ending without the cheat code.

But I'll not change the original links, it's against the rules, right?
Hm.. I tested here, the first version is fine. You can reach the top. You only have to choose the best "number of will points" for each block, especially after the third line of blocks. :)
Thanks for the feedback! I'll soon play your game too! :)
About the mouse clicks... the original idea was a traditional simple button, but the touchscreens came to mind, and I changed to something more familiar with them.
Thanks! I agree. Next time I'll be more prepared. :)
Nice art and music. The idea can be developed further to include more variation.
Very nice!
A few suggestions: add a color the each level or level group, and create more levels with rotating controls, wrapping the position around the edges and so on.. :)
Nice game. I finished it! "You win" :D
Nice music! Good game, it's a bit hard, but it's fun. Storing the highscores would be great.
Good game. The audio has charisma. :)
Good idea. Just needed a little more polishing.
Wonderful Game! Very good!
I liked the idea. The traps in the first time were annoying, but latter i's easy to avoid them. Good game.
Wow! Impressive!
@Twisted Devotion: Thanks!
@madameberry: Thanks. Indeed, I didn't have much time to playtest the platform levels, plus i'm a very bad pixel artist.. XD.
@Desi Quintans: I tested only in chrome. I'll check this later, but thanks!
@FrederickK: Thanks! Yes, Now I spent too much time coding. See the statistics bellow. And I need to learn the creation of animated sprites and tiles..

Guys, I'll check your games very soon! Thanks!
@FrederickK: Also the scope was too big. I planned five levels + two endings, in the end I did just 3.
Well.. and to resume the story:
The objective were to prevent the alien invasion. To do that, the characters will evolve collecting a stone (that thing in the dream) at the end of each platform level. This stone give new powers: jump higher, move faster, shoot, etc. Why the aliens would invade the earth? The asteroids are their food.
This is it!
@Kassoon: Thanks!
@chambers: Thanks for your comments!
Yeah, I was short of time, so i didn't remember to add the skip button, but now the post-compo version has it!
The asteroids level was just a introduction, to the real thing (level 2). The slowdowns I beleve is due to the garbage collector. I should have optmized this part, because it creates a new sprite for each new asteroid.
Now I corrected one bug in the animation for the player. Now it's a little better.. :) the problem was other part of the code that was changing the animation.
For the acceleration, i tried to reduce to almost zero the horizontal acceleration in the air. But one of my biggest mistakes was the absence of playtesting. If you see the timelapse, there were none at all for that level..
Thanks again for your comments, were very constructive. Next time I hope to find the right balance. And I can't see you game for this LD. Did you make for jam?
One problem is that I can't control the camera with my mouse, only the touchpad. You could add a crosshair, it'll be easier to hit the enemies. I liked the animations and the IA!
Very good. I stopped at +-45%, after getting the sword, killed the monster, got two keys and used one of them, but I ended with only 3 evogems and no more 2 clicks blocks :(
Greate game! I played until the end! The audio is great. The only problem is the black tiles. After a few movements it's easy to cheat with them. The graphics are simple, but they fit the mood.
I like the idea. You could add some instructions on start and peharps some goals in small levels. Like to get a certain types of plants, somethink like that. Also a music will greatly improve the mood.
I loved this! The mood, text, backgrounds, sound effects. I got all the endings. I tried to make a visualnovel some years ago, but i never finished it.
Nice work!
Awesome! Very solid. Only the music could be better, but the game still shine.
Very nice! I liked the graphics, music, mood. The controls are very good. I couldn't reach the end. I stopped at the part with wings and three lives. Maybe I'll try again later.
The mutations are very weird. I love it. I also think the post-compo mechanic is more intuitive. Great game!
I liked the evolution schema of evolution and the possibility of combinations. But the effect of some of them wasn't very clear, like the spikes and eyes. The art is great. I enjoyed it!
I liked the art style. It matches the game mood, the animations are good. But the game is a bit short.
@Croze: Thanks! The design could be more elaborated. I have to improve this part.
@plancien: Thanks!
@rzfmzn: Thanks!
@optimality: Yes. There are two types: one shoot rocks at you, the other try to run into you.
Other: Thanks! The game didn't stop in the gate. You have to press the button in the top (climb the house) to open the door and enter the castle.
@TeddyNashor Thanks you!
@flarb: Thanks! Also the pickups lasts 10 seconds. and the doors are open for 10 seconds.
I'll put a post-compo version with faster arrows and strenger enemies! :D
@Schwiggy: Thanks! For the animation, it was one of my goals since my last LD. First I drew the upperbody (static) and animated just the feet, once done, all it took was to complete with the legs quickly.
@Venturelli: Thanks! hehe.
@Rodrigo Robles: Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback guys! I really appreciate.
Thank you very much!
@awppy: For reference, try the post-compo version, it solves this problem.
Thanks!
Cool! I like these action games. Well, is a bit hard from the start, try to make a better progression of difficulty.
Amazing! Very polished, nice effects, great controls and replay value!
Very beautiful! After get the hang of it is easy. Perhaps with a doge and a counterattack make the game more dynamic.
Good game! A bit short, but liked the music and the idea. Maybe if you integrate somehow the music with the buttons or letters, will be pretty cool.
Very beautiful pixel art! The game idea is very good.
More levels please!
Pretty cool, the controls great and it have good variety
Very nice and well designed!
Nice game, pretty challenging. The jump stopping was great help. And in my last play, I've found a bug. You can go off the screen on the right, just stand there and nothing happens.
Cool! With Drums it will be perfect! How i get the boss fight?
oh! anyway, it was fun :D
Very fun and loved the music.
Nice mood! But I got stuck on the third night. Any clues? I want see the end!
Thanks! I finished now!
Very beautiful. The controls are a bit complicated, but it's fine.
Good game! I recalled a board of Risk. Then it could have more than one type of enemy. :D
Great dialogues and nice mechanic. Good job!
Very funny! And the ending was great!
Good job.
Good game! Nice controls and pixel art! But I got stuck in level 1 too.
Cool! but a sad ending. I liked it!
Good game! More levels would be great!
Very nice! Easy to play and hard to find the best solution.
The randomness makes the game very hard sometimes.
It's fun, but repetitive. Perhaps would be better if had a larger variety of obstacles.
The mining is very fun and loved the laser upgrades. It would be easier if the upgrades were cheaper. Without cheats I reached level 6. With the proper balance it will be great!
Simple and very effective! Got 10.2 in my last run. I loved the dialogues. Nice job!
Great game, amazing controls, nice pixel art and animations! Loved it!
Very nice!
Very nice and fun. The controls and music are good. I survived until the sudden death.
Very nice! I liked the idea and the aesthetics.
Nice and fun! The animations are very good!
Nice game and loved the music!
Cool idea! Fun, nicely presented and with a great potential.
Cool! But a bit short. A played all the level without problems. Also the music is good!
I loved this game. Nice job!
Good game! I miss those old sport games! :D An IA would be great too!
Good game! I enjoyed it! and loved the transitions in the cutscenes.
Very interesting and fun!
Amazing game!
wow, very polished and solid gameplay.
Nice one, good story and mood.
Nice game! The music and sfx fits well, creating a growing tension.
Interesting idea. The characters could be more specialized and have items to recover the life, or recover with the upgrades.
Very beautiful! Good job!
A loved the bike level. Alex kidd ftw.
Wow, incredible. Add more objects and cutting patterns and make a android version! :D
Nice concept! The mood and audio was great!
Nice concept. Should be very fun with more players. And the phrases are very funny.
Wow! Great and addictive game! Also nice music.
Nice idea. I love stealth games. The level 3 wasn't so hard for me. maybe luck?
More levels of this will be great!
Greate strategy game, it could evolve to something amazing.
btw, I was able to run the web version removing the 's' from 'https' in the link.
Good! Very original!
Nice game!
Very original idea. Maybe larger sprites would help to identify better the guests. But overall, this can be really funny with dialogues and animations.
Very crazy and funny!
Great game! Well design mechanic and puzzles!
Nice! The intro set a great mood, the level is huge and nice art style. Certainly if you had more time, the game would be great!
Pretty funny, but not recommended for those with RSI. lol
Did 1056.
The concept is good, but after a while it becomes repetitive, it need new elements to surprise the player.
Nice game! Very funny.
The concept is pretty good, more work and this can be a great game!
Haha. Very funny, fun and creative. :D
Too bad you had little time, but the game was well designed. The take on the theme was very good, It's very cute and I loved the surprise that he can not fly.
Wow, very addictive and the presentation is very good!
Very good! You guys always create very fun games. I need to learn this too! :D
Cool game! Nice style!
Great story!
Cool game and nice graphics! In the beginning it seemed difficult, but just need to waste one turn attacking then the game becomes more easier. :)
Very cute and hard. :)
Great game!
Nice game! It creates a pleasant and nostalgic mood.
Very nice! So many planets. The conquering is fun. Loved the polish in the guns and movement. I think keyboard shortcuts for buying/view map would be great. Congrats!
Thanks guys!
@CatOnMars: you can change the controls in the main menu. But there, it is named "Change" instead of "Switch"..
Wow! Thanks guys!!
Great message! The sprites are cool. And if it was last year, you could add the brazilian protests.
Nice action game. Very fun! More hit points/life would be great!
Loved the hacking experience, I would add a root access. :)
Very nice! The virus was a great addition to the game mechanics.
The puzzles/riddles were nice!
Great game! Loved the mechanics, very innovative. I agree with the others comments, so I have nothing more to add. Well, the asteroids was so fun and hard. :)
Cool game! Loved the level design, music sync with the bg and the sprites.
Nice game! The portal mechanic has great potential and I loved the pixelart!
Great art style, sounds and story! They created a nice mood. The movement is good, just need to add some bullet/lasers to the attack :)
Nice game! I found it not hard. The camera rotation in the gravity switch is very cool. Also, nice sounds and music!
Funny and crazy. xD
Very nice art style!
Nice game as always guys!
Nice minigames and funny designs. Earth wins hu3!
Great game! Loved the stoned alien XD
Nice game! Very fun and challenging.
Very well done! Loved the visuals and music.
It's ready now! :D
Very cool game! Really liked the controls.
Did you hold the RUN button?
Thanks!
@nihilaleph: yes, for the ending... the bunny escapes, the laboratory is burned down (the black smoke in the main menu) and the bunny adventure starts (maybe?). haha.
Nice story, cute graphics and voice acting! Great game!
Lol, it was pretty funny!! :D
Great game! Amazing audio, graphics and use of theme!
Cool game! Nice graphics and use of the theme. Just need more flashes and shakes! :D
Cool game! Just decrease the size of the bounding boxes. :D
Great game, nice use of the theme. but very short. It'll be a good mobile game.
Nice one! Loved the polishment, audio, multiple modes.
I made 137 points (color chaos with note chart hidden) It was good? lol
Really good game! Reminds me the Ocelot's torture. haha.
Nice story!
Nice game! The exploration sense was very good!
Very vice! I played it several times! lol
Cool idea! I liked how the mechanics are explained. Just needed time to do more levels. XD
I tried the game many times, but Squirt doesn't go back to the normal form in the two spikes (by just pressing space it should go back to the normal form, right?), so I couldn't continue the game. But the game has a cool idea, cute graphics and a fun music!
To improve the game many already said: avoid the slippery movement, place checkpoints, make the game the least punitive possible.
Loved the level design. The soft-body is very cool also the expressions give a very cute touch.
Got a little of trouble in the last part, the boxes spawn was very random, so I needed to restart that part to get them in the right place. Very good game!
Amazing puzzle!
Very good! Clear objectives and mechanics. Loved the exploration. My only complain is I think the controls are too floaty to my taste. And to increase the juiceness, put more particles, screenshakes, etc. it will make it even more fun.
Great work!
Nice game! Great graphics, audio, mood!
I also had the autofire bug, but ok, it was easier. XD
Addicive game! :D
Great presentation, graphics and audio.
About the controls, playing with IJKL was easier.
Can't run :(

Got the two endings! XD
The wolf transformation could be used more, I just used it one time. About the controls, have some problems with jump height and got "glued" on the walls while jumping (because of unity's physics).
The music was cute. But overall, good job for a 24 hours work!
Very good! Awesome art! Has a lot of potential.
Finished on my first run. XD
Very good! I escaped with the book! :D
Interesting mechanics and very fun.
Also great mood, graphics and audio!
Loved the graphics and the music! Very challenging, maybe adding more health or shields makes less difficult. Nice job!
Thanks! I adjusted the physics in the embed player.
Cool game! I Lol'd hard when saw the fights for the first time.
My room (well.. what's left of it): https://s28.postimg.org/g6pnltg7h/room.png
Solid game! I liked the art direction, the level design is interesting and hs great sounds! Nice job!
Cool game!, Very tense! Too many spacebars will be broken (free). haha
Nice!
Greate game! Amazing graphics, sounds, music, humor, also very innovative!
Nice puzzles and level progression!
The art style is very original! I played a couple of times, trying to create some strategy, I managed to do better than just clicking. It was more fun this way. So I think it needs something to avoid the random clicking. But nice entry for the compo!
Very good! Loved the art and animations!
Great game!
Nice! Very funny and good controls!
All your clothes are belong to us! haha
Nice game! I finished it. It was hard but the wall's messages helped me a lot to orientate myself! Great job!
Great writing, mood, music.
I liked how to music gets detuned with the bad choices. haha
Also I got stuck in the time loop. I played 3 times. There is a good ending?
Nice game!
Great game, but I think it needs more exposure. haha
I liike it. It has a very dark mood in end. haha
The controls are easy and it has a nice music. Good job! :D
