Really nice concept! The graphics suit the game perfectly.
Really nice game.
I enjoyed the level design.
The game isn't complete but i like the feeling of the control and the graphics. I will give some stars for that :)
Such a great idea! i actually enjoyed the fact that i had to discover the mechanic while playing. The graphics suit the game amazingly. Very simple yet so fun to play. Congrats :)
Yes, it is hard but after 311 deaths i managed to finish it and i must say... i loved it. The graphics are amazing and the controls easea bit after a while. Seeing as it's so challenging i'd like a better finish though hehe. Congrats!
Almost reached the top!! Damm! I have fun playing this game, good job
Graphics are gorgeous and the story/ introduction really gets me excited to play but the gameplay seems a little slow and hard. The checkpoints happening often was a good balance with the difficulty. Nevertheless i really liked it!
Graphicaly it's good, but the difficulty makes it kind of unplayable :/
Awsome Game! All of the aspects work really well together.
Congrats!
This is a real good base to something good. Nice graphics and mood.
The controls were kind of flunky and at some point i could only shoot after my first shot left the screen which was kind of frustrating :(
The story seems fun, but it should be more expressed on the game itself.
Feels a lot like puzzle quest.
I liked the game but the music was a bit anoying.
Very funny game!! Using the saxofone to make the music was a excelent idea! I like the controls and the fun factor of the game. Good Job!
Thank you all for the feedback :D and yes, we agree with most of the things pointed out, such as the collisions laying out strange at times or the simple level design, but it was our first time developing a game and as such there were some rookie mistakes on the sprite sheets making it harder do define the variation in the hitbox of his 2 forms. We also spent too much time on the character's animations which resulted in less time for level design :/
We forgot to add this info at start:
R - to restart a level
M - to mute sound
@spooks Yea, we cam e across that as well after submitting but unfortunately we don't have time at the moment to release a less buggy version
@Jezzamon We thought about adjusting the panic timers according to each level but there was no time to implement it :)
@Make A Game First of all thank you for the nice compliment =D His color does change to a brighter blue but apparently it's not enough of a change to be noticed
Thank you all for the feedback and compliments :)
@TenTonToon The idea around the levels would be that when you reached max panic you'd lose or the screen frame would go nuts and flashy as though he's really really panicking. You'd have to play with the melting / pills mechanic to be in the melted state just enough to get through some part and then transform back before you lost total control. Unfortunately we didn't get the time to do it and the levels are like a sample of what it could be xD
@BlackBulletIV Maybe you didn't notice but you can jump higher after you take the pill. He turns a brighter blue although it's barely noticeable
Pretty fun, although i just smashed on through it hehe.
The sounds can get a bit annoying especially towards the end.
I liked some funny details like all the houses having a couple and a goat ahah and a master of rainbows!! Nice entry :)
Pretty satisfying to wreck a planet, just needed some audio to help the mood of destruction! hehe
Also, the regeneration effect is neat.
The intro was nice and the mood is well set.
When i lose i have no option to retry the level, i can only press ok and the game closes :/
Looks amazing but way too hard for me :/
Maybe if the light radius was just a tad bit wider.
Great entry overall though!
The idea is good, but some things felt off. The gravity around the planets could have some visual representation as to what they actually do. I liked playing it but it felt a bit too static for the experience i was hoping from this concept.
Looks and feels great. Really liked the fact that the world was somewhat appearing as we progressed, like the data we were gathering allowed us to go forward. Great game, congrats!
I like the concept and the hardness of the game! Congratz!!
I catch a bug in the way, i pass under the wall of china and i fell between the pyramid and pizza tower. I give up in that moment, but i felt some curiosity until that moment. Maybe some music, more curiosities make the game much better
The game looks really good and polished. Enjoyed it a lot.
just wish the levels had some kind of checkpoint at the middle .
Congrats!
The game is very good! I most things i like is the misspelled words, the graphics and the mood of the game! Very good job!
Ahhh my head is allways trying to type the correct words hehe. Nice entry, great polush overall, pretty fun too with the steep difficulty curve.
It's well executed but lacking a challenge of some sort.
Liked the idea of the creating blocks to move through the map, it's simple and intuitive, although as mentioned before the controls could be different. All the aspects of the game work out together for a great experience. It kind of reminds me a lot of Fez not only because of the graphics but the glitches as well, which i'm not sure is a good thing. Nevertheless really nice game overall!
Really nice concept, the graphics are amazing and the audio suits in great. It would be nice to see it developed further :)
Really liked the bounciness of the shots, made me spend some time trying to hit the enemies with my back to them hehe.
Very enjoyable apart from the high pitched jump sound :)
So fun ahah. when it started i really hoped to see the hard pain that haunts our child memories... legos, and soon enough there they were hehe. Great entry altogether, although the baby's graphic style makes me feel more of a drunk with beer belly returning home.
Very enjoyable :)
The shooting mechanic was interesting but the controls when going around the planet got strange at turning points. The upgrade system is nice and makes you want to keep going.
Reminds me of Osmos, but without a goal. Still, the physics seem nicely done, with some more layers of gameplay it would get pretty fun i supose.
Really liked the concept. The art is nice but the mechanic itself probably needs a little more work. It doesn't allways respond how you'd expect. Still, Great entry overall
The concept is great and really makes me want to go forward to discover all the shapes he can get. What i feel lacking is some kind of direction as to where i should head to find the ship. Also liked the cooldown mechanic on the morphs, give the game a good pace. Congrats!
Ahah so fun!
Great game, the teleport mechanic is a fun twist on the genre, the graphics are amazing and the audio goes well with it!
Gorgeous looking. I reaaally wanted to keep playing, the idea is pretty fun. You should look more into this and continue developing =D
Ahah nice ending! Very well set mood.
I like it!
Amazing game! just... awsome all around.
One of my favorites no doubt. Congrats!
Great concept! At some point the scope seems to disappear but maybe it's just me being bad.
The idea of the cube world is nice but the transitions between rooms were a bit strange.
The graphics are refreshing and the story is interesting.
The jump sound is very annoying though.
Nice game nonetheless.
Unfortunately i can play, because i have a mac, but i saw the gameplay video and looks very good!
Amazing game. Really liked the diversity in the actions. The animation when they go to a place and back is really fun too. Congrats!
Simply fantastic!
Pretty fun and polished. The only thing missing is the theme.
The concept and graphics are nice but the controls to move around and shoot seem a bit stiff
Couldn't get much fun out of it. cool concept though.
Fun game, i like the mechanic. The jump does feel a little slow though.
I see some potencial hehe :)
Nice story, made me laugh hehe
The audio is fun the first couple of times but then it starts to anoy a bit. Nice experience overall :)
Very interesting game!! I enjoyed it for a lot of time
Nice game, although after a few retrys i gave up on the shooting, doesn't seem to respond well enough in terms of timming.
Cool concept. Really enjoyable.
Congrats!
Great concept!
An amazing game! Congratulations!
Very well tought and executed!
Nice take on the theme.
Liked the story :)
Great graphics!
The intro is quite nice but the gameplay seems to be lacking something.
This game is amazing! The fact that you managed the time to do the space area with all the world selection and powerup thing and still make the planets gameplay is an achievment! Really enjoyed the separation there. If I could be picky I'd just like to see a bit more variety when fighting the birds, but fun mechanic still. Great entry! Congrats =D
Nice grahpics and idea. Gets a bit repetitive after a bit though.
Graphics are pretty nice but I couldn't quite grasp the controls :/
Great game! The graphics are very well put together and the audio is very pleasing. Only played the jam version but I'll most surely come back to try the Post-Jam version :)
Cool idea, the story is fun and makes you want to play till the end. The various graphic styles don't fit quite well together in my view, but otherwise, great game, for 48h even!
Amazing game! really liked the way the story is told from the tutorial to the intro ahah, really amusing. The art is superb and really humorous throughout the entire experience.
The gameplay is consistent and fun and I also really liked the idea of combos, but since we fly off in the opposite direction of the planet we hit, the visual effect that we get from them bouncing of each other is rarely visible (possibly from the speed). For me it was a great deal of fun going around a planet just to make it collide with it's near fellow on the occasions i managed to see several of them together.
There could be an opportunity to add combo objectives to the 40 planets or something alike that might extend the longevity of the game, although as it is it already made me come back several times to replay =D
Great entry! Congrats!
Nice mechanics and story. The collisions were a bit glitchy when he is growing but still very much playable. I really liked it :)
I love your idea! One of my favourites until now! :)
I will don't say anything new, the easy mode is very easy and boring, but the hard mode is very hard! But i like the game anyway :)
Nice game! Good job!
Great game overall, the graphics and mechanics work out nice and it fits in good with the theme. The audio is somewhat annoying after a while though. The later levels could have some kind of way to visualize the entire level so as to make decisions instead of trial and error. Nonetheless great entry!
Nice concept!
Great game overall, graphics and sound work out really well and the gameplay is good. It could have more variety in the challenge as we progress though.
For a 48 hour entry to have this kind of polish in every aspect is just... amazing. Congratulations on the great game :)
I liked that you could see the entire level all the time but the gameplay could use some variation. Also the music can get quite anoying.
Really nice and smooth. Instant fun!
Great graphics and audio!
Loved the graphics. The gameplay is fun and the lenght is just right. Good entry
The collisions are a bit off sometimes and it's hard to understand u can go down from the starting point. Other than that, nice first entry :)
Really like the mood you set, too bad there's not much gameplay to enjoy it.
much fun playing it! cool idea and graphics
