Exactly what it says on the tin - I have sworn against the ball randomly changing color right before hitting my pad several times:D Good job managing to give good ol'Pong an interesting twist! Perfectly in theme for this jam :D
Very good idea for a jam! I liked the graphics, sounds and concept! "Sadly", hiding near the big haystack on the left allowed me to win the game rather easily, as the wolf would have troubles getting out of it and attack the sheeps. Overall, a very solid prototype!
I loved the concept and rated it accordingly, but it's not a game for me: I have no patience to wait for favourable lag :D Very interesting idea, honestly quite unique, and technically well done! I wish I had more patience to go through it - I'm getting frustrated already at the first set of laser gates after the first check point =P
Graphics and audio are top notch! The production values were crazy high to be a game for a jam! At some point, infinite mode just broke down and no enemy came down anymore (I guess I found a bug?). The only thing that might make it better is a slightly bigger hitbox for the enemies or the gun projectiles!
Got all three endings, nice variety of situations - even if obviously the E. ending was my favourite. The music was EXTREMELY well done, and the graphics too! It felt a bit rail-roaded, but for a Jam, one cannot expect a full graphic novel! The game was overall impressive!
I passed the 35 meters with what I think was a cheat, but nonetheless this game was brilliant :D The idea was simple yet effective, and the audio was jarringly comedic! The 1400s portrait cutouts were a touch of genius!
I like the idea, the graphics and the music, but I think I have found a bug: sometimes, I get blasted away even when I am standing on a tile with a color different from the one pushed by the hammer :/ It happened more than once that I was between a blue and yellow tile (e.g.) and while the cat at the center pushed the red tile I was still sent flying...
Quick question: is there an ending somewhere? I feel like there is some narrative behind this, but I cannot understand if there is a way to unlock any ending, aside from moving up and down the wire for enough time. Anyway, I loved the creepy, unsettling music and the minimalistic tone. Theme fulfilled to a T.
Holy sheep on a motorcycle, the... the implications of the ending are... oh my goodness. I think I might have given the first straight score in this jam. Holy heck. I wasn't ready for it. I wasn't ready.
I *loved* the sheer creativity of this game, including the scanline (no pun intended) aesthetic and moody background song! The "four objects per line" limitations with the fading in/out made for an incredible variety of puzzles! Kudos for both the creativity and the end result!
I think I have sworn against some Greek god the moment my character fell down near the rocket after the first 3 levels :D Aside from this, I think this game had a really nice loop. How was the "Vrooom" noise made? :D
Probably, one of the best LD49 games I have played. Amazing variety of missions and gameplay for a jam game! The music and atmosphere was also very good! Maybe a flash warning could be a good addition to avoid causing seizures to hypersensitive people in the storm beacon level.
Very good game, but the background song can be a bit grating at times. I've never mashed Spacebar so much while shooting at enemies :D Overall the concept is neat, it would be cool to see more enemy variety in a post-jam update.
HOLY MOTHER OF SHOWS! The creativity of the dialogue! All the branches! I have thrown the piano on BOTH the princess and the baddie at different times! it made me laugh a lot, comedy at its finest! Seeing Baddie McMoustache waving the leek wand or berating the guards was just awesome! I don't know how you had this idea, but be it known that I wished this game could be a full feature game with more levels!
Difficult to get the controls at first, but after getting the hang of it, it was a positively refreshing experience. My poor robot was destroyed one too many times to send those 61 pieces of information back to Earth :D
@misfire-dev I liked the game quite a lot, but I would ask if it is possible to add a checkpoint in the post-jam version after you find the portal. I kept on dying there in what I think was the last platforming section and never reached the ending because of tiny miscalculations...
@fromthechasm sadly, Windows Defender thinks the executable to be a virus and auto deletes it on download. It doesn't even allow me to add an exception, it's axed even before it touches my PC :/
I have tried to download the version hosted at itch.io. System: Windows 10 Professional, game downloaded via Google Chrome.
**EDIT: it was a stupid false positive by Windows Defender, I HATE IT - now it works and it is easy to download**
Short game, but right to the point. Lots of different decisions that might be found in real life. For an introvert like me, who has troubles with choices, it was an interesting "seeing myself from outside" experience.
Hi! First off, nice game! I have actually started from the sewers and got away without alerting the police for maximum profit, which I found hilarious :D What is the difference in starting point, though? When you start from the chopper, you can follow the way in the sewers or enter gun blazing. Is there any gameplay difference? One last thing: what is the room above the caveau, under the air duct? I realized I could enter it and reach an elevator door, but I couldn't find a way to interact with it.
A good implementation of the concept! Graphics and music were very well done, and I appreciated the fact that if you are attentive/effective enough you can unlock a secret debug menu :D Simple but very well crafted!
Nice idea and use of the theme! As an arcade game, it works quite well and doesn't feel unfair. It was a bit laggy while played in my browser though, but nothing too serious.
The music in the underground levels was easily the highlight for me! Good job in making it atmospheric and scenic! I loved the idea of a corrupted game cartridge, when I saw the TARGET with the flash gun hit I had a weird Duck Hunt PTSD :D Congratulations!
The music is cool (but it doesn't loop), the graphics are VERY stylish. The jump physics is unfortunately very rough/unforgiving. Having a bit of "coyote time" (i.e. being allowed to jump 1-2 frames after leaving the platform) and a bit more invincibility frames after hitting an enemy would make it much less frustrating. The idea has a lot of potential, though!
I utterly loved the voice acting and the way this game worked! That stereotypical Russian accent was just *chef kiss*. Disturbing American communications had never been so fun! Thanks a lot for having this wonderful idea!
I liked a lot the "different color for different enemy" mechanics. The game is fun and immediate, but maybe the trucker's hitbox is a bit too big. Sometimes I died for one tiny pixel overlap too much :D The trucker with the steering wheel in the left corner is a very nice touch!
Screen resolution made it hard to see everything happening, thus making me not focus on the bottom screen bars. Overall, I like how the theme was interpreted. Nice result for your first game!
The idea was good, but there was an implementation issue that allowed pushing the magnetized rocks against the enemies to kill them immediately, without having to make the other rocks crush them in pairs.
The idea was impressively well crafted, as game mechanics go! The game was perfectly in the spirit of the jam. I liked the control system a lot, it took a bit to become well ingrained in my muscle memory, but the tilt + movement was a very clever idea to implement this type of movement. Also, now I understand what it feels to swim into a sea of people while having to deliver packages.
Really liked how "Unstable" was implemented in this one! Juggling all the parameters to avoid the meltdown was compelling and chaotic at the same time!
Very fun game, I loved it! Graphics, music and gameplay perfectly integrated with the theme! I liked a lot having to balance shooting and venting, while also moving inside the maze among enemies. It feels like a little miracle that this game has been done in 72 hours!
