Thanks everyone!
@TomBoogaart probably wasn't the smartest decision in a limited time jam to add 33% more animations, but I'd like to think it was worth it :)

Amazing! 10/5 mood
Nice! love the waterfalls
Oh my god this is briljant!
Nice. Like the little radar and the dynamic music! Had to zoom my browser in a bit though. So small!
That was realy cool
That was awesome!
That's so clever!
That was a lot of fun, and really well done
Amazing atmosphere! Love the simpel but various ways of finding your way
Nice little experiment
Look and feels great, but I had no idea what I was doing :)
That was really cool
Woah! nice (chaingun frogger, haha)
Wow! To movement is sooooo good!
Wow, that looks great! The gameplay feels a bit unresponsive, but man... that art
Ah... it ended just when it started to get good. That's to bad
That was super cool, clever, and fun
That was really nice
Nice little game. Feels really good
Cool. Feels very tight
That's really fun. Kinda wish there was a reset button though, for when you mess up right at the start
WTF parrot crabs? Great graphics/music/game/everything!
Got to 3 digits. Pretty nice. Some of the sound effects are kinda hard on the ears though...
Haha, this is amazing! And strangely satisfying
That... was amazing!
That was really cool! (killed some gnomes though...)
That's just a very well done game. Great chunky graphics!
That was realy cool! Quit a stubborn ball though :)
Man, that gun feels good!
So good. Especially the music!
Hahah! That was great :)
Very cool! Wish you'd get a bit more operators
Wow, that's a really fun gameplay mechanic! If you'd have more diverse enemies and stuff to make your choices more strategical... well then it'd be even beter! :)
That was super cool! Really liked the hacking
Man, that really is a hard (but fun!) game
Takes more than some water to stop me! Nice little game :)
Nice and calming. To bad there wasn't some relaxed music to go with it
Nice game! Takes a bit to get used to the aiming though
Really nice!
Cool. I love how smooth it feels!
"She's such a spicy meatball!" haha!
The controls can be a bit finnicky, but other than that: great game!
I think you have a good idea here, but it's kinda hard to get the hang of it right now
Haha, that was great
At first I was like: this is nice... But then someone else joined and then it was super!
Cool game. Had to use the cheat version tough. That Lava's hard!
Really cool. Untill I got stuck in a rock... But, to be far, I was throwing around a lot of rock
Great art/audio/dialog/everything!
Real fun game! Just wish the characters'd move a little faster
Nice art! Takes a bit to long to get to the "real" gameplay though
I think I got the musician ending. That was really cool :) (and kinda freaky)
Very nice!
That was really nice. Depression was kinda the B-theme for my entry as well I guess. Anyway, good luck with the micro houses
Man that's complex! But very well made. I gotta dive deeper in to it later
That was quit relaxing :) nice atmospshere
3/3 riots for me... Those peeps are hard to please! Are you gonna flesh it out further on get it on mobile?
I've you'd work out the kinks and add some more options you'd have a really great puzzle game! Nice work
Great feel to it!
Nice game. Damn birds and bees trying to get in my way!
Those are some hard lifes...
I feel like my Lama is going backwards! Super art/atmosphere, just a bit hard to tell what's going on sometimes
Nice. But it could use a bit more polish
Nice game. I feel the timer might be up a bit quick though
That's just amazing!
I got the repeating dialog bug as well :(
Interesting idea! Could use a bit more polish though
Cool! This has a lot of potential
Thanks everyone!
@ehtd yeah, AI was planned, but you know... time :)
@Frump haha, yes! That's a great way to describe it :)
@Appocket haven't had that happen to me yet. Was it a really long game maybe? Can't think of what could tax the memory to bad
@miotatsu wow, you got into it! Cool :)
It's indeed a pretty bit advantage to have the first move, that's why crossed lines only have a 50% chance to get destroyed. With 100% is was near inpossible to come back if you were behind.
Points are calculated like this: every connection to a node is worth 5 point + a bonus of number-of-connected-lines-to-a-node to the power of 3 per node. Then the points of light and dark are compared to each other end you end up with, for example, +10 for dark.
Is Sarah okay?
Nice, really like that it shifts into time trial
Man, I love those synths!
Nice game
That's pretty cool. The floatiness of the bike is the best AND the worst thing about this game :)
Damn pigs!
Great concept! Could easely see it expanded in a bigger game
Wow, that was rather moody. And very pretty
Pretty nice. Couldn't get past the big boss square :(
That room with the 2 patrolling guards was to much for me :) Really like that the doors stay open after death so you can open op shortcuts. Also really like the art and music (that little piano motif)
Nice, great graphics
I've made it to the Necropolis! Thanks god for my laser skull :)
Got 4595. Is hat good? I have no idea! Fun game :)
Cool game. That zoom is trippy!
That's a pretty solid game! Nice. Really like the portal sound :)
Like other said, you kinda wish for a checkpoint after a few tries. But that'd ruin the whole point I guess. Great little game(s)!
Really like the temp powerup idea. The music in level 2 was a bit overly dramatic :)
That's briljant
Fun little game. Love the wobling!
Those ghosts are hard to dodge! Cool game :)
Haha, I did not expect to go vertical. Guess the astronaut was a rather big clue :)
I love this game. Especially the strategy mode
Great game with a great use of the theme. The escape was surprisingly tense!
Oops! Wrong window. This game's great as well though :)
Hahaha awesome
That movement is great!
I was npt expecting such hardcore platforming with a character that looks so relaxt :) That wasn't ease!
Punchtastic! Love the graphic and the overal super smooth feel
Nice little puzzle game, love the pen drawn graphics
Love the transitions between puzzles!
Amazing game
This is awesome!
It ends at the chain? That's a shame, it shows so much promise!
Managed to make 9 planet baby's! Not bad :)
Very interesting! I think I used overload to much in the end and ended up cutting my self off :) Back to hacker school I guess
That's just gorgeous! And fun to boot
Great game with a great use of the theme. The escape was surprisingly tense!
That was fun!
Fun little game, with lots of polish!
Turns out, I'm not bad enough at all... (great game!)
That was a lot of fun (and pretty!). Two tiny things that would be nice: A reset button (in case you mess up a jump to bad), and maybe have your jump charge just a little faster.
Nice job in such a short amount of time. I just had to check this game out, since I too made a game about a green monster killing all the scientists :)
Super fun game
Nice start to build further on. Thought it was a little weird that gravity when falling was different than after a jump.
Thought I was the big guy for quite a while... Guess I've got noodles for brains. Fun weird little game. Love the colors
Love the way the game feel. Very smooth and responsive! Great colors as well.
The art, the music, the story. Such great atmosphere. Love that you went with just showing the scenes (smart too, in a jam).
Wel... that got weird :) (love all the little details)
Realy fun. Played it on a touchscreen, which might be even more fun than with a mouse. Might have to check out the source to learn a few things :)
Took me a few tries before I figured out how to hide, and I'm not 100% sure on how to score but it's a nice game. Great graphics. Maybe have the difficulty ramp up somehow the further you go?
Cute little game. Harder than you'd think at first :)
oh wow... it's not easy being a slime
Reminds me of seeing a weird movie in a language I don't understand as a kid. In a good way :)
Love the song (and the VO in general) :)
Yup. That's some good stuff you got there. Top notch all over.
Nice little game, but it does get a bit repetitive I'm afraid. Looks like you focused on graphics over gameplay. Which I understand, because that can be a lot of fun to work on :)
Guess we made more or less the same game :) Great job on the level design. You got a lot done in 48 hours!
Wow, not even the pigeons are safe from me. Really liked the list of accomplishments at the end.
Very fun idea! A little bare bones, but very impressive for 48 hours
I didn't even come close to finding all the gold. Found the mouse controls not super at times, but I'l try again later with a gamepad. I can see that controlling much better. Great vertical slice. Reminded me of Captain Toad.
Really liked how the program broke down over time. Not completely sure what happened story wise :)
Awesome little game. Love the gibs
Great clown monster (wasn't expecting a (rather difficult) fight).
wow, someone got a 1010 score. That's a lot of munching! Nice game
Burned it down on normal. Very cool and moody. Even if sometimes it was a bit of guess work :)
Amazing work. Kinda like undead pikmin :)
Nice game, but why are the blobs helping the hero? :)
Jeez... that twist
That was relly fun and clever
Great art and lightning
Thanks eveyone!
Yeah there're somethings that aren't as good as they could be. Lots to think about that could use improving. Guess that's how jam games go.
And yes, the 4th stage is brutal. It's the last stage, so I figured lets just make it really hard :)
@K.Chplr that's cause it's not verified with Apple. TO fix that you have to switch to "allow applications downloaded from anywhere" in system/security & privacy. Should work then.
@OadT woah nice! Don't think many people beat the fourth stage.
@everyone thanks! I'm gonna release a slightly updated version pretty soon, which should fix most of your problems with the game (I hope).
Again, thanks for the kind words everyone!
@CrazyMinnowStudio I think the problem with the guards is actually not that they are to precise, but that they're to random. There's a random amount of spread added to their aim every time they shoot, which means that sometimes, accidentally, they shoot exactly where you end up in a few frames. I'm working on a slightly improved version where they shoot way more accurately, and that actually makes it easier to dodge the bullets. And to play the game consistently. Should reduce the amount of times you see green splatter :)
Again, thanks so much for the kind words AND pointing out problems, everyone.
If you have the time, please check out the post jam version here: http://kingpenguin.itch.io/ladybug
I hope it fixes some of the issues people have. The randomness and feeling of luck for one. So if you've played the comp version, please check this out and let me know if it felt like an improvement to you.
Just leave a comment here, or on Twitter: @dickpoelen
@General Haha! That's great. Hearing your reactions but not seeing the game was super funny. (And yeah, it gets difficult on level 3) Thanks for playing
Great entry. Could be expanded to a full game easily! (maybe with some tweaks to avoid lawsuits)
Those animations are great! Would be nice to have a downloadable version (not a fan of the web player myself)
Hey! We made very similar games! :)
Really liked the jumping between surfaces. Nicely done
Looks awesome but I can't get it to play in my browser. Any chance for a downloadable version?
Interesting idea, but it needs something that add conflict I feel. Once you've decided that the death penalty is OK, or if you think it's never OK, you kinda don't have any thing to choose. It's not like kill one guy to save many or something. Not sure what that would be, but if you figure that out, then you're good to go :)
Got to give the pills to the people... Great atmospere
Really like the concept, but mashing space isn't as much fun :) I think you can have a fun game of picking of people and avoiding others with the mashing
I like the gameplay concept, but could use a bit more feedback on what I'm doing exactly. Love the freaky monster by the way
Lotta blood for "dolls" :) I really liked going to town with the machine gun
Lovely little game, with great art
This is amazing! Love the style
Awesome entry. Very polished! Love the lightning effects, and Ollie did a great job on those sprites
Very nice! Why'd you go for the mouse button, and not just a key for attack though?
Love your illustration style. And it's a fun little puzzler
Not at all what I expected from the artstyle (guess I didn't read the text carefully). Really cool take on the theme
Nice. Love the sounds. And the graphics. And, well, guess the whole thing was just nice :)
Nice colors. Didn't expect to be watching the sun :)
Great story/art. (could I have killed that halfling?)
Nice game. Love the bard!
Not sure what I was doing... I had some sad music playing in the background that seemed to compliment what was going on rather nicely. Would be curious to see this developed a bit further.
Wow, controlling three plants at once is a lot harder than you'd think! Nice game
A simple game, but destroying those buildings is super satisfying
Cool. I like how you're herding your victims instead of killing them on the spot.
Like you said, there's some things that are missing, but you have the start of a fun game. Really like that when you fail you see the dad at the party instead of the monster version.
The puns.... oh the puns
The atmosphere is amazing. Sometimes felt like the numbers weren't adding up after each season, but maybe I'm missing something. Really cool game.
It looks like the game doesn't fit on my screen (1920x1080) seems like stuff is cut off. Is this a known problem?
Love the pop-up book style, but those girls are hard to avoid!
Cool game. Like how you have to lure the pitchfork guys away to get to where you want to go.
That was a lot of fun. Love the suspicion mechanic.
Fun little twist. I went down on my first go, out of habbit I guess. Then I realised, I'm not skying, I can go up as well!
Love the artstyle. Max has a deep laugh for a kid :)
Very fun clever little game. Love that you have to use corpses!
Great game! Love the fact that you're moon-powered.
Pretty nice game. Why'd you opt to use W instead of just click to mve though?
Love how the guy get's more devil-god in appearance ever step, and great music as well. Only downside: the spike sound was super loud
Love the art style (in particular the colors), but found it rather difficult to actually hit anything.
"oh no Frankie, not his face!" Great/fun game :)
Love how they start running away as you inhale. Bless you!
Amazing art
Hard to say if you're the monster or the hunters. I guess, in the end no-one really is, they're all just trying to survive
I dun it! Pretty nice, could use some more fleshing out, but it a fun little thing.
A bit hard to control at times, but it's a really fun and clever concept. Could see this be expanded on easily.
That hackmobile isn't easy to control! But I guess hacking ain't easy. Nice first LD game :)
Love the Zilla model and animations. Why are those people running towards me though? :)
Really clever game. Just killed one guy (the unicorn hunter). I feel like I can just stay in this town.
Super fun. And great music!
That was great! Only thing I can find that I don't like is that your car and your guy control differently. So every time I got out of the car I had to take a second to adjust. Clever use of the theme
You really nailed the old school feeling in art, sound, and gameplay. Well done! Really fun game. One little bug I encountered: one of the rock circle thingies spawned on top of me, causing me to get stuck in it.
Made it all the way through. That was fun! Maybe an indicator when you can use your special would be nice. But you kinda get a feel for when it's ready after a while.
Great style/atmosphere. Reminds of of old childrens cartoons. The walking is a bit weird though. Too floaty or something
Hey, didn't realize you did submit the game. It's a fun whack-a-mole-a-like, but it could've used a little more time to develop things.
(I get a "custom script failed" error on start up by the way. Game seems to run fine though)
Nice little game. Feels very complete. Those holes really suck you in though
This is awesome! Would be great if you can get it to work on phones/tablets
