Hi everybody! I'm glad you like my game, and I didn't implement a automatic restart key since I wanted my game to frustrating :)

Hi everybody! I'm glad you like my game, and I didn't implement a automatic restart key since I wanted my game to frustrating :)
I love it, but I think it was too easy. I think you should've made it so you can only charge one phase at a time, or not being able to move when charging a phase.
This game feels very polished! It feels complete, and the lack of sound was a relief to me. The difficulty was just right.
Difficult, but fun. I agree that nuggets can give a little bit more air.
Fun to play and the graphics feels great. So does the audio!
Great puzzle game with challenging puzzles. Very innovative.
Graphics look good. I like the achievements!
Looks amazing! Good job with the normal maps. I thought it was fun,
Forgot to mention that there was a lot I didn't have time to do. Audio and polishing, for example.
DesignerNap: Do you have Java installed? And if you do, which version are you using?
This is great! I really enjoyed it. The web version didn't work for me either, I'm on Windows with Chrome. The Windows version worked great though!
WOW! This was really fun, and in some cases challenging. Very nice concept. I got a total score of 359!
I enjoyed this, but it got repetitive after a while. The graphics were beautiful.
Movement is a little bit slow and it was annoying to restart from the beginning. Great graphics style though!
Great mood. The controls were a little bit annoying. Dodging the rocks were quite difficult.
Really fun!
This is great! It's fun to explore and I love the cellshading!
Looks beautiful! It's really fun to play and the musics fits perfectly. Played soooo much! The animation is great.
Smooth gameplay. The graphics are quite poor.
The game is quite easy, there's really no way to lose.
Great game! Enjoyable to play overall!
You should use something other than dropbox for the download. People without dropbox accounts might not bother to create one to download it, resulting in that less people plays your entry.
Really fun and challenging!
Awesome FX, I type fast so I was able to complete the game. Really fun!
Absolutely loved it! The levels were fun and challenging. The death sounds of the aliens were fantastic and the aliens were quite funny. Got to level 15, but weren't able to figure it out.
Beautiful!
Very fun to play! The audio when you die hurt my ears though.
Sorry for the unclear instructions, I'm not very good at explaining things, anyone got any tips on how to describe the gameplay?
@burgerdare No, but I realised they were similar during development. I took no inspiration from floating point, since I haven't played it myself.
If those who do not understand could give some more feedback, it would be great. What do you not understand? The controls? How to play? Explain to me, I get very frustrated when I want to explain so badly but don't know how.
@ZeppelinCaptain thank you for the most constructive feedback yet! I really apreciate it and I will remember this if I decide to make a post-compo version.
Really nice, it's super hard to play on your own!
Pretty good. I agree that three tile fall damage is a little bit frustrating.
Extremely fun and difficult. The music and graphics are great!
Loved it.
Really fun game to pass time with. Not a great connection to the theme (the story sounds just made up so you got some connection to it). I really liked the drone AI.
Nice art!
Loved the sounds they made! It's really fun and difficult!
Great game. Very fun to play, the levels get quite difficult later.
Nice mechanic, but the game ended just when it was starting to get interesting.
Awesome!
Great graphics and such, but gameplay is boring, click things and watch stuff go round.
Very simple, great artstyle.
Really nice story.
Nice game!
Fantastic game, reminds me a lot about Papers, Please!
Very, very cool, got a highscore of 17. Very impressive for just 4 hours.
Fun game, very harmonic and relaxing to play, in my opinion.
Fun and fast.
Looks good, and very, very nice puzzles. A little bit mind-blowing at times :P
I see, can you try running the jar using command prompt, using the command:
java -jar carrot_chaos.jar
This will hopefully print an error message.
@vekjeft Try to download the new version and try again, I didn't fix any thing, just added more debug info printed.
@geckojsc It looks like a driver problem, check what OpenGL version your drivers are compatible with, they need to have support for OpenGL 3.3
If everyone running on OS/X could start it using this command:
java -jar carrot_chaos.jar
From the command prompt, you should get an error message. It would help me a lot if you could post that here :)
The above only applies to those who crashes on OS/X, of course.
Really really nice story, and interesting concept
Interesting concept, but difficult to understand without proper instructions.
Nice controls, very floaty, which makes sense for a space taxi. The weight made it really hard. I love the audio :)
I love the art and the graphics. It's really fun to play and a very nice take on the theme.
Awesomely polished and very fun to play!
Fun to play, and it looks great with the monitor effect. Although I miss a cool power-down animation when you lose :P
Difficult, but looks nice :)
Very polished and looks great. The atmosphere is great! Good job.
The levels were quite easy, but I like how you go back and use mirrors from the first level. The laser beams look great as well.
Looks awesome and it's an interesting concept.
The physics could be improved, but it's fun to play! Good job.
Very nice! Only thing I miss is a transition, where the level zooms out and zooms in on the new one :P
Great graphics and audio.
Really fun and quite addicting. It's quite difficult in the beginning.
Great graphics, but the game feels laggy, not sure if it's meant to be this way, or it's running slow.
Awesome graphics, really addictive.
The description won me over :D
Awsomely fun! Got to wave 49, killed 5847 enemies, and got a score of 567668 points before I lost. Just pure bullet hell fun!
Hi everybody!
I'm glad you appreciate the little you get, and yes, I'm planning on making a post-compo version, and I'm gonna spend a lot of time on it to get it to the point were I'm happy with it ;)
Very nice graphics, and feels polished.
Hi! Yes, I know there are drops in framerate, this is because of poorly written custom engine, and there were not a lot of time to fix it during this Ludum Dare.
@Croze, it isn't a folder, the download should be a jar file. If it isn't just rename it's extension to .jar.
Great mood, the game looks great. It sort of creeped me out a little bit. The atmosphere was great.
Looks great, and really calming to play and observe.
Yeah, I wanted it to be hard. Might have overdone it though :P
@dsmeathers I'm really sorry to hear that! I definitely understand you, while I like the quick gameplay combined with fast thinking, but I know others don't.
I'm considering making a Post Compo version, and will definitely take you're thoughts into an account.
Thank you all for your feedback! I'll keep them in mind if I decide to make a post compo version of the game.
A little bit short, but good.
Great fun.
Nice puzzle game, quite addicting.
Great game! I definitely don't think it was too hard, perfect level of difficulty ;)
