I had fun playing this game. It gives you the freedom to explore and discover not only different areas but also different 'times' or situations that result from your actions in that small windows of opportunity.
It was nice uncovering pieces of the protagonists identity and putting them together to discover what you should do.
I signed up to comment on this game. (and a few others)
This game is very inspiring. I think it is thematic in its own way and the puzzle style gameplay brought back memories from classics like Lemmings.
I greatly enjoyed completing this mini adventure and found it was balanced and challanging in the right amount to keep you interested without frustrating the player.;)
The level design was superb to flesh out what could be achieved with this concept.
Thank you for an exciting gameplay experience.
This is not only one of the best games in the competition. It is also one of the best Flash games I ever played especially in the saturated platformer exploration genre where I find this to be a unique and interesting offering.
It looks like a piece from a well made commercial 8-bit console game.
Very interesting mechanics and excellent level architecture that bring out the shine in this gem.
One of the best games in this competition imho
I enjoyed every minute of it.
It was very well polished and tested.
Thanks for the fun experience.
Hi :)
I loved it.
It reminded me of Descent on the PC.
The graphics are very nice like this.. however I think it might help if the camera was *a lot* closer to the vehicle..
I am pretty addicted to this.
*spoiler*
.
.
.
I completed two stages.. then got killed by the ionization trail or whatever it's called...
It was really fun, and well made.
The graphics were simple and sound was nice.
What are the coins for?
It reminded me of a similar game on the Sega Master System called Golden Axe Warrior. (an old zelda clone)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Axe_Warrior
I can't explain why but I like this a lot.
Here are some reasons:
It has a very polished feel despite the bugs.
I think the graphics and the sound fit perfectly.
The animations are awesome.
Stuff I didn't like:
The bomb weapon is kind of difficult to use.
The shotgun doesn't feel 'shotgunny'.
Weapons change suddenly, which is ok in most cases but if you are using a regular weapon and suddenly get a rocket luncher than you're doomed.
Good game overall, one of my favorites so far.
I agree dashing around is awesome!
The game lacks in the challange department.
I like the 'heart chasing' mechanic.
All and all it reminds me of Sonic.
Nice work.
Wow, there are more games with 'grapling' in this competition than you can shake a stick at:)
And suprisingly they are all good.
lol at the ending.. love the music, where do you people come up with these great tunes? I agree with alexlarioza & mchnzr. (dislike laggy jump, w > space)
However, I think leaving stuff out of camera is cool but I can see why R9 commented that it's bad practice..
The monkey looked like the 'evil girl' from Ringu:)
The game had an unshakeable classic feel..
Wow, that game to me feels like a metaphore. . I enjoyed it, the graphics, the concept, the puzzles, it is pretty smooth for a 48h game.
Good job.
Yay, good music, the atmosphere reminds me of "Lord of the sword" on Sega Master System. sound fits the game.
Variety of geaphics is decent for 48h.
The main thing is challange and balance. It needs work in that aspect but the idea is awesome! It is kind of like playing Jamie Madrox(Multiple Man) from the comics.
I really like the graphics! Very impressive. The writing and art style is superb.
To me, the collision with the soldiers added to the fun.
Graphics are lovely.. Gameover message was funny. Gameplay is easy to understand and fun.
I was running around looking in chests and waiting for soldiers to slowly heal up after battle..
It was quick and enjoyable.
Interesting idea, suiting to the theme and has a lot of room to grow as a game. Need something to distract the cops..
It felts like I was constantly being chased in the last scene.
Also sometimes the orphan teams split up?
I don't know what makes a game light hearted fun. . but this game has lots of it :) I enjoyed it a lot
hehe, lovely game.. very fun and innovative for 48h especially! Awesome game without considering that fact.
Good work, cool gameplay, nice puzzles, cute graphics.
Very Snes era atmosphere.
Nice game, nice cutscene, good job.
Amazing game.. very simple but with the visuals, very attractive...
*spoiler*:

.. I tried to run away from the stranger and he started going insane.. WHERTE DID YOU GO? I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU!!

ok I tried again and now I went with him and he just killed me instead:)
I think it would have been more dramatic if the stranger was death and you would be the one leading him to your grandmothers house:)
*spoiler*
.

sorry about the double post.. How do you get the normal ending ? I tried searching for a way to avoid the stranger but the best I could do was run away from him?
I got 'there is no escape' ending.
How do you get the 'normal' ending?
Wow.. I'm highly impressed!
Another awesome game.. I love the graphics, the gameplay.. the story.. my only issue a minor one, is that sometimes the texts went by really fast. great lvl design. I liked that instead of having a health bar, the screen turned red.
Well done!
Looks like an interesting start..
At first I sucked and stood helpless and then I figured what the rats do and how to win every time.. you made great use of the LD theme. The plan that worked for me was keeping all the cats together and waiting for the rats to approach, and when the rats are on the adjacent square, I attack and retreat.
It could have used mobe with interesting unique properties like *can only be defeated by horizontal laser* or whatever you come up with :)
I like a game where you have that aha! moment and this one gave me a chance to think and solve a simple problem.
It was very interesting for a small game and fun to play unttil I went through a few rounds of the four cats.
Good Job!
I actually think the graphics are very cute.
This a really solid game.:)
It just somehow lacks real challenge. .
The puzzles are fun and the platforming is cool.. the last part is the best one.:)
Over a very nice polished game that is pretty addictive.
Nice work, could use some polish. The base graphics and level desing are interesting.
This is an interesting take on the theme. I like the way the narrator gives you stuff. I like the simplistic graphics.
Good animation, especially during the dragon fight.
It was nice to see you took the time to implement several endings for the game.
.
.
.
Things to improve:
I want to see an alternate ending for taking the sword and going to the right :)
*I meant left
argh.. the controls I thought them challenging *and then I saw
spoiler
.
.
.
the tree top platform.. where you have to jump the gap and on to the high wall on the other side!(and from there on a moth flying at the top of the first screen) well, challenges your patience more than anything
It may look like a cute game but if you plan on making that last jump. . . it requires mastery of the game.
Very interesting and fun effort, however I think there are some design issues*
1. The orange cat is pretty much dead weight.
If the gray cat is hard enough to control.
The orange cat simply does not respond most of the time.
More often than not you are only controlling the gray cat and hoping the orange one stays put so she doesn't fall into some gap while the gray one is making his way to the intended goal.
This goes against the theme.
It is dangerous to go alone, yeah it is.. it is more dangerous to go together.
2. When you switch screen while jumping up, you often find that it is more difficult since it somehow affects control.
This is noticeable in the area where you can re-enter the forest from within the cave.
It is also noticeable on the way to the end, inside the cave.
3. The cat always seems to jump one moment too late.
This is noticeable when you have to make a quick jump.
It always seems like the cat jump is a little delayed.
Overall one of the cool games in the compo.
I think a keyboard control option would have been helpful..
The way the swords enter the screen randomly.. with the slow response I get when I move the mouse around can make the gameplay less responsive for casual players.. maybe there should be a novice and expert option? interesting game. Starts off too difficult to my taste.
I love the graphics though.
It is a very interesting concept. It could use a life bar and some means to communicate or command the robot..
The graphics are great for 48h and just plain good in general. The gameplay during the grapling is good however, it gets a bit clunky when you are just platforming.. especially noticeable during the first stage and the beginning of the fourth stage.. overall it is really cool, just needs some fine tuning to the platforming movement cause it is a bit too fast and too sudden.. it is hard to make percise jumps.
It was a cute platformer for a first game. :)
I couldn't make the last jump on the third lvl.
Wow, considering the graphics are circles, the characters in the game somehow have a lot of personality. It plays well and it is highly challenging. I was only able to make it to area 7 and then go killed by the two 'bosslike' enemies.
The game is really well designed and nicely polished.
Nice game, very pretty. :)
Yay, awesome sums it up. I can't find the words to describe how good this is. It is absolutely brilliant, the cut scenes are amazing. The game has so much atmosphere and so much personallity ' in between the lines ' .
One thing bothered me though.. I had no idea how to do better in the game.. I don't mean the fighting system.. I mean (that in itself sums up the theme it is dangerous to go alone.. take this! *punches lone student* ).. How to do better in the part where you hand out alarms?
Anyhow.. would be cool to use weapons :)
I absolutely love this game, thank for making it.
I noticed (read the code) attacking students doesn't directly affect your chances in collecting donations/handing out alarms to students.. I think it could have been better if you had limited time to attack students and the more you attacked the greater the chance to hand out alarms would be.:) :)
I love this game, it takes me back to the good old days of Nes and I like every second of it.. :) One thing I would change is that the spike hat makes you spike box proof.. I mean if you use the spiked hat and press left or right, any moving spike box that hits is destroyed immidiately.
There is also a tiny bug where you can exit the screen, especially noticeable in lvl six:)
Anyways, to keep a long story short, this game is AWESOME
Graphics, music, it has everything and the lvls are good.
Well done
The game's graphics, humor and audio are awesome.
Bumping into things was a little annoying in the end.
Overall it is probably my favorite so far.
Not really thematic but an amazing game.
I just played it again, it is definitely one of those games where you feel that you gain skill as you play.. brilliant
This is really innovative..
I don't remember seing a puzzler like this before..
Cool idea:)
It felt like a part from a greater game. It was interesting and I liked the graphics in the pictures you posted.
I think it is inspirational
Hehe, interesting. I think it needs an online score board.
I palyed the game, I figured it out.. I can't rate it though because of the graphics.. so I;ll rate other stuff :)
It's a start for a rpg startegy style game.. it is not too hard with the current level setting but it could use better instructions and explanation of the strengths and weakness of each character.
What! why only one lvl?! and so short !? Finish this game. It is really an awesome start. The graphics are pretty good and the concept is interesting. It is thematic and funny.
Are you working on it?
Yay, it is a fun game, sometimes I had issues with controls.
I really like the graphics. It could have used monsters, maybe you could throw the penguin at the monsters?
I bet you read this before but this game is totally amazing! I am simply speachless. It's that awesome. I love simplicity and I like grapling.. this game has both
So nice to see a game that is fun and easy to learn yet somewhat challenging to truly master.. on another note, I've seen games like this before.. but none of them made quite as well. I love the graphics and music!! This is truly a master piece and to think it was done in 48h amazing! Truly proves that nothing is beyond your reach when you have the right inspiration and determination.
hmm , on my system there is an odd thing that makes the game slow when I'm indoors but normal speed outside?
It is a really nice idea and a good start..
:/ I got two power ups and then I was super powered huge and shooting in five directions and kept taking different PUP's but nothing happend? Is taking two powers ups the limit? Is there any difference between the power ups?
The game is awesome fun and the art is nice.
I like that I have to press the fire button.. it keeps the game intense. good work .. hope to see a sequel;)
If you die and take the same gold chest twice you "win" the game faster.
This game is not very thematic. .
However the graphics are astonishing.
The gameplay is a lot like robot wants kitty..
And the levels are pretty easy..
It was lots of fun thanks to the simple gameplay and pretty graphics that are consistent and attractive.
I think adding a few levels with more challange can make this a classic..
The gameplay was intuitive and the controls were pretty smooth. The difficulty lvl is balanced. It had classic flavor and in contradictory to the ending screen I didn't see any bug. It is a pretty fun game.
I like that you can affect the environment. It plays nicely in the H shaped screen where you have to make your way up through the collapsing platforms.
The only bug I can think of is that for a split second you see the second chat screen before the first.(minor)
This has already gotten so much respone and it's easy to see why this game is popular, it is very attractive..
*spoiler*

.

What were those zombie suicide bomber things?
it all seems very well thought out and very clevery thematic
I liked the sound. It was fun running around at super speed and collecting diamonds. Super speeding was too expansive.. you could hardly combine it with no- gravity jumping. And there was too little air control, once you jump, you are pretty much 'doomed' if you didn't plan your jump right. It would have been nice if there were some moving obstacles so you could get better use of your super speeding.
The audio and graphics are awesome. However, the game is begging for a tilt the board 'gravity' based control scheme.
There are hardly any challange in the current controls.
The game is still fun and not very thematic.
I also agree with Winterblood
*spoiler*
Okay, if you kill the monsters, the prince gets complimented by his father. lol.. I guess it's very thematic. Interesting short game.
I haven't seen this behavior in roguelikes..
I mean where you protect someone(unless it's a pet), I think it is a cool concept.
It was rather callenging to say the least..
Interesting idea where the enemies grab the source of your sanity rather than target you directly.
It was fun but it started off too difficult.. mainly cause you could not see where you are going and had to plan from what you remember of your last death to find the right spot to jump to.
The was a minor bug where I often found myself going through the floor. I think with just some graphics for the main characters and a little bit larger light radius, this game would rock.
I enjoy this a lot and I'm not a big fan of the genre so you must have done something right as I feel this could appeal to a wide audiance.
Pretty cool game, very simple and fun.
Reminds me of PhobiaII
Hi, I think it is one of the most innovative things I've seen in awhile, you have to search for crafting materials and make new items as quickly as possible to get a time bonus. Very interestring! This idea definitely deserves another 48h+ It is lots of fun and I bet you can take it further.
Good humor, amazing music. The music really made a difference.
*spoiler*

.

Bringing color to the world was a nice twist.
It felt like a solid game.
"wisecracking minions is the last thing I need"
hehe
It was an interesting idea. However it did not feel like the player had a lot of control over the result? I think it is possible that playing the same lvl multiple times with the same placement would lead to completely different results?
This is really great simple game and is pretty entertaining. It is one of the only games I played a couple of times.:)
Yup. looks like a cool idea. . now with some new puzzles this game could really rock. graphics are cool..
Interesting game.. I have the same issue with the grass lvl..
hmm.. yeah, I liked it but I was looking forward to less bugs and vagueness.. why am I taking hostages? Does having more damage mean more hostages taken? . . .
When I heal the squad, the get sober.
Does tripping on drugs improve anything?
I actually had fun playing this but I think you could have polished it a little.;)
Better luck next time. It seemed like a good start.
White spot == bunny
red spot == you -> lil red riding hood
blue spot == big wolf
orange spot == carrot
Explanation:
The theme says it is dangerous to go alone.
The solution for is to take this..
You take the carrot to bait the rabbit into going with you.
You use this to keep yourself protected from danger.
Fun little puzzle :)
I liked it, especially the enemies and the last part(souble sided laser).
Good combination of thinking and percise timing.
It seems the best strategy is to spam clones? Good game but needs a little tweaking. I had lots of fun:)
Hi,
I don't use it myself but I think most of the games I played were hosted on this site:
http://www.mediafire.com/
I have no affiliation with it and hasn't used it myself.
Let me know if it works.
I think this game is rather interesting, it has awesome music but I think I got stuck in the first lvl because of a bug.
Overall very refreshing game idea and very thematic.
Hi, did something happen?
I can't find the download link.
Gl
There seems to be a bug when I try to play.. I am not able to go past the -press enter- screen in the beginning..
I am not sure what is causing it but it might be my system(Win7 Home Premium)
I will try it on another computer to see if it works
I figured out what caused it. Enter on the normal Keyboard is not the same keycode as Enter on the laptop.. When I attached the normal keyboard enter worked just fine :)
The graphics are astounding and animations are very well done!
Gameplay is ok, you find your way around the maze.
Circle of sight is very small though.
The torch runs out pretty quickly and coals replenish it only a little so it is very challanging.
When the torch ran out, the game sort of froze?
When I started over, it forgot I completed the tutorial.
All and all a very nice RPG atmosphere. Suits the theme.
Thanks, I enjoyed it.
The game is filled with suspense, good job.. I was never into the Minesweeper game but I find this variation exciting.
I felt it was unfair to have less flares than monsters?
Having the option to replay the same layout is kind of like cheating I think?
One thing that bugged me is that in Minesweeper, you know exactly how many mines are next to the current square.. in this game it seems you only get a vague idea? And also in minesweeper you can touch those squares.. and here you die?
i like it but find it very hard for a new player.
This is the most interesting simdate I have played to date.
I want to see more game though.:) fun little demo
I think it is great idea with lots of potential.. it could use more levels like you mentioned and more tricks..
One thing I find funny is that when you toss the crown to the knights, the knight wearing the crown is confused as well.
It is a simple fun easy game, very cool.
I like this, it reminded me of what playing a healer in a MMO is like. It fits the theme perfectly.. It is dangerous to go alone! take this - fires health rocket.
The game is original. :)
Nice game, good fun.
I don't fully understand this but I know beautiful pixel art when I see it. The music is awesome like people mentioned.
Yeah, it is difficult to understand what's going on..
I tried reading the code but I still don't really understand what is going on.:)
Anyhow I am impressed with the atmosphere.
It was addictive like one of those "launch games" where you don't really do much but somehow you want to keep doing it.
I looked at the source for some hints.. :)
Oh yeah, I played the space game.. great 3d graphics.. too bad my old computer could hardly handle it. ;)
<might contain spoilers>
Hi, I'm really impressed by the innovative idea for the theme and I like the ending. However I think I had a bug?
The first time when I defeated the 'last boss' he fell down and the screen turned red, the second time, he walked away and the princess gave me a hug.. ?
And the graphics and music are awesome too.
I clicked it expecting A) Shotgun B) Race C) Death?
I found a nifty platformer instead.. it was fun.. I finished it thrice, once in the bottom route and twice and the upper route .. the lower route is pretty challenging.. I enjoyed playing this game a lot. I think you did something in 48h that most games can improve on, you actually made the game balanced and tweaked the gameplay to the point it feels right.
This is a really cool game. very clevel use of the theme. It would be interesting if the baddies could steal back areas.. like a strategy game (Z)
Graphics wise it's beatiful, the shift from light to dark would look better if it was slightly more gradual though.
Hope to see your full ver of this soon.
Good luck!
The graphics and audio are great! The gameplay was ok. I found the controls on the grapling thing too difficult.
Overall it was really cool . . . but not so thematic.
It is really nice, I guess I understand you are not used to doing AS3 but I like what you did and it would have been awesome to see more.:)
It is a nice idea for a Diablo style game :)
I liked the plot and the game world.
I can't seem to download it from the link provided?
"Error (403)
It seems you don't belong here! You should probably try logging in?"
I signed up but I still get that error message.. ?
I had trouble playing this on ff.. It works great on IE9. looks pretty great too but I was disappointed when it ended after the second level. It seems like all you do is lead ants to battle.. but it is fun. You don't actually 'order' the ants to affect battle strategy.. which could be interesting.
My suggestions, (1)have surviving ants, gain xp so you can gather a small but trusted group of elite(high lvl) ants to use in the later levels.(2)Add later levels.
(3)Give ants different roles?
Overall very thematic and great fun.
I have seen various variations of this gameplay style.
But this is probably one of the very best.
I enjoyed it a lot.. I manged to make it to 951M before moving on to my daily goals. I have to say I'm impressed by the lvl of polish you managed in such a short time.
The upgrade menu, the title screen, the graphics..
It all seems very pretty and well made.
Great work.
It looks interesting.. I am not sure how to play successfully so it might be too hard.. I like the desing and atmosphere.
I wasn't able to 'aim at the bars' so I don't know..
Cool work anyhow:)
This is a great idea! Humor and theme works great:
It is dangerous to 'go'(die) alone.. take this.. the approval of your peers and their stuff to sweeten the burden of impending demise.
Is there a strategy to score high in this game?
I like that it's an 'RPG' where you 'fight' not to defeat but presuade others to like you.
It could have used a time bonus. haha
I would have liked it if you had to respond to the whims of people in real time..
*spoiler*
.
.

I finished it, the last boss was a lot easier than the dude with the beard..
Was the second boss, that huge robot?
I have to say I'm highly impressed.
There were some jumps that were so beautifully planned. It seemed like a lot of thought was put into them.
The whole game other than the two last bosses was amazing.
Like others mentioned, it brings back memories of MegaMan and Metroid even though it is a new game with it's own style.
It did not have much to do with the theme? true. But it was dangerous.. and you did take stuff to help overcome danger.
Wow, this is the first game I fived so far.
It is really amazing you were able to create all these interesting complicated puzzles in such a short time.
I felt the design was very solid and highly polished.
It also felt innovative to me, I don't remember playing any other game similar to this before?
Hi,
It looks like it has the potential to be a cool platformer, the story sounds funny & interesting.
However, I think it could have used more testing on Win, it is very hard to play. . .
(it moves very slowly)
Also , it does not seem to want to let me press two keys in the same time.. I can only jump or move forward..
Hope to see you next LD with a more complete entry.
I really enjoyed this rather easy game and then I got to the boss and oh my that was challenging.
I loved the graphics and ambiance, the music contributed to the relaxing feeling. The game is well made, the boss is a big difficulty spike but it can be defeated with planning so it gets two thumbs up.
Overall a very lovely game.
I think there are some minor issues with the mouse control over the blue shield, it is especially noticeable when the *spoiler*
.
.
.
last boss turrets are firing rapidly from both directions.
@localcoder: HAHA!!
Pretty interesting concept, could be more fun if you were supposed to look at windows, see who is about to have sex and then send a condom in time.. sort of like a condom fairy.
However please add females if you go that route.
I have trouble running it too.. However I was able to play it on my other computer. I thought the graphics are great, I especially like that little touch with the leash being flexible and dangling around when you walk side by side. The one thing that could use some spicing up is the gameplay cause the concept and art is amazing.
It reminded of the classic game of Qix!
The one where your objective is to claim a supermajority of the playfield by drawing rectangles.
The game you made was very responsive and easy to control.
I really like this. I am not sure how you programmed the movement of the people.. They seemed to have a good idea of where they are heading and avoided concentrating in one single point..(on top of one another) very well made. :)
However I would have been happier if there was an ending.. I think killing all the people only got me an empty base covered in human ketchup and darkness.
This game could probably be very popular if you get to haunt different places.. and with different objectives(like seperate the green group from the blue).
Good job.
I think your ideas are pretty cool.
This game is unique and definitely deserves attention.
I have been thinking, the game could revolve around a cursed tomb or some haunted place, or an artifact.
And tell its story:
1. In 1600AD a group of knights enter.. and are never seen
2. A group of students and teachers accidentally enter during some kind of field trip.
3. A squad of marines in the future.
It should start with a small group..
But as you progress you can have more groups.
Perhaps needing to manage two seperate victim groups that are heading in seperate directions.
The gameplay itself is a good base.
GL with both proj
The main issues are:
1. The first group is too big.
2. The is no sense of completion, like a screen that gives you score based on the time it took you to win.
Perhaps allowing you to lose a small amount of people.
Great graphics! nice sound effects. good vibe.
The gameplay challange could use a boost.
You have a very good game atmosphere going there.
I think it would have been great with different levels of increasing difficulty, for instance you start with less traps to control and less people charging in on lvl1 and get more traps and more incoming enemies as you progress.
I also feel that timing was too taxing and recharge was very slow. It could have been more fun if the game was more simple to play.
I don't.. know about "take this" but it definitely demonstrates the "it's dangerous to go alone" part.
I liked it and thought it was thematic enough.
omg, you didn't have time to make a proper ending? didn't have [i]time[/i] huh? wow, this game was amazing! I'm not sure if I picked the route you designed in the
*spoiler*

part with the two cannons.. however, whatever I did seemed to have worked fine only so I could die in an elevator?
Awesome game, riding the *spoiler* during the last part was pure genious on your part. I didn't know a game so beautiful and lovely could be made until I played this.
I would vote this for #1 game in this LD but alas I can only five it.. one thing though, I can sort of how you used the theme in plot but it was not really part of the game..
Anyhow, your game swept me off my feet, I did not enjoy a game this much every since I player "Another World" on the Genesis so many years ago.
Great job.
LD48 sometimes expands your mind as to what games a person can create in 48h, in this case your puzzles expanded my mind as to what puzzles a player can solve in 48h. ;)
I found the game to be balanced and the order of levels was pretty much ok.:)
I have to say the ending was pretty awesome.
I'm not sure why but I love the graphics in this game.
The story is surprisingly good.
*spoiler*

I love you mommies
I'm glad the evil dyke mom gets a happy ending.. ;p
It's a good game. Nice graphics gameplay and puzzles.
I will definitely play this again.
The graphics are nice.. in the first stage, the dog sometimes gets 'stuck' in a spot where he blocks the way back to the po.
I really liked it, I found it to be lots of fun.
Thanks for making it and I love the ending.
I luv the intro..
I like the atmosphere, the music, the cats rolling around.. it is very interesting.
Everything looks good, only needs a performance boost.
@randomnine : nah framerate is still the same:)
This is awesome
Yay, pretty fun! Though it gets hard fast.. and there are no checkpoints so I slowly lost interest after a few dozen tries but it felt like the difficulty was balanced and the lack of checkpoints did not detract from the fun factor.
The graphics we okay.
Pretty cool, nice graphics, a bit too easy?
Yay, cool game, fun to play, reminds me of Metal Gear, very entertaining for 48h and cool ending to boot.
Thanks
An amazing game, LD or not. I am very pleased to have played this wonderful piece.
Is the red circle mom?
It was fun and light hearted. Thanks for the walkthrough
This game is fun, good work!
I think Unity might not be good for 8-bit style graphics.
It suits the theme well.
Pretty good, I enjoyed it. however the key didn't seem to work?
I am not sure I know what to do in room d3.. is it possible to got through that narrow area without being sliced?
I thought it was refreshing and unique.
Good work, lovely music!
Good work on this, using 3d in Flash10 takes courage.
Overall it seems like a promissing start.. Were there supposed to be enemies?
Looks good, plays nice
I think you did well taking this opportunity to make an android game. First I will congratulate you on completing a playable beta. :) It feels kind of like the begining of a roguelike / Beat'em up sort of thing. Not a bad idea. What was missing is a goal of some sort that is clear. I also think having the control on the corner of the screen is not so intuitive to the player. Simply letting you press where you want to go and attack on the screen itself would be much more fun. Best of luck.
I liked the game and the upgrades. It was fast paced and reminded me of oldskul platformers on the NES.
All and all, very good.
This game was fantastic. So simply and addictive and fun. Good work.I spent over an hour playing it.
This game was pretty impressive. While nothing was innovative about the gameplay, the graphics and music felt refreshing. The grassy area reminded me of the first stages of Sonic. I enjoyed it while it lasted despite it lacking any challenge which is much cause I like chllenging games and find them more engaging. Well done!
The game has great graphics, good ambiance and interesting gameplay. I had a good time playing it. I had some performance issues after running the game for awhile.
Good gameplay, graphics and sound. Controls could use some work. pretty cool.
The controls were kind of clunky, sometimes I could jump very high and other times I only got "a half jump" and couldn't tell what I was doing different. The game has a great mood and good graphics. Some of the inner mechanics and controls need to be reworked a little in my opinion.
Same here. Please host somewhere more reliable?
This was beautifully made. The graphics despite the minimalism and the simplistic visual effects (of spinning squares in space) are simply gorgeous. The music is very good and fits the game like a glove. The design and mechanics obviously hits the nail right on the head as far as the theme goes. The difficulty lvl is a bit on the easy side. The good thing is that there is a smooth challenge curve. I thought the "energy needs to reach 0 the moment you get to the exit" idea was pretty innovative. All and all I am glad I saw this entry and played it. As the Newgrounds' saying goes, "All my fives are belong to this".
This looks more like an interactive sandbox and a base for a future game more than a game on it's own. I like the concept of travelling in a world and collecting allies. It could be fun if there is a challenging goal to face.
Out of around 30 entries, this is the best game I played so far. I got 6755 points. The only things that trouble me is what is the purpose of the purple circle and the moving blue shiny ball? It was a game (that aside from tight situations where velocity matters) even a blind person could play which works perfectly for the theme. The graphics was beautiful and felt very minimalist. I can't score five for innovation cause it feels like a ddr game. I am going to score fives on everything else. Very strong entry imho.
I really like the unique gameplay mechanic. I normally don't say this and I wish to say you get full points from me on innovation. I will play this game again (a rare thing when it comes to compo games)
You guys scored 5 on just about everything. Very impressive. I played it several times and love the gameplay mechanic, challenging level design and excellent choice of sound effects and music. Thanks for making a great and enjoyable game. My favorite part was the last levels, they were nearly 8-bit Nes hard. Very good show.
The only flaw is that it ended too abruptly. I liked every minute of it. I found the game idea and design were innovative even if the mechanic was fairly common. I had a few laughs too while I was spinning around and clicking on the pigeons. Overall, very nice game. The finishing touches where everything morphs into a minimal version of reality was very interesting.
It fits the theme very well. It was challenging and interesting. I liked the mood and the graphics.
Very good. I did not find any flaws in this game. I guess you could say it was flawless? I liked the concept of losing everything to gain everything and the way the gameplay and level design worked with the concept to create a good experience. Most of all, I liked that it didn't end abruptly or too soon like some compo games do for understandable reasons.
It was interesting to play. It felt like you put some thought into it.
The game feels right and it's interesting and entertaining to watch. I enjoyed playing this entry and figuring out a successful strategy. Once I got the hang of it, it turned out to a nice casual game.
This was very frustrating but also rather funny. The main issue for me was that I did not understand if I was moving or not unless there were humans near by and I didn't know what the goal was. I suddenly heard a strange grant and I think went to the next stage. Overall it was very unique and mysterious.
Interesting idea. Kind of like a fortune cookie.
There were some issues with the gameplay mechanics, the fire rate is too high and the bullet speed is rather low. Also there were rarely enough vowels. It is a neat idea that requires more work to shine as a game.
It is very good. I am not sure it feels like I'm using sound. I do like the little particles traveling in the space and exposing the structure around me. It is very unique to me as I don't remember seeing anything similar previously. Nicely done.
I really liked the game while it lasted. It only took me around 10-20 seconds to complete the level. I had fun and liked the solid controls, physics and mechanics (one way platforms + changing the y-axis). Overall it is a good experience and although these mechanics were used previously in other platformers, I felt you used them well in new innovative ways to create a fun experience.
This was very well executed in an epic kind of way. The gameplay was a tad bit too easy other than on specific jump. Overall it is very good, despite being too easy.
Currently stays a white screen for me as well.
Very good entry, I liked the style and the mood of the game. The gameplay was a bit unbalanced and boss battles could use more work (too predictable and easy).
Thanks for the constructive advice. You don't have to wait - you can take another shot while the balls are still in motion.
@Dining Philosopher, the name is indeed meaningful. Negia is a common word in the Hebrew bible. The meaning of the word Negia is "touch" or to come in contact with. The other word is taken from Hebrew and it means multiplied or more specifically "two". The goal in the game is to make the gray circle touch two other circles.
This is by far my favorite game from the compo. I finished it with "minimal deaths" and got the secret treasure. I enjoyed every moment while I played this game. It reminded me of the best moments of playing VGs back in the 8bit - 16-bit era. Exemplary game making and level design talent.
I rated high on mood cause there is no "style" category and the game has a good feel. I just found the mechanics to be a little rough which is understandable for 48h. Very refreshing.
I liked the idea a lot. I didn't love the implementation. It was interesting. The graphics and look were tasteful. Good job on your first.
This was the best use of Unity I've seen so far in the competition. I have to say it would be a blessing if there was a clear indication of why you lose all your score (I've gotten up to 53 and then back to 0) as I read the instructions and did not seen anything in the HUD that shows how much time I have left between clicks and did not get a visual or acoustic cue that I lost my score because I clicked the wrong thing. Hope this helps (I did not detract points for this issue).
I am impressed by the mood and the graphics. The game looks good, it has a great vibe. The gameplay mechanic is minimalist (one button) but it does not feel minimalist imho. The only thing I didn't like is that it ended after a few seconds. It was a little too short.
I liked the idea. The implementation was pretty good too. Overall it is fun and (to me) innovative game and an interesting twist on the match shapes games. Very well done and very fitting for the theme.
It was good. It was very good. The design brought back memories of R-type. I liked it while it lasted and then it suddenly stopped. I was disappointed. It's a Jam entry. I guess you didn't have much time to add an entire level? What you did manage to make, is well made.
