I really liked the concept, but it was too hard to play. It was easy to miss the platforms while jumping or trying to hit them with the arrows. And then I fell a lot of times.
You could try next time to make something smaller but with a gamplay that works good.
Great graphics, good idea and mood... I think it would be suited for two players. AI experience was kinda frustrating, lots of random shots and blind spots.
Nice entry btw
I could not play, I thought that the letter "E" on the robot meant the "E" key on the keyboard.
Find it boring. With that graphic ambience, I would rather play an horror game.
It was nice game. The weapons wasn't that "unusual". The gameplay was cool, being able to ascend/dive felt like freedom of movement.
I stopped at Level 4 because got frustrated, since being able to aim down for example would be very helpful. Graphics were also good for a Jam, no one should be minding about that, it's details.
Nice entry!
Couldn't run the game on my machine.
It's pretty and well done, but I didn't like it. Drills keep coming faster and faster and you can't manage the resource's recharge speed. Dashing also have cooldown and doesn't help that much. You just wait until it goes to an inevitable defeat and you feel powerless as time pass by.
Incredible entry, I see the beautiful work you've put in this.
Wow, you can improve this game so much! And it's awesome already!
Oh no, why the alien doesn't merge with the Kid? ;-;
So sad...
Very creative, I almost felt sorry for Jacob! Haha!
I sse were the inspiration came from. However, thanks for the experience. :)
Really nice, but the music repeated too much.
The game doesn't go well becaues mechanics don't work.
Also, why do I have all the arrows keys as options (minus down key) if he keeps running forever?
I'm sorry, couldn't even play it right.
Laughed hard, those are very comic faces.
Tip.: if you hide your name/city/age and then restart, the letters remains messed up. It's a bug.
Beautiful game, music and art. I liked it.
Problem is I couldn't see the platforms because the game was too dark, so it kind that frustrated me.
Pretty well made game. They work really good as a team, and I find the first two levels to be clever.
The buttons where a bit buggy, specially at the third level, but you can work that out.
We think this is a bad trip at first, but everything here makes total sense. It's creative and fuck. Awesome job.
Absurdly immersive!!
It's hypnotizing.
Seems well crafted, but I didn't liked it. The sounds were annoying, which demotivated to discover the controls any further. Sorry.
But I must say that's innovative and generate pretty colors, and people seemed to like it.
Awesome entry! And I can cheat, hahaha!
Great game! I only missed a score system.
It's like QWOP for eating sushi.
The best thing I can say it's the mood, while I try to imagine how is it to live as a sad robot with only 10 seconds of battery. But I felt that the game lacked some objective, a reason to keep going. Or maybe I'm not too fond of exploration-only games.
And well, people already told you about the bugs. Also, he lost his momentum on room transition.
Haha, I had fun. Nice story.
This would be a great multiplayer game!
Fun mechanics!
I just wonder why the so long intro and the pretty small characters.
Good job!
Great work! Timory got a lot of character.
And all these quotations fits the game properly.
Awaiting full version.
Haha, it's a bit frustrating.
Liked the art, but... only two levels. It was a bit sad.
Tip: publish on the Web.
THIS GAME IS AWESOME!
Go with a sword and mage skills and you're done.
And I hate those yellow blobs, they run faster than you. I must admit that they are the only that makes it a hard game.
I reached about day 33. What do you think on scoring systems, multiplayer mode and polishing? Can be a true product someday.
Human rights are overrated!
Got it sometimes, missed most of it. T_T
Charismatich game, wish you the best!
This is innovation for me, most runners games don't rely on time to win.
What else can I say? The game is beautiful, have a good set of levels and the music is pleasing, but not for that long.
Great game overall!
Haha, too bad I'm not a good architect.
Had a nice time and won't complain about being simplistic, the gameplay handles the job.
Provide us with a link that doesn't need repository cloning.
What about the game?
Well... too simple. Obvious questions and one-way to answer.
Also, the text bugged a lot of times.
Haha, funny game. The style attracted me, beautiful psychedelic colors.
Too bad it's that short.
So many Gandalfs...
But I loved the stylish graphics. You did it really good.
Just wow, your game is perfect! Following all the teenager horror filmes, with all those clichés, you made one of the best games I've played on this competition.
There is a couple of game developers like you, trying to show the world that somethings is wrong somewhere. Then, the theme fitted perfectly: oppressors are truly evil.
Really liked your game (pretty hard though).
Not much a fun of text-game, since I got stuck in dead-end passages.
Creative, funny and unexpected villain. Good job!
You came up with an interactive story. The history are cool, the graphics are nice, as the music.
I just think that you worried too much about working on this '3D effect', time you wasted while you could be working on more things like a map and how much rats the player are supposed to find. You know, things that add to the gameplay and are comfortable to the player.
There is a error on the console, I can't drag stuff.
managers.lua:50 attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
Too bad, I wanna play. :(
Took me some time figure it out what are the crystals in this ambient. And more than once, the hook disattached from the chain.
The comments above had already said it all, but good luck on the next projects.
Don't like it too much. The shooting are imprecise, takes too long and the 'goat mother' don't die. Don't even know if I'm making progress.
Truly polished game, and the music count as well.
But there is a 'impossible room', at the end of the first corridor with lots of shooting stuff. There is no way to go there live.
Great game! Love how the film style matches the epoch and the music immersion.
So, to add things, I wished that I could review my notes and the game informed me somehow that I shooted the wrong guy.
Yeah, I couldn't finish it, I guess...
I liked the ideia. The sad part is that looks like an incomplete project, so I didn't enjoy the lack of sound, the graphic style and my minions moving slowly.
It felt a little pointless...
So weird, so bizarre. But I liked it, very creative and well made.
I couldn't get far. Enemiess attacking too fast got me desperate, while I was dying and trying to hold down the key.
Sorry, it was not a pleasant experience to me.
I'm giving lots of evil laughts!
There is a couple of issues, where the stuff on screen doesn't disappear on menu, my character suddently disappeared and music stopped.
I also liked the graphics, especially the background.
This was very creative, really. Put a big score on that, real fun as a dating simulator. I laughted all the way! Thanks!
So much fun and so hard! The characer is what I loved the most, an orienal dragon!
And I heard no sound. Sad.
Can't run ou game, sorry. There is an error on the .sh file.
Oh, feels like that I'm the one being trolled! The unicorn smile is too nice for me and made me want to stomp the flowers real bad!
If you had more time, I'm sure that would be a lot of gameplay improvements.
The portrait of the Frankenstein being bad or good, it depends on the point of view. As you can see in Shelley's book, he is a monster, but got a heart. Not just physical: he is also capable of loving another beings. So, for that, I can accept him as a villain.
For the graphics, people above pointed out about the ambient of an old movie, which it does very well. Wished you putted more animation and polishing, the drawing of the portrait was impressive, but you should have did it another time.
About the audio, can't imagine how you get that music. It's awesome.
And... I found it quite easy to beat. Stopped after getting about 700 points, getting a little bored, wondering if it has an end.
Someone tell me where the drop button is.
It was fun kicking guys in the air and seeing the physics in action.
Although I've made one or two games before, I know you feeling when I started. But I will give it some advice.
First, your game needs an ending or some feedback, as @GeorgeBroussard said. It means that, as him, I stopped after some time because it got me bored, continuing was just pointless.
Second, learn everything you can about collisions! It's one of the core aspects that almost every game have and the better you do it, higher are the chances of success. Because no one wants to see a person and a wall overlapping, right?
So, the thing that I liked the most was the idea and the humor (stealing cows is a funny thing).
Good luck, keep working!
And the Hero mocks you! I ended wanting to play more of this!
Sorry if I can't rate more than 5, in every aspect! ;)
That was close, but I wined! And YES, the Hero is invulnerable, as always! Destroying it's folks is the true way of winning.
I must point out that you put some strategy elements to the game and just let it to the player to figure it out the best way! This makes the game challenging and that's why this is a really good game.
This is a really innovative, casual game!
That kind of game you happily play to pass the time.
The ideal target to this is surely the mobile platforms.
Great work on this!
The character is bad (like a real thief) and was fun to play.
I just wish that I could see farther than this, because the enemies have a larger line of sight than you and sometimes I didn't knew if they were there.
But it was still fun to play, so I'm giving a good rating.
"Oh you are a cruel master!"
Loved this game!
Same as above. Refreshed the page a couple of times and nothing.
A true villain!
I really liked this game. Mostly, because of the AI behavior. They see everything in front of them, they notice dead buddies and they search for you.
The only thing that I found hard was to stab, it needs to be precise to do it.
It's a great work!

I had no idea what to do. Do I clean the entire floor? How do you kill the slimes? What's the purpose of those "bones blocks", are those the fossils I'm looking for? Is there any way to drop them into my ship? Beautiful game but left me clueless.

Really enjoyable game! Sadly, I had to watch your video just to pass the first level, then the rest went without any problem. In my opinion, a puzzle game can't have cryptic/hidden controls but exactly the opposite! The player must know all of his tools so he can discover clever ways to use them.

It's what a lot of people have said, the only fault this game have is how it presents itself to the player. I spent some minutes trying to figure out what to do and even restarted the game three times. But I have only compliments to the rest: beautiful, very polished and fresh approach to theme. Nice entry!

What? The road just ends with some buildings and you lose? How do you win this game?

Really enjoyable. In many levels I had to stop for a few minutes and think about a good strategy.

I doesn't quite work... A lot of people say a bunch of things about them and I couldn't write anything on the notepad because if you click on the icon, the dialog just skips. Graphics were ok, it's normal when in a rush but the music... well, just doesn't fit. If you tried to go for an Atari themed game would be nice instead of a "Deus Ex" ambience. Also, I couldn't click at anything or talk to anyone. Clicking on door on the bar goes nowhere. So I kept skipping time, seeing some people come and go without any idea who they are. Anyway, even thought I didn't enjoyed this I thought would be fair to give some tips.

Ok, so I entered the game, some leve loaded and nothing happened. Nobody was moving, I was only able to edit the scene and nothing more. Tried severel buttons and clicks.

Didn't worked even with Windows 7 compatibility mode.
