Best graphics I saw on this jam, really good!
The gameplay is interesting and innovative, but a little confusing. It took me a while to understand what to do and where to click to make something happen. And I wasn't able to find out how to accomplish the last task, too hard for me.
This game is so cool!!! The main mechanic is very clever and different. I think you should keep working on it.
By now, it's fun, but gets repetitive. Adding new enemies and designing the levels one by one should fix it.
I really want to see this game evolving =D
The main mechanic is very interesting, I see it as a full game in the future.
Just one level design suggestion: put something close to the table to prevent players from jumping too far away. I did that and landed on the spikes, not knowing that I needed the wheel to progress in the level. Or just make the spikes kill the player.
This is great! The art style is beautiful and bring me good memories, cause it reminds me [**The Dig**](https://www.google.com.br/search?q=the+dig+game&newwindow=1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiq6_O-7dHTAhVPOZAKHVJYBxUQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=943).
It's a shame there is no more to explore.
Good job!
The cloud mechanic is really cool and unique, but it's still a little awkward to use. The art style is great and the using the concept of gaia was very clever.
For me, the difficulty is a little too high.
Nice entry!
This game is amazing!! I don't know any other game with a similar gameplay. I was really having fun, and beat all the levels (some of them are very hard) The minimalist art fits perfect with the gameplay.
Just a few suggestions:
- The music is cool but doesn't fit your game (in my opinion). It reminds me a nostalgic race game. I think something more "minimalist" would be better.
- In some hard levels, it's easier to jump randomly as soon as you touch the other planet (this way you stay less time on the surface of planets, and reduce your chance of dying). To prevent this random playing, you could make a planet that kills instantly when you step on it.
- Another way to "cheat" the game when there is a lot of planets is by jumping only between the edges of the screen, where there is no planet to kill you. So, maybe you could have some levels with spiky walls in the edges, so the player have to use the center of the screen.
Great work!
The concept is very cool. I like the idea of having no specific objective, just exploration.
However, the camera is terrible. Your game would be soooo much better with a camera behind the shoulders of the cat. This would allow you to explore the world in a much more intuitive way, and would increase the experience of being a cat.
Beautiful art style!
I missed some innovative/unique mechanic, something to differentiate your game. The level design could have more variety (you'd probably need some new mechanics to do that)
Overall, good game!
The art style is really good! =D
But I think the game has a dominant strategy. You only have to keep 6 or 7 of the second mushroom in the field. Once you do that, the game becomes very easy, and you don't even have to use the other mushrooms, neither evade the enemies (the second shrooms do all the work for you).
To fix that, maybe the points you use to spawn the shrooms should be earned by doing something else (perhaps shooting the enemies by yourself)
Wow, the animations are great (and cute)!!! Very impressive art style.
The wall jump is a little awkward tho (just a little) And the level design is a bit repetitive.
The art style is amazing! One of the bests I saw on this jam. Unfortunately, the game runs poorly in my PC =/ I missed some differentiation tho, the gameplay could bring something new.
The game is good but to much frustrating. I know it's supposed to be hard, but maybe the firs two or three levels should be easier.
The best part of the game is the introduction!! So funny and cute. The upgrade system is a good feature too.
But I didn't find the gameplay itself very fun. Probably because there's a lot going on, and it's hard to visualize even your own character and the cursor. Right from the beginning,you already have lots of enemyes and bullets to evade. I think a better look at the difficulty progression would make the game 100% better.
Also, the art style is great =D
I like the idea of changing the speed of time and the size of the player depending on your position. But i didn't see any reason to switch between the colors. Maybe some enemies should be better faced when you are big, and other when you are small, for example. This way you can take different strategies, and have a reason to switch between the colors.
Interesting idea! It would be nice if you could access a list of the combinations you already done. It's a lot to keep track just by mind (or maybe I'm lazy =P)
The art style is also very cool.
This game is very good! The art style is great and the gameplay is interesting.
At first, I was able to reach the clouds, but I didn't know how to stay there. It was only by reading the comments here that I discovered you could die and reborn. At last, the solution doesn't requires you to eat any plant at all. Maybe the first half of the game should demand you to eat to jump higher, so all the mechanics of the game would be used.
This is really cool!
I spent several minutes trying to understand what to do. When I was almost giving up, I read the instructions on the site =P Maybe in-game instructions would be useful.
Also, I don't know what are the first 3 numbers on the left (they are always zero)
Cool game, made it till the end.
But I missed some challenge. The tasks are easy, but time consuming. Maybe you could add some new mechanics, like enemies or the need to discover the minerals before extracting them.
Great pixel art!
I think you should be able to play the same level indefinitely, without being sent to the beginning of the game.
This idea is really cool! It's good to play a non competitive game once in a while. It's a shame there is no more levels.
Just a simple suggestion: it's weird to use Space and W. Maybe Space and Ctrl would be better. Or Z and X.
The art is really good, and the game is immersive. However, I'd expected a better ending. Nice entry =D
I could not draw a barrier, don't know why =/ Two suggestions: - Show the life points of the egg - Show the size of the shot
Great idea! My game has a similar interpretation of the theme, but with a different approach.
It would be cool if rotating the feet also rotates the direction the player is moving. An objective would be great too.
Nice game!
I like the minimalist art style. The character, however, doesn't fit. I think it's because he is much more detailed than the rest of the world. He could be just a square, maybe.
The gameplay is fun but could be more polished. Here's some observations: - Using the double jump, you can pass through almost all the obstacles easily, with no precision needed. - The fact that the spikes don't kill, only slows you, is very clever. But maybe it should be a little more punitive, pushing you back harder. - The higher block are a buggy when you try to "climb" them. - It would seems fairer if the game becomes more difficult by using more difficult obstacles, not by speeding up the black bar. Imagine losing the game even though you didn't make any mistake (doesn't seems fair).
This is really disturbing, but that's good =P
It's hard to understand all the things that are happening, but once you get it, it seems to work well.
Good job!
Cool game! The concept is really unique. Makes me want to play more =D
The art style is simple but very well done.
Good job!
The art style is awesome! And the puzzles are clever.
But it's a little awkward to control the mice, you have to stop the game all the time. Maybe (just maybe), it should work the other way around: when you press Space, the mice move; when you are not pressing Space, the mice stay still.
The way you rotate the mice doesn't feel good either, but I don't know how you could make it better.
@halfskye You can shoot lasers from your eyes (right mouse button)!!! Another way to counter the higher planes is just covering yourself from the bombs, using your hand. Thank you for your feedback :wink:
@lukesta They are fuking giant monsters, they can take a lot of hits =P Anyway, thanks for your feedback, it's very important to me =D
Interesting idea, but I feel you need more mechanics to make the game really fun, like traps or enemies. Or at least make the map more difficult, like a real maze. The way it is now, it's too easy.
Nice art style!
Cool idea! It's a shame it didn't run well in my PC (seemed slow motion), so it was not very challenging. The pixel art is very cute ^^
Oh, I was not able to close the game, I don't know why. I had to close it by the task manager.
Nice game! The art is amazing! The game is fun and well polished. I lasted 23 waves (the player should evolve more times, it's the best moment in the game).
However, the gameplay is not very innovative, doesn't bring anything new, and for me this is the most important thing in a game jam.
Anyway, great entry!
Hey! I had the same interpretation of the theme, with a different approach tho.
Your game is really cool, especially the graphics =D
Unfortunately, it didn't run very well on my PC (probably not your game's fault)
Didn't hear any sound. And maybe because of that, I didn't understand how to play. Even tho, the concept seems cool. A simple explanation of the mechanics would be nice. Good job
The idea is good, but I found it too difficult because of the switching between screens. Using keys 1, 2 and 3 to switch automatically between rooms would be easier, but probably against the "soul" of the game. Maybe just making the transition between inside and outside almost instantaneous would be better. Nice job!
I don't know if I understand the mechanics, but the idea of exploring different worlds is cool. Maybe a specific (and explicit) objective would be good.
Interesting idea, a simple tweak in the classic guitar hero style mechanics. The art is great too. Nice work!
Interesting idea. More like a puzzle than a tower defense. I was so close, but didn't won hehehe
It would be nice to know how much energy each turret is consuming, so you can plan your upgrades better.
Nice work!
Gave some minutes of fun. Level 3 is a little hard, but is definitely beatable. Don't know if there is much more to be explored in this concept, tho. Good entry!
The gameplay is really fun. Simple and fun. Congratulations! But the music is completely annoying
The art style is awesome, congratulations! The gameplay is also fun. Good job!
The game is fun, but the "out of power" mechanic doesn't add to gameplay. Great art style!
Very good game, congrats! The gameplay is extremely simple but interesting (never saw this mechanics before). And the art style is probably the best I saw thus far on this jam. Great work!
Edit: my high score was 52, but probably could do better if I tried a little more =P
It would be interesting if the game made you choose between recharging or something else. Because now both paths seems to have similar amounts of batteries, so you don't have to choose nothing, the batteries are already on your way. Some obstacle variety would be cool too.
The art style is really beautiful *______*
But I don't know if i understand the mechanics completely (I had fun, tho). What's the difference between pressing space and clicking the mouse button? They do different things, but I didn't get the point. Overall, nice work!
The way you control the ship is interesting (and difficult). The overall gameplay is fun, but I think it has a problem: once you lose one or two "powers", you have no way of recovering. Nice entry!
Simple and interesting gameplay. It can certainly be expanded latter. Good work!
I don't know if this result is googd or bad (or even if there are good and bad results). Interesting concept tho. firefox_2017-12-14_15-53-44.png
Funny concept! But I don't think it gets harder the more students you have (maybe slower?)
One sugestion: make the acceleration and deceleration stronger.
The controllers are so crever! One of the best entries I saw here!
I like the fact that you dont explode when you hit a wall, but it causes you to swing and probably drop someone.
And it really gets harder the more people you are rescuing, in a natural/physical way, not just because of changing parameters.
Really nice one!
Too fast too early. You have to be lucky to make a good score, because it's frequently impossible to dodge some obstacles.
I think the game could just start more slowly, accelerating as the game progresses.
Nice work, anyway.
Best game I saw so far! The trail thing is not a new mechanic, but the gems (especialy que black one) gave the game a complettely inovative gameplay.
The level design is amazing (and hard). I game up after trying too much to beat the first level with blue gems (I think)
And the art is great too. Congratulations!
Very interesting concept!
Just one sugestion: make it clear where the front of the car is. In a certain way, it is similar to my game (I had to plan trafic and turns to make my game)
Great job!
I like it a lot! Beautiful and fun!
Took me a while to understand the meaning of the paintings at the end of each level, but well, it fits the concept perfectly.
Great job!
@dunin I added a post jam version of the game, and now it works more os less like you said ;)
@bryceltaylor @mmason I made an update (post jam version), and now you can influence the traffic flow, so you have much more things to interact, and a new layer of planing.
Very clever! One of the best interpretations of the theme that I saw so far.
And the art style is cute!
Great work!
WTF I just saw?!?! hahahaha
I was enjoying the experience, but I felt cheated at the end. You just lied to the player. I'm sure there would be a more honest way to trick the player into buying the loot boxes instead of explicitly telling them to buy it. It's a plot twist only if there are clues about the twist from the beggining.
Besides that, good work, very "outside the box"
Great game! I was very immersed.
But I wasn't able to complete it. I don't understand why some guys stop to follow me, and sometimes they block my way.
Nice mechanics, but it gets too overwhelming when the board grows, there are simply too many possibilities, and the number of choices grows exponentialy. I would prefere a hard puzzle using a smaller grid (is this possible to do with this mechanics?). Overall, good work!
Very interesting game! The mechanics became a little repetitive, but it's good anyway.
Just an observation: in levels 15 and 16, I was able to win without passing through any red portal.
Funny game! It's hard to see games with narrative in a game jam. Well done!
A simple sugestion: down arrow to break, instead of going backwards. This way you can easily stop your ship.
The idea is really interesting. I'd play more if the controllers were a little more responsive. And an actual score would be great too. Nice job!
The artstyle is amazing! Gameplay is a little slow, but I think that was the idea. Good work!
This game is extremely polished for a game jam, very impressive.
But it's too hard for me hehehe
Some observations: - I don't know exactly why, but it seems to me that the character moves more than expected when you jump. Even simple platform jumps can be tricky.
- It's unfair when enemies kill you exactly when yhe camera is moving.
- The wall jump is really hard. You probably know that, but I think you need to mantain the direction of the movement for a longer time rigth after the wall jump. This way the player has enough time to switch detween left and rigth buttons.
Oh, and the art style is great to!
Odd way to control a car (not very realistic, but challenging). Nice work!
