That was a fantastic game! It was so difficult. It took me a lot of tries to actually beat it. The way everything grows makes things a little stressful, but so satisfying when you actually beat it. I absolutely loved the mood and the charm about the game, the music was particularly good. Awesome stuff! :)
Gah! You are too clever! That is pretty hilarious honestly. I totally didn't get it at first and closed my only window that was open. XD
Nice job. :P
What a special game. First off the art and sound are really nice and pleasant, it's a world that I want to be in. The game mechanics are so clever! The effects of the seeds are incredibly clever and cause for some great puzzles. I also love the way the game controls. There is so much potential with this idea and I would love to see a full game made. This is so impressive, especially since you guys started a day late! I am so impressed. Amazing job! :D
I always love seeing your Ludum Dare entries! The mechanic in this game is really cool! I love swinging the beard around to hit switches and such. The music and art is fabulous and I am just totally impressed. Awesome work!!! Thanks for being an inspiration. :)
I really liked the idea that you had! I thought that it is very charming and can't wait to see the version that you work on in the future. :)
I did it! What a cool game. I love it when the goal is so simple, get to the top! There were some really nice little puzzles in there. I enjoyed it. And now the weird square is free! :D Great job!
I enjoyed this a lot! The look and especially the sound of the fireworks was very cool. The game was very therapeutic and I could see it going with some ambient music. 2300 people enjoyed the fireworks! So I feel pretty good about that. :) Nice job!
The game actually controls very well. You were very ambitious! I'd like to see this if you ever have the time to finish it up with sound and everything. :)
Hah that was really intense! It's really just the right amount of time to make it really difficult and stressful. It's such a simple idea but executed very well. I want to show this to my friends and see how much they freak out. :P
Nice job!
Very fun game! Gosh I had such a hard time keeping the stats up. At least my people were happy! :P
The music was really nice and the game tended to also be very funny. I liked it a lot. Nice work! :)
Cool game! The choices were really hard and I really liked how they could come back and really bite you in the butt. It really makes you pay attention to what you are doing. Awesome job!
Simple game but it was incredibly fun! The game feel really brought this all together. It was a ton of fun, and it was really therapeutic. I loved the music and sound effects, and the screen shake was a super nice touch. The different levels had totally different feels to them! Awesome job. :)
This game was hilarious. Very simple but very funny, I enjoyed it. Good job! :)
Haha: "I am the Trash Empress and my life is metal as hell and I love it." :D
Cute game! The sound and art style created a really nice mood. It was hard to get the plants to be perfect! I really loved that the game just threw you in, didn't explain anything, and let you figure it out for yourself. Nice job! :)
What a fantastic game you made! This was really cool. A lot of people have mentioned that the art style is really good, but I have to echo that. The style and animation are just superb. They really give a feeling for the atmosphere. I really liked the story and the idea of 'aliens' learning from ancient human mistakes. I would like to see a longer game! Also I liked the ludum dare cameo in there. Awesome job! :D
That was a clever game. I really liked that you didn't want to get too big as well as too small. The animation that happened when you were too big was pretty cool. Nice job. :)
That was tough! It was hard to hit the jump button over and over again. I really liked the portable gaming system model, that added a lot. Nice job. :)
Cool little game! It took me a little bit to figure out what all of the variables were on the left hand side. I think maybe some pictures or a hover over tutorial would have been nice. Also there was a corner on my map that I couldn't get to at one point. :P
Nice job though! :)
That was a fun game! I loved the style of it. My favorite part was the variety of plants! I thought they were interesting in that they had different attributes. I especially liked the plants that would rot quickly, and the singing plant (which was adorable!) The music sounded a little ominous to me. I think this can really be expanded upon! Even without some kind of overall goal I was having fun buying and planting the plants and watching them grow! I also liked the magic twist on it and liked playing as a witch. Awesome stuff! :)
That was so nice. The ambiance was absolutely superb, the feeling I got playing this was just so cool. I really loved it. Something about the way you'd hit the dots, and the sounds, just so cool. I liked how the words would appear, but you shouldn't focus on them, a cool 'proxy' for meditation, but it kind of became meditative in itself.
When taken out of that scene and stretching, it was an interesting contrast. I loved that there was no direction at the beginning, and very little context. It lets us bring ourselves into it.
Awesome job. ^^
There were so many choices! A lot of content for a compo entry. Nice work. :)
Wow what a wonderful game!! The controls felt really good, I loved swinging the sword around, and moving wasn't as frustrating as it could have been, haha. The whole design worked really well too! The sword growing gave you lots of advantages, like reach and getting to new areas, but it also got in the way with those gold rocks as well! Also the variance in enimies was really solid. The music was good and the art style was wonderful! I loved that the sword had that face. Absolutely incredible job!! I loved it. :D
That was a super fun game! It took awhile to get used to the controls, but I really really loved the way you could build your own webs. It was important too to make sure that you had enough to jump around on when the bees came. Very clever, and dang those dubstep bees! Haha
Really really good job! :D
Fun game! I really liked the writing, it was funny. The game looked great as well! I couldn't really figure out what made a game good or not, but still very impressive game. :)
The game definitely felt very good! I loved seeing the forces grow. The feeling of horse riding was cool. I think this could really be expanded upon! :)
I got a score of 9112!
That game was a ton of fun! Radzilla is so cool, I absolutely love the style of the game. So much fun! Especially stomping on the ground. :D Nice job!!
I thought the idea was really good! I liked that you could only press two buttons. I was very very surprised by how smart the game was when I was inputting letters and having the computer read them. The backstory was very interesting, but I wonder why at the end the computer let me out. I was expecting to argue with it more or something, but it just kind of happened. Either way a really interesting experience. Awesome job on this. :)
You shouldn't call your own game stupid! I actually think it's really good. It controls well and it's a very cute concept. I think the only issue I found was the difficulty curve. In the beginning I definitely figured out how to restart the level by the time it told me! Haha. I actually was surprised to see that there was more past level 1! I got to level 4 before I decided it was getting a little too hard for me. I wish there was something indicating how many levels there were! That would incentivize me a lot more.
Fun idea and fun game! I thought the music was a very nice touch and getting the little flower at the end was satisfying. :)
Good job! I liked that it was like worm but with levels. I think the stage felt a little big. That meant that it took a really long time to be able to get all of the things in order to beat the level, and that it was a little harder to bump into yourself. I thought thegame controlled very well though. :)
The game is really fun! It's a good rhythm game. I really like that it focuses on the beat rather than the bars. The tutorial felt a little long at the beginning, but it was totally worth it. I'm not sure how else you could explain the false indicators. :)
Great job!
That was fun! I actually thought the mechanic of picking up something that's like a powerup giving you a disadvantage was really interesting. The tutorials at the beginning were funny (sorry if you're on a diet!). I wish there was a goal or some progress meter, but the mechanics were fun and the music was rockin. :)
I really love how much you put in with just the two arrow keys. It's like a spin on a tower defense system! You really worked with the buttons that you had. :)
The overall atmosphere, art and music were really nice. Awesome job!
This is a really cool game! You packed a lot into it for 48 hours! I'm impressed. Sometimes I had a hard time knowing where I was supposed to go, but I did appreciate finding some of the secrets (like the gambling machine!) The tripple jump felt really good! I loved that it was even higher than the others. The general shooting sound was a little loud and made it hard to hear when I actually hit an enemy/chest. The art and style was very nice. Really fun stuff!
Wow I am incredibly impressed!!! This game is so much fun. It feels really good, I love the music, and the puppy is just absolutely adorable! The style is really strong and gosh I just love it so much. I wish there were some in game goals. I got up to 47 seconds so far! I'm going back go playing it... I want to get a full minute! :D
Seriously amazing job. <3
This game was cool! I agree with others that a timer would be really nice, but you get a feel for it after awhile. The physics was really well done. Nice job. :)
Wow I am impressed! I have no idea how you came up with that control scheme but it was really clever! I had a lot of fun figuring it out. It was a little frustrating at times, but in a good way. I honestly liked the way he controlled, I liked how there were different things you could do depending on how fast you were going. Really clever and charming. :)
This game is great! The song is really nice, and that is of utmost importance in a game like this. It's actually really sweet. I like that you are a spaceship flying without any enemies attacking you or anything. It creates such a cool pleasant atmosphere with the music. :)
Also it was such a nice touch that the two buttons were still just the two buttons on the menu screen. Very clever and it really worked!
It took me so many tries to beat hard mode!
Awesome job on this dude!
This has a wonderful mood to it. I love the theme that you went with. I love the art style and the music is a nice touch. I would love to see something like this with some kind of progression of choices.
Either way this is very cool, makes you think and feel. That's more than can be said about a lot of games. :)
Man why do so many people wanna take that balloon down? :U
Easy was a little too easy, I got to 73 seconds on hard though! I noticed that the rocks wouldn't go through the side of the wall like the balloon would, so you could drift between the wall edges.
Cool stuff!
The level design in this game is very strong! Changing colors and the puzzles were very well done! Though I don't think there were supposed to be levels for this theme. :P
I had a bug where I could touch the teleporter and then finish the level, I would teleport in the next level.
It's a really good start though! Nice design. :)
I like the idea of this game a lot! It reminds me of the incredible machine. I liked how as it got later you started to learn what the different things did to the thief. When the level re-started I would get confused as to why it didn't work sometimes. Overall though good job.
Great entry!!
I loved this game. It was really really fun steering the ship. Multitasking in general felt really good. It had incredibly subtle and great humor ("tentacle enlargement pills!). XD
I wish there was some kind of ending or checkpoints to hit. But that's a good complaint because I just want more! The look and sound to the game was very cute as well! There was a charm to it that I couldn't explain. Very well done! :D
I'll be honest I had to play this after Christmas! I didn't want to beat up the poor snowman. I actually felt bad for him! XD
But turns out he was the culprit! The ending was very very funny. :)
I love the concept! Haha I thought it was very funny. The ai is pretty good! I found that I would always get caught eventually. If you continue with this game it would be nice to see some variety, maybe in the people chasing you or with some powerups of some kind. Very nice entry though! :)
I thought I had rated this entry! Turns out I haven't yet. Sorry about that! This was a super great entry. The puzzle aspect of this was really fun. It wasn't just randomly clicking aorund, the buttons and the rules made a lot of sense. And the song was truly an amazing surprise! :D
The art style in this game was super nice! I really loved the feel of it. The game was a little simplistic, seeing the murder once and finding out exactly when to flip the switch. But I could see this being expanded upon very nicely!
The game controlled very nicely! I liked the concept quite a bit. The music seemed a little off from the setting? I dunno it sounded a little sad to me for some reason. I think the game would benefit from a goal amount of points to achieve or an ending. Also if you continue with this game I'd love to be able to see the saw hazards slightly before they appear (sometimes they would appear and kill me).
Overall a very nice entry! Fun to play. Good job! :)
I loved the idea of this game! It was very very hard for me to find the first thing. It could also be a little frustrating when trying to move around. The game was very funny and a great concept. :)
The music was wonderful in this game! I liked the idea and the story was interesting enough for me. I didn't like starting all over again when losing, and sometimes the slow controls of the ball felt a little frustrating. Very nice mood for such a simple game.
The engine works really well! I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing and I couldn't really get caught. But it's a great start!
This was a super good idea. I'd love to see it expanded. The subject matter is a good idea. Some of the information was confusing to me until I read the instructions and really thought it through. I feel like just reading your instructions got the point across and I wish it was conveyed in the game. A great start though!
The sound was really great! This was ambitious for a LD game! The sprites and backgrounds were very detailed. I could tell sometimes there wasn't a complete animation sometimes but that is to be expected. I liked the idea of the crafting table but that's really where I got stuck. I wish the items had descriptions or some kind of hint. Great idea and good job!
I love the idea behind this game a lot. The music was very well done! I love the fact that you actually have trust scores with people (even if you weren't necessarily supposed to see it. :P )
I wish that the text was a little bigger, also in a future version it would be cool if there was a visual difference between the IRC chat, real life dialogue, etc.
Nice job!
Outstanding entry! I absolutely loved it. I beat all of the levels! And I think I was down to 1 heart at a couple of points. The only critiques that I have are I want more! I would have liked a boss fight at the end, and maybe an indication of how close i was to finishing. But it was absolutely fun, I loved learning what everything did, I loved the designs of each of the levels. Just all around superb entry! Awesome job you guys. :D
Outstanding entry!
This must be the most innovative game that I've played so far. The mechanic would have been interesting enough if you were moving the screen around while controlling the player, but also making things only update if they're on the screen was incredibly cool. I almost wish it didn't just tell me that at the beginning. The idea of stopping the bullets at the beginning by not showing them on the screen blew my mind! Then setting up the pattern so that you can fall down and not get hit by the red blocks was a new challenge I'd never seen before. It was also fun that it masked my desktop! Awesome job!!
Awesome entry! I loved the mechanics of how many jumps you get. It took me a little bit to figure out what was going on, but once I did it was really fun. I kind of wish there was some way to 'complete' it or some sort of goal to hit. But the graphics were very nice (reminded me of Kyle Pulver's stuff) and the audio was very fun and fitting! Awesome stuff. :)
This is a nice lil entry! (Hah see what I did there? :P )
I loved the idea that you can break the walls. That was very innovative! I think if you continue working on this game it would be helped a lot with more powerups! I think breaking the walls could be a powerup you could get, maybe with some resource allotted to it. Everything on the screen was a little small for me to see, and I was able to beat it on the first try without taking any damage. You are able to shoot a little fast which made the boss easy. Still fun little game and hope you continue with it! :)
The game was really fun! I beat the whole thing.
I would have to agree with what a lot of people, to me it didn't really fit the theme. However I really enjoyed playing it! One comment is I wish the curtain would go a little faster, especially after dying, I just wanted to get up and play again! It's amazing how much art, sound and level design you got in for a compo entry! That is pretty outstanding. :)
Pretty clever game! I love how the letters were written and the things they were asking for. I also like how it changes each time you play. It was a little hard to read who each of the bags were for once actually in the game. Also the first time I played I wasn't sure what was going on. But when playing through again, it was fun! Good job on this. :)
I loved the intro and the writing was really funny! "For some reason I don't feel like using P magic." XD
The mechanic was really hard for me to figure out. I didn't quite get why I was using spacebar magic where I was. I just kind of did a trial and error thing.
I thought that the sound was really well done, and I'm surprised you fit such an elaborate story into your LD game! That's really impressive, especially since it was so funny. Nice work. :)
This game is awesome! I love the idea of it, I love that you're supposed to play with your eyes closed. My one big comment, is I wish it were full screen. I kept having to open my eyes to see if my mouse had left the screen. Other than that, i was totally original, I loved the sounds and trying to find the peace. I wish that after you beat a level you got a few seconds of silence as a reward. But overall, super interestng game. I love the way that it made me feel and the things that it had me think about. Awesome!
I loved the atmosphere. The eerie music along with the applause from the crowd was really offsetting! (In a good way)
I will say that the controls felt a little floaty at times, and I wish there was some indication of which platforms were created with the switches?
But it was very clever how the platforms came to be, really an interesting way of going about the theme of this LD! Good job. :)
I love the paper cutout animations in this. I think it is oddly endearing! The game works well enough, the physics of the stones on the throw feel right, and the opossum just spinning his arm around like that is hilarious. Nice stuff. :)
I really liked the tutorial signs, that was really cool. Especially the lines "Avoid these"... "And these". I thought that was pretty funny and clever.
The sound effect when getting hit sounded like a good thing almost! :P One thing that confused me was the time that appeared and counted down upon receiving a star. I wasn't sure why that was there.
Fun game overall! Great job on finishing it!
I escaped the room!
This was a very intriguing beginning. I really wanted to keep playing through to the end. I kind of wanted to get to know the characters a little bit more, I know they didn't have any old memories? But it would have been nice to see a moment of them playing with the stuff together in the room or something along those lines. This was a pretty long game for a LD game! So awesome job on that.
The game reminded me of 999 a little bit (which can only be a really good thing, I think you'd like that game if you haven't played it already). If you were to expand on it, you could make a puzzle to get each of the stones.
Great idea!
I love the idea of a space pizza delivery. It makes sense with the gameplay and the two gauges that you have to keep track of with the game. I had fun playing it until one level just got me. (flying in between the two lines of fog with three pizzas to deliver). I think it's a really nice entry overall! Awesome job. :)
The mouse was cute and the music was good!
I think the hit detection was a little off. There were a lot of times I wasn't close to one of the boxes and I would get stuck. I wasn't really sure how to restart. Sometimes there were lulls of no boxes and then other times there were a ton.
Fun idea, I love how he'd run faster if the cursor was further away!
This had quite a lot of content for a jam game! It did move a little slow and I had a tough time digging in random places to find some of the things. However I really liked the propaganda system (though a little creepy!) it worked really well. It was fun to sell off other items for money this way or having to tell Marine with two people that her place was infested with radioactive rats. :P
Fun game! Awesome job on it. :)
Great entry!
I thought it was really clever with the theme of the jam. I had some trouble with the bug's attacks like a few other people. I think it's great that you implemented a leader board! The first arcade style game I've seen in LD that actually has one, and it's clever how it's on the monitor. :)
What an stunningly beautiful game, not even thinking about how much time it was made in. The music and atmosphere is absolutely amazing. The way the dragon moves with your cursor is flawless. The actual movements of the dragon as well as the animations is just so well done. It's simple, but in a good way. Such a pleasure.
This really shows how important atmosphere is in games. Absolutely cannot wait to see if you continue with this game. :D
The game was really funny. I loved the music and the ending made me go 'wtf?' in a good way. :P
I liked the control, moving the bouncy snowman to the beat of the music was fun... But I was just clicking around and going to random places and I won within 2 minutes. I wasn' quite sure where to go or why. XD
Still fun though. :)
Oh my gosh I finally beat it!
Sweet game, I thought it controlled pretty well! Especially for a jam game. I might say it felt a little slidey, but I got used to it eventually. :)
Couple of critiques:
-I didn't like the hidden spikes. I know it's supposed to be a rage game but everything else felt fair. Especially with every other obstacle you learn how it works and how to surpass it, but there's no way of knowing where a hidden spike is unless you die to it. Maybe if the tiles below the spikes were a different color to indicate that there were hidden spikes, then you could use that color in other places where there aren't actually spikes to fool the player. (Kind of like in 1001 spikes) Just so the player has some indication that there *might* be a trap there and I won't feel cheated. Again I say this because it's the only aspect of the game where I felt cheated. (Especially the middle spike on level 14. XD)
-I *loved* the laser concept. I love that by the end of the game you can't see them, but you can learn by then that they are on the same timer and you can see them from somewhere else on he screen. That's really utilizing the theme of the jam! I wish that there was one laser in an earlier level because I would always have to sit really close to my monitor to see the laser. :P
Awesome stuff! Contgrats on finishing this. It was put together very well.
Super fun game! I really really liked it. The game reminded me of Within A Deep Forest! ^^
I played until I collected all of the stars and beat the level a few times. I couldn't figure out how to get the easter egg though! D:
A couple of really nitpick comments: I wish that the ball moved with the moving platforms. Also getting the tennis ball to bounce under a platform could be a little frustrating.
Still awesome level design. I learned how to play because of how the level was layed out. I don't think it's possible to get stuck and some of the puzzles were very clever! I also really liked how I thought I was getting to the finish until I got really close, then had to go all the way around the screen. After winning I felt like I really knew the game very well.
Awesome job you guys! :D
Super cool! All my criticisms are "I want more!" :D
The way the game controlled felt very good, I loved pushing people back. I would have liked a goal number to hit, maybe levels or powerups.
I love the way the instructions were written, that's awesome. Also the game looks wonderful. Awesome stuff!
Haha I loved the story at the beginning, I don't know why you teleport somewhere else after that though. I wish when restarting you would just restart from the level. Another thing which might be nice to add is an indicator of how close they are to chasing you, it doesn't really make sense to look behind yourself. Awesome job in getting this done in such a short time!
A lot of people mentioned that the text was really slow. I would have to agree! And it was a little hard to read. I liked the concept a lot! Just a one room point and click adventure. Perhaps a couple more clues on what to do when using the magnifying glass on some things. The dragon was really cute. :)
The music and the sound effects were perfect, it made the game very tense. Those sirens at the end!
Somehow I was able to drop off/pick up multiple hammers? I did it by accident by clicking around. I don't need more murder weapons! :P
The blueprint style was very interesting, I liked it. :) It's like the murderer was planning everything out in his head. Sometimes it made things confusing whether I could click them or not, mainly because everything was white.
Awesome job! :)
This is an incredibly innovative game. I love the logs at the end. If there were an expanded version of this where you could make more choices in-between the days (like maybe sending more supplies or backup) I would definitely play it.
This was actually really really fun! The level design was really good. It taught you throughout each room but also played with your expectations at every turn, but not in an unfair way. I really liked it! This was a really good idea. Also showing you the real pattern at the end was a nice touch! Sweet job dude. :)
Sweet game! That is a really cool idea. I love switching between attacking the boss and trying to mitigate all of the hives around you. I wish I could have had control of swinging the sword around myself, but overall it was fun and I loved the aesthetic! Awesome job. :)
I really liked that you had to scroll your mouse over the title screen to find out that you had to press space. It was confusing what things were and I had a hard time learning how to play a bit. The fact that the cave kept changing was really cool. Nice job on finishing! :)
Haha that was super funny!
I really liked the way that the yeti would bounce, it felt really nice and led to a lot of good maneuvers! I wish there was some sort of goal to hit. But overall a very fun game! I like that it takes place on a movie screen, very nice touch! :)
Haha I love how ridiculously high the numbers got! XD The game could use some challenge to it but... I kept playing it for awhile. :P
Hah that game was really hard! I like how it just threw you into it and told you to press the buttons. When I hit something it really scared me! The sound design and art are really strong. :)
I had fun with this game! I got to day 6. I kind of wish there was a goal day to reach or something. And the game did move a bit slow, sometimes I just wanted to skip to the next scene.
With the addition of more types of things to place and different enemies, this game could be really great! :)
I beat it! :)
I think some dynamic jump controls would have helped out a lot (like being able to let go of the spacebar to stop your jump in mid-air).
Also I had a hard time seeing the tentacles! Usually I died before I even saw them.
Great job on finishing the game!
So overall this game was fun.
I found the controls to be a little sluggish, and a lot of the information was hard to understand (couldn't see the switches, didn't understand where the spikes were going to impale to at first). Once I understood it was a lot better.
I think the actual theme of the jam hurt this game. I would have liked to have been able to see each of the levels full screen.
But... The level design is actually really really good! There are lots of interesting action challenges and puzzles in here! I really like that, with some polish it could really stand out. :)
Wow, incredible game! I absolutely loved it!!
I just played through the first time, it was fun messing around with the funny answers. It was very clever how some people required different types of answers, especially the girl with the hand problem. :)
The presentation was incredible for a jam game, great art, great voice acting! Wonderful atmosphere.
I thoroughly enjoyed the game and am very impressed with it. Definitely going to return to play it again. Awesome job. :)
Yeah! You finished your first jam game too! *High five* :D
It's a fun little game! I like the different weapons, jumping through platforms, it feels pretty good!
If you continue with it, I would definitely add some more variety of enemies. Also I think the health system is a little weird. I could run through a lot of zombies and hardly get hurt, not to mention so many enemies would drop resources (especially health packs). I was never low on ammo or health. I think a few hit point system (like 3-5 hearts) would fit this game better.
Overall though cool game! And an awesome first LD submission! ^^
Oh my gosh! Beating that game felt like a miracle! I ended up just trying to get to the end without killing any of the ships. Haha I loved the happy holidays message at the end. :)
Sweet game! It controlled pretty well, though it was a little slow for me, especially once you got the weight tied to you. XD I really liked the text in-between each of the levels and the way that they changed while maintaining the same screen was really clever! Awesome job. :D
I love that you guys made the game together. I kept placing more than one hut at once on accident.
The game looks and sounds absolutely beautiful! I am in love with the art style, super well done. :D
Yeah story mode I'm sure fits it a lot better then scoring for killing the demons. It's actually pretty easy to exploit right now, just by going into the bathroom and shining your light outside. I have it going right now and demons keep running into the light (killed 31 so far). XD
However it's an amazing start! When I play it pretending that I have to walk around to different locations, it's rather spooky and very challenging! Awesome work guys.
I liked the idea of the game a lot! Man Santa is a huge jerk apparently. :O
One comment is it keeps the dialogue options all the time, so I could say a response to something that happened way earlier in the conversation.
Wow that was incredibly clever. That is absolutely the best use of theme! :D
It was really fun too! Not only did it follow the theme but it's a super cool gameplay mechanic.
The cat boss was really funny and unexpected, but it was a little less polished than the rest of the game. Still super great job guys! :D
What a wonderful concept for the game! That is a really innovative gameplay mechanic!
It takes a really long time for everyone to charge up. If it moved faster it would have been more fun. However it looks and sounds gorgeous and it's a great idea for a game! Great job you guys!!
Super fun game!
It took me quite awhile to figure out exactly what I was doing. What really got me is it took me like 2 game overs before I realized I could mix the same color! Haha then I had a ton of fun! I ended up making 49 orders before losing!
I wish there was some kind of progression and levels. That would add a lot!
The game looks amazing. Great job on it!
Sweet game! It was very intense. Ohhhh the couple times I got caught was so devastating!
Very fun! Challenging in a good way. Winning was so rewarding. Only thing is it didn't fit my screen so I had to scroll down? And then the arrow keys weren't working and I lost! Haha
This is the best Ludum Dare game I've ever played!
I juggle all the time in real life and this simulates it super well! Adding all of the extra challenges, getting to pick two between levels, very sweet. I can't believe the snowman blew up on losing!! XD
My *only* criticism is I noticed that when the screen shakes, there's no background on the top.
The music, sound effects, and graphics are super charming. Amazing job! :D
GTA Meets pacman! That was really good! Intensely ambitious for a compo game. :O
My only criticism is I wish I knew how many missions there were from the beginning. Other than that very well done!
Super fun game! I love how it kept escalating. The theme was really good and the music and sound were really good.
After I beat the third boss I got stuck in the side of the wall of the tv? Not sure why that happened!
Anyways awesome stuff! :)
Sweet game! Haha the snowman is really funny. I got up to 1046! I wish there were some kind of like achievement goals to hit with the score? Also I couldn't figure out why to throw the snowman's head. Really fun overall!
Awesome puzzle game! The tutorial levels were set up nicely, and it was very unique! I really had to think to finish the puzzles.
There was a huge spike in difficulty which you already knew about, and I wish there was some indicator of how far along in the game I was. (Out of how many levels for instance)
Dudos on using the snowman. :)
I love the theme of a kiwi eating kiwis! That is so cute.
Walking on each side of the wall is a really cool idea. I think it would be cool that when you jump to a wall, if you could stick to it in the air. It would give a better sense of control.
I wish that the canons in the corners would be outside of the stage a little bit, It made me not want to change walls because I thought I might get shot at and instantly hit.
Great game though! Good job. :)
Suuuuper fun game!!
Kudos on the controller support! That is great (though i would have loved to use the dpad. :P )
Also multiplayer and different forms of multiplayer! I'm going to try this out with some friends!
One criticism (Which is always so hard on a jam game) is I wished the moving platforms indicated when they were about to go electric.
But the goat is super cute and I super enjoyed it.
Fun game! I laughed quite a few times at what would happen, and I absolutely love the character portraits!
It's weird giving criticism on a jam game because I know it wouldn've been solved with more time, but here were a couple thoughts:
-A lot of the time I don't read the "And..." until a lot later. If in a battle, I end up just looking at that. If I get a game over screen, I can't see it at all! Something just killed me. :O
-Once selecting a race/gender (female duck of course!) I can't change it, but can still click the button.
But overall it's an awesome jam game! Good job you guys. :D
LD35 — Shapeshift (51)
ShapeShifter by ndebruyn 2016-05-08T23:42:00
This was pretty good! I really liked the concept. At the end of the second level, I was worried that it would be too easy, but when the spikes were added in level 3, I realized there was a lot you could do with this concept! Very cool game. Great job. :)
Sluggy's Tiny Adventure by FrankieSmileShow 2016-05-08T23:36:00
This was a great entry. THe animations and art were really solid. I absolutely loved that you start in the bottle and have to break out! That is very cool. The atmosphere in this was so eerie! Not what I expected after seeing the trailer for the steam version. Best of luck on that by the way!!! It looks very cool. :)
Slime Quest by QuexD 2016-05-08T23:28:00
I thought this was a great entry! The idea was solid, and each of the abilities had multiple implications. I came across a couple of technical issues (getting stuck in a box and not being able to get out, etc.) and the controls could be tightened up a little, but overall it was very good! I especially really liked the last level. That was a lot of fun. Nice work!! :)
Party at the Knightclub by Elisée and friends 2016-05-08T23:21:00
What a fantastic game! I'm so impressed with how much you got done in the jam. The style was so great, I'd absolutely play through a bigger version of this game! I loved all of the designs and the humor. Great job!! :)
Operation R.E.P.T.I.L.E. by Jungle 2016-05-08T23:06:00
What a clever little game! I loved this entry. The first time I played it, I wasn't quite sure what I was doing. But I started to get the hang of it! The tells were very subtle but it was really fun to spot them. Great job on this. :)
Devil's Hand by Kuupu 2016-05-08T19:27:00
Great game! I love the aesthetics of the pixels on top of the 3D world. It looked and felt really great! I'm not really sure what it has to do with shapeshifting, but great job overall. :)
Swim Away! by Sabina Lis 2016-05-08T18:36:00
This was a fun game! I really liked the idea that you go faster when you are lower. It took me a little while to realize that the reefs at the bottom would push me back, but that might just be a small visual thing. Also I think when you are big, it should just push you back towards the left of the screen, and not push you back score wise because that didn't feel fun. Otherwise the game was really cool! Great work. :)
Square Peg Round Hole by RealityCheck 2016-05-08T18:31:00
I really love the concept of this game, but man was it hard! I tried about 5 times on easy and I couldn't get it. Every game I had a hand full of cards I couldn't use, and used all my points to discard cards, to no avail. Still I love the idea, I think there could be another mechanic that adds in an additional way to get/change your cards. I love the concept though and I think it has a ton of potential! Great work. :)
glEscape() by abcdef65g 2016-05-08T18:24:00
The game was fun! I liked how he'd change the position of all of the shapes to change form! That was cool. I thought when you were in the jumping form, you'd float back down very slowly. Also the two forms I used mainly were the first one and the jumping one. I had a hard time justifying switching to the others while in a fight. Still, nice job on this!!
Geometry Shifter by gustavopereira1 2016-05-06T07:06:00
Great entry! I loved the aesthetics of the shapes. At first I thought it was really simple, but then when it started to speed up, it was suuuper fun! I was impressed. The music was super fitting as well. Great job! :)
Maze Runner by varuns 2016-05-06T07:03:00
Really fun game! I liked the spin that you put on it. A maze that changes shape on you is an interesting idea. It was satisfying to finally complete it! I'd play more if you continue in the future. Nice job! :)
P.M.O.B.: Push Man Off Building! by Dunric 2016-05-06T06:56:00
I have to say that is one of the most strangely weird and fun things I have ever played. XD I couldn't stop having him pelvic thrust cars up into the air! Haha that was really entertaining! I love this entry. :D
RobotJet by janiq 2016-05-06T06:52:00
The idea behind the game was great! I really liked the idea that you could lead the robot by placing obstacles. I do have to say the first level was very daunting after the tutorial. But still, very nice concept! Nice entry. :)
Rue Printemps by Yakka 2016-05-06T06:48:00
Very cute! The art and mood are nice.
doppel trouble by blob 2016-05-06T06:45:00
What a great entry! It was really fun. I had fun trying to find the people alone, though it was hard because it took so long to crunch the humans down! I loved that there were two phases too, very unique and cool! Nice job. :)
Shape/Shift by yuigoto 2016-05-06T06:39:00
This is an interesting take on a classic puzzle game! I really liked the music, it gave a great feel while playing. The challenge is in learning the timing of when the blocks are going to change so you don't click and accidentally lose your combo! Nice job on this. :)
Jeremy Ooi by jemooi 2016-05-06T06:35:00
What a great entry! I loved the concept of it. It's definitely fun to play as the monster. I felt bad for a couple of those humans. The animations were pretty great. :) Why can't we vote for overall? Good job on this!
Shifter by Blobby101 2016-05-06T06:27:00
This was a very fun game! It took me a little while to get used to the rectangle holes, but once I got used to it, the game had a very nice flow to it! I loved that there was controller support, and the music was awesome. Great job!
ShifterMaze by drentsoft 2016-05-06T06:21:00
I liked the take on the theme! Shapeshifting to go through a maze is a good idea. Nice job! :)
The Great Leap by Louspirit 2016-05-06T06:18:00
Fun game! I do like runners. I do kind of wish that death was a little more forgiving, but still it was fun! Great job. :)
Nyamo's Adventure by DDRKirby(ISQ) 2016-05-05T08:32:00
What a charming little game! The music is absolutely incredible. The art and style really pull it all together. I really liked all of the transformations and I really started to care about the little guy. This is a super good entry! Very nice job. :D
Pixel Pets by uheartbeast 2016-05-05T08:26:00
This game is adorable! I loved the little monster that I was raising. The art was so charming. I loved the concept and would even like to see it expanded upon more! Great work. :)
SPELLDOWN! by pixelpotions 2016-05-05T08:22:00
The art is great in this! I love the style and the atmosphere it creates. I think this game could be really expanded upon by choosing different kinds of magic spells that you want to cast, maybe some are more complicated to draw but create different effects. Very nice entry! It became a lot easier with my tablet too! Haha. :)
SUPER SHIFTER by Ellian 2016-05-05T08:19:00
What an incredibly clever idea! I love the concept of stealing pieces from other ships and you executed on the idea perfectly! The art and sound are also really nice. Sweet job! :D
BOT RACE by NickZangus 2016-05-05T08:13:00
This was a fun game! My partner for the jam and I played this for quite a while after we finished our game. We loved the character and the atmosphere of the game! We beat each others scores for awhile. Super nice entry. :)
Wobble Yoga by q_dork 2016-05-05T08:11:00
Lol! Omg that was so funny... And difficult! It was so hard, but felt so good to get into the right pose! That was a ton of fun. Awesome job on this! :D
Cyan by rxi 2016-05-05T08:08:00
I loved the mechanic of transforming and being able to jump and flap around. :) The music and pixel art were great! Really brought the whole thing together. Nice job!
windowframe by managore 2016-05-05T08:05:00
That might be the best Ludum Dare game I've ever played. What an outstanding mechanic. Not only was it cool and interesting, but it was so well developed! You really used that idea to it's absolutely full potential. What an amazing job. You have inspired me greatly. Incredible job!!!
Vogue Ninja by TijmenTio 2016-05-05T07:42:00
The animations and sounds were very nice! Gave a lot of charm to it. Nice work. :)
Liborio the Shapemancer by MightyToastStudio 2016-05-05T07:37:00
What a great entry! There is a lot of charm to this game. I love the idea behind being able to transform into the different animals and things. It was cool escaping from jail that way, and it was interesting which being would work against others. Nice job!
Shape Wars by DRGY 2016-05-05T07:30:00
This game has a lot of story behind it for being about shapes! I liked the premise a lot. Sometimes I would get lost and I wished that I could see more of the area around me. But still really solid entry! Great job on it. :)
An Abnormality by TheCain 2016-05-05T07:25:00
I actually really love the mood to this. I liked that it showed what you clicked on already when you play through again. Some of it was really great poetry. When there is one statement that you have to click on, it really emphasizes it. It's like a new tool to use in creative writing! So a very cool concept.
Don't Shapeshift by ginger9 2016-05-05T07:21:00
The game's art is really cool! I love the atmosphere to it. The screen scrolling is a little jittery, but overall it is very nice! Great job on this. :)
SMARTONINJA by meownsk 2016-05-05T07:18:00
I loved that you had a whole opening in there! Very ambitious for a jam. The backgrounds were great and I liked being able to transform to do different attacks. Nice job.
Evotron by testzero 2016-05-05T07:15:00
Nice job at getting the game done even though you had to paint and install a fridge! Great work. :)
Don't Wake up, Stay Dream! by tobia88 2016-05-05T07:11:00
Wow, the first time I died I was seriously surprised! That was such an interesting concept. I loved the art and music. great work!
Wizard of Shapes by puppetmaster 2016-05-05T07:03:00
Fun game! I loved the idea that it is the enemies that are changing shape. :) I think it would have been nice to be able to see the shapes you needed to get at the beginning of the level, but that's a minor nitpick. Overall the game is very charming! Great work. :)
Morphling by SecondDimension 2016-05-05T06:58:00
What a charming little game! I just loved it. The art style and music was great. It was a lot of fun! I think my only critique is that I didn't use the cat so often, I was pressing Z a lot more often. I loved the transformations of the character, very cool. The tutorial level was also well done. Awesome entry!!! :D
Brutally Shifty Dance Crew by Franklin's Ghost 2016-05-05T06:50:00
Your games always have such a cool and unique feel to them! I absolutely love the interpretation that breakdancing is shapeshifting, what a novel idea! :) The animation was very cool, I am always impressed by how you animate people. Nice job!
Wasteland Wars by LavaGhost 2016-04-21T07:32:00
The download link wasn't working for me. I could download the source but couldn't figure out how to play it...
Aether Crypt by Tselmek 2016-04-21T07:26:00
The game was fun! It had a good mood to it. I loved that the door was there at the beginning and it made it really exciting to find the keys. I love that you'd have to explore and figure things out to level up, which gave you access to more areas. That was creative! Well done. :)
Snakeshift by Mirroar 2016-04-21T07:16:00
That was great! I thought it was adorable. "Snake is a snake!" :D
The puzzles were really great! I played through the whole thing. Towards the end you really had to think. Really great idea and execution. Fantastic entry!
Basebird by dvdfu 2016-04-21T07:02:00
This was very relaxing, hilarious, and fun! Haha I have no idea how you guys came up with this ideabut I have to say that I enjoyed myself. :)
Squiggles by Avant-Marde 2016-04-21T06:57:00
The atmosphere in this game was really great. I just loved the colors and the music. It felt really nice too, the animation was very fluid. Nice job. :)
Kitsune Quest by KitsuneQuestDev 2016-04-21T06:52:00
The artwork and music were fantastic! I liked the idea of switching between the fox and the geisha. Great job. :)
Size Matters by Benn 2016-04-21T06:46:00
VICTORY!!!
It was really hard, but so so good. The controls definitely took some time to getting used to, but it was so worth it. There were so many aha moments! Especially when climbing the walls. I would have had no idea how I would try and teach that to the player, but I felt like I naturally figured it out in the level, and that was a very fun moment. I also liked figuring out how to jump over the lava blocks.
Very very very nice job on this!!! Super clever. :)
Squishy's Escape by owyoow 2016-04-21T06:31:00
This was really well done! I loved the little character. The float transformation was adorable and I just cared about him so much! Don't know why. :) The mechanics felt pretty good and the levels were fun. I will say that dieing did feel pretty punishing because of the inclusion of lives and the long re-spawn time. But that did make me actually care as I went through the levels and wouldn't just jump into it without thinking. Really great mood to the game! Nice job. :)
Species by JaviCepa 2016-04-21T06:19:00
The game was very relaxing! I really liked the mood to the game. The art style was really cool. Great work. :)
SHOOTING GAME THING by BPO_Jeff 2016-04-21T06:11:00
Fantastic game! The mechanics of switching between going faster and moving faster was really interesting. The music, sound and just overall feel was so good. Great job on this! Lots of fun. :)
Splitter Critters by GertJohnny 2016-04-21T06:03:00
This was a fantastic game! The mechanic was really unique and had a lot going for it. It was hard to wrap my head around, but fun to figure it out! I loved all of the puzzles that you made with the different critters and enemies. Amazing job!!
Neko Katadzukeru by mahalis 2016-04-21T05:52:00
That was really fun! I liked how you could stretch out the cats. The controls took a little getting used to, but once I got the hang of it, it was really fun. I loved the music and sound effects of the cat meows. Adorable!
