Thanks for the great feedback! We had a lot of fun putting this game together. It makes us really happy to see people enjoying the game. There are definitely more things we we're hoping to put in the game, but we simply ran out of time (other endings, more context sensitive audio/voiceovers, general gameplay tweaking, etc...).
@Crowbeak: Sorry for the trouble with the mac version. I can only recommend playing it windowed to avoid mac toolbar issues. Providing an inverted mouse control option is a great idea. Thank you!
@Kaoin: Striking that balance between too much and too little light is tough. We'll definitely keep it in mind. We like it dark, but it might be a little too dark.
@Everyone: Thanks for playing our game!!! :)
This game is amazing! Best one I've played so far. Great use of procedural generation. Wow, just wow!
Nice entry. Great mood.
Nice artwork and sound. I liked the message of the game. Cool entry. :)
This is pretty nice game! Could use nicer graphics, but the gameplay was quite entertaining! =)
Really good game. Simple, but super addictive. You die a lot, but you get right back into the action so you don't really think about it. Wonderfully executed game idea.
Nice game. Great use of sound. It really draws you in. Some puzzle elements and written notes blend in with the walls though, so I found myself missing a few things on my first pass. Overall, really well done.
Cool concept for a dungeon crawler style game. Liked the different weapons. Not sure how I feel about the movement controls. Overall, good work!
I really liked this game. Played it through to the end. UI is a little hard to to read (too small). There is a some potential here. Good work!
Simple and straightforward game. Would have liked to see a few more levels perhaps. Felt like the beginnings of what could be an interesting adventure game.
Love the game and the octopus. Sound is amazing makes me happy.
First of all Great visuals and sounds. Game play was really fun. I love the world :D.
Love the look of the game. Good job!
I wish I could have been able to skip past the intro screens between levels. Charming audio and voice over sound effects. Nice work. Loved the humor of the game. :)
Great interpretation of the theme. Very original. That parasites one was pretty dark, wasn't expecting it. Well done.
I really enjoyed this game. Easy to get into. The camera feels a bit jumpy when you switch sides; a little more easing on it would be nice. Some kind of health indicator for the player would be great too. I found myself wondering how close to dying I was a lot of times. Very cool game though. I really liked this one. Nice work.
Cool concept. The list of tropes seems endless!
Challenging game. Simple and fun.
simple good and fun. the collision sounds seems a little annoying. but good game overall.
Man that shark gets crazy air! Cool game.
Really liked the reflection effect. Quite the contrast between both worlds. Interesting idea.
Interesting game. I enjoyed the visuals like the nice colour effect when you get close to the ground. Not sure how I feel about being able to collide with the rings though. Found it very frustrating when I would bounce off of the rings awkwardly after building up a lot of speed. Overall, cool game! I really liked the visual style.
Really cool game. Loved the Bomberman vibe I got from playing it. A little frustrating when the tall blocks pop up out of the ground, obscuring your movements in behind them. Other than that small issue, I had fun messing around with this one. Nice look and presentation too. Great idea for the menu system. Solid work.
Nice interpretation of the theme. Had to click a whole lot, but I felt happy.
Nice game. Piano track builds up tension nicely between levels. Enjoyable puzzle game.
Funny game. That fart power is pretty funny. Nice added touch that it actually propels her forward a little bit. I found the layout of the level a little confusing though. Good work!
Cool game. I enjoyed it. Good work.
Good game but find it difficult and not understandable. Visuals amazing as well as the sound.
im not rating because the application wont launch
Nice looking game. Great art. Very tough. Can't help but laugh when you blow thousands only to pull up something completely worthless. Cool idea.
Interesting game. Controls felt a bit unresponsive. Good audio contributes strongly to the mood. Nice work overall.
Really cool game. Not sure how the theme fits in though. Love the art style and audio. Being able to pick back up where you left off is a cool feature. It would have been nice to be able to skip past the rewind controls explanation each time I died (I died a lot...)
Cool game! Loved the upgrade system. Felt like I was constantly getting better as I got further and further along. Wasn't a big fan of losing all the upgrades when I died though. Felt like a harsh penalty. Overall though, very nice game! Great work!
Life is about choices. Guess you can't have everything. Interesting concept.
I really enjoyed this game. Great interpretation of the theme.
Not sure exactly how to play and get currency but i still had fun playing. really enjoyable
Splash image caught my eye, so I figured I'd take a gander.
Interesting game idea. Unfortunately it was unclear to me which people were humans and which were demons. I'm guessing it has something to do with those white flash effects that kept going off? I just wasn't sure.
Great concept. Really brutal. Hard to see where the next gate would be sometimes and those air gates are brutal. Overall, good work!
Nice mood to the game. Liked the style of the art. The controls really threw me off though. The layout wasn't very intuitive so it was hard to remember what did what. Might be a small bug, but I also got stuck being unable to crawl past the little tunnel at the start. There was also an unfortunate pit I got trapped in early on. Interesting idea though.
Cool game. I wish there was a little more variety to it. I was confused by the jumping mechanic at first until if figured out I could jump as long as I was colliding with something. Hard to keep track of the exit location once the door opens. Overall good work! I enjoyed trying out your game.
Cool game. Loved the look and feel of it. Really wish it had sound though. It would have really added a lot to the mood you are setting up with the visuals.
Really impressed with the mood you were able to create with such simple use of audio. Well done. Beyond that, I would suggest moving the scuba oxygen meter over to the scuba diver picture to make it more obvious. I didn't see it right away. When I figured it out though, I loved the tense feeling you get from trying to plan out the perfect dive run to get a piece and still have enough air to make it out alive. Good work!
Good mood. Got turned around quite a bit in the maze.
Good amount of levels that have been cleverly thought out and put together in such a way that gradually introduces the player to the game mechanics. Well done. This is a good game.
Nice use of audio. Interesting puzzle game.
Interesting idea. Wish I'd been able to play the complete version. Good effort!
Damn you clippy! Cool game. I had fun.
Cool game. I liked having to manage various resources as you dodge incoming obstacles. I did get confused by the bronze coins though. I thought they were gold at first and kept choosing them above the silver coins for a while. I really like those claws too! Love the upgrade system.
Interesting little game. Took me a bit of time to figure out which blocks I could and couldn't break because all of them are a shade of blue. Good effort overall.
Great overall game. Reminded me a lot of the arcade classic Dig Dug. Would definitely have liked to play more levels. Very nice work! :)
Fun and frantic. Really enjoyed it. Well done!
Nice animations. Like the overall look of the game.
It wasn't immediately clear to me that the I had to hold the light up to the darkness for a few seconds to make it disperse from the chests. I'm also sad to admit, I wasn't able to figure out how to open the chests.
Overall nice work!
A day in the life of an ant. Interesting idea. Not sure how the pheromones mechanic was supposed to work. I did manage to acquire and return a tasty leaf back to my nest though. :)
Loved how the guy just kept shifting around impatiently. Then I realized I was doing very similar things while staring at my computer screen. Well played sir, well played. ;)
Creepy game. Gave a startle at the end there.
Great game. Absolutely love the art style. Very fun. Love the upgrade system. Makes having to start over feel fair. Great work!
That scream! Nice presentation. Definitely a little buggy though.
Thoughtful game. Well done.
Interesting idea. I liked how the ping effect lit up what it hit. Definitely wish the enemies were a little more responsive though. Nice work!
Wonderful game. Beautifully animated bunnies. Great artwork all around. Very tense atmosphere. Some of the situations I found myself in solving puzzles felt a little too much like trial and error at times which I wasn't too crazy about. Overall though, I very much enjoyed this game. Very good entry! Well done!
Loved the art style. Enjoyed the various dive locations. Nice work.
Nice concept for a cooperative game. Worked well with keyboard controls.
Interesting idea. Would have been cool if the clouds came from different directions and at different speeds. Extra levels would have been cool too. Nice simple art style. Good work.
Simple idea. Well executed. Good work.
Nice game. Jumping felt a little awkward to me. Very colorful look which I enjoyed. Good work. Well done!
I liked the concept. Nice use of procedural generation for the levels. Wish it was possible to vary the jump heights when hitting the space bar. Interesting idea that was well executed. Good work!
I like the look of the pixel art graphics. The lighting on the mushrooms was nice, but the whole game felt a little too dark overall. I found myself wishing my bullets would light up the environment as they whizzed by.
Cool game! Looks really great.
Really interesting concept. Super simple to pick up, hard to master. Nicely done!
:( not working
Great game. Really clean look and feel. Well executed concept.
Great game. I love it:D. The art is great, the audio is great, game is well polished. I also love the effects(camera shake):D
Interesting idea. Died quite a few times, but managed to find the briefcase in the end. The win/lose screens seem to disappear a little too quickly after they pop up to read them.
Very ambitious of you to tackle a project like this. There definitely seems to be a foundation here, it's just difficult to grasp coming in as a complete outsider. Don't let this deter you though. Keep working on this card game. They are hard to pull off, but so much fun when you do. Keep up the good work!
Nice game. Love the art. Controls were very responsive and felt fair. Simple concept, well executed.
Love the sound effects made me laugh so much. the "DING DING" was my favorite good job.
Good game. Loved the art style. The lighting effects were impressive. Jumping was a little awkward. Made completing some of the tougher platforming challenges very difficult. Really liked the idea you went with. Nice work.
Nice game overall. Really liked the audio you had going. The art style is also very nice. Good work.
Love the art style. The game has great flavor. Tough game, but I enjoyed it.
Fun game. All the visuals and audio elements fit together very well. Good variety of levels. Really enjoyed this one. Nice work!
Game is great and fun took me a bit to figure out what to do :p.
Cool game. Fun platformer. Definitely didn't use the axe as much as I thought I would have to. Nice work.
Cool idea. Well put together. Screen does move up pretty quickly. I like the audio style of the game.
Love the minimalist approach. Enjoyed the audio. Jumping could use some improvement though. I think the game would really shine with variable jumping. Nice work.
Very interesting concept. Nice challenging puzzle platformer. Some of the levels felt really hard. Well presented overall package. Nice work!
Nice mood to the game. Audio complements it well. Simple, but effective. Had a bit of trouble with the controls. Mouse clicks on parts of the screen to move the character around were a little inconsistent at times. Otherwise, I really liked the style you chose for the look of the game.
Hahaha! That was great. Definitely weird, but great. I enjoyed that. :)
Wonderful game. Great marriage between the audio and the gameplay. Really enjoyed this one. Simple and fun. Well done!
Like the concept fun. good job.
Wow! Such a nice looking game. Loved all the shifting geometry. Loved the lighting and particle effects. It all contributed to great mood. I didn't initially realize red was a reset orb, which was unfortunate. Also, music of some kind would have been great addition too. Really impressive work. Very much enjoyed this one. Well done!
Cool art style! Enjoyed the look of the game. Not a big fan of those sounds though.
Very unique game! Had trouble feeding that ATM. Loved the dark sense of humor. Well done.
Very novel concept. Visually very well executed. I would really like to see where this idea takes you. You certainly have something very unique here. Well done!
Love the visuals and seems fun to play but the only issue is that it crashed midway the game.
love it, it was really fun love how you use the pig to find the truffles. :D
Very enjoyable game. Love the art style; it looks great. Very tense game. Trying to get everything you need without getting spotted is hard. Found it tough to gauge when it was safe to pop out to get something which was a little frustrating at times. Same goes for diving back into a rat hole when trying to evade detection at the last second. Overall though, I loved your interpretation of the theme. Nice work!
I like it. love how deep in can go in the ocean as well as the sound when i die. good game overall had lots of fun and some laughs.
Cool game. Liked the look of it. Good use of particle effects. Very challenging.
Liked the explosions effect. I just wish I understood why I kept blowing up all the time. Controls were a little strange too. Interesting idea though.
Love it. It is really cute and enjoyable. :D good job.
Got a good head start, then a crazy log jam of stuff happened. Things ended pretty quickly after that. I couldn't help but laugh. I enjoyed this.
Cool concept. "Space" as the reset button caused me quite a bit of frustration. I kept hitting it by reflex sometimes since it's a common button for jumping. Also would have liked sound. Art looks good. Nice work.
Nice art. Audio created a nice disturbing mood.
Interesting take on a memory style game. Nice artwork. Would be cool if the aliens presented a threat to the players in some kind of way. As of right now it just feels like a matter of trial and error before you just outright win. I enjoyed trying the game out. Nice work :)
Really nice game. Wonderful pixel art. Love the Breaking Bad nod. Definitely needs some balancing. Ran into several painful bottlenecks during my play through that would make it hard, if not impossible to progress any further. I love where this game is going though, really cool concept. Please keep working on this one!
Cool game. Really nailed the underwater look. Felt like I was running out of ammo all the time. Good work.
I had a lot of fun with this one. Nice look and feel. Great humor! Well executed. Great work!
I liked the flavor text you get from each completed battle. Interesting idea.
Star field effect was very cool. Love the shape spin flourishes when I fling them off to the side. Felt like I was waiting a very long time for shapes I cared about to drop sometimes. One suggestion I can offer, maybe if the shapes drop in waves of 3 or 4 at a time, then you have the challenge of picking a sequence of shapes that you can shift into in quick succession for a higher score? On the whole, good work. I enjoyed trying this one out.
Nice fun game. Loved the tense feeling I would get whenever I'd have a close call with the sand worms. Cool game!
