So the controls are very loose, and the graphics aren't incredible, but the idea and implementation are great. Never played a game like this, and it is a really cool mechanic. Nice work OP.

Wow. PLEASE make a full game of this. This is by far my favorite game this LD. I have get to give a game 5 stars as i always felt i'd know a game worth it, and this is it. Everything works so well. Love the ambient music and the mood it created. Lovely looking art and animations. My top LD game so far.
This is really cool :) It's pretty simple as there's only a few things to do, but it's good fun once you get to grips with the controls. Played it for a few runs and could still play more. :) Awesome entry OP, especially love the DickButt mug. A fellow Imgurite?
Love the idea, very original. I too had trouble deciphering the character's movement and ended up hitting random keys to find my way. Solid idea, think it could have been implemented a bit better, but good job. :)
Really like this entry. Solid implementation of a good puzzle game. The audio created a really cool mood, and the puzzles were challenging enough for me to put my serious face on. I think the only thing it's missing is more production value. Great entry, i really enjoyed it.
Concept is really cool, and i like games that control like this but its way too non self-intuitive. I think any game that requires you to watch a separate video in order to play it correctly has some serious design flaws. I had fun interacting with the environment but was definitely not playing as intended.
Nice submission. I like the sound and simple graphics, but found is a bit easy overall. I also wasn't sure what my goal was so after a few minutes of wandering got a bit bored. Solid entry.
I did not enjoy the experience i just had.
I like the art and the take on the theme, but feel the penguin's controls could be improved. It feels like he weighs a tonne so things are sluggish. Other than that, i enjoyed playing the first couple of levels. :)
I like the premise, but felt it wasn't implemented quite right. The controls were a bit iffy and the physics could be improved. I like the fact that you can float through space and explore, but you quickly run out of fuel. Solid effort, and it's almost there i just feel it needs more work before i'd be able to sit and really enjoy playing it. :)
Music is really good, but gameplay is lacking for me. I found it all very weird for the sake of being weird. Solid controls and shooting etc, but I don't have a desire to keep playing. Solid entry, but not for me. :)
Wow, love the graphics of this! Really cool. Controls are solid, and good use of theme. The game is a little easy, but still great. Nice work OP!!
Quite a fun shooter. The controls work pretty good, shooting is solid. The background music is great, but the death sound sfx are odd aha. Had fun playing this. :)
Ahah. You win everything. Seriously this is great. Fast paced and fun, great sounds, utterly mental and great use of theme. I love punching that guy in the face. Feels so satisfying for some reason. Really good job OP. :D
Not very original, but a solid implementation of a good game. I appreciate the unique graphics, but wasn't a massive fan of them. Solid job overall OP. :)
Wow, the polish on this is great! The characters look and feel amazing. I don't have a P2 right now so i just owned the other character for a while and even that was fun because it works so well.
Add controller support, multiplayer and more maps and you have yourself a fun title.
It's clear that you ran thin on time, but what's there worked great. Gameplay is somewhat lacking with the limited towers etc, but I had fun with it for a while. Nice job :)
Once you figure out how this works it's pretty cool. Nice sounds overall (i agree with others the fail sound gets a little grating as you here it often) but I did enjoy this game for a while.
A better tutorial would help greatly, as i'm sure a lot of people will have tried for 5 minutes and given up without working out what to do.
Nice submission.I like the gameplay and simplicity of the graphics. Obviously music is missing, some nice splashing sfx for example would add a lot.
I do think it's a bit too slow-paced though. For example, when selling fish you have to wait for people to come that takes time. You could have had it so soon as you place the box down all your fish are sold. Waiting for people to buy them brings nothing, but slows you down.
Still, I did enjoy playing so good job. :)
Love the art, and SOME sound. The sound when you fail is highly annoying. :/ I unfortunately think it's let down by gameplay. I enjoyed looking at it a lot more than i enjoyed playing it.
Great polish overall, and love the intro and story. Gameplay is pretty solid although I have some reservations about the music. It broke the mood for me and sounded like there were 2 tracks playing over each other?
It was either a bug or our tastes in music differ. Either way, it's a relatively minor complaint and i still like the game :) Good job.
I really like this OP. Great simple concept, great polish and achievements. It needs music and SFX, then you have a great app. This is the type of app that I could see going viral. It will be staying on my phone and i hope you continue to develop and polish even more.
Ran fine for me BTW with a HTC One (original version)
I like what you were going for, and i think in ways you got there. My main flaw here is the movement speed. You move way too slow for me. If a crate is at the other side of the screen, you have to just go and hope that a bomb doesn't fall on you. You don't have time to be careful. I think increased movement speed & a dash/roll to avoid the bombs (they fall very fast) would help this game massively.
Great music and atmosphere though, i did enjoy playing. :)
The song is pretty cool and unique, and I had some fun playing for a while. I do think gameplay is a little lacking and i reached a score of 300-odd before becoming a bit bored. Good entry though!
Cool idea but i think somewhat flawed. When you make a match the block disappears so you fall to the spikes. I couldn't figure out how to not die! Certainly has promise though.
Solid implementation of a tower defense, all the elements are there although i agree it's very easy. It would be better if the frequency of enemies that spawn increased over time. I packed a few towers on the first corner and they never get past now. Good job though, solid entry. :)
Nice little game. Starts out easy, but gets pretty hectic real quick.
Best use of the theme yet i think. Very cool. I think it would benefit from being able to control the player entirely with one hand (including shooting) so you can move at the same time.
Awesome game. Very arcadey. I love how the car handles, very sharp. The camera makes depth perception a little tricky when at the other side of the map, and a backing track wouldn't have gone amiss, but great job. One of my favorites so far.
It look great. I don't think the music is fitting when you're actually shooting, i'd like something more upbeat. The menus are very slow, but a solid shooter. Played for a good number of rounds. :) Nice work OP.
Very simple, and the graphics leave a lot to be desired, but it's a functioning game! Good job.
Solid first attempt at a game. You seem aware of it's flaws so no point reiterating them. Nice work.
Cool take on theme, and it's great you got a few mini-games done, but each is a bit too casual and easy for me. I'd have preferred to have seen half the games, each with double the time spent. Nice job though. :)
The UI could use some TLC, but gameplay is there. I like that the items dropping have random behavior.
Given your 12 this is amazing, great job! Wish i could have programmed this that young. :) In regards to gameplay i think it needs some balancing. 10 seconds between waves is a bit long, and first i was confused as to what was happening. I also agree with how random some of the minigames are, makes it pretty difficult. Still, great job on your first LD. :D
Given it's insta-death if you collide with an enemy i think the controls need to be MUCH tighter. Same issue as other in that it seems my bullets didn't do much. Awesome for your second game, but i think more time should have been spent on play testing the controls.
Great job, very polished for an LD entry. Story was awesome, music, graphics; A fast forward button would be good to speed up journeying, but great job. I think is the game i played the longest so far.
Solid platformer. I agree that the controls feel a little awkward, and that the gm popup shouldn't be there each round. I scored 36 at best. GG OP.
Nice use of the theme. I also had trouble grasping the mechanics, describing it as a MOBA really helped so thanks commentators. Solid, but I think things could be made clearer.
I too am struggling to understand the mechanics. I did find that you can continually click the same spot to make it huge!
I appreciate the slow story-telling, but also have reservations about the controls like those before me pointed out. I found jumping to be pretty difficult and not natural. Unfortunately, that pulls you out of the deep, meaningful experience I presume you want to achieve.
Loved the audio in this. The puzzles were pretty cool. The controls were fairly sloppy, a few more hours focus on those would have helped a lot.
That's really fun! I suck at it's fun. Every-time i made a mistake i hit the opposite arrow for some reason so i made mistakes in pairs. Only thing i'd criticize is the music was repetitive, but great entry. :)
Holy hell that's difficult to play! The staggered scrolling screw you up lots! Pretty fun, but I didn't possess the the will power to attempt level 2. aha :D
I like the graphics and idea, unfortunately i'm missing player 2!
Nice looking world, although I don't really think it being small brings anything other than satisfying the theme.
Nooo1 It's too short. :D That was fun, good job. Nice graphic, and everything felt very smooth
The graphics are nice, but I don't really get it! Also i did something and lost my tape!
Solid shooter. Felt a bit clunky to me, with the limited axis moving and shooting, but still fun. :)
LOVE those graphics. Awesome. I don't like the camera though, sorry! I feel if it just followed you fixed in the center that would be better.
Solid game, I too found it a bit slow however. Also at the end, I died and it just sat there! Not sure how to start again or something.
Bit rough around the edges, but that's to be expected. Pretty solid entry, played for a while. The AI is infuriating aha!
Your comment sums it up, rough but there. Took me a minute to figure the controls out, but I got there. Definitely needs some polish, but nice job. :)
Not a fan of having to sit through an ad to play this. I like concept. Almost Thomas was alone (story) meets Binding of Isaac. Wasn't a fan of the controls. Moving felt ... odd. Can't quite put the finger on it why.
Love this! Never played anything like it. I did have a problem that they tend to want to just grow outwards, and after a certain point I was bigger than the screen so couldn't see what was coming. Having the ability to zoom out would help, but great job. :)
You got brownie points for mentioning the Co-optional podcast aha! Wasn't' expecting the conversations to go the way they did.
Can clearly see what you were going for, shame you didn't finish it!
Really like this game, lot's of fun and a cool concept. I do feel it's lacking audio and some effects badly, but really fun to play.
Unique controls! Can't decide if i like or hate them ... As others have said, I miss the tie in with the theme, but cool game.
Awesome amount of work for 48 hours. Love the music. Did feel the game play was a little repetitive, but nice effort.
Not really sure what's happening during this game. :S
Really like the graphics. Felt the controls could have been tighter, and ditto with the camera. Felt a bit loose.
Love how this is presented, felt the music was a bit tedious, but definitely feel the meat boy vibe in there. The controls felt great. Personally i'd tighten them just a touch (less momentum so you come to a stop quicker) but other than that it was awesome. Best game I've played so far.
Pretty cool. Bit of a loose interpretation of the theme in my opinion. Also think the rocket should carry more momentum and float around more. Didn't feel much like space. Still, great effort for a first game. :) I did play a couple of times.
I agree with previous comments, the game-play is very fast but unfortunate the controls can't accommodate that. Cool interpretation of the theme though!
Got stuck for me unfortunately pretty early on. Not sure if there was any game play coming up, but all i seemed to do was hit space to skip text!
Solid effort. There's a lot left to be desired regarding aesthetics, but core mechanics are there. Nice work. :)
Very basic and lacking production value, but basic mechanics are there :) Nice effort.
Very basic, but it's a game! Nice work :)
Solid game. Found it a bit slow but nice work overall :)
Cool idea. Found the controls a bit off. Would say I died when I felt the just was fine. Nice work :)
Pretty cool, just didn't find it very engaging. Nice work though :)
Pretty cool. Not immediately clear as to how it relates to the theme though?
Pretty short but great story behind what your doing. Solid graphics and sound as well. Good job :)
Great game. Only thing i didn't like was the small wait between failing and being able to retry. Got a little tedious but everything else was awesome
Interesting concept. Awesome how all the stories entwine at the end. Art is on the simple side tho but great job.
Wow only 4 hours work on this badboy. That's impressive. Love the graphics and it's pretty fun :) Had me playing a while. Great job.
Lol. I have no idea what I've just experienced. I agree with @matthias_zarzecki the intro is a bit long :/ Great concept
Wow. That looks and sound amazing. Unfortunately i had absolutely no idea what was happening :S
Pretty cool game. Like your take on the theme. Get's a little repetitive after a while though and i think the character should move quicker.
Pretty solid game but not too challenging. Maybe you only had 10 seconds of light to plan your rout then you were in darkness; just my opinion, but yeah pretty cool game. knocked out a few levels.
Holy shit I though I made a difficult game. Create looks, great game play and great narration. Love the music too.
Only issue I had was with jumping. It didn't always jump while holding right or left at the same time.
Fun Game! A tad repetitive but still fun; I played until i finished!
Mmm closes as soon as I open it :/
I agree with @pvwradtke I found it pretty damn difficult, and restarting form the beginning each time is a bit annoying. Implemented the theme well though and is :)
Great game man! Lots of fun. Had me smashing WASD like a nutter :D Good Job.
Pretty cool game :) Played for quite a few levels! I think a double-jump would have been helpful personally but nice job.
Not a bad remake just not very innovative :/ Found the paddle a bit slow.
This game fucking rocks. Never seen a gameplay mechanic like this! It's really fun and hits the theme spot on. Great rob man. 5 stars
Good take on the theme. Same issues as others, touch picking right option and had trouble reading that fast!
I agree with hungyg a bit hard but still good :) I got owned aha. Yeah pretty cool game man. Sound didn't work for me tho :/

Fun little game. I like the graphics and physics of the body parts. :)

Could use some heavy polish, but everything works. I made a sim myself last time around, so know the struggle of balance. :)

Very cute, and the art is decently polished. Great effort for your first game, and solid entry.

Solid entry. Like the retro sounds with the pixel art.
Seasons by cbear_wallis 2015-08-26T22:11:00
This is great. Decent amount of polish, and tough puzzles! The music could be better, and not sure how it fits the theme, but nice game! Should continue with this and make an app!
Trickers by Dege 2015-08-26T21:54:00
Everything works! The notes could have been more in-sync with the button presses, and some feedback when hit would be great. Nice effort.
