Fun but are the doors inverted for color and shape?

Fun but are the doors inverted for color and shape?
Nice puzzle elements.
This is very lovely and relaxing. I don't know why but your character reminds me of Finn from Adventure Time, probably the colors.
Nice variety between levels. I didn't expect the ships to change in behavior.
Those tree in the background are really well animated.
Your web and source link both lead to github.
This is excellent. Really like the art style.
Seems to have a rendering glitch, could not play. Everything was black or transparent.
Fixed it by going fullscreen.
Wow this is really polished. You guys did awesome work.
Why do you have a mute option, the music is great.
Clean graphics, good mechanics and great level design. Good job.
So nice and clean looking. The controls are very smooth.
How many death animations did you make?
This was very sweet.
I did not expect that large boss, it almost killed me too. Made it to the last car and then died.
Good work. This game is fun.
I don't know why but creating planets was very satisfying.
The disguise is priceless. This game is very cute.
The central tower's motion is very nice. This game is quite pretty.
Very nice concept. I really liked this.
Really pretty sprites. A lot of work went into this game. Good work.
Art style and music are top notch. This is one of the top Jam entries.
Very nice graphics and good puzzler tool.
Crashed on exit so it's no big deal.
This game is fantastic. Wonderful entry. The ship is beautiful.
Great concept. This game is fun.
Nice effect for the bullet hits. This game is fun, good concept.
Very neat concept with the two sliding bars to switch the world.
I'm loving this. I feel so bad for the birds.
For all UE4 games if you are getting error for msvcr120.dll missing, install Visual Studio Redistributable x86 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
Very fun, well done. On the intro though re pressing the spacebar make the menu restart making you wait longer.
Very good puzzle elements and mechanics.
I love how you show the alternate world in the background.
Didn't expect to see a text adventure. Good job, it's quite nice.
Nice concept, had a glitch where in fullscreen I couldn't see the targets.
Loved how the zone of influence was pushing against each other.
The world flows very smoothly.
This is very fun. Fast skirmishes and missle launches.
Love the music and sound effects. Good rolling physics too. The transfer between balls was spot on.
Nice idea, I was having trouble with the volume threshold but that may be on my end.
Nice very original idea. Good job
Nice one "U.N. Convention on All Weapons", very creative.
I like your pixel art.
The little orange guys are so cute. Your game is pretty hard but it's very fluid and easy to control.
This is good. Great work, Love the voiceovers and the whole customer support integration.
Very complete. The pixel graphics are pleasing and it control well.
This is really nice, good job
Nice game concept. Good job.
Impressive amount of work and polish. Good job
Good work, you were getting somewhere, The graphics are really nice, everything runs smoothly. Good job.
Very polished game. Great work.
Good idea that might be worth continuing and releasing.
Saloon fight, awesome.
Too bad about the minions. The snap/dash attack when clicking works well. Gets you bouncing all over the place while slashing the enemy.
Nice gameplay, really fun mechanic. Good job
Fun puzzle game, good job, love your cover art.
For some reason the levels remind me of Tutankhamun on atari.
Very nicely done, great sprite art.
Nice knockback when releasing the whoop-ass.
WASD worked fine for me. I was never able to spawn Abe though. Enemies stopped spawning and their base blew up before I had enough money.
I love the graphic filter you applied, very retro, good job
Good Job, that's quite the jump.
The game ran fine until I over did it with the shoots in too small an area and it slowed down a bit.
I really liked how clean the game looks. and as Birke said nice death animation.
Nice riddle game where errors stack up towards the end.
Nice beekeeper suit.
haha, the power bar rotates with you when you summersault. I've never seen that before, it's neat.
The music is very sad and fitting. Good job.
Lost my head so many times. Good job
My original idea was to keep the followers close and have creatures hide in the dark forcing you to lure them into your lit area to let the followers attack. If they left the safe zone around you they were dead. Got a lot of the AI work done but that ate up my time.
Can you elaborate of "hard to install". I tried it on two different machines (dev and non-dev) and all I had to do was unzip and run the FollowTheLight.exe
The contrast was not intentional as the indoor areas I built a full instanced mesh procedural room generator but only supplied it a base flat model.
As for the followers it was the same thing, I didn't have time to make a nicer models but I ended up really liking the look of them in the end. I'm actually thinking of using these blocky guys for future projects.
Being able to open the fridges in the back caught me by surprise. Good Job.
Those sprites are really cute.
Looks great, very FTL like. Good Job
You're a monster, that is the cruelest weapon. Nice idea, good job.
Most entries the player wields the weapon, you turned it around giving the weapon to the villain. Good job.
This is fun. Very good idea and concept.
This is great fun. When you mess up you move you get a couple of seconds to think I'M F*CKED. Good Job.
Great idea, the enemies could do more damage unless there was some oddity due to lag spikes. Shooting hurts you more from juice loss than just standing there with the whole swarm.
Nice ricochet shots, cool. Very nice art and good concept.
That was cool. Crosses everywhere. Good Job.
I'm impressed that you were able to make a fighter for an LD. Good job
Nice graphics, reminds me of guacamelee. Good job
Sorry about Andy. I didn't expect to hear voice when you fail.
Good work.
Welcome to the Not Quite Finished club. It's actually quite nice.
Very well executed.
Very interesting concept.
Well done. I liked the whole density idea.
Great city destroying game.
Really cute graphics. Game is well done too. Good job.
Nice take on missile command. KILL THE BIRDS
That was fun, a bit cruel but fun.
This was so fun. The levelling system really sells it. Everything about this game is great.
Good dark souls feel and immediately recognizable.Good job
I'm impressed by your entry. Hard to play as it goes very fast by moving a whole row or column. Good job.
Does he ever launch himself. Fun to jump around.
The music really keeps the pace. Good job.
Your pixel art is so nice. Game is fun too. Very good job. In my top 5 so far.
Very clean looking game, this is fun.
It's like taking pity on a brain damaged mario.
oh wow. Good job, very good take on this concept.
Nice retro graphics and music. Reminded me of ikagura. Fun game.
The art and music are really good.
This was fun, good job. Nice choice of music.
This is very fun.
Yeah 3/4 of the way in I realized that adding voice over was the easiest way to indicate to the player what was going on. I also added the stress meter on the mission panel to show some measure of progress, otherwise the game left you wandering aimlessly. One tip, when the creatures let you walk out of your ship, no progess will be made if you stay in the ship as they are used to the ship but not you.
48h compo so yes the textures were made by me, if you download the source you'll see the pictures of stones from my backyard that I used for the textures. If anyone needs repeating stone texture with normal and bumpmaps go ahead and use these, there are 5 variations available. Funny fact, he creature's skin is from my kitchen's linoleum tiles.
Thanks for the comment about my voice, most of the clips were done in a single take due to the short amount of time available.
As for the gameplay, the original design called for feeding and helping the creatures to earn trust but I didn't have the time to implement any of that. The only thing you can do now to earn trust is to stand around and let them get used to you.
This is adorable. Good job
Really makes you feel like a monster. Good job
Very fun game.
Found a way out of the bottom cargo bay and fell to infinity. Nice game.
The tweets and quotes were a great idea.
Awesome idea. Great use of the theme.
This was way out there, good job, made me laugh.
Your environment is absolutely gorgeous. Stunning art.
This is so charming. Great art. Good job.
That dino/monster is so cute.
I love the break from imagination. Ouch thumb-tack.
This was cute and original. well done.
This was really fun and pretty. Very nice art style.
Nice voxel graphics.
That white projection on the ground was a good idea, really helped to align your strikes.
The police hats were a brilliant idea. Good job with this game.
Awesome idea, very nostalgic.
Very well done, the creature controls quite well.
This is a great game, good job. Very fitting music
The black foreground on red background looks nice also the physics work really well. Good job
Really nice art and animation.
This is quite fun. The music sets up a great mood too. Good job
Your environments are really nice and clean.
Did not expect the spear chucking. Very pretty.
Very well done this is awesome.
I was wondering if I'd see a clicker game. Good job but the graphics are almost unplayably blurry. Good thing clickers are self explanatory.
Nice monster fright game. Also reminded me of Haunting like cbstegeman said.
Nice stealth game.
The virus and environment are really pretty.
Nice puzzle game. Being able to fly after the transformation was neat. Good job
This game is fun. Cute concept.
This is a wonderful entry and application of the theme. Excellent job
Very cute and solid entry.
I don't know why but I really like how this looks and controls. Very good entry.
Gutsy, asymmetric multiplayer. Good job
Very well done game. I loved the graphic filter you used.
The ship is large and varied, good job modelling all that interior.
I really liked the art. Fits well with the game. Good job.
