No wonder this won!!
Cool! It's not extremely engaging, but it was very satisfying seeing the buildings spread! And apparently I died a nrillionaire, so that's cool!
Cool! I really like the controls, they are very responsive and smooth. Could do with audio, tough!
REALLY really cool!! I was quite addicted to it. I really loved the sprites. For feedback, could turn off filtering for the player character, he is blurred in my screen. Other than that, yeah, really cool game. I really enjoyed fighting that [SPOILER] dragon from the cave.
How?? Just, how?
Thats really well polished!! I like it
Cool! Would be nice with sound, though. Would also be cool to have the recipes easier to see, maybe depending on what order you have.
Really cool!! At first I was a bit confused as to what I was supposed to do, but then I noticed you have to choose who you will save, and that after some time the round ends and you can buy upgrades. Nice! My highscore was 11 saved, 6 unsaved.
Very good game. Simple, intuitive, and works flawlessly. Really cool. As @andidebob said, the only issue I had was that sometimes you lose without even noticing, I believe due to the animation of the blocks falling. But not that much of an issue, either. In fact, I believe you could get a lot of downloads of this as a mobile game!
Hello! The game looks and feel really good, but it freezes when I press Up, unfortunately. I'm in a Mac.
Hello! @lshiro left a really nice comment in my game and I came here to play yours. Unfortunately, the screen is black after the intro. I can see the helmets on the top of the screen, but the rest is just black. I also can hear the sound. I'm in a Mac.
Thanks for the feedback, @raphael-maia , @lshiro and anonymous commenter! It's amazing to know that people I don't even know are playing our game.
@no-grapes-games thank you!! A lot of love was invested in this. About the music, at first I really wanted to make an amazing orchestral soundtrack for the game, I focus in music. Programming and balancing got all the time tough, and I had time just for one song, and a very, very rushed one. I'm happy with it tough, given the circumstances. And about the art, @Greon is amazing, isn't he? He's the one in charge of most visuals, I'm very proud of what he has done for our game.
Thank you guys too, @zampi, @rodstar, @davidpixel for the amazing comments and feedback. @bigwhiteshogun , I played your game, and DAMN, it's cool. You guys are incredibly talented, keep making games.
@pl4typus hey, thank you for telling me, I will look into it. Strange, it worked fine.
OMG this is amazing!! I came here from @bigwhiteshogun 's wonderful comment in my game, but now I'm envious. Seriously, I really liked it. The art, the mechanic idea, and the music, were top notch for me.
Really creative!
Wow this is extremely good!! I love dungeon crawlers! I also really, really liked the art style.
Incredible!! The ratings are well deserved. Good luck!
Wow, this game is really unique. I have no idea how you programmed most of these mechanics, it's genius. Also it's a wonderful puzzle idea. Love it.
Wow!! Impressive! I loved the gameplay mechanics and concept. Great game! There's a learning curve and skill involved, similar to grappling hooks in games.
Very cool game! I love how you made it. It was a bit counter intuitive at first, but not too much. I just wish there were more objectives. Might be biased because I love sci-fi, but I love it!
The mood, the graphics and audio are so great!! Really, I love it. I might be biased as I love space and sci-fi. I really like the wind particles and the smooth animation when you drop an item. I do also think that 2 minutes was a bit too short, though, to explore the puzzles. Overall a really great game, you guys are really talented!!
Thank you for the game! Quite innovative, and so nice that you managed to make a leaderboard!
Love it!! Had a lot of fun, ended up scoring an average 81%.
Thank you for the game!! Really liked it. I did miss some sound effects, though. I loved the fact that I could destroy enemy particles with my own, it was very satisfying to discover it by accident.
I really like the animations!! Would like some polishing on the controls. Overall a very cool game! Thank you!
I really like your game!! Good job everybody! Even though you weren't able to make the sounds, I like the sounds you guys chose. I did get stuck on a tree, though :sweat_smile: stuck.png Very cool character and I loved the intro, thank you for the experience!
Great game, thank your for the experience! The only things I missed was a bit of depth, I wasn't sure why I was a black hole and why I was building a world. And also maybe a sprint button, that would be nice. The music was really cool and you made a lot of elements and combinations, I love it!
@neverix thank you, will look into it!! @dob Thank you so much, that all means a lot, really. And I'm really, really happy to know that people are liking the soundtrack :D @microwerx Thank you!! Yes, that crash happens sometimes, we didn't have time to fix it unfortunately. @nisovin Thank you! Yeah, my computer suffered a lot also :sweat_smile: @iori-branford Sorry for the crash! But I'm so happy that you liked it <3 @mad-brokli Thank you so much!! means a lot! @daniiln Thank you! We know it's very resource intensive, I'm really sorry for that. Turns out simulating a small universe is quite intense for a computer, who would've known lol
@thatmalzan @alexascher @croewens @pixamentory @fiwon123 thank you all so much!! Means a lot!! @tommyflower Thank you so much! For me personally, it's awesome to know that the game design worked and the music matched with the game. Thank you. @mharring Thank you!! Yeah, there isn't that much to do. I ended up spending most of the Jam time researching for the game and recreating the mechanics of our own universe, it was a lot of fun. @rroni YES!! It's amazing to know it was so intuitive, our game design worked! Thank you, means so freaking much! :D @daria-toni No, thank you! Means so much! So glad to know you not only played it to rate the game, but also enjoyed it. Thank you!
@neverix @dob @nisovin @microwerx @iori-branford @mad-brokli @daniiln @pl4typus @nsadie @pandamnesik @guardaro @stuckne1 @gasgiant @goldenglade @daitse @thatmalzan @alexascher @croewens @pixamentory @tommyflower @fiwon123 @mharring @rroni @daria-toni @morrilet @mediyaz, Merry Christmas!! I want to show something to you people:

We're extremely thankful for your feedback during the competition. We ported the game to Android, developed it a little further and optimized **a LOT** for mobile, and so **the usernames of every one of you are on the Credits screen in our game**, for all the feedback given. If anyone plays the game and notices their username isn't there or wants it out of the game, please tell me. Also tell me if any one of you are interested in a free copy of the full game, I will send you one.

Nice game! Had a hard time figuring out how to stack more than two balls though, but other than that, solid entry!
Thank you for the game!! I liked it, and I loved how you made N follow you and talk to you. It was very satisfying. The game was a bit heavy on performance over here. The only thing I missed was some music. Great game!!
Really cool game! Loved the style and polished controls. The only issue I had was with the sounds. Other than that, solid entry!
Very nice game!! Thank you for the experience
Really attractive game! Really well polished, too. I believe other music could be chosen, and the line throw mechanic is a bit counterintuitive. Other than that, I really like it! You managed to add a lot of variety, that's very cool.
First of all, thanks everyone for the feedback!
@spacegirl :heart: @dave-gamedevelopement I agree!! Wish I could've spiced it up a little bit, but didn't have the time. They do come from two other points though, just not as frequently. @casual-dutchman Yes! We want to release a version with bugfixes and a few things we didn't have time to implement, will notify you when we do it. Also yeah, the rockets do drop a lot. The waves system was one of the last things we managed to implement, so we didn't have any time to balance things out, the variables were almost pure guessing. @minrato2 Thank you!! We might develop it more, who knows. @cancerous Thank you! Definitely not my voice hehe @lukas-shiley we did have something VERY nice to implement at the end, but didn't have the time,unfortunately. We plan to implement it in the bugfixed version, will notify you when we release it! @miracl Thank you!! What do you mean by minimal? You're completely right, time to explore the world would be amazing, maybe a button to let waves start or something like that. It's a waste to not let players explore the gorgeous scene my friend @Greon created. Will do something like that in the bugfixed version! Will notify you! @epsulon Thank you!! I really like FarCry.
Thanks for the experience, awesome game, lots of talent there. The only thing I found lacking was the soundtrack, but I don't think it would be easy to do more than this in 48 hours lol. Nice!
Lol I really liked this game, loved the sound effects. Especially the lawn mowers. There were times that I was guaranteed to lose my chicken though, because I couldn't get more items. Did I miss anything?
Hi friends! The game seems nice, but as Romaric said I'm stuck in this "YOUR" screen. The game gets really slow and I'm not sure what to do.
Love the hand drawn graphics! I also really like Don't Start :smile: . Had a bit of a hard time figuring things out, though!
Nice game. I wonder how you managed as to always being a safe route, never being fully blocked. I saw some very cool patterns in the other cars. Nice! I, too, missed an evolution of difficulty, wish it would get progressively faster.
AWESOME game!! Loved it. So simple and effective, I finished the game feeling very satisfied. The only nitpick I have for constructive feedback is that it was often hard to select the planets as they were small and going so fast. Maybe a larger circle that shows up when you move your cursor close to them, that lets you grab them, would be cool. Great entry!
Remember me? I'm Hermitao7 from RorySmith's stream. I said I would come play your game! And boy, I'm IMPRESSED. You guys did amazing! The audio was perfect, and the graphics looks a lot like some retro games. A lot of talent was involved here, congratulations to your all. Thanks for the experience, had a lot of fun! Will keep this game on my computer. Screenshot (319).png
Wow!! Impressive game!! And you said our game and other ones look better than yours? I loved it. Very effective game. It's almost rythmic, love it. May I ask what did you make this game in (language and or engine)?
@leandro-tagliaferri thank you so much, it's an honor to know you liked it so much!! We're well aware of that wall bug, it was due to some poor decisions I made when coding movement π oops @ikernoya thank you!! Enjoyed the game from you guys too! @sharkwithlasers thank you so much for all the compliments!! Never played Furi, but Enter the Gungeon heavily inspired us, glad to know our game reminds of it. I highly recommend it. Oh my, you went up to the last stage!! The Lich is very difficult there though. There's a little surprise after you defeat him. About your points: 1. Yeah, I agree. The pillars aren't the issue; it was due to some bad decisions I made when coding movement. Living and learning! 2. Very true. We tried to mitigate it with some lights casting shadows on the doorways, but we were running out of time. 3. That ended up being my playstyle too, unfortunately. We planned to make rooms that only let you pass after killing all enemies, or maybe collecting power ups from them. However, we also were running out of time π P.s.: I'm really really happy you liked the pillars, it was my favorite part to code, I'm really proud of them. Also thank you so much about calling my quick song a banger, wish I could have spent more time on it. Thank you for playing and commenting!
Nice!! Love the idea. Here's my winning train:
Screenshot (314).png
Excellent idea and implementation!! However, I've had trouble understanding how exactly I define the order of shapes. How can I know which one is the first, or the second, for example?
Incredible!! Love ASCII games and roguelikes! Very impressive that you made the game directly in Javascript, really cool. Awesome skill effects!! Thank you for so much for the experience.
Incredible game!! Extremely intuitive, I didn't need to read absolutely any instructions to know how to play. Nice!! Loved the music lol
Awesome!! I love terminal based games, thank you so much for the experience, really enjoyed it. Although I've never played Hamurabi, I also love Dwarf Fortress, so this was fun. Loved the concept. Also very adequate do the theme. Gotta dig deeper!! One more thing: very cool programming language. I believe I've heard about it but never quite looked into it, so thank you for showing me a new one. Cool game! Would also love if you could check out our game, we've had a lot of time issues and are also trying to at least get to 20 votes in these last few days :heart:
Cool game! Really enjoyed the upgrades, and got really fun once I got the hang of fighting and mining at the same time. Would have enjoyed some fun battle music!
Nice!! I was honestly not expecting it to be so cool. I loved the intro cinematic and the fluidity of movement. The only issues I've had were too much info on the screen in the middle of action, and sometimes I also didn't know what exactly I should hit or evade. But very original concept, I love it!
Cool game! Get's quite challenging as the game progresses.
Cool game! Loved that there were multiple weapons and that I could steal them from some robots. Just wish there was a faster way to restart the levels so I can optimize my actions.
Loved this game!! So challenging and such a cool idea! photo_2021-10-07_21-32-45.jpg This is how far I got! I've played on Linux Mint and everything seemed to go fine. My only desire is that the windows would be more organized, but I guess thats part of the challenge. "Rad as hell" hahaha, love it.
@holy-doggo01 @michael-grieshofer @reditect @jabsatz @nicekot @gat @rollcreators Anonymous @bak @bulix @wassim @sceef @webox @jeinzi, thank you all so much for playing and your feedback!
@michael-grieshofer I definitely agree with you on the overscoping point! Hahahha. Thank you for the feedback!
@reditect Thank you! Yeah, I noticed that issue with the punches too and (hopefully) fixed it in the updated version. It was due to a very funny bug, actually. Wish we had the time to add more indications to what to do to progress and which way to go, but as Grieshofer pointed out, we overscoped and ended up not making it in time. Thanks for the feedback!
@jabsatz Thank you for the advice and for the good wishes!
@rollcreators Thank you! We agree, I tried to balance the game a bit in the updated version.
@bak Thank you!! Yeah me too, shame we didn't have much time this jam and overscoped a little anyway. The updated version is slightly more complete, at least!
@wassim Thank you!! Actually our idea at the beginning was that the player character is very unstable due to the experiments made with him, and he would frequently change between different forms, mostly involutarily (think about the game Prototype). However, we overscoped a little and so that had to be cut out.
@jeinzi Thank you so much for letting us know!
Outstanding game! Very satisfying, great idea and you did a lot in the short time frame. Thanks for the experience.
Very nice game! Very smooth and excellent entry. My only constructive criticism would be to make the pipes contrast more with the background, as I personally had to strain a little sometimes to see them, and that took away my attention. Really cool!
Love this game! Especially because it looks so much like Linux.
