Fun little game. Maybe should be called Steal the TVs?

Fun little game. Maybe should be called Steal the TVs?
Was fun for a bit, I might have missed something but the beginning is way too slow.
I found pressing enter with nothing typed in to give you hints at what to type.
The minigames controls are a bit frustrating, especially with how stuttery the framerate is.
Played on PC. Something about the controls makes me grin. It always feels like the saucer is about to crash, and that's just perfect.
Quite a bit of fun, I didn't realise at first that I hit to the X to negate abilities. So maybe a bit more direction on your first mission (maybe a tutorial mission would be helpful?)
While simple, it's a cute experience.
This was.. AMAZING.
The simple graphics were just made epic by the particle effects. I spent the whole game grinning.
I think I woke up my neighbors laughing at the ending sequence. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be funny, but "Will you dinner?" just did me in after such an enjoyable play through.
Physics were excellent.
Very dungeon keeper. Kind of slow paced though.
Good start, just needs something more.
Great game, very fun and challenging. Once that speeds get ups there it is very hectic.
Perhaps adding a button to clear early would be nice in the beginning though.
Honestly, I started this up thinking, "Oh great, another text adventure...", but by the end I was thoroughly enjoying it.
Very original. Would love to see some difficulty added.
Unable to run as well, installed XNA and .Net redists, still no dice.
Got some feedback that the controls are a bit confusing. Here's a bit more in depth explanation:
a/d to move left/right
w to jump
z to switch between Doc and Cat
Space bar to interact with signs and levers and vaults.
Gadget 1 is hands: click on boxes to pick them up. You have to be close to them. Click again to drop it.
Gadget 2 is freeze ray: Hit people to freeze them in place.
Gadget 3 is portals: Left click is exit, Right click is entrance.
I didn't even realize that was possible, I tried to avoid getting letting you get stuck until level 4.
I forgot to mention there is a pause menu, by pressing Escape. You can restart the level or return to the main menu for Level Select from there.
Yes, just Doc has to get to the vaults, cats can't open doors.
And yes, some of the guys are zombies -- a representation of how I felt when I was making those sprites.
Sing: I'm sorry to hear about your input trouble, I hadn't thought about alternate keyboard layouts -- next time I will!
Where are you falling through the floor? There are issues with doors closing on you and pushing you out of the level, but other than that I never encountered it.
Thanks to everyone for your kind words
Pretty fun; I managed to just kind of play forever by spreading a bunch of fire and then just swirling water around and I never really lost any power.
Why are red trees bad?
Fun for a bit, is there an end state? Seems like I just got enough income that I could keep the hero dead without losing anything.
I liked the idea behind it. And at first, I liked the grappling hook. Then things just got.. weird. The hook part kept popping off and I think it became self-aware.
Switching birds confused me at first, but otherwise very fun.
So much fun. Control scheme is perfect, though it seems hitting the sidewalk slows you down a bit too much, every time i end up on the sidewalk, I can't get off before the cops ram me to pieces.
very cool, very addictive, very gorgeous.
Lots of fun. Although, I stood at the first burglary point far too long, expecting something interesting to happen.
Fun game, although the enemies seem a bit brutal unless it's meant to be a stealth game. After playing for a bit, anytime I was spotted I just sat there and died so I could retry.
Really quite enjoyable; maybe I don't fully understand it but it's difficult as well.
