Great game. Amazing that you got so much in! The sound and art were good, and worked to create a really nice feel. Nice choice of scenes, too.

Great game. Amazing that you got so much in! The sound and art were good, and worked to create a really nice feel. Nice choice of scenes, too.
Love the art style! Great job, pixelpun.
Really great music! :D
I got a great sense of the desperation of drowning. For such a simple game that's pretty impressive. Nice job. :)
Really nice! Love the physics. :D
I like the little quotes. Great humorous game, good all round.
Throws you in pretty quickly. The colors are crazy. Nice music. Nice job!
Love the 3D projection style and animation. Nice work!
Nice job! Love the little glitches. :)
Very frantic and difficult . . . I like it! :D
Damn that's difficult! Good job for such a quick project!
Wow. Wut. xD
I was properly rushed at the end, I'm afraid. No time for level design, in spite of spending ages on the stuff for designing levels! :'(
Played it til I won. Great game! I really like the art.
I had the same problem with dying while reading the rules. I like the attempt at simulating 3D with the sizes. Reminds me of an old lunar lander game. :D
Hehe! Love the concept. Good job!
Really nice take on the theme, and innovative gameplay. Took me a try to figure out the technique, but then I was away. Great job.
Nice job, my friend! Pretty deep. :P The swapping surfaces thing is a very need idea.
I was kind of hoping for a way to make the text go faster, and it was kind of unclear what the goal was, but the mood was interesting, and it's a nice take on the theme.
I always wanted to be a kraken! :D Great idea.
I was smiling; it was so fun, but then the evil cookies came! D:
Really nice job!
Interested to see where you go with this. :_
Impressive amount of content for 48h! :o
WOW. Now that is original. Genius. I'll be playing it for the next few weeks.
Really nice animation, and I love the colors.
Nice pixels, especially the animation.
That was quite relaxing. :)
That was quite relaxing. Simple but fun, and with nice music. :)
Really cool concept, with good execution! I did find it pretty difficult, though. Nice work.
Quality game with a great mechanic and emotion.
Really nice idea, and pretty fun! You get quite a lot of depth out of the simple premise.
Cute characters and nice dialogues. I found jumping pretty difficult, but overall it's a decent entry.
Wow that's hard. But very replayable.
This was really beautiful. The telling of a story without using words was pretty masterful.
Really great audio and funky art. The game play is original and makes me think of snake in multiple dimensions. Great job.
The moral of this game seems to be love everyone, then stab them in the back when convenient. Very fun to play. :)
@TeamConn: Unfortunately I would not have been able to turn this into a Jam entry. I needed sleep, considering I had a maximum 4 hours over the weekend.
The theme might have been more evident had I included more of my original plan, but the premise was meant to be that he is reconnecting to the world of the living.
@mrexcessive: There is a key hidden at the far left of the map. This will allow you to activate the lever.
@Menesetsu: http://soundcloud.com/huruey/sinister-1 :)
@puppymythril: I'm personally quite keen on narrative based "interactive experience" type games. I prefer to prioritize experience over gameplay. To me, "gameplay" is just another tool for contributing to an experience.
@local minimum: The key required to activate the lever is on the far left of the map.
@Steven Colling: Yes, I will be making this a into a full game after my current project. :)

Dietrich Epp: I've played it on some pretty rubbishy laptops and it wasn't nearly as bad as that. I suspect something else is wrong. Could you check your power and GPU settings and let me know if anything helps?
apiotrw: Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it. Could you possibly provide any more feedback as to what you felt was missing, other than, I presume, the length? Thanks.
Nice music!
That was really cool. Well done!
Love the art. The walking animation is so characterful.
This is really great! By far the best audio I've heard this jam. Love the art style. And it all comes together so nicely.
I haven't rated this yet as it got stuck on the level select screen. It made sound effects when I clicked above the "select a level text".
I really enjoyed this, though it got incredibly difficult.
Nice one! I'll try this out with a friend tomorrow. :)
This is really great. Love the music, and there's some nice polish which really helps to add to the mood. It's a strange and interesting world so I wanted to keep playing. Well done. :)
Lovely graphics, but the difficulty is very high! Great job, especially for your first Dare.
Love the graphics! Very clean.
What a great idea to put a card game on here. Thanks for this!
No joke, I had a bacon butty while playing this. It was good. Nice work. :)
Didn't work! Just stuck on the same screen the whole time. Had to get rid of some of the bugs, myself. Overall, really great!
Lovely game. Nice take on the theme. Decent art and really nice music :)
Very funny. Love the take on the theme. xD
This was really fun! Gonna play some more :)
The battle music is awesome. Art is awesome. My highest rated game, yet.
Beautiful art, of course, and a very complete experience. Probably my favourite (completed) entry of your so far. :D
Great fun with friends. :)
Great entry. Love the ending. :)
Nice one, Anton! I love pushing people through the floor. That's not a bug, it's a feature. ;)
Haha, love it! I want one of these in real life.
Nice entry. Fun, and graphics are all in a very consistent style which is so important, but the actual scene is also very interesting. Great job, guys.
Mood. Fantastic game. Would have rated high on humour, too, if it were an option. :)
"This game is not biologically accurate." What? Which bit?
Hehe, good job, though. Short but funny. Any reason you removed humour from the categories? :)
I thought I'd respond to your comment on my game, here, too, seeing as chances are you wouldn't see it if I did so, there. There is no need to catch bullets by clicking on them, which could make things seem far harder than they are if that's what you were trying. You can slow time by clicking and holding, the--still holding the button down--drag the cursor over bullets to grab them. If you didn't realise this before, it should make it much easier to play, allowing you to get through to some of the more interesting parts of the map. :)
Thanks! :D
There is a different way around. No need to struggle on the ridiculous shielded turret. One the other route you will find this (spoiler): https://twitter.com/JoeCreates/status/592796418894655490
I think a reply is in the works for the new site. :)
The guy in the video only did that on his second run. You do not need to do that, in fact I intended players not to. He just wanted to show off, I think. ;)
You do not need to go past that turret. Try to find the other route around (go back down, then up and right), and you'll eventually find the upgrade to be able to kill shielded turrets. :)
I can;t seem to jump. Pressing L isn't doing anything. Please help.
This is actually basically the game I was aiming for when I did Spiral Wings. Just ran out of time xD
Simple, but great fun. Massive props for the MMO aspect!
I told you in my stream, but I loved it! Takes dedication to live record audio. Now I feel like a man. Many many stars for you :)
Looks good. Sorry I cheated. xD
Nice game. It's a cool idea. The fact that the good and bad pushers are in different positions really helps increase the difficulty. You have to be thinking in two places at once.
Also, thanks for playing my game! :) I appreciate you might be skeptical that I did it entirely in the weekend. If you like you can check out my twitch channel, because I livestreamed almost the entire dev ^_^
