I loved it -- I think I only won because the AI took pity on me ;) I had this playlist as my background music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmAja6hgq_k&list=PL2EFD9040A440A798

Really enjoyed this, Arne! I really enjoyed the music, it set a good tone for the gameplay. I felt awesome beating the first level, then realized I hadn't won the game and I was scared :P Cool gameplay, and great side art :)
Friggin' awesome, I read all of the pages I think? I loved it :P Things like this always make me think "I NEED TO MAKE SOMETHING IN TWINE" but then I never do :'(
Awesome entry, I love the movement on a sphere and how you represent everything, drawing the lines down to the surface makes it really clear where everything is. I'd love to see this polished!
Interesting experimental game, very nice style and mood. I don't mind that it doesn't tell you if you lost, but I was able to get all the data-sperm black, so then I "submitted" that and just got a black screen that I didn't see a way out of. Seemed more like a bug instead of having some sort of resolution. I like your ideas, though, I'm going to check out your other works :)
Awesome entry, very original. I'm a sucker for music games, and even though I'm terrible at this I think you've done a really amazing job here. Well done!
I feel like... it's so bizarre it's awesome :P I feel like it has the imagination of 90's PC games, and I love the graphics and atmosphere. The game right now isn't particularly gripping, but I feel like with just a little bit of work this could be a really surprising sleeper hit. I love the multi-tasking aspect... I don't know, I can't put my finger on it but I really like it :D
Very nice entry, I like the mechanic and going with the audio always works wonders :) Good job!
Fun family entry :) Reminds me of a lot of the ideas I had for games when I was young, very cool!
Interesting, and I do laud you for making something in 6 hours :D I don't really understand what I was doing other than clicking as fast as possible in the same areas, though :P I like the writing, would be interesting to see something from you that was more focused on that.
Really like the idea of this, not sure why but there's always something about moving around in a circle or on a sphere that's interesting. I'd love to see this polished up into something bigger! Very fun, lots of possibilities going forward with it :)
Sorry I feel like I "get it", but it didn't really affect me. Just not for me, maybe, but kudos for doing something different and non-gamey :)
The difficulty of the controls was made worse because the game closes after each time you fail instead of getting a chance to restart quickly. The music is great, though, and I do enjoy the feel of the art :) I'd just try making it a little bit easier to control the steering; I know it's supposed to be like controlling a boat, but it seemed even harder than steering a canoe to me :P
Fun warioware-type :) Nice entry!
The ghost scared me :P Otherwise I think you should mention that it's not really complete, there's no win condition or even a lose condition :P The tension was there, just needs some work. I've also got a lantern in my game :)
Really awesome! SPOILERS: I love that you made it so you have to play multiple times, but I'm glad I got the hint in the comments :P Great story, art, SFX, etc. Definitely want to check out your other work!
Pretty much awesome :P Very satisfying SFX, graphics, and gameplay. Squish! *****
Honestly I thought this had some trick to it so I kept failing the first tutorial, but then I realized it was just exactly like any Tactics game... I was kinda disappointed. Didn't really take much strategy at all, so I was over-thinking it. I don't mean to sound too harsh, it's cool you got a tactics-type game working in 48 hours :D But it would've been really nice to see some twist other than only one turn.
Awesome art, music, and overall presentation. The gameplay itself isn't really innovative and I didn't have much fun playing personally, but I also haven't played Dark Souls yet, either :P Anyway, not really a game for me, but I love the presentation so I definitely want to see more of your stuff :)
Beautiful entry! Graphics and music are superb, and the gameplay idea is really interesting. I feel like the mechanics could be worked on of course but I really like the idea of being forced to "chain" attacks with the rocket fist, very cool. One of my favorite entries.
I love the feel of the game, and the idea is very interesting, kinda Pokemon-esque. Could definitely be explored further. Inspiring to me to try a small RPG next time :)
Full 5 stars from me, this is incredible! I think it fits the theme very well, "you only get one" string of sounds to play, it makes sense to me anyway :P
Seriously get this on iOS and Android ASAP and make sure to get it noticed and you'll have a hit!
Nice game, the post-compo one is MUCH easier to play, but partially because there's a bug where you can use both thrusters :P Good entry :)
Fun and very tense! It was a bit hard for me :P I think with a little bit of polish it could be really great!
Yeah, this is just awesome. First full 5 star rating I've given :)
Great entry! Played to the end and really enjoyed it. I love the feeling of being a floating prize claw :D Seems like this could be explored a lot more; very cool!
Wow, I really liked this once I figured it out :) I like that you make it so you can link together modules, it's very well-planned. One of the first games I've played in the competition where I see how it could be developed into a full game -- that I would pay money for :)
Really nice art and I like the idea but I didn't really get hooked on the gameplay. The lag thing felt glitchy instead of like a juice effect. Could be really cool with some more polish :)
Very cool, nice to see another Lovecraftian entry :) The mechanics are really interesting, a little bit of Katamari Damacy mixed with Lovecraft. Great job!
Wow, that was awesome! Great writing and presentation. Now I need to check out your other games :D
Hilarious, and fits the theme perfectly :) Played like I was on the game show, that's the best praise I can give! Really polished overall.
Great artwork and music! I got through the first stage, then it feels like it just resets, but I don't know if that's moving to a new stage. I thought Zoe's hitbox wasn't too clear, either. Cool entry, I'd like to see it polished :)
Really nice artwork. I was getting really bad frame-rate in Chrome, around 15 FPS. Jumping and gameplay itself didn't do much for me.
Cute little characters, and lots of weapon variation. The game didn't ramp up the challenge enough, though, so I got bored after playing to wave 33 or so.
Awesome! I love the prisoner number being announced (and changing), the gameplay mechanics work really well, and the ending is hilarious. Great entry.
Simple entry, but the gameplay and layouts are well-designed. Good job, I played it to the end and enjoyed it :)
Wow, this is my favorite entry so far. Great polish, fun gameplay. I really love the Star Fox vibe with the art and sounds. Definitely make the intro skippable, though! And add a little portrait of the dude talking ;)
Really fun, Graham! I love the simplicity, and it's definitely doable, just needs some patience. I understand about not releasing too many levels in case they aren't beatable for the jam. You should definitely expand this and put it on some game portals :)
Great music and I like the art. I like how it plays with your expectations :) SPOILER: I wasn't able to figure out any combination to save the baby, is that the message or am I just messing up :P Great job!
Can't get it to run for Chrome or Internet Explorer. I followed the instructions for Chrome and it still didn't work. Looks interesting :(
Great work, I especially like the pace of combat. My only complaint is that it's really unclear when I'm being hit. Definitely worth polishing into a post-comp release!
Nice entry! I really love the art style :)
Really love this game; I'm terrible at it, but there's something about it that I keep coming back and trying to get better. Great job!
Hilariously fun, I know it doesn't fit the theme at all but I found myself not really caring :P
I LOVED this, the ending was adorable and really made it feel like I accomplished something :3 I thought the gameplay was great; it was challenging but not frustrating, because I knew what I was doing wrong whenever I hit a snag. Great job, glad you had the idea!
Amazing, my favorite game so far!
Great job! Really amazing, I just wish there were some music and sounds to round it out :)
I love the visual style you've got going with this :)
Incredible! For a 48 hour game I really can't give any serious crits :D
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare :) Unfortunately after spending a while trying to figure out if I could use the cell phone I ended up quitting... even being somewhat familiar with IF I just wasn't sure what to do :(
Clever, especially for such a short amount of time. I totally get the connection to the theme; I actually had an idea where you'd be surrounded by people on a busy city street, but how you can still feel alone in that situation :)
Could be an interesting start to something bigger :)
I really wanted to finish, but got to 34/35 and gave up :( I really like the art and music, and the concept is cool, but why 35? Just a little too much when it's essentially the same thing the whole time.
I laughed, too, the humor works really well with the mood :)

Cool, good job :) Can it be beaten? I think I got everyone and nothing happened.
