Nice, different game.
Not sure how to catch a fish. I hold to cast, then release when the line "jiggles", but I never see anything happen. A bunch of the game seems cut off on my monitor (1440x900) (e.g. the instructions on the right are cut off, and maybe other things)
Great concept, nice backgrounds, but the first level was much more difficult than the subsequent ones - all the mechanics are just thrown at you right away. It was also hard to see around the level - it would be better if the camera could zoom out.
Crashes when I try to run it
Download links don't work (I dunno if google drive is down or something, but it says "resource unavailable")
Nice game, played to victory. Sometimes the characters were not visible at all though (between two rooms)
I'm not very good at these kinds of games (especially once you start getting into wall jumping), but this is well done. Nice simple graphics (character blobiness is nice), good sound effects. Not sure how it fits with the theme though, since it's kind of the opposite of one room ;-)
Well that was strange!
High points for mood :-) But I don't really know what's going on. Does moving around have any effect on anything? I created some food and PCB.
It looks like it has been updated since the close of the compo (the version in the link says it was uplaoded 4 days ago, so Dec 14). Do you have the original version?
Nice and simple, good for a LD.
Great game, very innovative concept! Didn't like the music though...
Great job... some tricky platforming there, but nice use of theme. Still can't figure out the level where the flag is on the left sandwiched tightly between two platforms...
I can't seem to control the character in the "past" tab. No matter when I click, he doesn't move (though I hear the duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh walking sound). I really want to play!
The controls slowed me down a lot. Also I had several packages with an orange/white/green flag that were rejected on all belts. Maybe I don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing? Nice graphics and concept though, and with better controls this would be fun!
Nice atmosphere/graphics, but the rubies blocks came fast, so they are hard to avoid (or catch before they go through the floor)
Neither Chrome or Edge supports the Unity Webplayer, so I can't play your game. Why not upgrade your Unity and build for WebGL?
Nice work... could use a little more strategy/variety though (but hey, 48 hours)? I played through about 9 encounters.
Good job on the furniture modeling.
It's super hard for me, so I can't play enough of it to actually give ratings. But I will say it's pretty impressive from what I've seen! There's a lot of nice polish and it actually feels like a shipped game, not a compo game :-)
Really nice graphics, I made it to around 30 days :-). It's a lot of work being a person.
The links don't appear to work? There's nothing there...
Nice simple game, cute graphics. The high scores didn't work for me in the embedded web game due to security stuff ("no valid cross domain policy available to allow access"). Too bad, I would have liked to see how high people got (I got 37).
Is there a reason you used the deprecated Unity web player (which doesn't work in Chrome anymore, I had to fire up an old version of IE), instead of WebGL?
Well that gets intense quickly! It's simple, but there's something incredibly satisfying about unleashing a torrent of bullets on tons of enemies.
I had no performance issues, and the Xbox 360 controller worked fine for me (I used the html5 version). Nice job!
Definitely challenging. Or maybe it's late and I've had too much wine, lol.
The shape switch effect and sfx were good.
Nice job taking into account colorblind people.
Also, fyi you can shave about 35MB off the download size by deleting the .pdb files (they're used for debugging only).
Cute game, and there could be some interesting mechanics to expand on here. Like others said, wish there were more levels ;)
I found myself wanting to explore the world, but kept getting into battle.
I like the idea, but unfortunately it was too hard to find words that worked (I didn't look at the spreadsheet). I just kept using Wolf because it was stronger than any other words that worked for me. Only about 1 out of 10 words that I tried worked (really? no dragon?), so that made battle frustrating.
I think it's a cool concept though. Some things that would help:
- scope it to words that relate to things the player has encountered in the world. So that way the player has something to reference.
- crowdsource it :-). Have some server where people can upload words and descriptions. Maybe each unique player has x damage points to distribute among the words they submit.
Some of the sprite designs were very nice.
Cool concept, but it seems it would be even better if the amount of potential energy was relevant. As far as I can tell, from any drop at all, you can then become airborne indefinitely. With more constraints, I think there could be some interesting puzzles. But maybe it's just more about fine controls in flying around?
I really like the trippy mood with the fuzzy/faded/flickering graphics.
Oh man, almost got to halfway green, but then I turned back into an alien because I was too far away from my ship, haha
The blinking eyes are a nice touch, and the beam effect is pretty cool :-)
I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do. I turned into a bird and kept flying up on platforms, but my score didn't go up much (220). Turning into an animal didn't seem to help much. What does the saw form do?
I really do like the menu system and the cool simplistic look of the game though. That's nicely done.
Great entry! Really nice atmosphere and music. Graphics were taxing on my PC though :P
I think it's a great concept, but can get bogged down in the number of available maps. I think if you take it further (and it's a good idea, so you should), maybe make the puzzles harder, but with less maps available at any one time?
Very cool concept. Love the idea of customizing your ship like that... shields, weapons, boosters all in the place I want.
Graphics are also very crisp. Some nice touches, like the contrails on the rockets (I wish they made a sound though).
Some critiques:
- by going slowly I never really needed to swap the ship much - just for going through narrow sections.
- the layout editor didn't work very well, it never dropped the components where I wanted - not sure if it's a mouse accuracy problem with the HTML5 version or what.
- couldn't figure out how to get rid of dead components, and sometimes I left that good components just vanished.
- it was unclear what the level goals were. Kill all enemies? Reach a certain point? I got to level 4 (I think), and killed everyone (I think), but never got the "level completed".
Overall, a really need concept though - it would be cool to see it taken further.
Definitely one of the best I've seen in the jam. Hilarious, innovative, and fun! Always kept me cracking up to see how contorted I could make him!
And the sound effects... brilliant.
Nice puzzle game that progresses steadily. Good job!
I did find the classes difficult to distinguish though - It would have been nice if their shapes were more different from each other.
The moving backgrounds are a bit annoying, I think you could have just left that out. Sometimes I just found myself losing track of what was going on and gazing at it :P
Nice :-). Takes a while, but not too long to figure out what's going on, then the difficulty ramps up nicely. And it's like... so true.
Love the music.
Once I figured out the rules, this is pretty cool - and ties nicely into the story.
I just wish the text were faster (I am impatient person ;-)), and that it didn't look so blurry (because of the shadow).
Overall, very well done though!
It seems to have a bug (at least the Unity web player version)? I can't exit the first room. Like, no matter where I click around the exit door, the player doesn't go through. Also, the UI could use some work.
Other than that, it seems like a really awesome concept! The special effects are great. The lighting is beautiful. If you can explain how to get out of the first room, I'll take another look, because I want to play more levels!
I'm not sure what to do. I reach the statue, but can't leave that room. The other world only appears when I'm next to the statue.
Really cool concept. The controls make it really difficult to use. I thought it would be easier with the gamepad, but nope. Not sure how to get past the top of the stairs. I tried jumping from yellow world into grey world (since that's the platform that seemed in reach), but that didn't work...
With some polish on the controls, I think this would be really cool.
Great job... the way the audio interacts with the action is superb. As are all the subtle touches of polish everywhere. One of the most impressive entries I've seen so far!
Really impressive for 48 hours. It's so expansive!
The graphics and overall aesthetic are really polished and beautiful!
It's confusing what levels the platforms are on though, and that makes it really hard to play. Encountering that long staircase after the first checkpoint was so daunting given the difficultly in seeing where to jump.
Really hard game, but overall really nicely done. The first idea I had for my game was very similar, but I didn't think I could execute it well. But you did! The faces on the shapes are a nice touch too. Smooth camera zoom was some nice polish.
Superb graphics and polished feel! Would be nice to have some upgrades and stuff, but this level of polish is really impressive for 48 hours!
I was able to kill one dinosaur, but I can't really do anything after that. I'm blocked at both ends, I can't climb the tree... how do I proceed?
The look and atmosphere are great. And the controls feel awesome (with my gamepad)!
Just needs some missions and gameplay ;-)
Neat concept, and the graphics and feel were really good. I did find the controls hard to use though. The response was sluggish, which makes it hard to toggle to the right shape. I also found myself wanting to watch the battle unfold above, but I guess that distraction is part of gameplay :-) It would be nice to be able to see the reward for my careful alignment of shapes without making me miss the next shape!
I thought the controls were very difficult to use. Very hard to aim at an object, and it would be nice to have some feedback that I'd copied something.
Once I figured it out though, it was pretty cool swapping objects and seeing what would happen! Plants flying into the air!
I'm not really sure what my goal is though - got through the door and then wreaked havoc in the office. That was fun, but then what?
Graphics are nicely done.
Seems like it has potential, but I was never able to escape the maze, even in easy mode. I suck :-(. Sometimes I dashed myself to an isolated island from which there was no escape. Without knowing beforehand where I'll end up, how can I manage to avoid that?
It's really beautiful, I absolutely love the presentation and the feel. It is a bit confusing to play, but I at least reached all the points I see in the screenshots.
I agree with someone else here that wrote that it feels like a very personal story. Games are definitely a great medium for storytelling!
Haha, OMG. Love the sound effects.
I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do, but it definitely is creepy! The mood is setup nicely, and I definitely got spooked when i realized the maze had changed when I went back to where I was. Nice job.
Really like the models, and the chaos when everyone's attacking you (especially the T-rex's). I never did find the gamepad... nor was I able to enter a device. Can you enter the T-rex's to take control of them? I tried, but nothing happened...
I was a little confusing trying to figure out which animals kill which enemies (the traps make more sense). And it took me a while to figure out how to win the level. I got to level 3, how many more levels are there?
The graphics and mood are amazing though. Really like the painterly style! Good job.
Really like the character movements, and just how the environment feels. Very nicely done.
I'm not generally a fan of these kinds of games, but this is really well put together. It pulled me in enough that I made it to level 32 after a few tries :-). Very polished and well-designed.
Love the look and feel and atmosphere of this!
Cute game, I enjoyed the owls - especially that second to last level with a whole bunch of them (even though that was easy).
Could use a little more polish on the movement, level transitions - but hey, it's a game jam. I'd like to see some harder puzzles too. And if you can't find good background music (it's too repetitive) I would suggest maybe just going with ambient noises.
I really like the background graphics. I find the controls sluggish though. I think it's because the jump key is only registered on the up... feels weird.
Also I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be collecting. I see some objects, but most of them the cat just ignores (they don't disappear when get stands on them, walks up to them)
Couldn't play because no Windows version
997! Neat game, well done.
Looks like it might be neat, but I couldn't figure out how to get into the game. It always says "All Destroyed", even though (I think) I managed to put two players on different teams.
Also the game froze when I put focus in another window, and then back to the game (though I've seen this in other LD entries, so it may be whatever library you're using)
Trippiest graphics I've seen so far in LD...
I couldn't really understand what was going on, or how to use the "atomihook". But I seemed to get better scores when I just didn't do anything :-)
I found it hard to play, but I like the concept :-)
Very strange, I couldn't really figure out what to stuck. Seems like I got stuck. Can you get into a situation where there is no way out?
Anyway, I like the graphics, and this game is definitely unique :-)
Looks like a neat concept, but I am having a lot of trouble with the controls.
The tiny window is a nice touch!
Hmm, I can't figure out how to "zoom out". I placed a purple thing, but nothing seems to be happening. Anything but self-explanatory (and I'm playing the "non-buggy" version).
I also agree the instructions are confusing (for the reason the first poster mentioned). Neat concept though.
Fun, but I wish you didn't put someone back at the beginning of the game for dying in a level!
Haha, simple mechanics but very original concept :-)
A very unusual game... neat concept. I found it a little rough around the edges (hard to get a feel for the layout of each level), but it was pretty fun. I think some sound effects of the whos screaming would be nice.
Simple mechanic, but well done and nice graphical style.
I really like what you're trying to do here, but I think it starts off pretty hard. I would prefer a more gradual introduction. Progress (for me anyway) seemed slow, like a wasn't getting anywhere (I did manage to unlock all 4 worlds), but it seems if there were a gradual ramp up players could feel like they were making significant progress.
I'm only criticizing it because I think it has potential. Overall very well done :-)
Great music and very nice graphics. Interesting gameplay mechanics too. It seemed a bit too easy, but overall this is very well done.
I can't see any lizard... nothing is moving. Though the music is nice and the shimmering around the screen's edges is nice.
Oddly fun...
The graphics are really nice, and I was surprised at how many things I figured out how to do. However, the god never seemed to change expression at all, so I'm not sure how to judge if what I did was good or bad. His mouth/eyes flickered briefly, but I couldn't tell if that meant anything.
Interesting concept, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to save the buildings or destroy them? (It was more fun to destroy them :-)).
errr... how do you get from planet to planet?
Well done, especially for 48 hours. I think I got stuck though, I only got 3 friends after having pissed off Maria by buying her wine! She really should have told me what she wanted...
Simple, but nice. I agree about getting rid of the dialog boxes.
I agree with some of the other comments. Neat concept, once I got it. Just a few implementation issues that if fixed would make it a lot better:
- I didn't realize for a long time that my position was shown on the map. It's very subtle, consider making it more obvious.
- What is the key for? I didn't seem to need it.
- The arrow key movement is annoying - I think when changing directions I should also try to move in the new direction. And maybe key strokes should be buffered.
- The colors of the tiles didn't match what I would expect to be walkable.
Interesting concept... I think I was about to win (I think I need to smash all planets together then send it to the sun?), but the game hangs for me whenever I switch away to another window then back.
It looks nice and has great atmosphere, but I don't really "get it". I just die when I reach the final screen with the 3 rooms with parallel bars...
I managed to escape the universe after several tries! But the difficulty level was drastically different each time due to random factors.
This is the best game I've played yet in this compo. Great job!
How do I run a .jar file?
The link to the Windows binary just seems to be a zip file with source code. There is no executable.
Um... shouldn't this be a game jam entry then? The 48-hour compo rules state that it has to be done solo.
I'd really like to rate this, but I find it way too difficult to play, so I don't think it would be fair. I can't last more than 5 or 10 seconds.
I like the music though :-)

Very impressive effort the compo. And the special effects are great. And the music getting faster and faster and more tense. Very polished!
Terrace Territory by SpacialSeasoning 2021-05-12T01:34:35Z ♥ 1
I can't really figure out what to do. I think I got past level 1, since I saw some colored balls falling around one of the plants, and then the level reset with new things and a new graph.
I don't really understand what's going on though. Why do objects change shape when I pick them up? And the laser beam changes color?
Unholy Hole by RafaBriet 2021-05-11T00:59:47Z ♥ 1
Checkpoints sure would have been nice :-). I got far enough in to kill a few baddies, but kept dying during the big drops... I'm not sure how I'm supposed to anticipate where to move?
Also, I see other people commenting on the audio, but I didn't hear much other than the attack sounds and some barely audible whistling for the background ambience.
Street Spark Racing by BytingGames 2021-05-10T23:28:58Z ♥ 1
Ha! One of the best ones I've played so far. I just wish the controls were better! I was enjoying the strategies of taking shortcuts and kicking my friend's car back, but still had too much trouble maneuvering and kicking to be able to finish the final race. Really clever and polished (except for some of the controls).
Miner Rescue by mjbelanic 2021-05-10T23:09:38Z ♥ 1
Cool game. Would be nice to have some sort of HUD to show where everyone is, so I know which general areas to head for. Wasn't too much of a problem, because I didn't get that close to 50 (maybe around 30), but I assume if I did it would end up being an issue. Agree with the player who mentioned getting stuck on walls - often had to use more energy than I wanted to get unstuck.
Dig 'Till You Drown! by Yeomsley 2021-05-10T23:00:42Z ♥ 1
I think the controls could use a little work, but overall the game works pretty well. Played the WebGL version, and didn't have any performance issues!
DigDig by Pixelhurricane 2021-05-10T22:33:37Z ♥ 0
Ok, this is actually pretty neat. It felt buggy at first (with how quickly I was moving, making it hard to position myself), until I understood what was going on - the tutorial screen didn't help when I originally read it. It's so fast paced it's hard to develop a strategy for though! But pretty impressive effort for a game jam.
Ludum Deep thought by Glimmer 2021-05-10T22:25:57Z ♥ 0
Very original concept. I was confused at first because I thought I needed to rotate the cube, and didn't understand (originally) how the text on the other sides was related. Still not sure what "ld:" means? ... actually ok, I just realized that's probably ID? Like a unique idea for each thought?
The Circles of Purrgatory by sevkron 2021-05-10T22:18:42Z ♥ 1
What an unusual game! Very different. I found it pretty difficult after the first day. I think the way my brain works makes it very difficult to consider what judgement to use while all the distractions are happening. If you meant it to be stressful, it worked :-). Also, love the music and sound effects.
The Key by Zohar 2021-04-30T23:40:47Z ♥ 2
I won! I want to know which drugs you were on when you made the art, because I want some! Also, I really enjoyed the music.
Altum Square by Ennacirruh 2021-04-30T23:34:44Z ♥ 0
I think I keep running into a bug where I stopped being able to control the red box. Pretty neat concept though! I think you should take this further!
Low Pipe by SpaceGuinea Productions 2021-04-30T23:26:04Z ♥ 1
Depth 613, Health 999999. Awesome! Simple, but pretty fun! Agree with the commenter that the enemies should be a different color (or shape).
Speleo by H0pe86 2021-04-30T23:12:34Z ♥ 1
Yay, I won! Love the music.
OBLIGATE ANAEROBE UT ALTIUS by Itzemii 2021-04-30T23:06:29Z ♥ 1
I'm not really sure what I'm doing? I assumed I had to eat the red ones (because I assume that's iron?), and avoid the blue ones? But neither seemed to really push me up or down, so I'm kind of confused....
Deep Memory by Gastoon 2021-04-30T22:53:44Z ♥ 1
I think I've clicked on everything, not sure what to do! But I really like the art :-)
Puzzle Cove by MaggardJosh 2021-04-30T22:34:14Z ♥ 1
Very impressive and solid puzzle mechanics. I didn't make it past the 2 key, 2 block, 1 fish puzzle, but I really enjoyed what I played!
Vile Things by JakobTheQuizGuy 2021-04-30T22:09:28Z ♥ 1
Oh my... those are super trippy aliens. Especially the dark ones that spawn all that purple stuff. Love the graphics, very creative! Lasted until I got attacked by a whole bunch of the alligator-jaws-in-a-head things....
Well Darn by ick 2021-04-30T22:00:42Z ♥ 1
So moody. Great job with the music!
Worry by CrispyBun 2021-04-30T21:53:47Z ♥ 1
Very nice... simple to pick up. I got to level 4 or 5 before I found it too difficult. Very moody!
1 in a billion by EvoGenGames 2021-04-29T00:22:33Z ♥ 1
Interesting concept. Enjoyable, but the controls are very unresponsive, which makes it hard to know how to control the "main character". When they turn upside down, do the arrow keys reverse? I was in the lead until nearly the end, but then I got stuck and started going backwards... didn't matter in the end because the egg was not there. Also, the sound is clipping quite a bit on the web version, must be too many of those little guys for whatever engine this is to handle!
The Falling Knight V.S the Endless Pit of Dark Despair by ilPrinny 2021-04-28T23:54:03Z ♥ 1
Impressive effort for 48 hours! Very hard though!

Hahaha... nice ending. And cute graphics, good job!
Taaanks! by Squerf 2021-04-26T23:39:59Z ♥ 1
For anyone else that is confused, you're able to move with both the C and N keys, and it moves in the direction the tank is aiming (it's unclear what the icon for move is in the game's font).
