Cute and very complete! Not just yet another platformer. Fits the theme, and I am never against another Circus game from Finland :D

Super cute graphics and good music. Liked the drill out animation among others
Wonderful yet could have gone further, I wish this had went in as a Jam as it is ambitious yet simple.
Cool little game, it was really hard to play with a trackpad. It seemed also that my attacks didn't works. At first I though I was not clicking right.
I really wish there was more game like this in my childhood :).
I felt the text was coming reaaally slow. Otherwise, well done!
Super fun! Need a goal and levels and high score!!!
We got a winner :o
They are things I don't understand though.
Are all the prisoner's from the working class?
It seems that no matter what I do to a prisoner, the working class gets more alarmed.
Then also if I cut dental care from the working class, they don't get more alarmed.
I haven't figured out how the army vs people work also...
Some sort of FAQ would be welcome. So many games to rate and review :D
Solid game, but sadly crashed, It's always challenging to create an interesting tension curve in these kind of conflict game. First you have no tension, and suddenly you have conflicts everywhere!
I like the mood, the art is cute, and the game works. It's good but I need more challenge and a challenge of little bit different nature, but I can see that you know what to do with more time.
There were only 2 players online when I tried the game so this particular session was not much fun, but the potential for a good free-for-all is there. The interactions felt a bit limited, though, with the push as the only offensive move.
Very nice and innovative entry in the right spirit of ludum dare, a complete and interesting game I can recommend to other people here..
Really good game design exploration. The game is interesting and would deserve some additional exploration. Just a little music would do so much for the mood.
Good mood and one of the best fitter for the theme. Little bit last minute level design, but the amount of work done is impressive and really really worth the try! Hope you take this game further at least for fun!
Very nice, fellow Circus game maker :)!
Very nice :), a little on the hard side, tried 3 time and got some progress but then it was time to call it.
hah :D. I wish the options were more abstract to have more surprise on the outcome. *Throws a coin*
Very good use of the theme, quickly done but interesting and fun.
The mood and the graphics are really nice. Don't be scared to take more risk on the game mechanics next time!
Great game, awesome to see a multiplayer, I guess its a challenge to get players, but this is definitely something that will be really fun at a LAN party!

oops, it double posted when I pressed back :o
Good use of the theme, I also love the tileset. A little tedious and didn't have the patience to go around for very long. Hope I didn't miss anything special.
Very fun! Good innovative and fresh idea.
Yeah we had a big problem with the animation import, the plugin is early alpha to import that sprite animation, so our animations are full of glitches. The good thing is that now we have all the time in the world to fix these small things and add the gameplay elements we wanted how we wanted. Thanks for the comments everyone!
@Scias, We were a team of 4, so no, I didn't do everything myself :) but yeah, we works hard and this would have not been possible to create in compo with our skills :D
animation problems are an issue with unity importing and corrupting some of the animation, I added a post jam version with corrected stuff
Good gameplay and use of the theme. The difficulty progress is a little slow and it seems that braking is not really an option but what racing game needs actually brakes...
Fun and hard, would play, maybe could be little more original but it is very solid. Good art, hypnotic music and some sfxr sound like we all love!
Good idea, A little bit unclear how the closing eyes and the hit box works :)
Overall very good entry. Lovely art and beautiful mood.
Fun in every meaning of the word. The mood is great, it's good to see you focused on the game mechanics and didn't stress about the graphics, I'll take this over pretty pictures anytime. The game was slightly too easy to keep me playing after 7 days, but making it harder might not be the solution either, the goal needs to be something more than just gathering money.
I like the atmosphere that you achieved, even with so little graphic resources. The music and puzzles do a lot for the game.
Good, I could imagine some additional mechanics like a slight magnetic snapping to the player
Really love the game design mastery, simple but well though, especially with the challenge mode.
You did good in every category. A great Ludum dare entry for sure, almost perfect for the format of the rating :)!
Interesting game mechanic, abstract as they should be to focus on innovation. I hope you do well in the innovation category :)
Fun and innovative, button outside the screen misses a bit the theme, I won't vote for graphics as they are n/a. I think this deserve a good overall rating. Well Done!
Nice game, interesting and has a lot of potential.
A solid entry, love the music. A little bit too much trial and error in my taste but it gets challenging in an interesting way after few fails.
It would be awesome if the speed of progress toward higher difficulty would depend on a secondary goal so it wouldn't feel like starting from 0.
Cheers, well done
solid entry :) This type of games are why I love game jams! The controls were a bit weird but yeah it's a jam ;D!
Good mood and interesting concept. I would have given a good sound rating ;D!
Very good game, a pause by pressing esc or something would have been nice. In this kind of game, I prefer some pacing with level separation.
Cool game, don't like that it reloads the whole thing after game over though :D
Good one :) Reminds me of some tower falling game I played a lot 20 years ago.
Cool Idea, funny I found it by searching "Homeland" because there is a game called homeland which is exeptional and it brough also this game up. I recognized your name because we tried at the same time a german turned based racing game (grid cars).
On this game, the balance is totally broken but it can become interesting by having slower but more deadly enemies :)
Cheers
Wow on every aspect except the game mechanics, I expected more from the settings and you were going in the right direction but maybe focused to much on polishing the look and feel. Anyway very impressive!
wow, well done!
Good mood and art but the controls are frustrating in a bad way, I mean like they feel sticky when you are at a halt.
Impressive entry, but the game is hard to control, too fast and chaotic. Nothing that can't be fixed later ;)
Cool, there was even players online :)!
Instead of just game over, have a real consequence like a nuclear reactor explode, even if it's just in the text.
Well done, fun and a little bit addictive even.
Cute gfx and nice music. Better luck next time with the gameplay. It's really hard sometimes to start from game play but it might help.
Crashes on my laptop, maybe some graphic card issue?
Simple and could be even more fun with some tweaking, go for it!
Gfx are simple but functional, great improvement on RPS, I'd love to try it as a Multiplayer live with some friend :)
Good mood and audio. I am not a fan of the background and obstacles with the same color
This game is simple, interesting, makes you want to try again. seems almost like a complete game. Fits the theme perfectly. I only skipped rating humor as I feel it does not apply. Otherwise very happy to have played it. Will play again later.
Note to other players: on ship piloting duty, move right is the E key not D.
The danger of minigames in game jam games is that it takes a lot of time and it's a bigger challenge to get the idea through or to be innovative. It is very impressive over all. I didn't figure out what to do in the cleaning minigame.
Also saw a game called un stable, about horses :D. Anyway, I think my high score was 277. Add high scores in next jam!
Congrats on completing and submitting! The music was offsetting and I didn't try longer to wait for the power up to change once my jump height was not enough. I was lacking an indicator of how long I had until that would happen.
Great. Thanks for making this! How big of a team were you?
I'm really impressed with this. The game design is really clever and the art style fits. You even had time to throw in a good amount of levels! That's where I always fail.
Nice work, everyone. This seems like a full package. I would introduce half height pillar box as well quiet early in the design. While new element appeared in the levels I felt doing the same challenge over and over (and it was fun).. That was my 2 cents!
It's cool, would be nice to have your own dev highscores on each level as well. I felt sometimes like, no matter what I did the object would continue in that direction, like moving the arm gave it extra momentum which does not happen in real life. Thanks for playing my game.
The perfect platform to try those ideas! Very much wow :) nice surprise!
Interresting puzzle mechanics!
Thanks for your comment, having made a text based game as well I checked your game also first! Graphics are so 2010 :)
Nice jellyfish physics, you succeeded to make it really feel like one, I gave a bit extra rating on overall score for that. Felt the theme was hard to fit to Jellyfish even how you did it. Nice game.
This game... Is why I love LD... I can't believe how much you've done. That video was hilarious and the whole concept after that portrays so well testing game jam games :) Always something wrong stopping the game from starting.
Hi, nevermind not finishing, you'll scope better next time. I give good on mood and innovation, it is good to explore possibilities in game jams and that's something you did.
Thought of keep talking and nobody explodes right away. I think it should be VR too :)
Page not found. Love the screenshots, will try once you correct the link
@tesseract Thanks, I'll try to update the spoilers. I wanted to make sure people would see the password easily, but I think most people don't assume it can be multiple times in memory (just with different corrupted characters.
@nekowei hmm it's case sensitive, needs to be in lower case. Was this the cause? or might be a console text glitch saying you need ack but it has already been accepted, you can try "help"
@xpoho очень нестабильный
That was a real joy to play!
Very impressive amount of work with all categories quite well in balance. I was thinking that the shooting feels quite good, moving and dodging little less, maybe a lack of feedback on getting hit, but otherwise what more can we ask for 48 hours ;)!
