Another Monkey dev! Great game :D I like the increased dodging speed as you approach collision. Really neat action. Or maybe that's just my system catching up.

Another Monkey dev! Great game :D I like the increased dodging speed as you approach collision. Really neat action. Or maybe that's just my system catching up.
Very well done all around. The visuals are great. Destroying humans is always a plus :D
That is a small lizard.
It's actually a fun little racer once you get used to the controls. Good job :D
5 Innovation stars for GBA game :D Needs explosions, then it will be AAA.
Good execution, but why is the world so small?
Nice little puzzle platformer. And the GiDOS dialog is great :D
Great job for you first game! Hope to see you at the next LD :D
Great name and good little game :D
Nice graphic effects and concept. Not sure how it fits the theme, but whatever!
Nice idea, and great style. Could really use some sounds, tho. Overall great job for your first LD! :)
This is very well done! Excellent work on the little details like animations, and camera control. Ya! JUMPY!
Not much to it as far as game play, but I love the voxel work. Nice job :)
The name alone gets five stars from me in nearly every category.
I am an expensive date.
Nice job :) It's hard not to get carried away and KILL ALL THE ALIENS
Very fun! The control scheme was easy to get the hang of and the levels had the right amount of challenge to them.
Omg, it's the cutest game I've ever seeeeen
Great game! The music is awesome :D
Bootman.
Love the style!
Love the music and the interpretation of the theme. Things were going well until the fly kept flying off the screen :P
Thanks for the kind words, my good man. Unfortunately, you are stuck on that little world forever, for there is no end :(
This is what happens when I wait until the last hour to code the actual mechanics of the game.
Mt favorite part is making the purple dudes dance to the beat by going in and out of doors repeatedly.
Love the graphic style, and it's a funny idea. Controls take some getting used to.
Excellent job on the ending :)
Nifty little game! Good job on putting a solid puzzler together.
Simple mechanic, but actually quite fun! Great job :)
Kudos for thinking outside the box! It does feel a little too random in its current state, but it's a good base for a unique game mechanic. Keep developing it!
Love the graphic style. And I can't argue with throwing dead babies.
A really good start! I would have picked some different sounds, though. The explosion sound hurts me ears
It's so tiny and genius!
Nice particle effects, and the best music I've heard yet!
Very cool game. One of the best ones I've rated so far :) Don't know how you found time to come up with all the levels!
You blinded me with science.
Fantastic idea. I made extensive use of "make love." Incidentally, there was genocide.
Easily my favorite gave of the compo! The gameplay, graphics, and sound design all came together for you. Great job :D
So you don't give your friends to the birds??
Love the mechanic and the art! Well done!
Loved it! Killed the last three with only 10 life remaining. Was intense :D
Interesting idea. Wasn't able to move, but didn't need to. Good little game :)
Nice game! Love the victory and defeat screens :D
Who would have thought that the only way to save my burger would be with carrockets.
Cubetastic!
I agree with everyone else that the controls take some getting used to, but the graphics and camera movement are really nice! Also, I would have liked to have been able to destroy the planet myself.
And I think the world could have been a little bigger.
Graphics are excellent. Bouncing myself into a wicked orbit was very enjoyable. My only gripe is that the slow speed of the bullets combined with my ridiculous orbitous speed made it so I could not hit anything. Although, the planet explosion was pretty awesome.
Frightening. In a good way.
Wow! Pretty nice for a 48 hour game. I wasn't able to collect any of the slimes tho :( It made the sound, but that was it.
Slick little platformer you got there.
Very well done little defender game! Plus, love the tool-tips, which are always welcome in LD games :D
Really nice job. Love the concept and the ship interactions. Took me a while to figure out my mouse wasn't working, because I had my xbox controller plugged in :P Works great with the controller though.
GOT THE BANANA!!1
Love the music. This is the second fruit-collecting feet-ant-stomping game I've played. You must have caught whenever was going around
Neither the Web nor the Windows versions are starting when I press space :(
Nice idea! Couldn't catch the fish to save my life. Luckily, there was no death.
I WON! Not too bad for your first! One thing is that for some reason on the second page of each level, you could hold jump and float.
Great little puzzle game! Great job on the simple graphics and moody tune :D
Sometimes it's about creating the experience, amiright?? Nice job on the graphics and funny dialog :D
Nice job! I was almost at 100 when I got pushed off the bottom-right corner of the screen on the Dino boss. It was very sad :(
Controls took some getting used to, but overall a nice concept. Good job :)
I love the graphics and the motion of it all. Never wanted to make a phone call more in my life!
+1,000,000 for Kittens.
Good choice going with the fog. Makes me feel extra tiny :)
You've got a future in puzzle games. And any kind of games. Keep it up!
Love the artwork! Couldn't help but make a mess of the place, sorry :(
This is really cool. You should have more ratings!
Interesting take on the theme. The graphical deterioration gets the message across pretty well. A little music would've helped knock a few more stars out of me, particularly in the Mood category :)
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!
Fits the theme pretty well. I like it :D
The music is epic and the action is frantic. Great job!
Killer music! Pressing enter advances the conversation a little too quickly, so I was having some trouble there.
Playing this game made me feel like I could carry 50 times my body weight in pixels.
Took me a while to figure out that you can kick the little things, which I can only assume are potatoes. Great job though. Fits the theme perfectly!
Love the idea and effect of the room. Would like to see those other challenges!
Tough game. Love the visual style.
+1000 for epic potato.
Great job. Starts out simple then gets tough quick.
Nice and clean. Now that we're all master distraction eliminators the next LD should be AMAZING!
I escaped the minimalism!
You didn't tell us about the red ones! Needs more levels!! Needs nightmare mode where the map resets on each death!!! Great job!!!!
You need to keep making games and never stop.
I agree with the others that the controls are a little tough to get used to, but you've got the workings of a minimalized dungeon here. Hope you had fun making it :D Keep at it!
Not bad for your second LD. Keep it going, I want to see what else you have up your sleeves!
I like it. Fits the theme well and the music is great :D Good job!
Played it all the way through. You are a very talented story-teller :)
Best potato physics I've ever seen in a game.
Don't know if it's just my computer, but I sometimes experience extreme slow-down in the middle of a jump making things difficult. Interesting take on the theme, though!
The total package.
All potatoes can be reached. Don't give up! ;D
It can be done. You just have to forget everything you know about everything then proceed to GET THE POTATOOOO
I am truly humbled by all of the kind things being said about this game. Although I don't think you all realize that you're saying these things about a game that involves getting a potato.
A postato-mortem is coming in which I'll go over all the audio goodies as far as recording and syncing with the light, so keep your eyes.. peeled!
As for those that are struggling with the first few levels, I REALLY want to help you out, you have no idea, but if I do I will violate the integrity of the game, as minimal instruction is partly how I interpreted the theme. Maybe I will put spoilers in the postato-mortem, I dunno... Thanks for playing the game, at any rate :D
I love you all! L-D-4-8-4-LYFE
I love everything about this game, even when I had 9 slimes and 2 bats on the first room :D Great job!
Great job for your first LD! How do I unlock the lower door? I put the light on the thing!
Loved the 'R' level for shameful and obvious reasons :D Great job!
I like that it uses more realistic physics which makes it different. Good job!
I like the style, and it feels good to play. Actually spelling a word is quite the task.
Great job. Procedural generation is always a good exercise :D Had some issue with transitioning between levels in the applet, but desktop version is fine.
Really well done, all around. The audio, the mood, the fear. It's all there!
Ripping through the house on the potato level is one of the most gratifying things I have ever experienced.
Pretty complex little puzzle mechanic creeping under the surface of this minimalist game :P Still fun, though. Great job!
You have accomplished all.
I love everything about this.
Really interesting visual style. Curious as to what your inspiration was for it. I also enjoyed that it was more slow-paced than your typical shooter.
Don't know how I feel about potatoes being bad, but I likes!
Love the concept. Keep going with it!
I've been rating games all day and this is my favorite one so far. I know the Breakout with items dropping thing has been done before, but this still seemed really clever to me. SFX and music are on point, too!
I don't care what anyone says, your decisions with this game (reverse snake, 45 degrees, and head/tail flipping) are spot on. Great job!
Nothing like a good top-down shooter :D Good job. Only issue I had is sometimes the yellow border sticks around, causing a skippage of levels.
Resolution is too high for my laptop. Can only see the bottom 2/3 of the screen and can't move the window :( Will try from my desktop machine and rate later.
