Interesting take on the theme. Too easy though, can pretty much go on for ever. Fun but needs some obstables etc. to avoid perhaps?

Either I suck, of this is difficult :)
Cool idea. played very slow when I tried.
I cannot get past level two :) fun to play
Cool graphics and fun to play. I did get feeling this would have been more fun as a rhythm-game though as I just ended up smashing 1-4 with no clear strategy :).
Well polished though.
Nice game.
:)
Had a couple of graphics glitches on the webplayer
Good idea. Only a bit tough and the controls need some minor tweaking to make it nice and smooth. Overall good idea and game
fun little game. very well done
Cool game, but fail to see how this is linked to the theme?
Extremely well made. Good fun. If you suck at it like me though it gets a bit tedious going through the same order time after time. Still did not stop me playing though. Good work
This was cool and fun. Definitely something that can be built upon. Get challenging very quickly.
This game has so many possibilities and strategic ideas you could throw at it. Very nice entry
fun game.just a bit tough.
:)
190. control challenging to master, but lots of fun. Get quite difficult. Considering this is a compo entry, very well done indeed. Kudos.
LOL. well I guess I am not postmodern enough :)
You now have to finish this game, leaving us all hanging like this would just make you a monster :)
fun game. A few graphic glitches. Gameplay needs a bit more variety to make it fun. Overall good attempt.
:)
Robot sound might need some tweaking :) otherwise a fun little game.
Cool intro. Fun concept. controls a bit 'rigid'?
Wow was this fun to play. Just loved it. LOL for the Pluto powerup :)
For a compo entry this is very well polished.
super fun.monster bit too slow.
Cool game. Liked the style. Camera angle makes bit confusing a bit at times, but very well put together overall.
The game is nice , but a bit tough and hard.
:)
Good concept, I'm thinking Pixels movie :)
Movement extremely slow and should perhaps retain the old-school sharp horizontal/vertical movement instead of the smooth movement. Need to improve pacman AI :)
For ghosts, perhaps add all four and switch between them? (Not sure how practical that would be though, but could be a fun mechanic to explore).
Fun.
Monster can't walk , only on road.:(
Game a bit tough.
@peecestudios Thanks for letting me know. I will look into this as soon as I have some spare time.
@Reyn: yes, the chalk, then later more appear
@AzureAspect: each weapon only works on certain type of child. but will look into it :)
@All: thanks for playing and rating :)
Thanks everyone. I scaled difficulty down a bit.
super fun
Super fun. I like that everything is dancing. Good graphics and nice music.
:)
fun.But hard to follow.
fun. movement a bit too quick. challenging
Nice game just a bit tough.
:)
cannot rate because graphics were all garbled when I tried to run it.
Nice entry. a bit different from the rest. Liked it very much
Very confusing? Was not sure what I was supposed to do here? Cool idea, but think could do with a bit more polish or guidance.
Quite challenging. Super fun eating those divers though :)
This could be super fun on a tablet with touch controls.
Very polished. Good combination of mechanics. Love the art style.
Unrelated: love your weekend code project books! :)
Boy this is hard and FUN. Reminds me of those old-school games where you end up rage-quitting or throwing your controller :)
Extremely polished and great (frustrating) fun. Keeps pulling you in for one more go.
Love the sound effects, they go perfectly with this game and the TV look is awesome and another tip of the hat to old school.
Would love seeing this a commercial game and I for one would surely buy it.
Great game. Simple aesthetics, great gameplay. Well done
Loved the mood, music and story. It might not be a game in the technical sense, but it is an experience. Great work
Very nice. Within the compo this is great. as a full game I agree with other, need some more controls. The mood is awesome.
Cool game. Very nice take on the normal infinite runner-type games. Good work
What cool little game. Loved the graphics, sound and puzzle in general. Great work.
Good game. Takes time though. I liked that the vines kept growing, but it felt like I just using machete all the time - which got a bit much. For 48 hours this is very nicely done though - great work.
Fun to play, get difficult though :)
Nice entry. I liked it, but needs bit more variation I guess.
lol - funny story :)
Cool little entry. Great for 48 hours' work. Controls take some getting used to and see a bit harsh in beginning. Fun game though. Good work
Cool game. love how the characters get stuck on snowball :)
Cool game. Great work. Get challenging, but at a good pace.
lol funny. I like how that got flies :)
if the snowball got bigger as it went it would have tied in the other theme as well.
This is a cool little game. Has lots of potential and a nice take on the two-button theme. Fun puzzle design and made me think of limbo (probably the graphic style :)). Great job!
404? Cannot rate sorry :(
What a cool entry. I liked this though it needs a bit more gameplay. just running until your army gets bigger does get old after a while :)
This is potential though. Great compo entry.
Makes me think of Road fighter - but without the challenge. Simple idea, but seem to lack some innovation of that something that will make it stand out. Control are smooth though and adding some challenges would be cool to eliminate repetitiveness.
Liked the light effect - that has lots of potential. Needs a bit more gameplay though
Cool little game. nice smooth controls, though when it gets hectic going wrong direction happens a lot :)
Pretty cool. more challenging that it looks - getting a tie is hard work :)
Kid friendly. a bit more variation would have been good.
Cool game and subtle interpretation of theme.
curse that heart! Great game. loved playing it. The graphics and audio sets a great mood. Just takes too much time to gain resources that actually helps. Other than that awesome work.
Great little game. zoom level is a nice touch and something different. well done.
Nice game. Controls need to be a bit tighter though - the "floaty" controls made it bit more challenging though.
Good puzzle ideas. Lots of potential.
It is quite a difficult game. but well made. good work
I liked this. ended up just circling and firing as that seemed to work.
Tron-like influence. looks cool. fun to play. takes some time getting the hand of it though.
A game this large in concept needs more than 48 hours to do it justice. Overall good attempt though. Made me think of simcity. music was a bit too much so I turned it off quickly :)
Nice entry. The fonts are a bit much though - made it hard to read especially when pressing escape to quit as example. I died a lot, and quickly so I reckon difficult needs to be scaled a bit better to give players time to get comfortable with controls first.
Great idea, with some polish this could be a fun little game experience. great work. Definitely one of the most innovative interpretations of the theme I've come across.
This is really fun. an addictive. Great job. It did slow down for me on latter levels but that might have just been my pc.
Controls were difficult (felt a bit too slow). Could not get very far. Cool graphics though. Good attempt for 48 hours.
Nice entry. I loved playing this. great work
I really liked this game I did think I encountered a bug though, I died with boss approaching and it just carried on engaging boss without me repawning or restarting.
Overall really liked this. at one point I though sound got too much, but it grows on you and ties in well with everything. Love the way the enemies break into back as you shoot them. Awesome work.
Very nice. I sucked at it though :)
Cool for doing it in a "real" programming language :)
Fun game. Did not get the job :)
Very cool interpretation of the theme. Well polished
Very cool take on the two-button theme. Great fun and gets challenging but in a good way. Very well done.
Very cool little game. This is fun to play and has lots of potential. Great work
Blast from the past. Makes me think of those retro shmups I played. Background loop need bit more variation as it becomes a bit annoying if kept on :). Good go at it though, and as per other comment, could perhaps have used boss or something. Good job.
Needs a bit more work. Good effort though. Controls perhaps need to be bit smoother.
@nunesbarbosa I got same for other's games when I rated them as well. Windows does this for some .exe(s) not sure why.
Nice entry. Could not progress once I met the narrator though.
Coll idea however, I really struggled. Had various collision detection issues, ended up on back and could not turn back. Controls in general I think need some tweaking. Overall good attempt considering the 48 hour timeframe. Some smaller challenges to start player of might be better.
Interesting idea but as others said really buggy
Looks like a cool game and concept. I really struggled with controls though, spent quite a time before it accepted my clicks - not sure if it was because I ran in windowed mode?
Overall good game - would love seeing the finished product.
Fun game for kids. Control and collisions need some work though. I had a couple instance where I just got stuck on a level ground. jumping also sometimes made me jump in wrong direction.
Very nice entry. Some fun combinations.
Very nice. When that ball speed picks up it really gets challenging. Great game for a weekend's worth.
Nice little game. Gets challenging quick though :)
Surely an interesting interpretation of the theme. Nice work.
Seems like an interesting concept but I could not figure out how to play it (even after reading instructions) - it says what to do but not how.
Nice entry.
Very nice. I loved this. Music got a bit much though but rest was awesome :)
my eyes! The wobbling and rapid color changes are perhaps just a tad much :) but it works for some I guess.
I got page error 404 when trying the download link so unfortunately I cannot rate :(
I liked this. Good work
Fun entry. Challenging and one really needs to have timing good to win.
Cool idea. Lots of potential. Challenging but one you get the idea really fun to play. Great work!
As other said, quite difficult, but fun. Great work for a first Ludum Dare.
Very nice entry. Has lots of potential to be expanded upon.
Nice concept and fun to play. Music got a bit much at times though but I can see the potential. Nice job
Fun entry. Like the idea of jumping between planets. lots of potential to grow into a larger game good work.
Nice entry, but needs a little more perhaps? :) For a first try this is good though - look forward seeing more in future.
Nice entry. Personally I felt the snowball grew too slowly, making it grow faster would give more of an arcade feel I think. I also found it started getting "jerky" the further I got (maybe it was just lag I don't know). Overall cool concept. With some polish would make a nice little game.
Cool game for 48 hours. Great spin on an old concept. Great work.
Nice idea
Nice entry. I've always sucked at this type of game though :)
lol you should have made them glitter :)
good game though, fun to play.
Fun game. Considering kids might play this some language concerns. Needs some goals.
would have been cooler if he walked as he planted/chopped. him just standing there not so much fun.
flappy fish :). I'd say controls just need a little tweaking. Great game though. I played lots. still suck at it lol :)
Nice take on the theme. Game just progress a bit slow though.
Very nice considering the super-short self inflicted timeframe :) Great work, with some polish this would make a very nice mobile game.
Nice take on a classic. played a bit slow on my browser though.
I got 6 babies :). Nice interpretation of the theme. Great fun and I can see this grow with more levels and pairings into a fun little game. Great work
lol "special effects by Vlambeer" - nice :)
For an infinite runner this is pretty cool. Difficult, but keeps drawing you back for one more go. In that I think you succeeded. Running animation needs arms though :)
With some polish this has lots of potential , great work.
This is a fun game. Great work. Loved playing it over and over :) I'd say this one has lots of potential.
lol very interesting and nice take on the theme :) Get quite challenging but fun. well done.
Cool concept. It controls a bit difficult through.
Colors are a bit too much :) rest is cool. upgrade system is definitely something different. nice work.
Very nice interpretation of the grow theme. Cool concept and challenging as well. Good work
Fun to play. Perhaps losing too much points when something drops. Some bg music would have been cool. controls very sensitive but I guess that is what makes it challenging. Great work
Cool visuals. Especially liked the distortion effect. For me it started lagging a bit when there were a lot of particles/activity but overall fun to play.
Definitely a unique experience :)
Liked the concept. cute graphics and sounds which go well together. My only "complaint" is for a cute game, the winning message, though I thought it was funny, it might not be child-friendly :) Other than that nice little entry.
Liked the concept, like other comment here, ship felt a bit slow for me. Good entry
@marsepstein Thanks for playing my game. It is built using clicker-game elements so it involves A LOT of clicking :) and buying upgrades to get to next levels. The bunny explosion part was my daughter's idea :). (I also played and rated your game)
@drell thank you for the comments. I also played and rated your game - very cute and definitely brought a smile to my face :)
@roronoacherry thanks, yes it is a bit of a click-frenzy :). I played and rated yours as well, my daughters loved beating me :)
@svoam that is sorry to hear, will check if I can see why that happened. (Loved your popcorn game ;))
thanks @ignacio-zamorano also liked playing your game cluster. very nice little game
@abhis1kadian Thanks for playing. For mine you need to click a LOT :). each click generates carrots, which is used to purchase upgrades, which generates more carrots and limits bunnies etc. For my wife's game, you needed to click and drag foxy. Loved playing your game btw.
@sylvie @local-minimum @mike-inprinciple @furiouswitch thanks for the feedback, I will see what improvements I can make as a post-jam version. I had some good fun with your games as well.
@jose-rodriguez thanks. I suspect the lag has to do with the physics and the amount of objects. Loved playing your game as well.
Liked the style and concept. Pacing a bit slow perhaps.
Nice little game. Loved the art style. Only complaint I have is that once you get all the upgrades it becomes a bit of a repetitive grind to get the gold down to zero. A little variation could make this a nice little time sink.
Kinda a sad game, but I get the point you were trying to make in terms of polution/overpopulation/etc. Well done. Loved the graphic style and it really set the mood, especially as it got darker into the theme.
Nice game and a good take on the theme. I loved the small little details like different weight for objects and the accompanying facial expression changes depending on how much a struggle the move is. well done
Took a few rounds to get the hang of it but I really liked it. Makes you think. well done.
Interesting concept on changing the dimensions. The 2D parts were definitely more challenging/difficult than the 3D ones. Nice work for such a short timeframe.
Nice game and a well executing take on the theme. I liked the small details like how you floated upwards in the water trying to fix the leaks - nice touch
Speaking from experience, this is exactly like normal public transport :) Well done. polished and fun. I liked it.
Lol cool concept. Never thought I'd play and like a game about digesting food. Nice graphics and sound. Game loop is fun and actually involves more planning that initially clear. Struggled a bit with the mouse though, on mobile I think this will rock. Nice one.
Not my type of game but a nice take on the theme. Makes you think about choices and creates mood.
Interesting concept. I found the jumping and controls quite challenging though - ie. could perhaps do with a little refinement in terms of control responsiveness. Other than that, nice entry, well done
What a cute game. thanks for this. I would have loved to see more gameplay but it brought a smile to my face nonetheless.
Great game. Everything just worked together, the graphics, sounds, gameplay. Well rounded for a jam-game and fun to play.
Was a bit confusing as to what to do. Liked the music, but as mentioned it feels a bit incomplete in terms of gameplay. Would love to see how this evolves.
LOL a game with just as much clicking as mine. I liked it. polished and fun. well done.
who keeps trowing the damn snowballs? :) love the graphics. really cool idea. a fun slippery ride
Very cool game for a first try. congrats. Loved the humor and graphics.
Scored 204. Cute graphics. Like the fighting animations on the hard disk.
Wow I played this a lot longer than I anticipated. Fun and very well executed, especially for a first time (48 hours is short!). Involves a lot more strategy than I initially thought it would.
This is a great puzzle game. Took me a bit of time to figure out to walk off-screen to move to next area, but once I figured that I had lots of fun trying the puzzles. I can see lots of potential for this game. Well done
Very well done. Loved playing this
Great work! Awesome aesthetic and music which really sets the mood. Quite challenging trying to concentrate on where to walk as well as calming your heart. Loved it. Well done.
Fun little game. well done. I get the theme, but I think that could have perhaps been brought forward a bit more? Ended up feeling like normal typing game. Liked the concept of certain letters that need to be, or not, in the word. Makes you think beyond the obvious words sometimes. Using the left-arrow to delete got me a few times as I presses backspace out of habit. Overall a nice entry.
Fun to play. Get difficult quickly but loved the concept. Nice work.
LOVED the game. i started at like 2 min and played till i got to 52 seconds. the game is very addicting and fun. i liked the interaction between characters and the art style was also pretty cool.
I kept ending up too far from my turrets. Interesting combination though and cool implementation.
Dude! This has the potential to become the plants vs. zombies of clicker games :) Brilliant concept and take on the theme.
Great visuals and concept. Perhaps I just suck at rhythm games but for me it felt a bit unforgiving in the timing to hit the note in right place. Good fun though and I still tried quite a few times more than I probably planned :)
Funny concept with good variation in things you can style which nails the theme of the compo.
Well implemented, but not sure which genres you combined?
absolutely awesome. nothing more to add
Cool game. Everything comes together quite well. only complaints is it needed some sound effects for shooting etc. to really round it off. Well done.
I was kinda confused and have some challenge figuring out how to attack etc. Interesting concept though and liked the nice calming music.
Loved the song :) And learned that I suck at rhythm games. To resolve the car blocking notes, perhaps make car move left/right as you select note instead? Overall I liked this and would love seeing this turn into full game with more songs/tracks etc. Excellent job
Thanks for the comment on our game. Loved your. what a cool concept and very well executed. Loads of fun though quite hard - perhaps I just suck :)
boy boy did I suck at it. total confusing, which is what makes this work. Nice
Haha, what a cool concept. Chaining the events together is a brilliant concept and very well executed. Great work!
Cool game. I did manage to walk out of a door into the black and find all the girls off to the side and get a screen with placeholder text. Is that supposed to happen?
Missed the second genre?
it is an awesome game. just took me a while to figure out how it works. well done
damn it is hard getting onto those platforms. fun concept though and probably played it longer than I should have :) Great work
Cool. Thanks for rating our game too :) I liked yours. Did not realise at first that I needed to click on zombie to get the equation. Overall a cool little entry and I like the fact that it can teach kids something while having fun. Well done.
Interesting concept. The mobs became a bit much though and was a bit difficult hitting them right after a question if they are on top of you. lot of the trivia I had no clue
Also ran linux and it works. Cool concept. I can imagine with some polish this could evolve into a fun little tbs game. Well on completing your first one!
The player controls could be a bit more responsive, speed a bit faster and could do with a bit more variation, but otherwise a nice entry. Nailed the mood with the graphics, but could enhance it more with some nice background music perhaps. I'd say this has potential. Well done
LOL. Absolutely brilliant. Had way more fun than I thought and really loved the sounds. Great kids game to teach them maths. Awesome work.
i love the concept. good take on the theme. the graphics are really cool and the story as well. just a few things, the weapons only generate in one corner and most of the zombies get stuck at the bottom of the page.
Great little game. Really enjoyed playing it once I get the hang of it. Cool combo !
Beautiful combination of graphic style and sounds. I found the gameplay a bit challenging (maybe I just suck at this :)). Very well make though.
Thanks for rating my game. Played yours and really liked it. The art is awesome and a good combination of mechanics. I did feel it was a bit easy to just hit the buttons and win that way, but overall quite fun. Well done.
