Found this game from a cat game thread I started, pointed out by your sister project. Really fun! I hit the wrong button on the last level and had to start it over (thank god you didn't make me start back at the beginning of the game).
Lots of fun, please let me use WASD next time and not the arrow keys! GIF Spring Cleaning.gif
I like the idea, and the UI is fun in concept, but there were definitely some bugs/lag that made it hard for me to play. Great job/start though!
Nice animation.
lmao a lovely experience. Humorous graphics.
Interesting game/physics. Good idea, would have preferred just to have mouse-follow, with click being to pour the ice cream, but that is just a preference. Great entry! Hope you get the reviews you need. GIF Paw For Icecream.gif
Looked great and the music was cool. A little confusing at first, but obviously had a lot of depth to it.
This was pretty interesting and fun. I really liked the way the presents stacked up. Maybe you should spend less time on games more often, keep coming up with great ideas!
That was a great game in 15 hours. Ours was not playable at that point. Fun art and worked very well as a meta-game. I didn't complete my game on my first playthrough, I will be attempting again.
Love the art stile and the voice lines.
Fun game, great graphics and the music goes along really well. I killed everyone and am not sure what else to do, and it seems like the controls get stuck (if I hold a key down for too long, then release, it doesn't recognize the release).
Are the controls listed anywhere, I didn't figure out about the sword until I read the comments and someone mentioned it.
Does the shiny shuriken do anything?
Fun game, I should have bought more stuff.
Very cool art and I love the sound effects. Arms got added too fast for me to keep up with what key controlled each arm, but that is probably more my problem than the game design.
Not sure how to win, but its really fun yet hard good job!
I really wish I had played this with a gamepad. It was great to play how it was, but I think I would have done better with a gamepad. We almost did a rotational style game for this jam as well, but ended up going a totally different direction. I hope you keep developing this, I will definitely be looking for it.
Really funny art, I was able to do well just with the space bar before I figured out the other controls. Great entry though, I hope to see Santaur again!
People were crowding around my computer laughing at this game, watching him sweat more and more. Absolutely hilarious.
That was awesome. I do not know if that was the best example of "The more you have, the worse it gets," but it was definitely in the top 5 of the 100+ games I have tried. Fun graphics and easy to understand controls and goals. Overall, great job!
Nice infinite runner. Didn't know which were good or bad, but still fun to grab everything.
Super cool idea, and I think the minimalist graphics really work. Very soothing music that contrasted well with what was happening. I really loved "u r a fudging bastard."
screenshot2.png
Hard game with some interesting ideas. I think your name is spot-on, and you definitely were on board with the theme of this jam.
Interesting game, great art. Hopefully you get some screen shots (or a gif) up on your LD page so more people will see this and play this interesting game.
The drunk effects started to give me a headache (probably as intended). Pretty funny over-all. I only went through once, were there multiple endings, or just the one?
Really easy to figure out how to play and super fun to watch all the cars pile up at the end. Great job! My only suggestion is to make this an actual game on mobile.
Overall i think it is a very nice, art work matched the music and the game play.
Well... that happened. Not that you want to give it away in a public post, but I do wonder if there are multiple endings based on choice, or if all choices lead to the exact same conclusion. Normally I include a screen shot or gif, but this is a game that should be experienced with as little foreknowledge as possible, so I will just say good-job.
Are the spelling errors on purpose?
Fun visuals, but I didn't think it was too easy, like some others. The sounds are great and it was fun to play several times.
It was fun, but when my life runs out nothing happens, and now I am stuck in a wallStuck.png
Awesome game art, fun game, I totally suck at it.
Really fun game. The only problem I had was in full screen there was no way for me to aim up if I was at the top of the screen, but maybe that was intentional.
Can't get it to work. Shows up in full screen mode, just showing (what I assume is) the corner of the screen, and I cannot interact with anything.
screenshot.png
Let me know if there is an update and I will come back and rate.
@testlab I'm using Win 10 Pro, Surfacebook, native resolution is 3000x2000, and while playing your game I was just hooked up to one monitor.
@testlab Thanks for the update, I have played your game and updated your scores. Everything worked great. One question, when I hit pause and then choose play everything goes away. Is this a bug that destroys everything, or just making me start over?
GIFForGame.gif
Can't get game to start. :( And after all those official accolades I am really yearning for a yanking. yearnin.png As far as I got.
super funny and different i like it! well done
Nice start to something, fun little robots. Even though my robot broke, I actually wasn't sure if I had won or lost the first time I played. I would add something to the effect of "You Win" or "You Lose" to the end.
The boss fights were great. Awesome art for them. The controls were a little too loose and I could just stay at the top and hold down the space bar through the levels. Fun game overall.
WoW! Great art, super fun. This was the best game I have tried yet, though my finger did get tired from flapping.
The background and character design/animations were great. I liked playing it, but was pretty bad. Sound fit in really well. Good job!
I guess I will just echo what has already been said, the pixel art was fun. The idea was definitely worth exploring and could be expanded upon, but the font was really hard to read (in game, tutorial is was alright).
That was a really cool game. Having every thing bounce around and have to collect it to get your ammo back is a pretty awesome idea. I love your sprites, the tileset and how it all comes together. I hope you keep developing this and turn this into something more than just a jam entry.
That was really fun, but hard. Great graphics! While the music definitely fit the theme of your game and the manic nature of the level, I am not sure how much longer I could have put up with that banjo.
I need to stop playing, I killed way too many critters. Definitely on point for the theme, but man do I feel bad about myself now.
Awesome art work. Great music. Super simple/fun idea.
This was surprisingly fun and a little on the addicting side. Great job in making this super accessible and fun. So many LD games make me figure out how to play and punish me for not understanding their game immediately, I did not feel that at all. I was given time to learn and enjoy the game and immediately felt drawn in, great job!
Took a couple times, and I am still not sure what the Macrophage does, but beat it! screenshot.png
Fun idea, would be great in a classroom activity!
I would consider, in a future release, making the area of effect of the Red Blood Cells a little smaller.
I really liked the graphics and all the hats, it ended up being a little too hard for me. Great job!
Nice dungeon, thanks for trying to play my game (you were the first... and it was down). Your art was pretty cool. Only thing is I wish there was something that let me know I had hit the enemy (besides them falling over, which I really liked). Great game for LD.
This was the best game I have played. I had an hour blocked out tonight to play LD games but instead just played yours. Great graphics (for the type of game), great sound, and the backstory was interesting as well as the end (I really thought I was going to face off against the sentient robot though).
Funny game, great sound effects. Good job!
Very nice!!!
Pretty cool idea. I liked the retro sounds.
Very nice time killer. Good for mobile in my opinion.
Fun idea, my ship did not fill up with air quite right.
Seems fun, but I can't get past the first part. I can't sprint and jump at the same time. Let me know if there is an update and I will update my scores.
Fun game and great graphics!
Fun game, no way I was going to get to 28. I switched from using my mouse to using the touchscreen and had a much better success rate.
Awesome (I'm told) for Ricky & Morty fans, but for those of us not in the Rick & Morty club, totally and utterly confusing. Art looks great and sound is fun.
Fun idea, I really wish that my character shot towards the mouse, and not the direction I was facing. Art reminded of me of Ratchet & Clank.
like the idea, art looks nice, very hard to control
Man are those some cute bunnies! I would have loved a reset button (or should I make the pun of a reset bunny? No, I won't go there). Other than that, I will be playing this more, super fun.
Fun artwork and definitely sticks to the theme, would have loved a restart level button.
Sorry, @goxua, @ricksquanchez, @masadow, @petr-belohlavek, @nardandas
Weird error, was working fine earlier. Re-uploaded and appears to be working again. Will upload a windows exe as well soon.
Thanks for letting me know and hope you get to try it!
@jack-maxwell I am sorry to hear that, it is working fine on my end. Hopefully you can refresh it and it will work for you.
@ethan-kennerly A reaping animation is a great idea. We definitely didn't have time for that, but if we update, we agree that it is a must have.
@schu I would like to say that they are going after you because you are so lovable... but the real reason is because they were supposed to be dogs chasing a cat, and those assets didn't get finished.
@glock00 Thanks, the music creator says "Thank you very much!" He was pretty pumped.
@moski We have definitely had some people letting us know that it was too slow. Thematically we felt that a depressed Grim Reaper just wouldn't be in any kind of a rush. Gameplay wise, it should probably be modified. Thanks for playing!
@joror A distraction mechanic would have been awesome! It is possible to out run them by juking them out (going left/then right quickly), but the mechanic for it really isn't explained very well. Thanks for the feedback!
Quick and cute, funny ending.
I am not sure what it is about your art style, but I really liked it. Maybe it reminds me of Wind Walker, but it is definitely triggering a very positive feeling inside. Fun, easy to understand controls and great art add up to a pretty great experience. Good job!
I agree with alot of the sentiment that that graphics are great and cute. I can definitely imagine spending time goofing off with this on mobile with gyro for controls.
Really cool atmosphere. I love the high def/black & white/artsy games coming out nowadays (like limbo) and your use of light effects really helps the atmosphere. It would probably screw up the no-ui vibe... but I would have really liked a UI that let me know my score was going up. The first time I played, I wasn't sure if there was any data being tracked.
Fun concept, we almost made a VD game. Ended up going quite a different direction. Game moved a little slow for me, but the graphics were nice and it was easy to understand.
Very nice artwork! Loved the dialogue from the customers. Felt a little fast towards the end though.
Very interesting, I liked the music and found the game challenging. Cool concept, the movement was a little like skating, but other than that, pretty fun game with a LOT of backstory.
Fun game, when I drank too much it made me a little motion sick (which it was probably going for). The very first room, people were shooting me through the door after it had closed.
One of four errors I get before not being able to play the game. Message me and I will update your scores/re-review screenshot2.png
Fun idea, controls are a little loose for my taste (at least on a game so difficult). Or maybe I am just frustrated dying 12 times without getting up the second latter. :(
Your artwork is great, I love the animations and the backgrounds are pretty cool. Controls can lag a little making things frustrating and a couple times I was walking in the air. Also, in windowed mode, for some reason I jump half (maybe less) as high. In air.png
I like the way the game is. It feels like I can't kill the zombies or they're really overpowered. The mechanics are good, but could have been easier to use WASD to move.
Really fun art, kind of reminded me of Patapon. I think the scoring is a little weird. When it was done, I still wasn't positive how to play and I had amassed almost 400,000 points. screenshot.png
Just figured it out, thought it was WASD, so I was only able to move with S & D.
Pretty funny. The video you chose for this game is hilarious. It takes a little while to get going, I thought it was frozen.
I started using my touch screen for a better chance at a decent score.
Awesome music, totally went with the game. Graphics looked great and it played well. Great job!
A very cute and relaxing game. Pixel style was fun and consistent, and the sounds matched up very well. The only gripe I have is the little girl is in dire need of some walking animation (which I will most likely attribute to not having enough time). Everyone else looks all right gliding around, she just seems... not right.
Things can get pleasantly hectic (though not stressful or unmanageable) very fast, which I liked. Cats redo.gif
Pretty cool, I really wish I was playing with a controller. The feel I had with the keyboard just didn't seem quite right for the gameplay.
Tough game, very creative, cool graphics.
It reminds me of Minecraft Skyblock, but with adding islands connecting. Unique and fun. Good job
Second typing game I have played this LD, both blew me away. Great music, makes typing fun. Really good job! GIF EscapeKey.gif
If someone else wants to try another typing game (I am not affiliated at all, just apparently this jam I have been impressed by typing games) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/type-them-down
Well, I guess it can't be said too much, but the game art is great. I felt the gameplay could be improved a little and the sounds were reasonable. Is left-clicking supposed to start the game over?
Pretty interesting and quickly addictive. Man was I pissed off when I finally got in my groove and my crew all died at once! Thanks for the great game.
Fun art, camera could get stuck and was a little infuriating. I also agree with the sentiment of having to get my head to the sausage was hard at times. Especially after working so hard to get my body somewhere. Great Jam entry though, with a little cleaning up this could be super fun.
GIF Katamari2.gif
awesome idea ! very creative
I like the game in general. It could use a better upgrade menu because it was confusing
Super cute, I can definitely picture playing a multiplayer match, or even making it into something more competitive like 100 of them on the screen feeding each other, if you eat to much you get eliminated.
Either way great art and an interesting beginning to something if you feel like it.
Fun puzzles, but Q and D for left and right drove me absolutely crazy. Great game. I liked the last puzzle.
A little hard to control, but definitely a good interpretation of the theme. I'm always a sucker for pixel graphics, but since you asked for feedback in your post, I would work on the start screen/UI a little bit. It does not really match the pixel style.
Moves way too fast. Maybe make the character can move slower (and also the rain and bricks). Good game though.
Great first Game Jam entry! Who needs an artist anyway? I liked the music and the idea, it fit the theme pretty well. I wish there were more spikes and more coins, it got pretty easy after you figured out the patterns.
This game was very interesting. I liked the art, I really liked the terrain and colors you chose. I think I may be getting carpal tunnel syndrome from all these random control schemes, but that isn't your fault.
I really think this would make an awesome multiplayer game at some point. Graphics are fun and the lack of music is just fine for what you are doing.
I liked the way it all looks, and I took your advice and muted it before I played, so I do not have any complaints about that. The reverse mechanic was interesting but it drove me crazy. Cool game overall.
Well, I normally feel pretty bad about my musical skill/aptitude but now I feel especially bad. I was not able to get past the first part. Great idea, just not made for me.
Nice game!. Liked the animations on your game. And the theme of it was good. Also, when I died i kept instantly falling to my death.
nice game, sensitivity never changed, i liked the idea
Fun game. I really liked the sounds. Boy did I see that Game Over screen alot. My only complaint is that I wish the edges didn't kill me, but that would probably take away from some of the frantic-ness of your game. Great entry over-all!
GIF GreedMania.gif
Get ready to see this screen
Tried the LD & the beta. Very tight controls and collision detection. The music for the beta was interesting, I still don't know if it went well, but it is stuck in my head. I wish I was a square and not a rectangle. But great job, reminds me of a minimalist game I made to help my son learn to use a touchscreen.
Geo Attack Sma.gif
Absolutely hilarious! Definitely a '5' in theme. I liked the variation it provided on the 'flappy bird' genre. The gameplay mechanics are perfect, I would not change those at all.
Fun little game, I really like the leader board concept built in to it. It made me ashamed of my initial score and want to play again.
I liked the controls and the looks, it was easy to understand immediately. I didn't like how my bullets had a limited range but theirs did not.
That definitely followed the theme, my hand got sore clicking so I stopped. Great 3 design, very interesting.
Fun little clicker, really cute graphics and nice music. Not very deep, but I don't think is really meant to be. Great job for the jam.
The art is great, but my thrusters work once, then not again. So I am stuck with only digging down to the first area and no upgrades for me :(
I liked the idea, and the different "good" endings were fun. I am really not sure why steering was necessary. Fun, fast game either way.
In response to your request for feedback: You UI is WAY too big, and intrusive. I would definitely scale it back a bit. You have an interesting idea and ok start of a game, but the size of the UI gets in the way. And while it comes down to preference, I would have rather had a straight-up WASD control scheme or even mouse follow than the steering one that you implemented. But that is only a preference and not a deal breaker by any means.
This was AWESOME! Please make a web version. @angelonias is it ok if I have my students play this in my classroom?
I had an other teacher see me playing, and already asked me "How do I get that game?"
Game was fun, really liked it. Enemies come a little strong. Overall, great entry!
So close, but so far. About 1/2 way I still had hope of making it all the way to the end... and then all my fuel slowly went away and my refugee people were doomed to float through space, awaiting death like Tony Stark in the Avengers: End Game preview. He will probably be ok (for a little while at least), they will not.
space.png
Fun little game. I kept trying to drag the beakers instead of clicking on them. I accidentally killed one of the slimes immediately, and with such cute faces felt pretty bad. But only having two to feed let me figure out the game at a more reasonable pace. Great entry!
The grid pattern plus the controls kind of made me motion sick, but that is probably on me. I wish there was a little more feedback (getting hurt, winning conditions, etc.) Either way, nice idea. Good job.
game 8.gif
Super polished experience for 72 hours. Amazing artwork! The paper style was a great way to go that looks stylized but also really good. Amazing.
Fun game, but hard to destroy towers.
I was really bummed to drop my dog :( Got to the end with no dog, no money, no friend.
Nice to see another text adventure out there. Good job, and twine seems pretty interesting for a toolset, I really liked being able to save. Are there multiple endings? Like with all Choose Your Own Adventure stories, there were some grammatical inconsistencies (I had only lost one companion and it referenced "All My Lost Companions").
But over all, cool drawings, interesting audio choices, and a fun story overall. Great entry
Fun game, loved the sound. And great final boss, I really liked the noise it made when you dropped the kittens on it.
I really liked this game. It worked great with the theme, and was darkly hilarious. Nothing like using the bodies of your comrades to make sure you survive. I totally think this could have been expanded into an online game. Great job!
space.gif
Anytime I got hit I couldn't move up/down anymore (still side to side). Interesting idea but I couldn't figure out if things were buggy or I was doing it wrong.
I tried again and it worked fine as well, so not sure on that one. Must have been a pretty obscure bug (or I just forgot what keys I was pressing).
Nice lemmings style puzzler. It took me a few minutes to get started, then once I was going I really liked it. I wish there was a little more affirmation upon finishing the level, but I definitely understand not working it into the project with the time constraints.
golem 3.gif
Played the web version, destroyed the tower, never saw anything but me and the tower. Cool ascetic, kind of a tron with the lights off vibe.
Fun game. Definitely kept my attention for longer than I thought it would. I wanted to go back through and write all the requirements down in notepad as I went. I think it was the music that kept me going. you win.png
Really fun game (once I figured out what to do). Your idea would be a great mobile or clicker game, super fun. I like the music, the graphics, and the concept. Nothing negative/constructive to add.
board game 2.gif
Fun game but did not find the main point of the game.
Good job. We made a game a couple jams ago with the type of [rotating weapon](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/miss-piss) you made and it drove me crazy for a little while. The way yours spins kind of made my eyes unfocus.
Equal parts disturbing and amusing. Absolutely hilarious. I await the mobile version so I can mow down pedestrians with my Trolley of Death at my whim. Side note: definitely include a Daniel Tiger trolley skin as a bonus.
trolley.gif
@foxxy Thanks for playing, you have probably moved on, but where did you see spelling errors?
@mathstr0fficial Glad you enjoyed our game. We always wanted one conclusion and many ways to get there, though our story wasn't as complete as we would have liked. Where we ended really would have been the conclusion of Act 2 out of 3, but due to time constraints, we had to end it where we did.
1. As for the theme, on a meta-level, going with Google Forms was a sacrifice (but that is just b.s. because we had the idea for Google forms before the theme went live). At the end, our player is in a cult, and someone is about to be killed/sacrificed for the order, but that idea is not as fleshed out as we could have (I am not expecting to score super high in that category this time).
2. Google forms allows you to edit questions to go to different categories based on responses. First we made a template for the story, then just inserted it into the forms and pointed everything where it was supposed to go.
form screen.png
It did take a lot of organization, and was probably not the best way to make a choose your own adventure, but we have had mostly positive feedback and we are hoping to score high in the innovation category.
@justcamh Thanks for the feedback. Our plan was always for the different paths to converge, and we got through about 2/3 of it. So I understand, without seeing the pieces that would bring it all together, it seeming complicated for the sake of being complicated. Thanks for playing! Maybe one day we will finish the story, though I don't know if it will become more understandable (being that we were following a character whose grasp on reality was definitely slipping).
@mrsspeaker While writing this with my students (who definitely wanted things to go off the rails and be ridiculous as fast as possible) I found myself not really rooting for our character. They were definitely a jerk and I found some satisfaction with what they were going through.
Not really sure what to do, got to 5 hp once. Actually did the exact opposite the first time and kept him as healed as possible. Simple control and fun graphics, just wished in the 10 minutes I played I had any idea what I was doing.
fridge.gif
Man, that made me kind of sad. Great job on the game.
Cool game, web version seems a little buggy. I got stuck behind some walls a few times (on the level select and first level). The cross guy started attacking me! I didn't think he would use it as a weapon. Great jam entry.
Really cool. I definitely got impatient, but kept dropping in people. I really liked the sounds and could have gone on sacrificing people for longer than I would like to admit. I wish I could drop in more people faster without losing. If you make this a webgame let me know and I will be you first click addict. volc shot.png
Great jam entry. The music, art, and everything combines to make a pretty charming experience. I do agree with some of the criticism I saw that the sword is a little slow, and I would have loved a dodge or roll mechanic.
Cool game. I really like the lighting effects used. I feel like it could totally be part of a larger game.
"Sometimes" you must sacrifice yourself? Gave me a portal mixed with lemmings vibe. Great entry? If you are looking for feedback, I would make the HUD a little more visible or put it in a better spot (or not).
Fun graphics, made me think of Final Fight. I really liked the way the knife guys looked, but in practice, screw those guys!
Thanks for the fun game.
Fun game. I really like the art for the main character. Something about a warrior monk/jedi outfit that looks pretty cool in pixel art. And your sacrifice idea is well implemented and completely maddening (I couldn't bring myself to lose attack power under any circumstances). The bad guys come out backwards at first, then once they switch sides follow correctly. Bet you have a value reversed.
Super cute. I love the color palette you went with. And your main character looks pretty cool. Web version slowed down at a few points but I bet the Windows version worked great. Great entry!
color.gif
Field of view is a little close. With the textures you chose I was actually getting a little dizzy that close up. I love the main character art and the music was fun.
Great game, overall scary looking for sure.
Don't listen to @meskaline, that voice acting is 100% carrying you through (no more polish required). 5 out of 5 stars on Audio.
devil.gif
Awesome entry, I have gone back three times and cannot figure out level 7 for the life of me (but it is a testament to you that I have gone back 3 times!). Super cool use of story to move things forward and I really enjoyed your music. It added a great mood to your game, but wasn't intrusive. Now, back to level seven...
Fun game but played it solo and think it would have been way more fun with some other people. Cool art and concept.
Amazing graphics. I would play a full release of Crom (I don't know if I could keep beating my dog through a full release...). Moody sound, great feedback for the strikes and everything worked really well (in the web version I got stuck in a wall a few times, but I played knowing the web version had some issues). Overall, great job, 5 out of 5 for art (the animation is so smooth!).
My only disappointment is there are not more "By Krom!" references in the comments.
crom.gif
Ares thirst for sacrifice has been quenched. Since you asked for feedback.
**Graphics -** looks great. Animation while idle or moving looks clean and crisp for the art style. Shading and textures look great for style.
**Movement/gameplay -** Easy to understand and play. Shield function could be a little better and the main character doesn't always face the opponent as fast as I would like.
**Sound -** music is simple but fits your game and is not annoying (super important)
**UI/Story/Instructions -** the game was immediately playable and I understood everything. That is WAY ahead of the curve on quite a few LD games where I spend the first 10 minutes just trying to find out what my goal is, nevermind what the controls are.
And most importantly, your game was fun. Great job!
ares.gif
Interesting mechanics. I liked how when you lost mass you jumped higher. Really cute art, who doesn't love a slime?
Fun game, overall easy to understand.
This might be the weirdest compliment, but I really liked your background. Normally an animated background might actually make a little sick or distracted, but I found the pulsing blue-ish/purple background pretty cool. Fun game, good entry.
game.gif
Well, that was hilarious. I found it way more amusing to sacrifice the fruit workers than to actually win. I wish the blend button was a little bigger. Did you know that the customers keep getting unhappier if you leave the lose screen going? I hope that was on purpose, seeing them red and knowing they were getting unhappier and unhappier after I was fired made me feel good.
fruit 3.gif
Made me feel smart and angry at the same time, so for a puzzle game, good job. Really smart idea. Reminded me of Fez and for some reason I thought of Portal (I know, no ascetic similarities, no humor similarities, but that's what popped into my head).
Fun game, I like the music alot. Your characters 8-bit design is simple but also totally works. I can totally imagine playing this game on a game boy color. Great job.
game.gif
I don't know why, but I really liked those title screen menu mechanics. It made it a little more fun right away. Simple, easy to understand game mechanics and an adorable shaking (dancing?) robot make for a pretty fun (albeit short with how bad I was) game. Great job!
robot.gif
Fun game, wish I could have been able to jump with "W" or "Up" while using respective keys (and maybe left/right click to pickup and throw), but that is really just a preference. Good entry, fun idea, man could my guy throw some of those items far!
Fun game but needs improvement in movement and hitbox.
Who were those people I was killing? Who was I? That was pretty funny, thanks for the fun game.
shoot.gif
Definitely has some potential. I like the art style (made me think of Gundam or more general anime more than a little bit). The control scheme was way easier to understand than so many other games. Great job.
game 6.gif
Fun game, the conservation of motion for the dust clouds drove me crazy! I really liked the background, though I am not sure it went with the "programmer art" used for the ship.
AstroDeck.gif
Fun idea, took me a little to figure out I could change my tool DURING game play, but that is on me. I wish it moved a little faster at the start. And side note, is it me or do all the LUA developers love square games? It was fun, thanks for a great entry!
CashCrops.gif
Fun game, great retro graphics (totally nailed the Tetris look). I liked playing it, but feel it would be good with just a few changes. First, help a gamer out and let loose a little bit more on the straight pieces. I agree that faster would be better. And since you can shoot the bullets, there is no reason to move. But even with all that criticism, I like the idea and had a lot of fun.
Tetris.gif
Difficult but hilarious. Had my class playing this for a while, here is one of my students trying (made sure to use one that wasn't too embarrassing). Thanks for the great idea (though it made me dizzy)

I really loved your pixel graphics and the gameplay (after following your advice and reading ALL of the directions) was pretty simple to pick up. Great Jam entry!

Great, simple graphics. The sounds and your art really sold the whole space miner vibe. Awesome entry!

Great graphics, pretty cool idea. I would actually play this post jam.
Man did I suck at hitting those cannon balls. Oh well, game looks great! Jumping mechanics are a little floaty. Great entry.

Pretty funny, even on easy I wasn't very good. I wish there was a sprint button.
I loved the idea, the theme, and the countdown mechanic kept me playing more than I should have. Great execution. I would have kept clicking on this for a while if I wasn't on a timeline. HTML version + leaderboards would = me playing forever.

@justinooncx We will look into it, thanks for the update. About the shooting, were you flying? Because you cannot shoot and fly at the same time?
@dob, @incobalt Thanks for the heads up about being in the compo, must have accidentally clicked it over on one of the edits (we definitely started in the jam)
@hopgames, @dob, @croewens, So sorry about the game not starting. I think an old build was on itch.io, but we did build this game with software using their nightly build (so we have been dealing with more instability than I am used to). It "should" be fixed if you feel like giving it another shot.
@Keppu last jam my students did it with me, this is just something some friends and I threw together. We are still paying attention to LD as a class because we are running our own Jam in a couple of weeks (preindie.com). And heck yeah bugs are breaking the game. I have never bug fixed so much and had it break things so much. I guess it should happen to everyone at least once.
Seems really cool, I am going to definitely play it more tomorrow and give you a full review. Source code?
Fun. Man did I get frustrated starting all the way over. I would play a full version of this game. Good graphics, really smooth gameplay, easy to understand.

I made a GIF of me playing this, but giving anything away from this game would definitely ruin the sense of accomplishment you feel after beginning and solving that first puzzle. I loved the sound, totally helped with the whole trance vibe. Although, now that I have stopped, and am looking normally at the world, my head hurts a little. Thanks for a great game.
Nice idea and fun music. I understand using the keys R, G, and B for red, green, and blue but the keys were too far away for me to use effectively. I would have loved to be able to set them myself or use something a little more natural for my hands (though that mostly falls on preference). I actually think this idea could make a good game with some stuff fleshed out. Great entry!

Thanks for a great game! Bullet hell and fishing were definitely dominant themes this jam, but yours definitely stood out. Great graphics and mood as well as take on the theme. Usually the 3d games seem a little clunky at LD, but it ran great and looked awesome. Good job.
I have a B.A. in philosophy, so I enjoyed the whole idea and execution of this game. The quotes at the bottom, what you gained and lost followers for. Nice, unique entry.

Fun graphics, I feel like I will be saying "interesting idea" for all the entries based on this theme. It did take me a couple of tries before I figured out what was going on. I don't think I am very good at it though :(
