I fixed the link.
If the game is running slow, particle effects can be disabled by pressing F1 and F2.
Interesting concept and wonderful atmosphere. Great job!
I love the graphics and the relaxing music!
This is amazing. It may not be a game, but it's still amazing! I did not know there are so many Ludum Darers on Europe!
Controls are a bit laggy, but otherwise very good game.
Nice puzzle game!
The best LD48 I have played this far.
I like the personal concept. Audio is also nice.
A tutorial would be nice. The game seems to have a very in-depth gameplay, so it would be nice if there was an easier way to learn the basics.
Sweet graphics and wonderful idea. Great job!
Nice graphics and design. Some kind of help screen would have been nice, I couldn't completely figure out what I was supposed to do.
Nice text adventure. Like the above comment said, this does not have too much to do with the theme (or I couldn't get it). And there were some small typing errors (like 'I' was typed 'i'). I like the graphics and audio, though.
Like someone already said, this would work perfectly on mobile device, but it's a fun game even on desktop PC.
The gameplay is rather simple, but it works very well! I liked it!
I failed to launch the game on 64-bit Windows 8.1. I'll try again on Xubuntu later.
Windows 8/8.1 thinks every non-Microsoft piece of software is a virus. A Linux version would be nice.
Innovative concept, I like it!
Nice game with good concept and gameplay.
Confusing gameplay and hard-to-understand controls: I could not get pass the third puzzle. For some reason this is not a bad thing: I like games that have their own logic.
Totally weird. And that's a good thing!
I think the graphics need more shading / more contrast between the colours and there was a bug that made the player character walk automatically, but otherwise this is a good game.
Interesting game with nice graphics.
One of the most personal concepts on this LD. Congratulations!
Oh, and plus for a (working) Linux version. Some kind of quit button would be nice, though.
Interesting idea, although tutorial would have been nice.
I don't know why, but I found this game pretty... disturbing.
Unlike some I got this working. Not a bad game made in a short time. Graphics need still some improvement and at firt the game is very confusing.
Soundtrack is nice, but the gameplay is either hard (that's a good thing, not bad, by the way) or I'm very bad playing games like this...
Wonderfull graphics and atmosphere, but gameplay (mostly the controls) was a bit awkward.
Interesting idea and personal graphics. Enter as a shoot button is somehow confusing.
I think we already have a winner, and it's this game! I'll never forget that soundtrack or those amazing graphics. Great job!
Currently only a decent game, but with some polishing this might become something interesting.
A decent game: graphics are not bad, but they are not very special either. Audio would be nice, currently the player's weapon seems very weak. With small improvements this game could become a good one.
I got an error: "IndexSizeError: Index or size is negative or greater than the allowed amount".
Not bad, but the graphics seem to bug (they appear and disappear all the time)? Not sure if it's a feature or a bug.
Wonderful! I hope I'll someday find someone to play with...
You have a personal style. Good job!
Controls are a bit slow and audio would be nice, but otherwise the game is good.
Graphics are a bit ugly (but we don't play games for graphics, so it didn't bother me). However, the sound effect for switching was rather annoying. And the player gets stuck very easily. The idea is nice, though. You should make a post-compo edition with more polishing.
A bit too short, you should make a post-compo edition with more levels. I like the idea, so I would like to play this game more!
Simply amazing! Graphics and audio, I loved them both! The gameplay was personal, which is always a good thing!
I like the art style.
The most original concept I have seen this far.
Not bad for a game made in 5 hours. You should make a post-LD edition with improved everything.
Graphics and audio are nice, but gameplay is too simple and it gets boring very quickly.
Not bad, but graphics are a bit simple and gameplay is somehow unpolished. But otherwise the game was enjoyable.
Well, this piece of art is hardly a game, but it does not matter: wonderful music, great story and personal graphics, that's all a good piece of art needs.
Nice graphics but confusing controls!
Was the game actually so short or did I miss something?
Great atmosphere and music. I also liked the graphics.
When trying to run on Xubuntu:

Nice use of the theme. I liked it!
My first impression was: "What? Only two shapes! How can I control them?". But when I figured out how to play, I realized how intelligent and fun this game is.
The space is somehow empty, it's hard to find a planet. Some kind of mini-map would be nice.
Nice idea and challenging puzzles, but please, next time add a non-installer version to be downloaded!
Nice puzzles, but those fireballs in the first level reappears too frequently. Or maybe it's just my lack of skills...
Intersting concept and great music, I could play this only for the strange music!
Interesting graphical style.
Nice gameplay. Some kind of objectives would be nice.
Gameplay is challenging, which is good thing, but those graphics... if you are ever going to make a post-compo version, improve graphics. Otherwise the game is nice.
Interesting concept, but graphical style was... confusing, shall we say.
Still needs some polishing, but it's still good.
Not bad, but better graphics and some audio (or maybe there was audio, but Wine couldn't play it, I don't know) would improve this game a lot. Nevertheless, it was fun to play in its current form.
Great and different concept!
I'm just wondering why there are so many space games here...?
Interesting concept. Could not find anyone to play with, but the game was also playable as solo, a bit difficult, though.
Now I know what it feels like to play a poem...
This game has a great atmosphere! Controls were a bit awkward, but otherwise the game is nice!
Interesting concept and nice graphics.
Nice concept and audio.
This game is... confusing. Not bad, but confusing. And those sound effects hurt my ears!
Otherwise nice, but the battle system is a bit too boring (a common problem in RPGs).
I found beautiful graphics but I couldn't find any game.
Finally something else than decent action games! It is simply amazing how a game like this could have been done in 48 hours.
One of the best puzzle games in this Ludum Dare. Please make a post-jam version with more levels!
The concept looks nice, but to be honest, the goal left partially a total mystery to me.
Personal (well, personal enough) idea. Graphics are rather simple, but no one plays games only for graphics, right?
Nice game. You should make a post-compo version with more special effects.
Interesting concept.
Nice game with polished gameplay and graphics! For some reason Linux version sometimes crashes during the third wave.
Not bad, but like some other users said, it gets boring very quickly.
I like the graphical style.
Nice game with creative gameplay, but I'm sure how it fits the theme.
Wonderful graphics!
Maybe not the most original game I have played, but still very entertaining and polished.
Hilarious game with wonderful graphics.
Wonderful gameplay concept, I must admit.
Visual style is wonderful, although the gameplay is pretty basic.
Not bad, but that music hurt my ears...
Nice game, but maybe the gameplay was a bit too simple.
Despite the graphics, very entertaining game, I liked it!
Linux version doesn't work, it says: "Error main.lua:139: attempt to index global 'gems' (a nil value)
The game is entertaining, but a bit simple.
Lovely graphics and different but nice gameplay, although it was a pretty simple experience. Anyway, one of the best I have played this far.
Not bad, although I'm happy I have a big monitor!
Concept is nice, but gameplay is rather confusing: some kind of tutorial would be nice.
Your game has a lot of polished content, it was fun to play it and the visual style was amazing. Great job!
I first thought this game is just another boring point-'n'-click game, but it turned out the game is much more! I love the way you used the theme! Great job!
Wonderful puzzle game!
Wonderful graphics, but the gameplay was a bit confusing.
I had no idea what was happening and that's so great! This game has scary atmosphere and audio supports it well. Great job!
Graphics may not be the most beautiful I have seen, but otherwise the game was enjoyable.
Entertaining little game.
Very original concept with hilarious gameplay! I couldn't help but laught!
Entertaining game, but maybe a bit too simple.
Visual style is not very beautiful, but the game itself is enjoyable.
Confusing game. Not completely bad, but the gameplay is pretty simple.
The graphics remind me of MS Paint, but otherwise the game is enjoyable.
Not bad, I liked the concept.
Like evilseanbot said, it is a bit too easy to hide in the upport portion of the screen, especially the left corner. I'm still alive and I have done nothing in last 100 seconds!
Otherwise, good game.
Nice game.
Personal gameplay and interesting concept, that's a good combination!
I got 177 points, not sure how since the gameplay is a bit confusing. Good game, anyway, I just have to learn to play it!
Personal graphical style and nice music, but the gameplay itself is a bit repeative.
Finally a game that has something to do with the theme! The game was also very entertaining.
Great game, I especially love the visual style!
Interesting concept, it took me while to figure out how to play.
Nice idea, although controls are a bit laggy.
Not bad, but maybe a bit too simple.
Wonderful concept, finally something more in-depth, not just another arcade game!
I had no idea what was happening and suddenly I lost.
Not bad, although the game is a bit too confusing: I had no idea what I was doing and what I was supposed to do.
Wonderful game!
Graphics might be a bit ugly, but gameplay was nice and I liked the idea.
The game is a bit ugly (but who cares?), but I liked the original concept.
Wonderful game, but some kind of tutorial would be nice.
Hilarious game!
Good, but a pretty basic game.
Interesting concept, although I wasn't completely sure what was happening on the screen.
Nice concept, but the controls feel a bit awkward.
Either this is very creepy or it didn't work properly on my computer. Great graphics, anyway.
Entertaining little game.
Not bad, but maybe a bit too simple.
One of the most original concept I have seen in this LD.
It's not just an entire game on one screen, it's an entire life on one screen! Fun game.
Totally amazing visual style and music. Oh, and the game's also good. One of the best jam entries I've played this far.
It's worth of playing just for the music!
So much pink, so much pink! And I assume those creatures aren't what they look like?
Wonderful game, I especially liked the graphical style!
Interesting concept, although it took a time to learn the game's logic.
What did this game teach us? Role-playing games require stronger monsters. They rarely have a chance...
I have always wanted to play a text adventure where I can poop.
The visual style is a bit poor, but the game idea is wonderful.
I liked the graphics! But that monsters sounded a bit too cute to be scary, heh.
Fun little game with an interesting concept. I liked this one. Those people just seemed to be a bit blind since I was able to walk through them and they didn't notice anything, heh.
One of the very few original gameplay concepts I have seen in this compo. Good job!
Too much waiting for my taste, but it's a good game, nevertheless.
Those spikes are almost impossible to avoid, but at least this game wasn't another Flappy Bird clone as I thought first!
Nice game. This game has potential.
A game full of fresh game mechanics and wonderful music. One of the best I have played this far, although the theme felt a bit forced. I didn't feel very monstrous while playing this game.
It was fun, although maybe not very original concept. The graphics were good.
Yay, I'm killing rectangles with numbers inside! Not bad.
Hahhah, those sound effects are perfect!
Not bad, but not very innovative either.
So this is an online multiplayer game? Working in a browser? Made within 72 hours? Sweet. Does this use websockets or something else?
Hilarious game!
Sweet graphics!
Is four zombies enough to be a horde...?
Yay, I can fire everyone!
The game feels a bit unpolished, but it doesn't matter: the game has a good amount of content (considering that it was made within three days) and personal art style.
Hahhah, totally hilarious (and awesome) game!
That a personal and innovative gameplay concept! Too bad the input doesn't work (the web console says: ReferenceError: event is not defined).
Wow, this game has a lot of content. I like it!
Heh, I had hardly any speed when I hit a car and it exploded like it was hit by a missile.
Nice concept, but like someone said, a bit repetitive.
Hah hah, hilarious game!
Like the previous user said, some GUI buttons (or better overall interface) would make playing this game much easier. Interesting concept, anyway.
I like this game, even though music-driven games are bit hard for me, heh.
Interesting concept, although the gameplay needs a faster tempo.
I love those graphics! And the music is almost too hilarious, considering that I'm killing(?) those children.
I like the concept, it's different than those "Hey, you are a vampire and you kill people" games.
Enjoyable little game with good gameplay mechanics, although I didn't understand what it has to do with the theme.
Nice game. Those sounds hurt my ears, though.
Hahhah, I loved the music!
"Couldn't get this working in Safari or Chrome :("
Hmm, this game should work on Chrome, Safari is not supported, though.
"fitting audio but i guess you didnt make it since you opted out of the category."
I did make it, but I didn't compose it: I used Otomate music generator and then edited the track with Audacity. But since I didn't compose it, I decided to opt it out.
Nice game.
Well, it's a bit short. But it doesn't have too much text like most text games I have played. And that's a good thing.
It has good graphics and audio, although the gameplay was a bit simple and not very original.
People are so impatient nowadays so I wonder if anyone bothers to play this game through. Let's hope they will.
You should explain the controls somewhere. Can I do anything else then turn left?
Hmm, interesting...
By the way, the game crashes if I press space.
Wonderful game! One of the very few games I have given at least four stars in almost every category.
Nice game! I enjoyed playing it.
Personal concept and nice usage of the theme.
The game concept seems interesting, but the gameplay is broken: the player moves to one direction automatically even if I have released all the keys. Made it a bit hard to play.
A bit too hard, but the concept is innovative.
A bit too hard, but enjoyable game.
Heh heh, I liked the sound effects, they were so spooky!
Not very original, I'm afraid. But it was fun, yes. Maybe you should have used some sprites for the people, now it feels like I'm a rectangle eating other rectangles.
Nice game, but a bit too simple. It's basically just moving left and right.
I like the relaxing music.
Nice concept, and I actually mean it.
I'm not big friend of tower defense games, but I still had fun playing this one.
Nice concept.
Fun little game. Wonderful particle effects!
So... I'm a monster who kills rectangle. I have always wanted to kill them. Nice.
I like the original concept.
Nice game.
Nice and fresh concept, but a bit too easy.
Wow, this game has a lot of content and gameplay mechanics with enough depth!
Interesting. I played a match but the game didn't tell me whether or not I won.
A bit hard, but otherwise enjoyable game.
You should make a sequel where you eat those mines. They were so much easier to hit than the humans...
Anyway, good game, I enjoyed playing it.
The linux version contains an .exe file that says 'Permission denied' when I try to run it through Wine.
Nice little game. I liked the art style.
I like the gameplay concept.
Nice game with an interesting concept and challenging gameplay.
Interesting concept.
It crashes very soon after the start. The error log says:
IndexSizeError: Index or size is negative or greater than the allowed amount FlxProject.js:26826:0
With further development this could become something interesting.
Hahhhah, that chat dialogue is hilarious! Must give 5 stars to humor!
Not the first game where I try to kill Pac-Man. Apparently people don't like that yellow little guy.
Anyway, wonderful game.
Interesting idea, I must admit.
It might need some polishing, but nevertheless, it was a very unique experience. I like games that turn out to be something else than I expected!
So... am I supposed to find something? Or is the idea that there is nothing to find?
Heh, fun little game. I enjoyed.
Better than the other LD33 games I have played this far.
I like the art. The gameplay felt a bit awkward. Maybe the camera should not move vertically so easily?
Not bad, but the gameplay is a bit too simple. And I wouldn't mind if there were more animations making the experience smoother.
Interesting game. The gameplay felt a bit awkward, though.
I like the graphics, they make the experience much better! One of the best text games made for this Ludum Dare.
The graphics are good and I like the game concept, but I would have wanted more fast-paced gameplay.
Nice gameplay and puzzles, although I think arrow keys would have been easier than IJKL. Anyway, I had fun.
Nice concept.
Confusing.
Some kind of tutorial would have been nice.
A bit simple, but fun.
By the way, I downloaded the Linux version, but what I got was a Windows executable. It didn't matter since Unity's Windows builds work fine through Wine, so I was able to play the game.
The best one I have played this far. It has wonderful graphics, music and gameplay. I just didn't understand what this game has to do with the theme. And the game might be a bit too hard, maybe.
So I'm eating people? Nothing extraordinary in my life.
...
Anyway, fun little game.
I love the music, it fits the game perfectly!
You should add more contrast to graphics. Now it's a bit too hard to separate the sprites from the background.
Anyway, nice little game.
This game has a spooky atmosphere, and that's a good thing! I love the simple pixel art, it fits the game perfectly.
I had to google "Ketchapp" before I understood how the theme is shown in this game.
Interesting concept, although the gameplay could have been a bit smoother. Maybe some sound effects (if there were sound, it didn't work on my PC)?
The moving is a bit awkward since you have to wait a second until the guy reacts to keyboard input.
I like the way you have used the theme and the overall concept, but the gameplay is way too boring. Try to make it more fast-paced.
The game felt a bit laggy, but Firefox + 64-bit Linux never give you the most optimal speed, though. Anyway, nice game.
There are never too many turn-based games in this world. The graphics were a bit dark, though, some objects were hard to see. But that's probably just my monitor.
Nice graphics.
Nice game with wonderful music. The graphics would have needed some work, though, but they are good enough.
The monster moves too slowly. Try to add more speed to make the game experience smoother.
The controls didn't work properly: the character just automatically run into a single direction got stuck in the terrain.
Well... the game might still need some work. I liked the graphics, though.
Nice game. I like the style of the monster!
Interesting, rather unique idea.
But I don't want to kill YVs! Not sure are those the same YVs I'm thinking about (or from the same game), but if so, then I would rather use that eye beam to kill Lil Hunter...
Anyway, nice game.
Enjoyable puzzle game, although it hardly had any fresh ideas, although the game has a good amount of content considering that it was made in 12 hours.
Personal monster choice.
So hard but very hilarious little game. Finally a game where I'm a monster who doesn't try to harm anyone!
Not bad, but you should add more animations and maybe particle effects to make the game experience a bit smoother.
Those missiles hit a bit too easy. Maybe you should reduce the hitboxes.
It's a bit buggy, especially the controls. But I like the idea.
Nice concept, but the game maps are bit dark and therefore it's hard to see where the walls are.
The game has personal graphics and music fits the game very well, but it felt like I didn't understand everything about the gameplay mechanics...
Nice game, although you should try to make the gameplay a bit smoother.
I love the graphics, although the gameplay is a bit awkward.
Not bad, although it was a bit too slow-paced. Maybe a faster tempo would make it more addicting?
So I cannot get past the fungi? Sad.
I like the kangaroo sprite, but the audio hurt my ears.
I never want to kill goblins in Final Fantasy again.
I have always wanted to be a troll and destroy everything.
A bit simple, but otherwise enjoyable. I liked it.
Finally a game with innovative game concept! Plus wonderful graphics and gameplay! Good job!
Interesting... I wish there had been subtitles, now I missed some parts of the narration.
If I use a die to choose the decision, am I a monster...? Great game, anyway.
The art style makes the game atmosphere unique. I liked it!
Interesting game with well-written text.
Heh, this really challenged my brain!
Nice game. I first thought those divers are fish.
I like the concept of this game, although I didn't figure out how the theme is used in this game.
Well, it was... interesting. But also a bit too boring.
I knew that if I ruled a nation, people wouldn't like me, and now it has been proven. Nice game!
The art style is not very beautiful, but the game itself is pretty nice.
I like the visual style, but I didn't understand what this game has to do with the theme. Or am I a monster to the other player?
A personal concept.
Nice game, although the battle system felt a bit awkward. Maybe there should be more animations and attack effects?
Personal idea, both gameplay and the way you used the theme.
Someone else said interesting concept, but so do I. Interesting concept.
Well... the game is a bit simple. Maybe you should add more variation? And maybe more animations to make the gameplay a bit smoother.
A lot of dialogue. I'm glad it's well-written.
Yay, I can execute everyone!
Enjoyable puzzle game.
Wonderful, personal visual style and audio.
Nice game with fun gameplay, although the theme feels a bit forced. Yes, you said I'm a monster hacker, but I didn't feel like neither.
Well, it's chess and it's not even working correctly (there is something weird going on with the turn order). I'm a monster, I'm playing chess! But I liked the graphics, though.
Not bad, but there is something weird in the controls...
Not bad. I like those monster sprites!
That monster sprite is wonderful.
Nice game, I like the concept and the amount of content (made in 48h, hard to believe)
Wonderful game! Someone said he didn't like music, but I actually enjoyed it.
You should add a short tutorial that tells what the player is supposed to do.
Hilarious game. I love the graphics!
Nice game, but maybe a bit too simple. But I had fun, I have to admit that.
I like the art and the cut-scenes in the beginning, although the game itself was too easy.
So this is a compo entry and it's still so polished and had a good amount of content? Wow.
Good game, although the visual side is a bit letdown. But we don't play games for graphics, so it doesn't matter.
