I thought this was rather fun to play, I played several levels just having fun with the swarm mechanic. I liked the design of the little ball-guys as well.
On the other hand, I never really figured out what was going on besides the swarm/unswarm mechanic. The mutations were supposed to be negative, but I never saw any meanigful effect.
I really like the idea, although it takes a bit before it gets interesting.
I quite liked building a little ecosystem out of these things, surprisingly entertaining.
Very cool game! Played through to 100%, the revealing the world mechanic proved a bit addicting.
It was fun to play, and I thought the graphics were charming.
Great little game!
I also can't run it because MSVCR71.dll is missing. On 64 bit Windows 7.
I thought the path selection was an interesting mechanic. The music was good as well.
I have no idea what the colored tiles mean, or why there were sometimes spikes. It seemed like the only thing to do was select for a path the the other ball. Pretty cool concept, but not much of a game.
Great atmosphere and cool mechanics, even though I didn't find the way out.
This game was surprisingly fun, I played through the entire game. The levels had plenty of variation and were all quite enjoyable, except for the VERY slow moving platforms combined with spike balls. I liked the simplistic art style as well.
The only thing missing is how it relates to the theme. Your description says the level is evolving, but nothing in the game itself says what's going on.
Excellent work! The graphics were especially awesome!
Fun and stylish, I like it!
Very interesting mechanic. I couldn't keep track of where I was while walking silently, but I enjoyed everything up to that point.
My favorite game so far! This is a really fun little Nuclear Apocalypse sim, I played it for probably 45 min :). My only thoughts are that being able to build out more would be fun too - alcoves of hydroponics and things. Thanks for a great game!
Amusing. Reminds me a lot of the Stanley Parable
awesome graphics, and fun gameplay :). I did have a little trouble getting away from the crabs. didn't kill me just got stuck for awhile until i could get facing them
This was the most fun game I've played so far!
I think I swallowed everything in your solar system.
Not bad for only a day's work!
Great game! I love the art-style!
Very unique take on the theme, I like it!
Very cool game! There's a surprising amount of atmosphere in this little world.
Also, riding the motorcycle while fighting off bandits was just plain fun. I'd definitely be interested in seeing more of this world.
Looks great, sounds great, fun to play!
Squishing them is so satisfying! And the art direction is awesome as well.
Very interesting idea, I like it!
I love the concept, and it's fun too!
Very fun once you get the hang of it! And the style is just icing on the cake.
Loved it! Smashing yourself with a piano right at the beginning is both hilarious and a great way to explain the mechanics of the game.
Excellent idea!
Pretty interesting, and now I want a chocolate chip cookie.
@bakpakin: I added a Mac version in case you want to try it, but I don't have any way to test if it works myself.
Interesting idea, clean graphics, and pretty fun. The only downside is this it can take a while for a submarine/diver to get in range of another tentacle. It might be nice to release an attached tentacle, even if it had some penalty.
Vaguely related / random thought: the graphics remind me a lot of Nom Nom Galaxy. You might want to check out that art style if you're interested in ideas for adding to your existing style.
Cool idea and well executed!
Not entirely sure what I was doing, but I looked beautiful and sounded great.
It was enjoyable to just float around eating pips and listening to the music for quite a while.
Nice game! The graphics were pretty stylish and the missiles were fun. I would definitely play an extended version of this!
Very cool idea! I liked the little art gallery at the end!
It was a little hard to figure out what I was doing until I entered the shadow mode, but then I couldn't go grab more toys.
Wow, this was hilarious!
Excellent voice acting, and I love that you clearly used photos of plastic dinosaurs for the art.
Great game, sucking things out the windows into space was an awesome mechanic!
Good game, but I don't think you should just abandon the theme. The whole point is to come up with a game that works with the theme. :/
Fun to play, the graphics are simple but stylish, all around a great entry!
This is an awesome idea, very cool to play with the AI and try to devise a strategy!
The levels in the post-compo do a good job of exploring the idea further, although I think it would take even more levels before I really felt like I got the hang of it.
Great idea, and the painted art style is amazing!
Wow, great looking game with excellent atmosphere!
Took a while to get the hang of if, but it's pretty fun to play around with the physics. And the spider guy is pretty cute.
My pie!
Fun game, although a little more depth in the mechanics would improve it.
Awesome storytelling, way to make something really unique with the theme!
Wow, really interesting idea! Hilarious to see the adventurers pose only to be a puddle of blood seconds later.
The phone interface is a great idea, but execution could use a bit of work. I wasn't sure commands to the adventurer were working at first while he was far away, some audio or visual cue that you gave the command would help with this.
Overall very innovative and funny!
I love it! It's like the WarioWare of being a jerk.
Very cool, I really liked the hand-drawn graphics!
Apparently I'm a huge jerk just because I pushed a couple people under speeding cars.
Simple idea, well executed, and pretty fun. I love the "woah" sound effect when you push the people.
This was awesome! Very fun to play and way more content than I'd expect for compo game (or a jam game for that matter).
Very good game! The mechanics seem simple, but aiming and flying at the same time provides a good challenge.
Great idea and a superb execution of it! The graphics, music, and sounds are all very polished and fit well with the kinda clumsy, goofy robot building. (The robot is clumsy, not building it. The drag-and-drop building was slick, simple, and just worked)
There's only one critique I can give; it felt like some of the levels needed more precise controls than what the robot (or my ability to control it) had.
Excellent game, and I'd definitely be interested to see what you do with it after the jam.
This was great! The random events really make you worry about throwing something useful into the engine. It did seem like excessive bravado worked out better than a more reasonable approach (or at least it did for my run), but that just fits with the humor of the game.
I also liked how it listed all of your (questionable) accomplishments at the end, a really nice touch!
This is great, a unique little puzzle game and an innovative take on the theme!
I really liked how simple the basic concept was, and how quickly it got challenging. The style is also superb; clean but with colors that really make it pop.
There are a couple minor issues I had: - Creating extra nodes helps reduce clutter as the game picks up, but I played a few rounds before realizing you could add nodes WITHOUT making sums. - Using the same color for multiple things can be confusing. I've mistaken 1-producers for 1-consumers multiple times because consumers all use the white color. (Yes, after a few seconds I realize the shapes are completely, obviously different)
Overall I really liked this, and hope to see more of it!
This was great, such a hilarious take on the theme!
Great job on the animation as well, perfectly sells how much it sucks to get out of bed in the middle of the night!
Very cool game! I like the command line for moving the robots and the changing camera for individual bots was neat.
The ending was more confusing than intriguing to me though. :/
Fast paced and hectic once things really get going!
This felt like a very cleanly designed game, it's got everything you need and nothing you don't. It made it easy to get in the flow of things when the enemies started showing up faster. I had trouble keeping up with the enemies, but never felt like I was actually struggling.
I do think some additional challenge could make the game even better, perhaps a new threat you need to prioritize with the existing enemies?
Anyway, excellent game and great job!
Quite a fun little puzzle game! You did a great job introducing the mechanics throughout the levels and ramping up the difficulty as things progressed.
The only thing that I got confused about was one of the levels required multiple batteries to power a colored core. I'm not sure if that was explained and I missed it, but it did hang me up for a minute.
Such a great little arcade game!
I liked how the energy bar forced you to jump into the middle of the enemies and collect the cubes instead of just kiting around them and waiting til they're all dead. I also really liked the way the new level popped in and the animation predicting where enemies would spawn.
I did have trouble aiming at enemies behind walls at the far end of the arena. This might just be a consequence of the camera angle, but it was WAY easier to shoot slightly in front of or behind them compared to enemies at the front of the arena.
Cool idea, collecting the power-ups just to keep the lights on.
It could really use some feedback for bullet impacts and enemies dying; they just kinda ignore your bullets until they disappear.
Fun game, and the graphics look pretty good as well! I did find the off-track slowdown to be a pretty severe penalty though.
Great little game! Art, music, design all work well to further the bleak take on the theme. I thought it was a lot of fun to manage the throughout an deal with the changing requirements at each level.
My only complaint is that by the last level it seemed to be more "how fast can you click" than "how well can you manage these resources".
Really fun idea! I liked that you have to choose whether the resources go to maintenance or defense.
Like others said, it does get easy too quickly. It was the most fun in the first half a minute or so when I needed to figure out what everything does and set up a basic defense.
I liked this take on the theme! The graphics are also great; simple but have lots of personality.
It could probably use more explanation or a tutorial, it took me a bit of trial-and-error to understand what all the machines were doing and what my goal was.
Cool game! The art was great, sounds were good, and it was a really innovative idea!
The physics made it really frustrating to actually play though. I never quite got the hang of grabbing things, let alone putting them in the cart.
Awesome game! It's a ton of fun to slash away at the swarm of bad guys and the special attack was satisfyingly powerful. The music was great as well.
I did have a bit of trouble telling when I would hit the enemies at first. I repeatedly would swipe at them where I though I should hit them, only to miss and have them kill me an instant latter.
I really liked the vibrant but simple art style!
