Hilarious! My favourite part was when I got to piss on things. The game was surprisingly difficult and the pee meter went down quite quickly, it was very difficult to keep up with the blaze.
I also liked the face map, it was a nice touch. :|
Interesting and fun, if a little buggy. I liked the artwork and the silly weapons a lot. The audio got a bit repetitive, though. Good job!
The game is not packaged correctly. Please upload a zip file.
Amusing concept but the game is extremely short.
Very interesting! Quite polished, to say the least. Shooting through walls is a neat mechanic that could see other uses in the future.
A crab flew at me. :P
Good job, though!
An interesting idea, but could use a lot of polish. Keep at it!
I can't seem to get it to run! I only get a black canvas with a few grey UI elements.
Worth noting, I am running Chrome 42. I tried disabling AdBlock to no avail.
Hilarious concept! Throwing potatoes at the Secret Service to defeat Obama made me laugh for sure. The game itself was pretty mediocre though, it didn't really feel like I was making progress. I eventually closed the game before reaching the end or a game over.
The graphics and audio left a lot to be desired, but you definitely had a strong grasp of the theme!
The game looks good, sounds good, and controls really bad! I feel like in this sort of game, up should always be north, or at the very least a more clear indicator which direction you are facing.
Level progression could make the game a lot more fun, too. Maybe kill X zombies in Y level, every Z levels there is a "boss", that sort of thing?
All in all, a great LD entry!
Quite fun! The "Star" power up was nice. My biggest frustration was that my car was too fragile, even bumping into a tree very slowly caused insta-death. Maybe give the player health? it would be a lot more fun to not always be worrying about that tree over there.
A neat idea, 5/5 for theme! Some issues I had with the game were that the mouse sensitivity (Windows) was way too high, and the mouse cursor wasn't captured in game so as I spun around my mouse would leave the game window.
Adding a character model to the mirror reflection and some sfx would have really improved the mood, too.
All in all, a fun LD entry. :)
I couldn't seem to get it to work very well, and my Xbox controller started vibrating like mad and did not stop until I closed the game. I am running the Windows executable.
An amusing concept, but execution left something to be desired. It was quite difficult to maneuver around enemies to the point where I just stood there and took hits.
Keyboard controls would have also been nice, I just happened to have an Xbox controller, otherwise I would not have been able to play.
Overall a decent LD entry.
@jesterwilde If it crashes on "Play", it sounds like a driver issue. This game requires OpenGL 3.0+. It may not work on older Intel GMA chips.
@Docjekyll ᕙ(° Д°)／
@j_peeba Thanks! Yeah we put the % hit chance in at the last moment. If we had more time we would have spent time adding more useful information.
@RobotHoboDanceParty I love your name! Our voice actress had a blast doing those lines, I'll let her know it has been well received! Animations were choppy since we spent a lot of time fighting our tools :( Next LD will be better!
@strong99 The words of Prof. Oak come to mind, "You can't do that here!"
@@ccglp Thanks!
@Windmill Games: Thanks!
@Dixbit That's Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausführung H-sensei to you!
@nassi We only had enough time at the end to do a bit of balancing, we couldn't thoroughly test it so it ended up having one reeeally strong attack
@SpringCabal Admittedly, the game gets a little old, fast. If we had another full day we could have done a lot more with animations to liven it up but what we did have was created in the final hour. ;)
@Team Ex-Sword-Stential: There is a weird bug where having a controller plugged in may cause that crash. If you unplug it, it should work. We're looking into it!
@MonoS: The game does run at a solid 60 FPS. The animations do leave something to be desired, we had to throw them together quite quickly at the end.
Whoa! Awesome! <3
@Bashabookoos Sounds like a graphics driver issue. This game requires OpenGL 3.0+.
@Yoon: I assure you, that "bug" happened to everyone. :P
And yes, Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausführung H-sensei is so kawaii~ <3
Interesting and amusing. I felt the music was quite repetitive, but the art style was nice! The game was quite confusing to get the hang of but near the end of the first round I figured it out.
The controls didn't seem to give very helpful feedback. I wasn't sure if I was pressing the buttons on time or not. I also feel like an "attraction" bar or some indicator to let you know tourists are following you could help.
Over all, quit encie!
I like the concept! The game definitely could have used some more polish such as the girl could have been animated, some music and sfx, the camera was a little wonky, and the scene was very geometric.
It was, in fact, a musical trip.
Clicked for the title, chuckled at the "Warning" screen. Game could have used some more feedback such as a timer. I was a bit confused why I was being possessed. Perhaps adding time for each picture captured could give you a more interesting goal?
No sfx for a music game? :( I did like being able to wall jump with the trombone, though.
I was hoping for a pirate with a bear for a beard. :(
The game was amusing. I felt that the ants were relentless and it was difficult to kill them, they eventually stack up and kill you instantly. Perhaps a little balance, or having ants come in waves?
A good first attempt! I couldn't really figure out how to play even after reading the description. I did find the game to be pretty though, I found the character to be quite amusing.
Truly, an inspiration to us all!
Terrific game, awesome presentation! I liked the unconventional use of a conventional weapon take, too!
My only real complaints would be that the controls seemed unreliable, and that magnetism was not fast enough/reliable enough to gather coins.
Awesome job!
Top notch game! The audio really made the mood and made the game feel tense as you crept up on the human. Great job!
Interesting little game.
Very interesting turn-based battle game. Add more variation! :D
Great entry! LOVERS UNITE! The voices are super cute, as is the art. Gameplay is solid too. Great job!
Ha! Very cute idea, I liked it. :) Plumbers psyching me out though... Frustrating! :P
Neat-o game! I was a bit confused about which organ did what and the map being larger than the viewport wasn't immediately obvious, but otherwise it was fun to play! Good job!
Funny concept. The mouse should lock to the cursor though, I kept clicking off the window. Add some sound as a post-entry!
Very pretty game!
Nice game, very difficult.
Great job! Please fix the controller controls ;) On an Xbox controller, "A" is mapped to pause, "B" is jump, and "Y" is attack.
Very cool idea!
Pretty game with a nice concept.
I couldn't really figure out what to do. :( It was cute, though!
Hilarious. :V
Truly a masterpiece. This will go down in history as a modern day Shakespeare. 11/10 GOTY.
Neat game, I liked the concept.
Great entry!
Fun game but the collision became frustrating. Could have also used check points.
Cool first entry!
Great game, I liked the genre mixing. :)
Cool concept, reminds me a bit of Goats on a Bridge. The player movement was a bit too sluggish and became frustrating though, perhaps tightening that a bit would make it more fun? Keep at it!
A very dark and depressing game. Excellently executed. The bouncing happy children were an interesting contrast to the visibly distraught husband and the malicious wife. Great job!
The difference between human and beast mode was confusing. Could you explain it better?
First fighting game I've seen on LD, cool! Could use a little more depth, but otherwise it was fine!
Fun, responsive game filled with wanton destruction. Props. :)
Very polished and fun game! Great job!
Pretty great game! I loved being able to swap between the two monsters and using each of their abilities together to beat the levels. Graphics and audio fit the game well, too. Good job!
Absolutely fantastic game. Gameplay was rock solid, the mood was perfect, controls worked great. All around a fun and enjoyable game. Expand it and sell it, you'd earn a good bit of coin. :)
A game with a message? Pfffffft! Good job though, I had a laugh. :)
Not bad! A little disappointing that each wave was the same, but otherwise it was fun. :)
Fun and simple. Good job!
The mouse isn't captured by the game window (Windows, WebGL) so I can't turn around making the game unplayable. :( Please fix and I'll try again!
Always a fan of proc gen content! I also enjoyed crunching those pesky chips. Keep up the good work!
Great game as usual! I'd like it if the controls were a little less awkward but the game itself was solid. Great job!
Funny little game, could use more content though!
Wat. :V
Fun game! Controls were a bit clunky but it played well enough. Good job!
Game works well enough but the lack of content is damaging.
Good entry! The cursor wasn't locked to the window so it kept clicking away. :(
Fun little game! Perhaps switch it to holding shift for slow since speed is really important?
Wooo, RPGs!
Very fun and interesting, I really liked the sonar effect. Great job!
Very pretty game and a silly idea. Great job! Perhaps in multiplayer mode it would be nice to differentiate team mates with different colours? I kept forgetting when Kraken I was D:!
Interesting, but very confusing. D:
Great game, keep working on it! I feel like the controls could be adjusted or adding a keymap screen would be nice.
Good entry! Graphics were a bit blurry but otherwise fine. Keep at it!
PLEASE tweet this to @realdonaldtrump! God damn hilarious. 9000 peppers out of a pepper.
Very cute! I can see kids being very entertained by this on a tablet. Very colourful and storybook-esque. Great work!
Thank you everyone for your feedback! We are aware that the gameplay is quite lacking as we ran out of time and had to cut many ideas to meet the deadline. We plan to spend some time polishing Shark Swimulator in the coming days or weeks and hopefully have a more solid game/demo/thing. We're pretty happy with what we accomplished in 72 hours though, but we definitely want to keep working on this.
Your honest feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to hearing more in the coming weeks! <3
@squarepug: Can you tell me your OS and GPU/driver version? You can reply here or DM me on Twitter @LandonManning.
@Windmill Games: Thanks! <3
OadT: It would be enter/return on keyboard. :)
I couldn't figure out how to play. :(
Fun little game! You could add a health bar to your player perhaps? :D
Funny concept, I liked the disguise mode. :)
Nice story, fun little game. The music was a bit low quality and got tedious after a while but otherwise things were great. You did great for your first compo entry!
Pretty funny game, I liked how it just kept piling on weapons. One detail I was very fond of was the car wheels flying off. Awesome job!
A very good and polished game. Awesome job! :D
Simple game, I liked how the fishing boats were larger than the warships. ;)
I have no worlds to say other than "Wow." Gameplay was fun, colourful, and I liked how the military ramped up over time. The memorium at the end sealed the deal. 5/5 all around, you win Ludum Dare.
Controls were a bit awkward (and no left handed jump?) but otherwise a fun little game.
Cute game, I liked the wiggly guys. ;)
Great game! Improving the controls a little could do wonders, though. :)
I like the hand-drawn assets! :D
Great entry, I like the funny scream that the prisoners made. Keep at it!
Great first game! My biggest issue is that the continuity between each screen seemed off. If I exit screen 1 form the left I'd expect to be on the right of screen 2 but that wasn't always the case. Keep at it, you're doing great!
Tentacle animations were super smooth and the game had a lot of power ups. Good job!
Silly little game, controls were a bit awkward though.
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare! <3
Very pretty and explodey game! Please adjust the collisions so that you cannot walk over craters. :x
I like how the trees actually had leaves instead of billboards. Truly revolutionary. :)
Looks like it will be interesting when it's done, keep at it!
Neat game, the pixel art and effects looked great.
Fucking fantastic. Nothing more to say.
Nice retro look! I liked the boss mechanic. :)
Please export to Windows or HTML5! :(
Very pretty game with a silly story. Great job!
Cute and simple. The voices were a laugh. :)
Game didn't quite match the theme, but was still a good game nonetheless. Integrating path finding in just a few days is impressive. Keep working on it!
Kek. Good game. :)
Fun little game! Controls are pretty difficult, though!
Not bad! The sfx could be toned down a little and adding controls using the arrow keys would be a plus.
Cute little game, I like how the tentacles wobble.
(\/)(;,,;)(\/)
Really cool concept! I liked the cutesy Mario, the cranky Bowser, and the funny beat boxing. Good job! Only complaint would be that the controls felt unresponsive, but you can fix that!
Very funny and interesting game. Cute graphics and theme song, too!
Interesting game, but maybe a bit too over done on the emotion?
Solid game. Having several player states and being able to interact with the environment is a really neat mechanic. The game looked wonderful and the audio was great too. Please expand this into a full game!
Great first entry!
Cool, you used my library! :D
Nice little game! Very pretty pixel art and great music!
Poor grandma. :(
Good job! Please fix mouse lock in the Windows build :D
Very pretty and neat game! Perhaps more complex levels could help, and checkpoints so that you don't need to start from the beginning if you die? :D
Very cool came! Looks great, music sets the mood, but I found the third boss too difficult :(
Very pretty, but confusing?
Nice game fellow LOVEr! :D Game was a bit too difficult and not enough checkpoints, otherwise solid!
Great concept, the live time reminded me of Majora's Mask. Some more content would make the game a lot more fun though!
Really fun little game! Add more levels and baddies and release it on Steam/itch! :D
Very fun! I didn't know a T-rex could accelerate so quickly! Always love a good wreck everything game. :)
Didn't fit the theme that well but otherwise a very solid game.
Looks great, plays great, neat concept. Only complaint is that it is *really* hard. Great job!
Pretty solid gameplay. With a few more mechanics you could fill this out into a full length game! Great job!
Such a silly game. The music was a little repetitive but the sfx were great.
Wow, colour me impressed. I really liked how the story played out and how the audio and visuals helped set the mood. Great job!
I won all the stars. :D
A got embedded in platforms from time to time, but otherwise everything worked great. Awesome work!
Great entry! Audio was superb and the graphics fit. My input is that the enemy bombs could be a little larger and brighter, and that the player ship moves just a tad too fast.
Another solid entry from Windmill Games! Simple bit effective game with good controls, music, and visuals. I only have two qualms: return should be used for selecting menu items instead of space, and blocking attacks was somewhat hit-and-miss (pun very intended) due to using the same control scheme as attack.
Very pretty pixel art and a strict interpretation of the theme. A surprising amount of combos, too. Great job you guys! :D
A solid 5/5. Great execution, great mood, lots of content. Awesome job!
On a side note, I feel like the player bullets should be a little thicker, like 2-3px instead of 1px. In the beginning it was hard to hit anything because I was always 1px or so off. It wasn't until I got the third gun that I felt comfortable with my ability to shoot things.
@NirabazGAMES: What was the error?
Yeah this game isn't as polished as our other ones due to my computer catching fire midway through the jam. Once I buy a new power supply, we plan to improve it a bit more to bring it up to snuff.
I can set the voice cooldown to be a bit higher, or have our voice actress add more variation.
I am pretty impressed with this game. First of all, I definitely appreciate the strictness you took with the theme with even the menu adhering to the two-button rule. The music and graphics were good and the puzzles were fun.
What really impressed me is that you also included your level editor with the game. That's just awesome!
One minor bug: At the end of the last level I tried to jump over the goal to see if I could break out of your world. I ended up on top of the goal and unable to actually finish the level.
Great job all around, definitely one of my favourite entries yet!
Having a very difficult time figuring out exactly what to do here...
As others have stated, cancelling selection would have been a huge improvement to the game. Otherwise, it's pretty neat. If you could patch that in for a Post-LD release, that would be great!
Interesting game but I seem to be unable to do any real damage to the centre block. Perhaps a boss health indicator could help?
Wow, a really solid game! It took a few moments to figure out how to play and I wasn't aware I would move the camera around so I was very confused about why red was doing so well despite my screen being mostly blue. I won in the end, though! :)
Quite a solid release. The visual style fit well and the menu screen was pretty neat.
Fun little game! I noticed a few bugs. The title is spelled incorrectly, and when I press return on the how to play screen, it crashes.
A very solid entry, not much else I can say. :)
Unable to get the game to work due to a shader error (see my post in the LOVE forum thread)
Great game! Clean up the art, come up with 50-100 levels, and sell it on mobile!
Great game! Great execution! The voice was a bit annoying though. :D
Great job, wish the final level leveled. :D
Very pretty game, but single player severely lacked in game play. Wasn't able to play local multi.
Solid entry, one of the best we've seen yet! Absolutely hilarious, and quite fun. Great job!
Very pretty game! I feel like the poisonous shrooms should have given you an LSD effect instead of killing you. :)
Thanks everyone for your feedback!
@megalukes: The controls could definitely be better. Jumping back and shooting followed the direction you were facing in that frame, not the direction you were turning to, which can be improved.
@ciaodivinci: I think a lot of people were confused by that. The idea was to switch you to the least-useful weapon to fight that particular tiger, but we ran out of time and couldn't add the UI elements we wanted to help indicate that better.
@Windmill Games: Thanks for always dropping by! We're pretty happy with the results of this game too. We're planning on expanding the archer mechanics some more and make it feel really nice, and maybe make a stand-alone game about strategically kiting things around.
@Rakowu: Yeah we wanted to add a skip button but 5 minutes before submission period ended, we just had to say pencils down and upload. :x
@APantaloni: Thanks! We plan to expand on this idea some more!
@Aaranos: You auto switch when you get bitten.
@Red_Fan games: Thanks! <3
@TheCain: The bow requires more precision than the melee weapons, and there was some issue with controls that we weren't able to tidy up before submission.
@nickavv: Thanks! We tried to balance the mechanics as much as we could but we ran out of time. The bow definitely became the most fun to use, yet the hardest to land a hit with.
@josefnpat: Always needs more waifus. :3~
@josemwarrior: Good job! He's tough! The ending was pretty rushed as we ran out of time. The idea was that Grandpa was going to give you some female clothing because he's a creepy old dude, but you show up already wearing a dress! If you play Play+, you'll see that you're wearing different clothes. We wanted it to be a one-piece swimsuit but only had time to recolour the dress you were already wearing. We had some other ideas for Play+ like being able to toggle whichever weapon you wanted, but again, time.
We will be releasing an update soon with improved controls~
Interesting take on the matching game style!
Game felt very complete, was fun, and interesting. Great job on that music, too! <3
Great game! You could expand this by adding more progression. :)
Neat concept, but the audio made me want to kill myself. ;) Next time, try normalizing your audio using Audacity so that it doesn't clip. Something like -6 or -4 dB.
Great job! Novel take on Pac-Man, could have used more content. :D
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Pretty interesting game, but it was too dark and difficult to gauge the ghost.
Great game, very interesting!
Great game! A lot of fun. Fog of war was a bit too restricting, though.
Great game!
Great entry!
Great job! The shape shifting didn't really feel integrated.
Great job! Some objectives could have been more clear. <3
Great game all around. Top notch. :)
Way too flashy, but interesting nonetheless!
Interesting game, but too hard to really give it a go.
Great LD entry! Could have been more fun with better controls.
Solid game, very difficult, but quite pretty.
Neat game! Good job!
Took me a minute to realize I could control the fish. Flopped about, traveled the room, moved the food out of the frying pan.
Neat! I like how the room becomes smaller over time; that was clever! Nice game!
~josefnpat
Very nice job! I really enjoyed it, just wish it had more to it! (Not entirely sure what happened at the end) Great game!
~josefnpat
Dad got in the way of my entertainment, had to go outside:<
Cute art! Would have been more moody with some sweet tunes. :)
I'm not sure what I was supposed to be doing as well, but I planted a bunch of plants!
Nice to see a clicker game! Wish there was more, or maybe autoclicking! Nice game.
~josefnpat
Great entry! :)
Pretty fun little game, graphics seemed nice and audio fitting. Shooting seemed a little buggy when switching sides but maybe there was supposed to be that delay? Anyway nice work.
Excellent game, I liked the plot, took me one a few games to figure out the order of things. Great graphics, fitting audio.
Great game! Very impressive for a compo game. The pseudo3d in love is pretty cool too!
Easy to pick up and fun to keep playing. Add some progression and maybe a couple more basic mechanics and sell this on itch for a few bucks!
Fun game, I liked you could teleport around and that it was a round room and who doesn't like pace beavers?! Good job on graphics and misic.
Fun with pretty good visuals and sound. Timing seems slightly off if you ask me. :P Not sure I understand score...
Audio seemed uh, odd. Not a lot of bling for more my room. Pretty easy game.
That is a really cool concept shifting the room around like that, nice work.
Very nice entry! Very cool to see a classic Sim City 2k feel in a game jam game. I feel like a lot of the art didn't have enough contrast, so I had troubles seeing things. Regardless, solid entry!
~josefnpat
Solid entry, quite funny and interesting.
I didn't really understand what was going on.. :x
What a curious game! I will have to try this again later when I have more time, but what a great little experience! This was a great game, thanks!
~josefnpat
Fun little game, very short as there isn't much gameplay, graphics seemed nice and music & sound fit well.
Solid design! Would have been nice to have some music, but it's nice to see such a well thought out puzzle!
~josefnpat
Great job getting so much into such a little cart! I loved the humor and the narrative. So many paintings... Regardless, great job!
~josefnpat
Really great game! Very fun and strategic. hi5
Well, uh, it's a nice start, the mini-games seemed a little rough and it's sorta hard to tell what goes with what visually. Music seemed calming though which is good for games like this.
I had a great time playing this game, but unfortunately with only two "clients" it makes for a rather shallow experience. I can imagine with a bunch more clients, maybe some color swapping, this game could have held my attention for a lot longer! Great game!
~josefnpat
This was really cool. I love how you chopped up the graphics and used love.video!
~josefnpat
Great first Unity project!
The game was very reminiscent of VVVVVV, which I enjoyed. I had a good time with this game, but the wall-jump was a tad unpredictible. Great game!
~josefnpat
Hahaha, this is a fantastic game! I loved the humor and the graphics, and especially how the game became harder over time. Fantastic job!
~josefnpat
Fun game! The lighting felt a bit dark but otherwise looked great! Cheers <3
Ooo, very pretty game! Everything felt top notch! Even being able to push the enemy into the deaththingamajib!
Really great game, although it ran poorly on my laptop; but my laptop is crap, so no worries. I think this could have been nicely expanded on with some levels and some stories!
~josefnpat
This was a very cool game! I like the system, and got up to wave 12. I enjoyed the variety of weapons, but wish I could upgrade towers more. Perhaps a variety of enemies would be nice too. All in all, great!
~josefnpat
Hmm, I really liked the graphics and feel, but the game kinda dimmed into gray and became unplayable and seemed to close, not sure if that was a crash or not while I looked for father's hammer. Overall fitting music and dialog, great graphics. I was able to walk half through the wall earlier when discussing the star on our window. I would consider that a bug...
I like the theme of the game, not sure how it relates to one room though. I like the sim idea, and wish it had a bit more breath and maybe some music/audio.
Fun game though, nice job!
~josefnpat
Absolutly fantastic entry! Fun mechanics, nice art and music.
That red kills my eyes, burning them away...
Also what? Hahahaha That was a strange game.
Very coo game, I'm glad you had a tutorial! Some music or sound effects would have made this game great!
This is a really solid entry. Simple, but really straightforward. I like the basic graphics, and loved the music!
~josefnpat
Overall, great game, touching theme about what to do towards the end of life. Really digged the graphics too, good simple gameplay, game concept. You only need one room to think about the end. - B
Starfish doesn't like wine.
Great game! I love how you used pico8 colors and sfx, but worked without constraints! Must have made it easy :3
I especially like the music by the way. Got through a bunch of levels grooving on that! There was a similar game (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-37/?action=preview&uid=64665) but I have to say I like the added "tetris" component you have!
Hold tab to speed through the cutscenes~

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thanks everyone for your comments and criticisms! Keep them coming!
If you have a crash log, please send it to us on Twitter (see top of crash.log in %APPDATA% or your OS's equivalent for Twitter handles) or post an issue on our GitHub (click "Source" on the download page").
The general consensus here that we made the game a bit too difficult, heh. Please remember to collect and use potions! That aside, I do agree, we ended up making the boss quite a bit more difficult than we originally intended. For most of the time, he ended up being too easy, so we ramped up the difficulty near the end without much time to balance. Oops!
Our animations are pretty janky for sure. Our animation system didn't have animation blending in time for LD so we just sorta rolled with what we had. We now have animation blending though, so our next game will feel a lot smoother!
There is an invulnerability time! :P
Very nice job! I enjoyed knocking down the walls, but I am unsure of how I could tell what was or what wasn't a supporting wall. Great game!

A bit challenging lol, cute graphics, music goes with the graphics.
So some technical notes: Yeah, don't write a ray caster during the jam. Either use a library or write it beforehand, and open source it. I will say I was able to get the game to run smoothly by doubling the raycaster scale and reducing the keyboard movement. For some reason the mouse movement didn't work.
On to the game: I really loved it. I love how the audio randomly plays specific parts and mixes it with other parts. So many feels. I really like the messages being left around so I can walk and read them. Sure it doesn't really make you feel like you're in a full blown game, but that's not what LD is about. I really love the atmosphere etc. I'm not sure, but I like getting stuck in the last room. Not sure if that was supposed to happen, but I kinda liked the message that gave me.
Really fantastic entry!

Nice job guys! I wish that when I was jumping, it would maintain my forward momentum, and there was a pit when I fell off the map where I had to restart the game, but i liked it!
Maybe some new music when the game ends, eh?
Great job!
~josefnpat
Music was great, controls were hard to understand, I seemed to get characters stuck often when they went to get new boxes. Potions did seem to randomly fail, but you should show that they did because I kept clicking around to figure out what happened.
Neat game! I like the how intricate it is! What might be nice is a tutorial, or a level system that slowly introduces new mechanics! E.g. Start with just the cannon, then next level add the heat register, etc. Nice job!
~josefnpat
Good music, graphics were interesting, controls felt slippery from all the bounce. I played through a few levels and thought it overall pretty good.
I liked all the little details like popping bubbles and the glimmer of hope in the dolphins eye. Lot's of polish. It did seem a bit like you were forced to work or lower your score, but surly the dolphin could just go out and start his own company if he wanted more freedom? But art has a price who must pay. Anyway, lovely art!
Loved the graphics and music, I thought was kinda a little hard to move stuff.
As usual, great job! Loved the sfx, dialog, etc. Solid pixel graphics. I had a lot of slowdown in the big room - probably some big optimization issues considering this is a love game - might want to look into that if you make a post compo. Awesome job!
~josefnpat
Overall I could just circle the AI and wait for them to run over their own paint lol. Probably better with 2 players. Hard to tell if AI got any harder. Graphics might been a little plain. Music fit really well. -B
Fun concept, I think shadows under the star might help. Music seemed fitting, graphics were okay. Hard game lol.
Oh no my head exploded! Haha. Text was a little hard to read, might have been easier if it had a backing or something.
I've always liked fishing mini games and this is no different, the fishes turned out pretty cute being so big and fat. Wish there was just a little more like bait options or better rods... Music sets the mood right.
Very nice job. I feel like I should have been able to shoot diagonally and I wish there was a visual queue as to why I could only shoot during the "you have no more mana" song (which is what I'm calling it...)
Very nice game!
~josefnpat
Fun little Jezzball clone <3
11/10, terrific entry! <3
Okay idea, I wish there was a little more to the game visually, sound would probably help out as well. Also you should make esc quit the game lol,
This is the same in a lot of fields - the important thing is to network and meet new people. There are professionals out there who are willing to pay.
Regardless, solid pixels - could have used more gameplay and music. Nice game!
~josefnpat
This was a very fun game! I loved the puzzles. Great game mechanics and learning curve.
~josefnpat
Fantastic entry. Improve the AI to be a littl emore fair and sell this!
I too am getting an error trying to run the jar file: http://pastebin.com/raw/VxmVSTiG
Fantastic entry, loved the music. :D
There really needed to be some music for this piece as the sound effects were pretty jarring. I will say, as different as the controls felt, they did feel spot on. What would have been nice is if the game led you to new mechanics, instead of just bumping into them. Great game!
~josefnpat
Tough game. Graphics were nice, my gunshot was tiny though, didn't feel like I could much damage...
Fantastic entry. If this game had music, it would be a real winner!
Hit boxes and controls made the game difficult to play. I liked the art style, though!
gehehehehe~ I have capslock disabled so I softlocked the game! Luckily it's no problem to toggle capslock with GNOME Tweak Tool, but perhaps it would be wise to switch that to a different key, or allow enter to pass through any of the dialog?
Otherwise, a cute little game, I enjoyed it. gehehehe~
A very interesting little thing you made. :)
Game looks nice but I couldn't really figure out what to do..
Awesome little game! I liked how it had several endings~ The graphics and audio were nice too, though that walk cycle was awkward :P
Interesting world builder. I felt like the black holes and antimatter were a bit relentless, especially at the beginning where you couldn't really afford to deal with them. It would have been nice to also be able to repair the empty space that the black holes create.
Pretty fun game, very pretty! I couldn't quite figure out how to destroy a faction though~
YOU DONE GOOD KID
Thanks! Yeah, we plan to patch it today to fix a couple bugs we ended up finding.
Thanks for the feedback so far everyone!
Yes, I agree, sfx would have really helped a lot. We totally ran out of time before we could implement some of the finer polish for the game that we've had in past games. We are currently toying with different mechanics and improving the code in various ways to give us a lot more flexibility with the engine in the future.
The whole scene is actually 3D despite how it looks. the bullets are all just billboards and the player models are full 3D objects. They were modeled with fairly realistic proportions (if you check out any of @holo's work on Twitter, you'll note he's pretty good at modeling that sort of thing) so it ended up being difficult to see any of the detail in the models. In the future, we will probably have moe stylized models that better show off their features, and more interesting shaders and lighting too.
In the current build of the game, we have dodging remove one of your shields. This totally sucks! But I feel like if we remove it, that might change the game abit too much to qualify in LD, so we left that in. In a futurre release, movement speed may be increased and dodging will have no penalty unless you take a hit while dodging (same as how shielding only decreases when it takes a bullet).
I have been trying to get to everyone's games who have rated ours, so if you leave a comment, I'll play your game!
Magnet power not being capped makes the game basically impossible to play :(
Neat game :)
Pretty silly entry :) Now I know of all the cool new things I need to buy so I can be this awesome! *dabs*
The dark purple bar on the far right was really hard to see, maybe move it to the left and label both bars?
Fun game! I kicked my room mate's ass :D
Player's hitbox seemed too big. Otherwise, fun little shooter :)
Link not found~
Nice game, the graphics were very fitting. The controls were kind of difficult for me to use as someone who plays left handed, so perhaps considering left handed controls in the future would be nice :) Also I noticed some areas where you weren't clamping numbers so the enemy died with -3 hp or my hp bar went negative~ you can use math.max(0, number) to clamp your value to 0 :D
Great shmup! I liked the graphics and audio, controls felt solid. :)
Very fun and interesting game. I kind of wish there was animations for tirning the wires as I kept getting confused which way I was turning a block.
Decent little game. :)
Cute little game~
Fantastic game! Very polished and fun to play. If you guys don't win, I will be very surprised.
Congrats on your first game! It's a nice little platformer with some solid mechanics. My only real feedback is that the controls feel a bit too floaty, I ended up falling off of cliffs more than I felt that I should have. Otherwise, great entry! :)
I don't quite think I understand what is going on D:
Nice game! I think it could be a bit better if the double jump didn't happen automatically (I had a lot of false deaths because of this) and if there was a more obvious screen transition between layers. :)
Neat game!
kek
I didn't know what to expect going into this one, but I am pleasantly surprised. The game played well, had various interesting mechanics, was goofy, and best of all, it used LOVE! Great entry. :)
Very solid entry with an interesting story, nice graphics, cute monster girls, and husband-seducing thoraxes (thorii? i don't know much about spiders). Great job!

This game made me angry, but on the merits of the game itself, it's pretty cool. Just not my style. :)
This comment intentionally left blank.
With another hour you could have added the line clears? :D
Excellent game, quite pretty too. :)
Neat concept :D I also liked the perspective trickery you pulled, very cool. I found the 1 second combo killer to be a bit too fast and I couldn't get more than 3x or 4x combo before it reset.
Absolutely excellent entry! The hitboxes on the hex map were a bit difficult at times but otherwise the game was quite fun to play and the story was amusing. :)
Winning strategy: pacifism. I doubled my score by just avoiding the other planets and letting them duke it out for themselves. Might need a bit of balancing to make it more worth while to actually play, haha. Otherwise, fun, cute game.
Neat!
I am bad at tower defense. HOWEVER! Excellent entry! <3
Excellent game, really fun to play. :)
Cute concept. I think I would prefer to be able to just control the curor with WASD/Arrows instead of the dash mechanic though. Cheers!
Good first jam game, congrats on finishing it. :D
A decent entry but I found the game a bit confusing where I had to play the same levels twice in a row each time. Wall jumping is also a bit buggy.
Quite a fun game! I think some improvements that would be easy to implement are:
1) Rearrange the UI so that all the usable pieces are in one place instead of all over the screen, that way they are easier to see all at once
2) Slow the timer down a bit, I think this game would still be just as fun even if it were a bit more casual and gave the player more time to think
I don't quite understand what is happening in this game. :(
Cat's out of the bag... and onto the roof! 10/10!
Not bad for your first LD game. Next time you shoudl remove Unreal's default assets so that your download is much smaller. :)
It hurt my brain. I think one major thing you could do to improve playability would be to add a guide to show you where your block will land. Possibly make the shadows go straight down?
This game ended up exceeding my expectations; quite a fun little platformer with some goofiness to it. My criticism would be that the controls felt a bit too floaty and difficult to use. The game also hard crashed on me, heh.
Really silly concept, well executed. Great job!
Absolutely excellent game! Lots of attention to detail such as the reflections, the spinning chairs and moving plants, etc. Great voice acting and whatnot as well. Top notch. :)
Nice little game :) My only real criticism would be that each new crew member should be a different colour so it is more obvious that you sacrificed someone instead ofjust starting a new life with the same person a la Mario.
Nice game idea. I felt the controls were a bit clunky and slowed me down. A major improvement woudl be being able to click elsewhere and have the current menu go away instead of needing to hit Esc first.
frame-perfect input for moving diagonal made playing nearly impossible. There is also no real way to determine which squares are good or bad so it is purely random, just throwing units at the board and hoping you find a path. Neat concept for sure, but could use some more thinking.
simple idea, excellently executed. great job as always!
excellent entry you guys put together. :)
Very interesting little dungeon crawler. I had a few issues though:
* I couldn't figure out how to use the chests. I stuck my hand in, it bit me, and then I wasn't able to take anything out of them? * The item menu was too far away so when I wanted to grab a grenade, I had to walk about a foot towards the menu to pick it up which caused a lot of problems during combat!
I was very glad that you had the click-turn camera, kudos for that! The 3D logo at the beginning also grabbed my attention as a nice little touch of detail. :)
top kek
I didn't really understand this game very well. :\
Very interesting concept, but the implementation a bit buggy. One specific thing I would reocmmend for next time is to lower the camera. There were several times where I had to trust that there was ground below me as I could not see.
High production value as always~
Interesting little game. I managed to confuse it though and I got soft locked~
No worries mate, that happens to all of us. :)
fun little game, interesting concept, the controls were very frustrating to use. Please not, some players are left handed so make sure to map *both* shift keys to sprint, and use a better key than P for such a critical mechanic.
Pretty fun little game. Please add a volume control next time! ;)
Interesting concept, but I found the "speed up" voice over and the auto braking to be rather frustrating. I think instead of auto braking, having obstacles on the course would have been more interesting, and isntead of being badgered, require you to be going 30mph+ to be able to move the puzzle blocks.
Thanks for your input! We were trying to mimic the input scheme from Monkey Ball but we were having trouble with it and had to leave it to spend our time on other things. :(
DO non-English keyboards have weird arrow keys? Both arrows and WASD should work to control the ball. Additionally, the game supports XInput devices such as an Xbox controller.
Thanks for the compliment, I didn't think people would like my goofy voice clips much o///o <3
@euske Every level has at least two exits! We ran out of time and couldn't add in our second genre content :(
Thanks for playing! <3
@travis-spuller thanks for playing! The camera gave us a lot of trouble and we had to just call it "good enough" to finish the game. If we had more time we would have spent more time onthe camera, controls, and adding particles and more sfx. While there is no skybox, there is a day-night cycle so there is at least some atmosphere to look at~ :)
Absolutely stellar game. My only complaint is that the player moves a touch too slow so it's difficult to dodge baddies if you make a typo and need extra distance. Otherwise, absolutely wonderful entry. Great job!
Oh, so I'm just an idiot. :)
This was a very clever game and I am happy I played it. Great job! My only criticism would be to remove the drawing timer and add more brush sizes.
Very cool game! Could have used some music but otherwise very solid entry. Easy to understand mechanics, theme executed perfectly. Great job!
Fun concept, executed fairly well. Additional mechanics such as lines decreasing would have added for sure. Good entry :)
Clever puzzle game, polished release. Good job!
Very clever game. Very cute, great execution! The love interest ascii art was so cute :) <3 <3 <3
I'm going to agree with the posters above. Very cool concept but the UI made it difficult to really know what I was doing, and bricking entire lines felt a bit unreasonable.
Pretty silly game~ The music definitely added to the humour, I wish the graphics were a bit prettier. All around good entry!
I think the game would be a lot more fun without the time limit, but the concept is really cool. :)
Very amusing idea, pretty well executed. Good job!
Very solid entry. Great job :)
There is a severe lack of feedback that left me unsure if my actions did anything. I didn't know that I had planted a seed until I realized my number of seeds went down, some particles and a little sprout would have been nice. The D-pad input was also off, on my Xbobx One controller, I had to use D-Down to move back left.
Otherwise, neat little title.
This game was really silly. The mechanics were clear and simple. I'm impressed (and worried) that you make this in lisp. Good job! :)
Timing windows could definitely be widened a bit, but still a neat concept. I don't really understand where the turn-based came in to play though :(
It's always interesting to see how games were envisioned, then chopped down to meet the time constraints, haha. Our game had to drop the collectables and "story" to meet the deadline, heh.
Very well executed and polished game, even has a leaderboard! I think this game could have used controller support too. One of my favourites so far!
Interesting idea but I think the execution could have been better.
Very solid entry. Super clever concept that was executed very well. If you polished and expanded this game, I think it would definitely be worth being sold. :) Great job!
hilarious and fun little game. good job :D
This game is absolutely hilarious! Really clever idea. I have a few gripes however:
1) The mouse sensitivity is way too high and I found it nearly impossible to aim 2) The ball rolled around too much instead of staying put. 3) No gamepad support
If these three things were addressed, this game would definitely be a top-tier entry. Great job nonetheless!
Really well executed. :)
Very cool concept.
I didn't really understand what I was supposed to be doing. Having the game reset every 30 seconds for no apparent reason left me feeling a bit empty. Sorry :(
