I just spent 15 minutes of my life jumping around and rotating a bunch of wooden blocks to try and activate the alarm because the room was on fire. Why the dumb snowman couldn't just install a smoke detector like a sensible homeowner is beyond me, but I'm glad I played this game anyway.
This is really hilarious.
The controls in this game are really funky. I feel like if the players had momentum, it'd be a bit easier to control.
Oh man this game is riveting
I LOVED that lcd idea. Man this brings me back to those really cheap handheld game, but I am no good at this one :P
Really liked this game. Beauty in simplicity. I can confirm the first link works properly on OS X10.10
There doesn't seem to be any real cohesion to this game... It's really just a matching game, but the core mechanic is hidden behind a bunch of weird and completely irrelevant stuff. The audio is nice, but is completely disconnected from the actual game mechanic, and is confusing because of that. The fact that it doesn't matter where you place your midi blip within the correct quadrant is confusing in the face of visual and auditory cues to the contrary (the line scanning across the image and the row and column lighting up when it's activated). It seems like there's just a lot of arbitrary and largely meaningless information (what do the words "afterlife", "Testla", "Disco", "Party", or "Buds" have to do with anything in the game?) added on top of what's actually a really simple matching game. The audio is really solid, and it's pleasant to listen to, and the game mechanic is fun enough once you figure out what it is... but it's just too much of a clusterfuck to really enjoy.
This game is really boring. Some rounds are impossible to win, the controls are too finicky, and it takes too long to get to the next stage after pong. Also, the graphics of the pieces sliding to the edges of the screen are extremely buggy. For only 10 hours of work, though, it's not bad.
The scrolling action is a bit jerky, but I do like how you bent the theme.
This was a super cool game!
I don't know what's happening or how I'm supposed help. Is this league of legends?
I like that the background color changes to correspond with the amount of each primary color you've gathered, although it took me a minute to even figure out that I was supposed to be walking over the colored tiles, it's not particularly intuitive. It's very simple, but it's a fun little game, which is enough.
I can't figure anything out but that's probably just because I'm an idiot. Will rate when I have more patience.
I really liked this game!
There's an unlabeled (volume?) slider on the main menu, and the game is made unplayable in windowed mode because the mouse isn't constrained to the window. Also, the controls as specified in the description don't do anything, and I don't see how this fits the theme in any way.
The controls can be a bit unwieldy and the graphics aren't very intuitive, but the mechanic is simple and well enough explained, so it's not a big deal. It's not very polished, but it's a fun(ny) challenge anyway. What can I say, running around stealing heads is silly and addicting.
This could be cool and funny, if there were more to it than just the core mechanic. Any amount of variation (different enemy types/behaviours, different ways to combat them, etc.) would have made this fun. As it is, there's just nothing really to it.
Everything is glitchy and most of the assets look like placeholders, but somehow it's really engaging. Not often I get to play a game about helping people solve their problems. Also, "Press 'F' to destroy ALL THE TREES". This game is just inexplicably charming.
The collision detection is broken and the movement controls are frustratingly bad. There doesn't appear to be any particular goal to this game. But the art is good.
This is a really solid and polished game! It would be nice to control your jump height, and the later levels become impossible if you've died too many times, and I'm miffed that it's not cross-platform, but those are the only complaints I could come up with. The game mechanic is fun and intuitive, the graphics are minimalistic but still pretty, and it was a captivating experience throughout. I do wish the campaign were a bit longer of course, but with a jam game it seems it can't be helped. If you showed me this out of context, I'd never guess it was a jam game. All told, this is easily my favorite of all the LD31 entries I've played so far.
The core game mechanic for this is hard to pick up, frustrating, and seemingly very random. With the enemies seemingly impossibly to kill and nearly impossible to avoid, it quickly becomes almost solely about avoidance and not about fighting back. The art style is really promising and it seems like there's an engaging mood and narrative under the surface wanting to break free, but the basic mechanics get in the way and stop it from surfacing.
I've gotta admit, this game is really pretty but I have NO idea what's going on, even after reading the instructions.
You're right, the movement is framerate-dependent. We've since fixed this after the jam, but it's too big of a patch to be able to justifiably update the download links.
To get this working on OS X after unzipping, you need to run something like:
chmod +x "Downloads/Super Shift-Shaper (OSXx86)/SuperShiftShaper.app/Contents/MacOS/SuperShiftShaper"
To get the execute bit set on the binary of the app.
This game is super difficult and I am not totally sure how to get past any circle, and I don't know if its just too hard for me or if I am not doing it right.
Note to OP and others:

This is the coolest game I have seen so far. Good work!
This is the coolest game I have seen so far. Good work! Also I want to point out OP and others that the Windows link works fine on OS X, and I'd imagine any other OS that has a java runtime environment.
