Nice one. Great effects! I got down below but ran out of torches
Very hard, but fun once you get the hang of it
Pretty cool, although on 50/50 and especially hard difficulty exploring the map is pointless because the more you explore the more chance bad stuff will happen.
Interesting game, the characters reminds me of a flea. The background colours and platforms blended into each other a lot though
Nice take on the theme. Not sure what that thing was though, maybe aliens.
Nice execution. Didn't take me long to learn to play at all. Only thing I noticed was because of the nature of the game, you already can usually tell what is going to happen. Then it's a little bit slow having to watch it actually happen, maybe it would have been a good idea to make the blasting away of 'fears' super fast? Good stuff.
Very strange
Great style and graphics. I was surprised that I couldn't put minerals in at point blank though
That was cool, and strange. Was I supposed to be able to double jump by using both the up arrow and W key? I ended up jumping out into this huge open area, then I found some weird blocks without black edges, then I found the treasure. I won! Yuss
I wonder what the guy in the boat thought when I burst out of the water and flew into SPACE.
That was fun, I even kept playing after I won to get all the upgrades.
I like the voices and the mood. I was hoping there would be more patients, "Papers, Please" style.
Interesting concept. I would have the 'dark objects' flying at you disappear when they hit the forcefield otherwise it looks like they're getting through. Or maybe have some of them disappear and only one or two get through like on those germs vs soap ads haha.
Clean it! That boss++, couldn't beat it
Interesting game, the tooltips at the start were a little buggy for me though.
Woah that ending when I rammed the boat. Was not expecting that haha.
Nice little game. The clicking though oh the clicking!
That was really solid. I enjoyed it, although losing all your fragments in 1 hit was a bit harsh
Was quite glitchy for me
Got stuck on the first real puzzle haha.
Just one question, why is that dude shirtless?
Damn that rabbit indeed!
Nice little game, cool concept for sure.
Darn, it would have been nice to be able to fight your way out of there and feel the determination pay off. But I guess then it wouldn't be "Overwhelmed" huh. Anyways nice work felt like a good game and an unsettling mood game.
Loved the Doom style health meter.
AngrySharks, haha. Nice.
Mechanics feel solid. Although many times I hit a big pile of rocks and/or laval that made it impossible to continue. Rocks are a death sentence for sure. Also for some weird reason I kept trying to use the arrow keys left/right in the opposite to your settings. I don't know why but it felt unnatural, probably just preference though.
Not sure what happened but during practice mode, both times I tried, everything on the board disappeared after a little while.
Nice one, great ending!
Nice concept. I was wondering why my stuff was blowing up, then I realised there was stuff other than torpedoes blowing me up. That extra stuff was a little hard to notice.
Nice, loving that classic 'indie' feel. With the mood here.
Love the music, so good.
Pretty good, I wondered what was happening with the jumping and stuff but it was the wall climb mechanics at work. I ended up getting a bug where I got stuck on the spikes under the middle chest and couldn't get out or dig.
Nice one. Took me a while to realise the writing on the walls and floor were actually telling me information. Loved pushing people over, or off of the side of buildings.
An interesting twist on the usual stuff.
@Oye Beto: Where does it freeze? Do you see the temple at all? If you see the temple you need to start walking with A button.
Thanks everyone for the great comments! I still had a lot of big ideas in the works for this, and it was lots of fun working on it even if I didn't get to sleep haha!
Short but sweet. I wracked up the big kills of fishermen and families on vacation. Also I like the art style/sound fx.
Nice game! Loved the atmosphere and music.
Nice work for 48 hours, I know it's hard to get the pixel precise mechanics required for these types of games.
Wow very hard game. Maybe give a little more time before the water arrives?
A little slow for my taste, and it was hard to tell how much control you had over movement. But interesting concept and good theme.
Nice entry, I had a weird bug though where the game over screen came up and I kept playing.
Love that song. Also nice take on a retro style.
Nice graphics and audio, got that retro feel. Took me a couple of attempts to beat it (if you let your rocket fall and then hit jets at the last minute you have a pretty good chance).
Some of my guys were having a disco party on the corpses upstairs. Who's to say who had the better time?
Nice effort, also I like the visuals.
Nice reminds me of the blind Mudokons from Abe's Exodus.
Nice! I got some way along, but my brain is too tired. Then I read it is infinite. On the higher levels it would have been good to have a reset button, especially when I got the first one wrong haha.
Oops I'm so tired I left a normal comment instead of rating.
Nice adaption of the theme. I also liked the exploding effects, so nice.
Intro is really nice animations, nice work. The enemy spawn is impossible to dodge sometimes though.
Interesting concept, was a little hard to figure out what was going on with the swapping though.
Very nice poison mechanics, I liked it.
I love stuff like this!
Really digging the retro sprites here.
I became a billionaire ice tycoon.
Nice art. I like the gun shooting mechanics too, feels nice and solid.
Good stuff, gotta love those beeps'n boops. Also nice take on the theme.
Sadly I did not make it to the point where I chose a person
Cute game. It's a pretty hard game though, because I couldn't tell how many were in each pile but I made it to level 2 at least!
Hey cool, you had a similar idea to me with the arms thing!
Very nice, I got destroyed by monsters but I'm going to give it another go when I'm not falling asleep on my keyboard.
Simple but effective, enjoyed playing it.
Hey this game is great! Simple patter recognition it's not hard to learn once you have your fingers in the right place. At first I thought it was going to be some kind of timed thing and I'd be freaking out and smashing all the wrong buttons. But the mechanics you used for recording score, so good. It let me relax and learn the game.
Interesting, could have been a bit faster paced though. Or gotten faster as the levels progressed.
Nice little entry, left it open by accident and wehn I came back I had $5,000! Gets pretty expensive pretty fast though
A little bit slow paced and I wasn't able to click through the dialogue when I was finished reading it. But nice graphics and story!
First funny/humor game I've seen so far, and it has some nice mechanics.
