I managed to stabilize my population to oscillate between 402 and 403, but I found myself questioning the mechanics for structure placement and ultimate goals.
In the end I found myself spamming mine clicks around the frontier borders of my cave town.
My final score was 570
(I found myself forgetting about money and preoccupied solely with survival by stage 5)
~~~~~~SPOILERS~~~~~~
I played through three times:
The first time I rescued Mark.
The second time I helped Mark up, ran away when he started asking questions, AND assassinated the dictator and got away with it (not sure if this was intended since Mark I found Mark waiting for me).
The third time I unlocked the door to Mark's room but went straight to assassinate the dictator. No Mark at the end.
Thank goodness it's 2014 and not 1984. And also not N.K. for that matter.
The flaming skull on level two pushed me into the ground and I got stuck!
It's good to see a fellow Castlevania fan!
More! More!
The BGM was like Chrono Trigger meets A Nightmare on Elm Street (NES)
First few times I didn't "get" the game and didn't realize I had to press down to swim in the blood because my guy would disappear.
After I figured it out it became a lot more fun, but it should be noted that the screen is too high in FireFox (in Chrome it fit within the boundaries of my window, though).
I'll say this much: you certainly did make me feel Shock, Confusion, Denial, and Anger albeit in perhaps a different order.
I must have messed up 'the jump' on level 4 about 4 entire re-runs before I realized it is impossible to make and quit.
Also, TURN THE BGM DOWN. There needs to be an option for BGM/sounds volume at the very least.
Screen is a bit too tall for 1600x900...
Man, now I crave Ramen...
I want to play as the Green dude!
You must have worked non-stop to make this in 48 hours!
Great job!
1. Deselect All Button
2. Stop ants from moving while camera scrolling
3. Please continue to work on this game!
4. Hi :)
(14 minutes)
I was on a mean streak but then I hit an electron and bounced immediately into tritons.
I wanted to see my score cause I was doing well but I accidentally delayed-reaction left-clicked after I lost =/
In regards to the update:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXukwNQG0uA
Up, C, Down, C, Left, C, Right, C, Hold A + Start
I reached phase 41!
(I opened the inventory menu and went to use the restroom and make a drink)
I can't wait to see this game's NEXT PHASE.
It wouldn't start in Firefox, but it played fine in Chrome.
It's an interesting concept to tinker with, for sure!
This is fun, but a bit laggy (perhaps the enemy generation goes a little overboard as at some point I get an index error in my console and they stop spawning).
It goes without saying, but this did not work on my windows phone =/
You should consider making more levels =)
I'm stuck in the bottom right corner of one screen. The hero is just floating and can't jump out or fall down =/

Boy nukes world...Rainbow Dash loves boy?
I got 100 gold, upgraded my equipment, then went back down and got 97 gold, then accidentally dug into a rock above me by double drilling...
The king still said it was insufficient =(
It became a lot easier once I figured out how to glide along the ceilings ;-)
The knife was kind of a give-away, but it was a pretty cool interactive narrative.
I played normal mode in Firefox and then Hard mode in Chrome. I could see no difference if that is of any help.
Well that was certainly different!
Yay! I escaped!
I made 40 million and I STILL couldn't make it in New York!
OctoKing MK2 is too hard!
Thank you for making a bullet hell shooter!
I lasted 600 seconds once I figured out I could try to group the purple things using re-spawns.
I was killed twice and then all the NPC sprites seemed to stop moving (or they were walking in place at the edges).
Tagline: Mr. Anderson decides to rid his debt by collecting golden Sonic rings from within the sink hole near his house. Will he succeed or will he find out his money mosh pit really is the pits?
Good audio, though I think the BGM could have been tuned down a bit =P
Love the animated eye on that drill =)
OH GOD THE LASER
At some point I found myself TRYING to kill all the fish.
Sorry if that wasn't the game's intended effect...
I spawned in a room full of loot that made the game way too easy (or so I thought).
I found myself avoiding the exit just so that I could explore the first floor as much as I could. I think I had most of it explored...but then I ran out of ammo when a ghost-thingy was assaulting me!

Attack of the Vikings by terryg 2015-12-28T07:35:00
I finally beat this game.
There needs to be a bit more feedback for click and drag as it's not obvious what's going on from the tutorial alone.
I was furious when I almost reached the clouds but missed one shot with a viking who single-handedly chopped my plant back down within seconds. It's a bit brutal with punishment and could be balanced a bit more (understandable with the lack of time and all, though).
I feel like the little pilgrim avatar could have had a bit more pushing power against the viking soldiers to give him more reason to stay on screen.
Family Tree by bwatanabe 2015-12-28T07:13:00
Creepy and awesome!
That ending makes me wonder about the meaning of all this. I mean the uniformed clothing, the photos, and the flying hands seem to make one think "Oh, THAT is what this is about", but then you get to the end and it's like "Wait, why is THIS here?"
Jetpack Every Day by Dietrich Epp 2015-12-28T06:53:00
Score: 55,025 (can definitely do better, though)
I love the power-ups and the game play, but it feels kind of empty without sound. Oh, wait! Just run this in another tab... =)

Eldritch Trance by TheWzzard 2015-12-28T06:37:00
I could only summon up to Ph-ph(?) The Terror
I guess I make a pretty lousy cultist
Sweet game, though!
Golden Rush by juaxix 2015-12-28T06:07:00
I think the controls were a little frustrating at times because of turning momentum and camera angles, but the fish did feel like a fish so good job on that.
It's tough to do a 3D game in a weekend but you've at least done better than others have. I'm curious as to what kind of BGM you might have been thinking of for setting the mood...
Wesh Grow by SamH 2015-12-27T19:04:00
Reminds me of when I first learned to drive stick
Funny little game. Add more levels and a fail condition (perhaps timer or loss of expansions) and I can see this as a money game (especially if you can make it mobile-friendly).
SpaceEx by Tangible Games 2015-12-27T18:52:00
This is a pretty solid entry. I loved the monologues the characters had and the style of the little portraits was a nice touch.
I know you skipped judgment for audio, but I could see this game being a lot more humorous with the right sounds.
Egggs by simon.parzer 2015-12-23T23:11:00
...Was that a dickbutt?
Curse of the Slime Queen by mike.cullingham 2015-12-23T22:45:00
Glad to see a fellow sfxr user
This is a great idea for a puzzle series, but I feel like the attract function could have been used to much more interesting effect with maybe a blue slime or other mechanism for blocking and/or swapping the controlling slime.
BallBall Babbaballoo! by Spencer Alves 2015-12-23T22:25:00
For the HTML5 player I found out that with a gamepad I can make the ball go in reverse by moving with the left directional axis! Unfortunately the velocity is static so eventually the ball's positive velocity will override it and force it to go forward (albeit at a slower pace).
Left (A) didn't seem to do much as the ball clung to the left wall the whole time, but I found it an entertaining concept to only be able to accelerate or move to the other wall.
Cipolletti by psychonull 2015-12-23T05:55:00
Interesting concept! I'd like to see what this could have turned into with more time...
Containment by paste0x78 2015-12-23T05:38:00
It seems that you might be familiar with SCP.
If so then I'm afraid that I'm going to have to keep an eye on [Redacted] so that your entry doesn't cause [Redacted] to occur before we are ready for [Redacted].
At any rate, it's a good thing you didn't include an image of [Redacted]!
However, if nothing I have stated makes any sense to you than I am perhaps mistaken and you are perfectly safe and free to disregard the above. Merry Xmas!
War... by Lapiroxx 2015-12-23T05:22:00
War? What is it good for?
Absolutely Nothing.
I feel like if you had more time this could have turned into something a lot more emotional. It was just a bit too short and a bit too fast paced to really let the gravity of it all sink in and develop.
Holy Cow in a Combine! by Gray Sullivan 2015-12-23T05:12:00
I got to 30 points after a few tries but never really saw any hay bales.
These kind of games remind me of updated versions of the old Tiger Electronics hand-helds.
Captain Ninjabeard by GhostBomb 2015-12-23T05:05:00
63 points
Pretty good stuff! I found a good strategy for starting is to kind of do short burst fires to hover in the center.
A weekend game dev jam just isn't long enough for these projects as I can totally imagine more amazing ideas you might have implemented provided more time and rest =)
Jared and the Corn Nuts by cameronpenner 2015-12-23T04:53:00
27 points, but then I fell right between those mattresses!
I think everyone has (or is) a 'Jared' in their life at some point, so good job sharing this quasi-relatable experience!
Growvolution by pi_pi3 2015-12-23T04:39:00
I finally got enough power to take on a human and right before I got to eat him it looks like the client closed and the console said something along the lines of 'paused. press enter to continue' then shut down on me =(
I think it's a cute game, but the food curve for 'leveling' turns it into a music-less grind (and there aren't nearly enough deer to satisfy my dino's taste for flesh). I'm also disappointed I never got to kill and eat my stray human prey.
Red Concert by tantumgames 2015-12-23T02:29:00
This game has potential. I'd be interested in seeing it advanced further with more of your ideas and plot implemented. Good work!
TreePlanting Simulator by Cursed Embassy 2015-12-17T04:58:00
The whole experience is like the ending credits to a hard day and I'm glad you had the balls to go 3D. Can't wait for the sequel: Plant Another Tree
Wild West Farm Shooter by CAT_IN_THE_DARK_WOOD 2015-12-17T04:35:00
I want to give this entry high ratings across the board, but I've only watched the video and haven't played it. I'll try to convince a friend or coworker to give it a shot (bang!), though.
Snake Scape by mockthebear 2015-12-15T23:35:00
Arghh! That one level where you are forced to turn rapidly to fill each and every square is torture! I'd like to come back to it at some point but I really don't want to replay all of the former levels...
I like the countdown blocks, but I hate that I can't see which level I am on for a sanity check. A password system for easy mode would be nice and who ever can complete this on hard mode deserves a trophy for "most patient person ever".
Octov by Taldius 2015-12-15T23:11:00
Sweet game! I will have to replay this to see the paths I didn't take.
Grow Big and Go Home by MikeTsunami 2015-12-15T17:45:00
Fun game but was there music? I couldn't hear anything...(Fire Fox)
Nepeta Cataria by TeamOliphants 2015-12-15T07:35:00
Next time I go to the club I am totally going to rock blinder shades and a red bow tie
765, but I forgot about the x list...
The Crazy Ball by victorfisac 2015-12-15T03:00:00
Unfinished lines (1 click only) seem to affect the physics of the ball.
I was glad you only put 8 worlds in otherwise I might have been stuck playing all night long =D
