I like the music and fire effects
FPS in 48 hours is quite a feat. It plays for me when I run from the jar (Win7 i5 processor). Great attempt!
so fun! A very crisp well-made game
cool unit building, I liked the use of theme too :)
I liked it, fun experience!
so cool, loved the art and music!
hard, but fun game :) Pretty unique!
Very cool experience, loved the motion and sound. Awesome job!
I liked the use of story, that was a cool experience
Very fun :) I love the burst particles and gameplay
Cool idea, I like the gradual fades of the characters as they moved. Really feels like an LCD game. Nice job :)
Solid story, this was a nice change of pace compared to a lot of actiony entries. Nice job!
This was fun, it felt 'crisp', very responsive
nice sound effects :)
This was fun, pretty unique :)
I liked the physics a lot, was glad you could pick up the buildings.
Nice art! I like the clean style
nice shake and art design
Loved it! Will be playing it frequently I think. great audio and sprites
Winner! Great music, animation and lightning effect :)
Ever wanted to kick a tree in the balls? Now you can! Fun game :)
Punch the goat, win the game! Works great for me :)
nice idea, i liked the audio (good positioning)
Great sounds and fast responding controls!
Bla! Very cool art, nice work
Cute, I liked the music :)
Pretty cool :) I really like the audio for the player's ship approaching. Fun gameplay too!
cool game, dig the art and sound effects. I also like the queued minion system. Nice work!
I liked the sprites a bunch, nice job with the game!
That was a cool experience, nice job!
Not bad, kind of a cool concept
i liked the art, and the goat :)
Fantastic art, really cool style. Nice!
Love point and clicks, you did a solid job with this :)
awesome idea, love the smoke effects and art style in general, nice job!
I liked the grabbing spots and overall gameplay. Speed didn't bother me much, it felt like it was more precise, at least to me. Nice job!
like the grain and the goat :)
You really nailed the game&watch look and sound. Fantastic job :)
Awesome game, great character motion, music and art style. So fun! :)
Great background music! I enjoyed the game, nice work
Pretty unique feel, I like it. Great music too, reminds me of a group called Royksopp, especially this track :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QW63jAfT24 Great job!
Pretty cool puzzle game, really digging the reduction logic, nice job! Audio was pretty fun too :)
great art and music :) Really fun game, nice job!
Fantastic, charge that kitty up!
Awesome! Giving a bonus to audio simply for having the option of a music-less build (music worked well anyway, but that was a cool option). I really liked the time mechanic too
fun!
Pretty cool, I really liked the sound effects and text!
very fun! I really liked the art and dragon's motion. Definitely a hard game, but it does what it has to do.
Haha awesome, great game!
Thanks for entering! This was fun, I liked the atmosphere and are quite a bit. Nice job, look forward to seeing more :)
very cute graphics, really liked the parallax :)
Nice to see a deeper strategy game :)
Super fun, very crisp gameplay!
Pretty cool, I like the fire effects and intro dialogue :) Solid game
This was the best Texas simulator I've ever played
very cool, great art and music design!
Cute, I like the game's size, it's great!
Very cool game (woo pun titles!), nice audio :)
Very fun! Love the art style
This was awesome, played for a while :) Great music loop and physics!
unique platforming mechanic
Nice! Atonal music and a weird concept. A+!
a hardy, but a goody. Challenge is always good, nice work!
Great job, excellent mood and sound, seriously impacting.
Something about his shirt being green is awesome to me, such a contrast to the theme. Nice work, cool music
Super cool, love that the darkness is a function of gameplay. Great art!
Nice music and art :) Very cute game
Great! Although I wish I could eat the fridge :( Fun style, I liked the bright colors
Very fun, love the art and music :)
pretty interesting. I liked the mood, pretty dark :)
Thanks all! I made some tweaks prior to submission deadline to make things a bit easier. Added a little more audio too. Thanks for playing!
Interesting about no damage, will have to investigate. How many different ones did you click before your retribution was activated? Thanks for the feedback!
I had plans to tune a difficulty curve, but that was pushed back pretty early. Is it allowable to update things like that once this is in judging? I wouldn't think so, but I'm really not sure.
Glad to hear it! I didn't want to overburden the experience with too much instruction.
Thanks for the compliments folks :)
look out!
Thanks for all the support guys and gals, this was a fun thing to work on. It's nice that oddities are treated so nicely :)
Yeah I agree that the difficulty is pretty flat. Would be happy to put a curve in there to up the challenge, but I'm pretty sure that's a no-no. Will consider it for a future update.
Good point about the platforms. Will change to web only. I misunderstood the required field marked as windows.
The game doesn't have a difficulty arc yet, will come after the compo.
There could be more in the game for sure, right now it's a small experience, but I can see it grow into more, which is exciting :)
Wow, thanks all! You guys rock :)
It emphasizes the connections being made within the echo chamber
And again, thanks so much for the kindness all! If it was allowable, I would be adding a bit to make it grade up in difficulty and some other modes. I'm very happy that you all have enjoyed it thus far :)
It's still pretty linear, only had 8 hours total to design, build and compose. I have plans to add some more content (difficulty curve, different modes and some AI changes) after the compo is all over. I don't want to change things during judging.
The arrangement advantage is in where you activate them. One thing I wanted to add was having the critical text fly in from certain way points where you might set up a blockade using your media allies.
@EatenAlive3 Thanks for the feedback, I do appreciate that you played it even though it wasn't your cup of tea. I enjoyed your game too, great audio!
haha, fantastic score. I'm looking forward to making some changes to the difficulty and general progression of the game. Thanks for playing!
Game!
Thanks so much! I really liked yours too
Agreed. I have plans to add a difficulty curve and more-refined strategy elements. Had 8 hours total to work with, so things got minimized super fast. Thanks for playing, I dug santa's use of the boomstick quite a bit as well.
That's a good point, the thickness represented the connection strength , originally it was going to pulse like a heart beat pumping words like blood back to the chamber, but yeah, 8 hour build time turned that into trippy laser lines ;) The more ya know!
Wow, thanks all, what a great series of comments to wake up to. I really appreciate it!
Fair enough! I do appreciate that you played it, thanks!
Thanks again folks! @AnnaGavaldaKedavra, yes that is clear. I agree with you. I will be making some pretty solid updates to this after the competition with emphasis on difficulty and strategy. Thanks for playing!
@gameXcore to last more than one assault, you must have had some idea of what you were doing ;) Thanks for playing, sorry about your untimely death :(
no worries, glad you played it!
Tobias, thank you for taking the time to write that! Unfortunately or fortunately in the eyes of the game, there was no difficulty change or challenge increase. Only had 8 hours to build, spray was scrapped early. In my opinion, the villain element comes out during gameplay, it's definitely abstract which I like. I appreciate that you played it, thanks!
I might put up a post build, feel conflicted about it since the experience would be pretty different.
Pixel, not harsh at all! I appreciate that you took the time to play and write that. I agree that it is pretty limited and, if not before judging ends, I have plans for making this into a more complete experience. I didn't have much time to do more than I did unfortunately.
Just posted a post mortem! :) Thanks for playing this folks, it really means a lot to me. I plan on expanding it in meaningful ways, will update when that starts.
@donmilham Thanks for playing and commenting :) I know it's a weird one, but the fact that you checked it out is what is important :)
Fair enough :) Right now there is no increase in difficulty, unfortunately. Will be adding more after the competition ends, thank you for playing and for commenting!
Thank you thank you thank you for all the comments everyone. You're really making this first LD a great experience :D
@rinaka: I agree a bit with you that this experience might not need a difficulty curve. My goal for the update is to stick with this theme but explore some other facets of it in a way that shows someone's journey and not just an outcome like this experience.
@Birchmoutain: That's a good point about art style. I'll keep it in mind in the next build. Thanks so much for the feedback:)
Some might consider that success given the context :)
Gjarble,
Thank you for the thoughtful comment! You have a good point about strategy and how one-sided the game gets, I agree with that. Regarding the post-compo version, I thought about throwing together my planned-for difficulty and strategy fixes, but while I was working through those, I had an idea for a better overall experience with a thoughtful gameplay arc and something that feels more organic rather than a one-shot playthrough. I'm planning on building onto it over the course of 2013. It should be cool, I'm excited for it :)
Thanks again for playing folks! Hoping there will be some interest in the final product.

This is the best thing I have played so far, holy crap! Spot on with everything.
I approached with caution, because animals smaller than my foot startle me. Luckily, I found respite on the pillow and was pleased with their union. Thank you for making this game, it cured me and I can go to zoos now. The fact that it was fun, vibrant with a great soundtrack come secondary.
