Very innovative and unique playing as a slime with good level design overall few bugs I do not get how I died by jumping at the top of the screen. I really had fun playing it.

Never got to play it.
Great monsters and good use of the music to create the sense of urgency, the fonts looked great, the timer was helpful I wish it could had some stun mechanic for more interaction, overall it played well.

I couldn't get past the horrid graphics, sry. I tried but the game looks too bland and colorless for my taste. Also that font looks pretty boring.
The story was ok-ish but not compelling enough to get past the horrid animations...

I really liked this one. Why is space not listed in the list of controls? It took me a while to figure this out.

It looks nice for a little game with pixel art :)
You should have added some "help" page for how to play.
I couldn't figure out what the buttons above "end turn" do.
The music is nice and it fits the gameplay.

The concept is good but the music was soooo annoying i couldn;t bare it for more than 3 min. The controls are a bit clunky, moving one leg at a time is tiresome work. I wish all the legs were bound to keys so i can quickly select the leg i want to move or have a key that tabs through the legs. Also controling the movement of a leg with the mouse and clicking to set down would have been much better. The game would have been a lot smoother with 3 controls: Space - tab between legs; mouse - move leg; LMB - set leg down.
The gameplay would haave been more fun if you used the colors of the tiles in some way, maybe like the game Twister.
You get top points for innovation but for the love of all things holy, change the music, it's distorting my brain patterns :).
The ending was not forced had great atmosphere and the twist ending explained why he has those attacks.
A great improvement would be the subtle text that appear on the lower third "beg for mercy" is ok but you could give hints of real dialog used by the twist ending hinting that he may have some pauses of his "health potion" returning back home.
Overall it was a great play-though no bugs good atmosphere and hope you will evolve furtherer in creating more games.

"Full stars" the game is really fun to play my only problem is that lag but I wish saints row 4 had this mini game.

Really funny, both the game and the sounds (especially the sounds :))
I bet you had a lot of fun making it.
Good job.

Interesting story and graphics and the music fits in.
You still got some bugs with the HP bar, or am I invincible :)) ?
Funny animations :)

really nice
Nice game and minesweeper ideea . Though it would have been great to be able locate the pits easier. Dunno if it's a feature or not, but its nice that the monster respawns the blue dots remain and you help explore the safe paths
A very good brawler game. Very nicely polished, good gfx, fx, sound and music. The controls were not the ones mentioned in the tutorial screen so i had to literally press evey key on my keyboard until i found them.
Look, most people that play games here DONT have a controller and expect the game to run just fine with the keyboard and mouse. This contest is for PC games, NOT console games. It's nice that you have controller support but you sould make the controls just as fun to use on the keyboard.
Good job for making a nice game that supports local multiplayer as well.
It is a nice twist on the old arcade vertical shooters but very poorly executed. The concept is sound but the control is very poor, the monsters have no special attacks (or i couldn't find one), there is no tutorial and nothing explaining the game controls. The monsters only have a poor autoattack and it feels like they do no considerable damage to the enemy.
I wish the controls were explained, monsters had more complex attacks and the AI wouldn't dodge so well. The music is ok, but there are no sfx.
A good attempt but it needs a lot of polish to be playable.

I really liked the artwork here
Really good game first time I played it and got bad ending but it was a good playthough I'm hopping for a sequel.

The graphics are cute, and the gameply is fun, but too short. Just when i was starting to have a bit of fun eating... ermm... making frends, the game ended. :(
Cute pac-man clone but the gameplay get really old really fast. If u had some other game mechanic besides eating everything to give the game some depth and also longer play sessions it could be something fun.
Also when u click to play again the map is empty, has no obstacles and all the "friends" are spawned at the top right corner. I imagine this is a bug.

The graphics is good, the sound is very annoying and the controls are very bad. When i try "WSAD" on firefox all i get is word search at the bottom of the page and the directional controls get stuck when i use the arrow keys. Have u even tested it on firefox?
Seems like a good concept but it needs a lot of work. The player needs a clear goal and clear game mechanics. Is it an arena game? Is it a hack n slash RPG? Are there any other mutations unlocked later on? The game doesn't explain anything.
I'm sorry but i cannot rate this. The only thing i could rate is graphics because that seems nice.
Tip: Before working on graphics and bells and whistles, make sure you have a solid game mechanic. Good luck next time.
Indeed, impressive game. I like the minecraft style.
And funny intro :)
Hmmm ... nice that you took time to make one.
A small tutorial scene would have been great. At least to explain the elements of the game.
GG guys!

The only thing i can say about this game is i like the graphics. I'm a sucker for 8 bit gfx, what can i say. I also love tug-of-war strategy games. I wish i could play it, but there is a massive black rectangle where the units are supposed to be. Also i get some random huge black rectangles coming from the left side (possibly missing sprites).
As such, the game is unplayable. I did give u good ratings for gfx and theme tho :)
If you want a good reference on how a decent tug of war strategy feels like try "Warlords: Call to Arms" on Kongregate (flash game).
I wish you best of luck.

The game looks nice but the controls are horribly unresponsive and very unintuitive. I don't think a game like this should have inertia. You are an awesome space monster after all, you should be able to maneuver better in space. After missing the 10th asteroid i quit.
Very bad control system. I think a mouse directional control with a cursor would have been much better for this genre.
Try to fix the control sys.

haha, fun game. Liked the ducks :D .
The game will not run! I have downloaded the exe and i get an error message telling me it is missing data files. I went back to your dl link and the data is a folder, not a file.
PRO TIP: put all your game files and the exe in ONE archive and post that on a download link.
Either that or post the game on gamejolt, like we did. Gamejolt is pro.
Too bad, seemed like a nice game from the screens...

A really fine text adventure! One of the best i have played in a long time. Very well written drama with a bit of dark humor strewn in there, fine variety of choices and above all very vivid and visceral disembodiment descriptions. The writer is very good.
You made nice character art but you went cheap with the backgrounds. To be honest they look like blurred out pictures and don't go with the character art at all. The text had some typos and orthographic errors here and there but the grammar and literature was spot on. I actually had to look up some words in the dictionary :).
I enjoyed it a lot and i actually played it twice to see different outcomes of dialogues. I LMAO at "hashtag eternal damnation" :D

A very artistic yet sad game. I wish there was a way to save the little ones, but i suppose, just like life, bad things happen even if you don;t want them to. I really like the art style and the mood of the game, but i really don't see how it fits the theme of LD33. I can't see the Mammoth as a monster because she was just trying to protect her young ones. The hunters are not monsters either as they are trying to feed their families...
A very good entry and a deep philosophical quandry. Reminds me of the game "ImorTall" on Kongregate.
Yup, the art is indeed impressive :)
And the gameplay is smooth.
For a simple game, that's a good job.

Funny little game.
I like the animations.
As for improvement, maybe give more speed to player.

For once the game title says it all: this game is BULLSHIT. The metaphore hit me after i got killed the 10th time by the super fast bull on steroids that cannot be seen, cannot be stopped cannot be played and i exclaimed it out loud. Definitely bullshit. Good title though :)

The text was hard to read and the overall dungeon was empty.
I liked the shaders and the textures used. The atmosphere was spot on good enemies that hunt you down. Keep working on great projects like this one.

Good: Not your average Mario Clone
Bad: I hope the elevator is fixed, the princes needs 10 showers every minute, why the Boss lives in a rundown castle.

We are glad you like our game :)
And tnx for all this feedback.
As a side note, we added a few critical bug-fixes, as the jam rules allows us within 48h.
They are mentioned in the description.
Of course there are many other bugs, but they are good at hiding and hard to catch :))

Morco (Los Pixelados team)
Thank you all for the comments and feedback.
Much appreciated :)

That scream ... oh man ...
Nice mood you have created here :)
Probably some sounds for the transformation along with the smoke would have been great.
Cheers,
Morco (Los Pixelados team)
P.S.
why did you remove the mood category ?
I like the ground hit shake.
And the music really fits in with the gameplay.
Tho it gets a bit dizzy at high speed.
The whole game feels pretty smooth :)

This game could be fun, but it's not. The jump function is useless because the character jumps too far, even off the screen, the attack function works well but there is no visual feedback that the enemy gets hit. There is no visual feedback when the pirates steal treasure, if that is what they are doing.
There are 4 characters but they all have the same attacks. Each character should have had a different type of attack for variety.
A good effort but needs more stuff to make it an enjoyable game.
There is no sound.
Awesome as always. And even more content than last time.
The sounds are so funny.
GG quill18 :)
