I played with music helmet and that was really so good music!
I loved the mood and really enjoyed playing it, I would really have loved some lights effects, to be in the dark and only see in the direction of the mouse for exemple!
Good job anyway =)
The overall game and mood are absolutely awesome. You combined it with humor, and the "whoooo" sound could just become a meme in the LD community. Everything is smooth, and well-fitted. One of the greatest game I've seen so far. Thanks for the experience :)
Really really great idea, so good and so satisfying well done! :p
Hard to control but so so satisfying when you success to play it :p
I really enjoyed it, great theme use!
Looked the video, very nice idea and respect well the theme!
The sounds may be a bit smoosher to keep the relaxing mood.
Great overall!
Haha this is funny, well done! :D
Nice take on the theme! I had some difficulty to progress in the game, it could have been better with a quick tutorial though.
Anyway, you already explained "why" in the description, so well played on this try, and nice job with the hexagonal movement/pathfind :)
Wow this is so smooth, really great feeling! Really well done mate!
Simplistic but nothing bad in it so well done ^^
Really really great graphics, lacks of a nice song to finish it ;)
Nice use of the theme and well done ;)
This is a good idea for the theme, a bit hard but cool :p
My five stars to the Mood!
The mechanic is really well thought, and the atmosphere is really peaceful..
I finished the game at the second try, but as any fight against darkness, that wasn't easy ;)
Nice entry, well played!
This was really cool, really liked it the graphics and mood are great!
Well done!
(hello d'indiemag^^)
Nice entry, the game is very hard but offers a good replay value. The music works but I turned it off after a few tries :) Well done!!
Nice entry, with cool mechanics! I only played it in the "easy" difficulty, so maybe that's why, but I didn't get how useful could be the bullet time glameplay-side.
Well, good job to you guys!
Hey dude! It's actually a pretty nice game, moreover if you know it has been done in 24 hours...pretty impressive!
The time-scoring stuff is making the job, and you really want to start again and again until you check all the races with the Author Medal.
Again nice job, with pretty victor graphics ;)
This is a so cool idea, the game is really great well done!!! Loved it :p
(coucou d'indiemag!)
Nice mood and great result! Especially for an entry made in 24 hours :)
Like others here, I had to restart a few times, and the timer at the beginning become "longer and longer", if you know what I mean...!
But it's a cool entry anyway, well played!
This was a very nice experience!
Really impacting choices and good narration, enjoyed it a lot! Well done =)
Incredible mood, really nice twist of the theme!
Great entry :p
Haha this was really really funny, well done :p
The pixel art work is really great. I also like the fact that you made a game that needs two players on the same keyboard, made me thought about one of my first Jam game...!
Nice entry, well done!
Very nicely done, the two buttons controls work very well and the graphics effects are so well polished!!
Nice mood. The game is really relaxing.
But it's as hard to master as a real bonsai. Sometimes the branches grow far from the mouse cursor. Nice entry anyway!
I started by the Walkthrough version, and the first thing I said is "32mins ?! What ?". The content is very impressive, and the quality of graphics and design as well.
It's a really nice entry with a welcome retro feel. And I love Metroid games (+1 for making it happen in 72 hours...).
Great job!
Funny and original game, It's a good way to combine the two themes!
A back grown could have been great, though! :)
Ok I made it to level 8 I'm proud, this is a great game for the 2 button controls theme!!
It only lacks a bit of graphics and smooth but this is really cool :p
(hello d'indiemag ;) )
Your game has a really nice mood, thanks to the combination of your art and audio. Also, the idea to discover actual buttons in game to change your controls is a good interpretation of the theme.
Well done, sir!
The mood is cool, and you made a great work with your idea. The fact that you can hide behind your totems makes things easier(when you get it).
I was a bit disapointed by the end, as you started a story at the beginning of your game. It could have been cool to have a "happy ending".
Nice job! The mechanic is simple, but works fine! The Viking "touch" is cool as well (even if I'm pretty sure they didn't knew about guitar's riff at this stage of history... :D).
The overall has a nice feel, well played!
+1 for the ranking, great for this kind of game.
Pretty nice entry :)
As it's already been said, the main problem of the game is the audio feedback is the "dumping garbage". I really had the impression to do something wrong.
I had fun with the game though, and the you are fired stuff at the end is quite cool :)
It has some mood but yeah hard to play really ^^
You can really polish it I think to make it smoother to play ;)
Well done anyway!
Very very nice graphics, loved it, I think the game idea is really cool too, music is cool, I don't how but I feel the gameplay could be a bit smoother, well done anyway! :D
I really liked it and the theme is well thought :p
Challenging but that's cool, well done!
Well this is simplistic game design but the art works very well and overall the mood is great, well done ^^
Loved the music, enjoyed it :p
Loved the mood and artistic direction of this entry! It's pretty unique.
Gameplay is a bit repetitive, but original for sure!
Well played :)
Hard to understand but at the end very nice, maybe needs a bit more feedbacks but interesting!
The mood is here but damn it's hard :p could not go so far but really nice music and puzzles! Didn't succeed to slide however!
Nice background on title screen!
Great very well done and works well for the theme! Addictive music too.
Fun but hard! Black and white trails are a bit confusing.
I tried a few times and get 10 as maximum score.
Audio is very repetitive, but obviously intended this way.
Well played.
My five stars to the mood. Your game has a great replay value, and is very relaxing in the same time. Your piano melody add much value to it.
Great job, and nice use of the theme :)
Incredibly neat well done!
I laughed so hard at the intro with the voices, this was soooo cool and well acted, congratulations!!!
The gameplay makes me think a lot of the recent game named Kingdom, nice graphics and well done!
Really liked the theme adaptation and the Snake x Zelda tribute :)
The sound when Long hit something made +1 star on Humor, though :D
Nice entry, well played!
The theme is very nicely executed. I really liked the combo idea (actually finished the game with a score of 200, thanks to the portal...loved it!).
The fact that you made a list of spells with some "?" add to the fun, and I really wanted to discover them all!
Thanks for your game ;)
great graphics and amazing mood, so nice to travel this artistic world but I agree the end could be less abrupt ^^
Nice graphics, but the game feels a little buggy. I often went througt the square, and lost myself in space.
But it was fun because I was a cat!
Very original idea, and nice plateform/puzzle game.
+1 for the funny ending, nice job!
Nice entry, with a very original key feature! I only had a few minutes to play it with a friend (which was leaving at the moment), but it seems well done and pretty solid!
So sorry mate, but unfortunately there is no web or mac version...yet :D Who knows..!
A BIG "Thanks!" to all of you for your feedbacks & comments.
Cheers
I like the use of the theme and this is really beautiful to watch, pretty great to battle in here, well done :D
Love the graphics of the ennemies!
You man made my Ludum Dare. You got my five stars well...Almost everywhere. It's the kind of game I would pay to play as a player. As a Game Designer, I can only respect how clever the mechanic is, and how well it's bringed to the game and explained to the player.
Full respect, well done :)
You just set an awesome mood to your game! I'm not found of maze games, but this one works well on me.
Well done :)
The idea sounds great, and the character is funny :) (love the thumb up). I wish I could do more with it!
I really looooooved the arcade ambiance! Really good execution, and a +1 for the shapeshifting animation.
I don't know if I was just lucky or what, but in one of my tries, I managed to reach 800m without touching anything (by staying a bit above the middle of the screen in ship form).
Just sayin, anyway really solid entry,
Well played!
Pretty inovative and solid entry :)
The gameplay is good, and puzzles are too. If the save had been implemented, we would have loved to try each level and take time to complete all of them!
Well done!
It was clever to limit the field of view in order to get the player lost. I did not manage to reach the end of the game, as I had sometime the impression to take damage without doing anything :(
Hey Alphish, thanks for commenting our entry (we answered to it on our page!).
Concerning your game, the global mechanic is easy to learn and pretty interesting at first glance, but quite repetitive after a few "shapeshiftings".
The fact that I need to collect stuff is fine, but not enough rewarding to give me motivation to keep playing.
Also, in my opinion, the "slides" are not the best way to separate the different interactions.
Making a bigger screen with three different spaces could have create more enjoyable and fluid interactions in my items management.
Considering the lack of time to create this entry, I find it pretty interesting, but with a lack of time to give it a proper presentation :) ! +1 for all the item descriptions, you had to be creative on this point!
Cheers !
You got my point with the swapping windows stuff :) sorry it was late at my place, and hard to think properly !
Just a few lines of text as a reward each time I discover a specific object would give me à feeling of progression !
Thanks for responding to my feedback! It's always interesting to talk with the creator of a game for a better understanding of the design choices when we're facing a prototype ! ^^
Really good art style, and a nice mechanic that totally works!
I enjoyed the game, even though I only reached LVL2 :)
Nice entry, well done!
Pretty original concept, totally fitting the theme.
You could maybe improve the cohesion between your different assets :)
Otherwise, well played!
Nice entry! I have been stuck at the 3rd wild boar as ducks were all at the water level, and I didn't managed to kill the boar because of them!
Loved the humor of your character and story. Music is cool too, though.
Well done! :)
The arena type was really cool! I enjoyed the ninja the most. A little sound feedback when my attacks are ready would have been a good support, though!
Well played, anyway, that's a pretty cool entry :)
That's one of an internet breaker :D
My five stars to Humor! Nice entry which I enjoyed a lot (only played the Windows one, not the Post Jam).
Well played
Nice entry with cool graphics (well played for the animation of your boss). I finally beat the 2nd boss, and then the 3rd one kill me in a rush....Binding was a bit weird on my AZERTY keyboard, though! :)
Well played!
Love the metaphoric of the character only escape which is certainly Death :D
Great job on this entry! ;)
The graphics remind me a bit of Adventure Time. I have currently no controller available, so I keep your game on my desk until I'll be able to play it! :)
Laughed at the chicken! I clicked first at your entry as I also made a game named Kitsune :D Sorry to hear about your placeholder graphics :(
Well done!
A really nice concept and well executed. Flames in the second level were may be too easier to avoid, but all the mechanics were enjoyable :)
And Koala is sooooo cheated! :p
Well done!
Efficient mechanic, and very well executed. I tried a couple times Game Maker, and I must admit the result you had is pretty impressive for a first time!
Well done :)
Thank you all for your feelings! :)
@medidog: in order to activate altars, you'll have to gather some energy ! So space doesnt immediatly works after the tutorial :)
You'll be able to Kill monsters by activating the altar of the same color, and then dashing on the monster with Kitsune!
Thanks for all your kind comments :)
@Alphish, wow thanks man for the detailed feedback!
Actually there are many interesting points in your comment, so I'll try to answer to some of them :
- Yes, dashing is quick and imprecise. In the other hand, keyboard moves (left/right) are precise, but slow.
The idea here was to try to get a good balance with those two controls, in order to use one or the other, depending on the situation.
- The ennemies spawn rate could be a little higher, I totally agree. In fact the difficulty curve could be improved a lot, but we lacked of time on this part ^^
- Good point with being able to reset altars activation. It could indeed be a good improvement, we'll consider this!
- Concerning the relaxing or action oriented type of game...That seems not a big deal if Kitsune does not enter in any specific category :)
We wanted a game that combine stressful moments and some breaks to let the player chill with the relaxing mood.
Maybe it could have been even better with a more iterated difficulty curve, tho!
Fun that you thought about Ran Yakumo! I didn't thought about it myself, but I guess that's a good interpretation :p
The core idea is kind of unique and very well thought! I really like the character pixel art style, and wish the rest of the game could have been the same way :)
Again, great idea with the game mechanic, well done!
Awesome concept and mechanics. I didn't managed to reach lvl3, by lack of time (I died too many times at the end of lvl2, haha!).
I don't know how many levels you did for this LD, but I'm convinced your game would do a great reflex/reflexion game :)
Well done, my 5 stars to innovation and theme adaptation!
Nice take, and technically pretty impressive! I had to wait Something like 5 minutes loading to finally got beaten by a total stranger, but yeah, that was fun ! :)
Thanks for the game, and well done.
I did not managed to launch the game :( It looks pretty and fun to play, and the mechanics seem really interesting too!
So sad I can't play it...
Welcome to Ludum Dare, though! Really nice first entry, but as others said before me, you should go even deeper in your mechanics, and add content!
Well done mate!
I'm not able to launch your game at the moment, but I'll definitely give it a shot asap! Graphics looks definitely cool, though!
Every entry should have enough vote to rank!
I saw your post and decided to give your game a shot! :)
+1star for your comic part! It really helps to get into the game. Also, Funny interpretation of the theme :)
Cheers guys !
Nice idea! And +1 for the kiwi fauna. I miss this country so much!
The game is obviously not polished, but it's quite à good first entry for beginners :)
Well played!
Haha pretty Nice idea :) simple but efficient concept.
Well done !
