Starts too fast (hordes of enemies before you even got used to the controles) but besides to that a great idea. sadly no music but worth playing.
I fell out of the map :D
still a great idea on the crafting part.
well done.
kinda slow, hard to get enemies to collide, but it's well done, nice graphics, cool controls (love shooting backwards). gets a little bit boring though.
thumbs up
links not working for me, will check back tomorrow.
it's working now :D
as already posted the level is HUGE. almost impossible to find all humans before loosing interest. besides to that. well done.
sadly unfinished, but man I had a laugh :D thanks for that one.
Well done, liked the game very much. Sadly there were a few sounds missing for me (block hittig floor,..) but besides to that very well done.
had problems installing, installed again (repaired) and it worked. I had SlimDX already installed. dunno what went wrong first time. the game is something fresh (at least to me) the graphics are "ok" and the gameplay is sometimes bugged (can't place stone) but besides to that it's well done and fun to play. bomberman without bombs. sadly the theme (enemies killing themselves) happens accidentally.
Thanks for the awards. I rechecked the game and you were totally right. I apologize and adjusted the rating accordingly. Btw. my first comment wasen't intendet to be "semi-positive". It's all positive! (except the weird setup problems, but that's something out of your scope).
best regards. Hope to see you next LD.
well done for your first game. don't let comments or ratings get you down. it's not that bad. maybe the damage should be a little increased so the game doesn't last so long (and gets boring)
pdyxs, no it's not supposed to be like this.
The error is fixed in the patched version. (It only happens when you got 2 achievements with the same score, so the game crashes on deciding which rank to use :D)
It's still kinda funny getting a error on the winning screen of a hack-game :) Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you liked it.
KilledByAPixel, you can buy additional seconds in the market (taking the red pill). It's still hard though.
I already doubled the times after noticing noone else than me can succeed. Seems like it's still too fast. Lesson learned :)
Oh, I thought by now everyone should have .Net Framework 3.5 installed as 4.0 already came by Windows Update :D
here you go: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&displaylang=en
well about the theme I used the enemies (the server) as a weapon against other servers. (as you need X Servers/Bandwidth to hack another one) - lil bit abstract.
Can't blame you for that. btw. Alien Swarm was the inspiration for the pipe-hacks :D
well done enjoyed it. missing music though.
well done. I love the idea of throwing heads into a basket.
wow it's really hard, didn't last longer than ~10 seconds :D
good idea, although better graphics wouldn't hurt.
doesn't start here, even after installing the VC redist.
couldn't make the way up again (got stuck in the middle) but I like this game. well done.
well done, I liked the expanding / enemy-harvesting part.
but sadly I got somehow stuck outside of the screen after dying. Besides to that, well done.
finish this. it's an order :D
First I was kinda stuck, felt I'm doing something wrong. then I finally got the hang. It's more of an interactive-story than a game but still I like it. Too bad it was that short.
First, please add Y as an equivalent for Z for us non-english-layout users so we can properly play. Second, it's really hard to dodge the bullets while trying to shoot the "bumpers" and getting the timing right. maybe reduce the shooting-frequenzy. I dunno. I gave up after the 4th Bumper. :/
But I like the artstyle and the music. Too bad there is so little SFX going on besides to that.
Might be just me, but I only see the Source link.
Sadly I can't rate your game. It's a good mechanic and I really liked the audio. Well done.
too bad I got stuck where the second character got introduced. I jumped up with the taller one to the fruitbasket but couldn't do a thing. Tried 5 minutes to figure it out then gave up :/ Nice work on the game, good art (gdx and audio), (more ambience-sounds wouldn't have hurt but thats just me) Well done!
Awesome story. Especially the final part. Well done.
Very nice mechanic. the difficulty ramp seems a little bit too steep. great work on the audio as well. a little more ambience wouldn't hurt but its ok. Best Regards!
Yep, that game is pretty hard, even at easy. It feels like its running too fast. Besides to that, well done.
Well done. Too bad one can still move the hands while they are hitting down. That way one can easily hit and sweep the ground clean in 1 go. clearing most waves in 1 hit.
Just told you on irc, but this game deserves a comment as well. I LOVE the story and style, the detail of the graphics and the movement mechanic of the second part feels so fresh. I had lots of fun even thou I didn't win. But I'm missing some more sounds to build up athmosphere (even more) and music would have been nice. please make a post-compo version of this even if the length of the game stays the same. Best regards! (I'd vote if I could but I didn't submit)
awesome game. sfx is a litte bit annoying and the music could be better. please continue this game post compo
Sadly I'm not allowed to rate this game. But its frickin awesome. It's been a while since I last played a game where music wasn't just there to fill the gaps in the audio but rather get the world moving. Well done.
also there is a bug when an alien gets trapped on the most right tile, so incoming aliens get bounced off by it and you only have to defend one side. Great idea and a great story. Enjoyed it very much. Thanks.
well done, nothing more to say. Music would have been nice.
Great game, nice graphics. I got a little lost and died somewhere on the left side. Some more sound-effects would have been nice but the wind/storm adds alot to the athmosphere. Well done.
You made lots of nice characters. The art is a little bit too hard on the eye while scrolling the monochrome tiles start flashing. Besides to that I really liked the game. Jumping (gravity) seems a bit too high and abrupt. But it's okay. Well done!
Can't really vote except for the technical achievment. Well done but it's too choppy to play/rate. Well done!
Lookin good! Awesome effects and sound. But please up the resolution, those pixels on fullscreen are a pain in my eye. Looking forward on playing a post-compo version. Well done.
Hard as hell, didn't make it through the first level. Amazing work on art and setting. Lovely.
strange and beautiful! not sure if this really can be called a game but a interactive music-visualization :D Anyways, I had fun and enjoyed it!
Could need more sfx, graphics are awesome. Gameplay is ok. Enjoyed it. Well done.
Strange gameplay. Nice mechanic. It took me 2 attempts until I noticed I can assemble my "thing". played a while but it gets repetive very fast. Nice game. Well done.
Strange but somehow funny as well. Love the "voiceacting", somehow breeding can lead to negative stats. the intro-text is hard to read. Besides to that funny idea and well done. I broke Goat1s Hearth, I'm so sorry.
7460. Love the gameboy colors. Some chiptune would have been awesome and enemies making some more sounds. Love the evolving part. Will play again. Well done.
12:33, nice idea. Smooth gameplay, somewhat slow if you take the wrong perks in the beginning. Missing sound and music, besides to that solid game! well done.
Sorry, this is too big for my connection :(
Haha, how did you come up with this! Genius! I don't like betting games at all but this is great. Some music would have added a little backgroundnoise. Funny game. Well done!
Voiceacting is great in this one. so emotional :D. The idea is great as well. Would love to see this mechanic expanded into a full game with more polish.
A little bit to hard for me, can't catch the balls fast enough. Sounds would have been a nice addition. Well done.
Liked the theme, and the "ghostbusters" like mechanic in a FPS. mouse-sensitivity seems a bit too high, it's hard to hit stuff, but I managed to do some waves and liked it very much. Well done. Add some music and more enemytypes please.
Good idea and a great game. Enjoyed playing it.
Awesome. I didn't find out how to combo tough :( just threw lots of stuff into the pool. was still funny to see the result :D Would like to see/hear different sounds for different items in an post-compo version.
I was able to evolve 1 gorilla, incredibly hard to get them into a loop (might be just me) Besides to that the game got a nice mechanic (but an annoying musicloop). Well done. Would like to see this mechanic expanded (like the already mentioned tail-length-increase)
Got no chance to get past the triangle-part. Music gets annoying really fast. Nice idea tough.
I liked the story and how it build up. the fight in the end was ok but I hoped for more depth in the end. Well done.
Missing audio, some blops would have been nice and some music. Nice little game, would work great on touchscreens.
Well done!
some badies would have made this more interesting. sounds and music are good, graphics as well. the continous tapping is a bit boring. besides to that, well done!
Like the artstyle but sadly there was no sound. It's really short but I'd like to see more of this. Well done!
I am a hero! Really missing some more audio/music. Love the idea, the fighting could have been made a bit more complex (like blocking and stuff) Simple game but I had my laugh! Well done.
would it be possible to make this into an executable?
Ran out of time on the 2nd or 3rd level and can't restart because clicking play redirects to the time up screen. Nice gamemechanic.
Oh what a nice take on "evolution". Really like the idea. The gameplay might be to fast for ppl to get it, and it's kinda hard. Got stuck on the second level but enjoyed it. More sound would have been nice.
love the art an animations! well done. the barking is earpiercing, totally realistic!
Nice entry. Did create some beats. Not really a game but a nice little drum machine. some way to change tempo would have been great. Anyways, well done! (Website didn't work for me, but the Jar did)
i made it down to 5 by hiding in the beginning and pooping all over the place :D strange idea but hey it works. well done!
Needs more sound effects and some way of winning. animations would have been nice as well. Anyways. Well done. It's your first attempt after all.
Nice mechanic. Really liked the idea. My brain doesn't seem to be able to manage more than 4 views at the same time tough :D Some ambience/music would have made this really complete.
Great idea, but I gave up after loosing 3 times because I threw away some thing i needed or driving deep away not able to get back. Would have been great if things would be everywhere not just where you're supposed to be. It's hard getting back without some way to turn.
same error here. besides to that, if this is a compo entry you have to add your sourcecode as well (see rules)
Sorry to bother you again: Unable to find file:
Graphics/Characters/Vehicle, after selecting New Game.
I like the mechanic but it feels a little bit too random. Also the walking around to find zombies is a bit annoying after 13+ generations (to slow) Well done.
nice idea, couldn't figure out how to cross the pathway to the second isle in adventure mode. didn't read too much text, tried to transform the "fishes" into a bridge but they didn't line up so I gave up. Endless-mode was better, until I got out of DNA-Ammo. Nice presentation and work. Liked it!
Nice art, good music, the boss? was kind of random. Tried to beat it but I got killed without knowin why. Keep going!
Not sure if it's ok to use external music in a compo entry. Besides to that the music bloats the download (39mb music). Liked the mechanic of sticking the blocks on me but sadly after the first level the game got stuck and I couldn't click anything.
nice visuals, fitting audio, starts slow but gets hard pretty fast. Liked the concept. Well done!
Sadly you couldn't get the cake into it. Love the music and sound-acting. Well done.
If I could give a 4.5 overall I would. Great Atmosphere, nice mechanic, I enjoyed my play. Well done.
Why is Darwin floating in space, shooting bananas at alien-priests? I don't care, but it's fun! Well done. Would add more animations/different enemies.
The time it takes to recover from a "drop" is a bit too long, resulting in mass drops. I actually dropped from the topmost era all down to the bottom without being able to interfere. Besides to that a nice little game. Feeling very retro, but sadly missing some music. Well done!
Well done. I love Educational Games as this one. Please expand on this. Maybe get someone to read the text for voiceovers, and a "skip" button to forward the messages would be great.
No sound? I see OpenAL packaged but can't hear anything. Also noticed the key-problem. Besides to that, well done.
Evolution works .. got stuck after about 6 rounds with an shape I was unable to shoot and see. :D Some directions wouldn't be bad, it took a while until I noticed I had to shoot something there :D
Interesting mechanic. Especially liked the "rounded"-scrolling. Could have been harder. Too bad you lost the music :/ Well done!
Nice mechanic. Music would have been nice as well. good first game. well done.
Interesting idea. The music? gets annoying after a while, but I like the idea. Sometimes it's difficult to see the fire. And I noticed you didn't fix the width of the "Agai"-Button ;) Well done!
I really liked where this is going, great idea and a nice story. but I had to quit after the 3rd planet. Playing the almost same Spaceship part (that's very long as well) between is getting old really fast. Good work tough, I enjoyed it!
Tried a second time after reading the comments. still I ragequit at the first screen. Movement is horrible(it seems on purpose) but without any guide what to do and where to go this doesn't make much sense. The gameplay evolved from the start until when I closed the browser. Random isn't hard.. it's just random. And even if it isn't, that's what it feels like and that's why I quit. Sorry. 5 Stars for Mood because I ragequit.
nice music, strange gameplay. I like the idea but it would need more typical elements of the represented game-eras. Looking forward for a post-compo version (if there will be one)
Simple game but nice idea. Well done!
Amazing. Once I found out how it works it was fun playing around with my own little population. You should evolve this into a game where you have to travel with your pixels from start to finish, or reashing a target-populationsize or something. kind of gamification. but I like this entry as is. Had fun. Well done!
Couldn't get my "worm" to evolve, and died when the first enemy hit the box on the left. no way to stop him. besides to that, well done! some sort of audio would have been nice
nice game, it's difficult and irritating that the shoes don't seem to have any effect. I didn't know you get bombs/doublejump when you pick up another "shoe"-powerup :D Wasn't really able to test the powerups because I died so fast. Well done, good game.
Nice Entry, it's hard to dodge the enemies. Sounds would have been a nice addition.
Great effort. CHALLENGE: First person proving he can get after the first sign gets a redbubble giftcard. jesus, this is difficult. 5 stars for audio, gotta love sega music. I'd give 5 stars as well for technical achievment as well!
Looking good. I can see where this could have ended. Well done. Not bad for 10 hours of work. Well done!
250, then the game started to stutter and I died. Anyways a good game. Some different Enemy-sprites, different sounds and music would have made this even better. Well done.
awesome, looking forward to the sources. nice gameplay, nice animations. Totally a winner. Music could have been better and some voiceovers would have been perfect. Please continue to work on this. I'd pay for a full game.
Nice art. Sadly it's very easy to get killed instead of hitting the head. But anyways well done!
Enjoyed the game. Sounds would have been nice. Day 3 is hard but I beat it on my 3rd attempt. Would buy this on android. You might consider doing an applet-version for the ease of playing for the next time.
awesome pixelart and style. got around 100 meat. In the beginning I got the shooting wrong. I was thinking right is shoot and left reload. Found out soon enough about my mistake :D
This would make an excellent educational game! Liked it very much. I reached the bottom and had still 1 species left I think, but it was a nice ride to the bottom. Enjoyed it! Well done.
Got up to 26 and gave up. The pixelkittens are lovely, more soundeffects would have been nice and some help. It took a while until I figured out I could do double and walljumps.
Good game!
Nice mechanic and cute art. Was a bit hard to get into but then it was fun. Some mutations were really difficult to get compared to others. But I like the concept. Please continue working on it. (Turned off the music as it was a bit annoying :D)
Nice little game. Was a bit too easy in the beginning but turned out the be well balanced after the first few "rounds". Well done!
Best Score: 2. It took 2 reads of the description and tries to get me building turrents, and another try to see how this should work. I gave up. I was able to build 3 turrents, but the ants are just crashing the middle one and killing the core. Awesome work for the compo, but I might be to dumb to play. Would loved to play this more because it looks polished and is my style of game. Usually :/
Like the graphics. Sound really is missing here, and it's missing some content. But I like the direction this is going. Well done!
I played this to the end. Don't be scared by the GFX, the story and mood is very strong in this one. enjoyed my ride. You somehow managed to get me feeling in the end. Well done.
Made it to level 13, Terrain looks great! Music is fitting but the controls are strange. I started to move when I was shooting, running into the enemy and stuff. Anyways.. reached level 13 so I played a while :D Well done.
Liked the game. It did need 3 playthroughs for me to get it right (and winning). Wish it had more sfx, the music is nice but some more audio like wood chopping/stones,.. would have been nice. I liked this game. Well done.
Whoa, it seems this is running very fast. my blob is rushing through the world. I like the concept very much but due to the controls it's hard to really do something instead getting caught bei enemies all the time. Sadly I got the Bat-crash on windows as well. Would like to see this post-compo. Well done!
Good idea. Played it til the end. Well done.
I know how the first one should work but because of the jumpy controls I can't make it. the "win-text" disappears to fast to try a second time. after 5 games of pong I gave up. Sad, because I know there was more to discover. Well done anyways. Can't really rate the rest :/
Nice game, hard to find Z on german keyboard layout. I think I made it to the end (if that smoky stone is the end). Could be a great game if you continue working on it.
Strange game indeed. Normally I'd say it's missing sound, but I couldn't imagine sounds fitting that kind of action. :D Well done.
Those small ones are fast and hard to hit. Made it above 10k. Sadly I didn't really use the morphing mechanic.
This was nice, predictable but well made. Too bad there is no sound. That would have made an great impact on the atmosphere! well done.
Nice game, very challenging. Some music would have been nice. Like the artstyle. Well done.
Working on my Galaxy Nexus. Did avoid some stuff. No idea how to get score but played for a while.
I don't like VN, but I really enjoyed this one. Good job on the story and the graphics. Well done.
Sadly no audio. Spread makes it easy to dodge. Besides to that, well done.
Wow I really didn't expect that. Made it to level 8. Needs another twist to make it more interesting. loved the voice-acting :D
nice take on a simple mechanic. too bad there was no sound. Enjoyed playing it.
Some kind of (ingame) instructions would have helped. Liked the graphics. Looking like SkiFree.
Whoa I didn't expect this. alot of content considering the 48hrs limit. good take on the theme.. with more polish this could make a great game. It's a bit easy though.
Nice graphics, but I can't find a way to dodge the bullets. Totally a mobile-game.
Good game, collisions are a bit annoying because the submarine is a box instead of a circle (I guess?). Loved the mechanic of the surroundings getting darker. Some more fx (audio and graphics) would have been nice.
Played it til the end. The floating weapons are a bit strange to get used to, but the secondary attacks are nice. Some more enemy types would have been great.
Nice presentation and fluid gameplay. A bit difficult in the beginning.
You web-link doesn't work for me (IE9). Played at Stencyl. Not bad for a first timer.
great idea, would love to see a polished version of this. needs some sounds
When I die the game just locks up? Nice Fx with the falling buildings. Never really climbed the buildings because running on the floor punching everything worked fine.
Wow I really feel sorry for that little guy. Had fun playing. Well done.
Solid game. A little inbalanced and a really slow start. the intro is way too long (and silent wich makes it appear even longer) Gameplay is nice but the beginning is far too slow. after the first upgrades it gets better. Good job on the art and it's an creative entry indeed. well done.
pythong, thanks for pointing that out.
I fixed the audio for firefox now (ff can't play mp3 but ogg).
The Play-link isn't working in IE9 but does in Chrome.
Game is well done, some music would have been nice.
Good idea, loved the "bomb"-interaction on this one. Too bad you didn't have enough time for more sfx and music.
cute graphics and animations, very juicy, would love to play this with a slightly bigger viewport. Jumping + throwing grenades might add more depth to the combat. One of my favourite entries so far.
Can't get past the welcome-screen in chrome, seems input isn't working.
Good result for your first try. Played until 163 enemies killed, could use more types of enemies and weapons and powerups. Also a background and some music would be nice. But even finishing is a great achievement for the first LD. Well done.
