Great game. Funny, the control scheme is nice, and how could I not love the name? Duke Dashington - Gentelman and Scholar. Sweet!

Waiting for the Mac build, from the video, game seems brilliant. Great job!
I really love the story. The jumping seems a bit off (problems with jitter on moving objects), but I WANT MORE! :)
Really liking it :)
Fantastic game! EAT MY CUCUMBER, YOU FOREIGN SCUM!
Great game! Would absolutely love to play some more of it!
I really like the idea, I really like the clean aesthetics, but the game is just SO PAINFULLY SLOW. There should be a way to speed it up, or fill out the time.
When it was down to narrowly navigating separate enemies it was awesome. When I was waiting for 30 seconds to encounter the next enemy, it was horribly boring.
All in all, amazing idea, would love to see it polished into a great game.
Great mood and audio. This is easily one of the most aesthetically pleasing games I've played recently.
Great game! Shame about the ending ;_;
Really nice idea, gets you thinking!
Great game! Love the mechanics and styling. Simplistic yet VERY effective.
Graphics are simple yet very effective. Had lots of fun :)
I played it and really was getting into the groove, but suddenly screen went black and 'trial version' was displayed. What gives! :(
Please, make the quiet button work. I mean, the audio is ok and funny, but I tend to have other things running when I play game and after some time the audio makes me stop playing.
Really funny game and I know what you mean, I'm a fresh father myself and the pees and poos just keep on coming ;)
REALLY cool idea. loved it. Would love to see this expanded into a full game.
Great styling, cool idea. Unfortunately doesn't get harder later as much as Random Number God decision. If the eyes will float above you, you'll walk through the level. If they hit you, they'll blow you off the screen.
Great game! Had tons of fun :)
I really enjoyed this game! Very nice twist on the theme!
Like the idea, but the AI is lacking, and why do I get +$$$ both when I shoot and get money from ATM?
Amazingly cool for such a simple game, the tension when you need to decide if you turn off the lantern is real :D
Fantastic graphics, good audio, but not much more. The gameplay is too random. You can't predict where the fire will fall, so you've got SOME chance of being able to pass further.
Cool little game, would love some AI.
Audio gets 11/5, wish I had more stars to give ;_;
I think some feedback (graphical or auditory) when you hit zombies would be good. Only after shooting really long I noticed I killed one, and that you actually can do that.
Meow, meow :D
Really like the idea, even if the physics sometimes came at odds with gameplay (getting stuck on pieces of debris from boxes for example). Great mood!
Like the idea :)
The browser mode has right click blocked, you might want to change that. Also, isn't right shift bit far from WASD?
I am the new master!
Really cool game. Exsalted gameplay!
I really like the game idea, but the progress is slow and I got stuck with a thick vine that took me forever to unwind when I was just starting out. Needs bit more of a tutorial.
I really like your game, very fun twist on a theme!
Loving the troll-smacking action :)
Really cool entry, but more feedback about what's about to happen (ie, when you're going to get caught) would be nice
Reminds me of Tapper from long long ago :)
Weird lag issues, anything between half a second to more than ten seconds can occur between pressing a key and getting a response.
Love the theming, and funky graphics though!
Great iidea! Would love to see you expand on it, throw some special zombies, maybe ramps and buttons for the ball to hit that activate abilities, like in real pinballs, but with ZOMBIE KILLING!
Stunning graphics, really cool gameplay. My only gripe is that (so far as I could tell) there's no ramping up in difficulty. I could get rid the screen of all the enemies at 80 points and be back to square one.
Really fun little game, was having fun playing it with you :) could do with some powerups or special attacks though. Two thumbs up otherwise!
Loving the style.. Toucanman shall have his revenge!
Great idea and execution :)
Great fun! Would really like to see this idea polished into a full blown game.
Shame I can't rate you on art, as I really like the style.
Hey all, thanks for comments, I really appreciate it. I know that my theme interpretation is lacking. When I was wrapping up the game and I was creating the levels, I realised that creating challenging levels (which in my opinion make or break this kind of platformer) meant I had to play through all of them to make sure that they're actually possible to beat. That cut into my making-more-levels time, which meant I had to make even more challenging levels to make up for that.
I wanted to put more ways to kill your enemies with the world and more kinds of enemies to kill, (for example slow enemies that don't jump off cliffs but you can crush under pistons), but I just didn't have enough time to implement it.
I'll do a more coherent writeup in Post Mortem, as soon as I finish working today.
I have achieved over 500k points and see no point. There really should be a losing condition. Hell, even a goal points that you want to get in X km, or shortest distance to get Y points.
I love the aesthetics, the base idea is solid... but I just need something to do in a game.
Nice stealth game!
Good game! Strong theme too.
Catchy tune :)
Huh? :D
Holy shit, this game is hard. Or I'm just terrible ;)
Sweet game!
Great game! Now the theme will be stuck in my head :d
The web version has context menu pop up under RMB! You might want to turn that off (in the Player Settings). Nice art!
Really nice idea and loving the style! Too easy to get randomly captured by flash that you don't know will appear. Blue flash killed me the moment it showed up, had no chance ;_;
Great design! Beautiful game.
STOMPY! SOMPY! MORE STOMPY! :D
Great game! The graphics are crisp, the gameplay is fun, the music works very well. I love being monster pizza delivery boy! At first I had problems figuring out where the clients are (was looking for some pizza symbol or something hovering over a house), but once I've figured that out, it was great fun getting fired over and over again because I can't avoid collateral damage :D
And big thanks for not only rating, but commenting on my game, it's very useful for post-compo version. Unless something is VERY wrong, there should be a roar cooldown display on the bottom right, but now I am aware that I'm not drawing enough attention to the UI elements, thanks to comments.
TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TARARARA :DDD
Quite cool game! Very good graphics :)
Shame it didn't pan out for you. Seem like it had potential.
Really good game. Loved the switching to slasher mode idea :)
Fun game!
Really strong entry. Good game.
Great music!
Cool game. I didn't see if the path of moving characters are predictable. It would be really cool if you were to look at the paths and then fire at correct place, without having to count on luck :)
Like the idea, had some problems with falling through floor after building crate on top of myself ;)
Great game! Obviously played through 3 times :). Got stuck on hoverbike part, but I couldn't be beat by adventure game!
Very impressed with how much you achieved in such small amount of time.
REALLY cool twist!
Cool game! All hail our new baby overlords :D
GOTTA AIM THOSE BOLTS :D
Short but really good!
I think this is my favourite entry in the entire LD so far. Great job! RELEASE IT ON MOBILE, EARN MONIES! ;)
That's a really beautiful and well polished game!
If only there was some cops to hunt you after a killing spree! Great idea :)
Really great game!
Nice game.
Quite cool game!
Good attempt! Wish you luck next time!
Really funny game. Loved it a lot!
I am the well poisoner, fear me!
Cute monster design :)
The controls are insane, but the game is fun! :)
It was bit too easy to bruteforce - move to every object and press all 3 search buttons at the same time. Maybe delay between usages?
Really cool and pretty, but is there an end goal? I grew to over 30000 kg :D
Really neat take on the theme!
The darkness is the real monster! ;P
Pampampampampampampampampam!
This is just amazing. Wow :)
The game was quite cool, liked the final boss fight, though it wasn't that hard with possibility to switch to shield mode at any time
That's a solid game, good job!
Really cool game! Bring it out for iOS ;)
Really fun way to interpret the theme :)
That's some fantastic graphics :)
Fun idea :)
Really cool, loving the art, music and humor, but is there no health on the player character? I just could force through shots and scare enemies. What's the point on the shield then?
What I said in the IRC - it's goddamn beautiful, it's a pleasure to listen to, just add save points damn you! :D
Ran without problems for me on web version, fun times have been had :D
Loved the tentacle-music!
Really cool idea! Loving it!
Really cool idea, 3 drunks and 2 butchers got me ;)
Really cool!
Beautiful little game :)
Fun game, but the aiming was bit hard sometimes :)
SKIDDLES ARE PEOPLE!
Great game!
Great job!
Cool little game :)
Amazing graphics :)
Good game! I guess Papers Please is now a genre :D
Also, great audio.
Great idea :)
m-ptshh, m-m-ptsshhh! :DDD
Great audio in a fun game!
Fast and frantic, just as I love it!
Download link is dead
Holy shit, I'm glad that you guys made this work and poked me about it! It's so incredibly juicy! Controls are immediate and responsive, the action is visceral, the audio is spot on, the special attacks feel great, and even losing a life feels rewarding.
It feels good to be bad when I play it, and I LOVE that!
Great job! This is what I call a proper game.
Really fun game! Loved it!
Really funny entry :D
Nice idea :)
Really cool game idea!
Great game. Tight controls, sweet mechanics. Love it!
Really interesting game!
Really cool game. The controls are sweet and the graphics is really nice!
Fun idea :)
Had bit of a problem to make the car ride up a mountain, but once I got momentum, the game picked up pace :)
Ahhh, NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!
Great, now I'll be singing this entire day :D
SMASH!
Really cool idea!
Really fun game! :)
Really pretty and cool, but somewhat lacking stuff to do when you navigate your planet to find pieces of gun/jetpack.
Shame you didn't get to finish it, seems like a cool idea!
Very nice, flowing game :)
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING, BUT I'M PLAYING A FIRE BREATHING SEAGULL! :DDDD
My life is complete now, thanks.
On a more serious note, love the art style :)
Let's trip some neeeeerds :D
Very cool game! I wish there was more levels!
Gotta love Godzilla eating cars!
Fun sneaky game, could use more levels!
This game reminded me of GalCon, really nice. Also, Works on OS X!
PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW!
Hey, the game started sweet, but after I fell down between buildings it crashed :(
Cool art, but rolling dice game could really use some multiplayer.
The blobfish face is hillarious :D
Overall brillant :)
The game seems really fast. Is it on purpose? I barely can see movement of the other entities.
Really great game. Amazing graphics too!
Really cool game!
For a game in 30 minutes, this is sweet!
You can kill tanks by standing far from them and shooting at the highest point of the jump arc :D
Hillarious :D
Absolutely fantastic, shame there was no opponents to present a challenge. Also, the underground attack could be so much better if it dealt serious damage on surfacing. Other than that, brilliant! Had so much fun :)
Fun game. Would really love some more levels!
Link is broken!
What's the goal? I really liked the idea, but after destroying some buildings, nothing changed. Also, the music is stuck on the first loop.
loving the music!
Really cool small game! I'm a monster ;_; A monster! ;_;
Quite fun :D
Loved the audio :D
The $ menu disappears immediately as I click it :(. I use Web build. Please fix that, your game seems sweet!
Really pretty. Simple, yet effective! Great job!
Really nicely polished, great game!
STRANGELY UNCOORDINATED MONSTER DESTROYS 0 BUILDING(s) PHYSICISTS INTRIGUED
Ahahahah! Eventually I managed to stumble towards buildings, but I laughed out loud when I read that :D
Great game, loved it :)
Really nice twist on the theme
The flying reminds me of Magic Carpet, nice. Great graphics too!
Fun idea :)
Really fun game! Loved the little alien :)
I have to admit I did not wait for the village to grow :D
Really good game, loved the puzzles!
Really cool game! Loved the interludes. GO GO POWER BRAINER!
Really cool game!
Really cool game! Wish there was more levels :)
To quote the popular saying 'WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN!'. Well played!
This is very similar game to mine, though I use way simpler graphics (I've never modeled before)
Tis' just a flesh wound!
Heh, I love the fact that I can kill birds with a fish :D
Really sweet game!
Cute dinosaur! :D
I wasn't sure at first what was going on, but as I explored, all has been revealed. I am a taco wizard!
Really cool idea :)
Quite a cool idea, nice writing!
Really sweet art! I think that I ate all the people in the town, but nothing happened, just grew really big. Is this normal? Some of the people clipped through buildings, so maybe I did miss somebody?
Fantastic mood!
I really laughed :D
Oh no! :DDDD
GREAT game :D
Cool game!
Well, we had a nice run.
>ARMAGGEDON
Very good game! I really enjoy the graphic style too :)
I think I broke it ;). At one point I had 13377/10 mana, and was doing 4000+ damage to 10 hp enemies through AOE attack, instantly gaining another level :D
Cool game, the only problem is that on OS X ctrl+direction moves you between different screen spaces
True to the theme, I got Genocide ending :D
Link throws 404: not found!
Overall nice idea, but I discovered that I could just hover my monster under the island and kill everything by twitching to left and right. Maybe have some kind of delay between attacks? or make the island a no-go zone?
Really cool, only nitpick: the shooting during the gameover screen was annoying. Other then that, had great fun!
Ahahaha great game :D
VERY nice graphics. Couldn't get pass the tree section even though. Maybe I should jump to the other side faster?
Cool game, though the hitbox for the attack is bit small :)
Love text adventure games! :)
I did NOT expect this game :D. Cool stuff!
The gameplay is simple, but I love the interpretation of the theme.
Very good game, wish you added more letters later on in the game, so that the difficulty could scale. It would prove a really cool learning tool for kids!
Good attempt, keep trying!
Really pretty game, shame it's so short!
That is a really solid entry. And when considering that it's your first game ever, that's just amazing. Congratulations!
Cool little game, sweet art.
Cool game :D
'Wonder when will giant sharks come... OH! THOSE GIANT SHARKS!' :D
Hillarious! Though I shun on skipping the leg day! SHUN!
Really cool idea!
Really hard game, also sometimes the people jump too far to the sides to be saved. Very pretty and nice music though!
Jump, frogman! Jump!
Nice idea, loved the boss fight!
Really cool game!
Amazing game, love it!
Funny little game.
Really liked it :)
Great game, really enjoyed it!
Cool little game. The music ended after I've spent some time on the level and didn't resume though.
Cool game :)
Really nice idea. Would love some more of this!
Cool game, brilliant art!
Liking it, but the difficulty spike between lvl1 and 2 is insane :D
Good game!
Great music, but the gameplay seems a bit lacking. I wish there was some opposition or challenge other than roaming around.
Great idea. Loved how the music changed. Can't figure out how to beat the rain level. By the time I get to top I'm turned into a pig :(
Amazingly pretty graphics, the humour was fun, but the movement felt a bit jerky.
Hah, really cool!
Sweet pixel art :D
Exception thrown to the console :(
Really funny game, but I didn't get the waiting between clicking and conversation. It felt like nothing was happening instead of like the vampire was talking. Maybe display some speech bubbles?
Really nice idea :D
Really good entry, great audio and loved the graphics! Fonts were bit unreadable at times though.
Oh man, I know those salesmen. Fun game :D
Easily the best out of all 'UFO abduct' games I've played today. great job!
Cool game, liked the idea of dragon heads switching places, adds a twist on standard 'press buttons fast' gameplay.
Nice game! Very funny interpretation of a theme :)
Fun writing!
Liking the art!
Ok, I have to admit, I laughed :D, also, what Gas said :D
Crazy :D
That was some good mood in this game!
Holy shit, this is HARD! :D
Cool game, great gameplay!
Really cool game! Like Typing of The Dead, only with Trevor! :D
Pretty game :)
I threw kittens at asteroid to stop it from hitting me :D
Cool idea!
Fantastic graphics! Love them!
Really nice idea, really cool game! :D
Awesome :D
Over 5 million on first attempt :D
Really cool idea, very nice execution!
Poor kittens, but... I MUST HAVE HIGH SCORE :D
Cool game! Love adventure game entries :)
That was hard. I wasn't sure I could do even harder level, but then I WAS THE MONSTER :)
Oh wow, thank you all for commenting, I really didn't expect this game to be such warmly embraced <3
@Boberro, sorry, I develop on OS X and I didn't actually check it after fixing the bug in other versions on release. It's fixed now :)
@Birtus 'guys'? I am a single dude, this is a compo entry :)
Great game! Love the gameplay idea, and the flying dragon just looks sweet.
A cool concept!
Really solid entry, liked it! :)
Nice puzzles :)
Damn it dad, stop being so hard on me!
Great game :)
Cool idea, love the design on the characters :)
I need more points! ;_;
