I did not see the theme come back in this game, you grow fatter and larger yes, but I do not see how to fits literately or figuratively in running out of space. The controls are "ok" they fulfill their purpose. The map rotation is a bit disorienting, a smoother rotation would fix this. Lastly is the game mechanic easy exploitable by holding any running direction and spamming map rotate. To give the player a more grounded feel, create floor, walls and a ceiling, when the map rotates, the player won't have such a "floaty" experience.
Take those points in mind for your next game and it will definitely be an improvement!
Also, I have found several "ghost" accounts with lazy empty submissions that refer to this submission page. It is not cool at all to crowd the jam with spoof accounts to get more exposure for your game. Every one has worked hard on their projects and every deserves a spot and a chance.
Pro tip. Use an English site to host your game, that way you will reach a wider audience in Ludum Dare. Every button I press on the provided side pop ups either some fishe add or a pay to download service, which no one is going to do.
I myself speak Dutch, but everything we made is in English to prevent language barriers. The translation you posted here as a description is very confusing to, can't make much of it.
Edit: Just skimmed through the 1gig .exe file and found some fishy lines that directed towards the OS root folder, not sure why it would need acces to such locations, but it was fishy enough for me to not install whatever the .exe contained. It would be better if it was a standalone application which is what most of the community creates, no installation needed.
Game looks great! However the game-play itself felt a bit disconnected. The animation feedback should be a bit quicker and more "snappy" the slow animation of the hit attack made everything feel sluggish. Game has also serious frame freeze issues in the webGL build when enemies spawn (not present in the offline builds).
Really like the game, there is quite a lot of work to be done on the movement part. But the overall snappy response of the controls did work out to my advantage in controlling my player in the air. Really loved the music, it gave me some old school donkey kong country vibes.
Really love this game, give a very nostalgic newgrounds era feeling! Really like the art and the audio. Some different type of weapon effects or upgrades would give it just that extra bit of polish.
Game plays well, spacebar counts even when already in the air? got stuck in the last level as I could clip of the screen. Lastly some audio would be nice, even if it was just for jumping. Overall nice game.
The game is very fun to play! The rotating mechanic is very interesting and the game kept me engaged for a while spinning around like a mad man once I got the controls figured out. However, I got a game over because there where no stationary tiles, however I had a row of 4 stationary blocks left. Not sure if this bug has appeared before, but now you know. Nice work overall!
first 10 tries I had an unavoidable 5 block insta kill. All blocks fell down at a very fast pace, I see that this is not the case with other people playing it, not sure what is going on. Either way for in my case the game was pretty much unplayable. However I love lunar lander and the take on tetris is a very interesting approach!
I like the 2 dimensional aspect of building your systems. You do not have a lot of time to think out an efficient layout, but that is a good thing! Audio would have given this just that extra bit of polish though. (Also the UI does not register to the scene depth, so the Depth of Field effect blurs those pixels if there is no building behind it. just a heads up)
It was very unclear which crops where getting destroyed, some directional feedback from where to sound would originate can fix that! Also no way to exit the game except for alt+f4. The final thing that i missed was a purpose. Because there was no incentive to plant the seeds at all. I would be better off without planting them as they then cannot be eaten. The idea itself is promising though, but still a bit rough. I like the way you implemented the theme.
I like the concept, it has potential. Only pet peeve is that the first level was way to hard, that is until I discovered that your double jump resets after a wall-run, I did not expect it to reset. This should have been explained in the tutorial(correct me if I am wrong). That said it feels really satisfying landing on surfaces with special features (such as the speed boost).
Like the idea, but the music gets old quite quickly. The gameplay itself is ok, but not much is keeping me play furter, some feeling of progression is missing. I like the colors and the art, it gives a good retro feel! Keep it up.
