I killed the first rat, then tried to run past the second and got stuck (we would both move at the exact same time and couldn't move up or down to get closer to each other)
wow I actually felt a little sad when all my pink ones died! So much from so little! Great job!
cool concept, but it seems like just hammering the down button is the winning strategy (moving around increases your chance to get crushed).
wow! The most innovative game I've played so far in rating like 80 games! My one criticism is it's too much work to get to the interesting parts of your game. I bet a lot of people will play and rate after only seeing "rectangle". I beat every surface though, I had to see what was next! I have no idea what a chaos sphere is. Maybe a picture of what the surface is or some kind of in world indication would help (if you polish post compo). Again though, really innovative great job!
I'm not really sure what to do... I got all white on one side and all black on the other side with no numbers, didn't win. Got all 1s on one side and all zeroes on the other side, didn't win. Does the game end? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
music is sick, was gonna ask how you made it until I saw you didn't! And yeah not on theme at all, but a fun little game.
Cool! It's almost like snake, in a way (maybe because of the controls). I love the worm anims!
good use of the theme!
Gravity is a harsh mistress
I couldn't really figure out exactly how to play. I clicked around randomly kind of getting it? I love the minimalist music! Sets a great tone/mood with very little.
):
email.AddHug()!
definitely... original?
looks great and a cool concept! I wish there was some score feedback so I could tell how "well" I was doing! Love the style!
great game, great art, fun to play! Not much challenge but loved killing those dudes.
love the farmer sprite. sick stache
I get an error:
GwtApplicatin: exception: Couldn't load image 'title0.png', file does not exist
dig the art, didn't really feel like I had any control over what happened though - I might as well have flipped a coin 10 times and watched a rabbit explode each time it came up tails.
evil fish! always trying to build an iceberg!
that troll is awesome looking, very muppetish.
severed arm is only worth 1.40 a pound?!?
it was really hard to get the claws to actually connect
really fun! I wish the triangles were easier to tell apart from the squares. They should be the red ones! It felt like it really got away from me pretty fast, not sure why. But one of the most fun games I've played so far in the compo! Great job!
this is a great example of how much lighting can make simple graphics look polished! Good work!
what a fun concept! Dialog is hilariously unexpected.
the game FEELS really good to where I was actually disappointed to not be able to keep playing! Definitely keep working on it!
EAT FLASHLIGHT BLOBBY GHOST FIENDS!
cool concept! I wish the balls that weren't aiming at me didn't do damage (seems like every shot fired hits me, which feels wrong)
I get "invalid data file" when I try to run the web build.
@Pent - I'm not sure! It works for me in chrome OSX! I've noticed that unity web player sometimes won't take mouse input after you accept it to "run once", and you have to switch tabs and come back. Might that be the case here? Sorry! I'll try to see if I can figure anything else out.
@weazen oh no! I just went and tried on my macbook and it worked. Are you having trouble playing other entries that use the unity webplayer or just mine?
@aneeslol - the dictionary is supposedly the scrabble dictionary (unless there are bugs in my reading of it, which there were at the last minute and I hope I fixed).
@Doubstract - nice! Even beat my score!
@stenol - oh man I know! I was gonna add sfx at the end and then I was just brain dead and hungry and instead some huge bugs came up. Definitely something to do different last time. I didn't even miss sound that much until I started playing other peoples games!
@Lars - Yeah I think something is wrong with my dictionary code... I'm looking at the data and it seems like a lot of bogus two letter words are in there. I'll definitely have to dig into that more if I decide to keep working on this. Thanks for playing!
although, there are a surprisingly large number of bogus 2 letter words allowed in scrabble (the dictionary I am trying to use is a scrabble word list): http://www.scrabblefinder.com/two-letter-scrabble-words/ like come on AA is not a word!
@brodavi thanks for playing! on the first day it punished players for submitting bad words, but people were pretty annoyed by that. Maybe I should do the opposite and reward players who don't miss? Something to think about if I polish it more! Also yeah some of the words seem bogus (because scrabble accepts bogus words, and because I might have a bug in my word checker)
@porglezomp I used dreamlo for the leaderboards: http://dreamlo.com/ I'm not sure how it would scale to production but it's SICKENINGLY easy for a prototype. This is the file in my project that does all the score posting, parsing, and display and it's like ~50 lines: https://github.com/MCSDWVL/worddigger/blob/master/Assets/Scripts/ScoreBoard.cs
(um actually please don't look at that file since shows you how easy it would be to cheat... ha... haha... no one would do that right?!)
@Sparrow & @porglezomp omg! There are probably bugs but also scrabble is just THE WORST about bullshit 2 letter words. QI IS NOT A WORD SCRABBLE. I DON'T CARE WHAT COUNTRY YOU SAY IT'S FROM.
@Nic V - It will happen! @vilya - you are totally right, the first time user experience definitely needs a LOT of work if I polish this up post compo. Forgetting you have powerups is also a major problem that I have to think hard about fixing. @recursor - awesome thanks for playing!
I like the idea but sadly was playing alone... cool idea though!
beautiful and sickening! It made my head swim!
a link to an exe download is not a web version!
is farmer sam parappa the rapper?
pretty fun game!
shouldn't say web and link to android store!
awww yisss sexy fairies
as others have said the retro feel is sweeeeet. reminds me of the speeder levels in super star wars! Good entry!
one of the first games I've rated that I actually kept playing just for fun! Really great!
wow this was really fun! I wish there was more of an indication of how far the escape was. I felt real terror some times as I tried to make it. I think I got really close but I'm not sure! Really fun great job!
cool idea, like wears waldo! Really hard though, I killed about 200 humans before giving up.
I feel like you have all the elements of a game here, it is just barely missing the compulsion loop. There's a solid feedback loop of digging to get better things to dig. I felt like I wasn't making any good choices though. And the text was gone too fast for me to appreciate it, since I was just clicking like a mad man. Overall though I feel like all the elements are there, it is just an arms reach away from getting its hooks into the player!

really wish I could make the text go faster! Love the art style and the voices are pretty good too.
the design of the game is cool! i like how the chalk 'lives' are arranged in a little box. very cute.
the best game I've played yet! I CAUGHT ONE GOD THAT WAS SO HARD! IS THAT DUDES BUTT CHEEKS HANGING OUT? The pulsing of the butt cheeks made it look like I was fucking the unicorn after I caught it 10/10
The design of this game is pretty cool, it really immerses you in the story. The map was super useful. Good game!
Great Mood, reminded me of teleglitch a lot. The game is simultaneously both too hard and too easy though - it's like super easy thoughtless until I barely mess up and then have to do the whole level over.
This seems like an amazing idea but there's no way I can remember what all the buttons do.
game mechanics are simple and they work, but it would be nice to have instructions for what to do in the game itself, and also it seems more like random shooting than actually figuring out puzzles. a way to keep track of points or levels would be nice too.
Wow my game has the exact same mechanic! Your art is much better than mine though, and I really enjoyed the addition of springs and shooting enemies (two features I had on my list but didn't get around to). Check out my game for a different twist (I went for puzzles involving walls that only certain things could pass through). Great game!
xirion hi - the goomba is a custom version that looks like a puppy instead of a mushroom. The flag I drew from scratch (admittedly in the style of mario). There are no sprites from mario in my game although obviously the style is there!
link seems broken
Best part was painting up the level! Cool game!
feel like I played for 10 minutes without reaching the target.
is stelio kontos greek?!
i liked the idea of using a bubble gun to make moving bubble platforms! Cute Game.
I wanted to like this game but could not figure out how to do anything (no keys or buttons seemed to do anything).
Man I love a lot of things about this game! The converting your enemies mechanic - love it. Really ramps the difficulty and makes it a brain twister. The controls didn't make sense at first until I realized you could have multiples, and then it kind of clicked. Very difficult still. Your music is a trip is it procedural or something? The theme didn't really click for me. Great game.
Pretty fun but things kind of fell apart when I realized there was no limit on spamming attacks (figuratively as well as in terms of the frame rate). Llama animation was super cute!
NIce job. I love the way the elements naturally balance each other: you want to kill things but that makes shooters, you want to get close to shooters for health but want to stay away from the regular enemies. Creates a nice natural tension! Good mechanics design. Could have used some more work in terms of theme though. Overall really fun and solidly made.
Got your webgl build loaded and it ran fine! Solid, fun entry.
Web version is super unplayable! Maybe just take it down... But once I got past that the game was solid.
Great "mobile first" mechanic design! And I love the music!
Like the idea of the "strange" controls but not sure about execution. Did you ever play or hear of "Mister Mosquito"? Really weird japanese game for PSX where you are a mosquito trying to annoy a family.
windows binary crashed my computer with a gnarly BSOD. Productin values looked great though I was excited to play until that happened!
n42k - are you able to run other unity webgl games?
This game was great! Really fun! I was super bummed out when I died and had to start over ):
Love the concept! Wish there was a reset button to get my people back and try again.
the ice skating is so fun! Throw in a half pipe, some tricks, a rail, I would play this!
love the wall dropping effect.
SHITAMARI !!
Love the idea, love the aesthetic, music was on point, sound effects were great! It seemed like I didn't have to do anything to get mario to die though...
I keep opening it in a new tab and getting eaten before I click back and realize it opened! :P
very innovative and funny!
