Wow, the dialogue system was really developed and I liked the art you made, the fog really adds to the atmosphere! I notice some people said they like the music but on my computer there was no music so not sure why that is. Only thing I might suggest is in the title screen the (rain?) was kind of weird because you could only see it in front of the buttons and maybe a slightly lighter background could help it look better.
This game had such a fun spin on the loops theme! I really enjoyed the concept and gameplay although at the beginning I was taking a long time reading the introduction and the game started before I was ready. Maybe don't start the game until the player has clicked the okay on the introduction.
The art is very simple but effective. I really enjoyed the rotation concept which gives older people the ability to comprehend what just happened. :) Overall this was a very original fun game!
@gumemura Ha, thank you for having faith! The size is definitely not optimized at this point....I'll look into ways to trim anything not necessary and see if I can get it down.
@some45bucks Thanks very much for the feedback. Agreed, and we think hints and/or maybe some other distraction or interactions will make it more fun.
Very nice, I tried the desktop version. I was terrible at it but my son quickly found some strategies. I really like how the inverted time period becomes so difficult, but if you make it through then things calm down again. Great idea. Does it have sound? For some reason a lot of Unity games seem to have broken sound on my laptop...probably something with my computer but I couldn't hear anything. Oh, also, I couldn't find a way to quit other than Alt-F4. I tried Esc and Q. Quit button would be good (or maybe I missed it somehow)
I really like the art style you used for this, nice quality doodles! The concept of the plane going in a loop was also an interesting take on the theme and something I have never seen before. The implementation seemed really well done to me so congrats! Although was there supposed to be audio because my computer didn't have any.
I loved the take on a traditional dancing game. Very enjoyable and fun!
I really enjoyed the artwork you have in this game and the cute character! It was also a really interesting idea to loop the characters actions like that, although it was a little confusing at first. The only suggestion I would make is that the text that appears was really blurry on my computer and kind of in a weird place on the screen. But overall a pretty good game!
I loved this game's story and the 3d art was so cute! The ghost idea was also an interesting take on the loop theme and I think you really made it work. Also good job adding a tutorial in the beginning to show the controls, some of the games don't have that and just throw you out there. Only suggestion I would make is maybe make the beginning levels a little bit easier. I think it was like the second level but I screwed up pretty good! :)
Oh my gosh if this game doesn't win the humor section I will be very disappointed in my fellow gamers! Also I agree with @juansabadoperon, I was able to walk off to the left at the beginning and I don't think I was supposed to.
Hi, the visuals looked great though I did have a hard time at first finding portals. I was intrigued by the use of lwjgl....our programmer @funemaker built his engine with it and our game was made with it. Are you using your own engine?
I've been looking for this game, and I finally found it again! You guys did really good on the graphics, it felt very professional and polished. The gameplay wasn't bad either.
The only thing I had trouble with was when you hit something and the camera jerks really hard, it's difficult to figure out what's happening to your machine. I also noticed that you can get stuck in a circle of rocks where there is no way to escape because you keep bouncing off of them. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it is pretty frustrating when this happens, so maybe there is a way to control the spacing of the rocks from each other??? Anyways, really good job! Loved the cats and the graphics!
I played this game for the longest time yet. It took me forever to find all the clues for the door combination, but once I got into the mines it started getting pretty interesting. The jump scare where the skeleton popped out of the locker got me really bad, I wasn't expecting it at all. After that, I was a little more cautious in the mines. I really liked the final scene where you go into the final door. Nice ending. The only thing I might suggest is to make it easier to get into the mine because I almost gave up. Also, I kept wanting to climb the ladders, so it might be better either to remove them, or make them climbable. Overall, really interesting game. Good job!
You did a really good job with the title screen graphics! I liked how the longer you played the more hectic the music got. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, but it helped create the mood. The only thing I would change is the jump height. Whenever you pressed the W key the character jumped REALLY high. I kept bumping my head on the bottoms of blocks, so it was just kind of annoying. Other than that, good game!!!
I really enjoyed the fact that you are CAT exploring a dungeon. The gameplay was good. It was a little repetitive, so maybe you could increase the speed the farther down you get? If you did have the speed increasing, it wasn't enough for me to notice. Also, there are some obstacles that are the same color as the background. I think if these obstacles were made a different color it would be easier to identify. Other than that really good job!!!
Almost forgot... I think the music cuts out after you play for a while.
Nice tunneling game. I love the little "Oh no" that happens when you die. I think that the collision is a bit unfair sometimes and you might consider adding some music with the sound effects. Other than that, good game!
Loved the interesting take on the deeper and deeper theme! The artwork was really well done and the gameplay was better than some of the other falling games. I think if you made the background scroll at a different speed than the obstacles that hurt you it might make it easier to visually distinguish the obstacles versus background. At first, I was having trouble figuring out what not hit, so I would have benefitted from a better visual indication. Overall, very cool game. Good job!!!
Your game took a very different take on the deeper and deeper theme. I liked it! You did really good on making it humorous and the world was fun to explore. Loved beating up the rat dummy. The only thing I see that could be improved is the audio. I don't know if it was just me, but when I got to the place with the mining tracks the wind was really harsh. Overall, pretty good game!!!
I'm so glad I stuck it out to the end. This game was really different from a lot of the other takes on the deeper and deeper theme in a good way. The art was well done, and the storyline was also interesting. Loved how you got to name yourself something random at the beginning... and the CATS!!! Thank you for making this! Good job!
Nice take one the deeper and deeper theme. The artwork and animation style were done very well. I felt like the collision in some places was a little wonky, I had trouble getting up a couple of the branches of the tree. Other than that, I think your game was pretty good. It was funny how you actually had to get higher and higher to hear the deep truth of the moon. Nice bedtime story mood. Good job!
Nice game. I enjoyed the beginning animation when you get kicked off by your buddy. At first I thought you were supposed to avoid all the little clouds on the way down, so maybe there is a way to make it more obvious that you those don't hurt you. Also, it could use some music to go with the sound effects. Good job!
My expectations for this game were low, but WOW was I proved wrong! At first I didn't know what I was doing talking to some blob, but the ending made it all worth it. Very unexpected and very cool. The music was well done and fitted the gameplay. Great job!
I loved the introduction to the game, the camera movement was beautiful. Something about the intro text made me think that I was supposed to go towards the lizard people, but I quickly realized they hurt me. Maybe there is a way to make that part of you mission more clear. I liked the models and the environment, it strangely felt very cohesive. Enjoyed the journey. Good game!
Very atmospheric and brought my heartbeat up. The lighting was very well done and the sound effects added nicely to the mood. I couldn't figure out if you can kill the robot or not. At one point I found a kill switch and activated it, but after that the robot was still active, and I tried many times running though the rooms but couldn't ever find another kill switch.
I MADE IT ON THE LEADERBOARD! I'm Sophia with 15 points. Really fun game. At first I didn't understand the controls but then I looked at you description on the Ludum Dare website and I figured it out. I think it was a nice interpretation of the un-stable theme and that the physics concept was unique. Good job!

It took me a while to understand what all the text on the screen meant, but once I started I couldn't stop. The gameplay is very satisfying and the audio really helps add some personality to the game. I feel like it could have used some background music, or at least some sound effects for when you shoot your projectiles. Loved the lose screen!
I didn't expect to get sucked in, but I did! It was quite fun for a simple text-based game. I really don't know if there is any constructive feedback I can give you. Maybe the text could be different colors to indicate which option you should type; I noticed there were little colored bars on the side, but I couldn't figure out if they meant anything or not. Overall, nice game!
The overall game seemed really polished. I liked the art style and the music fit the atmosphere nicely. I do think the very first area could have been a little bit easier since we're still getting used to the controls. That first disappearing block was really tricky to start off with, maybe it could have just been static blocks at the beginning. Good job!
Good job, enjoyed it. Could definitely use some music and sounds.
Nice twist on the theme. At first I didn't realize the significance of the board in the back, but I eventually figured it out. I wish there were more decisions or rooms with hints, once I knew all the answers were on the board, it wasn't as challenging. Good game!
Good job on your compo! I wasn't really sure what to do at first, but then I started clicking around and figured it out. I got stuck at the apple part. I had collected all of the apples, then I talked to the mom. At that point, I couldn't figure out how to progress. Maybe this is a bug? Also, are you supposed to be able to fly??? Good job on your game! Yo.PNG
This game is an absolute gem, The lore of this game brought me to tears i never thought that something so simple could be so moving.
I made it to the end, and you're telling me the toilet is OCCUPIED?! I guess I should have seen that coming. Liked the concept and the sound effect for the diarrhea. Good job!
Fun game! Really enjoyed the 2D/3D graphics style. The only thing I might add would be like different levels to the battle with different music. I got a little tired of the same battle music after a while, could use some variation. Overall, really good game!
Really cool game. I had never played a game that sped up the graphics based on character movement. It was a fun twist on the theme and enjoyably tense. The art style was real well developed. The only thing I could think to add might be some explanation at the beginning of the game about controls. Also, the text font style didn't really feel like it matched the art style. I might put in some time creating your own font to make it more cohesive. Overall, really nice game!
Had fun playing your game! The waves seemed to get harder at an appropriate pace, and the graphics went well with the concept. Enjoyed the die screen humor. Good job!
@ldp Hi, thanks for the comments!
This game was super fun! It took me a while to get used to the controls and figure out what to do, but once I did I was addicted. Love the detail on the cow tail animation. Great job on your game!
Overall the game is pretty fun but at first i did have a bit of trouble getting the hang of it, and I wasn't to sure how i was supposed to play, but after the first round i got the hand of it and i had a great time. It does seem like the bomb is a little bit over powered compared to the other power ups.
I had fun playing this game. I really liked that you start out in a tutorial room instead of just being flung into the gameplay. It allowed me to get used to the controls. I also liked your low-poly graphics style, it really allowed the mood to come together. Only thing I might tweak is increasing the radius to pick up the sticks/crystals. I felt like the limited radius interrupted the flow of my gameplay. That's all. Overall, really good game!
I couldn't figure out how to get my microphone connected to the game. It wouldn't ever register when I made noise. Interesting idea for a game though!
I really liked the pixel-art style you used for this game! The gameplay felt very smooth and the distribution of enemies felt reasonable. I kind of wish the ninjas at the beginning of the game moved a bit slower maybe, so you have more time to process what is going on when you are still getting used to the controls.
This game was insane! Loved the intro, the concept, the art. I didn't understand at first that you had to spam press the space bar to summon and was just trying to press it once or long press, maybe this could be better worded? Anyways, good job!
Good job! I love the voice acting, it really helps with humour. The Joshs seem a little overpowered, but I'm not complaining as long as they on my side.
Interesting use of the theme summoning. I enjoyed the little stories that appeared every time I summoned a demon. I was unsure how to improve the customer experiences though. Overall, great job!
Great job! I enjoyed the music, it felt so dramatic and somehow humorous at the same time. I must admit I took a long time to get used to the different animal summoning buttons. I think it was an interesting take on summoning that I wasn't expecting. Also, I didn't encounter any obstacles spawning together.
