GREAT game! This one hits all the marks in my opinion. Solid puzzle game design, great engaging graphics, fun music and sound effects, and perfectly fits the theme. I particularly like the curved monitor effect, really gives it a vintage feel. The only piece of criticism is that the controls weren't always responsive, sometimes I had to click multiple times to remove a piece, and sometimes it would never get erased and I'd have to restart the level. It can also feel a bit slow, after seeing my current design fail I want to be able to quickly make changes and see if it'll work right away. But I'm also probably just being impatient haha. My complaints can be easily fixed, but considering the time constraint it is incredibly robust, fantastic job!
Interesting premise but the game play wasn't all there for me. The combat didn't feel very good, I wasn't able to kill enemies without always taking damage. It also seems to just be the same 2 levels on repeat, I think more time should have been spent on level design. But the art is very good! The character and enemies show a lot of expression which is great, and the shop keeper is an interesting one. I also love the music! Would love to see this idea cleaned up and improved, for real!
Great idea, I really like the design of this game! The actual execution needs a bit more work, it's not always responsive for me and it can be hard to place blocks but totally understandable given the time limit haha. Quite polished too, the music is pleasant, funny sound effects, and everything looks cute. And the tutorial was very well done, didn't feel overbearing but got all the important points across. Good job!
LOVE this game! Great premise, fits the theme well, very nicely polished. I think the simple tutorial curve was great, simple start and each level introduced a new mechanic which ended in the main levels. I can definitely see this becoming a full completed game. Nice work!
Well, I killed the merchant and became the merchant and I think that beat it? Overall a neat little idea balancing your health with food rations by either training or meditating. Could make for a neat story based RPG, but the gameplay was a bit dry. It became pretty boring just sitting around clicking either train or meditate with nothing else to do... But the music is great! Overall definitely not bad.
I am up way too late right now but I'm gonna be real I was crying laughing for like 2 minutes straight as soon as it started and I saw the dancing doctor and just took everything in.
I got to about 220 meters! Fun idea, fits the theme well I think. I wish the player had more control in some way, being able to do flips in the air could be fun.
Overall a cool mechanic and very well polished, I particularly like the particles a lot! However the game play feels a bit unfinished, I'm not even sure what my goal is. But it was fun for a bit to blast the rocks with lasers!
It was great to have you on stream working on my first Ludum Dare! Your game came out great, fits the theme very well I think. My only regret is finishing with 99% waffles. Cheers!

Quite the 5 second wonder. Cute little idea that fits the theme, but there's literally 0 game play.
