Love how simple, yet addictive it is. Some music would make it even nicer, but it's a great game anyway.

Playing as a white square has never been so enjoyable.
The mechanics take a little while to get used to but apart from that it's a great entry. Good job!
Oh boy, forgot to vote. :P
Thank you all for taking the time to play my game!
I'm terribly sorry for the "FATAL ERROR" message. Sadly, it appears to be an issue of the software I've used (GameMaker: Studio).
Also, I'm grateful for all the suggestions. Now I feel motivated to expand this into an actual game.
I'm mesmerised by the art style. Good job on that!
I like the idea, but I think you should give the player more control over how the balls are generated. Right now beating a level is all about clicking randomly on the circle until we hit the right spot.
Apart from this, the graphics are very cool!
The visuals are quite impressive. The controls feel kind of weird, but still - a VERY solid entry!
This is a very interesting concept. Given some more polish it would make a hell of a minigame. The biggest problem right now is, as quill18 wrote, perspective. You could fix that by casting player's shadow on the obstacles. Nevertheless, well done!
A very simple, yet cool concept. Also, the humor is great. :)
The platform movement could use some polishing. The cube blocks on walls when falling.
Simple, but gives lots of fun. The animations are hilarious. :D
A simple and elegant puzzle game. Like it!
This looks and feels absolutely amazing. Well done!
Adrable little game, very original. My only complaint is that slapping is too hard, I can't get it to work most of the times. But anyway, well done.
Amazing artwork. Quite fun to play too. Well done.
Charming little puzzle game. Sadly, it's too short to exploit its full potential. Please do expand it!
Fun concept! The shadows system is really cool. Well done.
Great mix of roguelike and platformer elements. Love it.
I love the spaceship model and the music.
I see what you did there! :D
Great! The game's very simple yet extremely fun. I really like character animations. Good job.
Thank you for rating, everyone!
@goerp: Yes, it is midi and it as generated using this awesome online tool: http://www.abundant-music.com/
I'm gonna repeat previous comments - the concept is absolutely great but the game is insanely hard. Have you thought about changing the shape of the "pusher object" for, say, a ractangle?
I absolutely adore the concept. Please do take time after compo and finish it. Great pixel art.
It would be really helpful to be able to move the camera. The light effects are really cool, they help to set nice atmosphere. A solid entry, good job.
The "dirty sicks" mechanic is really fun. The game feels very polished, I love the artstyle. Well done!
Very fun and addictive. The only thing I dislike is how you stop for a while after being hit. I think it would be much nicer to have the character slide instead. But anyway, great game!
Brilliant execution, great atmosphere. It calls for mobile version!
The main problem here is the lack of challenge. You just keep mashing space hoping for the best. I really like the graphics though!
Wow, that is such a simple yet fresh idea! Nice one.
I like the minimalstic graphics a lot. Some sounds would help the mood though. Still had plenty of fun with this. Good job!
Woah, a family entry! This is so cool! I particularly like the sounds, they are simply adorable. Great work guys, keep it up. I hope to see your entry on the next LD too. :)
This was surprisingly fresh and clever. I honestly did not expect that. It needs better graphics though (not fancy, just less off-putting).
Oh God, I love everything about this game. It just needs more random special attacks. Quality work, sir!
It takes a while to understand what's going but after you do it gets pretty fun. I like all the little effects and details, very polished.
The artwork is amazing, fantastic work!
Fantastic visuals and very fun to play. I just wish there was some indication where the bullet is while it goes through the walls. Anyway, wall done.
Puzzle game with a twist, great. It plays very well and I really like the graphics. Awesome job.
Thanks for comments, everyone!
As for similarity to the game presented in Vlambeer's talk... wall, I was heavily inspired by it, not gonna deny. :)
Thank you, this game made me realise the meaning of life. Also, I absolutely love the aesthetics.
You could make the clickable plants stand out from everything else a bit more. It's hard to tell they can be interacted with at first. Other than that, a very solid entry. :)
Brilliant! Sylish, elegant and absolutely addicting. I had troubles grasping the machanics at first but when I did I had lots of fun. Well done.
Wonderfully smooth and responsive. Had a lot of fun playing this. Also, the code is a pleasure to look at. :)
The writing is great and the mood is absolutely phenomenal. I liked it a lot.
As previous commenters mentioned, the fighting aspect is hard to control. Flying around at high speed and shooting feels great (and the explosion effect is awesome) but I simply couldn't hit the opponent. Maybe you could increase the damage radius of the missiles? Or make the ships slightly bigger?
I really liked the overall feel and aesthetics though. The minimalistic graphics fit the space theme very well. And flying around is a lot of fun on it's own, so good job on that.
Also, you had troubles running my game - I believe I've managed to fix that (you won't see the night effect though):

I'm sorry for mentioning it here, but I couldn't find any other way to contact you. Cheers! :)
That's a very cool idea! I just wish the controls were easier to use. Swiping mouse all over the screen gets tiring pretty quickly. I think changing weapons with keyboard and holding the mouse key to charge the throw would be much more fun.
I really liked the game though, good job!
It seems we made two pretty similar games indeed!
Avoiding the farmers is quite challenging, but it pays off when you get to hear the satisfying sound of a sheep being devoured alive. The heartbeat strengthens the mood and adds to the experience.
Oh, and I really liked the tantacles. The tentacles are totally awesome.
