This is a very neat game! I enjoyed how each color represented a different bit. It was hard to get the point of, and I ended up just giving up. Part of what really made this game fun, was that there was there felt like there was a really set back when you died. Different and interesting.
Wonderful job! Keep up the great work! Love the sound, very fun to play. :D
Great game! Love the art style and the sounds. Keep it up! :)
Great game! One of the most fun games I have seen so far! Love the audio! Keep it up! :D
This is by far, THE BEST game I have played this LD. This game met the theme exactly. I love how it simple it was. KEEP. IT. UP. 10/10!
Wonderful entry! I love the game on all levels! A few very small things could use a little bit of polishing, but other then that, amazing!
Great game! I Found a game breaking bug within 20 seconds. Controls are a bit weird. Other then that, 10/10!
Make an in browser version.
Good game, I love the sound. Keep up the great work!
Great game! Loved the lood, feel, and gameplay. Bit of an Amnesia clone though.
Not sure on the point. Laggy. Good try.
Great game! Feels like a text adventure. I love the black and white graphics. Certainly fits the minimalist theme. Great work! :D
@Nick Cash If you jump off three times, it resets the level. Thank you for your input.
Pretty good entry! I got to level 23. Very addictive after awhile. Nice game!
Great Game! Love the graphics, feel, and humor. I love how you throw potatoes at boats. Hahaha, keep it up!
Please make a windows version?
Pretty nice work. I really like the concept, it could have been executed better. Would have liked some sounds. Collision detection seems a bit off. And I could never get to the goal! (I made it to the goal, fell through the floor. -,-) Keep on working.
Does not work for me, also blank .html page.
Nice work. Great sounds, nice graphics. I am an avid player of ROTMG, so to see Oryx's graphics (I know they are free and open and everything, it's just a bit weird.) and be like OMIGOSH SKULL SHRINE WHAAAATT, but kill it in a few hits was nice. Great music too. The levels felt solid and well built. Keep it up! 8/10.
Um, what? You didn't even include a build link! Rubbish!
Hey Man, I was the guy who gave you some support when you were having frame rate issues; I am so glad to see that you finished- I do see what you were talking about though. With more than two or three guards on the screen, my framerate would go down below ten. :c But when this game works, it works well. You executed the mechanics perfect! I love the line of sight. Took me a minute to figure out that by moving my mouse I could see more. Keep it up man. Nice work.
Nice work. I really like your take on the theme. I have only seen a few Blender games this LD, and I know how hard it is. Some sounds would have been nice, but oh well. I could beat the Devil. Nice work, keep it up!
Am I the only one having trouble moving? I seem to be doing so in one or two unit increments. Hmf. Nice work though! Nice sounds, very nice lighting and cool graphics! As others have said, it does not really fit the theme. Still a cool game!
8/10.
Pretty nice. Good audio and funny story. Keep it up.
VERY nice work. I love the idea and it was done perfectly. The sound was nice (if you invested enough points into it. Hahah) And this fit the theme very very well. Keep it up.
Nice little game. Fun. Good graphics. Nice sounds. Good take on the theme. 6/10.
Pretty cool little game. Nice story telling, would have liked some sounds.
Nice work! We have all been there man. Haha. Glad to see you pulled through and at least made something! Nice sounds, good graphics, solid take on the theme. Keep it up! 8/10.
To call this game "polished" would be an insult. This game is a masterpiece! The art is beyond words! It is so simple yet so great. I can't get the stupid oil though. Music was amazing, collision detection was spot on. Amazing work for such a small amount of time. Keep it up! 9.5/10
Nice work! I don't quite get how this fits the theme or really how to play. (I don't get the tracking of opinions.) Really nice sounds! Good work.
Great job! 10 seconds is a BIT to short, I think 15 was better. Tooks me about 20 times to even get to the keypad. Overall pretty great. Awesome graphics, great use of the theme. Could have used some sound and or music, but oh well. (I can't add sound in SDL, so.) Keep it up!
Nice work. Has a goldeneye feel. Haha. Loved the time stopping mechanic. This game was executed really well. Graphics were good, sound was well done. 8/10.
Is the Windows build broken? I just see particles. I think that was your intention. Meh. 3/10.
Eh, nice job, I guess. Good job on creating something, game play was lacking, speedometer did not work and there was no timer. That, and no integration with the theme. 3/10. If you worked on this for like another week or so, I can see a good project! Keep it up!
Awesome work! I really like the simple game start, with the controls and stuff. Visuals were very nice, good controls and overall a nice game. Sound was background (in a good way) and the puzzles were the right difficulty. Keep it up!
I don't get it? What are the controls? I just have looping animations. Pause doesn't even work? Instructions next time, please!
Amazing work! This is such a great game. I did all of the difficulties! I think it is a bit unfair that if anyway runs through fire, then their hair becomes red.
Okay game, I don't know WHY you did AABB collision on the character, but perfect pixel would have been much more suited. Good try on this, it was not executed well. It seems like you tried to do some time travel thing? It was not done well, but nice try.
The sound was nice, I would have liked a jump an things. Anyway, pretty good work. Keep it up.
YEAH BRUV! I ONLY TALK IN CAPS TOO! YOUR GAMES WAS PRETTY NICE. SOUNDS WERE CUTE AND OVERALL LOOK WAS VERY NICE. PLAYING IT ON THE OTHER HAND, THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY. THIS GAME (SADLY) DOESN'T PLAY VERY WELL. YOU UPDATE THE CHARACTERS MOVEMENT BY WHAT IS THAT? FIVE PIXELS EVERY SECOND? JESUS. I CAN'T MOVE FOR SHIT. I AM SORRY BUT I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE ACROSS THE SCREEN. (I am sorry for yelling, I was joking, because of the CAPS thing at the beginning, haha. I was a little bit disappointed with the movement, sounds were nice though! Keep it up. 6/10)
Very nice work! I defused about five bombs before giving up. I loved your take on the theme. The visuals were pretty nice, and I am glad you added sound. AND X0R etc was a bit confusing, but a sort of get it. Keep it up!
Nice! Short, simple! I like it! Nice polished graphics, simple sounds. I like it! 8/10.
Very nice work! Made it to level 14! Cool take on the concept! Nice sounds, good visuals. Nice *pop* when hits a side or something, on the character! 9/10.
Hm, overall pretty great! A few small problems when first playing: I couldn't steer with A/D,Left/Right works fine, though. The power-ups were not well described by their images. And I do not understand how this fits the theme. Music would have been nice since this is a Compo entry, but oh well. The second time I played this, it randomly crashed hm. Nice job for the most part! With just a tiny bit of polishing, this game could be turned into an amazing title. KEEP. IT. UP.
Nice work. The killing a bat sounds like "icky bottle" haha. At least you added sounds. Nice graphics. Good work! 5/10.
Awesome graphics! Great sounds. Nice animations! One of the most polished Gamemaker games I have seen this LD. Very original concept! Wonderful take on the theme. 9.1/10.0. Keep it up!
Nice job. I couldn't find the key for the cupboard. But oh well. :P Good job overall, I loved the real objects integrated with the game, sounds were amazing, music was wonderful. I would have liked a menu, but that is just me. Keep it up.
Pretty nice work! I wish there was sound, but oh well. The art is very nice, and it matched the theme perfectly. I think it is kind of silly that if you just spam spacebar, you get a higher score than when you actually try and time it perfectly. (I had three as my best when timing it almost perfectly every shot, and I had 5 when I just spammed.) I know you are trying to fit to the theme, but maybe if instead of using 10 seconds as an actually time limit, have one second = one chop. This means you COULD (not will) get 10 score.
Anyway, good work! Keep it up!
Good job! Music and sounds were a bit loud. Hahah Good game. :)
Great job! I love this game! I wish there was a way to "fuse" small squares with the thruster rects. Anyway, awesome work. Great physics, nice graphics, glad you made sounds to. That added so much to the game. KEEP IT UP!
Hm, this theme seems to really play to the "button mashing" mechanic. Nice sounds. Good visuals. (My arm hurts though.)
403 error. You do not have the game in your public dropbox folder. Shame.
SUC*FLOMP*CESS! Very nice work! Great noises, wonderful art, nice animations. Cool game!
Amazing work. This game is very beautiful. I don't quite understand how this fits the theme, but it just a work of art. The music, the visuals, I can't phrase this game enough. I love how the concept of scale and size is represented in a 2D space, that is something you doing see a lot in LD games. The puzzles of moving platforms were just the right amount of difficult, and addicting; So hard that is takes you awhile to beat, but so easy that you KNOW you can beat it. 10 also oddly reminds me of Spore. The whole playing with scale, making you feel small, gradually building to a goal, etc. Very nicely done. Keep it up.
Amazing work. I wish I would have seen this game sooner, this game is extremely beautiful. I don't quite understand how this fits the theme, but it is an astounding work of art. How simple yet fun it is, the music and sounds, and the visuals are all great. I love how the concept of scale and size is represented in a 2D space, that is something you doing see a lot in competition games. The puzzles of moving platforms/scaling platforms were just the right amount of difficulty, as well as being addicting; So hard that it takes you awhile to beat, at the the same time easy and simple, that you KNOW you can beat it. 10 also oddly reminds me of Spore. The whole playing with scale, making you feel small, gradually building to a goal, etc. Very nicely done. (This is one of the best games I have seen this LD, it actually made me feel serene for a good 15 or 20 minutes, Thanks.) Keep it up, 9.5/10.
Video please? (I don't have an android.)
Pretty good! I didn't like that the hatchet only swung to the left, and having to run an installer just to play a game was a bit much. Liked it overall, I am glad you added sounds. Keep it up.
The noises are so loud. *shudder* Simple yet nice. Good work.
I feel like my actions don't have a whole lot of impact. Okay graphics, nice sounds. I expect more from a JAM game. Seem to fight the theme pretty well. 3/10.
Looks so cool! I would have liked a Windows build or a video of the gameplay. Oh well!
Won't start, sorry. Running the .bat gives some file not found error, running main.py creates a pygame window and then closes right away. Let me know if you find a fix!
Awesome work! Nice music, good visuals. I love parkour and I speaking as someone who used to be all into the freerunner's mindset; THIS IS THE BEST GAME. Haha, no but seriously nice work. I liked how, like in parkour, there were often multiple paths for each "puzzle" (if you will.) You sound effects were rushed, you could tell, but at least you added them! Keep it up!
Amazing job. I wish there was some sound, I played it for a good 40 minutes so I just listened to some dubstep. Fight well and made me panic. (Consider it.) I LOVE the idea and it was executed perfectly. I would have been fine with like a green rect being the main character. The blue rects are impossible to fight if more than five get in a group. Hahah. The collision detection is spot on. The destruction of levels is great to. Wonderful work! Keep it up.
Nice work! Awesome music, not repetitive at all. This reminds me a lot of the flash game "Let's Go Jaywalking"(http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/622374) Very nice graphics, as I said, good sounds, very nice take on the theme Bookmarking this one for later! Keep it up!. 6/10.
Nice job! There seemed to be lag on the menu, and the first assignment would not register "v" or "e". Some sounds would have been nice if there was sound. Awesome visuals though.
Nice work! I love the idea and it was done very well. Sounds were nice so were the visuals. Keep it up!
Website didn't work for me, either, that dropbox one did the trick though. Nice work! Very nice shaders. Average sounds. I really enjoyed the "randomness" of levels. I knew how to play each level, but I didn't know the order. Good work! 8/10.
Awesome work! I made it to level 23 with 115 over time. Score of 2645. Nice work! Clean look! nice sounds. I think it would be cool to have three sounds and pick a random one when you click a rect. The would add some variation. Anyway, pretty nice work. 8/10.
Something is wrong with the zip?
Won't launch on Windows 7 64 bit. I can extract it fine, but when I try and launch it, it is just a black LWJGL screen for a few seconds, then it closes. Sorry. Let me know if you find a fix! Looks really cool.
This is a tricky one! I sunk a good 40 minutes trying to get the Comm up. Grrr. Nice sounds. Great visuals. 9/10.
Pretty good job, would have liked some more sound, graphics were nice.
Haha, I just clicked on you because I saw your avatar on another game. Anyway, nice game. Pretty buggy sometimes. The first twenty seconds and then the driving scene. The "chase car" became invisible and I kept dying. Could not continue. Very very nice art. Nice sounds. I don't quite see how this fit the theme. Keep it up! Maybe put some play testing in on lower specs computers next time!
Nice little game. Sort of buggy.
BLOATED HIPPO. (Page not found.) Update your link?
Nice job!
This is a pretty great game all around. Nice use of unity, great visuals, and a pretty solid story.
If I did have to gripe about one thing, it would be the sound, except for the the one blip at the beginning, I didn't hear anything. (Maybe it was just the route I took or something.)
Can't wait to see if you do a Post-Mortem!
Keep it up!
Broken link, you must add the .unity3d file in a zip with the .html. Or, even better, put the .unity3d file in the same folder as the .html and just link to the .html public URL. Fix it please!
Wonderful job! I really like the graphics, and the gameplay was great.
One thing I did not like was the the spaceship scene? That was just weird. I could fly off screen etc.
My close friend made a game very similar to this, his art was comparable, but not quite on the same level as yours. I can tell you put a lot, a lot, a lot of work into the art. Hahaha. Good on 'ya.
The keypad code being LD27 was the best thing ever. Would play again. 9/10. Keep it up.
Nice job! Add jumping maybe?
Hmm loading time takes a bit... Nice work! Loading time between levels is a bit long but the gameplay makes up for that! Would have like some times. Very nice work, simple gameplay yet fun. Keep it up!
Awesome job! Love how you incorporated pre-rendered graphics with a game. Made it look very very nice. The music was good to, nice and ambient. Keep it up.
Nice work. Would have liked sound. Very nice collision detection!
Hm, Mine Sweeper, or should I say "Time Sweeper" really doesn't fit the theme. There was no audio, when you die the "loser" screen stays in the background and never goes. Anyway, alright entry. Work on making your own concepts next time maybe. 3.5/10.
Nice work! It is a bit difficult to get the ball in the basket, but it is reasonable level of difficulty. Okay sounds, nice graphics. I feel like the ball falls A BIT slow, making it hard to get off more than one or two shots on most of the levels. Keep it up. 6/10.
I love this! Awesome job for 48 hours. The music is great, the visuals aren't bad for LWJGL and you played to the theme well.
I got to wave 12 on my second try. A good mix of hard and reasonable. I liked the weapon upgrades, G to drop was a little bit eh, but oh well. The GUI was very nice. GOOD work. Keep it up, man. I can't wait to see what you come up with next time!
DINAS SHATIN RANBOWS OUT DEM MOUFZ. Hahah. Very nice work. Nice sounds, good graphics, all around a pretty good game. (Completely original take on the theme, too!)
DINAS SHATIN RANBOWS OUT DEM MOUFZ. Hahah. Very nice work. Nice sounds, good graphics, all around a pretty good game. (Completely original take on the theme, too!) 8/10
Nice work! Very nice sounds, good take on the theme! Animations were very nice. Keep it up!
Nice job! I love the level design and concept. I would have liked a little more sound, other than that, there isn't much to complain about! Hahah keep it up!
Post Compo review:
A lot of the things I wanted you to add in the next version, you did. There seems to be more sound, the sniper seems just a little bit less accurate and the game is more easy to navigate.
Somethings I wish to see in a future version:
-Restart button
-Soundless/low specs version
-Various level changing improvements (With an FPS below 10, the reliability of level changing goes down three fold.)
Glad to see that you are updating this!
Amazing job! I love that you can pick your name, makes the game THAT much funnier. Keep it up!
Thanks for the input!
@N0_Named_Guy: Thanks! (Was Level 3 okay? Some problems with it on Mac.)
@Aaron4576: Awesome opinion! I agree, if I could make it more complex, I would. I was mostly worried I would get the player lost with corridors, complex button puzzles, missions, and such.
@Gus: Great advice! I agree, I have had A LOT of experience with other "game tools"
I used Unity for a solid year before moving to Python, then a good three months with Python before C++. I have unfortunately only had about three weeks of C++ experience. :C But anyway, I am no stranger to the wise balance of engines, young one. XD
@Steve: Some other people are having problems with Level 3. (Mac specifically. What OS are you running? 32/64 bit included please.) I am working with other people to find a solution. Sorry for now.
@Loyaly: 1.)I know, sorry. I don't know how to fix it right now, but it has something to do with how I check for the strings. 2.)Winning the game just does a break; so it goes to the function that called it (Level 6 in this case.) 3.)That is a way of giving the player another chance. I can't think of a way to store what input the user is on, so I just go back to the first input of the function. Sorry.
Thanks again guys!
Nice work. Polished graphics, good sounds. Solid concept! I would hate to be the vampire though. 8/10.
Damn, this game is so hard. This is for sure in the top three best games I have played this LD. music is great, so hard, fast paced, soundtrack please? Keep it up!
Nice work. Polished graphics, good sounds. Zombies are bit overdone though. Some of the zombies look like creepers how they walk without arms and their feet just march on. Very cute. 4/10.
8/10, sorry. (4/5, but I put 4/10 DOH!)
I saw that you gave me a trophy. Thank you so much. I was going through a really rough day, I really really needed that today.
I really loved this game. The sounds and music were very nicely done, The art was pretty nice, and the idea was very well done! I would have liked a sound for when the player caught a fish, got sticks, etc. The first time I died, I had caught two fish, I just didn't have time to eat them. (Because I saw that I had caught it last second.) The buttons were just a little bit too small, gut otherwise; I LOVE the GUI. Getting a fishing net was actually kind of hard, but once you get it and get a few fish it is pretty easy. However, if you make it to Day: 20, then you pretty much have beaten the game, because you lose (1h/s Hunger per second.) And ten days in game is just 100 seconds. (Or, 100 hunger I.E how much hunger you have.) I think that if you are standing still and you have a fishing net, that number should be higher. Two or Three hunger per second perhaps. This would make the player move around while fishing a little bit more and also make sure once you get to 20 days you cannot just stand still.
Anyway, very nice work. I really enjoyed it. (And it was all in Java! Whoa!) 9/10.
~Blade
Pretty nice. I am glad you added sounds, and the physics were a nice touch. Somethings I would like improved.
-Sling shotting the ball seems to be pretty unreliable and with some balls they would fly miles even with the slightest touch.
-The sounds were unrealistic, and annoying. (At least you add them. More than I can say for my games. Ha.) Consider adding background music.
-The only way to close the program is to kill the process (add a quit even. :c)
Nice work! Keep it up! 7/10 Might play again.
Alright for a first entry. Work on your game development skills and I think you can really make something great.
Just some suggestions on this game:
-Have the direction key in the actual game. (People forget easily.)
-Add some sounds (That is easy in Java.)
Anyway! Nice job!
Great! The graphics are awesome. Audio is nice. Can't wait to see what you have to make later.
Nice work. I really enjoyed this, after a bit of playing, the gameplay started to dull, but what do you expect from a hot-dog eating simulator? I am glad you added sound.
My record: 22!
Amazing game. I like this a lot. I probably sank five or ten minutes trying to beat it. I am glad you added sound, controls were nice, all around good job. Keep it up, man.
Windows build asap please. :c
Nice game! I love games like this without a HUD or anything. Looks really clean. No AIR: 5 I hate that. Interesting concept of plants giving off air when they get agitated. Nice work. 8/10.
Meh. This game seemed flat and bland. The window was too small, the game's instructions were not clear, the music was repetitive. Overall okay job. I do not get how to play really, but it matches the theme pretty well. I seem to be stuck on LV 1? 3/10.
This game made me feel oddly sad. Hmm. The Sometimes life is a b*tch really got to me. Nice job. Great sounds. Nice polished graphics. I really love your take on the theme. I really like how you didn't punish the player for not making the "10 second". The world just went on without them. Like life.
9.5/10.
Score: 429;
Very nice work!!!
I love the sounds and the visuals were very good!
The particle effects were very nice too.
I think it would have made the game a bit better if certain things went away after the next thing was added. I.e MORE COLOURS. Hahah. Awesome work. especially for a first game!
8/10! Keep it up man! I would love to see more from you. (Did you study programming at university or was this all self taught? Thanks!)
Nice job! I love the sounds. Keep it up!
AWESOME JOB! I love your take on the theme. Maybe it is my inner third grader coming out, but peeing in plants and things are just too funny for words.
Things you could improve on:
-You move just a BIT too slow. (Is it even possible to pee in the men's room on the first level?)
-Some sound would be nice, but oh well. (Who am I to talk. Hahah.)
Keep it up!
Pretty nice work! The sounds are great. The visuals are interesting. I would have liked clearer controls. (The first floor took me a good five minutes before I knew how to play. Hah.) Nice light maps! Keep it up!
Good job! I loved the animations, and the character select was a nice touch. There is no way to switch characters if you kill Mr T, then you just stuck with the machinic girl. Keep on making stuff!
Hm? This game is okay, seems a bit bland. Nice sound effects!
I wanted to say sorry, you wrote such a nice and long review of my game and I pretty much gave you rubbish. Sorry Motty.
Very nice work! Cute little destruction game. I don't really think the the theme was designed for building and or destruction games, but you made it work! Nice sounds, good graphics. Alright animations. 8/10
This game is alright, I guess. I got stuck once I got the key, got in the house, went in the right door and went right. With the forks, and bowl...Puking or something? 4/10.
Very nice work! I loved your game. Your take on the theme was interesting and it was done pretty well. I have never had a "blue screen" but I think this was the perfect simulator. Hahah. Very nice visuals. I wish the computer monitor would have had rounded edges with transparency not just a play rect, oh well. Sound was great too. Catchy beat, but not irritatingly so. Keep it up! 8/10.
Update; the day after I played this game I had my first blue screen of death ever. Then within 24 hours I had another one. I have been good for a solid three days now but YOU GIT DA DEVIL SINS BOY! YOU GOT 'EM. *wags finger*
Nice job. I love the animation the briefer makes with his little arm. XD Keep it up.
Nice work! I like a lot of the models. When the tank, er, is that what it is? Hahah. When the tank mounts you it looks like it licking your face, how cute. Keep it up.
I can only see a small part of the screen and the cube moves FAR TOO SLOWLY to do ANYTHING. 1/10. No sound.
Why not just make a web build? You made it in Unity with Dropbox, that is like the easiest thing ever. *sigh*. Anyway. FERTILIZATION COMPLETE. Wonderful work on this! Nice sounds. Solid controls. Good game! The way you gain speed reminds me of bhopping in CS:S! Keep it up!
Amazing job, great game. I LOVE games that let me flip anything. Playing as a rect and doing ninja back flips is the great in the game. XD Nice job. KEEP. IT. UP. Glad that you added sound. The installer was a bit annoying, but it was worth it. Hope to see you making games in LDs to come!
It has been more than a week since I rated this game, it has held the test of time! I play it every other day and I have gotten pretty good at landing flips. This is still not boring! You are in my top three for sure! (Unless I find a new favorite in the next 80 hours, this will mostly like me crowned THE BEST GAME OF LD.) Very nice work!
"Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to techblogogy.site88.net"
Just a black screen here too. Windows 7, 64 bit, Google Chrome.
Oh my, this game is quite simple, and amazing, but if you think about it at a deeper level this game is rather dark. The sounds and graphics very amazing. I love the concept. I think not adding a timer made this game loads better. The use of light was very good. I don't deal with dark or sad things very well; I couldn't play more than twice because the dying animation was too much for me. Knowing that I killed this poor little creature was just too much. Maybe games need more of that. I felt oddly responsible for it. That was the worst part. Anyway, great work. Maybe a bit too dark for me. HOW DOES THIS GAME NOT HAVE MORE RECOGNITION?! GAHH. Keep it up! 9/10
Windows 7 please. Also, why are you distributing this way?
Hey man! Glad that you finished! I saw your posts when you were having doubts and making updates and stuff. Nice job! I am glad that you at least added SOME sounds. :P The dying sound, was that you just BASHING your microphone about? XD Pretty great otherwise, nice graphics, well done. Keep it up man!
Alright job. There are some real vital things lacking, but pretty good over all. Some sound would really be nice. At least you made something! Keep it up!
Pretty good work! I love the concept. I know it would sort of take away from the point of the idea, but a time would help loads. As others have said, the flickering is kind of annoying and it is just a little bit buggy. Sound was amazing. Keep it up!
This game is alright for a first timer; Some things that are nice about it:
-The graphics.
-It fit the theme well
-It works.
-I could not find any bugs.
Somethings that need improving:
-Choosing options needs some work, there is no feedback on which one I picked.
-I wish there was some sounds. Even just BLEEP BOOP means loads.
-The animations were nice, but WHITE/WHITE (White...Dust? On white text) did not go well and I couldn't read the text.
I think with just a small amount of work, this game could be very very good. Keep it up.

Nice work! Your sounds were very nicely done. The graphics were pretty good. The paintball effect was very good. This was a very nice take on the theme. +one to the seconds was a bit small. Two would have been better. Keep it!
Nice job! I really like the button mashing mechanic. Hahaha. I played through the whole game, saved the grand master and had my curse lifted! The animations were really nice to. Keep it up!
Nice work on making something! I am not a fan on how I have to click to restart. I couldn't get past the "Click and drag part." Good humor, fit the theme well! 7/10.
Nice work! I loved the sound, the graphics were really nice. I could not beat Level 2. The editor was very well done. Keep it up!
GAME OVER?! SPOODMOON NUUUUU!!!111!!! Very nice work. I know how hard this must of been to do with LWJGL. Would have liked some sounds considering it was in the jam. Collision was very nice. Good idea and it was done well. 8/10.
What? Is your game the crate lighting game? What? Remove your UNPLAYABLE entry maybe? Am I supposed to rate the crate game? Er? Sorry, I guess.
I am sorry I did not play your game, I can't deal with dark things too well... I am glad you rated my game thank you.

AMAZING WORK! This is one of the first LD games this go round where I have seen stealth done well! I LOVE the lights. The music is GREAT and it has a very simple and clean UI! I love this game! The screaming of people is a bit unreliable if you start harvesting right near a guard and then run off, the person you were just biting screams because you are near them. Which gives away your position. Bookmarking this one for later! 9.5/10!
I thought this game was "meh". The controls aren't very good. (No influence to your direction after you jump, except straight down?!) Good controls are a make or break with platformers especially ones with time limits and traps. Not only do you ask for ratings, but your game was not that great. Sorry if I am the only Grumpy Jim here, but I didn't really enjoy your game. The sounds were okay, the music was eh. (Did you make the music?) The visuals were pretty nice. The only way to quit the game I found was to end the process. Animations were okay. You made this in GameMaker, so I don't know why you didn't export to multi-platforms.
Work on your game skills, the game itself aside from the controls and lack of multi platform support was "eh" but a lot of games in LD are "eh" I think if you work a bit harder and put in some more time, you could that "eh" into an "okay".
This was another good example of good graphic not making a good game.
3/10
Nice job! For some reason this kind of reminds me of Little Big Planet, I really really liked the different pointer types, and 1,2,3 was a good way to switch. Music was nice, visuals were well done. The time was a bit annoying, but other than that, get it up!
Nice work! I love the sound and the visuals were very nice. I think this game used Unity's physics engine in a pretty cool way. Keep it up!
This game is awesome! Nice take on the theme! I find it hard to believe this game was made in 48 hours because of how well it well it was done. The leveling thing is the great. I am a sucker for anything with exp. Lolololol. Nice job.
Keep it up.
Video of gameplay please!
Pretty nice work! I love you take on the theme, and it was done well. This reminds me of other sniper games. The people's faces were very funny. Sounds were good. Tablet was nicely modeled. 8/10.
(I made it to level 7 or 8.)
Nice work! Graphics feel nice and polished, levels are very nice and the randomization is well done. I would have liked some sounds and the collision detection feels a bit so-so. 6/10!
I can't seem to even find one way? CUT WIRE CUTE BLUE WIRE SAVE WORLD SMASH IT. Nothing seems to work.
Nice sounds, good visuals. Instructions would have been nice. 5/10
Broken link.
Windows 7 64 bit Google Chrome.
"The application was unable to start correctly(0x000007b)" I can not play it. I expect better from a jam game. Specs:

Fix or Die. XD
WOW. This is a master piece. The art is very polish. The music is just amazing. Very nice work. Puzzles were great too! I feel like there is potential for a mobile game out of this! Keep it up! 9/10
No link?
Not too bad for a first timer. Took me three times to figure out that I can't do anything. Hahaha. Nice job. Love your take on the theme.
Such a great game! I LOVE this kind of thing, you executed the theme perfectly, cut the idea down to it's basics, and added small bits until it was very nice. Keep it up.
Nice work! Since this WAS in the Compo, I think it would have been more acceptable to make your own font using something like Fontstruct. (Everything MUST be made in the 48 limit.) Anyway, I saw your earlier posts, looked great right from the start. So glad you finished. Your sound is nice, keep it up.
Awesome game! Bouncing is a little bit unreliable, and the Y seems to have a maximum, loved that you added sounds. Graphics were very nicely done! The tears at the end were the best to. Keep it up!
I can't run it sorry. It has been more than a week; Some people just don't care. I am tempted to give this a one star rating across the board just because you haven't updated it, said anything, or even seem to care. But I won't, because that is unfair rating. Update it.
Amazing work! The shaders are beautiful. The sounds and music was VERY well done. I love the idea for the game, and it was done really well. Is it possible to beat it? Whenever I got to turn 20 or so, the ships would just over power me. I thought it was a bit annoying when a shield dies you can't fill put another one in that spot again, although it was realistic. The GUI was great! I love your take on the theme. I don't think this game was very well fitted to the theme seeing as the turn based angle seems rushed, I don't know maybe that was just me. Anyway, it was very good and I think that if you wanted to you could easily sell this with a little more polish. Keep it up! 9.5/10
Missing dll file. "The program can't start because MSVCP110.dll is missing..." Please compile with static dll.
First try "You survived!" very short but seems okay. No real connection to the theme. Not great for a jam game. No sound. 5/10.
Very nice work. I really like your application icon. This game has a classic "wave" feel. I would have really like some sounds, but oh well. The art here is great. The zombies look very nice and the character looked great. Animations would have made a good game great. The flashlight was a bit weak, I would have liked a flashlight upgrade or something. Maybe a "battery" that flashes the whole screen for ten seconds or something? The game seems to be fond of getting stuck on walls. This has something to do with your collision detection. I can tell for sure that you are using rect collision instead of perfect pixel. Perfect pixel would have been very good for something like this, but again, I get it. Also, are you aware of the pythagorean theorem? a^2 + b^2 = c^2? Yes, that is quite evident here. I.E: say you move your character with an increment of five. (x += 5; y += 5;) that means that you will be moving about seven units (7.71067811895476) if you hold up+right, up+right, down+right, or down+left. That is how I would just tread through zombies and got ALL TEH AMMOS. (I finished with over 2000 ammo. Hahah.) Ammo also should have been less frequent. ANYWAY great work! Keep it up!
I am sort of heasitent to say so, but I think this just may be the best game I have played this LD.
This is a copy of http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=18900
What's up with that?!
Nice job! I love seeing simple game like this! Straight to the point, held to the great to the theme! Keep it up. (:
Make a video please! (No iPad or Android.)
Very nice work! This was my 100th game! (I was saving it for this!) Hah, no but really I loved the graphics, sounds, and overall Mood of the game was very good. The music was nice as well. This game really seemed to fit the theme well and had a great overall feel. I am running 2GBs of RAM, and 2.0GHz processor; some levels ran fine whereas others would drop into the single digits of FPS. I seemed to be found of getting stuck on walls. I could not reliably shoot enemies and found it hard to aim. Keep it up!
Make a video of your game please! (No mac here. Hahah)
Awesome work! I put over 40 minutes in this game! I saw this for like the 100th time though, stealth really doesn't fit the theme. I know your point was to get these like streamline speed runs, but it felt more like a stressful Hotline Miami to me. That is another thing! This game is very similar to Hotline Miami! I love that. Nice polished graphics, good sounds, nice animations. 8/10.
Nice job! I liked your take on the theme. Maybe learn how to do repetitive keystrokes, and possibly add more levels. Keep it up!
Nice work. Good sounds. Models were a bit off. AI is a bit hard. 8/10.
The monsters always seem to get me right when I get out of the door. Would have like some sounds. Pretty nice monsters! 4/10.
Woo! Final score of 600! Nice work! Good sounds. Random concept, but it was done well. Nice take on the theme!
Good job! Very nice take on a classic style. I am glad you added at least some sound, haha. Keep it up.
Nice work. Cool concept, solid take on the theme. Nice sounds. 8/10.
Nice work, very nice music okay graphics. Sad concept though. 8/10.
Nice work! This is the poorman's Kerbal. Hah. Good job on photoshopping the background. Haha! It took me a few tries to launch. Nice sounds. Slightly below average graphics. Fit the theme very well. Keep it up! I hope you make more stuff in the future. 6/10; Not bad for a ~18 hour build.
Lasted 14 rounds! Nice work! Great sounds, solid visuals, original concept! 9/10. Keep it up!
Nice work on making something. 6/10. Very nice graphics.
Very nice job! I love the concept, and it was done in such a way that it matched the theme. It would have been nice if there was some sound. But oh well. Good work. Keep it up!
Hey, I saw you rated my game, thank you. As it is not in LD style, please do not post OMFG PLZ GO PLI MI GAIMZ: htpp://nobodylikesspam.com/gaimz/
On to your game:
Honestly, I like your sounds music, etc, and your visuals. I don't like the controls, click and point is sort of annoying, the timer goes negative (takes away whole point of game.) And I got stuck on the toilet. It was sort of fun, but in a tongue and cheek kind of way.
I think if you really want to make games, you easily could. I saw a lot of potential in you, in this game. But it was not executed well. Keep working on it and I think you can make some great things.
Nice job! I loved the floor colors to match the safeness of the area. I really enjoyed the rumbling when you get the safe, to. Keep it up!
Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I love the game, the story is sad, but the graphics, the sound, all of it is absurdly beautiful.
I don't know how to run it. Readme?
Great job! The physics in this game are amazingly satisfying.
Sounds is nice.
It is a little short, but oh well.
Keep it up!
Good job! I got number three on the scores! Woo! Awesome game, pretty nice graphics, good music and sound. There seemed to be a bit unreliability with the timer. But that is alright. I think there should be a sound when you get a kill. Something simple. But still. NICE WORK! Keep it up!
Nice work! Very nice sounds, graphics and animations and everything were very well done. The boss took FOREVER to kill. I hate how you can't hit him sometimes I would just be PUMPING lasers into the ship and he would not die. Anyway, great work! Keep it up!
Extremely hard. No sound, no animations, not the best graphics. I would have like a difficulty setting. 2/10..
Pretty nice game! I really enjoyed this! The sounds were nice, art was pretty good, and all around very enjoyable. I only 134 times, and beat the game. Hahah. The background music was not quite fitting, but I am glad you added it. The way the game punishes you (dying and restarting) is very meat-boy esque. I like it alot. Some things I think you should improve would be (All very small things, this a REALLY good game.):
-Add a menu with credits, about, etc.
-Pause
-Maybe some more fitting music.
All in all, this is a great game. It lasts a nice amount of time, and was certainly well made given the time limit. (This isn't even a Jam game! Ha!) Great job, keep making games.
Doesn't work on Windows for than a few seconds. Sorry.
Hey man, seems like a good game. But a lot of people (including myself) do not have lua. So you need to compile with static lua. lua52.dll is missing. Please compile and put it back up.
Fun game! Reminds me a lot of Portal. Nice graphics, okay sounds. I find if you through boxy friend into the pit at the beginning you get this error;
___________________________________________

Sound gets annoying when you HAVE TO push boxy friend into the ci-*BEEOOOP*ceiling*BEEOOOP* and the*BEEOOOP* sound keeps on playing over and*BEEOOOP* over and *BEEOOOP* over. Haha. Resolution and window size is a bit large for my monitor, and I couldn't see all of the screen at any given time. Keep it up!
This looks great! Too bad I don't have an Android. I would play it other wise.
I can't get past 2m. Ah well. Nice game! Cool take on the theme. I thought the gameplay was pretty boring. Would have liked some sounds. Great graphics! Keep it up.
Nice game! Very original premise. Nice graphics, good sounds. It seems like whatever peeler I pick, it is always the default. Oops. Haha, nice work!
Hmm, I can't seem to play with keyboard?
Very good work. Solid visuals, cool concepts. Loved the 'mouth sounds', haha. I don't really understand how this ties into the theme much, but great job nevertheless. Keep it up!
I can't run it. "A Java Exception has occured." is the error when I try and run it.
That is all that the error message says.
Oh yeah, OS: Windows 7 64 bit, haha. Sorry.
Good game! Wonderful graphics, very simple yet straight to the point models, nice lighting. Cute sounds! Keep it up.
My record is six kills. Nice sounds, very hard AI. The first time I played this game, the controls didn't work, seems to be fine, now. Haha. Keep it up!
This game is amazing. The sounds, the mood, the art, the story, it is all very moving and made me feel oddly empty inside. I had some problems with collision on some of the platforms, where I would be 100% and fall off, or I would run into invisible walls, or just not be able to move. I had to restart the game several times. With a game like this, it is hard to tell if those things are intentional or not. This game certainly made me think and feel. I love how you play with visual distance to represent uncertainty and things. Amazing work. 10/10.
Yes! Beat it! Awesome game. Great sounds, nice models, cool idea, well executed! I don't really get how this relates the theme, but good job! Took me awhile to understand how to use the shield and block. I had some mild performance drops which made it hard to hit him, sometimes.
Amazing game! Really enjoyed playing this. The sounds are very good and pretty 'horror bringing' Haha. Very scary game in a way, really made me sort of uncomfortable, the thought of being in a airplane crash is horrible. Anyway, very solid game, cute and polished graphics, GREAT take on the theme! Keep up the good work!
Awesome game! Really cute graphics, top UI, and overall a lot of fun! Really love the 'bad guy' model with the little eyes. I am really glad you added some sounds. Shadows are nice, as are the blood(?) particles that come off of the guy once you shoot him. I feel like the bullet counter is a bit of a waste, but eh, leaves room for DLC! Haha! Keep it up!
Pretty good game, the sounds are super loud, pretty nice graphics. Very funny story. As others are saying; I am getting TERRIBLE FPS, MAYBE 3FPS. Oh well. Very nice and polished menu Keep it up!
Awesome game! I didn't know how to play at first, but after I read the instructions, I was good. Some sounds would have been nice. Graphics were okay. I really enjoyed playing this game, solid story. Haha. My record was like 26000m or so. Great work and original take on the theme! I think use of the down arrow should have been restricted by also sucking fuel while holding down. Keep it up!
Nice game! Graphics are polished and animations are well done. Basic mechanics of the game seem polished, yet the rest of the game feels and is unfinished. More sounds would have been nice. Wonderful mood! Flashlight does not seem powerful enough. Nice work overall.
Nice game, okay graphics, great music. A little bit dull and the spikes come in a pattern, so once you learn that, it's a little bit too easy. Keep it up!
This a great game. Reminds me a lot of Edmund McMillen's game "Aether", that alone in space, drifting, feeling. Amazing graphics, wonderful sounds, great calming music. Keep it up!
Amazing game. Different in a cool way. Would have liked some sounds. Very creative art. Keep it up!
@GreaseMonkey thank you very much for the input! You seem to be in a clear mind and I appreciate you didn't sugar coat your thoughts. The physics are very clunky, I agree with you. Even though it's only been about a week and half since I made this, I have taught myself much better physics, proper jumping, more solid collision, etc. I like that you are not forcing your views onto me, and wish for me to learn at my own pace. I am not an artist, and as you said, that shows. Haha. This was first LD game to even have art, let alone graphics, so give me some room in that department. I was hoping they would make you tear your eyes, aw, mission failed. Conveyor belts sound like an interesting idea. Now that I know how to implement better physics and have a better overall design structure, I could probably implement okay conveyor belts in a number of days. I agree with what you are saying as far as this game being a pushover, I sort of agree. I wasn't really proud of this game, and I didn't like the theme. This LD I didn't have as much drive to make something I was proud of. As you can see from the progress I have made, I used this as a learning experience. Again, thank you very much for your input.
I am running Windows, so, take this with a small grain of salt;
Okay game, collisions are a bit off and sometimes I will just randomly fall through the floor or be launched into the air. (You can walk through the wall to the left at the start, jump into it and get flung up, etc.) Rather confusing layout of the level.. Very nice sounds. I like your art style. 8/10 times when I would restart the game, I would be flung into the air and not be able to do anything for up to ten seconds before going into or through the ground. Very funny story, I love the dialogue and it feels funny and innocent. You can fall off of the platforms and there isn't a way to reset? The camera just goes to the middle of the sky? Anyway, fun game overall, the base 'engine' seems pretty solid, could use some tweaking on the collision, but overall good work!
Keep it up!
(Make sure to check back on my game as I replied to your comment, in detail.)
From what I saw, this is a great game! Very cool concept for my as I LOVE stocks. Cool and usable interface. Although it says my game is running at 59-85FPS, the game won't register input after the menu screen and I have to force quit it via task manager. Keep it up!
Sounds are annoying, graphics are nice, music was great. It is too obvious who the traitor is, and that made me over think my choice. Good game! Unique take on the theme.
Also missing MSVCP110.dll.
I really don't like installers. Nice game, good sounds. Solid graphics, okay use of the theme. I felt like the stealth elements could use some work on the detection side of things, but overall nice work. The checker pattern on the floor confused me the first few times I played, as I thought they were blocks.
I can't find any other ending? Very nice music. Pretty nic sky box.
Really good game! LOVED the art, the art is among the best art I have seen ALL LD. Nice sounds, solid story. Some of the game play is a bit tricky, like how you have jump to Shift, that messed me up and those small seconds are critical in these types of games. Very solid platforming and collision detection was amazing. I guess I have trained myself with poor collision detection and bad physics, so this game was really hard for me because it did those things so well. Haha. I got a bit confused on the level design and found it hard to know where I was supposed to go. Jumping felt a bit weak as I couldn't do some of the puzzles. I found some little 'holes' in the game where I could like glitch through walls and beat a puzzle quicker or something. Overall, VERY nice game!
To everyone complaining about the files not being in a .zip: When you go into the 'Game' folder on the Dropbox website, you can choose the 'download as .zip' option. Anyway, on to the game; this game is very good, the graphics are polished, the art style is very nice. Some of the menus and things are a bit stretched on my screen, but I think that that is my end. UI is nice and simple to use. Sounds are very good and the music doesn't get too repetitive. The gameplay seems a bit monotonous, but it's still sort of fun. I would have liked at least one way to win, but hey, as you put it, 'You cannot win.' Hahaha. Keep it up! I look forward to your next Ludum Dare, great work.
Nice work! Graphics are very nice, gameplay was quite simple and easy to grasp. I would have like some sounds, and some improvement on the UI. I don't know if "GO!" ever disappears from the screen, but the first few times I waited for it to, it should say "GO!" for one second then go a white screen so you can tell where you are going. Interesting concept! Keep it up!
Nice work! Good graphics. Changing the spot that you set the cannon was confusing. UI was easy to use and well laid out. Keep it up.
This game reminds me of Super Hexagon. Tight controls, good mechanics. Would have liked some sounds. I feel like it can be a bit unfair when the colour changes as I often missed the power-up and I died unfairly. Anyway, good game.
Good game, solid sounds, nice physics, good art. I agree that the level design could use some work. I often didn't know where to go.
I don't really like this game, there is no clear objective, and because there is nothing like score or something, there is no way to tell how well you did, or if you even did anything? I would randomly get sent back to the menu screen and never saw 'bacon'. Nice skybox and music. Really made a scary mood.
The handling on the player is a bit slow. Nice sounds, great graphics.
Awesome game! This is so cool! Nice sounds, good graphics, funny story! Very humorous! The best LD game I have played this go round so far! Keep it up! I found that if you type the seed as 42, then directly fire, it wins. Hahaha.
Fun game, great music! Nice lighting effects. I feel as if the 'sway' on the bouncer is too much as it seems like he would never stop. Sounds are nice as well. Instructions not clear, I do not know the objective. Keep it up.
Good game! Very polished graphics, good tutorial, nice game play. Nice that you added sounds! Keep it up.
Head bob is too much for this game, reminds me of Guncraft and L4D2 had a weird baby. I get pretty bad performance issues, but I think it's my end as nobody else is complaining about it. I agree with other people that there needs to be an 'ouch' sound for when you hit zambies. Some of the sounds a bit much for me. (too harsh.) Pretty good work!
Awesome game! Really nice use of the theme, great sounds, good graphics. I like you style, as the person who made the models cetainly has a 'way' to them. Music very odd. The 'run quick, aim well, do over and over' aspect of this game makes me think of Counter Strike. Ha. Reminds me some of the game SUPERHOT haha. Great work!
I played the early version of this game that you posted on Twitter, I think that this game is really fun, although I am having terrible performance issues? I am sure it's my end, but I am only getting like 3FPS at best. The older version that you put up on Twitter played fine though. Nice work. (I did not rate this game as I feel the performance on my machine is not an accurate representation of this game.)
Cannot play, upon clicking enter after reading the text on the tournament option, the game closes. Seems polished.
Mediafile is a bad way to host your downloads. I keep getting pop-ups. *sigh* Such a great game. I love the graphics. Sounds are nice, game was well executed. Keep it up!
Awesome game. Good graphics, nice sounds. Would have liked a bigger scope / less magnification on the scope. Keep up the good work!
Nice game! Cool graphics, pretty solid mechanics, and good gameplay! I had pretty bad performance issues in online version, but once I downloaded it, it was fine! I feel like the controls could use some work as it took a long time to get used to how to move. Would have liked some sounds! Solid concept, cool take on the theme! Very well executed.
Nice AI, would have liked some sounds. Okay graphics. I wasn't able to beat it. I really liked the ability to see where you were going to shoot by holding right mouse button! Awesome feature! Keep it up!
I don't want to install DLLs to run a game; Why did you include a level editor without having a more finished game? From what I saw it looks cool!
Really fun an interesting game. The sounds are nice, art is good, and the gameplay is solid. I really liked seeing my waves being created as I made them. I found this game hard to play with a keyboard, but it was quite fun and easy with a controller. Good work!
At first, I thought this game was rather boring, the ants are meh, meh graphics, but, after playing for a little while, I fell oddly in love with this game.
I really enjoy building little paths for my ants and watch them discover it, making routes up to the surface, and seeing them come up for food. Somethin' magical about ants, man. Keep up the good work.
After starting that game, I can't seem to do anything? The is responsive and fine, but none of my actions seem to be doing anything. Because I don't feel like I know how to play, I am not rating this game, sorry.
Nice game, especially for your first LD!
It took me about five minutes to understand what to do, but once I got it, the game was enjoyable and quite relaxing in a way. The sounds were rather jarring, so I muted my audio. Nothing personal, they were just too much. If you added just some nice ambient sea music, with very soft *plinks* and *plunks* when you do actions, it would just be too good to be true. Aside from that the gameplay was pretty nice. I have secretly always wanted a maintenance game where you are just always running back in and forth fixing things, bringing resources around, and keeping your base up to snuff. Games like Rust and Minecraft worked for the most part for me, but this is like those games in their purest forms.
It was not at first clear to me how to get resources, I would just tap once on a resource and get nothing and decide they weren't the correct resource or something. Another secret gaming desire I have always had is game about leveling. Literally. I just want to do an action, watch a bar go up, the skill number go up a little bit and when I do it 9000 times, the game pats me on the head and gives me the ability to do that action again, but a little bit better. The more actions I can preform and the more little bars I can make go up, the better. This is why I played WoW. If you created a var to handle skills for each resource, and added a couple more resources, each resource controlling the skill vars, I would play nothing else; ever.
The graphics were solid, the gameplay was okay, and the sounds were LD quality. (What do expect from a game that does the graphics and gameplay so solidly in 48 hours? You can't have it all.)
One little thing I did have, that would be rather easy to fix, the background moves whether you are actually moving in the gamespace, or not. This is most evident when you continue to walk into an item in your base. At first, I thought I could push my base around because the background was moving when I would push into the items. A simple if(collideWithItems()){ no push } could fix this just fine.
The .zip also contains both the 01 version, and the 02 version. It is unclear if this is done with intention.
Anyway. This game is in my top three I have played this Ludum Dare, and could definitely be "the one I remember". I look forward to what you do in the future, and hope you can use my feedback to become an even better developer! KEEP. IT. UP!
Amazing atmosphere and art style. I love the sounds as well as the effects on the water with your torch. Some of the sounds were jarring and rather scary, however I think that was the intention. I found the earlier levels very easy and the later levels were difficult. The difficulty curve felt well done and seems like you have a handle on it.
I look forward to what you make in the future, keep it up!
Tested this game on a slow computer, Unity launcher defaulted to native screen resolution with no options in the drop down to change it. I assume this was intentional as in all other Unity games I have played, there are at least 480p-1080p options available. Because of the high resolution, I was not able to play this game without playing at 5 FPS. I am not rating this game because I don't feel as if I could reasonably play it. Please do not lock your resolution. Not only was the game unplayable, because it was native resolution the UI was off the screen. The only solution to fix the UI would to be to play in fullscreen, but that would only make the game perform worse. While it is true, the computer I am testing on this is crap, there is literally no reason to lock the resolution.
YAR HAR FIDDLEY DEEEEE
(This is my second favourite game so. I love the flippy sub and shooting missiles.) I had a proper chuff YAR HAR FIDDLEY DE BEING A PIRATE IS OUR RIGHT TO BE DO WHAT YOU WANT COS A PIRATE IS FREE, YOU AREEE A PIIRRRAAATEEE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBH4g_ua5es That's my favourite sea chanty.
Anyway, on to the actual game: solid game play (My high score is 6.) it's fun, and I really enjoyed singing my own sea shanties, that is a feature most modern AAA games lack. (Wow even AC4 Black Flag didn't have it. Lame.)
"AC4 with guns" - 420/360 IGN
There is just something exhilarating about firing your ship at a planet, turning at the last second, and flying off into space.
Good work, gameplay feels very solid, the music is very nice, and the graphics are fine. I like your unique integration of the theme.
I would have enjoyed sounds. (Fire, ship thrust, sun bad guy dispersal, etc.) I can see why you didn't do it, as the music is very nice and atmospheric, but rather hollow, perhaps that is what you were going for.
Good work! Original take on the theme, okay graphics, nice sounds! Keep it up!
@UltimateWalrus Thanks for the feedback! I used Unity and other programs like it for a couple of years before deciding I wanted to move on. While I can see the benefits of using something like Game Maker, Twine, Unity, etc, for Ludum Dare, I want to use C++ as is a better fit for me, and I think it will help me more in the long run.
@Suese I cut away a portion of this image, http://images.wikia.com/indianajones/images/archive/6/63/20110317221530!Chachapoyan_Fertility_Idol.jpg, then used filters and edited it to make it how I wanted. Re-reading the rules for clarification, "2. All game code and content must be created within the 48 hours." I think I may have broken the rules by not drawing it / not 100% creating it. Re-reading the further clarified rules (on the front page, http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2014/04/25/rules-and-guide-re-written-for-maximum-clarity/) "2. All images, models, textures, music, and sound must be created during the 48 hours. You cannot use any pre-existing art of any kind, whether you created it or found it online." Wow, I feel bad now. Hm. Does this really mean we can't use images based of stuff online and then edit them to make them fit our game? The only time I did something similar to this was in my first Ludum Dare and I entered it in the Jam, perhaps that is why nobody had a problem with it. In any case, I won't do it again, sorry. Thanks for pointing that out.
This is a very well done game. I LOVE the pixel art and the bubbles are fantastic. The gameplay feels solid, and everything works as you would expect! This is the type of game that makes the top 100. I would have like some sounds, but I am not complaining because the other aspects of the game were done so well. Keep. it. up! I look forward to what you make in the future!
Solid game. Good graphics, nice sounds, good take on the theme. Game seems very polished and well done overall.
I survived for 61 seconds.
Good game, nice sounds, fine graphics, solid plot, good mechanics.
The animations on the archers were interesting. If you use the mouse and you right click, the Unity Web context menu comes up.
I would have liked a downloadable version. Just like how some people don't like downloadable games, some people don't like games in browser. I get a worse experience when playing a game in a browser, and that impacts how well I rate games.
Aside from my small nitpicks, this game is very solid and feels well made. I liked your unique take on the theme.
Keep making games.
I wish you could control your worm in the air. The sounds seem a random and way too loud. Overall good job. Nice graphics.
Pretty solid game. The mechanics feel rock solid and you obviously put a lot of work into this game.
The art is nice, and things that are inherent to the Unity engine work fine. (physics, buttons, text, etc.) Since this was a Jam entry, I would have really like some sounds, but that's not a big deal. One thing this game is really lacking, however, is a notifier for when the level is complete. On the first level I just screwed around long after I had found all the pieces because their was no indication if I was done.
Anyway, all in all, it's a fine game, pretty solid and a bit of fun. However, for being a Jam entry, I think some things were missing. Keep it up. 8/10.
Fun game. It's a bit hard and takes a minute to get used to. Fine art and nice sounds. I would have liked a windowed option, but it's a game made in 48 hours, what should I expect? Haha. Good work!
Very impressed with this game. Very fun, nice physics, good graphics, nice sounds, very good upgrading system, and it fit the theme well. I wish scores were implemented, but the amazing gameplay experience made up for that. The WASD + Space hand posture got tiring after a few minutes, but that's not a big deal. I would love to see a arrow key adaptation. Considering your released your source, I may add it myself. Would it be okay if I released it with an arrow key add-on? Keep it up!
Cool game! Okay graphics, nice sounds, solid gameplay. A fun little endless runner. Since this is just a Stencyl game, I don't know why you don't just upload it to dropbox or something and have a web option, that's probably bringing down your number of players significantly. The background hurts my eyes some, and certain gaps are impossible to get through unless you are in the exact right spot at all times. Overall pretty good work, but it could use some more polish! I've uploaded the swf to my dropbox, feel free to use this as the "Web" option if you want. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57962942/Free%20Fall/Free%20Fall.swf
I don't think I quite get the concept. It seems like an okay game, but I don't think I fully understand it. Nice sounds, good graphics, feels solid. Keep it up.
A nice game. Fine graphics with solid gameplay make this game a good time. I would have liked some sounds. I assume it's intentional, but on the second wave, both my cannons, and my archer were hitting the bad guys 300 times over and they were not dying, weird. Keep it up!
I played for quite a long time and only had one item and one wallet get stolen. I didn't notice anything. I think the stealing needs to happen more frequently and be easier to notice. Aside from those small nitpicks, the game is very solid, plays well, has a unique art style, and uses good sound design to make the atmosphere feel hectic like a real train. Good work.
Good work! This game is pretty hard and I had a difficult time with certain mechanics. I found the cops a little bit too quick and it would be nice if they could only see things x pixels away as I often had a hard time slipping past them. The camera is a bit weird. Movement feels very good. Sounds and graphics are nice and suit this game well. Very frustrating, but in kind of a good way! Keep it up.
The Windows version does not work for me. After the tutorial, all I am getting is a black screen with the info of the game. http://i.imgur.com/51qfh0t.png I extacted the .exe out of the .zip, so it's not a compression issue. Windows 7 64.
Solid game, nice sounds, good graphics. I kept forgetting the red fish were bad and that there wasn't a size growing element to this game, but that's my fault. Overall a fine game, really enjoy the music and sound. Why does it say 2013 on the title screen?
A very fun game with great sounds, nice graphics, and solid gameplay. I would buy this.
Great game. I loved the art, the sounds were very nice, and the game played well. Solid story matched with interesting gameplay makes for a fun game. I liked your unique take on the theme! No real problems that I could find.
GOOD WORK!
Good sounds, nice graphics, and the gameplay feels solid. Certain restrictions on when you can swim are odd and feels to strict. The camera moves oddly slow (I think this was the intention) so I was just waiting around at the bottom of the screen waiting for more air. Overall good work.
Rats. There is an end. This is in my top three games I have ever played for a Ludum Dare. It is one of the most fun, compelling, and all around well done. The art is good, the sound and music are great, the mechanics just work. In a way, this sort reminds me of Cookie Clicker or something, where you are just always upgrading to get more cookies so you can upgrade to get more cookies so you can upgrade to get more cookies so y- Well, you get it. But it works in this case! Even my biggest gripe with this game is very small. The workers are kind of stupid and slow. Big whoop. I love the building a colony sort of thing and watching them all run around. Very very very good job. (The humor in the beginning is some of the best LD plot I have ever read. Into the sun.) If you polished this game and put it up for sale, I would buy it.
Input doesn't seem to be working on the web version. Enter works at the beginning, but if I die, Y and N don't work. Z for jump also doesn't work. Cool concept!
The download version seems fine with the input. Good game! Kind of confusing. But I might just not be smart enough to understand it. Haha. Keep it up.
