Thanks for your kind words Gornova. Yeah, I actually made the rat race intentionally slow and frustrating with horrible, annoying music so it better represented the drudgery and maddening elements of going to work for someone else every day of your life.
Ha, really cool writing and voice acting shot through with a nice line in humour - made me happy.
Simple game, really well executed.
Graphics and sound work well. It's fun, couldn't get passed the three bosses though- pretty tricky.
Extremely cool interpretation of the theme.
I like the visual style and overall feel, shame there isn't really any gameplay to speak of.
Digging the simplistic graphical style and the animations are cool. The sense of everything wobbling about is a really nice touch.
I don't really understand what I'm meant to be doing and there's no instructions :( It looks like a really cool idea, if only I got what was going on!
I am in love with these graphics, could definitely see this game going somewhere. Awesome effort.
I found the movement frustrating, but enjoyed the graphics and sound.
Surprisingly addictive but as noted above, really hard once you get going!
Great graphics, cool music. However I'm finding gameplay not so hot. Sometimes you can't see where you're going and you end up jumping into nothingness and hoping for the best.
Really liking the graphical style, would be intrigued by a post compo version.
Competent, classic side scrolling shooter, but seemed a bit slow to heat up. Shame there's no music.
I'm in love with the graphics. It would be good if you were a little more agile, but I guess it fits to be slow and lumbering so I'm torn.
And now all the art has gone... Nice statement piece, with a cool atmosphere.
Beautiful, beautiful pixels. A well polished little game.
Somehow I killed the first child I found... :(
Nice little mechanic and funny concept, nice one.
Cool graphics and music.
Beautiful graphics and sound
Cool graphics and lighting on this one, I like the pressurised gameplay.
This very cool - I like the graphic and the upgrade path is neat. Occasionally I struggled to read the words especially once I could see a wider area and I seemed to stop growing bigger once I had been eaten a bit by the small black evil thing.
Once I got used the floatiness I made good progress. Occasionally I just seemed to randomly stop though, which broke up the flow.
A tad repetitive, but it the gameplay is solid, I liked the enemies, and the intro was well written. The game did stutter a few times, and I thought the score kept resetting, but it actually only shows one digit- maybe that's a bug you can fix- it's in the competition rules.
Cool twist on the Flappy Bird mechanic with sweet graphics and sound. Like its influence, pretty damn difficult as well!
Simple but addictive gameplay, I like it.
The switch jumping is a great mechanic, feels good when you first work what's going on. Definitely think this idea has potential.
Extremely strange physics make this somewhat difficult to play. Maybe you'd get used to it though... Music is kinda cool.
Ha, very manic but cool with it!
Once I got the fact I should be slowly, rhythmically clicking on the blocks to keep the torch in place it all fell into place. Initially I thought the torch had a life of its own!
Found it difficult to judge the jumps but liked the graphical design.
Really awesome use of music!
Extremely cool idea and wonderfully appropriate graphics. Shame there's no AI, but this has so much potential to be developed post compo.
Come on little girl, kill those evil, green spit flinging underground dwellers! Liking the graphics.
Nice take on the theme, if a little disturbing. Like the graphics, shame there was no animation.
Clobsters is such a great name, this game made me grin wildly! I love the physics, it's just a shame it's not a tad more predictable. The encroaching sea urchins also made my day.
Cool art piece. I like the 30 Flights of Loving-esque characters.
W.T.F. This was very trippy! Cool graphics.
Extremely cool having both views and love the idea of the threat coming from the ground. Found it hard, the underground creatures destroy everything before I've got a foothold!
As you've noted yourselves, pretty darn hard but I really like the graphics and sound. I think that, while the fluid movement has a nice 'feel', it makes it difficult to effectively avoid the sharks.
I like the graphics and sound but the gameplay seems to be just a lottery...
Game within a 'game' eh?
Haha, I love the way the fish bash into one another! This game made me smile.
Cool little puzzle game
Love the moodiness of this game.
Amazing job for only 72 hours, everything about this game exudes style.
I'd just like to echo Fazz and say thanks to everyone for your kind words and excellent suggestions.
@thaaks Correct, you can complete 2 fully oxygenated dive phases within a single day cycle. A dive can last up to 2 minutes and the sun has finished setting after 3 minutes. If you surface and it's night, the level ends.
Truly awesome environmental graphics and good fun to boot!
Nicely stylised graphics and I like the hooking mechanism. It's a shame you can't pull the purple creatures out of the ground!
I wish there's been more creatures to hunt and the sub wasn't so slow at the start. However the environment looks sexy, definitely potential here.
Cool idea but as others have pointed out, too easy I think. Completed it without breaking into a sweat. Cool tune.
Oh no! Tie Bombers! Oh no! Birds of Prey! Oh, and Mal wants his ship back. It's a 'best of' science fiction spaceships. Nice little space shooter, cool graphics.
Great puzzle game, really polished. Best game I've play so far!
Like the artwork and sounds, nice game. Not sure what the theme connection is though...
Cool little game, nice idea. As others have said the controls could do with some polish.
Cool game, good graphics and I like the writing
Cool little game with a nice dollop of humour and sfx. Controls and the floatiness are not too my taste though.
Great little game, cool idea. Like the graphics too.
I'm in love with your graphics! Great concept, neat little game.
Ha, great concept - influenced by South Park per chance?
Solid game, great graphics and I like the idea of it being a CCTV feed.
Noooo, I want more! This is a ridiculously stylish game, the graphics are insane. You should definitely develop this further.
Very polished little game, Edmon's faces are great!
When I click to start it just displays a picture and there seem to be no active controls...
Nevermind! It probably was Firefox being weird - seems to be working fine in Chrome
Not sure I'm getting what you're meant to do, but a cool concept and absolutely lovely artwork.
Great graphics and lovely fluid control feel.
Cool little game, I get why you made the controls like this and I think it works. Nice little ditty as well.
Nice little game, I actually like you making the switching sound yourself! Gives it a certain charm. I found the player character moved too slowly for my liking.
Great game - awesome, cute graphics and very polished generally.
What a spectacular game! Such a great mechanic and awesome graphics to boot. Spot on!
Cute little idea, like the shake when you collect the worlds. Not a huge fan of the control 'feel' though.
Absolutely love this game. Great concept and slick execution. You should definitely develop this further.
Awesomely cute graphics, like the inclusive of the maths aspect. Sweet little game.
Same as everyone else - can just move around, no collisions.
Cool game, like the foreground art.
Cool little game with wonderful graphics - just a shame they're not animated!
Incredible artwork, neat little game.
Cool little game, like the general vibe and the music.
I made it! Cool little game.
It's the three legged race of planets! Cool little idea, good physics. Hard but you only blame yourself.
That's a very cool little idea, I like it.
Great graphics, nice little, challenging game.
Unless I'm being stupid this is incredibly difficult... Cool idea though. I don't understand how you get credits so you can buy more belts, delivering correct mail doesn't seem to do anything.
Great little commentary piece - we are all the same. Found it a bit buggy but nothing game breaking.
Nice little series of vignettes, great interpretation of the theme. Had to play until completion! Like the graphics, shame there's no animation or sound.
Very stylish game, I really the graphics. It feels like the player character is stationary while the world around him moves, not sure whether that's intentional, but it means it lacks a bit of player agency.
Bit harsh that the game starts while you're reading the instructions. Otherwise quite addictive. Managed to get it to sustain itself but couldn't work out how to effectively encourage different colour building in the other quadrants without just waiting for ages. Cool idea though, nicely executed.
Cool graphics, it's a shame there's no animation. Like the music too. Web player worked fine for me, no crashes to report.
I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. The colours and sounds are immense and really give you a desperate sense of urgency. Great little game!
Cool little story, controls are really difficult. The other elements are good so it's a shame the player character is a white cube...
Erm... well I gave myself RSI...
Cool ragdoll physics, was fun to fling it around. Spelling out the theme is inspired!
Woah, some of that is disturbingly random. Cool idea though and some good writing.
@Sharkxx Yeah, it's potentially a bit obscure! Basically the game is about how the the worlds of the boss and the workers are connected. Without the cooperation of the workers the boss doesn't make any money. Wealthy people are only wealthy because we let them be.
@sftrabbit All great suggestions, and some of that was originally meant to happen but alas time was not on my side!
Thanks all for the compliments and feedback
@mess110 I'm pretty sure it's impossible to disable all the machines at once but it doesn't matter anyway. Even if there's some still running his costs mean you'll soon bankrupt the boss anyway!
Extremely polished little game, I enjoyed it - great sound and graphics. Quite slow but that works as a contemplative piece. It does get a bit repetitive though, and I messed up my first probe launch like an idiot.
Gahhhh, set up my second trade route the wrong way round and lost a tonne of cash! Nice idea. It would be good if you could see which cities you'd already made trading posts.
Superb game. Great concept and beautiful visuals. Very occasionally my Critters got stuck and stopped moving but I was always able to create new splits to free them.
Seems like a great start to what could be an awesome mobile puzzler. I beat the game but didn't feel like I exactly knew what I was doing all the time or why certain things happened - immovable blocks appeared for example. I also ended up only aiming for colour matching, my brain didn't seem to be able to process multiple matching criteria simultaneously! Overall a very polished, promising entry that you should definitely develop further.
Nice interpretation of the theme. The shifting land and ability to only save some of it is a cool little addition to the overall strategy.
Easily the best entry I've played so far - incredible job. Absolutely love the sound design!
Top notch graphics but gameplay gets old quite quickly. Felt like the shapes should change once you'd successfully drawn them to increase variety.
Looks great and has some actually funny dialogue. Really enjoyed it!
Forgot to mention, it has a very Adventure Time feel to it and that can only be the best thing ever in my book!
Beautiful to look at and listen to, very relaxing.
Clever little story within a story, really great work.
Hilarious and hard. Such a great idea and theme interpretation!
