Awesomely cute graphics, like the inclusive of the maths aspect. Sweet little game.

Awesomely cute graphics, like the inclusive of the maths aspect. Sweet little game.
Great little game, cool idea. Like the graphics too.
Great graphics and lovely fluid control feel.
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!
Erm... well I gave myself RSI...
Cool little story, controls are really difficult. The other elements are good so it's a shame the player character is a white cube...
Cool little game, nice idea. As others have said the controls could do with some polish.
Cool graphics, it's a shame there's no animation. Like the music too. Web player worked fine for me, no crashes to report.
Incredible artwork, neat little game.
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.
Very polished little game, Edmon's faces are great!
Cool ragdoll physics, was fun to fling it around. Spelling out the theme is inspired!
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.
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.
Cute little idea, like the shake when you collect the worlds. Not a huge fan of the control 'feel' though.
Cool little game, I get why you made the controls like this and I think it works. Nice little ditty as well.
What a spectacular game! Such a great mechanic and awesome graphics to boot. Spot on!
Cool game, good graphics and I like the writing
Great graphics, nice little, challenging game.
Absolutely love this game. Great concept and slick execution. You should definitely develop this further.
Cool little game, like the general vibe and the music.
Noooo, I want more! This is a ridiculously stylish game, the graphics are insane. You should definitely develop this further.
Like the artwork and sounds, nice game. Not sure what the theme connection is though...
Cool little game with a nice dollop of humour and sfx. Controls and the floatiness are not too my taste though.
Cool game, like the foreground art.
Woah, some of that is disturbingly random. Cool idea though and some good writing.
Great little commentary piece - we are all the same. Found it a bit buggy but nothing game breaking.
When I click to start it just displays a picture and there seem to be no active controls...
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.
Cool little game with wonderful graphics - just a shame they're not animated!
Great puzzle game, really polished. Best game I've play so far!
Great game - awesome, cute graphics and very polished generally.
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.
Solid game, great graphics and I like the idea of it being a CCTV feed.
I'm in love with your graphics! Great concept, neat little game.
Ha, great concept - influenced by South Park per chance?
I made it! Cool little game.
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.
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.
Same as everyone else - can just move around, no collisions.
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.
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.
Cool twist on the Flappy Bird mechanic with sweet graphics and sound. Like its influence, pretty damn difficult as well!
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.
Found it difficult to judge the jumps but liked the graphical design.
Simple game, really well executed.
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.
Truly awesome environmental graphics and good fun to boot!
Nice little mechanic and funny concept, nice one.
Beautiful, beautiful pixels. A well polished little game.
Love the moodiness of this game.
Simple but addictive gameplay, I like it.
Competent, classic side scrolling shooter, but seemed a bit slow to heat up. Shame there's no music.
Cool little puzzle game
I am in love with these graphics, could definitely see this game going somewhere. Awesome effort.
Beautiful graphics and sound
Really liking the graphical style, would be intrigued by a post compo version.
I found the movement frustrating, but enjoyed the graphics and sound.
Somehow I killed the first child I found... :(
Nice take on the theme, if a little disturbing. Like the graphics, shame there was no animation.
Digging the simplistic graphical style and the animations are cool. The sense of everything wobbling about is a really nice touch.
I like the visual style and overall feel, shame there isn't really any gameplay to speak of.
Cool graphics and lighting on this one, I like the pressurised gameplay.
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.
Game within a 'game' eh?
I like the graphics and sound but the gameplay seems to be just a lottery...
Ha, really cool writing and voice acting shot through with a nice line in humour - made me happy.
Amazing job for only 72 hours, everything about this game exudes style.
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!
W.T.F. This was very trippy! Cool graphics.
Cool art piece. I like the 30 Flights of Loving-esque characters.
And now all the art has gone... Nice statement piece, with a cool atmosphere.
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.
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.
Really awesome use of music!
Once I got used the floatiness I made good progress. Occasionally I just seemed to randomly stop though, which broke up the flow.
The switch jumping is a great mechanic, feels good when you first work what's going on. Definitely think this idea has potential.
Nicely stylised graphics and I like the hooking mechanism. It's a shame you can't pull the purple creatures out of the ground!
Extremely cool idea and wonderfully appropriate graphics. Shame there's no AI, but this has so much potential to be developed post compo.
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.
Ha, very manic but cool with it!
Cool idea but as others have pointed out, too easy I think. Completed it without breaking into a sweat. Cool tune.
Extremely cool interpretation of the theme.
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!
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!
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.
Graphics and sound work well. It's fun, couldn't get passed the three bosses though- pretty tricky.
Haha, I love the way the fish bash into one another! This game made me smile.
Come on little girl, kill those evil, green spit flinging underground dwellers! Liking the graphics.
Cool graphics and music.
Extremely strange physics make this somewhat difficult to play. Maybe you'd get used to it though... Music is kinda cool.
Surprisingly addictive but as noted above, really hard once you get going!

The Frog Prince and the Iron Heart by celia14 2016-05-09T10:30:00
Clever little story within a story, really great work.
ORIKAMI by Mnemusyne 2016-05-09T10:14:00
I love short and sweet games that pack a message. Also, it looks beautiful.
Atlantis Dare by James Coote 2016-04-21T13:04:00
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.
Chrysalide by Pierre 2016-04-21T12:34:00
Beautiful to look at and listen to, very relaxing.
Party at the Knightclub by Elisée and friends 2016-04-21T12:25:00
Looks great and has some actually funny dialogue. Really enjoyed it!
Soko Match by francoisvn 2016-04-21T11:49:00
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.
Porknight by Conk 2016-04-21T11:37:00
Cute little game, beautiful visuals. Really enjoyed it.
The Maitre D by SeaDads 2016-04-20T15:57:00
Easily the best entry I've played so far - incredible job. Absolutely love the sound design!
SPELLDOWN! by pixelpotions 2016-04-20T15:30:00
Top notch graphics but gameplay gets old quite quickly. Felt like the shapes should change once you'd successfully drawn them to increase variety.
Wobble Yoga by q_dork 2016-04-20T15:25:00
Hilarious and hard. Such a great idea and theme interpretation!
Splitter Critters by GertJohnny 2016-04-19T08:37:00
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.
