Eventually got stuck. Thought it was a pretty polished game - good ideas, solid mechanic, good level design mostly. I thought sometimes the story was a bit inconsistent, and punching the girl wasn't very nice to encounter - perhaps there was another way to make your point, like arguing with her? Good stuff though!
Nice game! A little hard but I liked the premise. I think the away team mechanics needs work - there's no real reason not to send them down since there's not much indication of what's safe and what isn't. The binary decisions - Meet Them/Ignore - were more interesting because I had to judge whether a situation was safe.
Really cool nonetheless. Very different kind of LD game.
Nice! The mac version works perfectly, btw. I was a bit unsure of what to do at first but the controls you've got are really nice, lovely effects too.
Nice idea! Making the ship a bit speedier/manoeuvrable would be great, but the basic idea is a lot of fun and you did a hell of a lot in just a few days. Well done!
Fantastic entry. Loved the idea, the mechanics balance each other nicely, even level generation. Super stuff!
Nice idea! A little tricky with the controls (I was playing on a trackpad though) but I didn't rate it down for that - a really good little game.
Really great, and I love the fact that you bounce around like a pinball as the ship ineptly crashes into stuff. Great idea.
Nice concept. I found it a little tricky to control - I wanted to keep control of the larger world after connecting two together. But I still think the idea is great and the art style is very lovely.
Really great concept. I like the ideas behind this a lot.
Really lovely. Gorgeous presentation, nice simple mechanic.
Quite a cute idea! I enjoyed playing around with it, the teleporting was a fun twist as well. I wish people made more golf games :)
So beautiful.
Really hard! I got killed almost instantly. But lovely graphics :)
Great idea! Needs some balancing but this is a really really solid idea. I had a lot of fun looking at all the cards and seeing their effects.
Great atmosphere and graphics. I really loved walking around! A really nice little game.
Fantastic! I love this kind of game. Enjoyed finding the secrets too - can't believe you did this all in two days.
Fantastic game. Just the right length.
Wall jump was just a bit too fiddly for me to do reliably. I liked the core mechanic idea though.
Haha. What a great idea. It's not a bad implementation either. I sold my tail though and I couldn't add one back on! A cautionary tale.
Obviously it inherits a lot from Portal etc. but I like the idea. I think the left-click is pretty clear from the off, but right-click is less obvious. I eventually got it (and then got myself stuck in a level without a restart) but I think you need to make it clearer what's going on. Maybe a shadow of yourself in the other level that you can see with left-click?
Great idea! The graphics and details were really lovely, there's so much stuff to look at and peek at.
I was really enjoying this! Some maybe spoilers I guess:
How does the game end? I climbed up a pile of rocks some of which were invisible, and then I managed to get over the rock wall and outside the level I think.
I really liked the game. It's impossible pretty and the game mechanic is really cool.
The graphics are awesome! I also liked exploring the level and trying to shortcut it - was that intentional? Nice stuff. I think maybe some kinder restarts/checkpoints would've been good.
Wow, this is a nice piece! The gameplay's quite different to most Ludum Dare stuff, and the graphics are fab. Good work!
Haha! Okay so the fish controls are kinda hard but I did get the hang of it eventually! It's a shame it didn't work out - I really like the atmosphere and the graphics. Maybe add a bit more today and submit to the jam?
Very, very dark! Was quite hard to see. But I really like the setting and the music was great too. Brighten it up a little bit maybe - I also would've loved mouse aim but maybe that makes it too easy/arcadelike for you?
Nice work!
Wow, I really enjoyed that. Like you say, it was a weird little thing but the atmosphere was terrific.
I liked this a surprising amount! I didn't finish it as it's a little too hard for me but the combat was really satisfying. Nice thwunks and movement. I think if you took a look at the combat system and tweaked it with playtesters this would be really awesome.
+1 on the Mac version if possible
Hey! Your web link just goes to your Twitter. Is there a direct link available?
Really like this concept. Nice work.
Beautiful graphics! Really consistent style, loved it. Also a really ambitious style of game for Ludum Dare. Well done on pulling it off.
Nice work! You packed a lot into this game. Really fun platforming, loved it to bits.
Very atmospheric! The music was so beautiful. Well done on putting it all together. I enjoyed it a whole bunch.
Great work! I love the art style too. Very fun.
Very very hard. Love the idea and looked cool, but could barely get past the first screen! :)
Wow! Fantastic entry. Utterly incredible art, great music, I really loved the gameplay. Well done!
Good fun! I think I marginally preferred the shield because in theory it can take more asteroids out? But yeah - lovely graphics, really liked it.
Nice! Lovely idea, great graphics too. I think adding the unlocked version was a really smart addition - well done on a great game!
Love the idea - you don't see stuff like this in Ludum Dare often! It was a bit overwhelming with the limited tutorial, but I liked the graphics, the procedural generation, and the general tone of the game. Theme works really well too.
Loved the graphical style and the audio! Really knocked it out of the park in design terms :)
Love the graphics and audio here! The concept is really nice too - is the level procedural? I didn't opt to retry!
Lovely graphics and the concept is great, although a little confusing! Toss in a tutorial and I'm definitely interested in more :)
Really great work on art and animations, and I love the procedural aspect as well as the end-level decisions. Modifying jump height makes the game unwinnable at some point, but up until then I really liked the concept!
Really good work! I'd have liked a visible health meter and maybe a faster movespeed? The core idea is really clever and well implemented given the 48 hours! Well done on all counts :)
Hey! I pressed "up" at the start, and the game crashed. :)
Oh god this is fantastic. So funny. Such a cute and simple idea, but you executed it really well and it's a really fantastic take on the theme. Really well done!
Oh man, so good. The graphics are incredible, and it animates so beautifully too. Great work. I like the game concept - definitely flesh it out into a fuller game like you were talking about on Twitter!
Peer pressure: it's not for everyone. Enjoyed the humour! Also the somersaulting was pretty good fun.
Yeah same here - looks lovely but I can't figure out how to control the fella?
Wonderful stuff! Really atmospheric and much more than it appears. Enjoyed it a bunch. 4 rubies, 48 coins, 1 key. :)
Lovely concept! The intro is a bit slow and I'd love a fast retry to keep playing and experimenting, but the core game is very well-made!
Haha, I really love this concept! I think it fit the theme perfectly, really like the permanence. I was terrible >_>
Utterly great. Perfect ending.
Wonderful! Enjoyed it so much, great idea and, a-heh, execution.
This is a really superb idea for a game. You absolutely should develop this further. Holy crap this was so fun.
Liked the art, found it a bit difficult to interact with things (I wanted to get the paperclip but couldn't seem to reach it?) a mouse interface would've been perfect. Still, lovely atmosphere and looks!
Brilliant! So packed with visual detail, and the concept was pretty funny. I really enjoyed playing it.
Stellar audio and art work. Really loved the setting and the idea of cycling stages. 10 seconds made it hard to gauge hat was going on, but that's not your fault! Loved it.
Wonderful! Very clever, responsive controls, unusual setting, great audio and advancement system. I think if anything the LD theme held you back, the 10 seconds stopped you from developing the mechanics as much as you wanted, but even then you still threw in stuff like the dogs. Great work!
Great idea! I was really charmed by it. I don't think I understood how the scoring worked but the game itself (and the concept of sharing hints) was really cool.
A little tricky to play - I wasn't entirely clear on how to save people. but it's a very beautiful and slick game. I'd love to play this with a bit more work on a tutorial or something, because it was relaxing just to fly around in.
Very innovative idea, loved the control system and a great use of the theme!
Just downloaded it, no joy yet. Here's what I see when I launch (plus cmd output):
http://imgur.com/pDUiKfh
Haha. The funniest game I've played so far! The setup is just brilliant. Enjoyed jumping and sliding a bunch.
Lovely graphics! Hope you get to develop it further.
Superb graphical style and mood. Really atmospheric, a joy to play! I found it pretty hard as it went on, but yeah - develop this further!
The graphics and animation are really slick! Makes the game feel very polished, and really made it fun to dash around the mazes. The death animation made me grin :P
Great concept! This would be amazing on a touchscreen I think.
Very cute. Wonderful graphics and mood, really well done!
Gorgeous art and a wonderful idea for a game. Well done!
Great idea! I loved the mechanic of running back to upgrade stuff. Very tense and the management aspect was a new twist. Really well done.
Nice idea! The jumping is smooth and the graphics were nice. It's a little hard to collect more than a few coins - maybe spawn 5 at a time or something. My best was 4!
Wonderful! Great idea, dug the art style. Some of the games are instant-fail (I think there's a platformer? I die within one second) but other than that, this was very fun.
Really great idea! I love the art so much, the gameplay is pretty solid and cleverly tied in with the theme. Very nice!
When I play this, most of the content doesn't fit on screen for my aspect ratio. Does this need to be played in widescreen?
Nice premise! I like the idea of the game. I think you need something more than clicks to assess how good the player was - maybe different types of zombie that can't be clicked on or something? Check out other puzzle games for inspiration! I think this has promise though :)
I finished it! I really liked the control scheme, very simple idea and well-executed! Great job.
I like the idea, and the graphics! Your execution is pretty good, although I couldn't pick up the clocks (no idea why) and if you run out of time to pause, the screen stays slightly greyed which is misleading (because you can be caught! :P)
The intro text is a bit long and wordy too. Maybe spread it out a bit or make it shorter?
Good start though! I really liked the theming.
I really liked where this was going! It wasn't clear to me that hitting the tree hurt me at first, but after that I enjoyed controlling the player.
The opening text could do with being skippable as it's quite slow. Other than that, keep working on it :)
Really great, very moody. I found the second level a little tricky, I liked the mechanic. A little difficult at first but the atmosphere really won me over.
Wonderful! Made me chuckle, really sharp idea and polished really well.
Love the idea! Short and simple, I love photography games.
I couldn't get the character to move no matter what I tried! Is the idea that you press cursor keys, then after 10 seconds he moves?
Hey! There's no play link for this :( Check that your links have http:// at the start, or they don't show otherwise.
Nice! I loved this a bunch, even on PC. 1794 my highest score ;)
I liked the mechanic of having to return to the red button. I can see this being quite interesting to play for high scores.
I really liked the graphics and the mechanics (reminded me a lot of N+!) and I'm impressed by how many levels you included. I guess you can add more as time goes on, if they're loaded via the Internet?
Really liked the visual style!
Very fun idea! You can sort of get stuck on one of the levels (I got out by jumping and then moving the box) so perhaps being able to press R at any time would be good?
I finished it! Cute ending, I liked the cryptic message at the start ;)
Is there a Windows version? I really want to play this!
Okay so I loved the mood, and I think the control systems are a good idea! It does need some tweaking to avoid being incredibly hard though - I thought fall damage maybe made it a bit too difficult. Did you try giving the player the ability to control normal movement? Was that too easy?
I liked the idea though. Would like to see this control scheme panned out in another game!
Haha, I really loved this. The humour and art are pretty great, and the slowly stacking disguises made me chuckle.
Lovely little game! Kudos for taking on the Tower Defence challenge, and I thought you did great on the art and music. It was first-time music-making for me too, so I feel your pain! You did a great job though.
I liked the theme addition. It was a bit easy to simply reset the same few towers over and over, but I still think it worked out well!
Nice! Very simple, but really well put together.
This was pretty fun! I wasn't sure why there was a minimum elements to be destroyed - why not let us be creative and reach solutions faster? But I enjoyed the aesthetic a lot and the ideas in there.
Utterly brilliant. Best entry I've seen so far, enjoyed every second of it.
Lovely idea with the variables and ending.
The theme is beautiful, although the gameplay was a bit tricky. Would like to see it developed further though!
The game is still 404'ing! :(
Wonderful. Great graphics and audio, nice core mechanic. I think for a fuller game you'd need to rethink the dependencies. I would also love me some co-op.
Lovely! Very simple, delightful graphics.
Yes! This has so much potential. That last level was GREAT. Please extend this with more levels and complete it. Wonderful.
Very cute little entry. Needs some additional structure, maybe sticking to the track space or something, and a score system, but a nice starter. Well done!
Totally fun! I agree with Jarcas. Great effort, loved the jumping and wireframe art.
Any chance of a compiled executable?
It tells me i'm "missing required files", not sure if that's me or XNA?
Cute game, nice simple concept. Wasn't entirely clear what was losing me health at some points, but okay nonetheless!
Enjoyed this very much! Very cute, smooth controls too. :) Music was quite a shock though!
Thought the graphics were quite nice (love the colouring) and the blend of RPG combat and typing test is cool! The battles went on for a bit too long for my taste, but it was fun nonetheless.
This now works on 10.8 MacOS, for me anyway. I enjoyed it! Not sure how I feel about it overall, I think a delay at the end of each stage would help me know whether I'd done well or found the shape, etc. I really like the idea though. Nice work!
This is a nice twist on the endless runner schtick - I liked balancing killing with not killing. My only suggestion, to make it a bit more challenging, would be to make it so you can't move left and right while holding up or down. That way you have to position yourself to avoid the vertical enemies. Great idea, though!
Eesh, how big is the download? 60mb and still going! If you cna get a smaller download working too (maybe a 'minimal' version with fewer music files etc.) maybe that would help? Looking forward to playing it though.
Liked this a lot - runs lovely on my Macbook by the way - I enjoyed the musical beats from bisecting the world a lot, too. I wish it didn't close when you died! I wanted to reattempt it right away. Played it a few times though, really enjoyed it. Well done!
Loved it. Really loved it. Superb audio - excellent use of sound effects for jumping. I loved the mechanic, and I noticed myself really becoming patient and focusing on each jump. Played it to completion, a few jumps felt a bit unfair but please take this mechanic and work with it in future! I'd love a more rhythm-based thing with it, perhaps an endless runner where you charge and time jumps or something. Excellent aesthetics, really enjoyed it.
For some reason I had a grin on my face the whole time - I was awful at it but I really loved the craziness of the concept, the physicality of it, and the falling blocks destroying everything I attempted! Good work, really nice toygamething.
Hey, can you tag your Application link as Windows, not application? Looking forward to trying this when I get home to my windows pc!
Yeah, I think you need separate hosting. If you don't have hosting, I'd be happy to host it for you - email me mike @ gamesbyangelina.org
Another Mondrian game! I love it. Love this style so much, am glad to see it featuring in Ludum Dare. This has similar mechanics to another game I played but I think (not wishing to be harsh on the other one) that I prefer this implementation. Tighter, brighter, and the output feels more Mondrian-like. Very nice.
Absolutely brilliant. Really zen feel to it, loved the writing, the music arrangement and zoning, the weird complexity of the mechanics that seem simple at first. Can't wait to go back to this and get stuck into it.
Non-XNA link is broken at the moment. :(
Loved it. Great concept, well executed.
Link is currently broken for the web version!
Loved it! Great idea, a bit fiddly to play but I enjoyed reading the descriptions of the items so much.
Really cute game. Took some thinking to work out and I didn't finish it (got stuck on the level that looped top to bottom). I also cheated on one of the levels because there's a bug - if you press restart, your first jump is a double jump. I felt bad but I really couldn't work out the solution! :)
I loved the idea but I couldn't get much out of it, unfortunately. I thought it was innovative but the controls weren't quite intuitive enough, and it seemed like it was possible to get yourself into an unwinnable state (by filling in the top-level holes and consuming the sugar). I might be wrong.
nice work though. Looked quite nice and novel idea!
I really love Mondrian, and these divide-the-space games. A few things were odd - the division logic seemed weird, sometimes it would divide another area than I seemed to be marking out. Second, it was interest (but also initially confusing) that the area marked out wasn't related to the score like this genre of games normally. Still loved it though. Here's one of my masterpieces: http://imgur.com/i8a3OHE
I really liked this! It was a little too hard for me (I gave up on the last level, the Gauntlet) but I liked some of the ideas and you had some cool stuff going on with the messages/narration. Some thoughts:
1. Some of the tests are a little too tight (the second level is very hard even though it's the first one you can die on.
2. If you die with the red powerup, you still have it when you respawn, don't know if that's a bug.
Nice game! Well done.
It started off quite fun, I like the graphics, but overall it felt a little too hard for me - reminiscent of games from my childhood! Would love to see a balanced/tweaked version that's easier to play :)
Really loved this. Very relaxing and pretty.

I love the setting you establish here, and the little asides of preparing tea, selecting brews, and seeing dreams. There's so much potential here! Incredibly polished presentation, too, every screen is really beautiful.
Seamoth by Aniebodie 2021-04-29T22:07:14Z ♥ 2
Extremely strong mood and visuals, really wonderful spaces. Took me a second to figure out what was going on, but I was glad I stuck with it!
Boombastic Fall by William Rizzi 2021-04-29T21:57:09Z ♥ 2
I could only play it out singleplayer, but I like the concept a lot. The art is really nice, and making a local co-op game for LD is a really cool idea, well done!
The Elephant in the Room by CeeJap 2021-04-29T21:54:22Z ♥ 1
So good - it's such a complete thing, I liked the difficulty too, has that really good PICO-8 vibe. I was not expecting the boss, but I loved it, and the ending screen was so sweet. Such a lot of charm crammed into a tiny package. ^_^
Lidenbrock by Notinatal 2021-04-29T21:36:09Z ♥ 1
Ah this is pretty neat! I like the idea, it has the simplicity and humour of a WarioWare kind of game, almost? I feel like this would be great on mobile or something. Very complete too, nice job!

This looks/sounds super cool, but I can't run it! I think you need to distribute extra files in your download.

Aww, lovely. Great animation and sprite work! Well done for making something so polished. You can always add levels for the post-jam :)
D. Per & Dee Per: Treasure Hunters by gamesplusjames 2021-04-28T01:58:34Z ♥ 2
A really astonishingly complete thing. The script and voices were adorable, the mechanics were really clever and opened up quite a bit. One of the best LD entries I've ever seen, I think.
Ludum Postal by jvolonte 2021-04-28T01:30:59Z ♥ 2
So good! The slapstick comedy of the boxes piling up is hilarious, and I love the design of the space and attention to detail. Really impressive entry!

Really nice art! The water level trick was neat, this would make a fun game if you expanded it I think!

Short, sweet and fun! I love the art and general style so much. Lovely work! :)

Such a good game. The writing and systems just go together perfectly. I love this entry a lot, it's smart and satisfying and innovative. I'd love to see this expanded into a fuller post-jam experience!
