This actually made me feel extreme tension as my stamina approached zero. Love the overall mood and all the elements that contribute to the experience. The character monologues, the audio, the swaying camera, all great touches.
Love the atmosphere and the exploration parts of this game. Lots of keys to memorize, put the game keys on the HTML page so people can remember without mashing the wrong button.
Player monologue sometimes blocks movement, frustrating.
Got one green dude in there. Couldn't actually play. I Llke the music though :)
Loved the storyline at the start - got me all excited about what I might face! Then was honestly a little disappointed when the baddies turned out to be strange little alligator dudes. That said, well executed narrative on top of an ok side scroller. No audio hurt this game a lot. It would have added a ton to the atmosphere. Also, the final wave battle to protect Emily was WAY too long!
Very moody. At first I hated the camera, but then realized that while it was VERY frustrating it did in fact create this slow panning kind of dread that Kubrick utilized in The Shining while following Danny on his trike to create tension as he rounded each corner. I found myself having similar tension as the camera slowly caught up with my character over time.
Love the descent here, feels like we are going SUPER underground and the audio makes things feel tight and close.
Got stuck at the door without a key though, and died in the water on the way back. Frown.
The wilhelm scream seemed out of place.
Fun fun! The beeping sound is ear piercing though. Turn that down!
So tiny. I think these sprites could be much bigger.
Hey guys, sorry for the delay - work just took over this week. Updated version here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9167625/LDGames/LD29/UnderGoogle.html
Obviously can't rate the newer version, but for those who wanted to know what happened at "the button!"
You can skip the intro after the first attempt by clicking "retry." That said, I might just have to make that option always available.
Dig the mood when you go really deep. The audio changing, the water getting darker. Did have a number of strange bugs though where I wasn't able to attack anymore and my guy would disappear. Other than those, an interesting concept.
Also, why a QUIT button?
Interesting idea, but you really need a transition on the RMB click.
Love the intro. Got stuck pretty quickly after that.
Wow. Like the ninja rope in Worms Armageddon. Fun to play, loved the fact that I was living the life of a hotdog.
Wow. Amazing work. Didn't even realize it was turn based until it told me so. That's was a nice surprise.
Interesting concept. I like the distance from lightsource as a gameplay core. Way too short and the wall texture is painful!
Fun puzzle game. I didn't expect to actually get the pineapple but was happy when the theme changed after doing so.
Crazy game. Quirky controls.
Not terrible for such a quick turnaround. It's feels like "flappy sub." The SOS audio is pretty harsh.
I like to fly :)
Love the skating gameplay. Very unique. Game is really challenging.
What build? I just re-tested all 3 and it worked without issue?
Definitely a balancing act in keeping the combo high and not making the parents nuts! I've had a 12x multiplier at one point by carefully managing the # of popped balloons and riding the line with parental awareness! It's a challenge to get a real score in this :)
Brilliant. 5 stars.
Same results here - blank screen and music.
Futurama inspired, love it!
Pilot: Sir, we're losing ships! What are your orders!?
Lrrr: Increase speed, drop down, and reverse direction!
Had some trouble getting cows into the ship. Love the art style!
Wow! This game has it all!
Very cool. Is there an ending?
Love this.
5 stars. Love it. Gimme the soundtrack.
Love the style and take on the theme!
Very cool! Love the retro rendering style and the interpretation of the theme!
Need more points!
