I may be a little biased because I LOVE CATS, but this is super cool. Especially dig the cat animation, great game!

Fantastic! :O
Best entry so far. Really impressed that you did this all by yourself :O
Best-looking entry I've seen so far! Very innovative gameplay as well, even though it can feel quite random sometimes. Congratulations!
I liked it a lot! Could have used a "swing" move instead of the static saber, since the game is exploitable by simply running right up to the enemies. Also wanted to swing the lightsaber because WHOOOOOOM. Great entry! :D
It's interesting, but it's currently nigh unplayable. I kept getting killed instantly until it randomly stopped spawning snowmen and then I was just collecting presents endlessly with no challenge :(
Love the artstyle, theme and the hand-made animation! Really unique :) Controls are a bit stiff, though, and gameplay could have used some more depth. But for a first game this is amazing, will sure check your next one!
Can't download :(
YOU HAVE A STEAM PUG WHY CAN'T I PLAY ANYTHING? :'(
Quite fun, I enjoy the new spin on breakout. But how did you manage to write such a simple game in GameMaker that manages to be so unstable and buggy? It would be a 5/5 if you ironed out the technical problems
I really liked the low-poly art, especially the fire :D Gameplay could have used a little bit more "oomph" though
Got seizure, thanks
Amazing, I love everything about this
Really cool, love the graphics! Only bummer is rounds being too short and requiring time to re-setup everything again. Apart from that, a stellar entry!
Amazing Spy Party-esque entry, really fun to play (especially if you don't need to play with the keyboard like we did haha)
Simply amazing. Thank you
Amazing, congratulations!
Best, most polished game I've seen on this LD so far! Congratulations :D
Great game and very polished as usual :)
Very, very, very good :D Congrats!
Wow, one of the best I played in a LD, really excellent work there!
Fucking awesome :D
Wow this is really good, and a super-polished game. It's interesting how we both ended up making a TD/Dungeon 2-layered thing, but they are completely different games. Your design is much better as well! Could use some better pacing, but that's super hard to get right during a game jam, so 5/5 for you, mister!
Really cool and innovative! Simple "programmer art" that is not in bad taste and gets the job done. I just don't like that surface pieces regenerate... apart from that a really excellent entry :D
Incredibly cool core gameplay idea you have there, you should definitely develop it further. Very stiff controls and the worst sound ever does not hinder what is an excellent entry, congratulations :)
Interesting idea, but perhaps too ambitious for 48h? Nice style, though
Very literal take on "on-rails shooter" that is super interesting :D Congrats on the cool graphics as well!
A bit lacking on the challenge/complexity side, but very relaxing :)
Cool ideas and lightning! But gameplay isn't really there...
Amazing, great job as usual!
Wow this is awesome! And a Compo entry, really nice!
Wow, really cool that you decided to make a card-and-dice game in the jam :) For a 2-day game it's really good, while obviously the design is a bit wonky still it was fun to play. Congrats
Amazingly beautiful art (and note that I'm not saying "for a game jam")!
Unfortunately I found the gameplay a bit boring and annoying =(
But congratulations on the looks and mood of the game, really great stuff
Excellent, excellent game for a jam. Really impressed! I wast losing the rock-papers-scissors all the fucking time though haha
Nice style :D
I found the feel to be good, but the design does not gel well overall. The wall-breaking stuff is not integrated with the game in any way, and there is no need to fight the monsters since the resources are scattered on the floor. I was able to beat the game the first time in under a minute by just running through everything until I found the stairs/sword
I also made a boomerang game where you hold the button to throw it further :D
Great art! :D
Wow! I played this for a LOT longer than I thought I would! Super fun and funny game, you really had a good time doing this and it shows :D 5/5
Wow Gabriel, I played this game BEFORE I noticed it was yours! The game is indeed simple, but the physics-based lava looks AWESOME *_*
Would have been much comfortable if I could instantly pick up the boomerang by walking next to it...
This is awesome :D
I felt like the controls were a little too imprecise, very hard to make the jumps, navigate, etc.
I really like the style, the use of the theme and the randomly-generated levels, but the controls are pretty weird and it looks like perhaps your team bit more than they could chew in 72 hours, there are lots of bugs, animation issues, balance issues, etc. Overall a pretty solid entry, congratulations! \o/
Haha this is so cute, and the puzzles are fun :)
Really cute! :D
Really cute visuals, love your style. Hate the music, though =/
Could have used some more feedback - sound, visuals, anything - on the buttons/cells...
What can I say if not... "good job"
Wow, I simply love the style and feel of this. Really amazing work for such a short time. Love the music and the random tweets that pop up! However, I don't know if it was just on my PC or something, but the AI seemed to be a bit broken. They would just be standind idle or facing the walls while I shot them to bits. That kinda ruined what seems like a potentially amazing game for me.
This is... different. Not a very fun activity, but really creative and unusual. Kudos for that!
Haha this is awesome, love your "Are you ready"
Nope.
This is really, really impressive. Would love to see a more developed version of this or maybe a video of you playing because I'm not sure how exactly the game should be played. It is really cool and stylish and funny, but I struggled to find how to play the game "properly", if at all possible. Mighty amazing achievement anyway, though
The look and style of this is so amazing, but I really didn't like the gameplay. Felt like a wasted opportunity, looking forward for something more fun in the same engine!
Tough guys don't look at explosions.
Hahaha oh man I laughed out SO loud at this. Great, great job.
Hahah this made my day, thank you! My score = 79
Best graphics ever.
You actually turned photoshop-erasing-with-a-low-opacity into a game. Not very fun to play, but really funny!
Really simple and interesting! Would love to see a full rogue-like taking advantage of this approach!
TACTICS! Really dig this. However, it would be much better with smaller maps, I guess (since increasing the movement speed of the pieces would ruin the gameplay as it is).
Being "just 17" is no excuse, man. If you know your game is not the best you can do, do better! Don't give up! Good luck on your next game!
Cool! Reminds me of a jam entry from Plants vs. Zombies creator George Fan... can't remember the name, but you were a giant squid with evolving tentacles.
Wow, this is bad. But also really funny, so I guess it's actually pretty good!
Cute!
Different game, but a bit too weird maybe? Don't know. Cool entry, though!
10-seconds Gauntlet! Haha! I did the same thing as you from a completely opposite angle. Good to see more games representing Gauntlet
A networked multiplayer game? MEGA-AWESOME!
I like the idea of playing coop with myself - like a time-based Lost Vikings! Really cool. But the time limit is actually just annoying - especially if you screw up and have to try again. I believe the game could be really cool if you had removed the mandatory time on characters and if I could go back and forth between them
Wow this looks really good! Wish my game looked as good as this :D
Edit you entry for the download link, I almost gave up before I found it in the comments...
Mac only... =/
You didn't finish making the game, it seems :(
These XNA games never run on my laptop... this game could use a little more polish on camera and controls, I guess.
Quick GM tip: when you save the Windows executable, export as a .ZIP file instead of an .EXE - thus you get rid of the installer that everyone hates ;)
Frankly could barely play it... what was supposed to be going on?
Ambitious idea for a jam! Cool ideas, could have used more polish on controls, camera, etc.
Really cool graphics!
Innovative and fun!
Awesome!
Could REALLY use a restart button...
Love some local multiplayer stuff! Nice job
Awww, Mac only?
Dungeon-crawling never gets old :D
Love me some dungeon stuff!
Haha great stuff, love your art! Check out my game, it's GameMaker as well (with suckier art, of course) :D
Love the mood in this. Really relaxing! My best score = 14
I really love your sprite work!!!
Wow, REALLY cool visual style 5/5
Great all-round execution, congrats!
Really dig the style of this!
My favorite entry to LD so far :D
Wow, this is amazing! Innovative controls and REALLY good level design - especially for a jam game!
The thing that made the controls "click" for me was holding down the JUMP button and then pressing the DASH when I wanted to wall-jump. This switch between two buttons to jump in two different situations takes a bit to get used to, but the game feels really satisfying when you master it!
Great job, 5/5!
Really innovative idea you have there! :D
This is simply amazing! Congratulations on this "goku simulator" you have created!
Great color mixing effect, but PC controls really could have used some improvement. Ended up playing on keyboard, but still felt quite uncomfortable. The 10-seconds theme also felt a little tacked-on, I felt like the game could benefit from not having the time mechanic.
Really cool idea! Actually looks a lot like my entry, go take a look and tell me what you think :)
After the first 3 planets the part where you need to plant the bomb gets too random. Could be an amazing little game if the "blast aliens" part was a little more polished. But really cool overall, love your graphic style!
Cool, just wish you could skip that awkward zoom at the beggining of each stage!
This is awesome :D
A little bit too much trial-and-error, but boy do I love me some poop humor :D
Would like it WAY more if you could skip the beggining
Beautiful graphics!!!
Awesome!!! Could play this for hours! Haha
But for the love of GOD put in a restart button or something. Had to restart your game by closing the window -_-
Could not play... is it really necessary to run it in python? oO
Haha I had a good laugh with this :) If it had a highscore/goals I'd be playing it for unhealthy amounts of time...
I like the vibe, does it have sound? I didn't hear any, maybe it was my browser...
Really interesting! Could have used with snappier movement through the connections, but maybe that was the point? Giving you 5/5 on Mood!
I really like the idea, but I feel like the 10-second theme actually undermined it. If it were a faster-paced game you could make some sick levels! As it is, the 10-second theme is dragging your game down
Took me a while to understand how to play it - really could have used a little more feedback!
Had a lot of fun spamming the arrows and jumping around! Not sure it was the intention hehe
Took me a while to understand how to play, but it's really cool! Wish I had +3 people to play now!!! Great job!

I think you got the camera implementation wrong... it gave me a bit of motion sickness
The Monster Files by Literal Games 2015-08-26T03:04:00
Wow this is amazing :O
I also made a story game, maybe you'll like it
Starvin' Sasquatch by GertJohnny 2015-08-26T03:00:00
Amazing entry, I love the art and the animations. The feel of opening and getting the stuff is really good!
Clumsea by Loutrattitude 2015-08-26T02:56:00
I didn't really know how to control the monster, but I laughed a lot, so I think it's job well done!
Road To Hell by Hyoga-3D 2015-08-26T02:54:00
Yes! I love car games! But the controls are a bit stiff and colliding in the tunnels without being able to see is a bit unfair =(
BreakoutBeast by Downtown 2015-08-26T02:49:00
I love the design of the monster and the enemies, too bad you didn't get to work on the background as well =/
A Fox's Journey by Pusty 2015-08-26T02:43:00
A lot of visual glitches on windows 7 =(
Hunger by jphelps 2015-08-26T02:42:00
The web link simply downloads the html instead.
Game is a bit too simple and unpolished, but a good start. Good luck on your next jams!
Monster by SMASH BASH 2015-08-26T02:34:00
Nice job! I also made a story game, maybe you'll enjoy it.
Collateral by mklee 2015-08-26T02:22:00
Amazing! I love the look and feel. Would give you 5/5 if only for your logo vignetter and sound :)
The fact that the blasts kill more people than you do is a genious touch

You can fall off the game world :O
Tales of the Underworld: Rebellion of the Souls by ladybenko 2015-08-26T02:10:00
Simple but solid platformer. Mayube too simple? I just didn't feel you explored the theme - Hades isn't really a monster, after all

With a Monster Heart by RegisFrey 2015-08-26T01:56:00
Cool idea, but it lacks a bit of feedback on the clicks, and I kept getting unity console errors clogging up the screen =(
Wasted Waters by psychonull 2015-08-26T01:53:00
Fun thing but a bit frustrating that we can't really see where the humans are when leaving the water or falling down from the sky =(

How do you do that, seriously? Congratulations on being awesome.
Grave by uheartbeast 2015-08-26T01:10:00
Great animation and controls! Really impressive for a compo entry. The coins (or whatever that it is) have some weird crazy attraction, though, and they are not really used for anything. Apart from that, great job!
C.L.E.M. by Shackhal 2015-08-26T01:02:00
It's a decent stealth game, but maybe you could use a less punishing raycast when trying to figure out if the guard will see the player or not? If my had was but a pixel out of cover the guard would be alerted =/
Dead Love by Vidinu 2015-08-26T00:55:00
The link says web, but it's actually a downloadable game with an installer. You might want to change that!
Stealth Yeti by cottontrek 2015-08-26T00:52:00
Great game, visuals and level design! Could have been one of the best games in the jam if the controls were a bit better. The Yeti slides a bit too much when sliding, and jumping is too fast - coupled with the way AI works, it can get very frustrating. But it's a small thing in an otherwise excellent submission!
Tale of the Descendant by glerikud 2015-08-25T23:36:00
Nice story, wonder if there's a less horrifying ending?
I made a story game as well, you might want to check it out.
Cvltists and Crusaders by mooncalf 2015-08-25T23:04:00
The demon's excuses are hilarious! Very fun gameplay, but it gets boring fast because the difficulty seems to stay the same forever...
Would gladly pay for a fully-featured version with better assets!
Labyrinth of Loneliness by LTPATS 2015-08-25T22:51:00
Nice entry, great mood! :)
Run, Frankenstein's Monster, Run! by Jacksendary 2015-08-25T22:17:00
There's no way to exit the game =/
(Playing the downloadable version, WebGL didn't load for me)
Camp Starvation by Double Zero One Zero 2015-08-25T22:14:00
Amazing entry. Only a few small details that, if fixed, could make this easily a top-10 entry:
- Time run too fast! I barely have time to assess my people and have to click super fast. Make it slower and/or give me the option to skip to feeding time when I want to
- People stole more supplies than I had. I got negative supplies, and after the feeding phase the game froze. This happened on my 2 runs in the game =(
Should Have Worn Socks Today by Pierrec 2015-08-25T21:50:00
One of my favorite entries! Spent a shameful amount of time after the first play just trying out new outfits...
Could use a built-in Print-screen button! Instant game of the year material if you did it with twitter/FB sharing
Chicken Lord by TheGCJammers 2015-08-25T21:41:00
I laughed out VERY loud when the demon showed up the first time
I'm a Monster Rawr! by bakakyo 2015-08-25T21:25:00
It's so cute! Being your first game ever you should be SUPER proud! :D Can't wait to see what you two come up with next!
Jenkaiu by PeYMaN 2015-08-25T20:53:00
Jenga with monsters? Genious! Good, simple and fun game.

Best game in the jam so far! IT'S SO CUTE <3
