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
Had a lot of fun spamming the arrows and jumping around! Not sure it was the intention hehe
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!
Awww, Mac only?
Could REALLY use a restart button...
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.
Ran the game as administrator and the AI worked fine! Even though the difficulty curve is a little crazy, this is the most playable game I've had the pleasure to try at this LD. Really cool mood, really cool take on classic mechanics, and great use of the 10-seconds theme! Great job!
Would like it WAY more if you could skip the beggining
I really love your sprite work!!!
Really simple and interesting! Would love to see a full rogue-like taking advantage of this approach!
Really dig the style of this!
Hahah this made my day, thank you! My score = 79
Really cute! :D
10-seconds Gauntlet! Haha! I did the same thing as you from a completely opposite angle. Good to see more games representing Gauntlet
You actually turned photoshop-erasing-with-a-low-opacity into a game. Not very fun to play, but really funny!
Really interesting! Could have used with snappier movement through the connections, but maybe that was the point? Giving you 5/5 on Mood!
This is... different. Not a very fun activity, but really creative and unusual. Kudos for that!
This is simply amazing! Congratulations on this "goku simulator" you have created!
Dungeon-crawling never gets old :D
Haha great stuff, love your art! Check out my game, it's GameMaker as well (with suckier art, of course) :D
You didn't finish making the game, it seems :(
Frankly could barely play it... what was supposed to be going on?
Haha this is awesome, love your "Are you ready"
My favorite entry to LD so far :D
Beautiful graphics!!!
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!
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!

Great job, 5/5! Would love to know what you think about my game as well!
Really cute visuals, love your style. Hate the music, though =/
Could have used some more feedback - sound, visuals, anything - on the buttons/cells...
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
A little bit too much trial-and-error, but boy do I love me some poop humor :D
Wow, REALLY cool visual style 5/5
A networked multiplayer game? MEGA-AWESOME!
Cute!
These XNA games never run on my laptop... this game could use a little more polish on camera and controls, I guess.
Ambitious idea for a jam! Cool ideas, could have used more polish on controls, camera, etc.
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 ;)
Wow this looks really good! Wish my game looked as good as this :D
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.
Hahaha oh man I laughed out SO loud at this. Great, great job.
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 -_-
Awesome!
Took me a while to understand how to play it - really could have used a little more feedback!
Wow, this is bad. But also really funny, so I guess it's actually pretty good!
What can I say if not... "good job"
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.
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!
Nope.
Different game, but a bit too weird maybe? Don't know. Cool entry, though!
Really innovative idea you have there! :D
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
Best graphics ever.
Haha I had a good laugh with this :) If it had a highscore/goals I'd be playing it for unhealthy amounts of time...
Thanks man :D
But unfortunately it's not "guys", it's just me... Would love to have a good artist and a decent programmer on board!
Thanks for the comments, people! Yeah, the game is weird, you gotta give it some time, but it's really fun after you learn it :D
Thanks for the kind words, Schwiggy :D
Oops, it's fixed now, Lord_X. Dropbox playing tricks on me!
Thanks for giving the game some time, ConflictiveLabs :)
Wow, X-COM? I'm humbled for you to just mention the name in the same page as my game, thanks :D
Thanks Zammy! The pathfinding bug is a known issue (see description), but at least I think it's the only bug in the build.
As for mute and restart, I ran out of time =( I can't add those now, I guess, since that would be adding new features to the game and the rules forbid it...
Thanks Gabriel, your game is awesome!
Wow, blown away by the high ratings, guys! This is my first time participating in LD, I'm really happy for this! Thank you very much :D
Really cool graphics!
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).
Innovative and fun!
Cool, just wish you could skip that awkward zoom at the beggining of each stage!
I like the vibe, does it have sound? I didn't hear any, maybe it was my browser...
Love the mood in this. Really relaxing! My best score = 14
Could not play... is it really necessary to run it in python? oO
Edit you entry for the download link, I almost gave up before I found it in the comments...
Great all-round execution, congrats!
Mac only... =/
Took me a while to understand how to play, but it's really cool! Wish I had +3 people to play now!!! Great job!
This is awesome :D
Really cool idea! Actually looks a lot like my entry, go take a look and tell me what you think :)
Tough guys don't look at explosions.
Love me some dungeon stuff!
Love some local multiplayer stuff! Nice job
Wow Gabriel, I played this game BEFORE I noticed it was yours! The game is indeed simple, but the physics-based lava looks AWESOME *_*
I felt like the controls were a little too imprecise, very hard to make the jumps, navigate, etc.
I also made a boomerang game where you hold the button to throw it further :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
Great art! :D
Denis, the game should run at 60fps. For some reason it sometimes runs at 30 for some people, not sure why o.O
Would have been much comfortable if I could instantly pick up the boomerang by walking next to it...
Haha this is so cute, and the puzzles are fun :)
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/
This is awesome :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
Excellent, excellent game for a jam. Really impressed! I wast losing the rock-papers-scissors all the fucking time though haha
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!
Interesting idea, but perhaps too ambitious for 48h? Nice style, though
Wow, one of the best I played in a LD, really excellent work there!
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 :)
Wow this is awesome! And a Compo entry, really nice!
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 :)
Amazing, great job as usual!
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
Fucking awesome :D
Very, very, very good :D Congrats!
Cool ideas and lightning! But gameplay isn't really there...
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
Nice style :D
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
Got seizure, thanks
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!
Best, most polished game I've seen on this LD so far! Congratulations :D
Simply amazing. Thank you
Best entry so far. Really impressed that you did this all by yourself :O
Wow, I'm actually amazed that you are actually making it all the way to the Epic items, haha
And you are right, Cake_Catastrophe and Norgg. We had just a single design pass on the quests, and they are kind of broken in the end for the exact reasons you mentioned.
Again, thanks very much for playing and for the feedback :)
Can't download :(
Amazing, congratulations!
Best-looking entry I've seen so far! Very innovative gameplay as well, even though it can feel quite random sometimes. Congratulations!
Amazing Spy Party-esque entry, really fun to play (especially if you don't need to play with the keyboard like we did haha)
Great game and very polished as usual :)
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!
I may be a little biased because I LOVE CATS, but this is super cool. Especially dig the cat animation, great game!
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 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
YOU HAVE A STEAM PUG WHY CAN'T I PLAY ANYTHING? :'(
I really liked the low-poly art, especially the fire :D Gameplay could have used a little bit more "oomph" though
Amazing, I love everything about this
Fantastic! :O
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
Best game in the jam so far! IT'S SO CUTE <3
Amazing entry, I love the art and the animations. The feel of opening and getting the stuff is really good!
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 =(
Wow this is amazing :O
I also made a story game, maybe you'll like it
I was uploading the game... it should be up now =)
Oops I uploaded the wrong build :o
Sleep deprivation taking its toll
No man, you played the old build! Hahaha
The correct build is up now
Thanks DrZanuff <3
Wow thanks :D
The wait will be worth it! Not even WE know what's going to happen, and we'll create a whole new scene to tell the story that we all will decide together!
Yes, disperse.
corupta, music and sound play a HUGE role in the game. Maybe it was your browser?
The ending is available! :D
Please avoid spoilers in the comment sections, ok? :)
There's no way to exit the game =/
(Playing the downloadable version, WebGL didn't load for me)
Nice entry, great mood! :)
How do you do that, seriously? Congratulations on being awesome.
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 =(
Haha great stuff, love the descriptions :D
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!
Haha wonderful idea =)
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 =(
I love the design of the monster and the enemies, too bad you didn't get to work on the background as well =/
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!
Nice job! I also made a story game, maybe you'll enjoy it.
Dropbox error =(
Simple but solid platformer. Mayube too simple? I just didn't feel you explored the theme - Hades isn't really a monster, after all
A lot of visual glitches on windows 7 =(
I think you got the camera implementation wrong... it gave me a bit of motion sickness
Nice story, wonder if there's a less horrifying ending?
I made a story game as well, you might want to check it out.
Dropbox links broken =(
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!
This is why I love Ludum Dare.
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!
I didn't really know how to control the monster, but I laughed a lot, so I think it's job well done!
Cool idea, but it lacks a bit of feedback on the clicks, and I kept getting unity console errors clogging up the screen =(
I laughed out VERY loud when the demon showed up the first time
Best-looking game in the jam, hands down! :O
If there was a sixth star for "Mood" you would have gotten it.
You can fall off the game world :O
Dumb but fun! Hahah :D
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
