Love the idea of different scale of time.
Some bugs (rotating buildings).
I think you need... more time ... to polish everything up, and add some "dynamics" to the mechanics.
Curious to see a more finished version !
Nice idea. A bit hard, I quit at the level with the bombs.
Maybe you have to find a thing to help the player a bit : a sound when you approach a bomb, or some checkpoint in level, to avoid restarting every time at the begining...
Did you make all of this in the WE ? It's impressive.
I've finished the game ! Good gameplay and ambiance.
Definitly need a mobile version.
The only negative point is the dash-in-the-air trigger maybe to precise.
I found interesting the multiple level-puzzle with dimension switch.
Sometimes the dimension does not change. It is a bug ?
I don't like the levels with enemies and this is a bit difficult !
Nice ambiance (cristals and sounds), but I regret the almost empty caves.
Really good idea to put the game in pause by default.
It took me time to figure where were my creatures.
Also, I'd expect a message to congrat me when I take the "artefact".
Good puzzle with good and simple mechanics, if we ignore the theme.
I can't pass the Thief level with the 3 beholders ("Don't get surrounded") ! I get kill even if I use the double move.
Really nice and efficient graphic identity.
Took me some time to understand control.
ncannasse : it's like a grand finale :)
robashton : you have to put the minions (the red ones) where you want (by clicking the board) to "guide" the big chief (the blue one) to the exit.
Frozen Fractal, Burhuc :
I wanted to put an explanation, but I rather go to sleep :)
The big chief is always going in that order : front of him, his right, his left or back.
The number of minions is shown on the left bar.
At the begining I wanted to put many types of minions (explosives, teleporters, ...), but you know, time...
And good idea to put a fast-forward, thank you.
tripleVisionGames : What version of IE ?
mboaj, Joror : Oh yes ! I'd like, too :)
Maybe soon :)
Good : instructions on the floor. Ambiance.
Bad : Sloooooow moves, empty level.
Interesting, no creature to kill.
The ventolins are too easy to find : it will be better to have a foreground (to hide behind).
And I want to see the photos taken at the end :)
Very nice pixel arts !
Sometimes, controls seems to be less responsive (turn while go up).
Fun !
I had "Monster" many times.
Me too, on MacOSX 10.8.4.

Interesting, but almost unplayable on a laptop !
Can we see the source ?
Good :
Awesome Moebius bird and animation
Nice (but repetitive) music
Intersting gameplay
Less good :
Hard to understand the game play : I believe the bounce was part of the gameplay
Screen size.
That is really simple... but efficient : I just wanted to finish it (and I did) :)
Looks like the enemy can hurt the hero a bit too early.
Very good graphics and sounds.
Very smooth.
I don't like the "auto fire".
Ouch, my eyes ! This remember me my old games (on cassette) !
Basic idea, and very fun gameplay !
Excellent use of the theme and very good intro.
I have some troubles with the limited jump or the collision detection.
Worth dig for more mechanics (tools, weapons, ...) and better collisions !
Excellent base, I want to see more !
Good start.
You have to work with your collision problems, and add some dangers or chalenges to your levels.
Nice graphics and mechanics.
A bit repetitive after some duels.
Nice idea. Match for the "Death is useful" theme too :)
We definitely needs a "fastforward" button to kiil the current ghost now.
Perfect for the theme !
That is awesome. Speed, move, music.
Nice idea. You have to make a web version of this !
"Take that, bourgeois" : excellent scenario :)
I love the tumble above the tables.
Nice work.
I am sad because the walls doesn't explode !
Very good idea.
Simple control may be good, but I don't understand how it works.
Good : Smooth animation and UI.
Bad : difficult and repetitive.
Good : Nice little puzzle game. Nice graphics and transitions.
Bad : Levels are a bit simple. The "R" button doesn't work on Opera/Mac
Interesting, but you need to explain the "ten" cards.
As you said, the Daisy part is not perfect (maybe put just a clue of her position somewhere in the village), and the end is a bit desapointing.
But really nice work, and interesting use of the theme.
No framerate problem for me (Chrome / OSX).
Really good Advance Wars clone, with quick rounds.
Don't know easily if I can play or not : maybe add the information more clearly than only the color of timer.
I love to smash the wizard after taking half of his fireball.
Just finished it ! Love the idea. Nice ambiance.
Deserve a bit more "cleaner" graphics.
Thanks for all the reviews !
GOOD : Cute, remind me old Master-system games. Nice bounce on monsters.
BAD : Not very original nor exciting. A bit lagging (flash in Opera).
IDEA : Maybe put various weapons to kill various enemies.
GOOD : Like the idea to keep the chest. Fine graphics.
BAD : Don't like controls (I have a trackpad) : Very hard to play.
Good overall !
GOOD : Nice idea ! Good level design ! I like the integrated tutorial.
Bad : I am stuck with the "key module" : I don't know what to do (I don't have module : I have restarted).
Interesting !
Reverse gravity is fun.
Like the others says : more animation (dead monster, collect orb...) !
Like others, It is much too slow.
Maybe interesting with other fight moves (defend, charge, ...)
Fun ! I've managed to see all the paths.
And I love the happy endind (spoiler) : You are elevated to the status of cultural monarch and rule with a cool but even hand.
Peaceful ! I love the slow zoom out.
You have to export and publish the path of each players !
GOOD : Very beautiful and smooth. I like the little time needed to "load" the bow.
LESS GOOD : Too much waves in the level. I wanted to see more level art !
BUG : At the bottom left, there is problem : I get stuck sometimes. When I get out of the screen, I can't get back.
IDEA : Introduce special arrows in some levels : auto returning arrow, auto aim arrow, ...
CONCLUSION : Very good :)
GOOD : I really like the idea ! Make your own game if you want to play :)
BAD : I think the editor may be much simpler (source ? temp cards ?).
And where is the theme ?
IDEA : In the beginning, I believed that we all share the same blocks (You only got one game, for all).
Overall : I like the experiment.
GOOD : I like the setting. Good run animation. The one button action. The minimalism.
BAD : Too difficult ! Too slow (maybe he accelarate later ?), too small
IDEA : Double press on "space" to jump or boost ?
Cool ! Simple design, good gameplay.
I liked :
- The evolution of gameplay (rush, bubble)
- the simplicity and efficacity of gameplay
I didnt liked :
- I think some place are a bit too hard (or maybe is the control)
- Don't like the keyboard (space, ctrl)
Maybe you should add things to collect to encourage exploration ?
Good work !
That's a great game !
That bear remind me Rocky the Raccoon (from Pocky and Rocky SNES).
Well, some constructive critics :
- I love the "FPS" inventory. But it could disappear after some seconds when we collect a treasure.
- About the one big level : That's good, but I'd liked a map as a treasure (showing only where a already go) to help me to figure where I have to go next.
- Really need a save command (or checkpoints).
- Have you considered mouse / touch command to port it on tablet ?
Good work ! Can't wait to see the full game.
Excellent game base. Like everyone, I really like the core concept.
Here are some constructive critics :
- The first air-raid appears to late. You should add it during the "tutorial", just after the build.
- It takes me time to understand that each room can contain one construction, and time to understand that I need to build a bedroom to have people.
- You should consider adding a timer for next raid. Or even an not-precise timer like "Chances to have a raid in next 10s = 30%"
- You should add some more mecanics while running outside. Maybe concurents neighboors, platforms, or something.
- You should add mouse/touch control for all moves, it will make a great tablet game.
Good work ! Want to see more !
Very beautiful graphics. A bit hard to control.
That game is good.
Customization is great, and digging is good.
Controlling the laser is not easy with a trackpad.
You should work more on this game. I want to play it on my tablet (really, i'll buy it).
With 48h of more work, this game will be super-awesome.
Lots of thing are good, so I'll point the less good things :
- I get sometimes stucked between 2 blocks (with the standard tool)
- It takes me time to understand the grenade launcher.
- After the laser (awesome), I sometimes fall on a mine :(
- What about adding one hit point or two ?
- I want to play it on my tablet !
Good work!
Never see this boat coming back :(
Interesting moody concept.
But, IHMO :
- Deserve a better main character
- Don't really like the music, but really appreciate the underwater music effect
- Can't see the point while playing. Maybe you should make the boat appears when calling, or something.
- When I drown, the first feeling was good (background whale, music, ground). But I guess it's too long.
Want to see a more polished version of this !
Very interesting mecanics, nice transformation !
Some critics :
- It takes me some times to understand the rocks and the stunned state.
- When I exit the stunned state, sometimes a take another rock. And I die. It's frustating.
- You should add obstacles on the road.
- Maybe you should add a gauge for the transformation. And then you can add powerups to rise or lower the gauge.
Curious to see the evolution of the game !
Simple and efficient ! Base mecanics are goods.
You need to add power ups (explose line, jump boost, joker block, pushable blocks, slow, ...) because it will be a bit annoying otherwise.
I'd like to see the next block too.
Good work.
Nice idea. To be continued.
I realize at the last level that I can switch path while running.
I think you have to find special nodes (multi directionals, reverse...).
Fun ! But wtf ?
Super smooth. Nice graphics.
A bit repetitive.
A LITTLE PRECISION ABOUT PROSPECTION :
Each cell number represent the number of bombs in their neighborhood BUT EXCLUDING themselves.
Thanks for all your comments and advices.
I've just pushed a post-compo version with small adjustments.
Hope you'll enjoy !
Love the wave effect.
It's a good start, but it deserve to add more game mecanics.
Really interesting. Love the press intermedes.
Maybe you should add some more mecanics (kill some boats with temporary powers, moving tourists, ...).
Good start !
I love the imps ! Nice music.
Good "one touch" mecanics, but a bit annoying at a moment.
Fun !
You really should enlarge the size of the text.
And add a special power (every 10 word or something) to "push back" the words, because when you lose a word, it's hard to get back in the race.
But nice little game !
Interesting game ! The smooth moves are plaisant.
I think you can add things to collect (maybe to regain life) to increase the gameplay.
Can't play on Chrome nor Firefox (OSX) (never stop to load, white screen).
Uh. That's ok now, it was juste very long.
Nice graphics. Of course it miss lots of things : better animations, animated moves, players and oppents stats...
But it's a good start !
Original setting. But I can't see the difference between the 3 elements.
Maybe you should make different "attacks" from the outside, and each elements (love, nature..) can defend from one better than other ?
Weird. Ugly. Nice.
Love the idea of shooting blocks to get in, but now I'm stuck.
Can't get the whole logic.
Can't find how to pass the levels with green blocks (the one after your big screenshot).
Windows only :(
I'll try to build it for *nix.
Good idea the mecha and the guy mecanic.
-Nice character graphics, and love the mecha animation (remind me a little Metal Slug) !
-Good level design.
But
- I don't like the control keys. Maybe you should remove the "E" key (at least for the guy).
-Some bugs on collisions.
- Need work on the tiles (walls, grounds, doors...)
Keep going !
Interesting base. Maybe better if we can find bomb exploding blocks around, or some super powers. Maybe an "auto-fire" option too.
Clean graphics, and nice whale !
I had a problem : dig all I can until I found the polar bear. Then I'm stick : the left blocks are still dark.
Music and graphics create a nice atmosphere.
Game play is a bit repetitive however.
A bit slow.
I am a mole, why can't I dig ?
Interesting puzzle game. Good mood.
IMHO :
- You should introduce the "trigger / wall" concept more easily, like you did for the mouse commands.
- You should show if we own a block or not.
- The energy bar reduce to zero when I try to switch and have not enough energy. The refill is slow. Its very frustating (I guess it's on purpose, but I feel it a bit too much).
Quite impossible with a trackpad.
Cute ! I see here a good puzzle for children on ipad or android tablet !
Great animation, good interpretation of theme. Nice mecanics.
But I don't understand the rule :/
Do I have to take the leaf then get the nut in the hole ? or do I need to avoid the hole ? Because there is nothing written when I get the nut in the hole, and I can't manage to avoid the hole when I take the leaf...
About control : you should add a key (enter?) to release the nut.
Good work, want to see more !
Cute graphics. Nice concept !
Everything is a bit slow.
Good start !
I have to add :
It's a bit buggy : a monster block the exit (he don't move) :( !
You definitely should replace the jet-ski by rat-traps !
Good one !
But the camera... too fast !
Can't be more difficult.
Lower the difficulty (the start at least), and you've a really good game.
It is not Web ? Windows is needed.
A bit buggy but fun old school game, with nice graphics.
What can we do with chests ?
Like Shire says ...
-I loved the art style
-The controls were hard to get used to.
-There was no clear goal.
Really good and solid idea. Polished work.
But I think :
-It's going too fast too quick !
-I can't see enough difference between particules. Change color of tritons ?
-I don't feel confortable with the keys. Up arrow allow me to go up or down... Maybe use the four direction ?
- What about touching circles ?
Good work btw !
Super idea. Like the overthinking mecanics.
It's really frustating (yeah as in real life). Sometimes she react strangely : looks happy then agressive (while talking nicely - i think).
Maybe you should add information about the progression (remove the headphone, getting closer, looking at you).
Good idea & work ! Curious to see how you make the tree of the discussion.
Fun concept :D.
+1 for the moving barrel.
Why not multiples barrels (with only one good)
And some phyics events (wind change, gravity ...)
Nice ambiance. Remind me "Alone in the dark".
Interesting but is there any tactic to win ? He eat too much :p
Maybe you should add some clues to show how many truffles left.
Box ! box ! box !
Could be interesting if you show a counter of destroyed boxes, and some specials items.
Could be a mash up of "Mario Kart" (the Ballon battle) and "Pain"
Very inovative game !
IMHO :
- time limit is too short.
- deserve a better bg music
- don't like vibrating blocks
Good work overall ! I expect to see more !
Looks good. Like the idea.
But I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Maybe you should add some rewards to see if what the player do is good or not.
I guess I can stay stucked some times without noticing it.
