Loved the game but the gameplay could have been better with some variety...I tried to drag the clouds away for a long period of time and thought that it was a glitch but then I realized the storm clouds are more ominous looking :) And the pixel art was also very nice!
I liked the simplistic style but I was really hoping for more in the gameplay department. But then I realized that you were gunning for narrative in this game and I must admit that you've achieved what you're going for. Overall good job :)
This game is so good in terms of the atmosphere it creates. Love the lighting on this one. This game would immensely benefit from a proper character instead of placeholders. Great job overall!
The game looks incredible! The gameplay was also quite good although. I was able to get 5 dogs was that all there was to it? Or am I missing something? Overall quite nice though.
I really liked the art style of this game!!! The simple strategy element also was neat. All in all a well polished experience.
This game is fantastic. It's amazing to see what you've managed to do in such a short period of time. The control's are bit iffy but then again...This game is fantastic.period.
HaHa really funny game! The sound effects complement the game very well. Really enjoyed it. The pixel art is also kinda cute. Great job guys!!!
HaHa this is what happens when you combine rock dna with something,now I know. Untitled-2.png Had great fun seeing the weird things but maybe a better feedback would have been better. At first I wasn't sure about what I was supposed to do. However the game was funny but could do better with more animations.
Great game! Solid mix of strategy and resource control. However I wish there were some little animations here and there. But don't worry the gameplay mechanics were solid. Great job!
Neat idea and a flawless execution. However couldn't get past 300!!!
The graphics are so nice!!! This doesn't really feel like a jam game it's so polished. Great job!
First of all the game looks incredible!!! The puzzles are nice. This would make an excellent mobile game as it is quite addictive. I think short levels serves the game well as players will not feel frustrated if they fail again and again. Great job looks really polished!
I liked it!!! It's a nice little game with simple strategy elements.
Had great fun with the game. Great work!!!
A very gorgeous game! Nice work on the graphics.
HaHa this is much better than programmer art. The game plays great and what more can I say...I will download the android one later...Feels like a little treat the android one :)
Your game reminded me of a game I played a long time back called Chalk. It was a cool little game with a similar art style. Your game plays nice and I tried to solve the puzzles without cheating :) This really can be something much more grander. Great job!
@samusoidal Yeah sure. Here's a gameplay video of chalk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYfgRIfqVfM and the download is here http://www.konjak.org
I really liked the game very much! One of my favourite ones so far!
I was going to say great job on the graphics but then I saw you opted out of it. But still I enjoyed the game very much. The game was a bit hard I think. After a point I spent goofing around getting hit by truks!!! :)
The game was fun! Nice entry.
This game brings back so many good memories. I got nostalgic playing this. The ascii graphics are very appealing and on top of that roguelikes are my favourite genre so I really liked this! Also the music added a nice atmosphere...Wish it lasted a little longer.
I rated your game earlier but didn't have time to leave a comment. I really liked this game. For a first time effort this came along pretty well! All the best for your future endeavors!
Really well polished game! The controls were really responsive and at the begining I tried munching the rocks(?) :) The game ran smooth and the art was really nice. Overall a very strong entry!!!
Reminded me of Gravity's Ghost. It plays really nice and the stick art for once looks charming!!
I liked it and I'm sure next time you'll finish it. Carry on mate!!!
Great game!!! Man how did you manage to pull off such polish in such a short time!!! Well done :)
Cool aesthetics! The animations were very juicy :) I liked how much atmosphere you managed to pull off with a minimalist art style.
@Firewill Sorry to hear that you can't run the game. I have uploaded a new build with air installer included. If you wan't you can check it. It's really inspiring to see you found it kinda cute :)
@firewill Sorry to hear that mate. Did the game install at all? If it has installed check out the game installation folder and I've provided the air installer. Alternately try out this link to download air it works https://get.adobe.com/air/
@slimabob Thanks for liking the game!!! I had great fun making the jam version and hopefully will expand on it in the future.
@jorbits Sorry to hear that and this is really frustating. I can't figure out what could've gone wrong.All you need is an adobe air runtime to play the game. Here's the link https://get.adobe.com/air/ but if the game doesn't install at all that is really frustating.
@nofxboy1234 Thanks!!! Glad to see you liked it! @navot Nice to see you liked it!!! Most of the problems you mentioned was fixed to a certain extent in the post jam version as you've guessed. Regarding the post jam versions not installing it was due to a weird certificate problem that happens when the updated versions of game executables are signed with different digital certificates,a goof up upon my end :( I have fixed the problem and uploaded new post jam versions and they should install without a hitch...so if you still feel inclined you can check those. Anyways thanks for checking my game out! @nilead Hey thanks man!!! Really appreciate it!!!
@epiplon Please download and install the game from the website. The itch app installation is not working for some reason.
@vidinu Glad to see you liked it!!! Most of the glitches are fixed in the post jam version. Yeah jumping would be great and the character could actually jump but I decided to actually scrape the feature at the end as I couldn't come up with satisfying puzzles involving the mechanic within the time frame of the jam. I would definitely check out your game the first thing in the morning as it's already past 3 a.m here :)
@lepatryckduffy Thanks for liking the game!
@wtoa Thanks for liking the art. The graphics were all hand drawn and then imported to photoshop. Also all the frames of the cat animation were hand drawn on paper.
@somethinboutgames Glad to hear that you liked the art. The jumping was left out intentionally. Yeah showing the up key was a goof up on my part :( The glitches are fixed in the post jam version but shouldn't have been there in the first place.
@jaytord That is fixed in the post jam version, you can no longer do that :)
@paperclipbadger The red hearts damage the player as well as the clone. So you can use the clone to take damage for you. There are multiple ways of solving a level. As for the clone not wrapping around I didn't find this during testing so might have overlooked something.
@sachos345 Yeah the jam version is pretty buggy due to the lack of time I had. I almost skipped the jam. The bugs you mention have been fixed in the post jam version :) And no that's no level loading bug that's called lack of content ;) Anyways glad to see you liked the art!
@Samusoidal @Burgee Sorry to hear that you guys couldn't install the game. I can't figure out why this is happening to some people. I could have easily used Unity to code the game but no I had to go with Adobe Air for nostalgia's sake. Feeling so angry with myself now :(
@burgee @samusoidal I've uploaded game files that no longer need separate Adobe Air installation. You can check out the post jam version if you are still interested. I figured that you need to have air installed prior to installing the game otherwise for some weird reason the jam version will not install.
@philomory Hey thanks! Nice to see someone mentioning Braid as it is one of my all time favourite games and one of the main reasons I got into game developing! And yeah I'll develop this further. @acuity The clone cat once spawned is supposed to trace back to the original starting position of Warpy if the shift key is held long enough. As Warpy is actually spawned at the top of the level initially so if you hold down the shift key long enough the clone will trace it's way back to the top of the screen. So the trick here is to position the clone by holding the shift key long enough so that it positions itself where you want it to be in order to solve a puzzle. Remember the clone can take damage for you.
@applejam @anim-ace @furiouswitch Hey thanks for liking the game...I'm currently working on improving the game based on the feedback I've received.
@anna16 Yeah the glitches are mostly taken care of...Thanks for playing! @daisychubb I'm glad that you like the game so much...I'm already expanding on the game and hope to release it sometime later this year if everything goes well :) @manou @belga54 Thanks for liking the game!
@xxdoombox Hey thanks for liking the game! I always liked games which lets you explore on your own,figure out the world and mechanics out of your own curiosity. I don' like games where there is too much handholding. Now that I'm going to make this into a full fledged game you're going to find lots of secrets , hidden mechanics and what not. There is going to be an emphasis on exploration and minimum handholding. If you find this interesting please follow the game on twitter https://www.twitter.com/maxnim1986

@jupiter-hadley Hey thanks for including my game in your video series!!! I really appreciate it!
First of all nice to see someone using Ruby!!! Now regarding the gameplay the puzzles were neat but thought that maybe they were on the easier side. I found the art quite appealing. So yeah great job there and you've definitely got something that you can expand on in the future.
Game felt dreary which is how it's supposed to be! The game looks extremely polished given the little time it took to make it. Hopefully you'll turn this into some sort of prison simulator :)
This is so cool! Music would have made it much better but can't really complain as this one is a meaty offering.Really liked it.Great work.
Nice little game!!!
Nice little game!!!
The atmosphere you've managed to create is really great. I really liked it overall!!!
Hey man the game is really cool! Definitely one of the better ones that I've olayed this time.You used the theme really well.I managed to get to 1300! Great job!!!
The game is pretty good. I love the looks of it especially! Great job!
Wow this game is hard but a nice kind of hard so I really liked it...And I agree with Christian above that some sound effects would have been really cool. But I'm not complaining as what you've made is pretty cool!!!
Wow this game is extremely polished and I found the catapult very cute. Maybe it would have been better if we would be able to rotate the catapult on our will because once it reaches the final position there is no going back. But that adds some difficulty so it's probably okay. The music was also very well done. And a special mention should be made of the ui, for a jam game it was top notch. Great job guys!
Gameplay was really nice. I especially loved the graphics, looks well polished for a game jam. Like others I also found it difficult to jump to higher platforms. Overall pretty good though so cheers mate!!!
Hey I found the art quite nice however try to avoid installers in jam games as people tend to avoid installing something they are not sure of. It's better to upload a zip or host the game online. I found this the hard way. However nice game you have here other than that. Great work!
First of all kudos for pulling of a solid roguelike in a short span! I found the game quite fun but often repetitive. However simple graphics have always appealed to me so I found them nice. Overall good job mate!
Wow lovely little game you have here...I like the procedural generation and especially the graphics..Great work!
