WOW! I absolutely adore the graphical style and the sound design. This piece of art goes far beyond gaming.

Very unique game. Love the graphics, music, atmosphere, narration and mechanics. would be great with some sense of purpose, but then again that is what the worm thinks too.
Really cute! And I love the scroll idea
cool game, but i had trouble getting out in the caves, and is there a light there somehow?
I actually enjoyed this quite a bit. Really felt like the submarine was moving. you should make a game out of it in the future!
simple and fun game, but wish I could go up and enter the shop before my drill is broken.
Very beautiful, and cool, different idea. I kind of wish there was more of an objective in the game, or maybe I missed it?
Nice concept, but too difficult for me. I had a hard enough time hammering space so I couldn't really figure out the other controls because all my focus was on the panic.. But then again I guess that is a very good interpretation of what panic is like in real life... music is simple and cool.
Well done! great work in such short time.
Simple, cool, lightweight game. easy to play, and a lot of fun. good job!
Fun game once I figured out how to play, good job! You should defiantly take this beyond the competition.
Man that guy has a busy day! Really cool and different game. I like it =)
nice, different game. and great creative use of the theme! I enjoyed spying on those people more than I should have... lol

Poor Boomer!!! :.( I really enjoyed the game though. cute and disturbing at the same time. awesome.
really cute game, I like the double worlds, and I love that your game is html5. I sometimes had trouble with the underground world going in black though.
Cute game! I really got into getting those boats
That is for sure the weirdest surf game I ever played. I like it! I want to see the surfer burn when he hits the lava, which kind of scares me a bit.
I feel my touch skills increase by the second I play this game. very hard though, or maybe my typing is just really slow ;)
Wow that's fast! Lol great game, a lot of fun, and the ocras look real scary.
Cool idea and fun game. would love to have tilt/swipe control on Android but I get that its not the right thing to prioritize in those short 48hours.
I love the music, atmosphere and interface of this game, however I don't understand how to play. I seem to only be able to move flames up and down and nothing else really happens. Is there a bug in the web version? I don't have windows, so can't really tell if they are different. Please, I'd love to play this game, and I'll wait to rate it in case you fix the web version. Tweet me at @NoorStudios if you do!
Ok, After instruction I found the little girl in the dark (darkness really looms!). I like the concept a lot, but maybe just a little more light at least around the flames? Great work though.
Cute and fun game, perfect for android. the music is very suitable as well. You should develop for app store submissions! I feel the theme link is a little weak, but the sheep's cuteness makes up for it.

Unique concept, a lot of fun, but difficult!
very weird indeed. but also weirdly fun.
This game is so much fun! It takes me back to playing snake on my first nokia =) music is cool too. and difficulty level is perfect, not so hard it gets annoying, yet hard enough that I want to try again. good job!
Cool idea, nice to see something that is not a digging game for a change ;) that shoe tricked me into believing it would be a coin and I lost! Overall a fun and different game. Good job!
I have a soft spot for penguin games =) This was a lot of fun, good job!
Eating Ocras four times your size is so much fun!
Solid game. It is the first game so far where I remember thinking I need to check that out just from the screenshots. A lot of fun, and great looking. Good job =)
Thanks! yeah, I will definetly change the controls in the future.. my idea was to apply force on the spheres rather then dragging them directly, but i think it makes the game too difficult to control. Unfortunately I realized that too late to change it. Glad you liked the concept though, I'm planning to develop it further for Android/iOS.
I found the silliness that was causing all this unpredictability, unfortunately after the deadline :/ Anyways, I updated the game hoping it lies within the allowed post deadline bug fix exception (it's a matter of a misplaced line of code).... feel free to try it again, it actually makes sense now ;)
You need to connect the spheres to make sun warmer or colder. Black spheres are connectors. Connect a colored sphere to a black one, then another of the same color to affect sun temperature. Orange makes warmer, blue makes colder. Keep the sun not to hot, not too cold. You add force to spheres by clicking on them and dragging mouse down.
Thanks!
Thanks for the comments! For those of you who still find it difficult to control, which platform are you using (web/windows/osx/android)? and what difficulty are you experiencing? I am asking to know if the old bug is still out there in one of the builds, or if the controls are simply too complicated. All input is highly appreciated!
Thanks for the feedback guys! =)
Thanks :) I will work on it post-compo yes.
Thanks! Definitely will work on the mechanics yes. @PapyGaragos: I agree with you about the feedback as well, the temperature bar was literally implemented 5 min before deadline.. lol
@mortus LOL!!! =D I guess this balancing act is going to take a while... ;)
Really like the concept, great job!
Cool idea, response felt a little slow on android.
Cool game, but I had some difficulty coordinating all the controls.
great job! Really liked the game, though I died at the first enemy...
I couldn't seem to find any gold.. maybe my patience is too low :/
Loved it!
Great job! Simple and creative gameplay. Also lots of fun and very difficult. Snow dead :(
cool idea, could use some tuning of difficulty. But absolutely an unconventional weapon ;)
great game, i love the idea of smile as a weapon to defeat anger.
This is by far the ludlum dare game that kept me playing for the longest so far. awesome game. Would be really awesome with a sense of progression, like the missing boss fight you were talking about. The trembling camera makes me expect something big and scary! good job =D
love the giraffe =) I'm a little confused about the gameplay, but probably because it is not finished. cute game though.
great lessons =)
Thanks for the heads up and the kind comments =) The link should work now.
Thanks to all of you for the comments =) I know about the game over crash, but still trying to figure out what causes it. And for sure there are more than a couple of issues with colliders and speed settings and such (had about 5 minutes left for testing lol). I believe (but not sure) the standalone is more stable than the web version. Will see if I can smooth things out in a later version while keeping this one on the site for accountability.
Horsed: Thanks! And yes, had some last minute export issues from Maya so only managed to get the run animation in the game on time, so thats why the idle looks weird. Might add the others (idle, jump, climb, throw, pick-up) in a post-jam version once i manage to sort out the export issues.
Luke Molnar: Thanks for telling me, I don't know what happened to it, but will try to fix it.
hmm.. web version works when I try it, but takes a bit of time to load.. which browser are you using?
Thanks again everybody =)
ndebruyn: You are absolutely right, the other animations never made it from Maya due to some exportation issues I didn't have time to figure out.
great idea, nice graphics and audio. as has been said before the reload time is too long. a bit depressive that my new friends get killed right away ;)
cool idea, but very difficult!
looks like the game doesn't want to load for me (safari on OS X yosemite)
Awesome! Very entertaining narrative. great graphics and sound. also the tutorial forcing you to notice it by clicking the buttons is brilliant.
Very innovative, fun and challenging game play!
Love the art and how you use the drawing vs photo to separate the to "planes of existance". awesome!
cute game!
really cool idea! Like mentioned before waves of enemies and coins would be great if you develop the game further.
