I agree that there could have been more game play and the one level could have been more of a challenge but hey. This is what we do. We spend 48 hours to try to put something together and sometimes you hit roadblocks and just getting a product out is an achievement in itself. I see lots of potential in this. I love the look of you graphics.
I thought the load time was crazy long for what it was but I don't know what kind of limits Coco2d? put on you. I think the twist on pong is neat. I would like to see it developed more.
Great physics. A smaller two player map would be amazing.
Very zen. I like the limited modifications to your blob.
I loved the back story.
I was also thinking it is like portal. Very cool.
This was very zen for me. It was great. Keep up the good work. I don't know what you could change.
What a product. I spent a lot of time playing it. I can't think of much you to change except that I don't like the flick mouse maneuver. I would prefer a slingshot interface.
Loved it. It sucked me in until I beat it.
Clean game. Needs some playability tweaks to make it more of a challenge. I look forward to seeing more.
A very nice start. All my comments would be on the things you are already working on fixing.
You named yours the same as mind. I feel bad because yours is way cooler. Everything is good in this game. The sound, graphics, and game play. You rock!
Is it normal to have so much black squirting on the screen that I can't see the level anymore? Great job. I wish the guy was a little bigger and I wish I was better at video games.
I think you have a collision glitch that let me go through the floor.
Good job. I wish it had smaller levels with puzzles that required moving the redirectors.
Good job getting your game done in 15 hours. This was fun.
That was really fun. My main problem is that my eyes can't see the debris very well against the starts.
Straight forward and fun. Great work.
The progression was a little fast but the idea and execution was spot on. Like I said I would like more time to get use to my bob minions. Super cool!
I really enjoyed this. Good work.
Very challenging. Love those little guys.
Very fun game. It just had a great feel.
I wanted to pull out python and run through all the possible plays to figure out the real maxes. I love this game. It took me a while to figure out that water can expand too. Click and drag would be more intuitive for me and would lend itself to mobile platforms. Great work.
@SecondDimension: XD
This is really funny. Good job.
I love the slide transition. That gives me an idea. It would be cool to do a transition like Prezi.
I got stuck against the top of level two for a bit. The worm level got boring. Other than that, I love the game. It was random and kept you on your toes.
This is awesome. I actually was able to kill my self with some swinging offscreen glitch. The brains are creepy but I like the concept otherwise.
Very nice. Lovely design.
Very crisp and clean. Great job on the graphics and the audio. I can see how this would be a very compelling game if you had time to complete your vision.
I enjoyed it even though it has some obvious problems. The click driven movement took me a while to figure out.
The 2D 3D mix is super cool. I wish I would have thought of that.
Right click doesn't work on macs.
I enjoyed it. I would like to see more variation however.
The control scheme had a nice retro feel to it. Very nice job.
Amazing!!!!
I couldn't commit suicide at the end. BTW, you have to figure out if you out if you are in a vertical or horizontal collision and then only kill off that component of your velocity. At least that is how most users will expect a collision to go.
I loved the look and feel. The hints are great. You could easily add procedural levels and let this go on for a long time.
I think that picture likes me. :-) Good music and fun one button game. Good punchline at the end.
If you had the capability to do this you will be able to do amazing stuff in the future. This game obviously is not the most engaging but it uses concepts you need that can be used for truly engaging games.
OMG! That is a great idea. I was only able to get to 20% before there was no possible way to continue. I think you could do some tweaking to get a little longer game play with a the difficulty slowly ramping up.
Very nice. However, I was expecting the evolve button to morph my loop instead of switch me over to other rhythms. This would be over the top if you could get a save function.
Easy to learn and fun to play. You really can't ask for more than that.
Very nice work. I can't think of what it is missing but I have a gut feeling that with a little extra it could be an addicting replayable game.
I was blown away by the amount of varied work that you did. Hats off.
Nice and creepy! Good job. I would like some more complex play.
Good job. I wish I knew more about pokemon.
If you had Nazi zombies this would be better. I had fun playing. I wish there was some more skill than picking the right mate.
This is a good start. The firing seemed slower than it should be.
This is phenomenal. The scale of the world almost makes me dizzy. This reminds me of the old game Descent. I actually downloaded that game the other day because there hasn't been anything like it in awhile.
Very slick graphics. I love the 2d/3d mix.
Great puzzle. You my friend are a pixel whisperer.
Ideas looks awesome. On windows7 it freezes when I click continue after level 1.
Very slick and great gameplay. Best of luck with the Kongregate compo.
Nice idea. The execution was good considering. I would look forward to seeing a more polished version of this.
@Frozen Fractal: I was really throwing the levels together in the last minutes. There needs to be some play-ability tweaks. The robot is predictable but there are some nonlethal silent glitches that make the users life harder. I want to redo the game from the ground up because I was learning flash for the first time while I was making this game.
@juaxix: I was having trouble adding tiles that didn't start on top of each other so I had to generate a point and then check to see that it wasn't close to any existing point and repeat this process until I get all 4 points. (I am really embarrassed by the hackiness of the backend and the total lack of comments. My game is full of glitches. I was only really getting comfortable with the language halfway through the second day. It is killing me to not make any bug fixes. I know I can do a postcomp version but to do it right I would need to start from the ground up and I am all out of juice.)
@juaxix: Ohh, I see what you are saying
~~~~~~~~~`
point = new Point(int(Math.random() * 10) * 64, int(Math.random() * 8) * 64);
~~~~~~
The line above does absolutely nothing and in fact makes the computer gods angry. I should replace that line with a break statement and life would be better. I apologize to you oh mighty computer gods. Please forgive me.
The 3D fog of war and the perspective blurring was really nice. This concept could be leverage to make some really cool games. Great job.
The graphics are amazing. There is an obvious lag problem. You may want to remove the bubbles and sludge just so it is a playable demo.
ROFLMAO. I am going this game instead of paper-rock-scissors from now on.
I feel like it eats me from too far away. I love the game. I spent a lot of time trying to become even bigger. I didn't understand the controls at first since the little guy is so little. :-) Nice relaxing music.
The graphics are amazing. The words got to be too much but I still had a lot of fun playing.
This is a great puzzle game. I can imagine many amazing levels that could be made with this concept.
Nothing loads up for me.
I liked the idea. Looks like you made great progress. You have just a few play-ability issues that could be hammered out.
OMG! The different levels of sanity are awesome. I like how you have to be insane to do part of the challenge.
I have never seen anything like this. Great job.
Great proof of concept. After I discovered I was in no danger it wasn't as much fun but I stuck with it until the final round.
I love physics puzzles so I loved this. Great job.
Loved it. I like how an evolved state gets rid of sexual reproduction. I think there is a glitch. I picked them to run away from predators but they started swarming the predator in mass.
This was a fun break from the typical submissions. I enjoyed it.
I like the idea. If you could do sliders and realtime changes I think that could put it over the top and help users play it and play it longer.
Sweet. I am now going to go out and mate. :-) Easy game but fun.

Here is a link for others. Good job. This is amazing if you really see what is going on.
Very slick product. Good job. Nice music, graphics, and gameplay.
Very slick and fun to play once I discovered autofire. :-)
I also thought I had to protect my circle at first.
Great job.
Cake&Code hit the nail on the head. The game sucked me in even though it was slow. The concept is solid. You just need more speed and another objective.
Great music.
So much fun!
I love the style. (Everything works in Chrome/Win7.)
Very nice. I was blown away once I saw the ball roll sideways. I was not expecting that. I wish I was better at the game.
I loved it. I wanted more levels and I wanted an easier way to narrow in on the trait I wanted to mutate. Thanks for a good time.
Even though this isn't really a game yet it required an amazing amount of work and game play could be added on top of this to create something really neat. Great job.
This is a great start. Great job with the concept.
Good start. The piano notes in the back are nice. This is a functional game and that says a lot. Good luck in the future.
That was very cool and surprising. The only thing I would suggest is to make the restart back the beginning of the level instead of the intro.
Very cool to play and look at. Good job.
I adore this game. It was simple to play but I just wanted to keep playing.
A little hard to understand at first. I think the name hurts you. This could be great if you made the action faster and the UI more intuitive.
Clean game. I like the opening menu most of all things. The transparent buttons are really nice. The game play didn't keep me playing but I had fun nonetheless.
I loved this game. I just spent 30 minutes playing. It was hard to target with the cloud when you got too many Poggles.
This was an awesome start. Keep it up.
I couldn't put it down. Great job.
I like that your tried something different. What is this competition if it isn't time to experiment? Good job and best of luck in the future.
I thought the game was amazing and then I discovered that you could share you evolved invaders with others. That puts it over the edge. Great Amazing Fantastical Work!!!!
I love how you teach the user how to do things as you go. Nice graphics and sounds.
I had fun with this for a long time. I did get frustrated after I setup a beautiful design and I hit enter instead of space. I am not sure what you can do to solve that but even after doing it a few time I still found myself not learning.
Go pygame go. Very beautiful.
I love one button games. This was no exception. Great mechanics. The replays pushed it over the top.
Super polished. I like Free Flow and this is a cool 3D version of it. Great job
I think you have the beginnings of something here. I certainly enjoyed it.
I made the Mona Lisa!
Amazing! I loved it. I think I would have gone with physics instead of an exact circle but I think you made a better decision for the theme of the game. Great work. (Music was perfect.)
Easy to learn. Fun to play. Kudos.
To big for my laptop screen.
Very cool. I could see playing this as a great 2 player game.
(Great mood music.)
Fun, Simple, Cool! Great job.
So...much...fun! Great concept and follow through.
@lulzfish_4: The arrows don't change direction of motion. They change the direction of the applied torque. You have to plan ahead and cope with the momentum. You are right. I could have made much better music. I was going for strange and offbeat. I guess I succeeded.
I changed "Web" to "Web (Flash)". Good suggestion.
Brilliant way to teach someone to 10-key.
I love the discover image type puzzles. Great job. (I got the link to mine fixed if you want to check it out again.)
First, going back to the beginning is a bit much and the hit boxes are a bit too big. That said ... oh my god. The music and the graphics are amazing. Super job. I loved it.
Amazing graphics. I lost control after a little bit. Balls going crazy. Ahhh! (I fixed the link to my game if you want to check it out again.)
Great soothing game. Loved the music. (I got the link up on mine if you want to check it out again.)
Gorgeous work. The 2D puzzle was great by itself. To add the 3D on top was super awesome.
The guy is adorable. I wonder how you could add levels and make it more skill oriented. Great job.
Genius. I never thought of making that idea into a game. Physics nerds unite. Great game play.
Great stylized game. It looked like a CRT. Great.
Great puzzler. I love the tutorial levels. So few spend the time to make the game easy to approach.
The look and feel are amazing. I wish I didn't have to go all the way to the beginning every time I was dumb.
I enjoyed it. I didn't read the part about the spacebar at first so I was thinking that this was impossible.
Loved the mode and style.
I got rid of all the stuff but he never stops buying more crap. OCD is not letting me stop. Argg! Great job!
I loved it. I was Dan at the end. I wanted to go back and play but the phone wouldn't ring. THE PHONE WOULDN'T RING! :-) Great job.
Genius. A pretty, deceptively hard, puzzle game.
I loved it. In a way it was like my game. It would have been nice to be congratulated on my awesomeness when I won.
The is a webGL game that is very similar. I like the multiplayer aspect. Great game.
I loved the release mechanic. Great job. Dynamic music! (6 stars) Fantastic.
Face palm moment. (Why didn't I think of this?) Great game. Great idea. Great execution. Hat's off. Best game so far and I have rated 50ish.
I need some 3D glasses for this one. Very cool. I wish there was a way to get back life points.
Good game. I found it very challenging.
Great game albeit a little morbid. Great assets.
I love puzzle action games and this is no exception. Great work. (BTW, awesome music.)
Oh my god! (That was so much fun. I had a whole class of teenage kids helping me.) The body must be a zombie. The have notoriously weak joints.
Nice story. I wish the rewind worked for me.
This was very fun for me to play. There is a lot of subtle strategies that you can use to survive longer.
Yay! Potatoes. Love the style. The collision detection needs to be finished a little. It would be fun to see more.
I was like "that is a cute game" and then I was like "whoah another mechanic but that isn't much" and then I was like "whoah another mechanic but that still is not too much" and then I was like "more mechanics" and then I was like "this is a serious game."
Super job. I kept playing until I got to the end. I didn't want to treat her like a nail but all I had was a hammer.
Very nice. I found it very soothing. Very good mechanics.
Great. Very simple yet awesome.
How awesome is this!? I loved destroying the minimalism.
+1 For a one button game. It doesn't get more minimal than that. Beautiful graphics.
I was completely mesmerized by this game. The music synced to game play pushed it over the top.
Great work. I wish there was more.
Loved the rope and limited vision.
I am horrible at this game but I should hold my lack of coordination against you. Great job. Loved the visual style.
Very cool experience. It kept my attention. Music was super good.
