I've got the idea, but it's really hard to figure out how colors and shapes change and what door you should choose. For now it's just random for me.

It's all about storytelling! Great job!
Love the humor in this game :)
Best "twins" platformer in this compo!
Interesting sandbox.
Whoa! Really love this old-school hand drawn style game! Nice!
Moooood! Mood is awesome!
It's nice, but it related to the theme?
Hmm... Interesting approach
Nice, but what about theme?
The art-style is really good! Good job!
Nice artwork! I also like stealth gameplay.
Wow! I love the "disconnected" mechanics! Nice twist on pretty generic gameplay. Good job!
Everything good except innovation and theme. But it still really fun to play! Good job!
Nice looking platformer! Love the way music changes when you enter an another "world".
Visuals and shaders are great, but its so hard. I can't pass even 2nd island.
I really love indirect control of units! It would be great to have more control elements besides "jump" an "ladder".
The art-style is really cool, but the game itself is so fast-paced and hard!
I have no idea what to do with it...
Great game! Particles just beautiful! It's really fun to play with 2 players! Good job!
Really nice!
Great game! Do want more levels/chapters! Keep going! 5/5
Graphics really nice! But the goal is not so clear.
Nice! At some point avoid asteroids become a real challenge! Good job!
Love the graphics and audio but there are several games with similar gameplay...
Neat puzzle game! I love the pulse!
Great mood! Very immersive! But the gameplay except exploration not clear enough. Anyway it was really enjoyable swimming among giant fishes. Good job!
Art-style and sounds are great! At the beginning controls are not clear enough and sometimes unpredictable, but after a couple levels you get used to it. Happy trails! :)
Controls and collision detection are so frustrating :(
Atmosphere & mood are really great! Good job!
Nice entry! Good job!
Haha, I like this style)) Nice entry!
Thats cool! Nice fast-paced platformer! Sounds are great!
The art is mindblowing! Looks really awesome!
Very cool idea! It was really fun to play! Good job!
Surprisingly good! especially bosses. Good job!
Visuals and mood just beautiful.
Z & X keys not responding on Mac...
I like the character progression! There a lot of similar games, but anyway this one is really good.
Visuals and sound reely cool. But the goal of the game?
Nice clicker :)
Brilliant! One of the best implementation of theme. This is much more original and interesting than dozens of "connect-planet-to-trade" or "control-twins" games around here (sorry, guys). 5/5. I'm really happy that I played this game. Thank you!
Not bad, but it seems teleports a bit glitchy sometimes.
Love the mood, visuals and audio. but the game is too short :( Also I think that its an interesting feature that girl and kitty move with a different speed.
Almost unpredictable, but still fun! Could be pretty nice mobile game :)
I love the visual style!
Planet Hero: Galaxy Tour! :D
Initial idea is really original! Good job!
AWESOME! 5/5 Tons of fun!
The only one thing that I have in my mynd, probably you may add some cooldown for firebals. Right now it becomes easy if you can click really fast))
That was one of the most meaningful conversations in video games! totally different. I love it. Thanks for this experience. 5/5
Core idea and physics are really good! Nice job!
Really nice entry! Love voice acting!
Mind blowing game! Serious challenge for your brain! Great job!
Love the art style! Unfortunately controls not always respond correctly (on mac). Anyway, good job!
Playing alone is really tricky))
Nice strategy. At the beginning not so clear how to pick direction for research and how to build connection. But audio and mood are really cool.
Web version FPS is too low (chrome) :(
Great game! The only thing that confusing is that you don't know what block will be next.
Great game! I love the core idea. But jumping sequence is so difficult.
Beautiful sandbox! Love the music and mood!
Haha, it's really funny. But I believe it would be better if player wouldn't die touching floor and ceiling.
Great visuals and sounds, but web version is so slow((
Neat puzzle game! The first level is the most difficult :)
Wow! I thought it will be Monument Valley, but this one appeared really different! Good job!
5 stars for humor :)
This... is... awesome...
Fireworks! Nice entry :D
It's not nice to see an ad before a game.
Simple but fun)) With nice art
5/5 Brilliant idea and implementation!
haha, that was really fun))
I'm not a big fan of text adventures but this one is nice.
Graphics & characters are really cool! Nice job!
I think this game inspired by Ikaruga ;)
Love the art direction and mood, but... it's no a game, actually.
Awesome game! One of my fav so far.
Excellent level design! Great puzzle game!
It looks really nice, but I can't pass the guy with gun... no matter if I save girl or not
I like the deathmatch mode but I think there is not enough feedback about hit/miss, health and reloading. Nice entry anyway!
Finally, tower defense!
Nice platformer! Music really helps to immerse into atmosphere of the game.
My bad. Link fixed!
ploogle, yeah it appeared much more hardcore than I expected :)
Jupitron, follow the hotspot
Hey guys!
Since this game appeared to a bit hardcore I added walkthrough video for those who can't complete the game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsDNMcukSpg
Also added web version for your convenience - http://nuclearnapalm.com/2014/08/the-beginning-ld30/
Nanofus, thanks! Sure, it still requires a lot of polishing (visuals, physics), 2 days are not enough. But it playable at least :D
RegularSlinky, thanks for the kind words! Yeah, it seems that level 3 appears to be the most confusing, so I would recommend to check walkthrough video to save some time on it.
Hippolyta, thanks!
MyougaHiroshi, haha, great!
kdunee, yeah, this level the most confusing, so I managed to add tutorial and reduce number of checkpoints in simplified version.
Aglavra, nice :)
mrexcessive, yeah, I belive that this commets really contribute to the story and the mood of the game.
Thank you all! I really appreciate it!
AlucardX60, Wow! I really surprised that someone managed to beat hardcore version! Bravo!
@hezagore, haha, why so serious?(c)
Actually, my wife was a "difficulty check" for this version, so it's really version "for girls"))) Anyway, don't get it serious)
Love the UI and sounds :) Survived for 4 min.
Very nice minimalistic game! I've got the message :)
Nice one! Love the beat!
Em... what I've just playerd? 0_o...
Great visuals and sound. But easy and doesn't fit theme. Anyway looks awesome!
I became a cat! Yay!
Well crafted but difficult.
I like the mood. Gameplay is pretty clear to understand, but at the beginning you have to wait too long to build second ship.
Simple but entertaining! I love your sense of humor :) That ending... mmm...
Nice simple game.
Neat puzzle game! controls a bit confusing at the beginning (because of isometric view) but I get used to it.
Good level design! Nice entry!
Beautiful game! Planets and characters look awesome! Music is very relaxing!
Very interesting concept. A bit frustrating, but still really fun.
The beginning of the game is really promising and intriguing. I like it because it similar to my concept. But both endings a bit disappointing. Anyway, great job!
Really fun game with good level design! Great job!
Really funny game! I love the power-ups! Good job!
Great game! I really like the way how you implemented inderect control of AI units. Good job!
Weird but interesting :)
The best thing about this game is music :) Btw, it's simple, but really fun to play.
Wow! Great puzzle!
Really brain-twisting puzzle! Nice job!
Beautiful!
I love the core mechanics! But its really hard to control ship and the border the same time.
Pretty fun. Good job!
Great visuals! Btw, is there way to fail? It seems there is endless respawn.
Love smooth car movement, but what the goal of the game and how to fail?
Best intro ever! Haha, great job!
Visuals are nice, but there are a lot of games with similar mechanics...
Nice music, but gameplay a bit random
I feel a bit uncomfortable with inverted-Y camera movement. But overall it's not bad.
Great mood and atmosphere!
Pro tip: RMB + Spacebar for awesome frontflip!
Interesting idea. But playing keeping 20 buttonsin mind is a bit tricky. Btw, art style and humor are really cool :)
I love this game! The only thing that you can beat it without changing the "weather" with just rapid button mashing.
One word - BRILLIANT!
Love the art-style! Shooting gameplay pretty enjoyable also. Good job!
Awesome game! Gameplay very smooth and enjoyable. Nicely done!
This... is... amazing! It is so beautiful! I love the old school adventures game style. But I think it could contribute more to "Connected worlds" topic. Anyway, this is a great game. Bravo!
Really fun game. And I felt the mood. Like I'm in a prison and I can't understand what's going on. Thanks!
Art - awesome!
Music - Great!
Gameplay - Cool!
A lot of platformers around here have pretty rough and buggy physics, but this... so smooth and responsive. Great job!
As for me, I think that the magnifying glass is a little bit annoying. I lose the overview because of it.
I really love this mix of TD and RTS! Art style is pretty nice. Gameplay smooth and enjoyable. Great work!
Great gra[hics, music and atmosphere, but I didn't figure out the goal. Is it just a game to enjoy movements?
Art and mood just fantastic! Gameplay is simple, but anyway this is really good entry.
Funny! Thanks!
Point & click 4P brawler??? I'm in!!!
Great idea, great implementation! Congratz!
Amazing atmosphere and graphics!
A little bit easy.
Hey, it's much harder than it seems)) Nice job!
Very interesting concept!
I didn't safe the world, but it was fun. :)
Really cool game! Nice puzzle, story and the whole atmosphere!
Wow! This is my first LD31 entry to play and this is awesome! I really miss point & click era... I love the mood of the game. But it's a bit short (I understand that it was only 48 hours) but it to tool to be so short :)
Anyway great job!
I really love this graphics!
Interesting graphics idea!
Wow! Real quest! And nice graphics.
Nice art style! I didn't get how to manage furniture, only cooking. But still it looks nice :) Good job!
Most innovative game I played so far! Masterpiece! Ending is awesome =))
I love genetics! Awesome graphics and mood.
Tons of quests)))
Lovely story. And interesting idea to use Euler diagram to open new locations.
Really cool rpg! I love the way how combined it with slot-machine! Pretty innovative approach! Nicely done!
Good idea of perspective and pretty fun.
Minimalistic and well done!
Simple yet challenging! I like how you work with silhouetes and coloe schemes. Good job!
I really love the game concept!
Haha! Sound design is the best part of this game! Really fun!
Music is amazing!
Absolutely masterpiece with mindblowing ending! Great Job!
I still have no idea how to win here, but looks fun :)
I need to improve my blind typing skills))) Very interesting mechaincs! Good job!
Knight is useless)) Whitch FTW! Solid entry!
Great mechanics! But I think since its level based it doesent fit theme so much. But, anyway, its pretty interesting and enjoyable to play! Great job!
Great idea and clever level design! Timing sometimes makes me mad))) But overall expression is pretty good!
Thanks for publishing!
Very minimalistic in terms of graphics and gameplay, but still fun. :)
It's not so easy, but at least every one get something after finish. :)
This is definitely piece of art. But the ending a bit disappointing. After he became free I was expecting to see a _new_ or _another_ dragon, or maybe not dragon at all.
But still, great entry!
Nice little game))
Nice graphics and mood.
Haha! I love simple mechanick of eat-shit-f**k, but I have no idea how to jump to 3rd platform... Not enought jump power. I can only navegate at the bottom.
Really challenging! I love the machanics and cotrols. Looks pretty polished. Great Job!
Daaaaamn, that was creepy, but so awesome! Mood is fantastic! Great job!
At the beginning I thought it pretty simple and casual. Then I saw powerups and stuff))
That was...unexpected! Really cool twist! Good job!
It's all about voice acting))
Thanks for the game. Minimalistic, but fun.
6 Waves so far. A bit slow paced, but I love the balance between defensive and offensive behaviour. Execution is great. Perfect fit for this theme.
P.S. If you like spaceship sims, check my entry ;)
Great platformer! I didn't read the controls description, so I destroyed all eyewatchers without single shot lol))
Nice entry! But I think it would be better if ship'd have more maneuverability. Bullets seem useless also.
I love the art style but the game is pretty short((
I have a vertigo)) Great job mate! It reminds me "tie skipping" minigame in Little Big Planet. I like the "destruction" process of snowman :)
Keep falling from the screen...
BTW, I like how you looked at theme :) But why saab?))
Pretty nice visuals for this simple dame! I like it! Good job!
Looks great but too short. Great mood btw.
Great entry! I really love the idea. Reminds me papers please :)
Sooo funny! Thanks!
Haha! Really fun idea and good implementation! Nice job!
@Winterblood yeah, I didn't have enough time working on balance and difficulty curve. Right now there a lot of random.
@tyty5949 unfortunately, I didn't implement proper tutorial, so game a bit hard at the beginning and you really need to read info about objects and stuff.
@DevWouter I have no idea now to fix it. I test it on Win & Mac with adblock enabled and disabled and didnt encounter this issue. Try to use different browser or adblock plugin.
@daviosmash yeah, I forgot to mention snowman ;)
@stephenhaney there are several endings. Also, there 6 beeps which playing randomly :)
@MeSun Thanks!
@tonypai yes, it is possible, but depends on luck.
@2Bit yes, chance is random but it increases each time you travel to next sector.
More questions required!
Enjoyed the game! Thanks!
Yep, tutorial would be awesome. Anyway I love tower defenses and cats.
Best thumbnail ever!)))
TD games are rare on Ludum Dare. I'm glad that I've found this one. I like the idea of single level with different routes. Good job!
Amazing! Logic game. Good idea and easy to play.
Really cool entry! Good job!
I really love this twist on gravity mechanics! Great job!
Nice entry! I love the process of track creation.
Very smooth and relaxing :) You can port it to mobiles. Looks like perfect fit for one finger controls :)
Basically it's another clicker, but I really love articstic interpretation of the process. Good job!
Very interesting idea! Time pressing provides player with a good challenge! Good job!
Not bad for first game! Keep going and good luck!
Easy to start, hard to master. As the game should be.
Pretty nice racing game! I love the ending when you jump off a cliff))
TotalCommander!?! I like the old school art style, but gameplay way too simple.
Whoaaaa! That was unexpected! Most original entry so far! Awesome job!
What a funny game! Music creates right mood))
Wow, interesting twist on jedi theme! Simple but interesting mechanics! Great job!
Great mood! The War of Mine + Limbo :) Nice concept!
I really like this power-ups twist on simple pong mechanics. Great job!
Very clever implementation of theme! Audio and mood simply awesome!
Wow, photorealistic graphics!)))
Sometimes I can't click a guest, I don't know why. Seems like raycast or collision detection issue.
Weird DotA...)) Weird, but original))
Great entry! Time pressing creates good challenge :)
Cool entry! Ship building reminds me Colossatron. Art-style is great, but I was expecting a bit more gameplay.
Interesting idea, but I think physics can be improved. Good job anyway!
I really love the game idea!
Very interesting mechanics! Need some time to get used to it. Especially flying through cubes. But then it becomes a good challenge! Nice job!
Looks promising! But I cant defeat flying white guy in a cave...
Great art style! Very stylish! Music created great mood!
Simple yet challenging mechanics! I think it can be perfect fit for mobile devices :)
BTW, I encountered a couple issues:
1. at some point bottom white border just disappeared and ball sometimes got stucked there.
2. What after ball police? Nothing happens... Except text about clicking to death.
Soundrack creates great mood for this game)) Collidion detection appeared buggy, but still its fun))
Everybody love cats! Controls a little bit confusing. I mean you go not 1 tile, but a part of tile.
Minimalistic puzzle game as it should be. Thanks!
I think you should give more time at the begining and continuously reducing it to increase difficulty.
I found it pretty hard to play "left hand vs right hand" mode)) Single player would be great option.
Art style is awesome! These children...so ugly...I want to shoot them so much!))) Great job!
Reminded me Black & White. Nice job!
Nice game! Enjoyed it!
Aaaah, too complicated)) Multitasking madness)) But I love the beat))
