I liked the second ending, it made me feel weirdly uncomfortable to be directing Alrion against his will.

Great concept. Kind of awkward to play though, dragging the window around.
Nice variety of traps and hazards. Seems like a lot got done in a small time. I got stuck on the second cannon, I couldn't get past it, perhaps the timing is different on my PC but there was not enough gap between the rocks to run through.
Nice design. I think it could do with some more levels, but it's pretty fun as it is.
Fun game. Nice design, very clean. Impressive for a few days. All the social stuff and achievements seem a bit unnecessary and including ads I feel was a bit much for ludum dare.
Quite hard, but good fun. I like the movement of the helicopter. The sound effects are ace too!
Very cool idea. Reminds me a bit of rymdkapsel. The lofi graphics work, and the music is really cool. I found it quite easy, not sure if I was missing something. Good fun though.
Nice design. Quite simple, but good use of the theme.
Very cool. A lot of depth, and the expansion ramp feels quite smooth.
A lot of fun. The graphics a very stylish, although a bit hard to make out what's going on sometimes. Difficulty was almost perfect and there was enough variation to keep me interested.
Thanks for the comments guys. For those who want a hint - babies take after their fathers. (Also there isn't anything special at the top, except more room to plant trees, sorry I ran out of time :)
@danidre14 - Yeah, someone found that 'loophole' on the Monday and told me :) I was going to have hyenas which would chase you and cause you to lose lives, but they didn't make the cut. Also, if you have 3 strength you can pick up the trees and build fences to keep the giraffes out :)
Glad you liked the game!
I originally put a menopause in at 45, but there was a bug and the code doesn't stop you having a baby anymore. You (and the old women) are supposed to die at age 100 too, but the same thing went wrong.
@Grindstorm - The trees don't regrow, you have to plant new ones. Apples don't dissapear, but they can be eaten by giraffes and also old women.
Quite good fun! Harder than I expected, and nice graphics.
Really fun game. Took me a second to realise I had to poop to make a platform. Once I got it it was really fun. Shame about the popups every time you restart, but I guess you ran short of time. Very funny, nice art too.
Too hard for me.
Quite simple, but fun. Could do with more enemy types. I like the music :) And good dance party at the end.
Cool idea, took me a while to understand what I was doing.
Sort of confusing, but really interesting too I thought. I like the really small field of view and the feeling of being lost. I was quite confused by what happened when I flipped a switch, I started to understand that the maze was being altered, but things were still in the same place.
I think it would be really interesting to see where you could take this concept. I think beginning with smaller levels and having more variety of things to encounter, enemies and treasure, would be really cool.
Overall I really liked it, mainly mood and innovation. The music was alright but the loop was way too short and the graphics were a bit meh if I'm honest. Great game though!
Nice idea but it seems a bit unfinished.
Very original. Made me chuckle.
Good fun, quite a nice little concept.
I thought the cat seemed unrealistic.
Really cool art style. Enjoyable game, perhaps a bit too hard. Would be cool to see what other weapons and enemies there are.
Too difficult for me.
The presentation and graphics are really nice. The animated title screen really drew me in. It' waaaay to hard though. I couldn't get past the 4th platform (with the ghost). I would love to play the game without the grinding gears at the bottom, but it's just too difficult as it is.
Really nice art, and good use of the theme. I found it hard to progress and wasn't really clear if I had finished or not at the end. I would have liked more of a puzzle, or more interactivity.
Feels like there's a lot in this game! I like the 3d art, and the comic at the beginning was very funny. Once it started I was a bit confused about what was going on, there were too many instructions in the introduction. I think it could have been better if you'd focused on a smaller set of items and goals. Great effort though!
@pianoman373 Sorry we ran out of time, check back tomorrow and we should have mac and linux.
Great style, brilliant use of the theme too. I found it a little buggy though and couldn't turn the alarm off the second day. (At least I think it was a bug)
Very unique mechanic, really interesting take on the theme. I got to the 3rd tv screen, I think, it starts to get quite confusing. Good work anyway.
