stomping tiny humans is always fun - I didn't realized the world is shrinking at first, nice idea
this was quite enjoyable and the music suited the game well
it's not very challenging though - but that's not actually affecting it
great concept and art
loved it
wow - best audio I've seen so far. the graphics are well rounded and everything just 'works'
easily one of my favorites
same here, wasn't able to run it
@ Win7 64bit, Core2Duo, nvidia 9600m gt
the material selection was broken for me - I wasn't able to switch from the very last material to anything else, and couldn't place blocks anymore
nice idea - now I want rockets in minecraft
you linked you personal dropbox link which is only usable when logged in with your account
you have to put it in the public folder and get the public url by right-clicking it
your graphic style is very cute - love it
sadly I've only managed to beat the first 3 levels. the controls are a bit annoying
I love the music!
I couldn't find a way to reset the level and had to restart the games a few times because I screwed up
I think the game has some memory leaks - it became really slow for me after a while
some interesting features though - I enjoyed it.
however, the player moves much to slow for my taste so I felt quite sluggish for me
such a great game
the storytelling was awesome and it's incredible how much different gameplay you managed to squeeze into this.
one of my favorites
thanks guys - I'd never thought my entry would be received so well.
I'm really regretting to not have worked on it more (damn you real life obligations!) ... I could have implemented much more content and audio.
I'm promising you guys to work the whole 48h in the next LD and not let you down like this again :D
@chambers:
yeah - the platformer controls aren't perfect. but as you can see the whole game is far from perfect. there isn't much gameplay in it to begin with. originally I planned more "game" stuff in the main level (it should also be much much bigger) but the time ran out - I only worked about 12h on this after all
@blackdogg:
I'm european myself (german) so I don't understand what's wrong. maybe the flash element isn't in focus - you have to click on it one time so that keyboard input will be registered.
@bastiandantilus:
it's not a traditional game, although I initially planned to include more gameplay stuff. my main goal was to make something different from the other entries - and I think I succeeded, afaik no one else interpreted the theme in this kind of way.
@4urentertainment:
I wasn't aware it got posted on indiegames.com until now. I'm very surprised since this is only a small 12h piece of work.
about your interpretation: very interesting, there is no right or wrong interpretation though - however yours is quite similar to what I had in mind ;)
the camera is really annoying.
also, the title screen and tutorial page looked very polished - I was a bit dissapointed that the game itself looks not that great in comparision
however - fun game, gnome over made me laugh :)
lovely concept
I liked it a lot :)
I couldn't beat it
but the concept is great! this has potential if you decide to continue working post-mortem on it
cool concept!
graphics are really nice too
I have to agree - the controls are annoying
(the lightning is brilliant, looking at your source code now)
"A metaphor for life. As we grow older, the world becomes smaller, eventually tiny, and women are everywhere."
I'm definitely going to quote this sometimes :D
because I screwed up my first time - all the babies died (in a disturbing manner) this was a bit unsettling
funny simple game
wonder what plutos brothers (for example eris) have to say about this though ;)
omg - you really wanted to win this competition, didn't you ?
such a brilliant concept
wow - graphics/audio aren't anything special but the mechanics of the game are simply amazing - this must be one of the best uses of the theme I've seen, possibly the best one
you're going to rock the innovation and theme categories with this
it took me some time to lay down an efficient layout - which was a bit frustrating since there's no feature to remove chips but quite rewarding after being able to use most if not all pins and have several RAM/Timer connected BIOS bricks and seeing all those blue guys come out
... sadly there isn't much game in it after this
but the concept is a nice idea and I'm sure you could improve on it to make it a really fun game - big potential!
where's the source?
very classic experience - sound and art design is very charming
cutscenes are great too
so many people confused tiny world with tiny person - I don't understand it , yours has a giant in it - so it's not as bad as in other games
concerning the game itself: brilliant opening and the music is just insanely good - graphics aren't to shabby either, liked the style
controls were also fine - overall a very good job
everybody should give this game a try
short mindless fun - brilliant :D
the one sound effect is terrible though but it didn't affect the fun too much
good idea!
the opening is very great - well done
good job
loved the graphics and audio - very nice mood
amazing how well the controls turned out
awesome - but I suck at it ^^
impressive entry
this is such a great idea - wow
please continue working on this !
love it - graphically it's very lovely, the gameboy color palette is just awesome.
it has some small bugs (frog spawning) but it's a nice idea and quite fun to play
I don't even want to know how often you had to click on autotracker to get this music ...
what a great idea
one of the best polished entries I've seen
very nice simple idea - yet challenging
good game - the audio and graphics are solid as well
graphics are very lovely
this reminds me of a counter-strike map that took place inside a computer
the controls are a bit frustrating - so is the level design since it's hard to tell which blocks are collidable and which aren't. also the collision is a bit buggy
however - nice job for a first (flash) game
I'm sure at some point in time at bullfrog or lionhead a game like this was talked about - it's just very "peter molyneux"
and that's a good thing !
concept, graphical presentation and music are simply great.
I didn't manage to survive for too long - the beasts are a bit to strong in my opinion - but this is merely a balancing issue.
great game
great job getting that thing to run
looking forward to your next ludum dare entry
very ambitious
I guess you spend more time on features than gameplay
still - I think it's more or less the only entry of this kind and that's always an achievement with 1400+ entries
concept is quite great, graphics are decent too. reminded me of the Civ. games
I'm looking forward playing your next ludum dare entry ;)
this was a lot of fun!
blowing stuff up is always a lot of fun - especially if you have to make sure to not kill little swarming people
the only thing I'd like to add would be some explosion shockwaves - the building pieces don't seem affected by the detonations
great game although I suck at this genre - the dashing ability is brilliant!
the only thing I could criticize is the fact that you used the z+c keys which aren't in this particular formation on many keyboard layouts. using x+c or (z or y)+x would be better
very entertaining shoot'em'up - loved the word transitions
the game looks incredible (games like this make me want to learn unity)
ridiculously funny game
enjoyed it a lot - very japanese game-style
I love this game, such a relaxing experience and flawless mechanics
it took me some time to get the idea of the game - but even afterwards I was a bit lost
in the end I just stomped all the little guys, which was quite some fun
very fun game, concept is brilliant
but the gravity is much to high for my taste
it's seems I'm too stupid for this game ... the only thing I managed to do is to run from one S to the next (which added to my score) and look at * flying around - without hearing one piece of music ... so I started the music via looking at the source code of your site to be able to hear it :(
cool game
I like the concept very much (which is probably the reason I also did an insane-person themed entry)
playing a fishswarm is real fun - especially jumping out of the water and stuff.
the art is lovely too
maybe you can do a post-compo version?
an idea might be to start with a small fish but getting bigger by eating other fish - so that you can kill even bigger fishes and become the "biggest" one.
you could also add fishhooks from "the sky" that you have to evade or something like that
I enjoyed the game
everything has been already said - this game is incredible
I'm blown away by the music and the concept - the graphics aren't to shabby either
this is a great little game - although it definitely could be improved (more features(weapons?) & better balance)
overall very well done
46/50 stars isn't too shabby I think.
this game is very well polished, all those little details (like bouncing leaves) are making the game so much better and I was surprised that the game was only half through after reaching the ant whole.
one of my favorite games this LD - very well done !
awesome use of the theme + great concept
survival games are always fun
so there wasn't much to screw up to begin with - but this is a solid little hacky survival game , well done
very great game - loved it!
the only thing I have to criticize is the control layout, Z and Y are swapped on german keyboard (and several others) so that it's always awkward to play games that us it.
I'd recommend using x+c instead of y+x
turning game of life into an actual game is a brilliant idea - it's also well polished (only lacks sound and a few bugfixes)
well done !
graphics/audio/controls/mechanics are very nice - loved it
it's a shame there isn't much to do in the game, but getting some of those fruits was really tricky
well done :)
maybe the best puzzle game this ludum dare
"But you only have one action - build Tiny Defender. Use it wisely!"
that's exactly what I was hoping for - sadly this isn't the case.
this has potential - it needs RTS elements like upgrades or different uni types (so far they only have different graphics afaik)
one simple way to greatly improve the game would be to include 3 kind of units that work like rock/paper/scissors, so you need to spawn the right defenders to beat the game
however - well done, I enjoyed killing all those red little thingies
very nice graphic style - although my eyes are hurting now
I love your use of optical illusions
I like it - the graphics are very minimalistic yet charming
I especially liked the black fade-fog , jumoing over those high platforms while the world turns black under one's feet is quite cool
the controls are a bit annoying - you should have put the character on ice skates (that would have dealt with that problem in a fun way)
other than that it's quite fun - I wished there would be some death animation for the "enemies" though
all in all a fun little thing - well done - yet some simple changes (like mouse support) could make it much better
well I managed to get her to sleep with me - I'm curious how to get to the ending shown in the screenshot though
nice game - there are clearly not enough games like this
graphics - lovely
music - charming
gameplay - classic
conclusion - loved it
such a classic game experience - I loved it
you invested a great deal of polishing the game up - it shows
well done :D
great game - a good metaphor for life and thought provoking
very nice style - I'd love a more complex game with it
this is a great concept - it's a shame you had to cancel those features you wanted to implement
I really enjoyed being an ant :D
it induced some "hey, don't hit my buddy!" feeling - being like a big brother for all the ants, which got even better since the player becomes bigger and stronger as the game progresses
simply a solid good game
I enjoyed it
such a great game
beautiful gameplay and graphics - definitely one of my most favorite games this LD
I couldn't save most of them :(
the controls are a bit annoying but the graphics and concept are quite great.
cool optics - never thought one could actually create war feeling in such a tiny frame that effectively
very charming game
incredible
the concept is just amazing - I really hope you continue working on this
I immediatly got hyped seeing an ascii roguelike. sadly you haven't put much game in it - but I'm really curious to see what you'll do with it (if you continue developing)
great basis for a game
you won't win an oscar for graphics/presentation but it's a very solid and enjoyable game, wouldn't expect less from you anyway
so far this is the only educational themed game I've encountered - so you're getting some additional love for creativity :)
a standalone download version would be nice
devwil wrote: "Sorry to everybody who had trouble with this game. I didn't realize it was such a mess outside of Chrome and Safari. Firefox completely mangles it."
the funny thing is ... the best solve for this would be coding in something not web limited and providing compiled versions for different os
oh irony
I've loved this ship/canon combats since monkey island 3 - your game is no exception.
the idea of playing inside a pool is funny and the graphics are simply stunning for a compo entry.
very well done!
just pressing SPACE repeatedly beats the game - a bit to simple for my opinion.
I expected a different kind of game by looking at the background
name/idea is nice though
nice - the alice sprite looks awesome and the concept fits the theme perfectly
wow, one of the best games I've played so far
I completely didn't understand it at first, but then I slowly got in ... awesome concept
great little game - reminded me of populous
heck, I even want to play populous now because of your game
well done :D
nice concept
you should hide the mouse pointer when using your own one - also some sort of upscaling wouldn't hurt since the game is quite small (especially on high-res monitors)
very impressive indeed
one of my favorites !
I like the style, concept and genre
well done
I just finished it and I think I'm the smartest rat that ever existed
well - the circuits are quite simple and not too much of a challenge but the game itself was nicely presented and I liked the theme very much.
the only thing I could criticize would be the sluggish platformer controls - but it didn't have any impact on the fun of the game - so it's alright
nice game, playing a rat is staggeringly amusing
funny little game - love the art
some running around little people to stomp on would make it even better :)
wonderful game - very nice graphic style too
thanks guys :)
I wanted to include other species, about a dozen, and different color variations and abilites - but there is only so much I can do in 48h
yeah, you have to look out for those, that's what the trees are for, try staying in between them
games are supposed to get harder - especially game I make ;)
I'm very amazed you guys like it that much!
I had to scratch so many features I planned to do that I feared the "remaining" stuff wouldn't be enough for a fun game.
It's a shame I hadn't 2-3 more hours to invest ... I could've implemented more polishing effects (screen shakes and shadows and sound effects and such things) as well as more content (like more abilities) and improve the AI more. I think the AI turned out more or less decent, but being a long time Robocode coder I could improve it (much much) further
sadly I don't think I'll make a post-compo version, since the game concept has quite limited potential
@Jeremias:
thx for your feedback - all your points are good ideas which I somehow didn't think of during development (my head was buzing from all that coding anyway)
actually the enemies progress on their own - if you evolve too slow they will start spawning on higher stages than you (making your life considerably harder) but I agree - I didn't think this through
@kato9:
because I initially didn't have the time to make a restart function and thought that the browser would simply reload the swf on F5 ... but I was wrong about that and had to change that but somehow kept the F5 key (well, it was late, I was tired ^^)
@barry abrams:
I can't really think of a backstory for this - but if you have some cool idea, please tell me :D
@BenW:
yeah - it is hard. but I've managed to beat it twice so it's doable although I have to say that some little tweaks (like a spawnfree radius around the player and a small delay before enemies could shoot fireballs) would improve balance a lot (funny, those are changes I could make in 5 minutes but somehow didn't saw during development)
I would have loved to see what you could have done with this in the jame (having 24h more time)
I'm impressed, despite lacking gameplay
there are not enough games like this one - loved it
very well done
mario style jumps (height of the jumps are determined by how long you push the jump key) would have improved the controls a lot
apart from that, a solid little game - very challanging without becoming frustrating
wow, that was tremendous fun!
very polished indeed - loved it
if you add one or two more gameplay mechanics (like for example sacrificing some fossils for a little fossil wall that blocks out the priest for a short time (of course this ability should have a cooldown)
but man, very well done
sadly it's not very balanced
however - well done, I love these kind of games
wow, easily the best game I've played so far
love everything about it, concept, design, polishing, gameplay ... beatiful!
this would have been a great gameboy game back in the days (with more levels of course)
I kind of expected such an ending - but it still got me by surprise
the ever changing hallways were great, very well done, they never disappeared in a way that I would clearly see them disappear (I'm guessing you checked for mouse pointer velocity, so they only change when the screen is moving - which coupled with the noisy effect blurs the changes really well, smart)
the only downside here is the theme, but there are enough other categories for you to score in ;)
let'S face it, every game where you play a supreme omni-potent being is fun - and so is your game :)
very relaxing, looking forward to upcoming versions
haha, liked it
throwing corpes to get more corpes to get more corpes - as a robot!
lovely
I'd really like to have this on my android. think about it, you might earn a few bucks ;)
I also like the introduction - lathough the font was a bit hard to read in my opinion
very fun idea
loved the art style
nice!
the only thing that took me by surprise is the lack of music during the game although you made fantastic in-menu music
other than that - very solid gameplay, loved killing off all that enemies
I couldn't figure out how to combo most of the stuff - but great idea.
this has potential, your art style is lovely as well
audio and more effects would make this game superb - feels like OSMO (or however that game is called)
good job
it got really hard - good stuff
there are too few games of this sort - I really liked to see new enemies popping up constantly
I enjoyed it
sadly it's not really evolution though, but simply "growing up" but the game is solid
good job
very good for a first time
I liked the music as well as the controls and game mechanics
by polishing it a bit more and implementing particle effects and such stuff you could make it even better :D
genius idea :)
I've started this - went down to get a coffee, came back up and almost dropped it.
such a beautiful game
also a very nice demo of natural selection through territorial dominance
that's more like breeding than evolution - but who cares, it's a fun concept
liked it, also very cool your son was involved in your design process
fast, hard and fun game - just as I like it.
took me several attempts to get it right though. the very first time I didn't even understand what was going on ^^
nicely done
the visuals and eerie music were cool
nice game you have here. it's also challenging - love it
quite hard at first but such an awesome experience, nice!
one of my favorites so far :)
thumbs up
that was quite something - the music coupled with the rather disturbingly moving game objects resulted in a unique experience.
somehow psychedelic, I'm rating you high for mood definitely - I liked it :)
rather short but very solid and simply a great experience ... 3D games with 2D sprites are maybe the most underrated visual style ever - loved the explosions, music and fluid gameplay
well done!
I've played it for about 10 minutes and enjoyed checking everything out and seeing things change - awesome mood. then I somehow bugged out of the boundaries and was outside the room, but I guess I've seen everything
very well done, although I there isn't much gameplay in it
very fun game - the scrolling was great
one or two more gameplay elements would make this even better
I didn't stop playing until I won!
the only thing better than frustratingly hard games is when you beat one :)
(yeah, I like stuff like this)
well done - some obvious improvements could be made (better controls, possibly mario-style jumps depending on button press duration, better collision-system, pixel-perfect masks for spikes and stuff) but what really surprised me was the reverse difficulty (which somehow beatifuly reflects the development of game difficulty through time) - brilliant!
the hitbox of the red sawblade things is bigger than they are ... try to make such things pixel perfect, since it'S rather frustrating dying because of something you didn't touch
other than that - fun game, liked the music as well as the concept :)
good job
loved it
everything's solid: graphics, gameplay, content, audio - well done
this is amazing!
I love single machine multiplayer games, graphics/animation are solid as well
the only problem I'm having is to find any connection to the theme ... but who cares, it's fun :)
great game
music is awesome!
well done :)
I'm really amazed by this
it's puzzling to me how you were able to polish the game to such an degree in 48 hours
the only downside I can think of is that many of the cell types aren't much use.
graphics and atmosphere were brilliant though
loved it
as you second game ever this looks quite promising - I'm looking forward to play more games you make
:)
great fun, sucks the player right into the "must get highscore" spiral
some more graphics, like exploding particles and so on, would improve this game significantly
amazing game - clearly one of my favorites
you combinined a classic game mechanic with the concept in a cool way
wow
I can't believe this is a compo entry ... making such a polished and solid game within 48 hours on your own is mindblowing
I smell winner :)
I absolutely love the graphic style - don't be offended if I kinda copy it for the next LD ;)
(although not necessarilyblack&white)
I fed the slime blobs with all I could and also found the key but sadly couldn't open the door or progress further by any means
I didn't expect it from the main screenshot but this is an awesome game!
loved every second of it
that was a very funny game, thank you :)
I think I never thought about radioactive, glowing, waterbreathing, laser cats before - nice
audio & graphics are solid too (although some textures could have worked wonders)
how did you make such a huge game in 48h ?
I'm impressed
great stuff - loved it.
the graphics & controls could use a bit more work but this is criticism on a high level, well done
the most beatiful game I've played this ludum dare so far
sadly there isn't much gameplay in it but the experience is priceless. brushing around the screen with your character to the music is almost of meditating quality
well done guys
nice idea to increase stats through breeding - liked the graphic style as well
solid game, I've enjoyed it a lot
loved it - and man, the music is awesome!
very well done
this has potential on mobile devices - try making an iOS or android build and you might earn a good amount of money with this
well done
loved the music and the particle effects!
some little things like sound effects (sfxr) and screen shakes would make this even more fun
very nice to see that you keep on improving your game as a post-compo version - I'm curious to see how your skills progress and am definitely checking out your future ludum dare games
autotracker never produces such fine tunes for me
the story was interesting and I'd really like to see a sequel to this :)
nice and simple - good job
some sound would have helped a lot, consider using sfxr next time. it's great for getting some simple game sound effects
I liked the visuals - nice presentation
wow - what a cool game, one of my favorite games this LD!
very well done
Best use of the theme of all games I've seen - since actual evolution is going on!
random mutation as well as natural selection (by the player)
wow, such a simple, yet brilliant idea to combine this concept with the classic space invaders gameplay
this is amazingly fun - wow, you're going to get some really high ratings, and you earned them
the only bad thing I could say is that it's a bit too easy and the AI has some (minor) flaws to flatten out (but which AI doesn't)
I enjoyed playing this, solid game in every way
liked it - the best tower defense type game I've played so far this ludum dare
well done, music was awesome as well :D
glad to hear you guys like it :D
@pvwradtke:
thank for the tip, I'm going to add cursor button controls to my games from now on
@biscuitdough:
I thought about letting the player upgrade his weapons, but didn't implement it - so that's why you have three different weapons at all times (although I find some weapons work better again certain enemies)
thx guys :D
@SaintHeiser:
it's actually only 1-bit color depth, since 2-bit would allow for four different values (00,01,10,11) which would mean four different colors. I figured I go as minimalistic as possible - hence the name 'super 1-bit space arena'
@perebu:
you're the first person telling me the game lacks speed - wow, maybe I'll introduce a 'hyper' mode in a potential post-compo version - just for you :)
@matthias_zarzecki:
yes, it is overcrowded, but that's kind of the point of it I guess
@patrickward:
the monotone (1-bit) color depth is how I interpreted the theme, since 1-bit is the lowest possible, hence minimalistic, color depth. Upgrading to even only 2-bit (like the original game boy had) would allow for 2 shades in between black and white which wouldn't seem as minimalistic as I would like it to be
@BrothersT:
yes, implementing a more shallow learning curve was my original idea - maybe even some sort of tutorial. but I figured you guys are awesome enough to not get your time wasted with such nuisances :P
@Cybearg:
Since it's based on Flash I might implement some sort of shader/filter that might modify the look of the game to something more 'real console looking', like a NTSC filter. although this might cost quite some performance I guess
@kidevil:
one of the things I've learned is that randomly chosen multiple, slightly mutated version of one sound can make a huge difference and I'll definitely implement them if I decide to release a post-compo version
for everyone interested in color depths and palettes, here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monochrome_and_RGB_palettes#Monochrome_palettes
thanks guys
yes, the level change is really unfair. I realize that :/
I should have implemented something like a teleport effect or something that introduces 2 seconds or so as some kind of delay - so you don't move your player immediately off the level
one of the things I'll change if I ever make a more fleshed out game out of this
cool little game
If you add some music, screen shakes and occasional enemies that shoot back, this would sell very well on smartphones
wow, probably my favourite so far
this game is amazing
I'm looking forward to more games from you guys
loved it
spot on on the theme, the gameplay is pure minimalism. graphics and presentation are good as well
well done :D
I liked the idea - definitely one of the games I played for more than 5 minutes. well done
:)
great idea and very pretty indeed (it really looks like the gif)
well done
wow, this was great!
I love it, the idea is brilliant and it's very well executed - this is also the type of game I'd like to make to learn some java game dev stuff (since I never made a game with it yet) and looking at your source code will definitely help me a lot
well done :D
the idea is great!
this is a wonderful proof of concept. I'd really like to play a post compo version of this
well done :)
I couldn't get past the second level - yet very well done. there should be more games like this
such a pity - I hope you guys resolve that server problems soon, I really want to play it - the screenshot looks great!
I also noticed 'Serenity' up there :)
I'm lost for words here - so I have to give you some credit for that.
this was the first game I played and it's already awesome
as someone who has played super meatboy a lot I can see where your inspiration is from - however, that also means that I was kind of bored for the first half of it. the later levels are great though.
I love the fact that you implemented so many different level object features and the excellent controls
very well done !
your game told me to leave, no game ever did that before - that must account for something
at first I thought it was some sort of empirical experimental study, disguised as a ludum dare game (something else no game has done before, as far as I know of)
I like it, well done :)
I've player super hexagon a lot the last couple of days, so I felt right at home in this game. very well done. it's also quite polished.
make a mobile version out of it, I'm sure it would sell nicely
the first TD game I've played this LD so far - and I love TD games :)
I would like to see what you could make out of this if you'd more time - so please make a post-compo version
good job :)
this "entry" has more ratings/comments than dozens of others
nice game - felt like first-person Canabalt :D
I played this for a long time - nice game you made there :)
the concept is great and I really like the pixel-looking fluid dynamics. great
well done :)
757
loved it! it's like canabalt with an other great gameplay feature - very cool idea
please release this on mobile platforms - I'd love to play it on my android phone
I simply love arena games (that's why I made one myself) - so naturally yours became one of the favorite games I've played so far this ludum dare :D
well done!
I loved your previous LD entries and love this one as well - well done :)
I've played this with my girlfriend and this might be the best fun we had playing on the same pc for a long time
very well done :)
simple, yet great idea!
I like it
the controls are a bit awkward though, normal FPS controls might be better - but after a minuter or two one gets used to it :)
well done
the cell shading is really awesome - you also got the screen shakes and controls perfectly right, resulting in a really smooth and cool game
well done :D
nice look and concept :)
well done
you made some excellent game design decisions - for example the shrinking platform representing your life (although it would be even better if you could move it independently from the ball - so you wouldn't loose the game because of some mechanic, but because it's way harder to catch the ball with a small platform)
the music was really amazing, I wish I could do music this good
fun game, I liked it
well done
Liked it.
The black fog created a really nice effect in combination with the graininess - although the enemies became really hard to see, but that's the point of it :)
well done
I love the concept and visual style - the game is very interesting as well
nicely done! :)
very polished game - the controls are precise as well
I liked it, one of my favorites so far.
this game is insanely polished and also a lot of fun - fits the theme perfectly as well :)
nicely done
brilliant concept - reminded me of 'alter ego'
I loved your game, made me think about my life decisions in a different kind of way
well done
I had to get the hang out of it first - but once I did I fell in love with the game (especially since the visuals and audio are so great)
very cool game, well done
I really enjoyed this game.
It's well polished and the graphical style is adorable - so is the music.
if you continue developing this you might want to think about porting it to mobile - I'm sure it would be great an android/iOS
very well done
potatos gonna potate!
:D
great game - visuals, audio and gameplay were excellent, loved it :)
well done guys :D
nice idea
very relaxing experience
well done, I enjoyed it :)
great idea :)
I like the concept a lot
well done
wow, amazing game
the concept is brilliant, the graphics are awesome, the gameplay is fluid - I loved it
wow, this is hard - but amazing fun !
one of my favourites :D
I love it
nice game
it doesn't seem to fit the theme though, since it's not minimalistic - it's rather abstract, which are totally different things (many people misinterpreted the theme this way)
you should also speed it up, since the level transitions take a long time, just make the fading stuff and delays twice as fast
what a brilliant idea - and the models and animations were perfectly executed
I could totally see this become a well selling game (at least on mobile) and you should definetely improve upon it and put it on the apple market and google play store (which thx to unity shouldn't be too hard to pull off)
very well done guys, loved it!
wow, what a great game - one of my favourites !
very well done and nicely polished :)
simply a flawless game
graphics are great, audio is immersive, gameplay is amazing - excellent work !
the gravity feels a bit strong, but it's perfectly balanced to the jumps one has to make
I enjoyed playing this a lot
nice concept
very well done :D
great idea, I've never seen a strategy game with drawing move commands - brilliant :)
I love the concept - please continue working on this, it has great potential
well done !
wow, a very fleshed out game you've made there - well done
I love the concept :)
since you didn't provide any instructions I was a bit clueless at first, but after the first level "solved" itself I was amazed. sadly I seem to be to tired for this kind of game right now (I'll check back!) but the satisfaction from seeing a level getting solved is amazing
nice little idea - the best mondrian inspired game I've played so far
very well done :)
genius idea
this was a really relaxing and lovely experience to play
well done :)
intense and great game!
I'd LOVE to know how you made the music - since it's simply amazing.
well done!
great game - this was an awesome experience, thanks
well done :D
very nice game, the textureless style looks very smooth and great - loved it
well done :D
great game and huge fun and nice difficulty !
loved it, well done
great little game
the art is smooth and the whole game feels quite polished and solid
well done - I liked it :D
took me some time to understand how to play it - but great game indeed!
the art style is consistent and pure 8-bit awesomeness
very well done :)
I really enjoyed this, the concept is great!
very well done :D
very cool game
the visuals were amazing. I love virtual worlds like this - it felt quite tron-like.
very well done :D
music and style are great
some bugs, but that's perfectly fine for ludum dare
I liked it, keep working on it and add some more gameplay features. I'd love to play an enhanced version :D
the particle flow is so amazingly beautiful - I want this as my screensaver
the game itself is great, too
very well done !
the visual style is amazing - great little game
well done :D
I love this game !
the idea is so brilliant and simple that I'm hitting my head against the wall for not thinking of it
it's also very nicely executed and graphics and audio are spot on
well done :D
I've got a bug that keeps the camera angle moving upwards D:
tried to play it as good as I could anyway - very cool cell shading you have there. well done
Potatos are awesome - so is this game.
well done, I dig the graphical style of it
I couldn't get it to run, I'm stuck at the title screen. Do I have to press something?
Please provide some basic control instructions - I really want to play this game :D
(putting 'Super' in front of the name of a game makes it 10 times more fun, scientifically proven)
adorable game
I love the fishes
one of my favorite games so far
awesome, as expected from you
I really like this game - one of my favourites for sure
very well done :D
somehow reminded me of the old monkey island games (don't ask me why)
very nice idea and great execution, well done :)
very nice idea - controls are great as well
the amount of content is amazing, loved it
brilliant idea, reminded my of super puzzle platformer deluxe
well done - I especially liked the audio
amazing game
loved it in every way possible
well done :D
I never raped my keyboard keys so much as this - awesome :D
well done, this was fun
I'd really like to see an enhanced post-compo version, this game has potential
wow, I really enjoyed this game
the visual style is incredibly smooth and is simply a delight to look at
well done :D
the visual style is adorable, well done!
one of my favorites so far!
however - please try to accommodate for other keyboard layouts. I'm using a QWERTZ keyboard, instead of a QWERTY keyboard (since I'm German) and had to struggle with the controls. use X + C instead od Z + X next time, please :)
the game itself is amazing!!
where's the source though ?
loved it - the pixel based (rather than character based) movement killed the retro effect for me though
but it didn't affect the huge fun this game is. the vocal sound effects are great! and I loved reading all the stuff that happens as text messages (which did allows you to implement fancy gameplay features without having to graphically represent them) clever solution
well done :)
(P.S. I love the fact you made an android port)
how did you manage to make such a complex game in 48h, I'm stunned !
this is great :)
very cool, I love it
fun game!
the surprise one gets after the intro is priceless (I was expecting a platformer). by the way - the character is a square wearing pants ... I might have seen its yellow cousin somewhere ;)
cool idea, well done
look & feel are nice, but I couldn't find the bad guy so I kept running around and painted the level
fun game anyway :)
super cute presentation and idea
well done
I love it - one of my favourites this LD !
very well done guys :D
great little game
I liked it :D
well done
great concept and use of the theme
solid game, well done :)
this was fun - although it's not very difficult or rich in variety.
the music somehow accompanied the gameplay in a strange, yet great way - certainly didn't expect this light-fun sounding melody while looking at the screenshots
all in all a very nice entry - I'm looking forward to your upcoming ludum dare entries in the future :)
@everyone:
thanks for the feedback and playing my game :D
@Darien:
all classes have an auto-attack, you simply have to hold the mouse button down
in case of the fighter - he hits everything around him (regardless where you point your mouse - he's a badass)
@eckcz:
the idea is to find good routes trough the dungeon under time pressure to gather enough gold to beat the boss
@Nerlin & Icass:
Just like 'Realm of the Mad God' and several other games, this game is using the 'LoFi Fantasy' graphic set - made by Oryx
You can find it here: http://oryxdesignlab.com/sprites/
@zammy:
oh my god - that last suggestion of yours is amazing. I should have put 3 or 4 different "deadline-unlock" spawnpoint per level (chosen at random at level generation) so that you couldn't simply memorize the locations at each level - at least not as easily.
that would've been so great ... I wish I would have thought of that
(the countdown disable option is a nice idea as well)
I might contact you during the next LD to playtest a prototype of mine and get some suggestions ;)
great idea, the graphical style is amazing as well
liked it, I'm looking forward to your next games
well done :)
simply a very nice game - well done
simply a very nice game
well done :)
I like it
the rather funny music makes this game quite humorous :)
nice game, thank you
wow - this game is amazingly similar to what I did, even the upgrades are working in a similar way
it seems our minds are thinking alike :)
liked your game a lot - well done!
also, @everyone, if you like this game you will probably like mine too
very nice game
loved the concept
the fact that you were able to get away with no UI at all and put the clock in the background was a clever choice
well done
I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought: "wow, this looks nice" - after reading the description and checking out the screenshot I thought: "ok, I'm gonna play this now - but let's check out the video to see what it's like". 3 seconds in the video I thought: "crap, I've wasted three seconds in which I didn't play this game, what am I doing here?" and immediately started it.
great concept and game - love the minor aesthetic touches (moving platforms and those yellow snake thingies). the gameplay is solid as well. nicely done :)
amazing game - loved the drag&drop mechanic
the visual style is wonderful
very well done - didn't expect anything less from you :)
great idea
loved it
great game - didn't expect anything less from you :)
enjoyed it a lot, very well done
very cool idea & concept
please continue working on this :)
well done
great little game, I enjoyed it a lot - despite being used to faster platformers (super meatboy and consorts)
well done :)
we need more games with the ability to (destructively) run trough walls - awesome game mechanic
lots of fun - although the camera angle/movement could be improved
well done :)
I love this game!
The graphics immediately draw me in and the music and gameplay just fits it perfectly.
I also like the difficulty of your game - I wasn't able to save even one girl in my first playthrough, but after multiple ones I managed to save most of them.
great little game! well done!
very cool concept - reminded me of a paper glider game I've played years ago, with the great addition of having two different resources
the graphics are marvelous as well
well done - I really enjoyed it :)
great game, couldn't beat it though :(
really terrifying to get the ground beneath your feet taken away and be thrown into lava
well done, liked it a lot
I think the controls would be more fluid if you ditch the mouse controls entirely, just use the space bar for shooting.
(since the firing angle is fixed to the movement)
the game is great though - loved the graphical style and killing zombies is always fun. good job :)
this might become great on mobile devices if you develop it further
I love one-button-games
very well done
wow - I'm blown away by how polished this is
very well done
this is ... amazing
the modelling and animation is top notch, music too
very well done
great game
this doom-esque fps games are just great - maybe I'll install doom 1 again :D
solid use of the theme, good job
brilliant idea :)
loved it
I simply can't believe you made this within 48h, that's totally unreal
if this had some nice audio to go along with the fluid gameplay and amazing graphics, I totally would pay money for it
please consider releasing this on mobile platforms
incredibly well done!
I love the non-horizontal leveldesign and graphical style - amazing
very solid entry, well done :)
loved the idea
the cat names were hilarious
music is top notch as well
this is amazing - lovely art style, music and concept
great game
I really like crazy games if they are executed as good as this one - well done :)
wow, I loved this one!
(didn't expect anything but a great game from you)
the mood is amazing - great music too
this game is totally amazing
(I didn't expect a game without audio from you)
turning it into a collaborative multiplayer game in such a way is next to genius. loved it. the time limit was difficult but fair, and some of the drawings were hilarious
I'm curious how the graphics rating of this game will turn out, since I don't know how to rate it in this regard ^^
one of my favorites so far!
definitely a must-play of this Ludum Dare.
I think I might re-install 'Draw Something' on my android phone because of this game ...
fun little game :)
great work
loved the different weapons and top down shooters are always great
well done :)
didn't get the game at first
the concept is great and the graphical style is very solid
well done :)
fun game. this is one of those entries I'd really like to see developed further, definitely has potential.
any game that gives me the feeling of being a wizard is a great game - this one is no exception
well done, I really like the concept - would love to see this game developed further
the most disturbing game I've played so far - but also one of the funniest ones
loved it :)
5/5 Humor
(didn't expect anything but a great game from you)
beautiful - both graphic and storywise
great entry - nice narration can improve a game a lot
loved it - the graphical style is amazing as well
this is AMAZING
at first I was a bit put off by the voice tutorials but man, this is great
loved it
solid game as well
nicely done, one of my favorites :)
great use of the theme - loved the game
kind of reminded me of the 'Case Closed' anime/manga
Ludum Dare surely needs more games like this one
well done :)
loved the graphical style and the gameplay
great entry - keep up your amazing work!
haha, very great game
loved it!
didn't expect anything but a great game from you :)
I love it - please don't forget to upload the source code as well
Clearly inspired by Samurai Gunn - but that's not a bad thing. Great game!
love it - don't forget to upload the source code as well (it's required for the compo category)
please provide the source code for your game, it's required for /compo/
other than that, great game :)
please provide the source code, it's required for /compo/
other than that, great game :)
I loved reading all your comments - thanks for playing my game :D
A lot of great suggestions here - as well as so many compliments, I'm really happy
I might to a post-compo version next week or so with the following changes:
-tutorial level and better learning/difficulty curves
-couple of new traps (at least one new summon as well)
-couple of new heroes (trap immune invisible ones, fast riders and big guy with much hp)
-more archer arrows contrast (by using an effect trail)
-less starting gold overall (can't buy lots of traps at the beginning)
-hero exit (heroes take some gold and try to flee)
-more levels
-better level transitions
-enemies come in waves with short (skipable) pauses in between
-better music and sound effects (I didn't have much time during compo)
-easier controls (especially buying traps)
-stun bar (fills when getting hit, decreases over time - stun when full)
-overheat bar (fills when attacking, decreases over time - can't attack when full)
-powerful active ability that costs gold (on cooldown)
-dragon selection (each dragon uses different attack / active ability)
-bosses, that are very strong and have an aura that buffs nearby heroes
-maybe some sort of story intro (super rudimentary)
-more polishing overall (actual animations for example)
best game I've played so far
amazing experience, nicely done!
I hope you'll continue working on it. I'd love to play more levels :D
wow, I loved this!
the art and overall style of this game is amazing
controls and gameplay are nicely done, too
great game!
I love simplistic, retro looking shooters - reminds me of Doom
Well done. Took me a while to realize I could strafe, but then I kicked alien ass.
art is lovely and the story telling is well implemented.
well done :D
This is one of those games I really hope to see a post-compo version of.
great experience, loved it!
cool experience
fits the theme in an interesting way
well done
fun game - maybe the best sound/music i've stumbled upon so far
well done :D
please continue working on this!

well done :)

loved every second of it
nice game!
cool ending, I enjoyed it :D
nice idea
I liked it :)
Great idea!
loved the game, art and music are nicely done.
overall, very well done :D
Such game could be used to learn vocabulary for foreign languages.
for whatever reason I can't stop playing this because of the graphical style
amazingly done :D
great experience
what a beautiful game
amazing work!
haha, I love storytelling like this
well done :D
Couldn't play the game in Chrome (white screen) but it worked fine in other Browsers.
Cute nice game! loved it!
:D
could really use some music but I've submitted games without audio before, too - we've all been there.
Great work, well done game and nice idea.
obviously this game looks amazing
why aren't you allowing to vote for graphics ?
you managed to capture the look and feel of diablo 3 pretty well. nice work.
great game, loved the story telling through in-world text blocks
great take on the theme
nice game overall - loved it, especially the cute graphics
well done :)
great game - I really hope you'll continue working on it. I would love to play that.
the art and mood of the game is perfect
well done
fun game :)
well done guys
there are some obvious things to improve, but that's true for all entries (48/72 hours aren't that long after all), but this is nicely done, especially for a first entry
looking forward to your work next LD
I wish it would have more content so I could play it more.
Great game.
Well done :D
you had my curiosity after seeing the title
but once I saw that putin is in the game you had my attention :D
great game - would 'explodasaur' 10/10 times
loved it
graphics are amazing and there's something about jumping (and burning) bunnies that's simply pure joy
fun little game :D
well done
I especially loved the comments of the goblins
loved it
the art style is great, more games should have selectable color palettes - nice idea
cute game, loved it :D
the art style is amazing
well done :)
