Loved the tune, really exciting.
Thanks for your good work!
Awesome, It totally stole away about 20 minutes of my life. I ended up doubling my empire. VICTORY!!!! Tonight ill be at 100% according to the plan :D
Great Job btw i totally love the gameplay.
Your game has simple yet Awesome visuals. The gameplay loop is really simple yet it kept me playing around for some minutes until I realized i was trapped into my new job of collecting wool :)
A really good compo, yet probably missing a goal (and sound). But this is probably the purpose.
Really nice game, imho the jumping is a bit weak and erratic. But it adds difficulty. Since player is invulnerable, Maybe adding more pressure to the player would have added more balance to the game. In the end, this is a really interesting projet.
I've also tested the 3-day's version, the player control seems smoother. And the sound gives a way better feel to the game. Still, the games is rather easy.
Great work!
This game is really fancier than its title! :)
Really had a good time playing It
Awesome graphics and storytelling. I was so moved by this true representation of this distopian future.
Consider a port to PS4 maybe?
This game is quite similar to my compo entry, and also very different, since the goal is to collect gems but the progression and rythm are opposed. A very interesing project since the strategy in order to progress through the maze seems rather clear at first by the shortsight really tightens the strategy to force yourself to explore every corner of each floor.
Very cool entry.
A video of the game running can be found here:

Please note that the XNA Redist is also included with the redistribuable, but also you would probably require the .NET framework 4.0
Awesome compo! I litterally loled at the ending. Very clever project based on a really simple idea. This game is litterally worth the effort of climbing to the top!
Congratulations.
Great game, with a really nice ending. At first the game can be a bit confusing about all these doors opening and closing but really worth the try :)
Really good work on this one.
Seriously.... Meow! :)
Very fun, loved the pace!
Still regretting the simplicity of the sound though.
A really nice visual and music trip, really relaxing. Game rules are stripped to the simplest expression, but really nicely executed.
Wowzers, it took me a while to understand that I could go in *any* direction including changing while backtracking. A simple yet genius piece of jam! Really good job! Definitely one of the best compos I tried! Why isn't it just rated yet?
Really confusing at first but clicking on the farm is really a pain (could you have required less clicks or is it intended?). It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do (had to come back to the page)
Graphics are well made even though you reused assets, composition is good and chronolings castle is really well made!
@merkisoft @paperfly @superunknown @jk5000 @jharler
Thanks for all kind words, folks :)
@jk5000 : The game in itself is not ending its never-ending loop.
thanks @bereg! Indeed there's no ending to this experience (unless you Alt+F4 of course :) )
Thank you everyone for all these kind words and good reviews! I honestly did not expect such good results. I am very grateful you enjoyed my contribution to the Jam and I really hope to have time to join the next jam in April! :)
Really Really Really good! Gameplay on steroids makes it a bit difficult at first but once you get a grip it becomes really enjoyable maybe a bit of pacing (slow mo) when entering/exiting rollback phases could help your player understand more in the beginning (tutorial only?) Anyway, really good job to all of you for coming up with such a cool game!
Nice game! There's a catch as your sun still makes the planet color change even when it departs so you need to anticipate the moment you release it. Camera and Planet movement Animations were choppy on my computer, is it normal? (Rotation was fine though)
Firm but fair. Good polished game. Had fun, yet not went through all of it.
I am a bit confused, I played the game and got souls right so I could alter my attributes, went to the bar, then played a minigame but was not able to talk to any of the demons. Great job for the art and audio design though!
At first I thought it was super hexagon, and I tried to shoot at the blue arcs of the loops, then I died multiple times, until I found out that it was the pink part that was sensitive.
Then I all became clear! Played your game for many minutes and it is really enjoyable! The graphics are quite minimalistic but this is not an issue, audio is good and the loop keeps you in a good mood for playing.
Great job!
The movement is really touchy, seems that your player has infinite acceleration so it can be really frustrating when he's rushing all through the room. Had a rough time with the controls and player speed but managed to go through some rooms.
Pretty good! Loved how you came up with the suicide bullet challenge... Reminded me a lot of Ikaruga, but the color loop makes it way more challenging :) Good job!
Very polished and good time playing it. Congrats
Thought it was a cannon game until I found out that I could move around (probably because there is nothing that gives you hint). Game feel is quite pleasant but music is really hard to bear after minutes.
Wow wow! Excellent work and really polished execution! One of this jam's personal favorite! Blew my mind :)
This is an excellent audio experience! Really enjoyed playing through ! Good job!
Really good exploration of the scrolling loop, really twisted my mind and had a good time playing it! Good Job :)
Very pleasant experience, a bit confusing at start but once you fully understand the extent of what you need to do ( or not to do :) ) it becomes really enjoyable! Good job!
