Darnit - really keen to play this, but the music starts and nothing else happens.
Will see if I can wget it to local.. fingers crossed.
mohammad: 3 lives is computer game tradition! It's older than you and I combined :)
Great job, highly enjoyable little tale. Congrats. (p.s. my headphoned ears say hi ;)
Fun game!
A little unclear what my goal is after the dog's grown up, though I'm still playing so I guess I'll find out!
Very neat idea - took me a while to see the benefits of the breeding, but boy - when it took off it really got complex quickly!
Quite good fun, and just awesomely original
So hard. So addictive :)
I haven't even gotten past the sperm part yet, but I tried for ages. even got to 19 a couple times before the whole bunch were dispersed..
Really cool, simple, engaging. will play again and try to see all the other parts
Interesting idea - the idea of somewhat indirect attacks was initially a bit frustrating but actually adds quite a lot.
Would have been great to see a few more slopes, or perhaps materials which make the balls bounce more or less. perhaps gravity vortex?
nice work - very original :)
Very interesting concept - Wasn't sure what the tutorial was trying to tell me, but I think I got the gist eventually.
Any chance you'll be adding to this?
F'in brilliant!
Michael jackson. sex bob-ombs. mouse trap. holy crap.
I will now always remember having nothing to worry about.
really great use of minimalism and teaching by playing.
Very enjoyable, and I couldn't help feeling a little nervous due to the great atmosphere (frankly I was surprised when contact with the Thing didn't kill me, though I've only gotten a half zoen levels through so far)
Really nice job all aound, well done!
It'd be nice to be able to pull up the instructions at any time as my memory isn't what it used to be - but truly a very polished game
What a great concept - I love this :)
Took me a little while to get what I was doing, but it was worth it to watch my goofy little tractors stealing all the food! Roll, awkward stick tank. Roll.
Very cool idea - though I must admit I was sort of expecting there to be a worm whose brain I'd been designing during gameplay :)
Hahaha! Brilliant.
Please tell me there were 1000 kittens in the end?
Also: I love how, after the janitor comments on the music making you crazy, it eventually fades out. I think "wow. it stopped! maybe that's a mistak... oh. it's started again." ^_^
Wow that looks amazing!
Really cool stuff, and great unified feel.
Unfortunately it's running at ~5fps on this machine for some reason so I'll have to wait on votes
LD26 — Minimalism (22)
Friggin Lazors by Fenmar 2013-05-20T08:13:00
Great work, nicely designed and implemented :)
I concur with the comments about block-pushing being a nag, but it's hardly a deal breaker, just sort of pulls the rug out from the exploratory feeling at the beginning.
Especially liked that there were multiple approaches to solve it
This is not a minimalist game by Volute 2013-05-20T07:51:00
Awesome stuff :)
Text Parser Platformer by takeshi92 2013-05-17T06:17:00
The reason it's only playable in firefox is that the start of your web link is "https" change it to "http" and it should work fine on other browsers
Spike Line by Yorwba 2013-05-07T16:27:00
Interesting idea, though the random generation leaves much to be desired.
Is that music procedural? It's irritating, but if you put the effort into generating music you deserve recognition for this :)
Line Knight by berareu 2013-05-07T16:22:00
great work, a little hard to see why you die or how I beat the boss, but very enjoyable!
(Follow the) Line by Chman 2013-05-03T19:49:00
should carry a warning about its addictiveness.
very super-hexagon, I likey!
MOTHBOTS by terrivellmann 2013-05-03T19:38:00
Holy wow-trousers that was fun!
Looks amazing too, really good use of spooky lighting and it feels really out of control when the light goes out and there are huge shadows coming at you
Wow.
Pipe Dreams by JAH2488 2013-05-01T16:39:00
That was just awesome. First game I've wanted to obsessively replay for speedruns.
In fact I may do just that in a minute. So rad.
=== Anyone Who's Talking About "glitchy" Handling ===
This platformer is way smarter that it initially seems. I was about to dismiss it and then was rewarded (repeatedly) for perseverance. One of my favourite platformers in ages.
I would gladly play more of this, and wouldn't bat an eyelash at paying for the privilege if it had a highscore/replay system.
Also: I loved how many different approaches you allowed for, reminds me of the advanced pathways in Mario games
Seriously good work!
Shape of shades by allinlabs 2013-05-01T16:23:00
Fucking. awesome.
Brilliant idea and execution. You get all my stars!
Dwalk by Joritan Cety 2013-05-01T00:03:00
Can't wait to try it with another person!

it quits silently on Snow Leopard (for me at least)

Triangulum by bompo 2013-04-30T22:59:00
Really cool stuff, what an amazing look!
I didn't stick with it long, but v.cool
The epicly short adventure by JaJ 2013-04-30T22:51:00
Haha - wow, I chose incorrectly in the [yes/no] and accidentally did a speedrun. Thank goodness there are extra screenshots to hint that there's more, but I had a hefty chuckle when I thought "epicly short" meant 15 seconds or so.
Using 'enter' to skip dialogs took me a little while to discover though, which I guess is oddly stupid of me, I've gotten so used to Z, X or spacebar that I mashed keys quite a lot before trying enter :)
Nice work! Gonna play more
Pongless by Otoris 2013-04-30T22:44:00
Really cool idea, with a little tweaking I could quite happily play this as a relaxing game.
Can you actually beat the AI? I'd love to see a video
Hexzilla by Bernhard 2013-04-30T20:58:00
Oh wow, I totally started working on a prototype of this last week after having a dream about it - thanks so much for letting me play it without having to work more :)
Pretty damn cool idea, and really smooth implementation (and a tutorial!)
It'd be nice to have a little more build time at the beginning, but it's highly playable and a fantastic job
Bucket by ChrisGaudino 2013-04-30T20:33:00
Really nice-looking game, congrats on your first LD!
I quite enjoyed playing, and had a lot of near-misses which got me nervous :)
Didn't stick with it very long, but an enjoyable experience
Min's Journey by acro 2013-04-30T20:26:00
alas the Jar won't launch for me either, I'm on Mac Osx 10.6
Looks really nice though, will come back and hope there's a solution
LD26 Crimson Tide by Neurolabe 2013-04-29T06:08:00
Well-timed, I was poking around, building things and not really knowing what I was doing and generally looking like a confused druid who didn't read the instructions first.
Right at the moment that I figured I'd best set out to explore NorthEast I saw the wave of red and got a weird sense of urgency which caused me to suddenly understand a lot more of what was going on.
Quite cool, congrats on your first finished Ludum Dare!
Generic Shoot Em Up by dcm 2013-04-29T05:41:00
Hee heee! Splat! I died.
Sounds weren't working for me, but I'm using an antiquated version of Chrome
Jetpack Cube Man by TrentSterling 2013-04-29T04:47:00
THE FLOOR IS LAVA!
rad.
Tendril by Greg Power 2013-04-29T04:43:00
Fantastic concept and execution, really feels like it'd fit in with the cool ambient games.
I like the pace, but I was playing it with fairly chilled music playing, so I imagine if you had a little more time it'd be a killer (and great time-passing-mechanism on mobile platforms)
Onion Harvester by cacciatc 2013-04-29T04:33:00
Fun game (and hard)
I'll have to come back to it, kept dying on the second level. Sooo close on those block jumps.. soo close
nice work!
