The art reminded me of braid, which is amazing. :)

love the art :D
Love the concept and the levels. Awesome work!
Really unforgiving! Cool concept though, nice job!
Had fun with this, until one level where there really was no way out hahaha. Great work on the randomly generated levels. And +1 for thinking with portals! Keep it up.
Pretty legit. Game is solid :)
Nice little game. You should make more levels, maybe increase the difficulty, add obstacles, etc etc. Not bad for a first game made in 4 hours. Also fits the theme well. Overall, great job!
For a game about shit. This one is actually fun. :D
I got 1,135,500 :P Nice little game!
Could use a bit more polish. Stuff like structure health points, maybe indicators that the enemies are attacking this building, etc. It could also be nice if you let the player know when the enemies are coming (e.g. next wave coming in 60 seconds, or in this case, enemies will attack upon planting the 6th crop)
But other than that, the gameplay is really addictive! I'd really like to see this finished and maybe made into a mobile game, I'd play the hell out of it. :)
My comments on the compo version are pretty much covered by everyone else (enemy spawn indicator etc etc), but you really did a good job on the updated version! I really like the art style especially the player character. The gameplay is fun and it's great that it now gets harder as the game progresses.
Amazing game overall! Keep it up :)
Beautiful. To be honest, I was really excited about this game the moment I saw that first GIF you posted. :D Visual style is simply amazing! I especially love that screen shake. And theme usage is really great. Awesome game overall!
This game is fun! Love the graphics and the music.
The graphics are minimal but it looks great nonetheless. I feel like the jump is too short though. But other than that, good job!
I didn't read the description so it took me a while to find out where the confirm button was, LOL. But anyway, really fun and well polished game!
I wanted to play this badly, unfortunately I don't have gamepads nor friends to play with. :( This looks really fun though, graphics look great!
Nice little game! Love the mechanic. The pixel art looks really great too, though it should look a bit better if the pixel sizes were the same.
Great job overall, you should make more levels!
Interesting mechanic, but not seeing where the enemies are makes switching really hard. Love the art too!
Hey everyone,
A web version should be online shortly. The Mac version however will be in about less than a week from now since I don't have a mac to test it until then.
We are currently continuing development for the game and might put up a post-jam version with a few updates, maybe more skills and levels. Maybe even an endless mode!
Anyway, thanks for all the feedback! :)
First time I've rated a 5/5 for Mood! Maybe you should make the jump instant, controls will feel more responsive that way. Other than that great game overall, I really like the graphics. Good job!
Love the graphics and the ambient space music. Gameplay is really unforgiving though. I also suggest tweaking the controls a bit to make it more responsive. But other than that, it's a nice little game. Keep it up!
Definitely one of the top Ludum Dare 28 games! I was excited about this entry since you posted those screenshots during the compo. ;)
I wasn't able to catch the killer, but I find the gameplay really interesting. Beautiful pixel art! Love the ambient music and the space-y sounds. And there even is a Star Wars reference :P
Amazing work overall!
Love the concept! The gameplay is nice and simple but addicting. I really like the graphics as well. Definitely added to my list of favorite Ludum Dare 28 games!
Very cute game! I really love the pixel art and the puzzles. Keep it up!
Nice little game, loved the particles. You should consider making a mobile version for this!
Well that's a really cheap way to make use of the theme :P Had fun with this. Love the humor, especially the voice sound effects.
This is really awesome! Loved the graphics, especially the day & night cycle. The theme was used really well. The controls are fluid. I don't know about the others but I'm okay with the jump physics when I found out you could double jump.
I encountered the arrow reload loop bug as well, which caused the timer to run out. And yep, that really was a cute way of getting disposed of. :P
Other than that I had fun playing! I hope you continue development for this game, maybe add more enemy types or levels. Keep it up! You guys did a great job overall :)
This is fun and hilarious! I really like it that you actually get to play your finished game. :P The visuals look really nice as well. Great job overall!
Wow, I really enjoyed this game! It sure is hard, but I absolutely loved it. The puzzles just have the right amount of difficulty, and that A-ha! moment is really satisfying.
Best use of YOGO among the games I have played. Reminds me of HM08. :P Definitely my favorite entry so far. Keep it up!
The mechanic is really cool, the controls nice and fluid, and the level design challenging and fun. I especially liked level 13, it's really satisfying to complete tough levels. Love the lo-fi pixel art as well!
Definitely one of the top games for this LD.
The color palette is really nice, love the aesthetics! Gameplay is really challenging and fun, especially the mini-games. My only issue is when I defeated the second boss, I died from the spikes while going back up and had to start from the beginning. Checkpoints would have been great. Other than that, the game is really well-polished and fun - definitely of the best entries. Good job!
I checked out your game because I saw the GIF you posted and the game looks really interesting, and IT IS! I made it to level 10.
This is a great example of how you can make an awesome game with little to no art but with nice polishing and gameplay. I really like the bullets physics and the variety of the enemies and all, but the best part of this game is the tsunami waves mechanic. Brilliant idea!
This is a really fun and unique shmup and I'd love to see this made into a complete game! Great work for a game made in 12 hours. Keep it up!
The pixel art is really really beautiful especially when the plants start growing. Love the drip mechanic too. Great job, keep it up!
Blablablablabla LOL. Really funny entry!
I scored 75, nice little game! I like how there are lots of different enemy types, it makes the game less repetitive and more challenging. Some improvements you could make would be adding "squish" sound effects when the bugs get killed, that would be really satisfying! Also, this would make a good mobile game. Keep it up!
The get-to-the-surface objective is pretty cool and fun, but then I could just drill and jetpack all the way up. Maybe if you could make it so the jetpack fuel (and maybe the rifle ammo) is limited, then when enemies die they could drop fuel and ammo pickups or something. Nevertheless the gameplay is really cool, and I love the animations as well. Keep it up!
Great game! Really fun building an army. Keep it up!
Scary that it's pretty similar to our game
The gameplay is really simple and fun! The controls were hard to master at first but I got the hang of it after 2-3 levels. I'd love to see more content added and please do make a mobile version! Good job, keep it up.
yeahhhhffuuuu
The light effects are beautiful. The piano is perfect too, but I'm thinking it might be better if the notes played were on a same chord/scale, the music would be even better that way. But nevertheless, the mood is really nice and I played for more than a few minutes just so I could get to the levels with more fireflies. Great job!
This is one of the best entries this LD! Gameplay is unique and fun, art is really cute and well-polished. The controls feel really good as well. I especially like the theme use in this one. Awesome work!
The fire bomb arrows are pretty cool! The controls could use a bit more tweaking though, or maybe it's just me. Haha
Other than that the game is fun and I especially love the randomly generated maps, the explosion particle effects and the music. Great job overall!
Nice game, very polished and the music is really catchy too!
Cool, an incremental game on Ludum Dare, but with dragons!
Also it's really nice that you made this with your family. :)
For controls, I think WASD to move and mouse to fire/harvest is the usual control scheme for a topdown game. I also think the bullets/arrows are too small and slow. If you make the game a little more fast-paced it would be even more fun to play.
Nonetheless I like the crafting idea, really cool concept. Keep it up!
Awesome game! I especially love the lighting as it adds to the suspense. I think the shooting controls feel a bit weird though and the bullets are too small. Fun game nonetheless! :)
Love the chill upbeat music and the elevator mechanic, I think it fits with the theme well. The controls are perfect, and you don't always see LD games with controls this good! Awesome job overall!
Oh and thanks for making it so we don't have to restart the whole game if you die :)
The interview thing is a really great idea! Especially facial expressions controls. Good job!
Not bad for a game made in 24 hrs! The graphics are simple but looks good. One thing I like to do when making shmup games is adding a little spark to enemies when hit i.e. change color to white for like 0.02 seconds. Also particles would be great and are easy to implement in Unity.
Also, if you want to keep making shoot em up games, I recommend watching "The Art of Screenshake" by Jan Willem (from Vlambeer).
Keep it up!
Adorable! I don't really mind the controls, I think it's okay. And I especially love the story behind the game.
This reminds me of the flash game days. :) Good job.
hi pinoys
Mazeception! Really cool use of the theme, however I agree with the others about the controls. Awesome game though, keep it up!
sweet game egbert! :D
Good game. The twist on the end though. hahahaha. well done. But the physics of the game needs to be adjusted. The movements is just too slippery. haha
Awesome game with excellent chiptune music! (Actually I just left the game running in the background after playing just to listen to the music.)
Oh and also I NEED THAT LICKING CONTROLLER.
This game is so fun and challenging! The art is gorgeous, especially the laser effect. Too bad it didn't have some arcade-y chiptune music, but definitely one of my favorites for this jam.
Great job and congrats on the game!

Wow, this is a very polished game! Too bad it didn't have sounds and some music. But the mechanic is nice and very fun to play, not to mention the planets are procedurally generated. Oh and those particles are gorgeous!
Hoping to see more from this game, keep it up!
– Alphonsus
Nice little game with funny dialogue and catchy music! My only issue is the controls could use a bit of tweaking so that it's not too draggy/slippery – especially because there's a lot of walking and picking up stuff in the game.
Other than that the game is really fun. Keep it up!
Awww, poor guy just wants his bread. :(
This game is really fun! I died JUST when I saw the signpost on my way back. :P
Love your take on the theme. I think the concept is pretty neat and well executed. Great job!
– Alphonsus
Really fun entry! Managed to finish the game once I got used to the controls, which I think are just right. I had to keep pressing R whenever I die since the respawn time is a bit too long.
The levels are really difficult as I think the enemy bullets are too quick, but that makes it even more satisfying to complete a level – not to mention them juicy neon-colored splatters.
Congrats on the game!
– Alphonsus
Cool idea, our initial plan for our game is actually similar to this one!
One thing you could also improve on is making the attacks feel more satisfying and juicier – add some feedback by flashing a white color to the sprite, maybe some blood particles, knockback, etc.
Congrats on the game, keep it up!
Very fun game and a cool concept! Love the ogre characters' faces.
The controls and physics are pretty much spot on, although I think the throw charges are a bit too slow.
Would love to see more of this game, keep it up!
– Alphonsus
Pretty cool and simple mechanic that is executed well. The controls, the speed of the units and the enemy behavior are just perfect. Killing enemies with the laz0r eyebeams feels really satisfying!
Good job on the game!
– Alphonsus
Props for making an RPG for a Ludum Dare game. Keep it up!
Game looks really cool from the screenshots! Too bad I can't play on OS X. :(
I really enjoyed playing your game. I liked the part where she turned into a monster and started walking really fast. That scared me a lot. The Art, Mood and the Audio is so well made. I was expecting a jumpscare but there wasn't. Thank you for that.
I'd love to see this on a mobile. I love the simple graphics that worked well with this game. Highest one I got was only 13. I wish there was a full screen option though. Since I kept hovering my mouse outside the game which whips the line upwards.
