Good game. but what was the point of it? I didn't know how to even progress. Maybe you should give us more information. Keep developing it. :D

Good game. but what was the point of it? I didn't know how to even progress. Maybe you should give us more information. Keep developing it. :D
Had fun playing it. So hardcore and so difficult to reach checkpoints. and it was cool.
I didn't understand! was those spider like creatures enemies or friends? I could gain energy by just walking through them and not shooting a single bullet. Maybe that was just a tiny glitch. You can make a full game out of it. Hope to see the full game after LD.
WOW! It made me sleepy. Nice job. That was fun.
It felt really good. It was hard to control the ship sometimes but didn't affect the mood. I would have liked to see the full game. nice job.
As you said, It's unfinished. But I can imagine a more detailed atmosphere for the game. for these types of games, you need to work harder on visuals. Cuz it may get a little boring after a couple of minutes. Anyway, I hope you make a full game out of it. good luck.
Man, that was so nostalgic. For a while, I recalled my memories playing with my old school big computer. that was fun to play for me. Nice job!
It feels so good to play. Movements are so smooth and in my opinion, this is so ok. I don't know why but I like to see blood in the game. I'm not telling you to change the core gameplay, but while playing, I really wanted something to hit the rivals with. I like to hit them in respond. but totally, the gameplay felt so good. Btw I couldn't reach level 6. It got so difficult.and that was my fault. the difficulty was ok.
I just wanted to say that I'm gonna play more after telling you that your game is awesome. Well done. I suggest rewarding the player after each round. or maybe not, it is even cooler without that. just a suggestion.
Audio: 5 out of possible 5. Every time I lose, I die from laughter XD. The SFX were really produced by you :D Nice job.
WOW. That was so much fun. The first time I saw the visuals, kind of disappointed me, but as I played more, I really wanted to beat the game. And I did. I'd like to see power-ups in the game like madness mode or something, which makes you invincible for a couple of seconds. And in my opinion, the game needs some crazy metal music.
And I'm waiting for more levels to come.
I tried to go to the windows page but I got the following error:

That was nice. Graphics look so good. Nice job for that. And also the mood was so great. That light in the darkness of the night looked fantastic.
I suggest adding surprises for the player to experience while walking through the maze. Like adding an evil ghost to follow the player, so the player has to decide faster. Or evil trees! (It came to my mind just right now) But in total, It was great. keep working on it. :D
Nice game. Just lack of audio could be felt. Other things were good. Good mechanics and good controls for a cloud character. Let your game show itself beside other well-made games in the LD site by playing and rating other games. It's really effective. I assure.
You did very well. Telling a story using a simple looking screen and text. The only problem I felt was the story. I would have liked to follow a more engaging story. Cuz you know, the only thing you have in these kinds of games to add more variety and fun, is your story. So you need to play well with that. But anyways, It was good. It has the potential to pull the player back to play more.
At some platforms, I just preferred killing myself rather than trying to continue. I think you need to avoid unwanted climbings. not using them as obstacles. But you know, the visuals really got me. I really wanted to play just as I saw the screenshots. keep making more levels and adding more hazards. I like it.
Nice job. You did well. Every thing looked great while playing. And it's really good that the game has its own level-editor. I also found a bug. when I traveled to the 3rd map, the map ended in a place and I was in the space. The enemies were in the space too. I guess the game didn't generate a part of it. but it was not a big deal. It's still a good game.
I couldn't grow a city like the picture above but... whatever. liked the gameplay. keep adding more gameplay mechanics so it won't look and feel like games like "Sim City" and "City Skylines." I would have liked to have a mission while playing. Wish you success.
The best game I've played so far in LD. It was a little laggy on my PC but was not a deal. I beat the game and it was so much fun.
I hope you make a full game out of it and publish it successfully. I really like to see the full game. BTW, The sound effect at the end of each level was so cool. keep it.
Fantastic looking game. The controls were a bit laggy. sometimes got me stuck in corners and sides of the window. I think for a browser game, you should remove the mouse control. the player may click outside of the game window and lose control. Regardless of that, everything was fine. keep making it better.
Damn it's so hard. I couldn't even play it for 3 minutes. You need to make it easier. at least give me more power. or make the enemies weaker for the beginning. About the idea of the game, it was nothing in particular. just had the competition's theme. but you know, it can be better than it is now.
@ludic-studios > I can’t hear the sounds but the visuals and the mechanic are awesome.
Yeah. there's no sound. I ran out of time. I should've mentioned that in the description.
@boxfort > This game is absolutely beautiful, the art is fantastic! I would’ve liked the indoor movement to be a teeny bit faster and i also had a bug where a man jumped out of the house. But this is a great attempt, even it its unfinished!
I spent many hours fixing that issue. before each run, I was praying to God and wanting him to disappear that bug. That's a rare bug, don't know how that happened again. thank you for the feedback btw.
Damn it was good. it was so good. Dudes, don't let your game stay in unrated games! Play other games and rate them, so the LD site will show your game to others. It was the coolest games I've ever played in LD. I wanted more levels as I saw the "Thanks for playing" screen. This game is worthy of every award. keep working on it. And also, Add some screenshots to your game page. It's very effective.
The game looks so nice. it seems it must have an engaging storyline. The art was great, the music was good, and the gameplay was a little slow. for example after scene one, I was managing not to go so far from my house. cuz then I had to walk slowly back. I would have loved if the character could sprint or at least walk faster. But overall it was cool. wish your group success.
Smooth gameplay and good visuals. I would've liked to listen to a music much slower and relaxing. The controls weren't very predictable. so you won't be able to be the master in control. It was a little random. And also, when we die, we spawn in the sky and have to wait until we reach the ground to be able to control. After some levels, It got a little annoying. And overall was so fun and good. keep updating the game.
The visuals are so good but the game play could get a little boring after a while. The player would like to do more. for example, if we could mine rocks and gain resources to make a better a more powerful battery, or finding crates full of resources, it would feel more interesting than it is now. About the music, it was a little sad and didn't match the colorful environment of the game. Overall, it felt good to play. hope to see more action levels in the future.
luckily I had a friend for multiplayer to play with. We had so much fun. It even got better When we found shooting button. It also supported gamepad, and that was really amazing! We would have loved to use power-ups to take down each other. and also more platforming. But overall, it was cool. keep developing it.
Such a small cool concept. I really didn't think that it would be this innovative. it just needs more eye-catching visuals. I didn't really understand what to do after I was stuck!
This happens every time I run the LD42.jar! Am I running the wrong file? Error1.png Error2.png Or I am missing a software needed to run this? I'm sure I have all the java redists installed (Everything needed for Android port and running Minecraft).
@lintfordpickle
This is my java version as it shows.

Cool concept with minimal visuals. It everything matches. But it was enjoyable just for about two or three rounds. cool though.
The pigs look like walking bags full of pink stuff. :D Joking aside, it was a small little cool concept. Also, add more blood. :D
Nice game. the control was quite annoying.controling with arrow keys and interaction with Return key and SPACE?!! WOT? I think for the controls you should have set it to arrow keys and Z and X keys, or WASD and Space and E keys. Also, the character movement itself was a bit off. If you hold the left key and then the up key, the player would stop! I would have liked more if I could move diagonal. But it was fun. :D
Cool concept and cool puzzles. The puzzles, unlike other jam puzzle games I played, were not really easy and not even really hard. I liked that AHA moment in number like placed bookshelves. Nicely done :D
Good game but I'd like if the controls were easier to FIND. Quite enjoyed it. :D
The gameplay was a bit off. I think it needed more work as an entry. But the graphics look good and the music matches the mood perfectly.
The graphics look so cool and the color palette perfectly fits the mood. Nice job there!
I didn't really understand how to play! was it a multiplayer game?
The visuals are cool! it only lacks a music! Also, the F1 button opens the browser help center. You should change that. I didn't really like reloading the tab to play again :D
EDIT: I have an idea for the game. maybe if the corpses pile up and make land to move will make it more innovative!
I enjoyed playing it. The visuals were gorgeous and the audio matches the mood. That earth face was disgusting at the end :D I just think that the theme is not implemented well in the gameplay.
Actually, it got boring really fast. the visuals look cool but the gameplay is not engaging. throughout the game, I didn't really feel that I'm running out of space. maybe it should have been more difficul to make it more fun.
The idea is not that innovative! We've seen a lot of these games out there! But I wish at least you worked on your game! maybe adding a new mechanic or just ADDING MUSIC! It was quite boring!
I really liked the art style and the mood. At first, I was like, what should I do, but then I could not stop following the story. Nice and cill game!
Minimalistic but quite fun. I wish it wasn't mute. Music has an important role in setting the mood. Or at least sound effects! In my opinion, the game should feel better on mobile devices!
The game mechanics are a bit tedious. I've seen a lot of game mechanics like this. I think the main concept needs to be changed. but overall, it looks good. the graphics are eye-catching.
It was quite boring to play actually. The only positive thing I experienced about this game was the music. It needed more work I think.
Very good implemented and funny idea... it needs more polishing btw.
RUNNING FROM A GIANT WENDING MACHINE?! :D Funny concept but not enjoyable to play. maybe there should have been a goal in the game which I could not really find.
Nice visuals. It really caught my eye. Are you going to work on a post-jam version?
At first, I actually didn't understand the goal of the game. And the instruction wasn't that clear. that I started trying out every single button to find out how I should control the character (which I could not find at first.) The game rules were quite easy but badly implemented. for example, I don't think that it should be possible to deflect falling boxes by standing under them. or being able to fly out of the game boundaries (Which happened a lot.) I hope these get fixed in the future versions :D
I really REALLY liked the soundtrack! The gameplay was not that fun (With AI.) And I did not have anyone around to play with. The AI was a bit stupid. I liked if he could come to my place and leave landmines and make it hard for me as I do it to him.
@sciman101 Thanks :D Yeah, I can't beat it in the first try either, even if I've played it thousands of times for playtesting. But for the sake of replayability, I preferred the game to stay difficult and removed the check-points and reduced the chance of hearts popped out of enemy corpses. Btw you can ignore conversations with NPCs in case you're bored with that :D
@fullmontis Thanks :D The game itself is too short, at first I found it very easy to beat it up in under one minute. and it was a little boring to play. As I didn't have enough time to make it longer, instead I made it harder :D I know it was a bad choice but I'm sure it's more fun than before. For the moving, I agree... it's a little too slow :D
@kodiqi THANKS :) For the shadows I really wanted to create the feel of fearing to touch them, so I added that wobbly effect to them. but I haven't noticed what you've mentioned! It's probably a glitch... I increased the speed of the player and I ended up hitting darkness accidentally in every fight... so I guess it's better to move slow I GUESS :D
@wrenpirate Thank you :) No dude it was my fault. I should have put more instruction and kind of made them easier to notice... but ran out of time actually. For the lights, I should say that it's kind of a feature, that you should be careful about where you shoot the lights.
The posters look so amusing and the soundtrack matches the theme. A little tedious over time but no big deal :D EDIT: Also it's kind of hard to grab the posters. or see if there is empty space behind them.
I liked it. the first time I realized the water is coming up, I panicked :D It would be easier to read if the texts were bigger. I was playing it on the TV screen and I couldn't read the instructions. Also, I would have liked to play more if there was a music playing in the background.
Tha graphics are so cute :D Nice job there. But I think that you overworked on the visuals. The game lacks a good music, SFX, and gameplay engagement.
The idea did not have something new to offer but the voice acting was done very well and the story was engaging! Nice job there.
So fun to play. I really want to play the full game. The player movement is quite slow. and that wobbly movement is annoying. Also, I could get stuck under every single table and that's bad. I didn't have anyone around to play with but I know it should feel great to cooperate in this game. Nice job :D
Very pretty visuals. I really enjoyed. But it was so hard to wall jump and also got a little tedious over time. I liked to play more if the map was easier to navigate. Once I cross one wall it's kind of hard to come back to shoot other targets in that hole thingy.
Good concept but it was quite hard for me to play. It ended so fast and I was WHAT?!
Cool. music and mood were exciting. but I really liked if I could move faster. like not stopping at every tile to be able to move to another tile. Also, I really didn't understand the use of fish, diamond and other stuff on the screen... maybe if repairing tiles could cost us some of our silver or gold, it would make it more interesting to play.
I wonder why the rate of this game is so low! It's well polished and quite fun. I think you should be making a full game out of it and it would feel better to play on mobile devices.
It was good but not the game I would want to buy. it needs more polishing IN the concept!
Cool. I enjoyed it a lot. after it gets so messy, the sound stops but was not a big deal. I would have liked if there was more useful upgrades cuz I think all we need is space, the shoes were not that handy cuz after a while you can barely walk. Also, it got hard so fast... It was so satisfying at the start. to organize your stuff like putting red ones in one corner and so on.
WOW! I want the full game! Also, it was impossible sometimes to walk when those things start to grow! And I couldn't find the key to place the explosive. Just jumping and hoping that it will place automatically was my way to do it :D
It's not my kind of game that I would like to play. But it was funny.
It was good to play. But it needs more challenge. It was so easy to gain score (i would just get every single object that appeared on the water with a really small amount of caution) and also I could stand on the edge of the toilet and avoid losing forever. But I think you can polish the idea and make a great mobile game out of it. Good luck
Good game and new concept :D But it was kind of annoying that the weapons could fall out of the bag on themselves.
It was so much fun! NICE JOB!
I could actually stay in the water and did not die. I think you need to polish it more. But the graphics are good, DON'T CHANGE IT! :D
I think you can make a complete game from this idea. I really enjoyed it. Thos fast-paced levels were even cooler. Nice job there :D
I did not quite understand the goal here. But the look is good for a jam game but could be better.
The control was really annoying. Sorry, but I did not find anything interesting about this game. The music and the menu were not even about the gameplay! I could shoot even after I was dead! The zombies could hit me after their death! The concept was not unique and the gameplay was tedious!
Hey, I couldn't run the game. The astronaut in the picture above looks funny actually.
Fun game :D the concept was not new and it looks like you tried to use the theme in a pre-existing project. But it was fun to play.
@danial You're absolutely right. I think I just said it in the wrong way. What actually meant was that the concept was fun, but not new. In my opinion, it was a usual TD game with some features which don't really influence the experience.
That was fun but hard. It was impossible to control the ship at first. but I got better at it over time. The music was a bit loud causing me to totally mute the game. Also, the SFX was a bit repetitive.
I wish the game was taking place on an actual platform as it was shown in the cutscene. Sorry but I really did not enjoy playing it :(
Actually, I saw the screenshots and it caught my eye, but when I played it, I'm sorry but was quite disappointed! It needed more challenge! The graphics look cool and funny but the gameplay is terrible! Also, there is no mood set, maybe a cool music or just a sound for the clock to encourage the player to play faster as the time runs out!
Good concept... I would have liked if it was easier to move through other objects. but doesn't interfere the fun!
The game feels so DEAD! But I think that you can work more on this game and if you implement a mission system, it will feel better to play. Good luck!
THIS was happening a lot! Bug.png But overall it was fun to play. Just the driving could be better.
