Great game actually! Really fun to play but obviously needs sound effects and music (As you said) Also, the insults are pretty funny!

Great game actually! Really fun to play but obviously needs sound effects and music (As you said) Also, the insults are pretty funny!
Incredibly frustrating, yet a massive amount of fun. I am not good the the number pad so this was actually very good practice!
Extremely fun! It feels like such an adventure, and it's so weird the entire way through! It was challenging, but not impossible. It's great! (Also I played this on my birthday :D)
Really fun! I enjoy RTS games and this was great.
The lack of control feels a bit odd at first, but then I realized that to win, I needed to concentrate all on resources anyway.
Man, those are some smokin' hot jams.
This was okay. I was a bit confused in the beginning on what to do ( and still am to be honest ). However, I did find it extremely fun to see how fast I could go and dodge things. The graphics do their job, the audio is pretty smooth, and so are the controls. Not bad at all.
Honestly, it was kind of frustrating. I couldn't get past the second world and I played for like 20 minutes.
The controls were a bit off, for example: Double jumping only works sometimes? Or it works when you're next to something, but not moving horizontally? And the janky physics caused me to hit the water about 15 times (Thats no fun).
Overall I see a hell of a lot of potential here. At the moment however, I disliked it ):
This was pretty alright.
The first thing that I noticed was the music. Oh my god. The music, really fun to listen to, and it was obvious that there was some good time put into it.
The next thing I did was play the first and only level. I didn't realize that the game randomly generated itself until I refreshed the page. I was not able to complete the level because of how it had generated; maybe some sort indication or heads up? Also, some other mechanics or objects to let the player interact with could have made it more interesting as well. Although I know time and what not didn't really make it possible.
The interpretation of the theme is pretty cool and can have an interesting story further along. The graphics worked well except for some minor bad color choices ( they just didn't compliment each other).
That aside, this is a fun game idea and should be continued. Awesome Work.
We will be! I'm going to be posting any future updates to my youtube channel www.youtube.com/jdevelops897 (getting things set up right now)
Complaints noted. We will implementing an alternate control scheme and adding some visual reference to what is good and bad. Thanks for the feedback!
oh god, I know there was so much on paper we couldnt possibly jam into there.

Im really sorry about that, I wrote that down as a bug before hand. It was fixed but and working but its happening again? damn.
-sirmi
This was a very effective time waster.
At the start, its a bit confusing, however that gets surpassed almost immediately. After the initial learning curve, it just turns into a waiting game. I think this could benefit from some random events, different problems, upgrades and the sorts. I understand the limited time probably made it not likely to happen, but you should continue development because it is fun. Graphics could use some improvement, the blue green red didn't really mix well. Other than that, this was super fun. I think I spent a good 45 minutes on this.
This is top notch! The music is great, the stress of not having enough rescource, the INCREDIBLE graphics! Not to mention it's FUN!
What mrexcessive means is that the web link should go to a web version of the game, not a download.
Really interesting. A bit confusing at first but you're definitely able to figure it out, with some trial and error. and error. and error.
Fun game
The game is adorable, but not much to play.
There's a good idea here and it should be explored more.
Puzzles were pretty fun but basic controls were kinda stiff making it kind of awkward to maneuver them (although I'm sure your'e well aware of that). The no music was actually not that bad; sound effects would have made it better. Over all, this was more fun than anticipated. Neat!
Pretty alright. This was a really neat idea and the levels were really fun to play. Sounds and looks were adorable; more music would have been awesome too, but limited time I know (cant get everything in). However My only complaint is the use of lives. This game uses a lot of trial and error to figure out what works and what doesn't in levels. I'm not sure if you maybe added lives just to give the look of a longer game or if you just thought it'd work. Either way, the game is really fun and you should keep working on it!
Tough, but really fun. It does a great job of teaching the player with very little tutorial. You learn and use your new skills later and that is fun! Nice job on this one.
Very Very good game. It's interesting to try out different patterns of activity to try and make the deadline. Very hard to get right.
The music fits, the art is really nice, the game overall is quite nice. It also fits the theme perfectly :D
Pretty fun. The idea is very original and the game is solid. The platformer is kinda meh, but it all works, makes sense, and makes me laugh.
Hey, overall this was a pretty alright game!
the music was super catchy and I instantly loved it.
concept is pretty fun and I feel like it can go further.
Possibly some varied enemies or powerups for the player; Speed Dash, gun upgrade, etc.
Two things I did notice ( call it a nitpick but I thought Id add it anyway ) when the game restarts, the music doesnt stop playing but another is played over. and I personally think that the player should move a little slower with more humans on board.
I feel like this could be a really cool bullet-hell esq game, sweet!
It's okay. I think it'd be tough to understand if you didn't know MOBAs
I don't think you should've submitted this. It's TOO unfinished. There is no goal or way to achieve the goal. Kinda pointless /: What was there was pretty good though, the graphics and animations were really nice. I just with there was some gameplay
Background didn't loop for you? It is definitely supposed to.
oh, sounds. Yeah, sorry about that /:
Pretty fun! Actually, it would be a very cool mobile game! (If you do that, I'll definitely get it.) The sounds/sound is good, but alone it gets a bit annoying. The concept is great and fits the theme perfectly. Great work!
It says "There was a problem parsing the package." when I try to install it. I'll be sure to play if it gets fixed
Good Concept, Boringish Gameplay. Sorry mate.
I've got to say, this was a great concept!
Bubble Trouble? A pun? Im on board. The sound effects were great, I laughed a lot and it was awesome. Cute simple style as well and it fit the mood and music.
Jumping was finicky. when jumping against a rigid object, like the wall, it felt stiff. It broke, er popped, the illusion I was a graceful bubble. The difficulty level was also extremely steep. Not that it being difficult was bad, but maybe one or two more levels in between to lead up.
All in all, its a delight to play, just needs more work. And please do work on it more, I love puzzle games.
Cool concept! but I think it's missing something
The graphics were quite nice and made for a satisfying crushing of the mole people. The flickering of the lights and the hamster wheel were a nice touch, but it got grating after a bit.
I feel that the gameplay is missing something, because it often doesn't feel like there's that big of a challenge. Granted, it is super fun to crush people (morbid of me to say but whatever, it's fun). I often found myself waiting eagerly and clapping my hydraulic metals hands with excitement at the growing stack of people. Thennnn, smush.
It is a fun idea, do more with it though!

I can not play? D:
Great mood and adorable art.
It all tied together nicely and the vending machines were a funny touch as well.
I do wish however, that I could make tighter turns so I could juke some zombies.
I love the idea of a fire hydrant every ten feet, its awesome lol, but really, its a fun game even though its small.
Spraying the hose and hitting zombies was very, very satisfying, and so was the hose animation. The simple mechanic of having to wait a moment to attach to the hydrant also made for some scary moments; several times, because I didn't attach all the way (frantic running ensued). It also made for additional satisfaction attaching to a hydrant and completely obliterating the closing horde. I kind of and kind of don't wish I could point the hose down and up, it added difficulty but... bah I don't know.
I did, however get a game crashing bug, and I was able to reproduce it. The error occurs when you are attached to a hydrant and hold S to spray and try to detach using A at the same time.
Nevertheless, cool idea, and satisfying execution. MAKE MORE!
Fun idea with great mood.
The graphics are neat and the mood is perfectly set. I really enjoyed floating around gathering the treasures. I do wish the controls were a little more floaty, but thats just me.
Youve addressed the random generator problem and its not cumbersome to restart so thats good.
Its a neat idea; I hope you guys continue it.

This is one of the more polished games I've played. It felt like a full release of a fun little puzzle platformer. I enjoyed it. Good Work!
Fucking satisfying game
I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed the art (crisp and adorable). The music fit well, never grating and the gameplay was good although limited.
I found it a little odd that nothing happened to me when going to N3 grt but no big deal (unfinished level I suppose?) One complaint I have , if you really want to call it that, is that I find the items a bit useless because punching us SO FUN ( COMBOS).
Overall, great idea and design!
-Sirmi: Team Toast
super fun game!
The art is great and the music fits well with the robots movements and of Becky's jumping on bubbles. Blowing bubbles is satisfying although jumping from the wall could be worked on.
One tiny bug that I was able to replicate happened when I blew a small bubble and jumped up before it was blown. It caused the bubble to splat inside the wall. I just had to redo the way I jumped and blew.
funny concept and it works well!
-Sirmi: Team Toast
Well holy shit, I must say
Great music, art, and gameplay. It all ties together really well: The fast paced music really sets the mood and urgency (mainly to beat your time).
overall, sweet.
Just a fun little beat 'em up game. Dodging back felt great and timing punches at the beginning took a bit of practice (Which I liked). Only problem is the guns are too hard to get. They always fall into more enemies making it impossible to get. It was still fun and it looked nice. Good Work!
Absolutely excellent. Fun, unique, good looking, this game has it all. Well polished as well. Nice work!
Without objective it obviously lacks a bit on the fun side of things, but this game is so BEAUTIFUL. Flying through and looking at everything glowing and moving is so cool. It's got a nice chilled out atmosphere and I enjoyed it. Good work!
Really really polished. The graphics and sounds in this game were so beautiful. My only issue was that the gameplay was not very intuitive (though maybe I'm just stupid). It was hard to learn how to fight every enemy and when you die, you go back to the start.
Cool concept!
The art and music go really well together and create a good mood. I liked the intro, a simple explanation, it was paced well. I, and I'm sure so do you, just wish there were more levels. I hope you continue it, I want to rack my brain and solve some puzzles!
-sirmi: Team Toast
Yes! Fun game with catchy music!
Not much to be said about the graphics, simple but still appealing. The music is great too; soft and never grating. The gameplay was pretty fun as well. I found myself scrambling to type the words only to find that my choices were wrong (mainly because I forgot the opponent changed lol).
I couldn't find any bugs, that's always a plus!
Sweet work! (what am I saying, I love all your work).
-Sirmi: Team Toast
@Drauthius Sorry! Double tap space a second time to double jump. The instructions on the front of the screen were hastily made and that's my bad.
As for the boot, I agree. I think it'd be better if you could either infinite kick with the current rate or make the area bigger. Thank you!
-Sirmi
It's a great idea but theres a few issues that need to be worked out.
Let me start off by saying, I really adore the art style; its very storybook esq. It really suits the space theme,I think. It goes well to set the mood along with the music. Also the varying speeds of the sprites in the background was neat too.
The idea is simple and its awesome! Just change the direction of the lasers? Thats great! I must say though, I really struggled to beat that second part, it got pretty insane at moments. In the end I actually found myself hugging the walls and flying from left to right ( up and down? , whatever) in a blaze of lasers, blasers if you will, eliminating the enemies, and most of the time myself in the process.
Difficulty isn't bad in a game like this, but its becomes a bit laborious when it replays the beginning level dialogue (which by the way is pretty cool too). Its a trial and error game, and it takes a bit to get the hang of the controls. I did like flying around before the enemies came though.
On a sidenote, the enemy bloops are a bit hard to see against the dark purple (just a lighter shade of red?) and I also got a weird glitch when playing the game immediately after beating it. Everything was slowed immensely.
Overall, I enjoyed the game. It has its errors, Im sure you of all people know that, but its a really cool idea and you should continue it!
-Sirmi: Team Toast
The Game is a bit wonky, but still fun. Hard to know what to do, and annoying to restart the game every death.
Super spooky! I love/hate the feeling of not being able to see the baddies. So much fear and suspense in the moment of opening your eyes. Way to capture that! Good Work!
The idea for this game is pretty great, but most of the time in the game, it's just frustrating. I still had fun with this one and I enjoyed a lot of the dialog. Good work!
Cool Idea, it has its issues though.
I enjoyed the graphics and the music made it calming and I fit well because I found it a bit frustrating jamming those suspects into the room.
I also didn't find the sliding that bad. I thought it was fun to slide around, but I think the room should be larger to allow for that.
Still cool, you should do more with it.
I must say, shame on me for judging by the cover.
Now, I thought itd be interesting but I didnt think itd be this fun.
The graphics are charming, the levels are charming, and so is the idea. Its just really clever and enjoyable.
make more levels please!
This game has so much potential. I liked the darkness and the feeling that you were creeping around trying not to get caught. The hacking mechanics were not bad once you learn what to do. (I also love the little detail of LD32 on the backs of the monitors :D )
Here are some problems with the game: First of all, it's not overly clear which computers you are supposed to hack. At least for me, only the first one was lit up blue, the others were either too subtle, or not lit up at all. Also if you get caught while mid-hack there is no way to escape or hide. Another problem is the hacking. When I first tried it, I didn't quite understand that the letters I typed went in the center. I thought they were more letters for me to type therefore I messed it up (I'm pretty dumb, yes). Maybe some indicator that your typed letters are there would be nice. Something else minor I noticed is that when ' comes up as a letter to type, I always thought it was a comma. The final problem (which you likely already know) is sound. The game is completely devoid of sound which almost kills the atmosphere. When the footsteps come in, they were unfitting and made me jump from the sudden volume.
Not a bad first entry. Congrats! Hope to see more from you guys in the future! (also, is programmist a word?)
Well cool. I'd like to see a post jam polished up version if you ever make one!
Unique idea. Game is clever and fun to play. Nice work. The only issue is how fast the difficulty scales up. Restarting the third or fourth level multiple times is a bit frustrating because it feels like you are unprepared. Maybe with a bit of practice I'll be better :P
Excellent fun. Pure, nonsensical fun.
This is a pretty fun game!
The idea is really funny and the gameplay is pretty fun too!
However the music doesn't loop which kinda sucks because I really liked the intensity of it. Also, I often found myself stranded trying to reach an impossible area... irony maybe?
Anyway, cool entry!
-Sirmi: Team Toast
Hilarious and CRAZY fun. This game is so awesome. Very addicting too. I don't really know if I have any serious issues with this game. It was mostly perfect! Excellent work!
Only fun for a short time, but it's a really funny concept and I enjoyed it for the time I played it.
It's just a fun, challenging, platformer. At first the challenge is a bit frustrating, but when I got used to it I had a lot of fun. The controls being very slightly slidy adds to the challenge as well. Overall very nice job! Super polished!
I loved playing this game. It was fun trying to communicate and not knowing a word, but then finding the word later and being able to understand. The graphics were cute, the speaking was funny, the game world was really fun and creative. GG
At first I thought the title was a Shrek thing and I was a bit apprehensive to play. I ended up playing it anyway, and man was I surprised. this game is great! Pure destruction and wreckage of those filthy peasants! The building destruction combos are really fun, and the upgrades are interesting to play with. The little screams of the people make me laugh as well. Very good game nice work!
@lurumdurum I still haven't caught what causes that spike glitch. It's pretty strange. I agree we should've worked on something smaller.
@Flaid, massive thanks for all the time you put into that review. Getting stuck can be resolved by using the map and leaving the room (sorry about that). The logic of the house is obviously flawed, but it's all in good fun.
The concept of playing as a demon in plain sight is fun. The idea of stealthily teleporting in and stealing souls was fun, but actually doing it wasn't as hard as it could've been. The teleport makes the people running to the alarm useless. You can just teleport and steal their soul. And about that, stealing souls was a bit frustrating for me because it just didn't work sometimes (I think you have to be right on top of them?) But yeah, It wasn't bad, I had fun playing it and killing everyone :D
Honestly not great. The title is very funny and the fact that is was the first game uploaded, but the actual game is just meh. Controlling both the monster and the man is an interesting idea though!
This game manages to create a really creepy atmosphere with pixely 2D graphics, and I love it. The sounds and the visuals are all very good at immersing you into this little child's mind on a dark night. The ending was creepy, but also sad. I enjoyed it very much, Nice job!
This game. This game is awesome. Playing it is super fun. Destruction is amazing. Seeing the peoples names is super funny. The difficulty ramp up makes sense and makes it fun. And then... The end. You die and get to see the result of your rampage, and you FEEL like a monster. So good. Very nice job!
I had fun with this. The first time I opened it, it was broken (uncapped FPS), but once it worked, I really enjoyed it. You try to get through quickly but still be stealthy and avoid getting caught. The patterns of the guards are perfect to catch you off guard, and them running at you is pretty terrifying. Nice work!
This was so cool. The aesthetic is really cool (and you can change it) and the game is super difficult. You have to deal with not being able to survive more than one shot, and you can't really avoid the shots. It was really fun and very polished!
This game is awesome! It's an epic feeling to be flying over destroying everything with the beautiful sunset in the background. The dragons movement feels heavy and majestic, which really fit the game. You made a "Destroy and Kill" game but also a "Landscape with a majestic beast" game. Excellent work!
