Impressed with this game being made in a weekend. I like the mix of the bad guy with burglar stripes and medieval guards.

Impressed with this game being made in a weekend. I like the mix of the bad guy with burglar stripes and medieval guards.
It is difficult hahaha.
Not really sure what to do. Only button 3 works for me then guards defend the palace.
The only thing I didn't like was that I had to use the arrow keys with the mouse. On a laptop, so it was like playing left-handed. Nice background graphic. Good idea. I think I might have tried to kill my own guy in the beginning.
Pretty cool game! Loved the mechanics.
Not completely sure why the moustache loops or doesn't loop at times, but I see the potential
Cool game. It's like a collectible card game. Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like the hero defeated everything. No idea if losing was inevitable.
Tried to follow with readme and playing along. Wasn't really sure what to do at the fetid spider.Good writing, 5 stars for mood.
I like how everyone walks like they're having a stroke. Goat was funny too. Made me laugh. I think a meteor should be an instant kill though :P
Cool man. Didn't see picking up money having any effect. Other than that, was pretty fun. Should make a hyper fast mode.
Couldn't run the java in windows or mac.
OSX Lion and Windows 7 64.
Nice game. Took me awhile to figure out how to unload the first gift.
Pretty good, I can see it being fun with a lot of polish in controls and graphics.
Funny game. The kid at the top kind of looks like Ness from Earthbound.
Thanks for making a Mac game that installs easily. Managed to figure out the game without reading the instructions, pretty straight forward.
Nice game, works smoothly
Yeah, sorry about that. The only way to make the game slightly difficult was to force the player to get used to a sort of rhythm/intuition. The enemy just dies instantly when they're hit within a certain proximity of the player, so you have to get them close but they also knock you back so it's difficult. Can be more 10x more difficult on a Mac because of the physics not working right.
Nice one. Only thing I would change is making working parallel to something or make it its own mini game.
My nephew and I enjoyed this. He really liked the sound effects.
Awesome, re-read the instructions a few times before remembering I was the villain, hahaha.
Should let you know the Java open and closed right away on my Mac.
Nice
Game seemed to autorun in some directions. Tentacle thing would not retract all the way. Assuming it's not working, so going to hold on scoring.
Had fun! :)
Game was kind of hard to play for me, but really cool idea. Tried it out more than a few times.
I was laughing too uncontrollably to make sense of most of it.
I liked the Warcraft reference hahaha
It surprised me, but not in the way I expected. Reminds me of performance art. By the end, I totally got it. Great job. I'm tweeting this.
Awesome. I'm pretty sure I saw progress from this over the weekend.
Awesome work. Had to go through it a second time to pay attention.
Interesting idea. Cool take on a familiar game type. I've never played as chaotic space before.
Was funny. I kept saying my name was Kevin.
Cool, wish I could use hotkeys. :)
Loved it. Lots of fun
Can't run, says you require DATA or something alongside it.
Nice, are the levels random?
For some reason I can't extract the rars for windows or osx. I'll check back later.
Hahaha, I came back and tried the web version . Hilarious game. Was fun!
Nice work. Were the walls bouncy or just my imagination?
I love the art style.
Cool game. Damn those roof spikes.
Graphically reminds me of old Sierra games, but interaction has the flash feel to it.
Cool - I ran from the first battle...
Hahahah, died on the first one
It's a cool effect, but I wish the game didn't start paused. Took me awhile to figure out why it wasn't working. Also high score thing gets in the way when you keep dying/falling and want to restart.
Strange game. Not in a bad way.
Didn't work for me before, but kinda works now. (I see enemies and can fire) Still kinda clunky though. Wish I could see the other 70%
Interesting take on the concept.
I like it. Kind of like a echolocation game.
Nice work, but I DIED! Hahaha
Nice work. I'm really bad at this game, ahahah.
Good execution. I panicked hahaha
Got bugged and kept spawning two guys, who pushed each other in opposite directions before being able to touch the ball.
Cool game! I like the mood. Funny hobo! Wolves got me.
This was the most fun I've had so far, and it made me laugh when I figured out what that character was made of.
Great use of sound.
Right click opened the Unity menu :/ +1 for hamburgers
Good game. Original mechanic as far as I can tell.
I got stuck in an object with two crystals left. All I can say is I am now left with more questions than answers. Aliens must have did it. Aliens.
I tried this on my Oculus. The right camera is all white and washed out.
I tried this on my Oculus. The right camera is all white and washed out.
Edit - using a Mac
Cool. If you're using Unity. You could try changing the depth of both eyes to something higher (1 or 2), and disable any other cameras. Maybe there's a problem related to that. I would love to try this out.
This is really awesome and addictive.
Challenging. Nice work!
Cool. I'm no good at it, but the game is good.
Hahaha, I was so confused at first but then I figured it out. Pretty cool. I noticed that when putting it back on the belt, the wrapper doesn't move, but the potchocolato does.
I sought out your game because I saw your tweet. It was pretty hilarious. Does it always become a circle? Nice UI.
Kinda bugged for me a few times. Kept repeating the first thing I looked at multiple times. Don't know why. Seems like some kind of queue was registering presses a lot. But it was really cool with the sounds, screen effects and scary black thing running after you. Etc... Very effective.
Hey, it closes right away on my Mac...
MBP 17" Early 2011 - 2.3GHz Intel Core i7
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
I crashed 200 times. It's just like real life!
Red Player wins!! I think this game would be a really fun casual time waster if you had an AI working!
Distractions ELIMINATED!
Pretty good idea. I wish the mouse worked better though.
Good idea for a game
Are these shapes Unity-made primitives? Nice shader... I had some trouble moving the character it I think when facing the majority of objects. Maybe there's no distance culling + the effects?
It ends at loading then?
Can't get the link to work. I'll check back.
I think my game got bugged. After while I couldn't advance. Nice graphics, sounds. I recognized the tracks.
Good one!
Very simple, but more challenging than I thought it would be.
Very cool idea. Got stuck at the guy throwing projectiles, but I can see this kind of thing being very interesting, especially with spline shapes or vectors.
Link? I'll check later
Hahaha, I'm glad I came back and tried this. I flew a couch up to the giant table on the second floor. The sounds were funny
Is there more than one level? Not really sure how to advance.
I got as far as Wave 10 by holding space and the left key. score 448947 -- but I did not survive the 10th wave. Classic
Got stuck. Turned on Sticky Keys from the shifting, hahah
Hey I loved this game. I just wanted to say that. I had to review over 240 games before I found it amongst the rest. Nice job.
Was funny when the potato showed up. I think the game is supposed to close itself after the f**t?
Awesome, I loved that effect of the explosive. Hard! I got ambushed hahaha...
Square kept moving right for me. No idea
Hey this is really well made. Good music, great action. I can't tell if I beat the level or just died.
Difficult game. I was a little confused. I guess it was melee?
Very original idea for a game. I love it.
Too hard for me man, but AWESOME game nonetheless.
I had a bit of a spoiler from the first post. It's interesting and nice attention to detail that you put some outdoor decoration just to be seen from the crack between the ken house walls.
WHO HAS THE WILLPOWER TO TOP THE LEADERBOARD?
Cool, artsy
Apologies for the perspective/orthographic camera issues guys ~ it was intentional. I know, it sounds maniacal that I was laughing while I designed parts of the levels that looked like you could jump across to, but I hope death won't be taken too seriously in this game. As for controls, kinda the same deal, hahahaha... Thanks for the feedback!!
Once again, thanks for the feedback guys -- I'm working on a proper sequel and have taken out the orthographic camera, while tightening up the controls, A LOT.
The character also projects a shadow now, and there's a mini-map. Levels will be puzzle-oriented as opposed to itself being a disorienting puzzle, hahaha.
Sorry you had problems :/ -- I didn't even know there were keyboards that couldn't do all those keys at the same time. Is it a common problem? I just figured WASD+SHIFT+SPACE was standard. It's concerning to me as I still want my game playable with a keyboard. I suppose I could add Q or E for angular movement. I put up a post-jam link to the sequel with new controls and the original map included.
Nice, it's like motion graphics made into a game!
Awesome game. Mouse aiming was kinda hard on my laptop, but other than that, good stuff.
Pressed every button until I realized the right button to press. WHY DO WE FALL BRUCE!? **SPOILER** Hahaha, nice game. Although I'm not sure why I gameover sometimes (bar didn't run out and no bat hit me)
Cool concept... will we ever know what happens?!
Nice work. Very challenging
Nice work! I suggest you might need more random spawn points. If player two gets killed near its own spawn, it re-spawns there and is vulnerable again.
That was fun. I love the idea!
Funny game, nice graphics
Interesting idea for a game
Strangely satisfying. I had fun
Funny sounds
How does it determine whether I've lost or won?
Kinda figured out what was going on but I think it's too pro-tier for me. Good stuff!
Nice game + atmosphere. Wish there were more checkpoints. Art style is nice!
That was harder than I thought it'd be. Great game!
Cool, nice one
Cool idea OP, but it made me go crazy by the end!
Impossible
Very strange and interesting idea for a game. So many birds... wait they're circles. HUH?
Awesome work here! I like the way you handled the credits hahaha
I have mad respect for this as someone who has D&D'd a bit.
Nice art style!
Nice work!
Nice minigame. At one point bosses stopped spawning though? I like the music!
Played really smoothly. I enjoyed it a lot.
Awesome idea
Clicking black tile wouldn't move it. Oh well. Good stuff.
Nice work
Hilarious! Nice job guys!
Pretty much the same as others. Controls are not jiving with me, but the idea is good.
I like it. Would be nice to see fast forward on the simpler levels, or just less guys. Even though I let one guy get away on the second level, I figured it out when I saw their shirts.
Very awesome :) - I like everything about this game except that I'm bad at it!
Cool idea. Seems like we should have one more button!
Cool concept for a game. Nice mood.
Hahahah BEAUTIFUL! Highest rated game today?
Amazing concept. Loved it, great work!
Wish I had a second player to test. Always nice to see coop games though.
Cool game, I didn't realize until a bit later that the purple guys were responding to my WASD presses, hahaha.
Awesome game, I loved it!
Nice, got all the way through it. At first I was worried that it might be a screamer, but I wanted to know the whole story. Not sure I do. Also I'm not D**.
Very cool, challenging, but satisfying when achieved.
The main character looks like Spyro. I like this magnetism idea a lot and it was really well done.
Interesting game. I thought it was too easy at first. Then it got harder.
Awesome. Loved it.
This was fun and funny. One of the best I've played today
Creepy~
Really cool game. I like the whole atmosphere too.
Hey this was pretty funny, especially the part with the birds. I can't imagine if this happened to people in real life.
Cool, tricky!
Hey this is a great game. Very cool!
Simple. Fun. The UFO is a potato!
Good - straightforward. I like it.
I'm so bad at these blind sound-dependent games. I wish I was better at them. Good job.
Nice one. Hahaha, how do those trucks drive up and down those mountains?! Good work!
Very nice combination of sound and visuals .
Good music, very smooth controls. Very well done! The game is just right!
Loved it on OSX. Made me laugh when I annihilated my first hipster.
HAHAHAHA, I wasn't paying attention! Good stuff! Hahaha...
Made me laugh. I had serious DEJA VU while playing this game, as if I had a dream about playing it long before actually playing it.
Cool, hope to see more Rift entries!
I was lost at first but then I got it. Cool music and atmosphere.
Once again, a great game. You know your stuff!
Interesting.
Nice graphics. Couldn't get very far, but interesting mechanic.
Great
I like that on the web page you put up two screenshots of this.
Hahah, when I realized it was keeping count, I started to take it a little more seriously. Sweat on my brow. Great work!
Pants up? Hahaha
Strangely awesome in so many ways.
Good music
I thought the music sounded familiar hahaha, I managed to figure it out without reading the instructions. The clicking seems a bit restricted. Would have liked to click madly with some effect. That or the clicks weren't working.
I loved this.
The website version is covered by the website's sidebar, so if you're playing the game, it actually browses you away from it.
Very cool. It does remind me of older games, but the way they were portrayed in movies.
Great and simple! :[]
No idea what was going on, but what was going on appeared really nice and clean.
Nice, I wish I knew anything about making a multiplayer game.
I'm impressed. You managed to make a Rock-Paper-Scissors-like game work as an actual game I would play.
Trippy looking game. Got stuck in a platform after getting that thing at the top of the obelisk.
Holy crap, played this on my Oculus and it creeped me out a few times. Pretty cool and I really felt like sound was my strongest sense. Probably the highest score I gave any game on LD so far.
