Niceto have the different modes. I felt like some levels presented were impossible in the time limit so perhaps some kind of distance between fruits summed up check to get a beatable level every time? Then again that may have just been me being rubbish
Kept me on my toes and sadly I don't have good balance (aka I was rubbish.) I think they styling and graphics are well suited to this kind of casual seeming game, good job.
Clean and simple. I like the progress updates that flash up telling me how much people think my drawings are bad. Will probably visit again later.
I see all the flaws Larzan points out but what I also see is a game that fits the theme and is somewhat educational. The graphics are fun and with a bit of tidying up that could be a nice introduction to relativity.
Shame I played this alone as I can see it being very good fun in multiplayer. The handling or the player rectangle doesn't feel quite right and the even alone the experience felt laggy. However it has box2d, a good range of mini games for the weekends work, chat, it's certainly feature rich.
Both good and bad. The random handling really brought out the masochist in me until I finished it. See, both good and bad.
Oh and I forgot to mention, the highscores are not truthful based on the fact that movement speed varies each try. A skilled player might not get the chance to compete on their go of the level because the game has handicapped them. Secondly, the end portals hit zones feel too small. Yes I'm nitpicking.
Good fun! The mechanic plays well and is a nice twist. Duke needs more to his game and a whole franchise devoted to him.
Nice font. Got me counting and I did get better which is nice. Simple but sweet.
Controls like old GTA with the same flaws and it is repetitive but you know what, it's a solid game after 48 hours that used the theme well. I had a play through not touching any eggs which put a spin on it, shift sprint became required. Plus it has dinosaurs!
I believe I completed it... maybe. Told me to refresh my browser of all things. The voice is disturbing. The graphics good. Theme is present.
Great graphics. The little details like the reflection do matter.
Seems like a great idea but the second level slime at the start hates me. never stands right, base jumps just before the platform appears. Character and backgrounds are particularly standout for me. The last level slime you fixed the falling off but then the slime goes off to do its own things. If these could be ironed out this would be standout fantastic.
10 second Gauntlet is good by my books. Warrior is about to die... every 10 seconds. Lots of levels!
Hold ten thing and fuel last 10 seconds, passable for the theme but I had to really look. I destroyed the big flying base thing, no end to the game? The enemies are hard unless you creep to them and so they don't activate as people have said. Perhaps have the AI respond if they are fired upon as well as proximity? I liked it!
It controls nice. The level design and back to start however are not so forgivable haha.
I completed it so there was something there that kept me trying. Just one more go!
Realising how short 10 seconds is playing this. My only suggestion would be perhaps have a more rapid fire version that shows the category (lets say movie) for a second and then you have to draw.
I loved it. Played it on Kongrgate yesterday by random and knew I had to rate it here instantly. Great use of the theme!
The concept is solid for the theme and I liked it. Not quite a game since I couldn't die from what I could tell, let alone win. Ran fine for me but I switched tabs and on my return I had a whole army coming for me :D Punishing me for diverting my attention haha.
yup 404 :( but bag bride game works :)
Good funny game. Buga and crashes but when it works it's fun! Flying off to space with umbrellas or just seeing my own arm float back up past me. You should not have hid the blood option in the menu personally.
I cannot get that you won screen for love nor money on the web version even when he pulls his gun a split second after me. Just me?
@Kannas Phew, I saw the text was different but thought my sense of time after playing so many 10 second games was forever warped.
Great game, that warmup paid off! The shift key was annoying as I felt like I was holding it most of the time. Perhaps have shift mean walk slower? The wall jump was annoying in a good way but my gripe is with the long jump. Died way too much there and didn't get passed it sadly. The people demand more games from you!
Ever seen the uk show "the cube"? Feels like a game in that. Good fun and got me having another go on it :-)
Reminds me of games like chu chu rocket. If it wasn't so easy at the start I'd be happy but the last level made it worth it with its sudden jump in difficulty. Why does wolfram never give me tunes like these! Add a few more enemy types and redo the level design and you're onto a winner. The timer robots are cool.
I'm not convinced this is beatable but I had a few tries on the last game mode. Collision detection is wild but what do you expect when the vacuum is driving the person!
YES! Did it! Took some work but i got there. Very enjoyable little game and I feel the end was a good reward :)
Mavis Beacon has got a make over... of sorts. I really like the character and typing games aren't the devil. Lack of content to type is a shame.
By nearly ending stage 7 I realised I had that hooked feeling, one more go please. Really like this game! Was both pleased to beat it but sad there wasn't more.
One of my favourites i've played so far. Can't knock a CYOA!
You guys aimed high and didn't make it but I am intrigued by the story. Very spyhunter like. Would be great to see it finished with all the media done. The gameplay was a bit buggy and the shooting section was more memory of where the enemy was coming from rather than reaction. Then again spyhunter was just as punishing. Seems even if I aim very far away from the guy at the end, it always hits the head. Which is handy. The theme is very taked on if it is only at the end but perhaps that's more the fault of it not being finished.
I do this at least weekly out of politeness around my home so it's funny to see it in a game. Fairly forgiving gameplay and fun! I like the take on the theme.
Great controls and graphically lovely. Shame you didn't make the music you recommended but listening to it felt like a fit for the game so thanks for the suggestion. I too don't see the theme but would like to know where it is.
I did have fun as Alex Kidd in Doom with Daley Thompson Supertest levels of RSI.
Small bug note: After beating it and pausing my spacebar hammering to read I died. A bug on respawn occurred where the player spawns in a zombie and collisions ensue.
Main menu was a bit static, needed more life to it. Sweet little game and that was before I remembered there was a shop. Like the graphics, music suits, all very satisfying. Probably did shake too much, think it did my eyes in a little. Otherwise a great game with polish.
Fun concept but I can see it being hard to balance. I like the little guy's graphic :)
The art style is great, and while the music is great, it depends what mood you want to set. I can see it has been pointed out but really the no going back is fine but does need explaining. Fear of seeing what is coming? Needs backstory. I didn't see any power ups (playing web version.) Floor dirt kick up, the trees, all looks great.
I thought I was defending the planet from invaders ha. A small intro would have been handy but no biggie and the end was nice. Music made this planet destroying feel like a stroll in the park. Camera movement following the action was subtle and good
Instantly downloaded the source after playing. This plays great, graphics a little uninspired but fine, and the UI is a bit confusing just like the games in the 90's this feels like. But I'm nit picking, great work!
Cool music! I was rubbish at the game but still enjoyed it.
Nice game. There seems to be a few people that struck upon the scrolling through time mechanic for this theme. Yours is very well executed!
Found it easy but missed a couple of gems. I walked many planks in this game... I'll get my coat...
Good fun, although I find easy mode hard. Little detail like the pixel squishes as you pull back is nice.
Plays well and the graphics of the background are fantastic. Good work.
Shooting their hat off is both satisfying and annoying. Good fun game.
The game in essence is working out what is going on, so it is unclear. Once you have got it, it's not so bad apart from requiring patience. In my case that's particularly hard near the end.
I'll provide a hints link above.
I'm glad people found it relaxing, I've found it anything but.
Hey laserbeam, see the hints file linked above.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. It's all being taken on board. I'm working on putting out a post jam version with bugs squished and improvements made. I keep playing other LD games instead however :)
My hand hurts. Otherwise, that was good. The whole god things to do with you being Thor?
What's with the boot? with legs? The audio all around is great. Did you make the music and just run out of time to make the end of level tune? Cool little character
You reached: Stage 0. Great I died in the tutorial without a shot fired at me or me moving. just slap the z and c keys if you want to join my special hall of fame.
I enjoyed that even if I was rubbish. That time limit leaves my usual shmup play style of "let me survive, forget highscores" in the dust.
I'm a boss! The end has plumped up my ego even if there isnt much too it haha. The shared time mechanic like the film "in time" is well placed here and the spinning mechanic looks very good. I would want it so that when they need more than 1 hit perhaps some 2d physics and the spin flings them off a little? Would be much clearer. Good game.
I had no idea what the last song was and brute forced it haha but otherwise I really enjoyed it. Under the hood nice and simple js, only what was needed so you execution is good! Cool fun game.
Enjoyable. I was rubbish with the sword and I'm no match for a wizard enemy. Oh and bomb dropping got me killed a bunch. Still, good fun.
Nice tune and graphics. Shame it is so short with no new levels.
I like the idea, the gameplay execution is lacking but I suspect you know that. I like the little guys graphics and the start screen is cool
Decided to play the jam game, not the post one. Glad to see you have addressed the things I was going to bring up in the comments. Sweet game but only got half way and died at best. Run animation when loaded down with gold looks so perfect.
Cool ending and now I know about Incredibox! Clever spike animation for the collision detection I'm presuming but I see why you don't like them.
Not bad but I echo what others said about it not pushing the theme very far. Not bad at all. Wolfram tones for the music?
I win! Very much liked the art, took me a while to get the mechanics but once I had it was very enjoyable even to die knowing I had just got to that chest I was aiming for.
I loved it. I didn't bother reading so I thought it was only jumping that swung the sword which was fine by me. With other player it was a laugh. Spawning on things was a bit annoying however. Pretty cool little game. Also the world doesn't appear to loop which might be a good idea but I might be wrong on that.
Just completed it and thought that was fun. I like the panic after you grab the safe.
Great mood, the graphics are good and the music was alright. I think it needed more fleshing out but otherwise a good germ of a game. The whole rewind because of hitting a wall is a bit annoying for me. I have a decent machine and it managed to feel a little bogged down!
41 highscore is IMPOSSIBLE, for me at least. Fun game.
The wall climb/jump felt a little weird but worked well. Also the balancing of the game levels could be better. Some earlier ones are much harder than ones after them. Shame there was no ending. Spin jump was nice. I had fun.
Oh and cool time lapse! I wouldn't mind looking a that triangle collision test you came up with :)
I officially cannot multitask. I didn't look at the game title and started playing thinking "real original" but once that split screen came I was pleasantly surprised. Nice game!
Little astronaut is a fun graphic, to go with a fun game. Shame there was no ending.
I felt like a king until they over ran my stronghold :( entertaining!
I enjoyed it but no where near winning. 6 hours and you made a game with more depth than Curiosity on launch haha
Amazing fun. I was rubbish at it but after learning a bit of the movements of the enemies it all started to come together. Diagonal shoot I guess might break it a bit but it is a natural fit for this kind of game. Great work. One game I started I walked down and my girlfriend was there. First completion was also my easiest run though :) but you might want to change that happening
Reminds me of hotel mario but I wont hold that against you. It didn't twig at first but the theme is nicely used here.
Cool game :) Have the feeling I was just playing with the dev. for something so simple, with a few of us in there it was challenging and fun. Give FrozenCow a hug.
Reminds me of the Logo language I saw someone in school with (way back when) that had a "turtle" robot you commanded about. Nice game.
