An eraser as a weapon is a pretty good idea. I like the overall gameplay! Keep up that good work!
Awesome Graphics and a nice story :D. The mood is excelent although it's a short story.
Great work!
Graphics: top! Gameplay: challenging. Do I want to play this again with more levels? YEEES!!! Greetings from the "Diana Sisters" :D
Great graphics! Moody sound and a neat but challenging gameplay. Good score for this one. Great job! (Did I mentioned I like that pixel art? :D)
Such a great idea! I realy love your art style and the cuteness of your drawings. This is a great game!
Wow! First of all: Good job. :D I died a few times and wondered how to shoot those enemies until I finally realized the game mechanic. (I should have read the description first ;) ). Good concept and tough gameplay. Nice!
It took me a minute to get the idea :D but then it was fun for a while. Good job!
Absolutely beautifull!! Best game I've seen so far! This is the most innovative way to use plants since plants vs. zombies :D
I love your plant-grow-phisics. This is the first game where I will read the source code.
1 points minus on graphics (the graphics are funny but could use some polishing ;) )and 1 point minus on audio, because of no background music :P
Else: Perfect Job! Keep it up!
Pat
I have to commet this again :D
Please!!!! You've used unity to create this. Add about 20 levels more and put it into the app store. I promise you'll get 10k+ downloads! Remember tiny wings? Angry birds? That's the stuff! Sell additional levels for 1$ and you'll be happy!
Greetings!
Pat
I love this one! It reminds me of the good old street fighting games. Turtles on GameBoy etc. Awesome graphics and the sound is fantastic! "Storybased" gameplay and very creative heros and enemies. This is one of the coolest games in town. Levels are procedural, right? I love this one. I don't mind the small bugs, like the planet names do not appear after the first level.
Good job! (Like always ;))
Pat
This is more an esoteric kind of game. However, I like the graphic anf the mood of this game. Very well.
Awesome! Though' I may not give you full points in innovation ;). Great adaption! And in such a short time! I loove your shader!
Very good game :D Keeping the characters together was actually quite fun!
Space invaders 2.5d with more than one twist ;)
The graphics are competently done and the music is very good. It's a space abr killer by the way :)
God job!
Color set, sprites and pixel graphics, super! Audio is a 4 of 5 'cause I'd like to hear some 8-bit background music here :)
This is innovative, fun and it's difficult! It has all a flappy bird like game should have. Someone once told me: A good game can be played at any time regardless if you are on a coffee break or in a tram. This is such a game. It's challenging and fun and definitely worth rebuilding it for the app store.
Good job! Keep it up!
Pat
Gorgeous pixel art and an annoying sound :D.
Full score for the theme!
Very good concept. Why am I thinking of a 2048 where you have to accumulate flying 2s. 4s, 8s etc.? :D
No, really nice game and the graphics remind me of the good old monty python games.
I like it!
Great game! I failed @ level 1 about 5 times and made may way through the other levels at first try :D. Super cool stuff here!
Did you manual put together the levels? Good job!
A battle of wits? Nice idea!
Full score for the theme!
I love your random texts! (As you may have guessed by looking at my submission). I kept klicking on yay and won three times in a row, so I think it could take some strategical balancing. However, nice idea and worth 2 Points for graphics as well :)
Keep it up!
Pat
Amazing artwork and good gameplay. I like your JAVA attempt. I do work as a JAVA developer for my company and all I have to say is: JAVA can be your friend ... if it likes to be your friend ;)
Yes, the game is a bit repetitive but let's say this is a zen-like attempt to calm down the player from the anger of the real world :D
Good job!
Wow! This is one of the most professional entries of the LD32 that I've seen so far. I've read your tweets before and couldn't wait to play the game. What can I say? I took away some points from humor and mood but the rest is full score. Wow!
Funny game to play in a break.
No doubt why you haven't opt-out the theme category ;)
Hard as hell! But great! The next Tiny-flappy-wings-bird. Seriously! Upload it into the app-store, you will be suprised! (I can help you uploading it or make an app out of it if you like).
This is a humor and theme full scorer for me. However, I'm missing some background music to push up the sound and mood score but it is fun and overall a seriously good game!
Keep up that good work!
Pat
P.S.: If you don't know how many stars to give to my little toy: give 5 stars to every category and you will see a lot of funny yellow stars on your voting screen ;)
Nice video on Youtube by the way!
Awesome platform :D and gameplay! This is more LARP-like than online gaming. Very cool! Unconventional to the top!
Why are your former "yous" so angry? Nutrition issues? :D
Good game! Looks easy at a first glance but some parts of the map are hard to handle (that's good!).
Beautiful grahics! What did you use? Wacom, ArtRage? Great style! The music is moody and the game is way to short :)
Keep up that good work. I'd love to see a small adventure made by you!
Greetings!
Pat
Nice approach to the theme. The game mechanic is fun and it could use a bit more sound :)
But overall it was fun to play!
Keep it up!
Pat
C'mon! One or two levels more! Okay, the graphics are handdrawn and the gameplay is ... unconventional :) but I would have played at least 2 or 3 levels more. So: a small game but it has potential! Of course we could discuss the message behind the game but - hey! Look at GTA, what'S the message there? And how often is it selled?
Put in more levels, more enemies and you have an "Action-Puzzler" :) that can entertain you.
Short, but good job! Keep it up and maybe you canadd some more levels and twitter me a link.
Greetings!
Pat
That was fun ;)
How in the world did you came up with this idea?
Absolutely annoying music loop! (plus points for the mood :)
Reminds me of alan wake :D. The beat music supports the mood of the game. Very nice piece of work!
Enjoyable little game :D
If you change the resolution and add programm buttons ( like [F][B][Z] etc... ) it is quite easily turned into a smartphone playable game. Give it a try! I'm sure many people will play it.
Graphics are solid and the sound is retro. I wished it had some background music.
Fun game! Keep it up!
He didn't really grabbed his healthbar! XD
Nice puzzler! As pvwradtke said, it took some timme to figure out the right start.
I like the rope physics and the minimalistic graphic approach. I was always a fan of the rope-gun in the worms games and the way you use ropes is innovative in my eyes. A hard but good game! I'd like to hear some sound, maybe a moody background space music.
Good job! Keep it up!
Pat
Yepp, turn based games have their own mechanics :D I've learned that too a while ago. Anyways, the game works for me. Of course the sprites need some polishing and of course my first can of tuna also locked the game but I really love to see you guys working on another turn based next LD. Keep it up! Good job!
Very well done! Full points for the mood. Compared to other entries I give you 3 Theme points. I'd like to give you a 2 for graphics because the text colorization is great, but compared to my other votings it would be unfair to give more than one point for a game without an image :D. Innovation 1 because I've played alot of the "inkle writer" games and the gameplay is similar. Overall its a good 3.
I hope to see more of your work in augusts ludum. Maybe with a few pics and a moody background music ;)
See ya! and Greetings.
Pat
Thanks for voting my game! Yepp, the "A-team" problem is due to a very small pool of top texts. Shame on me ;)
First of all: great art style! The unconventional weapon here used to achieve a not less unconventional goal is really silly and fun. I like the background noises of the murmuring people. Is that you? :D Nice game!
Really immersive gameplay. Of course graphics could be more polished but given the LD time for the game creation. Good job!
Hey! First of all: nicely done! The title screen is promising and It took me 4 seconds to recognize that is was a dog from above I was moving in the game :D (Shoul have read the description fist ;))
Here is how I've choosen the score points:
Audio 3 because the music is sad (that's good!) but some more sound effects would have been nice.
Humor 1 because experiments with animals are simply not funny, so I guess you didn't expect a high humor rating ;)
Fun (in a sense of how much I enjoyed playing overall) 2 because it is not too easy to maneuver the dog through the obstacles but it's simply too short. One or two more levels would be great!
Theme 3 because - yes it's an unconventional weapon but compared to, let's say, AI-killer-dining-tables it's a 3 :D
Graphics 3 because: 1 would be no graphics at all, 5 is frostbite-engie or something like that. So gooaverage.
Mood 4: .. poor dog :(
Innovation 1: Because the gameplay is nothing I haven't seen before.
As I said, nicely done and keep up the good work!
Greetings!
Pat
Needs a bit tweaking! But the C64 style graphics are charming ;D.
The first full scorer of all my votings! Great job. I could play this forever! And I can imagine so many things you could build on top of this small but addicting gameplay. You sir are a genius! ;) Very well balanced game, top graphics and moody sound. Wow!
Nicely done! Reminds me of james bond: Oddjob :D
Background music would be cool!
Good job!
Pat
Well, that is definitely a fun game to play! Ninjas vs carrots ... Sounds like a concept ;)
I like the good old NES feeling and you have anest tileset there.
Keep it on!
Good concept! But as mentioned before: 6*5*4 = 120 possibilities are a bit overwhelming. Nevertheless, good game!
A nice interactive story!
Fantastic audio and confusing gameplay (actually this was fun :D ). The graphics need some polishing but platformers can be very time intensive to develop. So: Unconventional game! :D Game on!
Peacefull and beautifull zen-like gameplay! I really like your sprites style and the theme is superb. Thanks for this submission!
Very funny dungeon crawler :D
I cannot say anything better than pi_pi3 who started the comments. Its simply fun and worth a high score!
Man! This is difficult! I love it, 'though I didn't made it to end by now. Your pixel graphics are very professional. (Amazing helicopter and background!). Sound fits and I give it full fun points 'cause I can't stop trying to beat that game.
Good work!
I hope to see more of you in august!
Pat
Simple but efficient! Clap your hands for this game :D
Great idea! RESPECT to your creativity! 4/5
Arghh!!!! This game is great. I almost smashed my keyboard into my monitor, so full score on the mood :D. I find it very difficult to play but the idea is fantastic!
God Job!
Great art style and nice gameplay idea!
Music, graphics, sound and mood are very well combined here. Really nice pixel art! No doubt this is an unconventional weapon. I really like the simple approach and your message here.
As mentioned in the other comments, the code for jumping should be altered.
Good job! Keep it up!
Pat
In case of rating issues use my default: 5 points for everything :D. Thank you all for the comments. It's so much fun to read them. Please, keep on telling me what my trader has in stock for you!
@panurge ?!? I got "The worlds first stainless-steel-bladed artillery-chicken" for our little friend Justin?
@everyone Thank you all for your positive comments on my 2-hour-toy. Believe it or not, I really love to hear that you have fun using it since there's no better thing than making someone smile :D.
@badlydrawnrod, @benjih - Sorry ^^ I'll be faster next time. A friend moved into his new house and there were three birthday parties this weekend ;)
@spin-down - Thank you ;) Who knows? Maybe I AM an unconventional weapon designer? Do you think the media would report an incident with the worlds first chineese machinegun-rooster? ...
@WeaselZone - Me too :D
@Asado - Thank you so much :) I'd say, the fat kid will fall down quickly when the homing iron-soda can hits him on the run ;) I love my IGN score !!! :D
@daltostronic - Thanks!
@Junber - Yeah, like I mentioned in the comments it's more a toy than a game. I hope you had fun anyways.
@thaaks - Thank you! I'm pleased to hear that somebody used the weapon trader MULTIPLE times ;)
@rantt, @Teesquared - Thank you and good apetite!
@rodobodolfo - T'was a pleasure! ;)
@kivano, @ker0chan - Oh, did I mention that all of those weapons are corresponding to real weapons developed by the .|.aC#ebXCA.. agency? WTF?!? They found me!
@zakchaos - At your service :) You know that your name as a target yields "The worlds first thermo-nuclear gattling-octopus" right? Lucky guy!
@Ossi - Thank you for the compliment :) However, you do know what your nickname means in germany, right?
@CodeNMore, @Yamzho - THX! I only wished I've had more time to add more sentences.
@rzfmzn - You're welcome. I got a smile, too. Throwing cats at suicide jumpers! ;)
I hope you'll develope this further! The concept, graphics and sound are just great and the gameplay is addictive. Please finish this and send me a message :D
Neat little game. The sprites are cute and the sound is solid and moody. Reminds me of the old NES classics. Good job!
Very cool idea! Good job! I played that with a friend and it really worked out. It's fun to yell at each other ;) Good concept and good game for such a short development period!
L.O.L! The most gamy part of this game is the camera movement!
5 points for mood since I was shouting at my monitor and bashed my keyboard on the table because of this camera :D :D. That was so emotional... it actually was fun ^^. 5 points fun as well for this and because of the gameplay itself. I failed so often because I simply forgot to move my square or I pushed it over the edge.
The "Perma-death" approach is a huge win for the mood and the fun since it tackles my ego ;)
The simplicity of the graphic fits as well as the sounds.
Good job! Keep it up!
Pat
Nice game! And the music was ... :D
A well known concept in a new format. Well done! Who would have thought that this LD would bring us a politically critical game? Very nice drawing of the heads! 4/5
As mentioned before, the movement needs polishing. The graphics could use some refinement too, but you developed a good platformer here! Congratulations to your first game ever made! Nobody can tell you everything has to be perfect on the first run, so don't take the critic of the commets to hard, okay? We're all friends and we want to help each other by pointing out the goods and the not so goods :D. I liked that game and I could see the effort you put in there.
Keep making games! It's so much fun :D
I love the simple games! Plus: Of course they ate my pie before it was ready :D
Great job! 4/5
As someone said before: good concept but it's a bit slow!
That was a fun game to play :D. Really cute graphics here and I do like the whoop whoop sound when catching bubbles. I miss some background music here and maybe once in a while a boss enemy but nevertheless, good job! Simple but addictive gameplay!
Good game! But the tank moves super fast! (I klick w and he's out of the screen). But that couldn't stop me from playing. Not easy to directly hit that ants. Its a good game. If you could fix the super fast tank problem it would be a bit more fun ;)
Good job! Keep it up!
This is fun to play! I like your approach to use eggs instead of ... other things :) The gameplay is simple which is goood!! A bit of background music and it would have been a 5 point sound score.
Good job!
Pat
Gratulations to your first game! The game mechanics are morking, the tileset is nice and the music reminds me of mexican food ;) I like it! Good job and keep making and finishing games! This is just so much fun!
XD.
Astonishing art and concept! Sound fits and the mood is superb! I like the puzzly part in this game and I can only encourage you to make it an app upload it into the app store. This is gold! :D
Very cool game! The idea is great and it's fun to pierce through the body. Very interesting approach!
Nice little game but it needs a bit tweaking on the numbers and some polishing on the graphics. But nevertheless, a good LD submit! Good job!
This is fun to play :D Very creative game design. I also like the graphics. Reminds me of the C64 Mafia game. Good job! Bust a move!
That's what they call multi-tasking hum? Nice little game :D The background music fits fantastic and you have to love your little power-skater. Cute style. 4 Points overall! Thumps up!
Wow! Hard game! The pixel art is great. It took me some seconds to get that the corners are 2.5D :) so they shoot me down. But anyways, good and entertaining game. Great job!
If you had that idea at the beginning of the LD I bet this game would have some better graphics and some additional game modes. It's definitely worth an upgrade. Do you plan to keep working on it after the LD?
Great art style as mentioned before and a challenging game. The controls could use a bit of tuning but good job anyways!
Quite a good game! Did you do the sprites on your own? Using allergies as a weapon is definitely worth 5 points. Good job!
Very good concept! Its fun to play but I didn't found the esoteric race condition in time ;) Your sprites are pretty and I'd love to see you craft a Sim city clone! Good job!
One can see that you have quite a lively fantasy :D.
Good job with this game. Your art style is really cool and the gameplay is intuitive. Thank you for that game!
Some polishing on the graphics and the sound and my ninja career would last a bit longer ;) It totaly reminds me of the first super mario 1 boss fight. It just lacks the lava :D
Good job and good idea! Thumps up!
Trip to IKEo, hum? Shooting with your ribs and procedural levels? A moody melody and 8 bit sounds combined with strategical play? ... I absolutely love it! Excuse me now! I have to play your game ;)
P.s. a pointer to ribs around corners would be helpful!
Great gameplay! It really inspired me and I had the idea to some games while kicking the city into pieces. Good Job!
Nice code! I wished my usual JS-Code would look like this :D
I missed the instruction, that you have to eat the grass to vomit but I found it in the Sourcecode ;).
So, an unusual weapon indeed! How long did it took to pixel and code it?
Greetings!
