Very nice! I think this is quite a unique idea that utilizes the theme well. :)

Very nice! I think this is quite a unique idea that utilizes the theme well. :)
That audio is hilarious! Nice voice acting. Definitely quite difficult to go through though, but I enjoyed the graphics.
Amazing! Great atmosphere and storytelling. I really enjoyed going through this.
Nice pixel art style, but I definitely did have a hard time figuring out the controls and how to get the first radio tower constructed. It seems like I wasn't able to move vertically when holding space to grab it, for some reason.
Very cute art! I got stuck after I ran out of apples for the fourth 5th puzzle, I believe, but overall I had fun trying it out!
Cool game! It took me a while to figure out what all the skills did (and why they were named after diseases XD), but I got the hang of it! Couldn't beat the ork leader though, haha
Beautiful game! The graphics was great, and the gameplay made it very fun to zoom around!
I loved this! Very creative level design, and the birds are really cute! haha. There were a few parts where I got stuck with only a single bird on screen and unable to get the others to come back, but I think I got pretty far. :D
Loved the game! Just finished it. The concept was great, and the variety of sheeps to throw was a lot of fun to play with!
I thought that the final boss was a bit too easy compared to the others though, but other than that, I'd love to see more! :D
Fun game, but the movement and jumping is definitely not tuned for the platforming possibles. Overall though, it's enjoyable and the idea is neat!
Really cool drawing mechanic! Although it starts feeling more like a broom that you use to swat scribbles away at times, haha. And great artstyle!
Very cute game! I loved the art style and the concept. It'd be great to see it expanded more with some variety.
Just tried it out! I had a lot of fun with it. The graphics and the concept are great. It took a while to really understand how the game works and what the numbers meant, but I got the hang of it after a while!
(Also, you should probably put your game link properly under the "Downloads and Links" section!)
I got the same error as the comment above. The screenshots already make me really interested to try it out though.
haha, a great way to incorporate the theme! Was a lot of fun to play
I had a lot of fun playing, but I couldn't figure out how to get out of the cave. The art is great though. I did get the suicide ending, haha!
Just tried it out again. Was able to get all the endings this time around! Thanks for fixing it up.:)
Cool stuff! I got to Wave 7, had a fun time playing :)
Great art! The gameplay itself seems very minimal, but the atmosphere and style works very nicely with it.
12 days, 14 hours, 16 minutes. Most things went down the drain quickly, but spent the last 4-5 days just staying at the bar! Hilarious game.
Very fun to play! It definitely was a bit tricky at times to get the jumps right, but still quite a bit of fun
Hahaha, that was a fun credit scene. I hope you got your rest after that! It was a cool concept, though it definitely can do with some better levels and assets. Overall, it was fun to play :slight_smile:
I tried it out. It's a bit difficult to jump onto the platforms and get across to the different islands. It was a cool idea though!
I didn't mind the music, and I thought the sprites looked great! Congrats on your first Ludum Dare!
Nice disclaimer, haha. I enjoyed trying it out! The collisions into the wall felt a bit buggy, but I still had fun with the graphics and looking around!
Amazing game. Going through the rooms felt like it relied on a lot of luck, but that kept me on the edge of my seat as I had to choose between them! I was able to get to the exit on my third try! Great job!
I am also getting the two black squares on the screen. Graphics and sound effects are indeed cute, haha
"After 75 years, you finally wallowed away in misery" How unfortunate, haha. Great game! I wish there would be a few more options though. The art style was great.
Great game! Has very nice aesthetics and fits the theme nicely. I also agree that the pace of the game can be faster though.
Great game! It really does become tons of fun with the grappling hook, but it's still great working with the trampoline and trying to get the most out of a single one! haha
hahaha, that was fun just listening to it. It is quite difficult to understand how the combat works though.
That was fun! Was able to beat the "Tricky" difficulty on my first try, but it was quite intense towards the end. I really enjoyed the pixel art!
Very simple, yet it was lots of fun trying out the various combinations!
The itch.io link isn't working for me! I'd love to try the game out though, so please ping me when it's up
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare!
Very nice game! Simple gameplay and nice graphics. You should host it on itch io as an HTML project so that people can play it without downloading it :)
Cool idea and great models! Would love to see it fleshed out more in the future :)
Very cute! Congrats on your first game jam :)
Interesting design, but it is quite difficult to play with the camera movement and the clunky controls
Great art, music, and atmosphere! The gameplay itself is also fun, but the hitboxes are really unforgiging and makes it too difficult to proceed forward with the controls. A bit more tweaking could do good for it :)
Graphics was definitely nice!
Cool concept! It took me a while to figure out what all the interactive objects were used for, but it's nice when you've got the hang of it.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I do agree that the game can be tweaked and adjusted more. I initially wanted there to be more "weight" to commanding your Astra and for it to be used as minimal as possible, but I wasn't able to get the design down in time. Thus, a slowed attack mechanic with no good explanation as to why.
Sitting at the circle makes it easier to be surrounded, as well as less visibility! Not the best design, but I definitely wanted the player to try moving around a lot to try and "herd" the enemies more.

Let me know if anyone else is able to clear all 7 waves! :D
Yeah, I really wanted to put in audio as well. But I have no audio experience and was running out of time, so I had to decide to focus on other parts instead. Thank you for your comments :)
Thank you everyone for the lovely comments!
Thanks for the feedback Koala Squad!
While I agree that the slow shooting can definitely get annoying for some people, I don't think that just making it a free shooter is going to be the solution for it. I wanted the focus to be on movement and trying to use the least amount of shots necessary, but I know that I didn't fully execute it well enough. A run-and-gun shooter isn't the kind of design that I find enjoyable in the long run, and a slower pace shooter that makes you think before you shoot was what I wanted.
I do appreciate the comments though! With more time, I'd definitely love to address all the problems in the future (and I really wish I could've added music and sound). However for this game jam, I'm already happy with how it is.
Thank you everyone for the comments and feedback! It gave me a lot of insight for game design in the future. Sorry if I can't address each one of you all individually, haha.
@mrpiedpiper Congratulations on completing it!! That's amazing :D I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@bendev-games Yes, I also agree that the movement could be reworked a bit better. Moving faster diagonally was unintentional, so I definitely would pay more mind to it next time and try to keep the speed more consistent (and possibly even a sprint mechanic).
@jimbly Thank you! I used Blender to model and animate everything!
Very nice idea! I really liked the concept of it, but I do feel like it's a bit too slow in the beginning. I'd love to play a sped up version, since I really liked the whole idea of micro managing lots of members.
It was quite weird at first not knowing if I was progressing since the character took so long to talk, but that ending was quite the surprise! Nice graphics and idea, although it could use more gameplay overall. :) Congrats on your first jam!
Very fun game! Although it didn't quite fit the theme, it's a really fun and creative game on its own! :D
Haha, a game of hide and seek going terribly wrong. I liked the idea and concept, however it does feel quite tedious with such a large map to find 25 people.
Amazing game! I loved the idea, the art, and the levels. Really well done!! Can't wait to see it extended in the future!
"A Key Sacrifice" Great concept with a fitting name for it! It was a lot of fun, but got quite difficult really quickly for me.
I ended up trying out a few combinations and making most of my assistants sick, haha. I don't think there are enough clues to really help find the proper combinations, but the art is great and the idea is very interesting!
