The art was really nice, but the controls were slow. I really liked the idea, and the sound.
This game is fun. I especially enjoyed getting up to high speeds and the switching between energy levels.
This was a very promising game. I really liked the art, especially the loading screen and characters. The second level had a great atmosphere. It lacked a little in gameplay, but I still enjoyed it. The awesome music helped a lot!
Wow, this is a beautiful game! It feels clean and polished. It's a creative concept and very well done.
Good concept, but I got stuck fairly early. I enjoyed the simplistic gameplay.
Wow, this is a really fantastic entry! I love your interpretation of the theme and the graphic style. Great replayability too.
This was a really good concept, and it looks great. I wish the player were a little bit faster. Either way, good work!
This was a really cool game. It got a little hard, but I managed to escape. The graphics were really nice, and the game handled well. Great job.
I love the style of the graphics! The platforms seemed to move faster than the player. Interesting take on the theme by losing weapons.
It's a pretty and funny game. Awesome picnic!
I really love this entry. Beautiful graphics and visual effects. They work with the game mechanics perfectly. The story readings added a lot to the mood. Great game full of moonshine!
This was a fun but challenging tower defense game. It was fun trying to aim the beams. The graphics had a lot of character. Nice work.
This game is cool, I enjoyed it. That potato may have been expensive but it was worth it.
This was a very fun game. I didn't think I was going to get past that ice level! Good work!
This is an interesting game. Didn't have too much trouble figuring out what to do. It's very clean and simple. Well done.
An interesting concept and good use of the theme. The controls were a bit hard to use, but not too much trouble. Good work.
Very mysterious feeling. I really enjoyed the story, good job!
Very interesting concept, I like it. Hard to get the controls though.
Interesting mechanics and idea. I like how it looks when absorbing life material.
It's short, but funny and so true. Good work!
This game had a great mood and atmosphere. The music was dark, but calm. The theme was well represented here, this game is so minimalist that the main character doesn't have arms! Good job.
Interesting concept. I enjoyed running around the world, and being called a potato for falling off! A little confusing, but I had fun once I got the hang of it.
Nice tower defense, I got to a point where I don't think any enemy wave could get to the tower.
Interesting concept. It was difficult to control the eraser.
Interesting concept and clean graphics!
Fast paced and kept making me want to try again!
I like the concept. The player turns a little slow. Well done overall.
I like the graphics and the idea of climbing out from being buried by the gods. A lot of urgency there. I tried many times but it always became impossible. Cool concept!
Cool idea and fun gameplay. The controls were difficult to use.
That was a detailed story adventure, it was nice having the voice readings.
This game had a wonderful ambiance. I never found the key, but had a lot of fun exploring the immersive world.
Rocket ship was cool
This was a really fun painting simulator. I found it hard to match the resemblance in the game portion, but enjoyed painting.
The level titles and diary entries were a funny touch. I had trouble picking up the screwdrivers sometimes. Nice ending, I'm happy for the robot!
This game is hilarious and fun! I like the bright graphics. It really fits the theme too.
I like the graphics and effects! The idea of blending in with the area is cool.
Really cute game, I love the sketchbook style graphics. The eraser puzzles were clever too.
@matter123 Are you using the arrow keys to move? Try using the mouse walk icon instead.
Thanks for the comments everyone, dactylopus and myself really appreciate the feedback!
This was a simple but fun adventure game.
I love this game so much! It's awesome! Great concept and execution, it's fun.
This game was fantastic. I really enjoyed the art and the wonderful animations (even if the jump is a little slow). Great job on the story, as well.
This is the most fun I've ever had looking for my keys. I liked the style.
Once I got used to the controls, it was fun and interesting. I enjoyed it.
I liked the story elements and getting to travel to different locations. It would be nice to see some indicator for how charged the rod is. Nice use of a riddle. Cool adventure!
I really liked your take on the theme. I found it difficult to gain popularity.
It's a fun game and I like the style. Very glad there were checkpoints.
The audio is excellent! Funny and interesting gameplay.
Great concept. Some of the levels were a bit difficult, I'm glad the skip level button was there. Controls were a little hard, but it was a lot of fun.
The idea is fantastic. I really liked the graphics. Those animals can be tough!
Funny game! So glad I saved Comic Sans
It's a chaotic and a fun take on the theme. Potato!
Really interesting concept and gameplay.
At first, I wasn't sure what to do. But then I saw another shadow moth. A fun, simple game. Well done.
It fits the theme well. I did get stuck on the walls sometimes. Overall it's a nice game.
I like the graphics and what an interesting setting and character. At first I thought it would be cool if the people started settling in other areas, then they did. Loved that!
I like the dynamic use of the two characters. I kept running into walls in tunnels because the collisions were exact to the player. Good job making an interesting co-op!
A simple, yet challenging physics-based puzzle game. The controls were a little difficult to work with, but once I got used to it, I really enjoyed myself. Well done.
I love the boss, the story was cool too. The handling was a little slow, but got better with the upgrades.
Creative game, and I like the way it looks.
This was a fun game. Aside from problems lining up the fireballs, I really enjoyed playing. Charging up the mana was an interesting concept.
Interesting game. It took me a bit to figure it out, but it was quite fun! The mood was great!
Innovative concept and use of the theme. I really enjoyed the puzzles, great game.
Tetris vampire characters, I like it! Enemies could have been more challenging. I enjoyed the pictures made out of background blocks I saw sometimes. Cool idea.
Awesome chomping monster thing, and the effects are fun. I like the idea of using color patterns to progress. It could be expanded on I think with more challenges. Good game!
Clever puzzle ideas!
A short, simple game. I really enjoyed the style of the art and music. Good work.
I really liked this game. It's an innovative use of Adventure Game Studio, I was expecting a typical point & click. The story was really nice. I would like to see space, too.
It's so cute! It was a lot of fun to play, I love the hubu.
Very polished puzzle game! Seriously challenging for my brain.
It got difficult but it was fun. Nice graphic effects.
This game is fun. The puzzles are clever and they gradually get more difficult. It feels polished, well done!
This is a great Metroid game. I really liked the way you interpreted the theme. The gameplay was pretty smooth, and the graphics were very nice.
Cool idea. The controls were really difficult to use. I liked the animations and atmosphere in this game.
Fast paced and fits the theme well. It's also really difficult. Nice space potato
The 2d/3d perspective was cool to see, great job on that
Fun game! It's pretty difficult too. It's cool that the auto-fire and changing powerups make you think about positioning the ship differently. Nice music.
I liked figuring it out. Maybe there could be 2-square pieces to start to make it easier at first. Cool idea!
Awesome, thanks for that experience
This game is just so adorable and awesome! More levels would be great. I love the art, music, and gameplay.
Great adventure, I like the graphics and music a lot. Didn't use the shield though, it seemed like the best strategy was swing the sword like crazy. I played as both characters too which was difficult but fun.
The characters you created are lovable. Every level was interesting. The graphics and audio are wonderful too, great game!
This game is so cute and clever. Love the art, sound, and gameplay. Fantastic!
Strange and funny style. I had trouble finding the end, but it was fun running around flattening enemies and shooting stuff for a while
The staff and other graphics are very nice and the music is good. More enemies would make it more exciting. I liked the dark scary dungeon mood and the use of theme once I figured it out.
It's so sad but really well made. Great style!
I like the idea of going back in time when hit. It can be good or bad to get hit depending on where you were in the level 10 seconds ago.
Cool music and graphics. Would be nice if there was a score for how many pizzas I delivered before failing. It's a fun game
Nice graphics and the setting is awesome. I had to play against myself but that was actually fun
Awesome graphics and audio make it feel dark and moody, very cool idea.
Cool idea for the theme! Died many times but it was a good challenge
Cool idea, I like the complexity. It was hard to escape the enemies. When I died, I tried to click restart but had to reload to restart. Nice opening scene and use of theme in the story
Awesome game! It took me a while to make a rocket that got to success, and that was with no weights. It was a lot of fun
I like the character choices. The computer seems impossible to beat in the original version, but much easier in the post-compo version. Cool idea
Cute graphics and great music. The hints at the bottom were helpful and amusing. Would be nice if the player moved a little faster. Fun and funny adventure!
Pretty environment and colors. All the people with their messages along with the music was ominous. I had fun flinging blocks around with the flamethrower too.
I like the setting a lot! It's so difficult, but it is fun
Funny concept! I like the mechanics changing between space and land, that made the gameplay very interesting. The graphics are good and the space background is pretty.
Great idea for the mechanics. Nice music and graphics too. I think it would help to see how many bubbles the dad has when pumping air.
Very contemplative mood. The graphics and gameplay make you think about the messages and your existence. It was challenging not to type punctuation because it's second nature.
Thanks for the feedback, Nerlin! I agree, I need to work on how to give more hints and feedback to the player. 10 seconds should be plenty for some levels and just enough for others, but maybe a little too close.
lordjosephdeburg you need to move the rock to the right on the other side of the pond. The idea is that it blocks the wind from making the water ripples.
Thanks for all the comments! I have created a post-compo version of the game which adds extra hints, increases player and object speeds, switches the first level with an easier one, and some graphic changes. Try it out if you'd like, it is more user friendly.
hogjed, I certainly see what you mean about it not hitting the marks properly. It was supposed to be like dreams that require some interpretation, or a recurring dream that you do differently each time and finally "solve". The titles were hints but ultimately too vague to help as much as I thought.
I understand that the gameplay isn't abstract in that there is a definite solution to the puzzle. It was supposed to be abstract in that you have to think about what you are seeing in a somewhat abstract way to solve the puzzle. For example, you see closed flowers and a moon, and the level is titled "Bloom". You might first think to click on the flowers to make them bloom or try moving the moon to touch the flowers, but you in fact have to raise the moon because the flowers bloom at the moon's rise. In the post-compo version that level's title has been changed to "Moonrise" with the added hint below of "Shine light on the flowers." I wonder if this makes it easier to play but takes away some of the abstract thinking and interpretation you had to do before.
Thank you all for taking the time to provide feedback as it helps me to understand what the game feels like from an outside perspective.
Thanks for the comments! I really appreciate it.
I've updated the post-compo version to include easier object movement and a hint button.
Jedi, thank you for your detailed feedback. I added a glow to the pillars so that the color isn't as important now. I think you're right about the hints being too obvious sometimes, so I moved the hints to a hint button that you can press if you're wondering what to do. With the updated controls, you should now be able to simply drag the moon to the sun in the eclipse level.
Great idea! I'm not very good at it, though. It's a cute story and cool that the music is different every time.
It's action packed and much fun to blast through! Cool game
Funny idea! I liked the switching between worlds which also switches between offense and defense.
The story is sad but sweet. Great mood and everything worked well together.
Immensely fun and satisfying, love it!
I like the voice acting telling the story, especially that it plays while I can walk around. There's a lot of exploring which is good and more stuff to do in a post-compo would be great.
The procedural generation is cool, good job on that! It's fun to explore even if difficult to survive for long. It looks nice too.
Simple and works well. Cool that you put in weapon choices. It's important not to waste shots because of the reload time. Nice shooter!
I liked it, good use of theme. The ticking made it feel more hectic. Good work especially for 3 hours
Cool idea! Glad you included the speed up button, it was helpful sometimes. The first few levels were maybe too easy, but it got much more interesting.
I like the art style and the end scene was nice.
The graphics are awesome and music fits so well. It has a dark watery mood. Love it
This game and the graphics are really cute! The tutorial is funny and it's fun to play.
Awesome idea, really well done. I like that it started very simple and got quite a bit more complex.
Beautiful graphics and music. The season/element changing is especially cool!
I like the stat system, it was cool to be able to try different strategies each time. It gets pretty crazy. Fun game!
Great use of theme!
Cute setup. It's simple and fun, I played several times!
The graphics are pretty. Good challenges too
Cool idea and story, I like what gameplay there is. Glad to hear you plan on developing it further
Great idea for the theme. Once I understood the strategy, I made it to 103 before I stopped because it seemed like nothing new was going to happen. Very polished game
This game is intense... the footsteps made me panic. Found 3 endings so far. Great work
This is a very unique take on the theme which is cool. The gameplay, art, and sound are relaxing.
This game is simple and fun! The music added to the intensity, and loved the congratulations music.
I love it. It feels very familiar.
Love the graphics and animations! The gameplay is challenging and fun.
Great music and funny story. Interesting mechanics, the slowed lasers were especially challenging.
So polished! I feel anxious and like I want to laugh at the same time. Excellent game
Wow, this is a very interesting strategic game. After a bit of learning the mechanics, it had me puzzling over it for a while
I like the different weapons switching and the crates making the level change. Fun game!
There is a done screen when you finish the lawn, and a funny game after. Figuring out how to drive the lawnmower was funny too. Glad you submitted it even if it was late!
Wonderful idea, voice acting, and art. It made me laugh too
This is one of the strangest and funniest games I've played. The woman goes through all that and doesn't get a happy ending?? Liked the messages at the end of levels
It really creates a moody atmosphere. I love the graphics
Pretty graphics and crazy gameplay! Good music too.
Nice pixel graphics and platforming. It's hard but not impossible. I like the dark atmosphere too
Great way to implement the theme with gameplay and the story. The end was funny. I had a lot of fun playing
Particularly liked the unusual player selection, funny enemies, and skill levelling. Granny's my favorite
So sad, but a sweet story! The levels were designed well. It's challenging but fun to play. Love the graphics
Awesome graphic style! Good puzzles using the theme too
Fun and well done. The destructible terrain is awesome!
