I like how you made sure that the gameplay is understood. Tuturial, help page and even first few levels were clear enough to grasp the concept of the game. After few levels the game feels a bit shallow. Maybe it has to do with the level design since every level (except one or two) has a straightforward solution - no branching, no choices, just a path to the trophy... I like the level where you fall into a pit and you need to choose a red or blue color - I would add more levels like that where you need to choose a path not just follow it.
Or maybe the game lacks some interactive mechanic - a way to move the morphing items so you can use them on different parts of the map or something like that...
I figured out the controls after reading the description without problem (I don't understand the confusion about it - maybe you added it after the comments?). I think that the core mechanic has a potential. Sadly the game is very buggy (as seen even in the tutorial video! :/). But I feel that this could be a great board game.
I really wanted to finish the game but the coloured squares kept overwrinting themselves and thus making the puzzle unsolvable :( You can reproduce the glitch by getting a square to both 1D "buffers" on the same spot and then rotating the cursour around that spot (press left-up-right-down)
I would like to try to finish the game so if you fix the bug let me know :)
I got an A! I can see the Rhythm Paradise inspiration - the game was juicy, minimalistic, silly (in a good way).
I wouldn't punish the player for missing a beat by not letting him play. That felt a bit merciless... Also I think that some beats were a bit off but I could be wrong (I have an older laptop so that could be also the cause...)
Overall, it was a fun game!
I like your interpretation of the theme. It is refreshing to see something not literal... I got a feel that this is a pretty personal game but then I figured out that everything is randomly generated so I guess you fooled me :) (descriptions of people sometimes seemed a bit artifical though)
I made friends in a nerd crew!
Oh man, this has so much potential! I completed all the endings and I like this prototype as it is. It has a nice, mysterious atmosphere. But if you polish it, create new levels that expand on the mechanic and make it touch friendly... That would be an awesome smartphone game.
I don't know if I beat all the areas - are there three of them? Lung level has great idea of using the balls to simulate air particles. The appendix in poop area almost got me :D I didn't understand the blue level - I just moved all the way down and then all the way right and I was free...
The shape-shifting mechanic is a nice idea but I used only the bacterium form... If you will continue to work on this I would add levels that require shapeshifting to complete them...
Great take on physics logic game! Gameplay-wise it reminded me of Crayon physics - I had to think how to complete the level but then actually moving the objects to the end was also a challenge.
Strings were very well implemented - when I accidentally made a knot I was worried that it is some bug and it ruined the string... But it was actually possible to unknot it!
I was looking forward the huge puzzle at the end! Why it wasn't playable?! :-D
Also nice credits roll!
I really like the bullet absorbing mechanic. It creates interesting dynamic - on the one hand I need to kill monsters to keep the game beatable on the other hand I need them to seal the portals. I would add different AIs to each enemy class - now they all tend to create a dense flock that is practically invincible... Fun game nonetheless!
Well you know the gameplay is not very rich, but even then - YES! I love it, Open Transport Asshole Deluxe. The idea is simply awesome, the execution is a bit off.
Awesome. I love it. I think the bonus should not be capped at +4, but it should grow indefinitely. Juicy and fun. Great entry.
The audio is great and the graphics are is a way gorgeous too. The mood is in fact quite strong. The gameplay is very simple, but ok. The game on the other hand lacks an ending.
A nice simple concept, thank you for your entry.
The main strength of this game is its mood, but you could have worked better with the audio. I like the idea of different maps and the graphics are rather solid. Well done.
Technically drawing a gun and aiming is an aggression, but I like your concept so I will not nitpick it any further. Yay! I managed to shoot back at my killer and hit. Top that!
I like the background. Good job. Keep up the work.
A great game! At first I thought seeing could have some implication about the object's as well as subject's position.
I had lots of fun and I especially like the fact the puzzles are generated. Job well done!
The aspect part was a bit hard so most of the time I brewed random stuff. But the brilliant audio, voice acting and rather frenzied pace of the game kept me glued to the monitor for more than fifteen minutes. He is disgusting! lol
A really good game. I like the multitasking involved and the take on the theme is in fact rather fresh. All in all: LOVE IT!
I laughed, it was more fun than I would have though. Also damn children nowadays, they are so impatient.
I love the awkwardness of the laser as well as the monster as the gameplay was still fun and rather dynamic. Classical video-game/comic book feel about this. Great job!
Very good and polished game! Great take on the theme!
Getting the kid was possible, but escaping to that closet afterwards was a little too hard. Maybe I got it wrong though. Awesome game, I spent half an hour playing this. Madness!
The most awesome part is that you can just hold space and flyyyy. The physics of demolition is great!
The graphics are great and the whole idea is hilarious. It could have been as diabolically hard as qwop and it would be complete.
The controls are a little bit too sensitive. Graphics is great! I could not win the first level though. Good job.
The instructions were really fresh! Well done!
I don't know how you do it but this is your second game that made me do boring paper work and I loved it.
I was half expecting the ending but otherwise it is a great sniping game (I appreciate accurate bullet physics!!) with nice graphics. I had definitely fun playing it. Windows download is down btw.
Didn't run on my laptop (browser crashed), tried desktop and omg. This is very good - theme, mood, graphics, fun. This entry has it all.
I love your soundtrack! The graphics fit the theme well. The gameplay is fun and crazy, but eventually gets repetitive. Never really made it to the congress though.
The music is a bit repetitive and gets annoying. Otherwise cool. Well done!
Nice mood and music. Little challenge though.
Nice, I like options in combat and things like various moves. On the other hand the theme interpretation is a bit clumsy.
very fun! Snatching bodies is a great idea.
Great graphics and nice take on the theme! I growed 3-4 times and then I couldn't grow anymore (eating was very slow), I don't know if that is a bug or the end but someone stamped on me shortly after so that solved the issue :-)
controls are a bit clunky but once one gets used to it, the game turns out to be pretty fun. There is a lot of content and I can see you had even more plans - for example the multiplayer. If you fixed the controls I would play some post-compo version.
the graphics as well as mood are well done and the story left me interested. I was a bit disappointed to see that there is only one dialogue... I would definitely play a completed post-compo version!
I cannot remember the last time I played a evade-only game and this was actually pretty good so thank you! It is a bit buggy though - I got stuck on walls a few times and the teleported/well didn't work once.
The graphics is nice and fresh. The stealth system is cool too. Good job!
Surprisingly fun, cooks and cellphones ftw. There could be an animation on being hit by an arrow, it was a little bit confusing at first. Well done!
This is absolutely CRAZY! The concept is pretty simple, but the play was challenging, insane and weirdly addictive. I played again! Well done.
This is gold. The intro is brilliant.
I thought it was going to be in first person at first. The camera is confusing. The rest seems promising. But it lacks an ending.
Nice light effects and blindness. The devouring sound was a bit over the top. I like the feeling of stealth though.
I think it would have been great if spooking earned you more time. Otherwise it's a cute little game - well done!
Oh my god I love the bard!
I love the mood of the night, the combat is a bit awkward, plus I could not find the last sheep. Nice graphics, good job overall!
The graphics is impressive. I love the two modes of hunt, it could be more separated. I did not understand the voice though. Great job!
DOES NOT RUN IN FIREFOX. It does run, however, in chrome. The graphics are absolutely superior and so is the audio! The combat system feels a bit underdone and hard, so I did not get very far. I would LOVE to see more content!
A lot of content here, good graphics! I love the mechanic of changing back and forth, but I changed in a narrow space and got stuck :( Plus the dialogues lack skip option. Good job overall.
This is a very nice looking prototype of a interesting game idea! I would like to see a post-compo version
Great game! It's very fun to play and it offers the right amount of challenge. We didn't get the interpretation of the theme.
So far the best game we have played. It is pretty short - I would like to see more enemies or mechanics.
The mechanic itself is solid. I would like to see more challenging puzzles.
Funny game, however not sure how it links with theme.
This is quite funny game, shame you don't get some sort of points for abducting the items. The evil laughter is great!
I was quite amazed by the idea of Android controller. Good stuff, man.
Shame there isn't more game mechanics or score (or just I couldn't find it). But funny graphics.
It was a bit tricky to control the player, which makes the game less.
I like this one, and I was definitely amused by the death screen.
It is good concept.
I must say I enjoyed playing this, but I ain't got time to finish it :)
Nice, great idea with the music.
Nice entry, definitely works with the theme. Also nice graphics.
Pretty known concept but I like it!
Quite good, nice graphics. But not very original concept.
Awesome, I just loved it. However I got stuck in that level with only one antitractor on the left.
Really nice gameplay, I love games like this!
I tried to focus on the news for a while, but it was lethal. Very funny however! I really like the concept and the idea in it. Very nice!
Interesting concept, a bit hard but fun. Fits the theme perfectly
Oh my god, that atmosphere... Great job giving me chills. And the ending... Well done! (Sadly it is quite short)
very funny :D
Pretty entertaining. Friendly zombies are good and funny idea but I can't figure out if it fits the theme. Good work though.
Innovative and really fun gameplay. Well done.
I broke my fingers. But it was worth it! :D
Great! I liked that I had to remember several positions in the maze and the idea of changing the maze. But I lacked the audio, it would make game much better.
Funny idea (we actually had similar to this, so I am glad we afterall chose difefrent). It is simple and entertaining.
Way too big mouse sensitivity, but the concept is quite good. Unfortunately, because of graphics, it looked a bit like minecraft.
Great graphics. It is a shame that there is no sound.
Everyone already said this but this game has potential. Timers and other timed events could make this game to something more than just pressing Z. But now it does fit theme very well :D
Well, it's a shame it's not a game. But it's nice simulation and has great graphics.
Amazing work. It's very polished, very juicy, fun to play and visually stunning... Plus it's a bit like my game. Perfect! :D
So simple and yet so entertaining. Good job
Interesting and original idea, easy controls, I like this game. The only fault is the difficulty, you could add option to decrease the spawn rate of apples or something.
Awesome game! One of the best I saw here - very original concept, easy gameplay and fun with building a real fancy ship. It is somewhat similar to FTL (quite good game). I didn't finish it though, I always had problems with food.
I don't know what happened, but there the LudumDare26.exe crashed right after launching it :-(
I have Win7 Home Premium 64
Well I think this concept was here before... The innovation of adding a second ship didn't make me change my gameplay - hold A + Space except for when a ship comes. At least there is cool music and it isn't too easy.
Great game! I solved only the first four levels, but it is unbelievable how complex physics you made in only three days. It is fun too.
i like the atmosphere here, the exploration and search, maybe more colors could be fine, but i like the evolution of graphics. nice!
You are a real troll :-D
A very simple but great game, I liked the signs and the traps. The MS Paint graphics just enhances the atmosphere
good idea and funny gameplay :D It is a shame there is no actual goal
Really good storytelling. I got frisson at the end :)
Great music, I live chiptunes! The game itself was pretty good and amusing. Pixelart is a bit simple but it fits the music ;-) Also there is a bit annoying delay between pressing a key and movement
wow, game so simple... and yet so fun! Good job
Great game! I really like the idea and the feel of the game. It could be a little faster though.
nice game. except maybe i would appreciate different controls (those where the arrows are relative to your orientation). I died like hundred times and i actually enjoyed it, but it was a little hard sometimes ;)
The physics are good, but it is not really amusing to play this. I think it is because you don't get any response for success but the increase in the score and chances and there is no audio. It could be better after that, because the goal of the game is quite challenging.
I didn't manage to finish but it was still good game. I liked the graphics and it was quite fun also.
Great game. As known, there is no way you could have to many particles in a game, and this is just great. Congratulations!
Good concept and graphics!
I liked it! The graphics are cool and it is quite fun, although it is a short game.
Quite short but very good interpretation of the theme!
I really liked the graphics and the audio, and so I enjoyed playing as well. It is known concept, but I liked it anyway.
I liked playing the game, especially the graphics and the mood (because I didn't know about the bat for a long time and only saw Watch out text, which provoked expectation of great danger ). But it is not very innovative game.
I like this. I just dont get what these yellow things around my village are.
Hey, this is not the best game here, not the most inovating, but it is still fun. I like it. Your first ludum dare? (Czech Republic? Chlape, měli bychom se někde srazit a zapít LD, kde bydlíte?)
I like the idea, but I was quite confused
Later on I didnt know what to do
Really not very exciting but the theme fits well.
I love that creacionist
similar to tyrian, but I like the space invaders shapes and it is quite fun too.
Nice idea, but I kept getting confused.
I liked this game very much... It does not seem very original, until you find your hp are actually your pixels. It is quite motivating. Run, or you will disapper forever. I didn´t like audio, I would like more sound of wind. And graphic is sooo cool. Five stars!
I got it working somehow and it was nice. But I didnt know what does what.
I got lost in the Doom :( maybe a minimap could be useful. But cool.
very hard, but pretty innovative
This is beautiful. Not just because of graphics but also because really clever and realistic simulation. And even it is "just" simulator, it is entertaining as complete game. Made a map with food in center and corners and watched the struggle :). Good job!
Nice, but in general you could slow down the tutorial a bit. I read the text, but I wasnt thinking about it and I started again and missed it. And even in second try i didnt know what to do. But i like the concept.
Very innovative! But it looks more like fractal editor or something. So it wasn't that much fun but it is really very interesting after all :)
I like games that need one button to control :)
I like the idea of the magnifying glass and the concept. But it was quite difficult for me. Anyway, good job.
It is possible to hold X and win (after a while) automatically. Still it is great game :)
Nice but I don't like the vibrating mechanics.
Nice job.
Well, one can tell this game is either not complete or they are missing something. But I like the graphics :)
Nice concept, but firstly it got easy after a while and secondary, the theme does not fit much. But I like it :)
Too easy for me. But I like the idea of one target for turrets.
Interesting but very hard...
Great job, nice physics. I really liked that. But it is not evolution quite much, is it.
Nice effects. Good job.
The world of what is unfortunately ironically fitting name. I honestly didnt know what am I doing. But I liked the graphics.
Nice game, nevertheless a bit difficult. But I liked it and it suits the theme quite well, since evolution is caused by random mistakes :D
Nice job
Nice game but too easy.
Nice, I couldn't believe that levels are randomly generated :) It has really a potencial. Please make a post-compo version with more enemies! :)
Nice game! But it is too easy to skill on weaker bosses...
Nice graphics but that's it. :/
well, good idea, but the genetics works differently. The child always gets mothers OR fathers feature, but not anything between, so that when you have child with five legs, one of his parents has to have five legs. The game unfortunately didnt work like this, at least not for me. And yeah, the pet-punch system was kinda weird. But the idea was brilliant.
well, it wasnt than fun it seemed to be at the beginning. But nice
Well I actually liked the idea, but the game was somehow too difficult to play and I wasnt purely enjoying it.
I liked it. I honestly didnt know what was the goal, but in the end i made it. Nice graphics and colour choice :)
Actually I hoped for greater level i can evolve to, like so big you can barely spot them from the beginning (hard to explain, i hope you got my point). Also the handling was a bit problematic. But I actually enjoyed it a bit somehow :)
interesting idea and i enjoyed the beginning but then it became to easy :)
Interesting, but not much innovative :)
This game is sooo wtf :D I laughed all the time, especially at the end!
I found hammering red squares suprisingly entertaining. :D As everyone says music is really cool! But the low contrast and too bright colors were the reasons I stopped playing.
Really nice game. I have played for about half an hour. :)
It gets too easy after a while but it's still fun.
Highscore: 548869
I dont know whether the game was trying to help me, ruin me or it was just random evolution. But the pieces became totally useless. But i like the principle, maybe post compo could be good idea.
I like the idea but i was being shot seconds after level retry and the game was getting quite frustrating.
Interesing idea, but unfortunately, it isnt designed well. I didnt even find out which is which.
Awesome game with great potential of tactic planning and organs arangement. But I think it could be useful if turtle shield could block ships. Btw I love your soundtrack!
At first I didnt know what to do, but i enjoyed it after all. Btw I love that graphics.
The instant kill is very annoying. Since monsters can spawn very near to you, it is more likely to die by accident.
Nevertheless the game is still very entertaining and has good looking graphics. :)
Cool game! But had problems with controls. :/
(adding mouse would help)
I need more evolution points :D
I was stuck for about 15 minutes in one "change" and wanted to quit but the mood trapped me :D So I had to finish it.
I like it , but in a while ti gets a bit boring. But first levels,, where you discover all the possibilities how to use genom gun are entertaining.
how? HOW? HOW can I get past the little monkey? :D
I realy liked the idea of attaching parts of body, but it was a bit weird how they attached. I also noticed, that it's very difficult to enter a room with great body and don't get shot immediately.
Sadly it is too short and have just a little content. :( I'd love to see more because there is really a lot of potential: Great graphics (fan of ASCII games here! :) ) and funny plot.
This was probably the most entertaining game I have played here on ld24 so far. But this principle isnt new for me since i know Osmos. I especially love the succession of level names. I got that part after Upcoming crash. But surprisingly, tit wasnt crash but line of levels called "undefined". Anyway, I love it. Awesome!
I had a hard time controlling both characters at one time and instant kill by zombies was a bit annoying. Also I got stuck in elevator. But I really liked the microphone idea. And graphics and audio are superb. Maybe I will give it another chance. ;)
It was hard to find out what to do but I considered it as an "additional puzzle" and eventually won :) Also, It has neat graphics.
After subAtomic I was really looking forward to your next game. :) I love your humour and graphics. It is a shame it lacks music but it did not really affect my mood rating because the story was enough. The idea "evolution backwards" is great but it could be more sofisticated. But I guess the world-saving theme is just your favourite. :)
I enjoyed the first three levels, even though i didnt know what to do. I really like that black and white graphics and your font. But later on I got lost. I miss a tutorial or something. Or at least objectives. Nevertheless i like it :D
Love your graphics, but after a while the game itself became a little tasteless. (I find it great that you at least hear the slimes bouncing!) Btw it kinda breaks when i hit space at the opening screen (in firefox).
Very nice idea but it seems the game needed more testing. It is truly very hard to play and gathering life esence (or regeration) is slow, so slow it is almost not fun. But anyway, great idea and I liked the music a lot. (Quiet, calm, as the depth I started to conquer.) Please, do Post-Ludum dare version with faster gameplay. :-)
I don´t like jumping very much... It is somehow wierd. I don´t know, maybe you fall too slow? And also mutations... I got like 10 of them but there wasn´t any change. (Maybe they will be useful at the end?)
But anyway, it is good game. I am definitely going to play it again. (And again, and again...)
I liked graphic very much. It took me while to figure what to do, but after you added tutorial to the description it was much better. It´s quite funny, but it seems it´s hard to win. But anyway - I like it.
Playing this game was funny, despite the fact I don't know what exactly should be evolution in this one. I can't give more than one star in inovation, it's classic tower atack.
Great, very addictive game with neat graphics. It is a shame it has no ending cutscene :/
Simple but clever. I like it
It was difficult to play because I am used to click in the reversed direction in this type of game.
awesome
nice simply game
Great game but it is too easy :)
I can't even download it. :(
It was a bit hard to figure out what am I supposed to do but when I got it, it was actually pretty entertaining! However, when my blue planet evolved to red game became unplayable (I guess there were too many particles.)
Sadly, It crushed in the middle of my game. It has neat graphics but firing bullet by bullet was... uncomfortable
I like the way you concived the theme and I also like the raging storm outside. On the other hand, physics of boxes is not always very realistic, which can cause a funny situations for me as a judge, but not for me as a player.
I have already seen this concept in Ant Yet It Moves, still it is very entertaining.
I don't know, this shooting-up games are greatly known to anybody here, and I'm bored out of these. And nothing is changing during levels. It's just to static.
Although the game itself isn't very entertaining, I enjoyed listening to audio.
Well, I enjoyed playing this game because the principle of the game is great and funny especially for me (I'm interested in chemistry). But in the other characteristics, I don't think it's anythink special.

Ghosts In The Shell by xgeovanni 2016-08-30T18:47:00
A little bit anti-climactic end, but otherwise I loved it. If you would ever like to take this idea further, it would be fun to actually have to use some sort of program, say grep or pipe some programs together etc.

The art is great! Keep up the good work.
