original gameplay, but the goal behind the game is not really clear...
Reaaly nice game !
Was confused during the intro x)
Like, "Wait, a Tertris ? I can't even do anything!"
Nice polish and good game feel as well, congrats!
Really cool music and graph!
Interresting gameplay as well. A bit slow though and I didn't understand what were the elements around
the game for.
Beautiful art and nice use of the theme, congrats!
Nice and catchy music! Really cool exploitation of the theme! I first though you were just using the easy way of adding a screen in the screen and do a classic game inside, and I was nicely surprised! But, I'm kind of a runner, and I was trying to push the screen as I go, And it seems the space bar doesn't respond really well and making me fail my jump, a bit frustrating ^^ Good job anyway! Most original idea I've seen so far.
Ho, I get a 404 when I try to play :(
Cool idea! Some situation were really fun x)
cool game ! a bit difficult to handle at first but become funnier with time !
good game ! quite harsh but that's what makes it cool ! keep going ;)
Fun and beautiful game! I had some hard time with control though, making it hard to aime with the stapler. Anyway, original use of the theme!
Cool game, reall addicting and theme well used!
Cool atmosphere and beatiful art!
Good looking game!
reaaalllly funny !! torturing a snowman, that's fantastic !!
Cool concept!
some problems of level design (some blocks seem to be physical blocks whereas they're not, and vice versa), but really nice game ! cool graphics, cool sounds, pretty dynamic. I like it !
I love the graphics with this circus theme. Original game and gameplay, it's excellent !
Excellent game ! I can't find anything constructive to say 'cause I can't see anything wrong with this game. Great job !
Cool idea! Too bad I don't have a very good english vocabulary to play more =)
Cool game feel and nice level design, well done!
Fun! It reminds me Space Wars on Vectrex !
too bad this game is not finished. I really like the gameplay with the flying thing ! you should finish this game, it has a great potential
Lacks some feed back when you get hurt or hit a snowman, and you can't lose when you stay on the middle platform. But great music!
nice TD, I like it ;)
really good game, but really difficult too... 3 actions per day, with so many options, it's barely impossible
No game over ? was stuck when I died. The sound effect made me laught.
nice game ! pretty innovative and interesting concept !
good game, but hard to handle though. nice concept !
@SelfishGenome : we submit this game for the LD Jam. The game was done in 72h from scratch by 3 people, as you can see in the description ;)
thank you all for the feedback ! we may try polishing the game some more with your comments !
We didn't had time to callibrate gameplay, we may try to do a better post compo version
We were 3 and eah had his speciality , music art and code. We had 72 h to do this. Well, I guess we should take your doubt as a compliment :p
We can't install the apk
Sound's maybe a bit too loud. Try to add screen shake when a ennemy die.
nice strategic game ! is it original or does it come from an actual game ?
Good concept. Maybe it laks some feed back when getting a right color, and the orbs are a bit too small.
I love the idea, but the game lacks a bit of realism. I know that it is impossible to make a simulation from scratch in 2 days, and that's why I likes to play the game
Ooooooh, it took me some time to realise I could choose upgrade with the arrow keys >.< The game get really more interresting once you get this point x) Nice game!
it seems that the weird spatio-temporal portal is also on Firefox. I cannot rate your game yet, but I hope this will be fixed soon !
Cool game! But controls were a bit hard to master and we die A LOT, sometimes I got suicide while in air as well. Using scrolling doesn't fit the theme either I think. Anyway, cool entry and nice music!
Fun game! Control are a bit weird though
...
Stuck at level 2...
...
BULULUUUUUU!
Looks like a simple sokoban but way more interresting mechanics!
Difficulty increases a bit too fast maybe ?
This game is awesome !
I love the idea !
Really interesting gamplay. Good and simple art. 5/5 !
Very cool! Didn't know there was a way to share table top game with steam haha.
I like the idea very much!
Cool game! Like it a lot ^^
Love this game!
Very cool idea and nice graphics and animations!
Very funny as well. good job!
Had fun playing this game!
Good use of the theme as well.
Well done!
Poor little girl :(
Really cool game and atmosphere!
Controls are a bit too hard to master, but when you get it it becomes a fun game.
Good job!
Very nice art and very funny game! Good job!
Very cool game, love the portal mecanics, very well done. Like to throw my grenade whil still in air, makes really dynamics game play. Good job!
Nice art and physics. Good concept for the Cupido with his leather jacket of madness. ^^
I really loved to burn this old people at the end! XD
It is not really clear when you were spotted for the first time.
Lol, that's surely unconventional.
Gameplay is fun as well!
good job.
Pretty good and simple game! I like it, can't stop for triing to top my score! Didn't know grabbing stuff could feel so good :p
The intro reminded me Halo :P Felt guilty to kill cars on my way x) Nice game, maybe a it too long to get to the 5000 score ?
I think there couldn't be any better way to interpret the theme, using Kinect was teally clever! you ARE the monster! Awesome!
Dat wilhelm scream!
Funny game, a bit easy maybe
We used a royalties free music from kevin mcleod, that's why we opted out music :)
Anyway, thanks for your comments guys.
Cool idea !
I like the concept.
Lakes some sound though, could add a lot to the game feel!
I got a human stuck in a corner.
good overall
really relaxing game, I like this kind of stuff :)
graphics were nice, but the animations could be a little more polished to make the game a bit more immersive
I love the art, the music and the mood, but I didn't feel a real synchronization between the music and the gameplay. And it's too bad that the 2 buttons aren't needed. One can play with only one button and finish the game anyway, so the theme is not really respected
So Pretty ! Nice polishd game and cool grph and gameplay, love it!
I would to rate your game, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to work :( I tried both on Chrome and Firefox but all I've got is a black screen instead of the game
WOw!
My favortie entry so far!
Good gameplay , nice graphics adn catchy music!
Really good job.
Add a timer , I really felt like speed running it!
Really beatiful game.
Nice use of the two button as well.
The music got a bit repetitive but it's all right.
Good job!
Really nice game, you really feels in controls of the ship.
Nicely polished, no bug and leaderboard, good job!
Pretty game, nice polish, but, does it ever end ?
good job anyway !
the controls are a bit difficult, but the graphism and the animations are awesome! so bad I wasn't there to make you a custom music to improve the mood :P
Really nice game, I liked it instantly as it feel really polished!
nice gameplay! with better graphics/sound and proper level design, it could be a hit :)
AMAZING !
Love it, I don't know what to say !
Cool music , beatiful graphics, interresting gameplay... Please make a full game out of it :)
I had some difficulty to activate the button on the roof, and my beard got stuck under a door and i could'nt open it. Except from that this game is perfect.
good job!
kinda slow with some bugs when jumping against a wall. I like the mood with the bicolor universe, but the game isn't catchy enough to make me stay on it
nice graphics, the rendering feels exactly like the old games. that's fun! :)
Omagad, so trippy !!! Loved it!
Love the music, love the graphisme, love everything.
The only thing is, i was perturbed by up goes up and down goes down, on average plane game it's in the other way.
And I don't see how it fits the theme.
Still one of my favourite!
Mission complete !
Nice game, nostalgia hit me hard :D
it's like a mix of pac / man and infiltration, i liked it!
Cool idea, but it lakes some feed back and audio sadly.
It gets a bit repetitive.
Nice game ! It lacks of a bg music but the concept is pretty fun. May be the movements should be a little more faster ?
Nice game but your choice to limit to game pad control will really limit the number of player who can play it :/
It was fun to play but I was a bit frustrated to not be able to do a full rotation x)
Nice graphics and calm music, good.
I'm not sure it fits the theme though. On a keyboard the game would have needed height button, that's why you choose to limit to gamepad joystick, right ?
Joystick are like thousands button in a circle, I don't think it should count as only two buttons .
That's the only bad point i see though, the game was fun anyway !
good job.
I really love the graphisms and the animation! But I'm really frustrated that the story stops at this "The future is in your hands" sentence. I want to know what happened and all!
Thank you all for your amazing feedbacks! :)
inbetweengames: in fact, we changed the gameplay a few times before finding the most suitable one. And holding the beard and avoiding stuff are 2 things we didn't have the time to remove.
We are currently working on a polished and adjusted version of the game with more musics and a more understandable indications :) we'll keep you informed when the game is out!
not bad! the currently known record is about 1400k ;) keep it up!
the art is excellent, and the "story" too! too bad that the game is buggy (mainly collision problems and level ending detection).
wow! I didn't expect a game like that. The concept of the game is pretty cool!
Fun idea and nice execution of both theme, good job!
Nice concept! I really like the voice-based music :)
I think it would be great to have some indications on the seed's trajectory before releasing the catapult.
Wow I love this kind of contemplative games! The art, the poem and the music/sound design are working very well together! Really good job!! :)
The idea is good, but there is a lack of feedback. I cannot tell if I'm doing good or not. And I find it difficult to see the relation between the songs and the rythm.
Did you compose all these songs yourself during the jam ?
Our team also create a rythm game, so come have a look at it ! :)
Nice idea, but the controls are non-intuitive :/ in this kind of first person game, you should be able to do a full 360° round on yourself.
Anyway, I liked the poetry of the game, so good job :)
Weird but I've got no music or sound in game (and my speakers work well) :/
I like the art, but the movement can be improved with a base movement speed a bit faster and a jump height a bit lower.
Good job though ! :)
Very interesting gameplay !
Very clever as MorseAmalgam said, liked it a lot.
Next time add some music and some art and you could do a very cool game :p
a bit repetitive but nice art and voiceover
nice cool game! but I think the overall ergonomy of the game could be improved to make the gameplay of each minigame more obvious. Nice voice acting, with the different accents and everything, it was funny :)
Nive overall art, too bad the special FX weren't in pixel art too :)
Hello, yes you can jump with Z or Up arrow and then activate the lever with E . I reallize we didn't thought of qwerty keyboard...
Thank you all for your encouraging comments, those are very motivating. We're still working on it when we find time to finish some level. We had to rewrote some code to prevents physic bug. We should be able to post a post jam version soon :)
Thank you
Thank you every one.
We worked on code with placeholders art the same time art was created but we got a lot of physocs issue. The game was almost doke ald we had 3 levels but a key feature bugged ain the last moment and made the game unbeatable so, with 20 minutes left we knew there was no more time and didn put ulbeatable levels.
We got quite busy those two last week with contract work so we couldn not work on this but we will probably start to work on it again soon.
Thanks
Well done!! Arts and animations are so cool! Music is really immersive too.
Great concept, simple gameplay but very fun ton play!
Really nice entry! Good job!
Wow I really like the concept! :D
It becomes difficult at about 5 ennemies though ;) mays some extra features to help you escape the ennemies, such as powers with cooldown or something would be a great add :)
cool concept
Fun little game, i'm a perfect little witch :3
Cute caracter!
I didn't stop playing until i get the perfect ending haha.
Maybe the jump to get on top of the "dressing furniture" (sorry i don't know the name...) is a bit to difficult and frustrating.
Realy nice game :)
awesome
Nice graphs and style. Cool musid and apocalyptic mood.
Was nice to run and slash thorugh ennemies, felt powerful.
But attacking while runnig seems to be a bit random, like, when i press h while running it doesn't always slash, making the game hard and frustrating :(
Cool entry anyway !
Was afraid to get a screamer...
Nice game and nice ending :)
I reaaally liked the mood :)
Great pixelart and music!
The gravity switch is so hard to get a grip on however, but it's a good concept.
Really cool music and graph ! Liked the game à lot. It even worked on my phone! Cool and polished, good job!
your embedding doesn't works.
Really funny game, I laughed instantly whan i saw my allongated arm.
Cool audio and gameplay!
I don't know if it's intended but i could make disapears heavy ennemy by drgging theme far in the bottom left corner, it was a bit easy once i exploited this.
Really cool entry wwith nice graph and humour!
There is a lot of flickering problem, had to reload the game 3 - 4 times to see the symbols.
Still had flickering but managed to finish the game.
Nice puzzle, what's in that white world , wanna see !
Simple but it works. It reminds me my many hours playing sims!
Nice puzzle game! I couldn't find the exit though... Difficult then, but I loved it :)
HAHAHA I saw what you did xD
Cool fast paced gameplay but I didn't understand what i was supposed to do once i killed every one ?
I loved it. Really nice idea to mix escape room and survival. A bit too hard maybe, could not escape, too much monster and not enough charge in my generator . Very hard but fun nontheless. I had too leave so i stopped playing but I'll try again later.
Really cool graphic style and mood and overall quality. My favourite game so far. good job.
Graphics are so cool and music ambiance works really well!
Deep story to discover, I'm now a real inspector! :)
Good job!
Wwo awesome game! Such a shame i'm so bad at tron like game, I'd really like to beat this game!
Nicelly polished !
There should be a way to skip the winner last round when you lose though. When you're bad like me, you spend more time watching than actually playing x)
Cool concept.
The game was really laggy thought een on my gaming pc, when the room reset. You could add some feedbag when we die as well, took me some time to figure out why the game resets .
Wow, that's again a really great idea and take on the theme! Great game!
nice game! I love memory games like this :)
Very nice graphics and good gameplay for the RTS part
Unfortunatly the passage into planets is to glitchy :/
Cool little rogue like :)
But when I killed all the monster nothing happened :(
Good job anyway !
Re&ally apeasing but damn, who's meesing whith me and making a mess everywhere ?
I didn't want the house to be dirtie so i just stopped to move once everything was good x)
nice entry!
Maybe the movement and the reloading are a bit too slow. Can't escape from ennemies, we should be a bit faster.
Didn't understand how to build stuff either, maybe i'm slow as well >.> I press q and then can't build anything.
Cool game though!
@Firellon : you can't beat the game if you don't heal...
Thank you all for your amazing comments :)
@WarmLemon: yes ! Lydia is indeed the sister of Jacob and Cid ;) what a cunning little girl, right?
For those who found the dwarves level was a bit difficult, could you help us improve it? What would be better?
@Greed85 Wow! Thank you for your interest, we didn't expect that :)
The game is already on Indiexpo: http://www.indiexpo.net/fr/games/tree-house-quest

Thank you very much to all of us for your feedback!! It is very motivating to see so much enthiusasm aroung our game :)
Excuse us for the mistakes in the last comment!! We didn't notice it was not possible to edit comments...
Art is really good and polished and the concept of making a modular tower defense is pretty good.
But without fonctionnal pathfinding and buggy digging the game is unplayable :(
You should make a post-jam version!
amazing dark mood and cool ending !
Finished the game in 3:30!
Very polish game, I love the chara design style!
A little bit too repetitive and need a better difficulty curve.
Very good entry overall.
Nice satyr.
I felt sad and trapped in this fatality... Like, why would I ever be a pixel artist ?
This story is too sad :(
Goud job thought, i liked it!
Really nice idea that fits well with the theme.
The control room aspect of the game is really interresting and wel executed.
good job :)
nice car game, really challenging !
It seems that it is impossible to win :/ the range of the first tower is way too short, and the arrows move at the same speed than the ghosts, so they're unaimable...
Maybe you should update your game with a better balance :)
Cool game and take on the theme.
Really fun gameplay!
Hey! Nice concept! The flying is very smooth and satisfying :) with some additional feats (maps, quest system, musics,...) it could become a very good game !
