I liked the concept, but I'm afraid I found it too slow and easy to play past the fourth level. Maybe dragging a path with the mouse & faster animations would've kept me interested?
The audio also didn't work for me (Chrome on Mac), so maybe this is an unfair review!
Nice use of the background to show UI elements.
Wow, that feeling of release when Probe # 10 found the treasure!
Everything came together to make me feel like I was exploring a high-tech ruin. The first 5* I've given for mood.
Work this up further, for the good of games!
I love the concept, but unfortunately found the jumping and timeline management a bit awkward (I'll have to replay when I have access to a mouse instead of a touchpad).
Reading your postmortem, I like the idea of a static timeline (maybe non-repeating, but longer than 10 seconds?) as it could introduce some interesting puzzling (which route to take, how long to wait for, etc.) Also, maybe something like a "climb" action instead of a jump would allow for more leeway with timing?
Perhaps my favourite use of the theme so far!
D'aww, I'm welling up now, man.
Wow, that pixel art is fantastic! I love the concept and hope you go on to make those other eight-and-a-half levels.
The style of the HUD and the spaceship made me nostalgic for old Flash games!
It's also good to see another game with gravity in space!
I would've liked if the distance between the nodes at the top matched the distance that the protagonist travels in the time. Otherwise, great concept and execution! That's a massive amount of content for 48hrs.
Your first game? A sterling effort, chap! Excellent job on the visuals.
I think I had the most fun on the boss after the first failure. Knowing where she was going to move to and slowing down time to blast her was cool!
Very stylish!
Very well polished. I only wish that Chaos mode was a little faster.
The best I've played all competition!
Unfortunately, the level stopped scrolling on my best run (though I could still shoot and move the butterflies): http://i.imgur.com/5017QsX.png No errors in the JavaScript console.
I think I have RSI now. Maybe it's all the ass-cradling?
Aptly named!
I really liked the concept of the floating staircase building up procedurally, but I managed to get pushed off by the blocks! http://i.imgur.com/KAOd4GY.png
The new rules introduced forced me to move faster!
9.3!
This is the first game that's ever made me want to eat cheese. Especially enjoyed the last level with the pit!
The ball movement and rewind felt very satisfying, but I only wish the jump was a little more forgiving.
Sorry, it crashes for me when I select a corruption level.
Macbook Pro 13" (Mac OS X 10.7.5)
Amazing control scheme and very responsive! You did this in 48 hours?!
Loved the visuals!
Nice concept that fitted the theme well.
I had real trouble trying to select the option I wanted with the arrow keys, but neat concept!
Really couldn't figure out what to do on the second level!
Addictive gameplay. Humorous cat names. What's not to like? That I couldn't save more cats. :(
LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon (19)
Bubble Becky by Dining Philosopher 2015-04-25T20:51:00
The sticky gum physics were very fiddly and too frustrating, but I liked the novel idea.
Mable: The Journey by tripleVisionGames 2015-04-25T20:33:00
A novel idea, but it feels like the implementation is a bit unforgiving. I'd drop the sword and quickly fly up to kill a charging bull, but the sword would miss them. I think the sword floats a bit when you turn into the fairy? Probably worth exploring and polishing further.
Adventure Lamp by ryguydavis 2015-04-25T20:24:00
Throwing the hat away had no consequence other than having to wait for it to respawn. Either don't make players wait or have some sort of recovery mechanic (see Titan Souls). The level design was fairly basic and I found myself just brute-forcing the harder levels.
Flail Rider by jushii 2015-04-25T20:12:00
Please make this a local multiplayer game and stop the car being wrecked when you crash! An arcadey bounce would be sufficient. Also, the buildings/trees shouldn't slow the flail down by anywhere near as much!
NOPAEW by Anikki 2015-04-21T16:59:00
The limited colour palette looks great, but the platforming physics just didn't work very well for me.
Orb Defender by Acuity 2015-04-20T19:32:00
The controls seemed far too slippery and the pucks were flying too fast to reliably hit.
I'm not sure the puck changing colour is interesting. Might be better if each player has their own puck?
Zombie dinner by goerp 2015-04-20T19:27:00
I think it must've broken for me; I clicked the lettuce and it was surrounded by a red border, but then I could do nothing else.
Badass Inc by deepnight 2015-04-20T19:22:00
Visually stunning!
Jungle Hair by ncannasse 2015-04-20T19:06:00
Looks very pretty, but sadly it was very conventional and I didn't find the platforming very fun.
ＢＥＤ✰ＨＯＧＧ by 01010111 2015-04-20T18:02:00
Splendid. Very well polished.
I did find the keyboard controls a bit jarring. Why doesn't the up arrow key jump?
RELIC by CptDustmite 2015-04-20T05:41:00
Very moody. Good job!
Head Sword Ninja by junt74 2015-04-20T05:28:00
I really liked the responsiveness of the controls, but felt like the level design was lacking. Flying off, I'd get lost and not find any uncut melons for a while. Maybe just have a small arena with melons being thrown around?
A Nunexpected Weapon by leo_p_mahon 2015-04-20T05:16:00
That was... a nunexpected game.
I found I didn't have enough time to recover from jumps, but it was a laugh.
Bacannon by donan 2015-04-20T05:06:00
I feel like the health-is-ammo concept could be worth exploring more, but I had so much ammo it didn't really come into play. Maybe there are more varied enemies later on, but I'm afraid it was too easy to sustain my interest beyond a few rounds.
DRILL KNIGHT by Cryotube 2015-04-20T04:46:00
I really like the art style, but the controls felt really unresponsive and I found it hard to reliably land on an enemy.
Copycat by Terry 2015-04-20T03:31:00
I found the turn controls very disorienting; it made some sense when using the sword, but I still think I'd prefer turn-to-face when pressing a key perpendicular to my current direction.
Off to the Races by RyanNielson 2015-04-20T02:38:00
That was fun, though I'm not sure if my keyboard will last much longer! I didn't even notice the bombs until I came back to vote and saw the screen shots, but it probably fits the theme more than my game!
Ding Dang Doom by Qui 2015-04-20T02:30:00
While I didn't find the game particularly challenging (because I could just spam the attacks), the weapon was novel and the protagonist was particularly humorously-drawn.
Phage Therapy by uberscientist 2015-04-20T02:17:00
There didn't seem to be any real challenge to the game; I could just hold space and rotate to keep gaining points.
