Well this is very meta...lol. Ludum dare, the game...cool idea, very original :)
I like the graphics, and the sounds were cute. The parallax effect was cool, I wish I managed to get that into my own game :) . The block placement lagged a bit for me, so I had to restart a few times. Fun game, nicely done!
I like the feel of this game, felt kind of claustrophobic after a few rooms...lol. Only problem I ran into was it started to lag out on me after after a bunch of rooms.
Sounds were pretty funny.
I love the imagery, very effective story telling. I really enjoyed it, nicely done.
Cool idea, it was a lot of fun. Would make a good mobile game.

I tried to run the game on my Mac and got the message "LD30" is damaged and can't be opened.
Neat idea, it was fun...hard...but fun... lol
Interesting concept, the story was pretty amusing. I thought it was pretty funny.

397 innocents died :( but peace was achieved :)

Cool concept, really had to think about the 4 mazes so it wasn't all trial and error. Fun game, nicely done :)
I WON, 10 hits in 83 seconds. I liked it, felt crazy hard at first. That second row of shields is evil.
I really liked the cute hand drawn graphics, and the piano was nice. I enjoyed it, great job :)
The dialogue was amusing. I thought it was pretty funny.

Fun game, nicely done.
I couldn't run it either, tried downloading source and putting it with build.html but that didn't work either.
Fun game. I like the graphics, and the gameplay is very interesting. The scrolling from the sides was cool concept, didn't see a connection to the theme but maybe I didn't make it far enough.
Fun game, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I got $0, managed to break even after blowing up all my cargo ...lol.
I like design, and moving between worlds was interesting. I got an error when I hit one of the WASD key in the instructions screen "Mouse.lua:57: attempt to index a nil value" so I just use the arrows instead and it worked fine. Good game, I enjoyed it.
Worth it just for the scream...lol. Fun game, good art and sounds wish there was some music. Had a blast playing though, great job!
Great idea for the theme. I enjoyed it :)
Nice game, I like the art and the levels were interesting. It glitched on me where it was showing the people I stunned lying on the ground but I was still be shot by them. I enjoyed the game, nicely done.
cool concept, I think it has a lot of potential.
Music and graphics were really good. Controls could be tighter, solid game. I enjoyed it.
lol, Iove the idea. It was fun, good job :)
Cool concept. The resource management and combat worked well together. I found I kept wanting to click the shape on the planet rather than the enemy...lol Fun game, I enjoyed it.
I like the graphics and the level design is really good. I enjoyed it, good job!
Fun runner game, the mid air jump was a cool mechanic. I liked the music and graphics too. Nicely done :)

I like it. I was almost done (I think,cleared most of the screen)and then it crashed on me 'MonkeyGame quit unexpectedly'(I'm on OSX). Otherwise, really fun game, nicely done :)

Challenging and a really cool concept. Controls felt off, or maybe I just suck...lol. Nice job :)
Challenging and interesting. I liked it, nicely done.
Fun game, I couldn't beat the 3rd dragon. I enjoyed playing, nicely done.
Yay, I saved the miners! I had fun, good game :)
Do you get food in the mail? I couldn't figure out how to get more. A way to speed up time would be nice. Interesting concept.
Whacking snowmen with a shovel, very entertaining! Great game :)
Cool concept, great idea for a sim. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)
Fun game. Really nice graphics, and good gameplay. Nicely done.
The controls were difficult, but this game was just so much fun...lol. Great job :)
Music and graphics were great, really had an old arcade feel to it. I had some trouble with the controls, after I killed a Tranglor I got thrown left and it continually pulled me in that direction until I died. I really liked the teleport mechanic too. Fun game, great job :)
I like the concept, difficulty is ramps up pretty fast. I found it really hard to dodge, it would be nice if you could move with the keyboard and aim with the mouse. I liked it, good job.
Nooo, my butter!!!...lol. Fun game, and great art style. I really liked it, nicely done :)
Fun game, I've never wanted to kill a little red man so badly...lol.
Cool concept, I really like the multiplayer idea. Fun game, nicely done :)
Fun game, although I'm pretty horrible at it. The song was a nice touch. I enjoyed it :) I also can't rate it, so I'll try again later.
It has a cool mechanic, some sound would've been nice but still pretty solid. I had fun playing it, nicely done :)
Fun game, played through to see both ending. I enjoyed it, nice job :)
Cool concept, looks great, and the level design was really well done. I really enjoyed this game, great job :)
Great mood, I liked the story.
I like your take on the theme, very clever. Fun game, nicely done :)
Cool idea, I liked it. I like the filter you used to get that old monitor effect. Really felt like your using a terminal kept finding myself hitting tab and up to autocomplete and get last commands...lol. Fun game, I liked it :)
Really cool concept. Gets pretty tense when you start running out of room. I enjoyed it, great job :)
The art for your player character is nice. Played for a couple seconds before it lagged out and I fell through the floor. Grats on your first Ludum Dare and on not giving up.
Cool mechanic, I like the idea of the puzzle in a puzzle reminded me of 'The Room', great way to interpret the theme. Would've loved to play more levels, great job :)
Cool concept, and great level design. The controls felt kinda twitch to me, and I wish that after you solved a level you didn't get taken back to them when you died. Fun game, I really enjoyed it, nicely done :)
Gas??...lol. Very entertaining, I enjoyed it.
Very nostalgic, make me want to go get a happy meal...lol. I liked it, nicely done :)
Fun tower defense game. I like how the screen transitions into winter, very neat effect. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)
I could see this being really fun with another person. You'd be playing tug-o-war with the keyboard while your snowmen were playing tug-o-war...lol. Fun game, nicely done :)
Nice graphics and music. Frantic and fun, I really enjoyed it :)
Cool, concept on the theme. Fun game, I really liked it. Good job :)
Loved, this game. Retro graphics and music were perfect, and great use if theme. Really , great job! :)
Really cool take on the theme. Definitely has a lot of potential. I really enjoyed it, wish I could play more :)
It was super tense at first, until I realized they couldn't hurt me. Not very challenging but has potential.
Cool concept and very ambitious to do an rpg. The music was really well done. I liked it, nice game :)
Pretty fun, like already mentioned the I couldn't see the turrets I placed. They still attacked though. I liked it, nice job :)
Liked the mashup concept. Fun game, nicely done :)
Cool concept. I like the graphics the animals are great. I liked it, nice job.
Love the pixel-art graphics. The music and sfx are all really nice too. Fun game, great job :)
Cool concept, I've never seen a game played from blender before, that's really neat. The music and graphics fit the mood well too. I liked it, nicely done :)
Thanks for playing guys :)
@wer2chosen - I really like your idea (think I'll add it to a post-comp version), I wish I thought of it...lol
Yeah, I love how many snowmen games actually got made...lol. I'm planning on cleaning this game up for a post-comp version so thanks guys for all the feedback.
@badlydrawnrod, that "Mum plays.." was great, very entertaining :)
@Tuism, I think the problem is probably lag from the particle effects that @nuqu mentioned. I'm working on a post comp version and found reducing this down significantly fixed my framerate issues.
Thanks again everyone for taking the time to give such great constructive and helpful feedback!
Cool, concept and story. Nicely done.
The graphics and music are nice. Short but fun, I liked it :)
Using the light to pull objects was a cool mechanic. Only issue I had was when a ball was under the pointer you couldn't see the light anymore but it still pulled everything around it. Fun game, nicely done :)
Fun game, I liked it 1755...so close. Good job.
The movement was super slow when I was playing. I watched your youtube video and it looked like a decent speed so maybe it's an issue running the game on a mac. Grats on your first LD, good job on your first game and look forward to seeing your next :)
The music fit the mood well. Fun game, I enjoyed it. Grats on your first LD entry :)
Nice little game :)
194s, turtle is happy now. That 'nom' sound is great too...lol. Fun game, good job :)
Cool concept. It made the combat a little more tense since you had more to do than just fight. Although, once I noticed I couldn't be killed I just focused on getting the flowers. Fun game, I enjoyed it. Good job :)
Cool game. The rewinding time effect for when you loose was neat. Great job :)
Fun game, I got to 47:58. The teleport was a cool mechanic. Nice graphics and music, I really enjoyed this. Great job :)
Interesting to watch, grats on your first Ludum Dare and getting something out there :)
Grats on your 1st Ludum Dare :) I think there's a screen before the game starts but it was too quick to read. Fun game, nicely done.
lol, that poor kitty.
Cool mechanic. Fun puzzle platformer, I really liked it. Good job :)
Fun game. I liked watching the evil snowmen crash and burn...lol.
lol, I was not expecting this. Fun game, great job! :)
Nice minimalistic game. Good job.
Cool concept, the camera switching was stressful, had to kill those little spider/crab robot things...lol. Fun game, I enjoyed it.
This game is as fun as mascarpone is to say!...lol. I liked the music, and switching colors is a cool mechanic. Great job guys :)
The music/graphics in this were excellent! It does get easy if you stand by the fire but all in all great job I really enjoyed this.
Love the low poly. Felt super statisfying making those long range shots too. I really enjoyed this, great job.
Interesting concept, I liked the changing maze idea. The controls felt kind of awkward, the guy seamed to just keeps walking after you let go of the button. Nice job.
lol, nice.
Fun game, lots of stuff to do. The graphics were great, although it was hard to see at times. Great job :)
Good game, the music and sound fx were a nice touch. I think I wore out my touchscreen...lol. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)
Great graphics and sound, it's brutally hard. Since the bonfires are pretty far apart you really have to commit to a direction without knowing if there s a bonfire where you're going. Tense game, I really liked it, great job :)
Fun puzzle game, took me a while to solve it. I enjoyed it, great job :)
Great first Ludum Dare game, always like seeing other phaser games :) I missed the sound fx but still a solid game. Good job, nicely done
Fun game, I enjoyed it. Great job :)
Cool concept, I really liked this, though it did take me a while to figure out what to do. Great job :)
Cool concept, the lights switching off made grabbing the coins tricky. I liked it, nicely done.
Cool concept, I had trouble controlling the rotation. Fun game, nicely done :)
I like how the difficulty ramps up so you can't just go in blasting. Placing bombs to reach the vaults made it really interesting. Fun game, really liked it, great job :)
I like the hand drawn look and the music was nice. Some of the jumps were pretty rough, like if you killed the guy you were suppose to springboard off you couldn't make the jump. Or if you missed a platform you couldn't try again. Fun game, I enjoyed it. Good job :)
Cool mechanic, forced you to have to memorize the rooms. Took me a lot of tries to beat it...lol. I liked it, it was a lot of fun. Nicely done :)
Nice graphics and sound. Fun game, I enjoyed it. Nicely done :)
Had to try that a few times to win. Kept dying reading the names...lol. Fun game, I really enjoyed it, great job :)
I like the shifting rooms, cool concept. I liked it, good job :)
Neat idea with the raycasting, helped give it that underground feel. Couldn't hear the sound on the mac so I couldn't rate on that, and it crashed on me in the 3rd level. Other than that I really enjoyed it, nicely done :)
Couldn't run it on my Mac (osx 10.10.3 yosemite), crashed on opening.
That was really cool. Watching my army of ducks taking down 4 giant robots was oddly satisfying...lol. Short game but lots of fun, great job :)
Cool concept, once you knew where the notes were it got a lot easier to move around and repeat the rhythm. Fun game, I enjoyed it :)
Cool, concept. I could only make it to the third level, very challenging. The art was really nice too. Fun game, I enjoyed it :)
Cool concept, I like the story bit in the instructions. Nice graphics and music, the controls controls felt kinda strange, and I kept having to restart when I messed up the level. A puzzle reset option would be nice. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)
Loved the graphics and audio. I was playing the WebGL version and when I killed the mobs a little black dot was still shooting me, it wasn't doing any damage but it made it hard to tell if I was actually getting shot later on when things got crazy. Fun game, I really enjoyed it. Great job!
The color mechanic is interesting and educational. Took me a while to learn the patterns, so as a color newb I found it hard. Graphics were really nice. Fun game, good job :)
Cool, mechanic, it was a lot of fun to mess around with. The graphics were really nice too. Great job :)
Good little typing tutor. I Scored 239, very enjoyable game, nicely done :)
Nice graphics, the teleport mechanic was really cool. I found the unicorns really hard to control. Fun game, very challenging.
Got 174,000, fun game. Really liked the art style, the controls felt good, difficulty ramped up at a nice pace and there were lots of different enemies. Oh, and that strike attack is awesome. Music, got repetitive after a while, but really fun game, nicely done :)
Cool concept, I really liked the hand-drawn look, and all the destruction. Fun game, nicely done.
I like the concept, actually curing the zombies. The ending was great too. The controls were a little slippery, but manageable. Fun game, nicely done :)
Nice graphics and sound, lots of instructions but the game play was pretty straight forward. Cool take on the theme, only issue I had was that it crashed on my mac. I enjoyed it, nice job.
Yay, I got the diamond. Fun game, very clever mechanic for using time. Fun game, I really enjoyed it :)
Fun game, who doesn't like a poo flinging monkey?...lol. I enjoyed it, good job :)
Cool, concept. It was fun to switch out the different materials. Very clever, I enjoyed it :)
The darkness does a good job of setting the mood. Controls felt kind of off, but still enjoyable, nicely done.
Very hard game. Looks like there's a lot of detail to it but I didn't really live long enough to use much. The one hit kill is pretty punishing when you're juggling the growing, constructing, defending and attacking cycle. The graphics and controls are really nice. Cool concept, nicely done.
I liked the level design and the variation in enemies. I only made it to the 4/5th room, my fps began to drop down to 5 fps which made it too hard to play. Fun game, I enjoyed it.
Cool take on the theme. I probably enjoyed throwing hot coffee in people faces more than I should have...lol. Fun game, I liked it.
Took me a while to find the blue box. Fun game loved the ending. Great job :)
Cool concept using the enemies as the weapon, really like the art style and music too. Fun game, nicely done :)
Very clever mechanic, a lot of fun to mess around with. The graphics and music are really well done as well. I had some lag issues other than that I really enjoyed it, nicely done :)
lol, too funny "The worlds first cold-blooded rifle-hotdog". Very entertaining, nicely done.
I like the pixel art. Simple and fun game, nicely done.
Fun game, I really liked the art work. Took a while to get enough money for other weapons, only bought the first one. I liked it, nicely done :)
Congratulations on finishing your first ludum dare. Very clever to have the unconventional weapon used against the player. Fun game, I really enjoyed it, can't wait to see what you come up with next :)
Man that's tense when you miss ...lol. Really liked the pixel art and the mechanics. I found the difficulty really high, but it makes sense given the weapon you're using. Fun game, I enjoyed it.
Controlling both characters was a cool mechanic. Fun game, nicely done :)
Fun game and a neat concept, the drug effects were cool. The controls felt a little off. Jump felt too low, and the speed changed when you run diagonally (although that did make gaps easier to clear). Graphics were really well done, and the puzzles were challenging and interesting. I really enjoyed this one, great job!
Neat idea, I enjoyed it. Good job!
Fun game, controls felt good and the graphics and sounds were nice. I enjoyed it :)
Fun game, got pretty tense quickly. I like that you can teleport the enemies. I kinda wished I could kill them by dropping them, instead I just tried trapping them in the ground and that seamed to work. Cool, idea, I liked it :)
Cool idea, filling up the water was an interesting mechanic. The music and art was really nice too. Wish it was longer. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)
Cool concept, I really liked the music. Had to open the ogg file in itunes since I'm on a mac so I could here it while I played. I'm glad I read the instructions first, I'm not sure I would've figured out what to do on my own. Fun game, nicely done :)
Fun game. I like the music and pixel art. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)
Neat idea. You guys got a lot more in here than I thought at first glance. I liked the different weapon variations, and durability, and that you could use more than one at a time. Could've used some combat sound fx, or some visual cue for hitting the enemies, like if they flashed like you do when you get hit. Fun game, nicely done :)
Really fun game. The are and music were great, and it was funny to try and ride out a Tsunami while harpooning whales mid-flight...lol. Great job!
Fun, fast passed game. I liked it, nicely done!
Interesting take on the theme of the theme. Fun game, nicely done.
Graphics are a bit rough but it plays well. I liked it, congrats on finishing, nicely done :)
Cool, idea for using both themes. Fun game, good job.
Fun game, the ambient sound fit the mood well. I enjoyed it, nicely done!
Fun game, and a cool concept. I liked the graphics, and the gameplay was nice. I enjoyed it, great job!
I like the idea of putting the two buttons in the game, interesting take on the theme. Fun game, I enjoyed it.
Cool, idea for a typing game. I enjoyed it, good job!
Art and music are fantastic, a very polished game. Really enjoyed this one, great job!
A little tricky but pretty fun. Graphics and animations were really nice. I enjoyed it, good job :)
I love how you mixed the music in with charging the lasers, very nice touch. Fun game, great job!
Fun game, I liked your take on the two button theme. Hitting 'enter' to restart after a game over would be nice. Other than that nicely done, I enjoyed it.
Fun and challenging game. Nicely done!
Music really fit the game. I enjoyed it, nicely done!
Cool concept, fun to just set it up and watch it go. Fun game, nicely done :)
Fun game, you weren't kidding about it getting super difficult after level 8...lol, nice twist though. I enjoyed it, good job!
Pretty creative way to use both themes. Fun game, nicely done.
I really liked the art and music. Fun racing game, nicely done !
Interesting idea, and also kinda creepy. Nicely done!
Pretty creative use of the 2 button theme. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do after hitting the ? circle. It say press <- and space, where space fires a bullet but when it hits the grey thing it restarts like you lost. Anyway, congrats on finishing your first Ludum Dare :)
Pretty creative use of both themes. Congrats on finishing your first game. I enjoyed it. Nicely done :)
Creative use of both themes. I enjoyed it, good job!
Nice, pixel art. Congrats on your fist ludum dare. Fun game, nicely done!
Really liked the art and music. Fun game, I enjoyed it. Great job :)
Cool mechanic, took a few puzzles to get use to it. Fun puzzle game, nicely done.
Cool game, I liked the mechanic of switching your equipment from different slots while you went through the leve, made it really tensel. I came across one glitch where I was swapping my shields and it was in the slot but didn't show up on the tank and I got blown up. Fun game, nicely done.
Good puzzle game, fun and very entertaining. I enjoyed it, great job!
Cool matching game, smooth animations and nice graphics and music, the reveal bonus is a cool mechanic. Fun game, nicely done.
Fun puzzle game, lots of different mechanics and plenty of levels. Great job!
Cool concept, it was fun trying to figure out what shapes you used to make the object. I liked it, nicely done :)
Really clever use of the theme, and the music fit well. I got stuck on the 3rd level, until I saw the note about they have to be the same shape to jump between them, which is really cool mechanic since it forces you to think ahead. Fun game, I really enjoyed it :)
Sound effects really make this. Fun game, nicely done :)
Cool concept, wished the changing was a little quicker. Fun game, nicely done.
I like the art style, good puzzles and even a boss battle at the end. Very impressive. She seamed to stick (like not jump to full height) if you jumped to close to the lip of an edge, like on stairs. Fun game, great job!
Grats on your first ludum dare. I like how the maze changes on replay. Fun little dungeon explorer and cute animals. Nicely done, great job!
That last level was hard...lol. Fun game, nicely done :)
Fun game, nicely done.
Different, but I liked it. Nicely done
I like the art style. It gets difficult pretty quickly trying to jump between the holes when they're a lot of them strung together. Fun game, nicely done.
Cool mechanic, very original. I enjoyed it, nicely done.
Cool concept, controls were a little twitchy for my taste. Most of the time I just stayed in the cube shape since you can jump high enough to get around most obstacles and you don't roll off the edge from the really quick acceleration. Anyway, very challenging, I enjoyed it, nicely done.
Fun and challenging with nice graphics. I enjoyed it, nicely done.
Grats on your first Ludum Dare game. Nicely done.
