Too bad it had few options :( the funniest part is that everybody liked the theme!
Seemed interesting, but downloaded it twice and gave no result
Would've been awesome if I knew where my player is from the start... Not after a minute of looking at the center of the spiral :(
Liked the graphics, but it's impossible to beat this game!
Love this game! But you programmed the levels so they only had one solution, because the end level collider only works from one side and that's quite a downside, because I made several levels and then went into the end level and nothing happened :( besides that is a nice game.
I like the level change idea, though I had a little trouble figuring out the goal.
Nice mood, also the aging mechanic was interesting. Controls were sometimes irresponsive and the fact that enemies started attacking before they appeared on screen were huge downoffs :/
Fun voice acting!
Interesting, but your approach to the theme made this game really uncomfortable to play.
Too bad you didn't complete it. What I tested I loved it :) reminds me of Scott Pilgrim vs The World + Steven Universe.
Lovely aesthetic setup!
Was having a blast... But didn't understand what did the white crates do :/ so I had to leave. If you'd make its function more proper in the level design, it would be awesome.
Besides that, I really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing the source :)
Cute game! But yes, my eyes had some trouble seeing which stars were good and bad, and I kept eating bad ones by mistake while I was squinting. Nice mood, and great graphics!
Starting is quite frustrating because of how fast the snowmen attack and respawn... Then after killing those initial snowmen and collecting all the initial presents... The game becomes way too slow :( interesting game, but the fun was over way too fast.
Nice concept and mechanics! Good refreshner for the stealth games!
Amazing game! Man that boss is tough...
All the small details are there. Ace!
I thought it was gonna be easy... But it scaled so fast!
Awesome idea, super-ridiculous. But, The Ninja kick doesn't seem to hurt or fend off the zombies :(
A game about collecting cute animals? Nice! Wished there were more mechanics, but it's a nice game.
Interesting approach to two overused game types: Tower defense and pinball. Good job
I love your idea of playing in a cup of coffee with the sugar cubes, I love the graphics and I feel the labyrinth concept is quite fun.
However, this game feels so glitchy and unresponsive at some times (jumps usually work, usually don't, explosions don't make the player bounce at times, sometimes the single jump is way too high...). The lack of polish makes it lose some points.
Still, I like the idea, would love to play a more polished version.
Nice! Liked the random levels, but didn't understand well the mood.
Interesting art game. Liked the music.
74 Deaths but I beat it! Nice levels! but a bit hard to control... But it makes it twitchy-hard! Good job!
Couldn't play: windows and source links:
Not Found
Error 404
This visual novel has good potential. You should polish the art and it'd be awesome. Also I felt bad I didn't get the girl ending (I guess there are two endings).
In the bad part, I felt introducing the narrator that long started the game made it a bit confusing at the start, which is something you could fix.
Who thought being Santa was so hard? lol
Nice game, but control scheme was quite awkward. You should've replace the J and K with some keys more appropiate to the right part of the keyboard :)
Really interesting mechanic :) liked it
lol Jesus living the dream! Funny game
Heavy turning, but it was fun.
Nice, simple game
Have you ever been so lazy... you saved the world from your bed? Lol nice game.
Loved this game and I'd get it if you keep developing this idea further :)
I'd love to be able to drag the tiles or at least know their size in beforehand, it felt quite awkward. Even though I loved the feel of progression you made, the game ended and none of my players were level 4 :( that was bad.
Anyways, 4 stars for you :)
I pressed 'A'. Darn. Should've listened to you.
Interesting approach to the theme, I liked the overlapping mechanic, but the game isn't that fun :/
Nice music and visuals, but the key openers oftenly spawn in the border and they are nearly impossible to hit, making the game frustrating
Love the pixel art and the concept, but didn't find it that engaging :/
That was fun, but it felt quite easy, especially since that "limited energy supply" never became something relevant.
Wall jump is quite uncomfy. I feel it would work somehow better with a Controller, but not with a Keyboard. However, I died around 50 times before ragequitting, I gotta say loved your game :)
(Gracias por ponerlo en español, nunca pensé ver algo así por aquí)
Loved the recoil mechanic. What can I say? CANNONBALL MACHINE GUN!!!
I had a hell of a time getting the controls to work for me... it was almost impossible to get the hover craft to the fruit I wanted to grab on time! Not sure why I had so much trouble with it.
Java exception error, my Java is up to date so can't play your game :(
Nice beat! Too bad I came into a part that seems impossible, so I lost the rest of the track :(
Didn't expect an idle game in here. Nice game :)
I enjoyed the sense of evolution you gave at the start of the game, too bad you didn't use this feature further.
Awesome game!
Cute! And it's fun to play too! :) the game feels to slow sometimes given the small number of choices, but I like it.
Game never downloaded :/ download speed is way too slow.
I see potential on this game!
Nice pixel art. I guess the maze is randomly generated, because the first level had a space unreachable by any means
Interesting concept and aesthetic. But I'd like to have more options at the beggining to watch this game as fun.
Lovely game that explores this side of the childhood is sometimes forgotten (the transition into other interests). I think the concept could easily be done further into a full game that would be nice :)
My only drawback is that the dog bark didn't mix well and it often was quite annoying. Besides that, good job.
Awesome! By the way, thank you for letting the player read the instructions and know where to begin before starting the game, something that most of this type of games didn't made.
Game glitched and the broom flew away lol
Relaxing game, but the challenge lacked somewhere, didn't feel much motivation to keep searching for the clues to open the treasure chest.
Cute, too bad id has no sound :/
Not a fun game (it's just TOO slow), but love the graphics.
Loved the gameboy style, but I felt the game sort of easy, also it got me dizzed throughout it.
When I saw this game on the front page, I felt this game was for me... Was not disappointed.
Love your pixel art <3 Quite a funny game, hope it gives more information before starting the real game so you don't lose days figuring out what to do.
Can't play, rar file keeps getting damaged.
Game won't open without giving Firewall permission... sorry but won't play.
Funny game. It took me a little bit of time to get a hang on this walljump technique, and then there was this impossible leap of fate!
Screw these d*** N'Gengulonians!
Nice little game. Amazing detail even though it was for the compo!
Nice! I really liked it!
When I understood that the resources would rise over time and that my fellow enemies needed my help, I was on my way to victory!
I couldn't get very far - I couldn't get past the frist level until 2nd generation, and the trees didn't seem to re-grow? Also, I was saving a last apple for when health was low, and then it just disappeared - trees die? Very hard! Fun though. Cool concept. Just wish I could have done a little more than wait for a man to arrive on the first level in Gen 1.
Nice voice acting, nice graphics, it felt weird sometimes with half the screen active...
Damn, that's hard! lol nice game.
Nice pixel art. For some reason I healed from nothing and that was weird, but it's ok.
Really liked it! Very funny :) Nice graphics too.
Also cool that you can just hold the jump button instead of mashing.
What do you mean it's all I got for you...
You know how much bad guys I had to kill and how much concussions I got to get you these diamonds? :P
Interesting, but didn't get the Tower Defense idea.
Nice enemy design! Also reminded me a lot of Megaman when you need to fight all the bosses again, I love those levels!
Really funny! And fun! Nice and simple game.
The randomness was a bit harsh sometimes, I want MORE popsicles mommy!!
Amazing.
The fart meter maybe goes up a little too fast. You have to keep mashing the button, can't forget about it for a second (maybe that was the idea?).
Nice game and graphics.
Nice 8-bit version of Daft Punk :) it was fun.
Loved your approach to the theme!
I would definitely Greenlight this if you put this on Steam! :)
OMG THIS IS AN EXCELLENT GAME! *****
My only drawback is that there isn't a lose condition. Hopefully, if you'd add this, I'd definetly buy this on the Play Store!
Well, thankfully I'm not a doctor lol great game.
Nice! I really liked the fast controls, very responsive, fast action game! I was expecting sluggish tank controls, boy was I wrong!
It felt more suited for a spaceship or something more maneuverable. Also, very nice AI. Could've been nice to have more enemy types and/or tank upgrades, but overall, amazing for a compo! Keep it up :)
Damn, that's exactly how I felt 3 hours before the deadline! Nice game!
Hm, looks like a nice game but I couldn't play :(. For some reason, I cannot hear any sound, though obviously others can. I can hear sound on other games so I'm not sure the issue. ps. The account Grindstorm is shared by my team so the above is a teammate, not me ;)
It was pretty fun but then there is not much in terms of progression.
Interesting mechanic, but it's really overwhelming to not know which tiles can be used and which not.
Very fun game! I got 55K, not so bad :)
Good audio feedback that helped me understand the black and white parts.
Love the guitar sounds :) nice game
Interesting concept, I like it!
Hey! We had a similar approach to the theme! :) nice job.
Fun game :) although the approach to the theme was ok, playing in fullscreen only made the screen appear in one corner of the screen, leaving the rest in a black background.
Looks nice, but it seems really complex entry-level. A tutorial would've come in handy.
Nice little game! It was fun to play. I found the buy mechanic slightly confusing (If I buy a double fire first round, and then again second round, is it doubling the doubled fire? Or am I just wasting my money?). I also wasn't getting full feedback on when my bananas hit the animals (I think they only lit up about half the time). Lastly, the full game didn't fit on my monitor screen, so I was kinda left guessing for the bottom quarter of the screen. That said, I quite like the game (especially the giraffes) and def think it could go somewhere :). Well-done!
Really nice! A bit hard to see sometimes where you are and where you're going. I would've played more levels! :)
Ok, would like to see this game in a dungeon crawler or something of that sort.
Didn't get what the objective was in the end...
Simple, addictive, and fun :)
Looks great! Like really great! Took me a second to figure out who to send where, but then I got a hang of it.
Nice. I like that the controls are wonky, its part of the challenge. But I'd love to see a score screen at the end!
242 in first round. Nice game!
lol it was funny when I fell off the plane. Nice minigame.
lol smoke weed everyday
Updated the link, it should run now.
Thank you guys for your amazing comments!
We are very happy you are liking it.
For those stuck on level 11: I'm terribly sorry but there is a progress bug where the crates don't destroy upon hitting lasers :(
Unfortunately, you won't see my dreadful (and last) level 12.
We might add a fix or a skip level button if we are permitted to do so. Thanks!
Jorge here. Thanks for all the comments and feedback! Sadly the compiler won't cooperate with us, so I put a Skip button on level 11 so you can keep playing past that level :)
Love the art :) too sad I got stuck at fourth level :(
Game glitched in level 4, when I restarted the level the win condition was kept active, so I couldn't get past that level. Anyways, nice game :)
Kept me challenged the whole game, I gotta say it was a nice, relaxing game :)
Damn, war sucks :/ but this game doesn't! Great mood
Web version is not working :(
I only found 3 keys but I stuck with it for awhile! Cool concept - very hard. I liked it. I thought the music loop was a bit short though, and it didn't loop properly (beat has a hiccup) I think a longer, less repetitive music loop would have been a bit easier on the ears. I really liked the level change buzz though.
Interesting project :) but it's quite confusing the fact that I don't seem to have a limit of how many dudes I can put, so I just put like 10 boxes and easily won the game.
Anyways this is something I'd like to see further developed!
Curse that bear!! HELGA WILL CRUSH YOU!
Cool game! That bear scared the s*** out of me man!
I like the idea of the winner choosing what to remove! At the end, it becomes quite the deathtrap!! Intense!
I can't play your game because I don't have a PC, but I wish I could - it looks hilarious!
Poor Snowman, he died :( them collection of LD themes was nice lol points for humor!
Nice, I guess there wasn't a lose state, but I think it's necessary :) still the game looks highly polished, good job.
So cute! I made it to the internet :). Great story, and really fantastic interface!
Cute game! The only thing I would say is that I never got any positive or negative feedback for my choices. I couldn't really tell if I was making any kind of difference. It would be nice if it was winnable too :).
Loled so hard when Annika's voice actor was male.
Fun game! Coliision with the slots and the pace of the combos felt quite awkward, but it was enjoyable.
Mechanic is quite complex at an entry level, but love the graphics and audio!
Simple, yet fun :)
I had some trouble figuring out gameplay - how do I change the direction style? Or does it just rotate and I have to wait? I also found the sound really jarring and very loud.
Very good writing. I do wonder how much the world can be affected by the choices, I only played a little bit. Will continue later :)
Nice simple game.
Oops the hat has inverted polys!
Love the character though, she's cute.
I wish she got more presents cause most of them are ruined ;)
Interesting idea, but didn't get how to go past level 5 :(
I like the model and the animation. Too bad you didn't manage to design levels, would've been fun.
That was really cute! But damn, I lost track of where I was with such small graphics
Interesting way to fit into the theme, but it's also quite uncomfortable to try to move while also scrolling the screen.
What can I say? <3 <3 <3
Another member of Grindstone commenting - so great! Love the concept, would love to keep playing! I died with only one Quickie left :(. Great work!
ps. our game:

Very fun game!
Add in some power-ups and it could be killer.
Maybe put easier enemies near your starting point? Those ghosts are quite persistent...
Love the mood, but somehow didn't get the game at all. Also please make sure the main character gets visible, I lost myself several times.
Music never played, so it became quite lame after a couple hits :/
Love the graphics!
Nice! Very good take on the theme.
Nice visuals and consistent style.
It's just too bad there isn't more to do!
Good job!
Hexagon made trippy and seizury! lol why aren't you on Music category?
Fun game! Good item and monster variety! The hook was cool but not all that useful.. A higher jump would have worked the same. But still, It was working pretty good.
Good job!
Seemed ok, but sound was sometimes too loud, also the game behaved some sort of randomly sometimes.
Beautiful game, interesting and with a nice mood. However, I felt normal mode had a single strategy to beat it, wish the maze and spawning position changed every turn.
Nice graphics and player design. It's quite difficult that you can't move while jumping, and that took me off of the game :/
Awesome game :)
Love the art, relaxing mood!
I found gameplay difficult to figure out, because at first I couldn't see my character (very dark) and wasn't sure if they game was working right. I like the backdrop though. Would have been nice to hear some sound!
Great game idea! Took me a minute to figure out how it works, but its a cool concept that I think worked very well. Got stuck eventually though, because rotate wasn't working for me :(. Well done, nice idea!
OMG, that was intense! I liked it.
Kung Pow with ragdoll physics? Much better than the movie!
Interesting game! I didn't get the idea of the four seasons though :/
That was funny! :)
Nice graphics and interesting approach to the theme. However, you should stick with just one audio file or fix that transition. The two BGM files didn't mix well and the transition felt quite awkward.
Although not a big fan of the Mario game similar to this one, I love penguins! And your graphics are great!
