This is a fun idea. Not sure about the pet/punch mechanism, however.

GameBoy <3 Fun game, enjoyed it.
It took me a few minutes to figure out how to play, but once I got the gist of it, things went quickly. Great job. I enjoyed this one.
Addictive! Great game.
I like the demon animations, very nice.
Post-compo please! I enjoyed where this was headed.
This gave me Earthbound flashbacks. I hope you continue this project, very promising.
This is interesting. At some point I requested a hint and the game crashed (unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where I was).
Not sure about the balance, I finished my tower very quickly. But this is a very unique idea and the graphics are great. Good job.
OMG I love this. Especially the elevator muzak. Awesome.
Great game! I'd love to see this one expanded.
Very fun, great job.
I love your princess! Great concept for the theme. The bombs were a little tricky.
Good idea for a frogger-style game. I think the best strategy was to hang out on one side of the street until all the cars were ticketed/left, then head to the other. I liked the fail screen.
Very nice, great puzzle game.
Love your graphics! I hope some post-jamming is in your future.
Fun to play. Great use of lighting.
I really enjoyed every part of this game. The evil parts are the most fun (and the final evil stage is the most therapeutic) but I did enjoy delivering the babies because I liked their cute little baby sounds.
Very cool. I enjoyed this one.
You've got the start of something, here. Keep on jammin', my friend.
This was fun. I'd like to see a score and a timer or more difficult levels.
Good graphics. Fighting the guards is pretty difficult.
I like games that explore the problems of being a minion. This little guy works hard at a life-threatening occupation, and for what? I guarantee you he doesn't get 401k matching. His benefits are crap, and they probably don't even have a decent severance package either. There's no Goombah union.
Great Game. Level 2 is pretty hard.
Very nice!
You monster! But fun, yay.
Very funny, though it took me quite a few tries to deliver the appropriate level of annoyance. Great game.
I love the graphics.
This game gave me Battletoads flashbacks. The intro story is awesome.
Lots of fun!
Though this is short and (I think) unwinnable, I like the concept.
I really like this.
Great game, very funny, definitely one of the most solid entries.
Great entry and fun to play. You really captured the feel of an NES game. I like the pep talks Super Agent Man gets when he falls.
I enjoyed this, but had some slowdown issues when the zombie music started.
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE WITH THAT GOAT
Very fun, great stress reliever. Rank: Dark Knight.
Really like the art style, very clean.
Best sound effects ever. The turtle-ped's hit detection is questionable HOWEVER it did not stop me or ruin my dreams.
Love the mood.
"Bottomless bag of dicks" is a quote I will always remember. The shotgun is wonderfully effective.
Awww I kilt them D: I expected there would be some reckoning in the cave, like a giant carnivorous one, but alas. No.
Really Fun, and challenging.
I found this very challenging. I think the sheep mechanics are on the right track, though. They act like I imagine scared sheep would act, the way they scatter and run into corners. Getting them into corners was about the only way I could catch them.
Very solid entry, and scoring too. Lots of screaming. (And are those BABIES crawling on the road?? You villain!)
Great mechanics, simple and fun. Love the clean visuals.
Challenging, but awesome. This game is so polished. One of my favorites, definitely.
Everyone, thank you for playing and thanks for your comments. If something doesn't sit right, feel free to leave a note about that. I try to absorb it all so the next thing will be better.
@protensity - The CSS was mine, but the custom macros were Leon's. List in the postmortem:

Some of those jumps are challenging. I like the eerie, spacy mood. The shaking effect works well, but I'll agree with those above about the ceiling instakill.
Not being able to shoot up or down got me in a little trouble, but I liked the added challenge. You nailed the theme on this one, very nice.
The zebra cube is the soul.
I really enjoyed this. Your games always put me in such a good mood. I think the guy in the barrel plus the harmonica music that did it for me.
This is incredibly cool. Great entry.
Elegant in its simplicity. Great music, excellent control.
I like it when he sheds tears of joy.
Love your art.
Great use of the theme and Ren'Py. Congrats on your first game.
This is really cool puzzle game. It took me a few to figure out how to play, but once I got the hang of it I dug it. There is something so satisfying about getting the angle just right.
Zen, poetry. You are a poet. <3
I dig the graphics, very stylish. I expected the black hole to draw me in, though, same as above.
<3
Great concept. The sound effects are the icing on the cake, really. Rainbows!
I was surprised to see this was a Ren'Py game! I slogged through a lot of RPGs when I was younger and you really captured the essence. Great entry, very funny.
This. Also, I think I ate my own corpse??? Satisfying!
Great concept. I really liked the music.
This is one of my favorites! So simple, so addictive, so minimalist. Lovely.
"You died from laughing too hard watching Louis C.K."
I consider it a victory.
The cuteness is tremendous. This is very polished all-around, but my favorite part is the "cooperative" aspect of the gameplay. Great game.
Apologies everyone, I pasted the wrong link. The correct ones are up now.
I really enjoyed this one. Fun game.
Great idea, I really like this concept.
This is such a great game, and a lot of fun. I wish it was longer. I laughed when I fell in that first pit.
I really dig the enlarge/shrink mechanism. Very cool idea. I enjoyed this one.
Funny dialogue, and I really liked the graphics and character designs. I think my favorite line was probably the bit about eating the buildings.
This was a lot of fun. Smooth controls, great music.
This is a cool puzzle game. I really like the concept.
OMG the mood and atmosphere in this game. Totally creeped me out. Loved it.
I like the way you think.
