Nice take on classic platform game. I noticed 4 buttons used, so I am assuming that the theme is "grow".

Nice take on classic platform game. I noticed 4 buttons used, so I am assuming that the theme is "grow".
Not a game, as you say, but it was nice to walk through this. Makes you think.
Funny and bizarre! Loved it!
Very addicting. Lots to this game and it's fun! I did play this on an older laptop and worked great, except I had to figure out how to rotate the grid... holding the arrows didn't work. Once I got over that, it was lot's of fun to play!
Not a bad spin on pinball. The controls seems a little sluggish, but was playable. Nice job.
Very nice job! Loved it.
Nice game... good job. Challenging and fun!
Nice game with simple control. I agree that this could be moved to mobile and tap to kill the germs.
Nice job! Fun to play.
Nice game... simple to play, hard to master!
Very nicely done! Great button masher game. I don't think it is too hard, actually. I got to the boss level and almost finished him off. Really nice graphics and music as well. Great job!
Wow, that first level is hard.. never got passed it, but i like the concept of NOT jumping. This has potential, but maybe tone down the first level a bit. :)
Very nice! Game play is great, and the graphics fit the game perfectly. Enjoyed playing!
I liked it... reminded me of the old arcade game "Time Pilot". Good job.
Link not working
Nice job. Great version of classic snake game!
trippy!
Not bad... i think it has potential. Perhaps speed up the items falling as you progress.
Nicely done!
Thanks Jupi... I appreciate the review!
Catblocker... I did notice that the ball dropped incorrectly after seeing your post, and this will be fixed in a bug release soon. Thanks!
Thanks everyone. I apprecate you checking it out. I am considering continuing development, as I have a few ideas I want to implement.
Lots of good suggestions... thanks everyone!
Great job! I love the "simple to learn, hard to master" type of games. The graphics are a good fit for the game too.
Love the revenge round!
Nice game. Seems like a nice candidate for a mobile version.
Interesting concept. I like the main character. More sound and perhaps a help screen would improve it, but it does have potential.
Nice job. Draws you in and makes you want to solve the puzzles.
Nice puzzle game, makes you think a bit before moving. Nice graphics. The controls did take a bit to get used to.
Nice job! I really liked it.
Fun, retro-like game!!
Yep, very short, but a good start. If you decide to continue work on it, I think it could be a good game.
I tried to download the Windows version 2x and there is no Data directory included... just me? I'll check back and try again later.
Good take on a platform game. Slower paced, which I like.
I think this game has some potential. A couple of bugs, and the space bar seems a bit sluggish, but I enjoyed playing this.
Great start... continue development!
Love it! Great job, fun to play. Love the grayscale style.
Starts off hard, but fun to play. Nice job.
Congratulations on a very nice game. Love the graphics. Love the game play... very challenging. Background music would really make this even more awesome.
Nice job on this. It's fun to play. I like the full view window on the bottom right. Reminds me of some games I played a long time ago.
Well, I have to admit, this cracked me up! Good job... very original.
Retro-like shooter with an update... very nice. Lots of fun to play.
Nice job. Man, the second level gets hard quick!
Not sure why the space bar is needed, but it was fun to play.
Never got the pants, but great game. Fun!
Does seem short as others said, but nice game.
Nice job!
Thanks to everyone who reviewed my game so far. @icefallgames, thanks for the tip about the pdb files.
Very nice! I love the simple, but nice graphics, and the game play makes you think your moves. I scored 42! This game makes you want to keep playing.
I'm not really sure what's going on in this game, but I did enjoy playing a bit. On-screen instructions would help.
Nice game... get's challenging.
Love the art and animation, but I have no idea what I am supposed to do. The game seems to end before I get started.
Good start... well done!
Awesome! Nice graphics, nice parallax scrolling. Lots of fun to play.
Nice game. Using a controller might make this a bit easier to play, but I enjoyed it. Congrats!
Pretty cool game! Love the butterfly animation. Story mode is great for first time play.
Definitely nightmare material. Interesting concept
Looks nice, it has potential. For me, it was a little hard to tell which shape I need my ship to be in order to kill the aliens, but the concept is cool.
Very nice game! The easy mode was challenging enough for me :). Like the graphics and game play.
Very nice! A little hard to play on a laptop with a trackpad, but I did manage to get some steaks on the grill. I also knocked over the radio and dropped a few steaks on the floor! Well done (pun intended!)
Pretty nice game... hard too! Nice soundtrack.
A unique twist in a standard shoot em up. Good job. Lots of fun
I think you have a pretty good start here. I do agree with other comments that some audio feedback while in the dark would be extremely helpful.
Not a bad first cut. Has potential with some work. It is a bit hard, which is not bad, but perhaps ease into the difficulty a bit.
Good tetris clone. Nice colorful graphics. I didn't use Enlarging/Shrinking all too much. Perhaps a bonus for its use??
Pretty nice. I agree that a tablet version would be awesome.
Audio and graphics are great. Controls are a bit difficult, but after playing a couple of game, I got it. Nice job!
Challenging! Well done.
Interesting concept. Nice graphics
Loved interactive fiction! Thanks
Interesting. Took me a bit to understand what to do, but once I got it, it was nice to play through.
Not bad... congrats on getting a game completed! Room may be a bit too large... lots of walking! Concept is nice.
Nice music and graphics. You really have to be very close to the book in order for it to register that you are there but that can be fixed easily
It's funny and quirky, which I like. I have to admit, I was a little confused as to what I needed to do other that shooting the hipsters. Like, the yellow bags and the things that are thrown, but a little documentation would cover that. Good job.
Nice game... I think it has great potential. Keep working on it... good job.
Very nice!
Nice! I wanted to keep on playing, even though my best was level 3. Nice neon effects.
Interesting concept, but to be honest, I was a bit confused what to do while playing. Perhaps it's just me :)
Good start... don't give up! Even though LD is over, if you like it, get back to work!
Not sure exactly what I have to do, but it was interesting and kept my interest.
Gotta admit, I didn't really understand what I needed to do. Graphics look nice.
Nice game... smooth controls, nice music and graphics.
I'm old enough to remember playing text adventures, and I like this one. Using buttons helps move the player along. Nice job.
Nice effects! Nice game... fun to play. Thanks!
1:08 is my best. Unique and fun. Good job! Keep working on this!
Frustratingly cool!
Pretty cool... lots of fun!
Interesting. A bit had to figure out what to do, but I am sure this can be fixed by either a help screen, so some sort of hint or job alert system.
This game is great! My favorite so far. Funny and challenging. How do you remove a bomb once you place it and fail? I could not seem to do that. Congrats on a great game.
Interesting concept. A bit hard to move and jump accurately.
Not bad. Monsters are cool, sound is nice. Keep working on it!
Great to see a puzzle game... always fun to play. I do agree with some of the comments that the walls need to be thicker (more visible). Good job!
Not a game, but I loved watching this... very trippy. Nice job at setting the mood.
Interesting and challenging. Good job.
Nice platformer. Graphics a wee bit small on the web version, but definitely playable. thanks!
Interesting game. Fun and challenging.
Nice simple game. I like the zoom in slo-mo effect.
Nice puzzle game! Good job
Nice game. Not sure how/why the explosions occur. Enjoyed playing your entry!
Beautiful graphics. Fun to play... lots of ways to get flushed! The controls were a bit hard to get used to, but this is a nice game. Congrats!
Not sure what to do... walked around a bit and clicked on things but I did not seem to progress. The game looks pretty cool though (a wee bit dark), but it looks like it has potential.
Unique concept. Fun to play. I agree that you should continue to work on this.
Short, but fun! Thanks
Funny! I had a dust bunny spawn under the sofa, so I could not finish a level, but this is a unique idea. Congrats.
Nice classic gameboy style game.
Nice job... very enjoyable
Interesting. I do like it... makes you think a few moves in advance in order to get through it.
Really nice! I think there may be either bug, or I do not know how to manage the controls, because sometimes I walk right through the blocks I need to push. Putting that aside, you folks did a great job... congratulations!
Finished or not, this is fun to play. Nice job!
Even though this is not complete, it is a great game. You should continue to work on this. Lots of fun.
Very nice... cool puzzle/skill game. More levels!
After an incredibly long download, I extracted and played this. I must say that I did enjoy it... audio and graphics were great. With a little work, I think it can be improved to allow you to move some of the presents to better positions... sometimes they drop and cannot be moved.
Can't run this without the data directory.
Cool game. Perhaps speed up the running a bit for added hype, but it was fun to play. Nice graphics too. Thanks!
Sorry everyone... I just updated the download. Could you please try again?
Continued thanks for all the reviews and comments!
Thanks for the reviews and comments. I appreciate it and will revisit the game in the near future to fix bugs.
I did just upload a bux fix version that changes the key bindings. Thanks for playing!
Nice shooter. Cool music.
Well, I got stumped, but this was fun to play. Congrats on a good job.
Good start! Nice creepy vibe, sounds are great. Black smoke effect is cool. Keep working on this, it has potential.
Not bad! Congrats on your first game. Nice glow effect on the keys.
Not bad... I got the code in the wrong order, so I kept trying.
Nice! Simple concept done well. I actually liked running into things to see what happens.
Incredible pinball game. Kudos! I watched only a few minutes of the stream (since I was working on my game) and I knew I had to play this. Incredible graphics and sound.
Pretty cool game. I did notice that my bat got cornered by a ghost and the game got stuck at one point, but overall, this is a fine entry. Congrats!
Interesting. Took me a bit to understand what to do though, but I do like the concept. Nice job with Blender as well.
This has potential. I like the creepy feel to the game. The ghosts seem to come out and kill me without warning though. Nice effects and sound.
Had a laugh and a great time playing. Well done!
Nice entry. Graphics and sounds/music is amazing. Game is fun to play.
@jorbits Good idea... never really thought about it, but I can see having different types of power-ups.
Thanks to everyone so far for playing. I appreciate your comments and will return the favor when I play your game. Your comments will help me improve the game in the future... lot's of great suggestions!
@icxon I actually did think of a table and lamp for the game, but ran out of time. Something to add for a future version to be sure.
I will check out your game as well.
thanks!
Thanks Gris... I did notice the WebGL version was cropped, and I made the change, so it should be ok now. Yes, that is me sneezing and coughing :smile:
Thanks for playing!
Thanks again to everyone for the votes and comments. I will play and rate your games as well.
I am thinking of continuing development of this game, and I appreciate the encouragement.
Nice creepy vibe... fun to play.
Loved the ragdoll effects. Nice, enjoyable game. I really liked playing this.
Fun... in a creepy sort of way!
Nice game. Agree that there should be a way to to restore life or have power ups like speed or rapid fire. Good start, and fun to play.
Loved it! Nice, relaxing game. Even though you had to try a few times to complete the level, you are never frustrated... you *want* to finish. Great job.
Wow, nice! Love the music, the effects, and game play. Not as easy as it looks though! Well done!
Very close to stopping play since it seemed to repeat itself, but then there you are! I had to try a few things to continue on in the game since it wasn't apparent how to accomplish movement in certain cases, but keep on playing. Reminds me of an old early 80s vibe.
Wow! Lot's of fun. I enjoyed playing your game. The planet movement is nice, music is great. Really sets the mood.
Very nice! It was a bit difficult to pick up the protons and neutrons. I noticed I could zoom in/out so I zoomed in to pick them up. It made it a bit easier.
Nice take on an endless shooter.
Simple design, challenging game. Nice job!
Fun and funny game. Nice job. Enjoyed getting those seals off my island!
Fun to play. I didn't really use the jetpack too much though. Nice parallax scrolling effect!
Nice take on a classic game. I got to the end and then the next level, the car just sat there... oh well, I guess Dad had to stop the car afterall :grin: Nice graphics too.
Perhaps turn this into an "endless runner" type of game... see how far Dad can drive.
Very nice. Graphics and music makes the game a relaxing experience even though there is a time limit. Some of the levels are difficult to solve, but persistence gets you there. Congrats on a nice game.
Congrats... this is a great first entry. Simple design, simple graphics, but a fun and challenging game. It took me a while to understand that grabbing other colors would lower the one you are trying to get. Once I understood that, it was a pleasure to play.
Very nice game... graphics and sounds are awesome. Looks very polished. I did have a little difficulty finding the gray dots to eat... seems like they didn't' stand out so I forgot about them.
I liked the outline glow effect of the objects... kind of Tron-ish. Although the controls are easy to use, it was a bit difficult to determine perception when jumping to a new tile. I think that this could be a fine game with a little extra polish.
Killed 600+... not bad! Funny sounds effects made the game for me. :smile: Great gameplay, but man there's a lot of 'em after awhile. Congrats on your first entry.
I got the square stuck on an edge once, but overall, this game is fun to play. I liked the movement and jumping effects. Nice game!
Short, yes, but very nice. Maybe I'm just a spaz, but the movement was difficult for me. I also boxed myself in a couple of times, and had to figure out how to restart.
I liked the concept and the ending was great. It was fun to play
Nice game... nice graphics and sound. I also agree that AI for a single player mode would be a great addition.
Nice! The critical failure sound effect cracks me up as well. Nice game... I found myself playing quite a few times.
Game has potential, but I was a bit confused as to what to do. Perhaps a introduction level that walks you through game play? I did like the concept.
Nice puzzle game. I only got about 320 so I don't know if I understand all the rules of the game, but I did enjoy playing. Nice "quick" game that would be great on mobile.
Ah, press the help button in the top corner... that helps! :grin:
Overall, I thought this was a weird game, but lots of fun to play. The music adds to the mood. Took me a while to understand what's going on, but I guess that is part of the charm!
Good concept. Jumping takes a bit to get used to, but overall it's a nice idea. Good job.
Nice game... fun to play! I liked the audio and visuals. Good job!
Interesting way to make a game... impressive. Movement and colors give it a level of difficulty. Nice!
Took me a bit to "see" the graphics, so my first few tries were terrible.
Once I saw the blood and picked them up, the game was enjoyable. I got how to play and it was a lot of fun.
I do like the classic Gameboy feel, but for some reason it is a bit difficult to see everything... maybe because the color scheme or the large blocky graphics?
Overall though, it's a great entry. Congrats!
Thanks to everyone for playing!
Thanks to all that played and provided feedback. I am thinking of continuing development and the feedback really helps!
@deadlyalive Thanks for your suggestions! I will definitely consider them, and I did have some of the same ideas for a post-LD release. I'm also thinking of adding different power-ups and different enemy types.
Very nice! I loved the music and robotic instructions. Graphics were great and the level design was very well made... just enough power to complete a level some times!
A very nice Missile Command -like game. I liked how each shooter tracked the mouse pointer until it crossed the middle of the screen. Nice work.
This game made me laugh! Great job. I enjoyed it a lot... didn't know cats can do that :smile:
Nice dark mood. Graphics, sound, and music were well done.
Nice job! You captured an early 90s feel that I remember when playing Commander Keen and other games like that.
I admit, it was a bit difficult for me to follow exactly what I was supposed to do, but I think your concept was well thought out. As stated above, voice overs are cool!
Nice game.. great graphics, music and mood. I did have some difficulty with the controls and understanding exactly where I was in the maze though, so I could not complete it.
I think I understand the concept, and it's a pretty unique game. Nice job, I enjoyed playing. I think perhaps the coins can be distinguished a bit better so I know what the values are. I was clicking on coins until the king started moving again.
Love the mood, audio, and simple controls. I enjoyed playing. Congrats on a great entry.
Nice interpretation of the theme... reminds me of the point and clicks of the late 80s. I like the voice overs as well, and it looks like you spent a lot of time on the story. Well done!
I love a good Dad joke... I never thought of this concept. Very clever! :grin:
I also had a difficult time understanding what i needed to do, but I did like the sounds, graphics, and end screen. I think in-game player walk-through would really help, and I look forward to checking out any post-LD updates.
Nice job... interesting concept, and humor. Takes a lot to keep this baby running!
I loved it... great mood in this game. I wanted to play this all the way to the end. Congrats.
Nice platformer. Get's hard pretty quick, but maybe it's just me. The graphics are well done.
Nice game. I think this would make a great 2-stick controller game since the key combinations always gave me a problem. Nice pixel art.
This is a great game... I really wanted to finish, and I think I got pretty far, but it was getting a little frustrating falling off of platforms since I could not make out where the boundaries were. Perhaps a wee but more light? :smile:
You captured a great mood. I also have to check into Amazon Polly!
Nice idea. I like the concept.
I did notice what I think is a bug... when I click to restart, i cannot move the green cell and no red cells come toward me. Seems like it is frozen.
I did find myself playing your game a few times... it was nice. I did walk around a bit and didn't really find anything... am I missing something there? Buying/selling/destroying was fun, although I'm not great at these games, but I did manage to get to Day 2!
Once I read you comment on what to do with the kites, I replayed the game and I loved it. I kept running out of fuel and didn't see a way to energize at first :smile:
Music, sounds, and graphics were very nice. Deciding whether to fight or avoid is clever too.
Nice job!
Fun little puzzle game... some levels are perfectly challenging. I liked the squish sound effect when you die.
I'm not 100% I understand when to click (or tap)... I did get a better score when I clicked while the rings seemed to get smaller, but... I still enjoyed playing! It was fun. Nice graphics, music, and sound. Congrats.
Fun game, but I do agree that either better graphics or more effects would help it a bit. I am not really sure where the running out of power theme really fits, but I enjoyed playing.
Nice use of lighting effect. Congrats on your first entry... very nice!
"The cake is a lie"
I like the hand-drawn style of graphics for the cat and mice. I think with some additional enhancements and "power-ups", this could be a real cool, and different, game. Nice work!
Loved it! I think you captured a great late 80s feel with sound, music, and game play. Congrats!
Wow! Very nice. Played it a few times and finally got how to collect a lot of power balls. Great fast moving game.
I also liked the music and the background seems to change every other game. Nice touch!
Clever and funny! Nice job. Lot's to manage... just like a real LD!
Nice creepy feel. Congrats!
Funny and fun, no matter what your political stance is. I enjoyed playing!
Interesting and fun idea. I liked the style.
Nice job. I was a bit confused as to exactly what I needed to do since the batteries faded away so quickly, but once I got it, it was fun to play. I did manage to get that guy sliding pretty fast though!
I liked it... reminds me of the old mainframe type games I played so many years ago. I was a bit confused on what to do to at times though. I got to a point where none of the buttons were highlighted so I could not do anything... not sure if it was something I did good or bad.
I agree with others that with a few UI tweaks, and perhaps some sort of in-game instruction, this could be really cool. Congrats!
I liked the concept, but I was also a bit confused to exactly what I needed to do. After a couple of games, I think I understood. I liked the game, and I think with some sound effects, and a bit more defined graphics, this could be a nice shooter. Congrats!
Three great classics are great... play them all at the same time and it is really requires some planning. Nice sound and classic style graphics. Interesting concept.
Thanks to everyone for playing!
@corc0... good point! I think changing the power up key is a great idea.
Twin-stick shooter is correct!
Thanks again to everyone for your comments.
I do agree with the folks who stated that 8 directional firing should be improved to full 360 degree, and I plan on releasing an update once the voting has ended.
Nice retro graphics! Enjoyable to play.. congrats!
I had a bit of difficulty with the controls. Up was right and left was down. It made it a bit hard to play, but what I did see, I liked.
Nice game, nice graphics. A bit of sound, and perhaps a way to see the full map before you play the level, and you have something. I also agree that this would make a good mobile game.
Nice word game... graphics and game play are smooth.
Nice game... love the smooth scrolling. You have to be on your game to advance, which increases the pressure.
I did get one crash for some reason though, but it happens :grinning:
Great game... I really liked playing this one! Love the concept, the music and graphics. The power ups are great for killing but bad you you in the long run... interesting idea. Congrats on a great game!
I have to admit, when I saw the game, I had to laugh. This is a pretty unique idea... congrats. The help screen was a bit hard on the eyes, but the concept is easily understandable.
What a cool game! Great concept, very funny. Nice smooth motion event with tons of crabs on the screen. Music adds to game play as well.
Congrats on a very well done entry!
It's harder than it seems, and that's pretty cool... it really makes you think ahead and quickly. Nice concept. I do agree that pieces should not be destroyed by glancing moves.
Cool take on a classic shooter. Not bad for your late start. I agree that in the beginning the ship moved a bit too fast... I think there is a point where having some goop on your ship is optimal for movement.
Took a while to understand what I needed to do, but I saw that the things need to occur when instructed. I also did not notice any real performance issues with the web version.
Great game... gets tough after a few hits of cholesterol. Suggestion... perhaps a way to shrink the blob? Congrats on a solid entry.
Scored 14,119 here. Pretty cool game and fun to play. I think a visual indicator on what power up you have would help. I sometimes drove myself directly into the spikes when the power up wore off.
Nice creepy feel... congrats! I played a few times and was killed pretty quick, but one time I got much further. I agree with another comment that perhaps easing into the game would make it a better experience, but overall it definitely was a fun game to play.
I also agree with a stamina bar, but even without it, it's a solid entry. Congrats!
Loved the sound effects! This game screams "I need rapid fire!". Well done!
Nice game... I like games like this, and I enjoyed playing a few games, and I think with some additions (if you plan on continuing development), it would be awesome.
My suggestions:
- Display a score and high score table - Faster & more intense music when more enemies come in. - Power-ups
Cool concept... love the death scream :smile:
Pretty solid entry... congrats. Fun to try to improve your score.
Nice game... I enjoyed playing a few rounds. I think maybe some sort of rapid or continuous fire may help... lots of mouse tapping!
I'm old enough to remember playing Pong... although without the pop-ups :smile:. Still fun!
Even though the models were simplistic, it works! Nice game, fun to play. Interesting concept.
Click, click, click! My mouse got a workout to be sure. I actually called in sick several times as well. :smile:
Lots of fun to play. The voice over and sounds effects were funny, concept was interesting and definitely matched the theme. Good job with your entry!
Thanks to all who have played and commented so far. I appreciate all the comments.
@nerobius I thought of the same thing. I originally had the aliens restricted to the paper parts, but it quickly bogged down the game play. After all, if alien ships can get here, they probably discovered a way around that :smile:
@andre-van-zuydam @dominic-graziano @brallex @nerobius @zombie-virals @kyle-kaehler @lauren-kaehler @ratherjolly Thanks to everyone for playing my game and for the kind words! I am glad you enjoyed Johnny's Flipbook :smiley:
@candlesan @matt-tuttle @annoyedcactus Thanks for your comments on the ship movement. I did tweak a bit during development to make the ship more responsive, and I was going for a "space-y, reverse thrust to move" feel, but I may have to revisit it.
@moonlightbomber @suchista @ely-shaffir @oddeyed Thanks for playing... glad you liked it.
@oddeyed I'll check into the bug when the player crashes into a ship... thanks for letting me know.
Finally got the hang of the controls! Quite challenging as previously stated. Nice GW-type of game.
It took me a try or 2 to figure out that there were boxes in each corner, since the field of view is a bit tight, but once I did, I got pretty far and enjoyed playing and stacking!
I really liked this game and the concept. Really nice, clean design. I loved the rabbit animation... well done!
Maybe it's me, but I could not find what words would cause the rabbit's death, but maybe that's the idea. A little polish, sound background audio, and this could be a very nice app.
Background made it harder to play... and that's ok! :smile:
Nice throw-back to the golden age of arcade games. This would be a good start for a "Scramble"-like game if you add some enemies, etc.
"I'm on it!", and I loved it. Very nice puzzle game... gets very challenging. Nice graphics and audio compliment the game. well done!
Fun to play. I was a bit unsure when or why I needed to expand the board... then I saw the diagonal pieces. :smile:
Solid game play, well done!
When I saw this was a game starring a capybara, I had to check it out. Glad I did! I laughed a bit while playing this. Funny story, funny premise, nice graphics and sound... well done!
Harder than I thought, but a lot of fun! Background party noise and humor really worked well. Loved the art style.
Fun game! Nice graphics and audio, game play and movement was pretty smooth. Congrats on a solid entry.
Fun! Getting used to the "floatiness" of the space man is challenging, but not frustating. Nice pixel graphics and funny audio.
Simple concept, simple graphics, but very challenging and additive. Nice job.
Nice start! Continue development, and I think this could make a pretty nice mobile game.
Nice game overall... I liked the graphics and sound, and the wee bit of parallax scrolling for a great effect. Congrats on a solid entry.
Well, I played a little and it was fun, but as stated above, there are some bugs. I also could not restart the game without closing the app and re-running.
All of this is ok though... it's a great start, and I think with a bit of work, this can be a great game. You have a decent core, just... get to work! :smile:
Cool version of an endless runner. The running animation was very nice. Audio was great. It did start a bit slow, but to me, this was ok, since it allowed me to get the feel for the game. It does get faster and more challenging.
Very nice! Graphics are awesome. Good job... very impressive!
Fun to play! Nice graphics and sound, and the game fits nicely with the theme. I think a visual health & shield bar would help me quickly see how close I am to dying.
Congrats to a fellow King Crimson fan!
I spent some time with this game, and it was quite enjoyable. Nice interface and graphics. Makes me want to come back and spend more time playing a few more games. Congrats on a nice entry.
Very nice. I loved the graphics and sound, and the noises made when ossan touch each other. Very unique game... congrats!
Simple, yet challenging! I had a couple of really bad games, but after the third game, I got the hang of it, and got much further. Interesting concept, and fun to play!
Fun to play... Very nice graphics and audio!
Nice retro art and audio. I have to admit, I was a bit confused with what I had to do at first, but after playing a few games, I believe I got it.
Nice Lunar Lander type of game. Graphics and sounds are very good.
Nice puzzle game. The puzzles are quite challenging the further you get into the game. Graphics and audio work well. For some reason it took me a few tries to realize that the orange boxes could be moved :smile:
Simple and fun... nice job. I got to Level 5... I also noticed an impossible situation... maybe the randomness should avoid that area around the trophy for a bit? Or maybe place the trophy in a random position each level. Either way, it's a nice start.
This would make a nice twin-stick shooter, although it does work well with a mouse for shooting. Nice graphics.
I'm agreeing with the masses here... simple, yet fun and challenging. Nice job! A mobile version would be cool.
Nice concept, and I think this is a good start to a game that can be improved a bit. I like that the bullets stay on the screen ad roll over... makes you really think and plan your shots.
A little audio, perhaps an on-screen score display, and some animation when the enemy blobs warp in would help.
Very nice. Great graphics, sound, and special effects. It kind of lulls you into a calm zone for some reason. I think this would make a nice mobile game.
@purpledartfrog @craftlord @alex-kpojb @oddsocks @eduardo-yukio @enjoy-the-tale @martynas @cubicode
Thanks to everyone for all the comments... I will definitely check out your games!
@good-enough Great ideas for improvement! Some cool ideas to consider! Thanks!
@baby-dino-herd @marcus-gambit Thanks for the comments and for your suggestions on how to improve the game!
@mika-la-grand Actually, that must be a bug... the demon can kill the wizard, but should not while moving in/out of the scene. I'll check the code. Thanks!
Wow! This game is great... so much fun to play. The hammers coming after the piggy is humorous. The levels are challenging. Graphics/audio/music is well done. By far, the best game I played so far... congratulations!
A great take on Robotron... loved it! Same look and feel of the arcade game. Would be great as a twin-stick shooter. Nice take on implementing the theme into this gam.
I like the art style you used. Interesting ways to die and the commentary is funny! Nice job.
Has a nice retro feel. Fun to play!
Wow! This game was great... I played a lot of levels and had a flashback to the Doom/Half-Life era. Congrats on a great entry!
I always make bad decisions in games like this :smile: but I found it interesting. It's a cool concept and I encourage you to dive back into development to add all the stuff you wanted before LD time ran out.
Nice puzzler. Was it just me, or was the beginning a bit dark? Audio and graphics were nicely done... put you in the right mood, and the puzzle was challenging.
Pretty good start to a zombie shooter... i think a more texture background would help me... it did not look like I was moving at first until some zombies entered the screen. This is a solid base for continuing development.
Very well done... nice graphics, smooth movement. Impressive that you used your own engine! Had a nice retro "Doom" feel to it, which I enjoyed.
I had a bit of a difficult time trying to control the player at times, but I think understood towards the end. Nice shooter/twitch game. The effects were very nicely done. I enjoyed playing a few games... you packed a lot of stuff in there!
Looks and sounds beautiful... congrats. I like that you can flee a battle at any time, since some weren't going my way :smile:
Gonna agree with most around the combat system, but I liked the game in general. If you decide on a post-LD release the story can slowly be introduced to extend play-ability. I think this is a good start.
Nice game, nice concept. I also could not active the button, even when the bag was full of coins... not sure if I am doing something wrong. Nice graphics and audio.
Very fun. Loved knocking the enemies off cars :smile:
Great Frogger-like game!
Graphics and audio were very nice... I encourage you to continue development to get all the features you wanted in there. I think this is a good start to a nice game.
Graphics and sounds/music are very well done. It took a bit to get used to the z-x-c keys, but once I remembered, i got through a bit further. Nice entry!
This would make a great mobile game... loved the concept and the puzzles.
Nice story... I got to see the sister. I assume that's the good ending? :smile:
This puzzle game has great potential... work on more levels! Would make a great mobile release. Only 2 levels, but I enjoyed playing, and I wanted more.
I actually liked your game a lot. I see that people feel it is a bit difficult, but I believe that falls around the controls... it seemed a bit slow to respond due to the "step-like" movement. I think the levels were laid out very well, and the guillotine was a great feature.
OMG! Thanks to everyone for letting me know about the "S" key issue. I just fixed that bug and uploaded a fix. I was testing with a joystick and arrow keys, and completely missed this.
Thanks for playing, and I hope you give a working copy another play.
@sleepystudios D'oh, I forgot the screen shake!!
Very nice game. Challenging puzzles, nice animation and sounds, and a tutorial as well! Congrats on a great entry.
Love the graphics and animation style. Simple, but unique. Fun to play!
Graphics and animation was very well done. Cool take on a classic.
Nice clicker game! Does the water level go down with fast clicks or are you just keeping it from rising? I guess eventually you will drown.
Nice take on the theme. Sound and lighting effects captured the mood. Fighting was awesome... keeping that fire lit was a bit of a challenge when it got darker, but I guess that's the point! :smile:
I really liked playing this... congrats! The rotation movement was slightly difficult, but after a while I got the hang of it.
Very cool game... harder than you would think :smile: Simple, but cool neon graphics sets the mood.
Nice retro feel to a fun game! Checkpoints... yes please! A little audio would be a welcome addition. Nice job on a unique game.
Fun game... lots to think about in order to keep everyone happy. Nice graphics and sounds! Good job!
Nice game... graphics, effects, and sound really set the mood. First mummy was unexpected :smile:
Simple design, yet effective and complex puzzles. A great game... loved the level design, the intros, the music. Very well done!
Took me a few games to get the feel of the controls, but once I got it, it was very enjoyable! Nice graphics, smooth camera!
Simple game done well. Good job! :)
I like the pencil style of the game... very nice. I am glad that the little arrows appears so I remember who can attack who, that's very useful to me. A quick and fun little entry! Congratulations on your first jam!
Wow! I want more!
Nice Limbo style game. You did capture the mood!
Graphics and audio were nicely done. I think a power bar for the power jump would help a little, but this was enjoyable to play. Good job!
@rmheuer Sorry to hear that. It may be because the browser window was the active focus, and not the game window.
@jerry-xu Thanks for the suggestions. These are great ideas.
Thanks to everyone for playing!
@ben-ash @phindiegames @japes Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely consider them for a future release.
@szabe @jaybaus @sophiemae0 @dunderroffe @szatku @davidb @nidrig @zimny11 @rainyday2800 @biancamello Thanks for playing and for your comments!
I'm going to continue playing your games!
Fun game! Very tempting to just crash into the traffic. Nice graphics and effects!
Nice graphics and creepy vibe. I, too, did not really know what was interactable, but I guess that part of finding out what to do. Tentacle Monster was cool, and he did sneak up on me once.
Interesting game and concept, but I also had a bit of difficulty trying to understand exactly what to do.
Awesome game... the graphics, the concept, the puzzles... all work well together. This is a great entry! Congrats!
Nice game. I am not sure if I prefer the auto-centering of the ship, but it does not take away form the playability. Nice audio as well.
Cool game with many options and features. Graphics were very nice.
Very nice! I enjoyed the graphics and audio. Spooky, yet not frightening vibe.
Once I figured out what to do (after reading a previous post here), it was a fun game! :smile:
There's something about the sound and animation of the beast grabbing Lyza that made me want to see it again and again. :smiley: Nice job!
Yeah, the controls :smile: ... but a nice game. Cool idea!
Nice game... the public freak out when you place the mouse over the turtle was probably unplanned, but funny. :smile: Loved the graphics and game play.
Fun game! Intense background music would be a plus. I had a bit of difficulty with the controls, but got used to it. The vector style graphics are really nice.
Cool, classic type top-down. I played a few rounds and noticed the different types of weapon patterns, which I thought was clever.
Wonderful art and music. Nice touching story. Congrats to the team!
A bit more instruction would help, but I think this game has potential. It does have some unique features. Looking forward to seeing a post-LD version.
This does have potential. Simple graphics and gameplay... and that's exactly what the game needs. I did notice that if you hold down the mouse button, the ball launch routine, uh... loops! :smiley: Definitely consider enhancing this game... nice job!
Clever puzzles, nice graphics. Fun to play... looking forward to more puzzles!
Nice graphics, sound, and gameplay.
@gord10ahmet The other colored balls do not have any special meaning.... just for show. They do turn red when dropping though.
@Avi Thanks for letting me know. I think that's gonna happen frequently since these games are not signed. If there is a way to avoid this, I'll try to figure it out. I thought this would not be an issue when downloading from itch.io.
Thanks for checking out my game!
Nice game. Using your own engine is very impressive! Congrats on a well-polished entry.
Brings me back to my time in the arcades in the 80s (yes, I'm old). Nice graphics and sound, smooth game play, even with tons of bullets on the screen. Nice job!
Nice chess-like vibe.
Beautiful hand drawn graphics. Love the art style!
Music was great and really added to the atmosphere. I spent some time just listening to the music and relaxing with the stars. Well done!
Got to about 300 balls before this old laptop started having a little hiccup. Nice time getting as many balls on the screen as possible. Achievements were a great addition to the game.
Very nice graphics and audio. I enjoyed the chillness to the game.
Very enjoyable... fun to play! Loved the audio and graphics. Just enough of a challenge to keep you playing. Congrats on a great game!
Great and unique puzzle game! Great audio and graphics.
Gotta keep the car off the wall for sure! Fun to drive, nice audio!
It took me a while to figure out what to do, but once I did, I really enjoyed playing. I would suggest perhaps an instructions or help screen. I played a few games and finally got some cake!
Fun and funny! Graphics and audio were very nice.
For some reason, it took me a while to understand what to do... I played the HTML5 version, so maybe it's a bit different? Once I figured out when it was my turn, I understood what to do, and went in for the attack. Nice concept. Good graphics.
Simplicity at its finest. I love the retro graphics look and feel. Great audio as well. I enjoyed playing may games... you just want to keep playing. Good job!
Man, this game comes right at you! š
Interesting concept... i am not good at these type of games so i didn't last very long. I could use a bit of a build up before I can mash 2 or 3 keys, but that's me. Well done!
Controls were a bit wonky for me to use... i guess I was expecting PacMan up/down/left/right. Once I "got it" I played much better and enjoyed it. Nice job.
Interesting mash-up of genres. Pretty nice for only 15 hours.
Good job with the theme... I liked Hammer Toss!
It's actually quite nice and fun to play. I like the graphics and audio... reminds me a bit of Mario and Pitfall. I did play a few games starting both left and right. Congrats on a fine entry... this has potential if you decide to keep working on it.
Took a sec to understand how to shoot, but once i got the feel for the controls, I did pretty well.
Nice graphics and audio. Moving to the beat was cool, although I was getting a little confused as to what to do or where to go. Maybe a pop-up or some sort of help system. Nice job.
Nice entry... you have to also think quick in order to get the enemies.
Nice take on Tetris... shooting actually makes the game more challenging. I also saw a few blocks get stuck as well. Nice job overall.
I played it a few times... I wanted to hear the kids and dad audio!
Nice job... enjoyable and fun to play.
Nice job with the graphics and audio... and the name! Very solid Jam entry.
Nice little game... I agree that some background music will help it out. Good job.
Nice concept. I liked the idea and the music made my laugh a bit. I did have trouble finding where the flag was... perhaps hitting tab to highlight both the ball and the hole would help a little?
Enjoyable... but I did notice that the physics were just a bit off. You can catch a ball with the flipper and it just stops instead of bouncing. I think it is an interesting mash-up and could be something cool with a bit more development time. I would consider continuing to develop this.
Interesting and fun concept. I notice that using the M key, the right flipper would stay up, but using the "/" key, it would return to its normal position.
Ragdoll physics and audio made it funny.
Both fun and funny! Good job.
@pavel-goncharov @big-nose
Rats! Sorry about that. I am not sure what is going on with the Mac version (of course it runs here, lol), so I removed it for the time being, but I also added a Web build!! Updated links above.
@big-nose You have to select a laser cannon (1, 2, or 3 selects the blue, green, or yellow cannon). You can then hover over the black ones and they will turn to the color of the cannon if the colors match... ie: green Ballz will show themselves when selecting the green cannon.
@meemog That's a pretty good score! Thanks for playing and for your comments. I'm thinking of expanding this with more powerups at some point... I guess it depends on my final rating whether it's worth it.
@slippers Thanks for playing, and I do agree with your comments. I plan on improving the game after the rating period and making sure the ballz stay within the area of the cannons is one of the fixes I plan to do. I would also like to figure out a good way to reduce the amount of random shooting without frustrating the player.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions!
@sirlich Yes, originally, it was just listening for audio clues, but I found it was a bit difficult, so when you hone in on a Ballz with matching color cannon, the Ballz will give you a visual clue as well.
Thanks!
@aweskybear Thanks! I need to tweak that a little to reduce random fire. Great feedback.
@camden-obertop @mekuire @catanus Thanks for playing!
@chuchugeralt Thanks for playing and for your suggestions... I am thinking of expanding the game and upgrades are definitely something to consider.
@rubixnoob13 Thanks for playing!
Iāll have to check whatās going onā¦ there shouldnāt be that many balls on the screen at the same time, and it should obviously end after the asteroid is hit 10 times. I guess consider it ābullet hellā mode. ::smile::
You are also correct that the lag is a by-product of the web build. Iāll check into that too.
Very unique. My handshaking skills need work I think. Good job!
Love it! I'm old enough to remember when this was state of the art. Loved the retro feel and audio. Very challenging too.
Nice sandbox game... I enjoyed playing around with this for a while. Has potential for a larger release.
Awesome submittal... I had a lot of fun trying to figure out these puzzles. Hints definitely helped!
Unique and fun! I thought the music was pretty cool too.
Nice graphics and sound... really fits the mood. Overall, very enjoyable! Nice job!
Nice game. The music was cool as well. Relaxing, but you get amped up when you see a green signal.
I gotta admit... it took me a bit of time to figure out these controls, but it was worth it. Great puzzle game with unique graphics. Lots of fun!
Poor Timmy was a victim of the pool and the road. :smile: Nice game!
Pretty nice! I like the simple mechanics... just a fun little puzzle game. More levels needed!!
Nice concept... very challenging, but not frustrating. I found myself playing quite a few games. Great job!
Nice puzzle game... graphics and sounds were nice. This is a great start for more levels and increased gameplay. Good job!
I had a little issue with controlling the ship at first, but once I got it, it was very enjoyable. Loved the 80s retro graphics.
Nice intro... really sets the mood for the game.
Fun take on a classic retro game. Graphics and sounds fit the retro theme. Good job!
Even though I couldn't find a signal, I enjoyed trying. Nice audio, fun gameplay.
