Solid and polished. WebGL version worked great for me, one of the few games that worked well on my 21:9 monitor after clicking fullscreen. The dissolve shader effect rules, now I need to figure out how to put that in one of my games someday...
Text to speech has come a long way! I had to give up on the level with 10 babies.. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?!? Really good entry, very educational about nature. I'd have liked a way to arrow-shoot babies without needing the stomp. (just to save time) Nice to see Flash still kickin'
I like how this tells a "story" via gameplay mechanics and gives the player the privilege of figuring out and understanding what's happening.
Great use of the theme, fling mechanics and "slymeing the wall" felt great.
Hmm, looks like you made everything, why wasn't this submitted as Compo instead of Jam? (maybe you needed the extra day of time?) In any case, nice job, glad I can finally play a game that realistically reflects the timing of my real life love making. I feel like up arrow should be an alt for jumping.
I really like this, difficulty and how long I lasted seemed about right. (Yeah, diagonals were the death of me) High score on the main menu still said 0 even after I did pretty dang good (in my pathetic estimate) so either a bug or personal insult, unsure 😏
I like holding down the ENTER button and feeling like god as levels are created and destroyed at my whim. As for the game, it feels solid but I feel like I'm missing something because I never got close to the stairs
Excellent. I couldn't jump back up after going to a lower area on level three, unsure if level design issue or old person's lack of platformer skills
Really polished and a nice challenge. My best is only 4 chicks, but that could be because the anim of seeing them die is fun
Satanic rituals and Santa really do go together well. One idea for possibly more strategy is if the size difference in cookies made a bigger difference in points they gave. Cookie size could get larger the farther away from the sacrificial circle
I won! Interesting how it's a persistent (or using a deterministic seed?) number map instead of random each time you tap up and down, so you can't like cheat until you get the # you want.
Learned a lot!
Cool. I feel like it didn't really get harder as time went on, maybe it should ramp up difficulty faster, or I felt like I could play forever. Endless runner indeed
Fantastic game and nice meeting you a few hours ago in Kyoto! Thomas told me he only slept for a few hours during the 48! Wow, that's dedication.
Really nice. I didn't immediately go "well, these levels are random" so good work on the generator. :)
Interesting concept. Liked the art but I got really confused by the interface... all I could figure out how to do was shut off a program and end the phone call. The intro REALLY needs to be skippable!
Very cool game. Definitely hurt my brain on those later levels. Thanks for the credit :)
Interesting and I like concept. I think it work work better if you could move in the air while you jump. The way it is now you have to do these super "quick taps" to do jumps right that left me frustrated a bit.
This is fun. Thoughts:
1. Later levels use more than two buttons!?!
2. Restarting lets you continue where you left off, maybe a testing thing you didn't mean to leave in
3. People who've worked jobs where they had to enter credit cards #s with keypads will do great at this game (I have!)
I think I would like this but I'm dumb, I can't get out of the lake to the right. I must be missing something
Really impressed with all the options and holy cow, a tutorial? But to be honest I quit early because the dang "Next day" button was soooo slow.
Nice style on the artwork. Gameplay seemed a bit slow and I never found more kinds of seeds to plant, maybe that was it or they show up later, unsure.
Cool art
Suitably creepy. I didn't have the patience to get through the whole face, maybe if there were some other mechanics/sub goals at play also...
Nice package, really liked the music!
I couldn't quite get to the ghosts!! Neat experience
Very nice, never played anything quite like it. I have to admit, I don't know how I passed the last level though, I was just moving things around and it completed?!
R.O.B. needs some guns
Alas, I was unable to end the curse due to my limited bullet hell skills
From reading the comments it appears I gave up too early. Now I'm haunted by what this game is really saying about me... Hmm
Very unique and cool experience. Enjoyed
Awesome
HARD!
Love the look of this. Was a bit confused that only one guy moved when taking a turn (I set movement on all of them).. never trust us to read the readme.. :) But now I get it.. and ruled the kingdom!
I found the green block!!.. at 0% life, phew, close call. Anyway, I really like the variety here and am impressed that you could do all those games in 48h. I do REALLY wish you'd just had 15 min to sfxr up some emergency sounds though, it would seriously make a HUGE difference.
I loves me some science
Great idea and even better sfx. I couldn't get Oorg to move at all on level 5 though. Ran fine on my win7 64 bit system.
Needs a bit more polish but kudos for digging into an ambitious idea like this
WHAT IS THE GREAT ANSWER? This is a comp entry, so where's the source code, I was going to cheat with it to figure it out.. :P
Excellent and addicting. My hats off to you, sir
Great entry, lot of fun
You can THROW your head at people. I approve. I found the controls just a bit complicated, I think just tapping shift while near ANY body part should have automatically fit it your body in the right place if applicable, as it currently is, it's a bit overwhelming to do during battle.
I learned a lot of science through this, primarily that little monkeys are the best fighters in the world
Great mood and mechanics, but needs some re-balancing, in its current form it is as brutal as real evolution and requires as much time!
Wow, short and sweet. Nice experience. Love that art.
This is a good, complete, suspenseful dungeon crawler. Made it to the end boss on level 3 but he's tough! Theme seemed to be "piss your pants in fear" and not evolution though.
Had to use the full installer, guess I didn't have XNA 4.0 yet. After that it worked fine on my Win7 64bit system. Well, I won the game, was fun leveling up my little guys, but seemed to be over too quick, didn't really get a chance to evolve them much. Cool.
Really a lot of content for 48 hours, 7 levels? I beat the dragon but quit accidentally.. damn it. Too bad companions evolution was only cosmetic, could've used some help fighting those baddies.
Congrats on doing something ambitious, it's a neat experience to be able to pluck 3d body parts off the ground, stick them on your head and create a dragonbeast with 5 heads that shoots crazy and moves fast. Well done, sir.
As someone who grew up in a YEC household and DID hand out chick tracks I found this particularly hilarious. I've also met Ken Ham, the curator of the museum! Yeah, he's a loon.
Took a bit to figure out the "manual mode" is to be flipped on only for as quick as possible to do course adjustments. After that level 1 was a breeze. Level 2 I failed until I hit P to adjust rotation speed... (cheating I guess?) Level 3 I gave up, looked impossible! Great intro and cool idea.
I defeated everyone! I like that the pig butt has a "Lazy ass" attack.
Aw yeah, I could see ChuckDar is an action hero fo sho. Gameplay is a bit hard, only could get the first gun upgrade. High audio points for working that wilhelm scream in.
Finally, I was able to win an LD game
Well done classic RPG style!
I just can't pass the car scene, which you had a key to skip a scene just so I could see the rest! Really like the mood here.
Not seeing the theme in this really, but it's really amazing. Art to die for, and the controls are great. Yeah, couldn't pass round 1 either. Stupid bombs.
I don't know if it's just my play style or what, but I constantly would walk one way, turn around, eat something, turn around and keep walking, repeat. Very tedious.. !
I walked around and did stuff, neat. Bit laggy, but hey, it worked!
Tiny indeed. The problem with browser zoom (firefox) was the arrow keys would cause the page to bounce around. I won the game nevertheless, nice job.
Came for the violence, stayed for the funny texts
Yeah, like others said, the visual feedback to what is happening needs to be clearer, as far as I could tell, I couldn't die and some monsters took multiple hits, and some couldn't be killed at all. So hard to know if that's a bug or we just need a life-bar on screen. Like the zelda like exploration though.
Cool .. collision was a bit shaky, kept getting stuck.
Didn't quite come together, hope you keep working on this one.
Not clear enough how to play and setup units needs some polish!
Great job.
Cool... it's like ascii towlr, more than meets the eye...
Finish it! Reminded me of old school BBS games.
Yay, a Proton based entry! Solid box2d integration.. Hard mode should be renamed "the most fun mode". Hopefully by next LD Proton will also be targeting Flash...
This is a neat game play experiment for 5 hours of work. If you end up polishing it up, I'd suggest letting the player use water tiles when trapping enemies... would help for when they get stuck in a corner.
Hmm, reminds me of pole position.. :) Game play seems balanced pretty well, interesting strategy involved.
Needed sound!
That was one crazy looking wall.
Great idea, the lava partitioning could use a little more visual feedback, for instance, maybe show "where" the lava is going to go in the next phase, and maybe a timer showing when.
I'd suggest the levels should start easier and simpler, perhaps requiring only a percent of sheep to be saved... because, well, it's fracking hard
I think the game mechanic of collecting speed pellets works but the controls feel a bit sluggish and slow. That's a hell of a multiplier, btw.
I see where you're going with this, but it really needs more work done to see how it's gonna feel...
Ok, why am I dying? I saved the little bastards, but I still die?!?! NoooOOOO! Damn you power point.
This is not bad at all! Once I figured out that matching the letters AND colors were where the points were, it got interesting.
Two simple changes that I think would helped:
1. Don't use letters. It sort of screamed "word game" when it wasn't, shapes, or animal icons would have been better.
2. Cosmo system. Maybe consider a full match (shape + color) a "tetris" of sorts and raise the a multiplier for each one...
Solid game, something satisfying about watching little pixel man get steam rolled. Good sfx for it. 471 on easy
I had to use the Jach hack to fix the freezes...
Nice game idea, but because I only scores 18 I'm pretty sure it's not properly setup to be framerate independent.. I mean, I'm not that bad, right?!!
67 seconds!
The game was ok, good idea, but a bit too hard and unrewarding in its current form.
I had more fun looking over source code and wanted to thank you for leaving such informative and helpful comments.
Such as, "DIS WHERE DA SHITS REALLY AT BITCH" from functions.cpp.
In fact, I've issued you an award, my good man.
Hmm, I start the game, hear a beep and see some red circles but then it crashes. Python 2.6 under vista.
I was victorious! too bad you didn't have time to add more stuff, lot of possibilities here
Ok, some random comments..
Sorry, but I have to give this a frackin' 0 in originality.. ;)
Like others have mentioned, yeah, good and bad power-ups should be obvious by color or something, especially since you don't show in text what they did.
I didn't pass level one, it was just taking too long.
A possible balance thing you could have done to make this more interesting would be having all blocks slowly moving down (think space invaders) but not spawning more, possibly bigger but less blocks.
Nice art and sounds, although there seemed to be a 300 MS delay with sfx, maybe a pygame thing on my sound card.
Excellent work, I had to hand out a lot of fives here. and liked the Warhol pic as well :)
I like the gameplay, difficulty seemed about right. Note for others, when you see that little processing icon in the window, it means it's silently loading, it takes a while... really needs a loading progress bar or something.
Also, it didn't seem to want to finish loading under Firefox, but IE 7 worked.
In most of these LD games, we get the mechanics working at the last minute than spend like 3 minutes designing levels, but your game surprises.. there is an assload of content!
I'm proud to say I won.
That music is.. well, not music. ;)
I get "failed to load plugin C:...Tempcap6B.tmp4.csx (126)" under vista64 with the latest DX/Net/XNA/Yourmom installed. I really want to try this, any ideas?
36314 pts, beat that. Wish I had a demon wall in real life
I couldn't pass level 2, I really suck... I get the idea I needed to fan the flames over to the right side but couldn't quite make it happen.
Cool idea
Great game :) I got pretty far but gave up on the one where you had to get a bunny to take a carrot from the other side of the wall..
Really nice pushing/movement feel.
This is one of my favorite games... lot of elements come together nicely.
More levels and internet highscores would rule if you're going to keep working on the post-comp version...
But let's be serious, the scientist should be worth more than a mere politician.. think of his value in the post-apocalyptic world!
Amazing how many different little games you crammed in there... my only complaint is some of the sfx seemed too loud or screechy, like this metallic pop that kept happening while I was attacking the chopper.
This is really good... I couldn't quite click fast enough to pass level 5. Good progression of difficulty with the levels.
I would have liked to see perhaps some kind of indicator to show a weak wall, like pulsing red or something.
Nice game, music added a lot!
Very cool idea... I need a friend to play this with to really see it in action. Too bad you ran out of time before doing AI!
Neat concept and background plot. I think the problem with the middle being a bit tedious could be helped by maybe some kind of super-power that you can build up and temporary use for super strength or something...
Wow, great entry with some really funny moments.
1. You REALLY should finish this up with SNES-like music and sounds, that would add so much
2. Now I'm really curious as to what the "unintentionally offensive wording" was!!
Same here, only worked once. I killed 3 out of 10 balls...
Stupid bats. I'm giving this a 5 in journal and timelapse, because I know your Behind The Dumb ep is going rule
This was punishing (damn you, saw blades) but I won it... that was a very catchy song you created by the way, don't think I'll get that out of my head.
Could have benefited from tweaking difficulty a bit, but that could be said for pretty much every entry I guess...
Excellent arcade action - I survived like 1:16, but only because I found out a sort of cheat - drive by the screen edge, easier to survive..!
Some air-wolf music or something would have really added to it.
I think you should have had "Press Entar" to start. I'm probably alone on that one though.
Wow, an 80's flashback in so many ways... I think you really nailed the difficulty, but agree with the others about having a shadow would be nice to help time jumps.
I don't know why you had the time to add those walls you break though but that totally made the game!
Cool vibe, love the art. does the level ever end?
Wow, It's totally amazing that in 48 hours you made something that we probably would have all blown $35 on for our NES in the early 90's.
Like the real gradius, bit too hard for me.. nice old school intro
The Old Crowley Mansion is a dangerous place indeed.
I like how the walls didn't insty-kill you but had a chance to escape before being crushed against something.
Once I needed three keys on that one level I sort of just gave up.. too maaaany walls! Nice backstory, added to the experience.
Pretty diabolical level design, won the game. I've learned being handicapped kicks ass, thank you my friend.
That red blobby thing looked really cool. I always died before rescuing everybody.. I don't think there was a health indicator anywhere???
Exe worked fine. It is not really a good thing if you can get the high score of your game by putting a rock on the right arrow key.. :)
If you had had time to add (random?) paths/mazes to run through I think this would have been pretty interesting.
28.18 seconds on level 16 btw.
Pretty cool, the tiny collision point of the player and such is dead-on for a bullet hell game.
I think the wall thing might have worked better if the game only used single color bullets for a while, instead of spraying with everything, which for me anyway, made it so ignoring the walls and dodging all over the screen was a better strategy.
Nice looking weapons
Old skool 4-evar. Best timelapse so far. And no it's not fair that you always take damage while fighting.. but sneaky running makes up for it.
I'm slowly recovering from that soul shattering sound loop. The particles were pretty.
I get the MSVCR71.dll error (I got this on a few others too, but it still seems to run for them) and then: File "mainuildmainout1.pyz/pygame", line 52, in __getattr__
otImplementedError: surfarray module not available/ I'll try again when there is a v1.2?
You may be correct in mentioning game balance needs some work. It was fun holding down a key and getting to 6000 HP though!
Great visuals and interesting. I would have liked to see a "speed up time" key so people would move faster. Crashy but still an achievement to get such a neat system working.
5 for theme, salsa!
hrm, I think I have all the required libs installed but I'm getting a generic crash on startup. (vista64)
I think this is a fantastic design, too bad you didn't have time to make more levels.
Great technology, very well done time-lapse vid. Next time take the extra 10 mins to add a few sounds! :)
Hrm, crashes on startup for me. (vista)
Wow, that screenshot from before was actual size I see!! Deep game for something so small, hope you keep working on it.
Not bad but something really annoyed me about the movement, the physics just didn't seem right.
Solid, full featured game here. Very nice. Like inventive scoring display.
Ok, congrats on making the kind of game that pisses people off :) Maybe for Pixelman 4 we could have a continue on same level button?
Not a bad shooter, although I quit when it didn't seem to get harder or end!
cool idea
I got a REAL pop up error about creating the file after I played a game or two..wait.. real or part of the immersion experience?? You've done it again, mr hassey! +1 for the gopher cookies
Nicely done. An another idea to minimize "waiting" would be to add a "game speed 10X" button you could hold down to fast forward. Skate or die, dude.
Neat idea.
(waiting for win build)
that is one SCARY looking chap on the title screen
Was fun killing stuff
I escaped!
Well, the matching is simple, but the planning ahead to have all same size pair frames is eluding me a bit I think.
Hmm.. please take these game controls back to the the 70's where they belong! What next for LD12, punch cards for input? ;) Congrats on finishing the game though.
I think you tie with another game for most frustrating entry, mostly because I really love the idea, .. damn you, minims! Hope you do a post-compo build with more friendly recognition.
less math, more levels! :)
Not really finished but I can appreciate what you were going for. High marks for that pizza pic, yum.
For three hours that's pretty kick-ass.
Nice progression system. Sort of reminded me of how vib-ribbon (a vector art PS1 game) worked. Man, I've never seen so many detailed stats in an LD game!
Go-go Beatronome! Not really a game but I have to credit the awesome music selection that was in it.
All I can say is wow, that's an incredible amount of content/gameplay to whip out in 48, awesome work. Difficulty seemed about right to me.
wait, you learned programming and python during the LD48???!! Ok, I forgive the game then :)
This game has deep meaning - "ateism" must mean the belief that people have eaten to survive in our solar system! I am an ateist! Music had a bit of a scratchy problem, dunno if that's my system or the recording.
Finally, a game not afraid to deal with the important issues of the day!
Clean and smooth. Agree with the others about the waiting. The audio/platform movement relation was strangely hypnotic.
Thanks for the tendonitis, pal!
1290, eat it! :) Should have added a few sounds, come on!
Very playable, good job on not letting grandma slow ya down. Great food pics btw
Poetic!
Great level design, especially liked how the little outboard motor rotated correctly when turning, nice touch. :)
Very cool using .psd's directly for level information. May just have to steal that sometime...
Unfair collision detection! Neat idea.
it's bad enough being 'linked in', staying away from facebook, sorry man.
Yay, I won
Level 4 kicked my butt
I couldn't quite get my gravitated shots to behave, but I think I sort of got it.
Fantastic!
Hmm, it didn't want to work on my vista system. But I will say this, A&W root beer FTW!
Damn U, wide screen bug!
Really like the visuals. As it is now, not very intuitive.
Lovely vector art style. Don't really dig the click and pray mechanics.
Slick game, quite fun, even if level five is a biiotch. The music.. well... what to say. Don't ever use it again. ;D
Apart from the jerky camera, bad controls and sort of un-marble like physics it wasn't bad at all. Nice tunes.
As a game, feels a bit random. Soothing. But I can't stop thinking "vagina" when I play this.
I gave a lot of 5's on this one. Excellent game.
But for crissake, next LD, please think about a "Continue" button!
Slick and great looking. Yeah, bit hard for a lazy guy like me.
Great idea :) Needed more variation while playing, like if you can hold out for a minute, they strip you naked or something. Some kind of progression.
My kind of game.
Simple awesome that a game this polished can be done in 48.
Needed an indicator so you know when the wick was going to be lit.
Best death sound ever.
Great puzzle game!
Somehow that soothing music didn't really work as a sound track to destroying the universe but I liked it. I won the game in < 1 minute, but it was a fun 1 minute!
Well, um, hrm. Clunky GUI. I never saw a missile or an explosion, I must be doing something wrong. I guess I just didn't have the patience to figure out what was going on.
And of course the kiss of death for 48 hour games: Two player only.
Great looking map though, I just wanted to bomb the hell out of that country named butt.
I got stuck on the level 4 or 5, just couldn't quite get the ball to roll across right. Solid stuff though.
(using new build from 22nd) It runs fine but herding crabs is too damn tedious and slow. I mean, I thought cows were bad. I liked killing them though.
Need .exe ya lazy bastid
Damn this game, I just can't figure out how to make the wire actually connect. I mean, I stick it where it looks like it's connecting but nothing happens.
Yeah I'm retarded or whatever.
Sweet story board intro!
Well, at first I turned up my nose and was like "what the hell is fenix, wtf is a .prg?!" but I'm glad I got over my language (?) biggotry long enough to see that this is a pretty nicely designed game. Co-op team, transition to zombie hood and recovery and body parts flying, hard to ask for more.
Fantastic game, not since pitfall and Adventure for the A2600 have you had so much fun spelunking with an extremely pixelated avatar. A delicate mix of relaxing exploring, pulse pounding battles and neat items and powerups to find. The soundtrack fits perfectly.
Tribbles!!!! ARGHGGHGH!!! Excellent
Mr Hassey has crafted a treasure of a game that would amuse even the most jaded pirate. His classical musical training also comes to the rescue with an excellent rendition of turkey in the straw. However, i'm somewhat concerned about this young mans obsession with goats.
While a bit rough around the edges (what is with that lighting??) any game with mowers and small animals is a winner in my book.
I played this to the end and I have to say it's neat, very starcrafty, but the gameplay has a flaw - to win most battles you just need to do the ye-old-command and conquer-gang-up-on-one-unit trick. After combined all your blobs into a super blob it can waste most things.
I gave this top rankings for fun because it's a solid logic game, makes ya think and little things like the character's perfect movement speed and "snap to grid" system for the game pieces make this really shine. The main character is drawn well.
Called by some a modern day picasso, Zoggles proves he's more than a pretty font face today. Armed with VB and an unexplained hate of gophers he masterfully puts together a very original, playable game - although noticably missing was the gopher die anim. With that and some sound this game could spread its software spores to the ends of the earth.
Wisebede enthralls us with his rendition of the classical destroy the zombie theme. It's done pretty well, but difficult, I was unable to pass level 4.
I'm not sure if the humor was intentional or not but the dialog had me laughing, 5 for humor, well done old bean.
Design thoughts: Zombies take 10 or so hits to die, but instead of absorbing the bullets visually, they bounce off, giving the impression that they are invincible! That's just wrong.
pimp'n idea
Interesting concept and it's strangely relaxing.
Neat idea. The system file didn't appear after five minutes of play so I kinda gave up.
Infectrons will give me nightmares for some time, while simple in concept the epix battle of level four was waged long and hard before I finally succumbed.
In a refreshing change from the last ten kill the zombie before they infect everyone games I've played, this little beaut places you in control of a butter knife, but not for stabbing rotting corpses, for spreading lucious looking peanut butter; a worthy endeavor indeed.
Hats off to you Zaphos.
Mark has continued his 48h tradition of cloning Alien Flux magnificently. ;) A well rounded endeavor with a nifty mini map system.
This is one of those games where you go "htf did they do that in 48 hours? wicked!" and so I did. Fantastic!
Very kickass. Couple additions and you could start selling this on popcap tomorrow.
What can I say? Bluescreen is a one man game making army that makes you reevaluate what is and isn't possible in 48 hours. His art and mad coding skills come together for a perfectly blended cup of action and flashy effects sure to amaze.
This game would win the "Could have actually been an atari 2600 game" pelly if there was one. I'm not sure if it's possible to lose. Completeness was hard to judge, because while there were no instructions or menus it's the only came to feature it's own online score system!
Sound is perfect.
I'm sorry to say these so called "roting cubes" did not rotate, thus shattering the illusion.
Gauntlet with virii! I don't know if this was a time issue or I just suck but viri seemed to duplicate faster than I could kill (even at the start) and the only way I could pass levels was have them hit 512 and stop reproducing. So I didn't pass level 3, was taking too long.
They seemed to congregate on one another into giant super globs that I just had to stand and shoot fo long periods of time.
Technically very sound, nice weapons (mad I couldn't see the railgun) and great gameplay.
and.. can slide against walls!! This is a nice tough that most 48 games forget.
The star of this show is the fantastic tunnel effect, reminiscent of the classic "Microcosm" by Psygnosis back in the day. Only this time it's not jerky FMV, it's in your face morphing and such. You never really feel like you're in danger until fifteen minutes later you're instantly killed by a new kind of enemy. The weapon powerups are nice but I missed explosions of some kinds.
Cool rts kind of sheep sim - a bit glitchy but the funny sounds make up for it. :) Control was FRUSTRATING as heck with the wood biters who didn't feel like doing what they were told until they were already next to the wood. Or something. I got to the level with the cameras on the right but I accidently clicked past the story part so I don't know what I was supposed to do and gave up.
The little stories that went along with each level really added to it.
Ok, I'm going to be having sheep nightmares for awhile thanks to this entry. The marching music and hundreds of baa sounds work well and will drive you insane too. It's very cool how you can 'paint' walls on in 3d.
The readme said I could watch sheep explode but in reality it's more like they blow up like a balloon and disappear.
The mouse cursor had some odd problems the more you played, by the end I could only build in 1/4th the screen area. I had a crash while trying to build outside the fence... perhaps that is justice though.
bugboy, very nice. immpressive selection of walls, weapons and enemies for a 48 hour game
To those that haven't played it yet: Be sure to set your volume to max first to get the full effect.
Needs a lot of little tweaks to feel right. It said "use standard fps keys".. that's WASD!! Which didn't work, but yeah I found the arrow keys.
The making platforms by shooting and holding down the button is very innovative.
I thought the sounds were great!
Lowered tech score because of repeated crashes.
Really cool idea. I didn't really understand exactly how the robot programming worked but it was hilarious watching it keep doing funny stuff like bombing his way off the screen.
This is really a unique experience. Like weird dream.
I could not save one darn sheep. I think it's one of those things where if you made it, it's childsplay but to someone else it's really tricky.
Perhaps starting the first level with only one sheep emitter and only need to place one block correctly and gradually raising the difficulty would have made a great deal of difference on the learning curve.
Great music. Show off. ;)
cool map and clicking system. looks like python gets more popular in each contest
Innovative mix of several types of games - graphics style is beautiful. I hate having to quit out because I couldn't lose though! ;)
ah ok, I figured this entry out. Put on Pink Floyds "The Wall" and play it backwards while tapping the right arrow key to the beat!!! It's amazing!!!! Also required is a projection system to beam it onto your dome shaped white cealing.
Interesting and unique, took a while to get the hang of it. Felt 'big' which is pretty rare in a 48 hr game.
This is really an impressive entry, kind of lemmings like strategy with four levels (well.. level 2 doesn't really count..or the Mike level ;) ) and a map editor.
However, I have two beefs that really affected gameplay, fun and overall for me:
1: when shooting a missle right next to a tile the collision detection doesn't work. I almost quit on level 2 because I kept firing missles too close and thought the block couldn't be destroyed. Made the game much harder.
2: There is a one second pause enforced between building 'rainbow' blocks. This does force me to use some strategy but the way level 4 is designed this would be so much more fun without the delay, otherwise I just don't have the patience, takes too long.
Very good graphical look and gravity physics, reminds me of Ultimate Wizard on the C64.
these are the best 3d graphics of the contest. most of the entries don't use normals/vertex lighting.
I really like this entry. Flaws in gameplay but some small rule changes could really help.. for instance a contest to see who could hit the most planes with sheep would have been more of a challenge.
I liked the overall style and presentation of the game.
Strangely addictive
i saw a sheep. then it ran away
pretty sweet, everybody else already said the insightful stuff so I'll just say hi and cya on irc
sweet, I played for a quite a while. the graphics worked very well
Good concepts and I rather liked simple clean graphic style. The big problem was collision detection with the bird is like WAAAAY too sensitive, I couldn't get past that second bird by the hole. And I can't shoot it?? Not fair!
The 2 for cosmetic theme is because I've heard rumors there is a sheep somewhere. I just can't get to it.
This entry screwed up my dekstop after crashing a few times. :(
Block building was cool, but I couldn't figure out a way to build where I wanted to, only where my bullet hit the wall.
I liked it - Very cool graphics and the movement was good, but yeah, I kept getting stuck too. (spawned inside barriers at the start of levels a few times)
So I left it and went to the kitchen for a while and when I got back I was on level 15! It plays itself! Sound was ok but I dropped the score a bit because some of the .wav's were dated from 2000.
I'm voting n/a on gameplay as I couldn't test it with another person, as I understand it that means that part won't be taken into account on the vote.
Great graphics, reminds me of banja chat!
Very strong entry, interesting gameplay. Shooting/explosion sounds would have really been great. Maybe I'm just bad but the computer is too tough for me.. !!
Astounding that you did this in 48 hours!!!
Really neat idea. Isn't really a game, more like an educational title for jr frankenstiens.
Great concept!!! I felt like my sheep was too slow, didn't like having to wait 4 seconds per building to really demolish it.
I heard this weird sound, I thought maybe it was the sound of choppers flying but then looked at my health and it was almost gone.. that was a machine gun sound, right!!
The art style worked perfectly for this type of game. If the construction part had actually been finished this could have been like the old Ghostbusters game in reverse.
very cool. Personally I really liked the low grav control and the jump noise is perfect, I got an atari 2600 flashback, I like how you can hold down jump and go straight to the top of the structure, nice touch.
It was fun killing the sheep.
WOW!!! Coming up with a game that has this many attacks and combos in 48 hours is definitely some kind of record.
I didn't really figure out all the moves, I mostly used dash and wall jump (and button mashing) - this kind of game needs moves introduced by an old man character one at a time so the player gets trained.
I was going to give completeness a 4 because you couldn't get hurt by enemies but then I saw the highscore saving so I'll swing the five.
Cool movement and combo system!
cool. i thought the jumping could use some tweaking
this is really neat. hard. flying sheep amidst swirling colors, it's a software equivelent of lsd. I think the -/+ should have moved a bit faster.
Very funny, great chainsaw sound and some nice animations. If the bombs could hurt the wolf I think that would have made a big difference on gameplay.
To me, ten levels is long, not short. :) Nice job.
Very weird, I like that. But the gameplay has issues.
I like this, finished all the levels. Nice job. Hey, to me, making a bridge
Cool fireball effect

Nice. I got pretty far with keyboard controls but I could see this would be a lot easier if I could get my controller working! (maybe the web version can't do it and should download the win exe, dunno)
