Addictive, adorable, lovable, and nostalgic of the platforming in Super Metroid. Basically, I love it; my favorite game so far!

I love this concept and the way the rest of the game is designed fits so well! Wonderful.
Cute cute cute cute cute ^^
I have to show this to all my science teachers now... Love it; inspired!
Great idea (love the funny social commentary there), but some gameplay issues. I would have loved to see the amount of my coins being subtracted from; instead my main goal in this game was to avoid dying from sliding into a house.
A few nitpicky grammar things like "You born" should instead be "You are born"
It definitely achieved the mood it was going for, even if that mood was a saddening, "Life is pointless" kind of message. I'm glad I can type fast, but the line with the numbers in it threw me off!
Addictive. I think this would have done well in Ludum Dare 24: Evolution!
Lol I like it! I kind of wish the characters looked a little less out of place in that background, though. The music is adorable.
Kind of hard to control but very cute!
I'd say that I'm only 15 and that you've thus scarred me but ACTUALLY this is hilarious and I'm showing all my friends ;)
As someone who really loves visual novels, this was an interesting one! The graphics weren't really my taste, but the story was definitely very engaging. Great work!
The art and design blows me away; I am in love with the main character. Isn't she adorable? Amazed.
The art style was so unique, even if the colors were kind of blindingly over-saturated; five stars for mood! These guys deserve their own universe. Would have loved to see even more custom designed things like an HUD/fonts but the important thing in 72 hours was the glamtastic story!
Looks like so much fun! I wish I had an android!
Addicted! I love it! The pressured lines are gorgeous and I wish all drawing games had them.
I adore it!
As a runner who has that one "Celere" on her track team, this is so touching and adorable! I'm totally getting my team to do this during the next relay race. My favorite game so far!
I'm really bad at this game but it's hilarious, and the mood set by the graphics is great!
Kitties! I loved it. I had to choose between saving an Oreo or a Sylvester at one point... ;-; I'm so sorry Oreo!
Wow, I really liked it! I've always wondered what it'd be like to have a mayfly's life expectancy! It's very much an addictive arcade game. I kind of wish the enemies were a more contrasting color from the flies, though. :)
Playing this at 3:00 AM was a baaaaaad idea, but proves that you have created a fantastic, horrific mood!
I suggest the usage of text tags (especially {w} and {p}) to dramatically break up your longer lines of dialogue, as well as a better point of view/scale when it comes to the graphics? Great writing!
It's so retro; I love it! Can the introduction possibly be skipped, however?
The music is fantastic!
That was so much fun!
YOUR ACCENT IS SO BEAUTIFUL~!
I LOVE this game. I'm REALLY addicted. Would love to see you build on it~
You know you're getting 5 stars in Audio, man.
Super fun! I loved it!
I think you have great potential; try working with sprites if your art really bothers you, because making pixel art doesn't essentially require drawing skill to look great. That said, I think that it was relatively great, and I love this music!
This is REALLY cool and super complicated... I'm surprised you did this much RESEARCH in the time allotted. (Unless you knew this stuff beforehand.) Complicated but awesome idea you came up with, and even if people don't really understand it... they can still enjoy a Tetris-y game.
This is so much fun! :D I love this game... and the turtles are so cute~! I love turtles. Little Darwin riding his turtles is so silly, it's a fantastic but simple concept, I love pixel art, and such nice music... you really can't go wrong.
Especially since i have a Mac. :D
...interesting...?
i'm not really sure how to... comment on this game.
I'm playing on a mac~! It's really interesting, and very entertaining. Good concept, but it's a little hard to keep track of everything, or know exactly what impact you're making on the enviroment. Really cool, but some progress meters or something'd be awesome.
At first I was like, "Oh this is a simple game it's probably boring"
And then I was like "Oh this isn't so simple"
And then I was like "Wow this concept is brilliant"
GJ!
Gets pretty easy after a while, but with some expansion, it has a lot of potential!
Simple, short, and fun! :D
Took me a second to figure out, but really awesome! This has a lot of potential. I love it!
This game is so much fun, even if those Mincertrons can be pretty dumb. I guess that's the challenge... I really like it!
This game was hilarious! I got so addicted I was late for camp. Great job!
This game was SO much fun!
It's actually pretty challenging, I think, but my Touhou bullet hell skills kicked in and I dodged those bullets like a danmaku boss! The arcadey feel was awesome, GJ!
You know what would've been cool? 8 bit music. That'd be really cool. :]
Relates really well to the theme, and though it gets a bit repetitive and sometimes the text is hard to read, it isn't bad at all! Good job, innovative concept.
Kind of reminds me of a Touhou game~
That janitor is funny.
I love the music!
Really fun, but I mostly gave up because it was a bit hard on the eyes. I don't know it was just me but the screen seemed to move really fast. That aside, really nice!
LOL.
This was fun, but it could use a few more factors other than climate; like, perhaps changing it so there's food that grows on trees or food that grows on bushes, and if the area has trees the short poggles die, and if the area has bushes, the tall poggles die. (Of starvation) Overall, very addicting!

Man, you never fail to deliver on the funky, ridiculous, wonderfully enjoyable visual novels! Beautiful art with great music choices too! <3

Same situation as mephisto. Am I missing something...?
WhaleCommander by wolfengange 2014-09-01T19:02:00
Running OS/X; it downloaded as a document? lol sorry if I sound dumb but how do I play this?
IGT by cdf121 2014-09-01T19:00:00
Oh cool, I made a Twine game too!
I agree that it'd be better if the music didn't restart with every passage and there were some grammar errors, but the story/game itself was pretty cool! Nice work especially for 48 hours!
Worlds Insight by SelfishGenome 2014-09-01T18:28:00
Smooth transitions, really cool concept, and super fun! I saw an idea like this in a game that was made as a large-scale graduation project by students at Digipen. I agree that the controls are a bit floaty making it hard to platform with precision and the graphics are simple, but overall this was so much fun to play and very innovative!
Co-orbital by Kuchalu 2014-09-01T18:19:00
Super cute! I could see this being really popular as an iPad app to teach kids colors or something; it's just so simple and fun to play with.
Mirror Worlds by malf 2014-09-01T18:16:00
Wow, really challenging and addictive!
A New and Beautiful World by TKia_ 2014-08-31T21:01:00
I've used Ren'py something like 3 times for Ludum Dare, so I'm totally partial to (and in a way, a little more critical) when it comes to Ren'py games!
With that in mind, I hope I'm not being too harsh when I say that I would have definitely appreciated some more customization instead of the default font/theme/etc. It's really not that hard/time-consuming to include a unique font file and to change some color codes, and I feel it really would have helped give the game its own unique look! You can also define color codes as solid color background images, so even if you don't have time to make background art for the 48hr compo, you could always try making the background color change with the story's mood. I also checked out the post-compo version!
Overall, pretty cool, so I hope I wasn't too critical; nice music choices btw!
Universal Love by sbarrio 2014-08-30T23:30:00
I got so addicted to this! Make love, not war!

5 stars in Audio- this music is awesome!
Multidimensional Bull Slaughter by Jani Nykänen 2014-08-26T18:09:00
I love the pixel art in this game! :)
Beyond the Rift by Chaoseiro 2014-08-26T17:45:00
Really cool gameplay! I love how the different type match-ups change the amount of damage you can deal; the graphics/animations are awesome too

Web link doesn't work; Can't play. :-(
3 Connected Worlds by technocf 2014-08-26T17:16:00
I really liked this game! Like 2D Minecraft! I'd be very proud of making this esp in 48 hours.
Sunborn: The tale of connected worlds by Windmill Games 2014-08-26T16:55:00
Really tiny when fitted to my screen, but pretty cool! A Castlevania kind of feel.
Oval Opposites by Kiwiboi 2014-08-26T15:51:00
Ads confused me at first, but when the game started, I really liked it! I can see it being really fun with a touch screen too, maybe even expanded for there to be multiple pairs of orbs of different colors. The minimalism was very pleasing but the audio seemed a little sad. I'd totally play this on my phone!
Connected by ZwodahS 2014-08-26T15:39:00
I really liked the concept after I figured out what I was doing! It got really confusing at some parts though.
Stellarlink Corp by LTyrosine 2014-08-26T05:19:00
Really difficult for me (but I'm not usually amazing at video games or anything!) but the concept is really cool!
Incantation by Danman9914 2014-08-26T05:13:00
I love the graphics to this; I'm a sucker for cultural art style. Incredibly innovative; I'd play this on my phone for hours.
Galaxy Hunters by Konste 2014-08-26T04:25:00
Wow, I loved this! A little rivalry between countries doesn't hurt. ((Dangit, France!)) Once, however, it told me that all artifacts on the planet were found, but I ended up finding another by accident.
Otherworld by Malapropos 2014-08-26T04:15:00
Really cool concept and super pretty! Love the stylistic choices with this
Monster+Connect! by saguaro 2014-08-26T04:05:00
I'm partial to visual novels/dating games, but no, really, I actually LOVE this game. My kind of humor, too. Splendid! Wish the health didn't go down so fast, though; I'm not that good at this if you can't tell! :-)
