Need to do more games to confirm this : Pushing down again and again is more efficient than placing manually. Spam down and you win... So beware the LORD OF SPAMING !

Don't move if you miss the ball. It ended mix with me and the collision sound loop. Simple concept but funny to play. Now I'm waiting for more levels ^^
I thought it was a relaxing game... But I failed drawing EVERY paint so I laught a lot and failed to relax. Btw what's the relation with the subject of the jam ?
Well... I was expected a gravity game where you build a galaxy... Ended up throwing mass to the blackhole to get points until I got all the upgrades... It would have been fun just to watch the stars orbiting around the blackhole... But he ate all I made :cry:
Interesting idea to use the steam shop in the gameplay... but does steam gave it freely or did you paid a DLC ?
Love the game over ! And that eagle... DAMN LOOK AT THAT BIRD ! Wonderful game, great sounds effect, simple gameplay that is easy to understand. Good job !
I would have love to play it a little bit longer. A second level could have been nice ! The game is not that easy but very well balance. I like the idea of filling your character with light. Beautiful !
Nice puzzle game ! Would have been great if you made it works on time, but btw updates exists for that kind of problems. The sound of your character is far too loud ! Can't listen to the ambiant sounds :cry: . I quit on level 14 ^^
Beware the horde of FLYING ZOMBIES ! Got a bug that throw zombies away from the pack. I think the map is too big for the game. You understand how it worked in a few minutes and find a few paterns of villages quickly, so why this big ? It sometimes feel empty... Btw I won in 13 minutes. Good work !
Nice little game ! Few physics laws broken but it's generally good for a compo. Good work !
Nice game, but without the sound. The falling blocks are a little bit annoying, but I love the concept of trying to survive a brat playing Tetris. Keep on coding ^^
What a game ! I made a pause but I love the beginning. Don't dare to change a thing, this is the best game I have seen so far for this Ludum Dare. Congrats !
Nice atmosphere and concept. I don't like the music (found it oppressive) and the graphisms were cool. Good work. Oh and btw itch.io say that you update it 10 hours ago... Is it normal ? It's far after the end of the Ludum...
Take some time to understand how it works. Nice sound design but way to few things to do... Whould have been nice with more persons on the project. Keep on coding !
I love it ! Remind me an old game i used top play. Great thanks for the sound of the muffin. It made me laught... a lot. At each level.
Some help on the controls would have been nice ! I stop on the level where you got legs, and couldn't find how to finish it, but the game was fun. Good work on the concept and gameplay, but it miss a little music or sounds...
How frustrating to move by small jump. I was like "Ok, so now I need to move juuuuust a little bit and... #!%". I think that moving like a snail would have been strange, but it can work for a slime. Good game anyway, but a music a little bit to short (or too repetitive idk)
I... I create a monster ! All on speed and attack... Would have been great if we got something somewhere to know how to create the paterns (the level > 1). Got some by pure luck. Attention for all who got stucked on the first ennemy killed : Drag the DNA on topscreen to your DNA downscreen
Nice game ! Pass through a wall on level 5 but my objective isn't to find bugs ^^'. Anyway, I love the fact that you paint the level, and like the soundeffect. At the opposite, the music gives the game a mood that I didn't like... A more relaxed music should be cool, because this one is good for reflexion, but the game is like "Hey... you're a sponge... Relax bro and paint the floor".
I like the shape of the characters, but I would have prefer to move in a map rather than a single screen :cry: . Same goes for the hp : why only one ? I had fun anyway so keep on coding ^^
Love it ! It's quite hard but when I died I said "Damn ! F* monster !" and like... 2 seconds after : "You won't get me like that next time. New game !". Simple but addictive. Oh and the flamethrower are beautiful, but the ranged weapons seems more powerfull (advice for other players)
I Love how ennemies dies ! Love the concept of the city destroyed with floting buildings, but i think the graphism or the light management can be inprove to make a real atmosphere. I think the sounds can be a bit better, like on the menu, but DO NOT change the ennemies. Perfect sound when they die, love their color code and design, and again, what a funny way to make them disappear. Pop ! No ennemy anymore ! Lost in the void, eaten by a black hole.
Was frustrated by the last level, but it was fun to play ! Can be way better with paper soundeffects and a calm music. Keep on coding ^^
Hooo... Got a problem on my screen, only got a small red character. Then I choose the full screen, and get the buttons. So for anyone else who want to play this game, choose the fullscreen mode ! I think a little text that explain how to play would have been a huge help, because I try to find out... and I'm still searching XD. So I don't found out how to play, but like the choice you made of making an empire building game. Now I'm waiting for a new version ^^
Interesting idea of possessing the object... So you start with no body, but I would have like to go outside the objects I control. Good lighting, graphism, and sound. But the music is... strange
Well done ! Love the rooms that are unlocked after you progress. I was like "What next ? What next ?" all the time. Touching story too. Gj
@jason-lothamer Thanks for your feedback ! The reason for the part where you are a soul is that we first wanted to add an item that gave you another life, and so that when you die you respawn as a soul and must reach your body where you left it. Due to other priorities, we skip this item. "you can leave your body to pass through walls" what a great idea ! We first thought of making the fantoms pass trought walls, but if it's the player when he doesn't have a body, it should be more fun indeed... The count down that lead to others ennemies is not clear, but it exist. The ennemies are more than more powerful (exponential grows), but we got problems to balance it, so a game can last veeeery long. A lot of thanks for your feedback, and don't worry, this is EXACTLY the kind of comment we love to see, because it shows us how to improve our game. Oh and I'm glad you like the art because I made all of the graphics and the map ^^
@tomfu Thanks for your feedback ! In fact, we ended up with a map better developped than the gameplay options, because we try our best not to aim for the moon to finish it in time. This is why we want to update it as soon as possible (once the Ludum is over of course). As for the "Start with nothing", we try to do it with the state of the player at the beginning who doesn't even have a body. We will try our best to make it more fun, and hope that you will see it once we publish a new version.
@sharbelfs Indeed, an arrow would have been nice, or a little change in the gameplay like "No ennemies if no body" could balance it. I think we could make a tutorial in video to explain how to play and a list of all the details missings. Hope you enjoyed it, and hope you will enjoy it more once updated !
I like the concept of placing the blocks where you want to advance trough the game, but ended up blocked at the elevator. It was fun thanks
Ha ha ha ! Beware the LORD OF SHOOTING ! Got 154 on my second game (the first was to understand). Simple but fun. I still got a question... why shooting on pink circles ? Is it because they don't have the same look at us ? (Just joking but when I see "Color Shot" it made me laught for the same reason XD)
Nice puzzle game ! I like it, but I finished it in no time, so it doesn't allowed me to really enjoying it.
A new meaning for the "die and retry" ! I like this game because it's the opposite of my team's one. We play the skull that kills the bumpkins, so I like the change ^^. Good job, and now : Add more ennemies !
The real game comes when you unlock all the powers and start DESTROYING EVERYTHING ! Great work, great game ! I don't like playing a goat as a main character (goat simulator already got this concept) so another animal could have been nice. How about a rabbit annihilating a city ? Oh and talking about the main character... That look in his eyes... Someone took away his soul and now he doesn't blink anymore ! Save him !
The dragon is way to cute, and the story tells he was left alone... Now I'm sure there's a ninja cuting onions near me :cry:
I can only follow the others comment : I don't get it. I know what I'm supposed to do, but a burning planet where you can only drop the appocalypse ? Instructions unclear, ended up pushing every buttons. Oh and a bit less lighting and color effects would have help seeing what's going on on the planet. I agree with the others too about the fact that you got potential with this game. Keep on coding !
One of my favorite for this ludum ! Love it ! Don't change a thing and add levels, and publish it on the playstore for phone ! I want to play for more and more levels ! Nice game ^^
I don't understand how the game works, so I ended up at the basketball part, with the doors that disappears... Was I supposed to open one of them ? Btw the game looks cool, but the music made the whole a little bit creepy...
I like the idea of just eating things because you're a slime, but I hope you will upgrade your game because it feels a little bit empty right now. Btw a big thumb up for the animation and the stomach
I hate games that are based on fear, horror, etc. I try this one despite this... Now I keep it for later because I have nothing right now to trace a map, and I really like the game. Small details : The sound of the minotaur approaching is too powerful, a pause option would be nice (I try 'Esc' and ended with a "Quit" draw on the middle of my view... but I still can move, and the monster too ^^'). Wonderful sounds, graphics and mood
I really like it ! The challenge and logic to get blue stars were great, but my favorite part in the game is the music. What a great idea of playing only one music, but with different paterns that you unlock through new skills. Love it ! One of my favorite game for this game-jam. Congrats !
Wow ! It's hard ! I don't understand how the shop works, but I understand how to build walls so I build a wall and the viruses pay for it ^^. I like the game but found it... a little bit creepy. Hopefully the music is cool and broke this strange mood.
Worked well on the first try for me ^^. Relaxing game were I ended looking at the numbers with the sound of the water. A few notes on a guitar would have been welcome !
