Either Im missing something or this is lacking actual gameplay?
This game had me in stitches for all the wrong reasons. Its like surgeon simulator in which your only instrument is a shovel, and things you have to remove don't apply to the laws of gravity. Im not sure I understood why the waiter kept falling over but overall I was entertained.
I have to admit, Ive missed games like this. Nothing beats playing multiplayer games on the same screen. While it wasn't overly original I still enjoyed it.
Great use of theme. Puzzles were about the right difficulty level.
innovative concept. I liked the idea, I just wish it was executed a little better. I found it so frustratingly difficult to get the ball where I wanted it to go.
Its a bit too difficult even on easy. the health goes down almost instantly from having too much or too little of something.
Its a good job this isn't a 'realistic' zombie survival game....
Liked the zombie physics.
Somewhere along the lines, the game part of the game just.... didn't happen. Nice idea though, a bit more interactivity is much needed though. It was written very well.
I think I broke the game.. I found that if i just kept running around under the platform to the far left i could shoot the ninjas from underneath the platform when the dropped down... i must have killed loads before they stopped spawning altogether.
On saying that the game was just too difficult without this blatent exploit.
I.... HATE... YOU...... INDECISIVE TURTLE!
Seriously though, I'm surprised I played this as long as I did, it was intreguing to see what you would come up with for the next level.
Interesting idea, and GREAT use of the theme. Game could use a bit of balancing though as there is no way I could stop all those green alien things at the speed they were going with just one bolt. I think at the most i could kill about 3-4 before one got to the end and I lost.
Shame there is so little content. Graphically it looks good, It felt a little slow paced at times. Some nice ideas used like the use of the torch.
Interesting idea, couldn't really see where I was going or what I was doing for the most part, but it was very creepy and great to see the horror genre mixed into racing. Would love to see it developed further.
Oddly addictive.
I don't get it, how do you play it?
Love the animation and art work. Gameplay was a bit too slow though, and the fact that you run so close to the edge of the screen made it very hard to see what was coming and react in time. the slo-mo gun shot doesn't really do the game favors as it just slows the pace of the game down too much. At 1st its not even clear that it is infact slow motion which is a shame. Loved the art and the humor of the game though.
Its such a shame this game is so unfinished..... i can really see a lot of potential. Such a great idea. i wont begin to list all the under-developed things and all the bugs in this game as the developer is probably already aware of them, but even with all its problems I spent more time on this than a lot of other more complete games in this Jam.
wow this is a difficult game, but skill based all the way!
At first I was a bit dissapointed, I kept killing myself with the bullet an loosing the game before it had even started.....but Once you really get a feel for how the bullet works you can do some really awesome things combining how you move around and how the soopa doopa magic bullet works. The only thing that let it down for me (and this is more of a personal thing) is that Im both fed up of and not keen on pixel art. But as pixel art goes, this fits the game.
oh and everybody needs music like this in their games!
Its just a little too slow paced for me. I can see what you are trying to achieve and you did really pull it off though! Audio was great, and the mood is fitting.
Jan Svankmajer anyone? Great idea, not so greatly executed unfortunately. I kept getting stuck on the terrain, and it could have done with an animation for picking up the objects. Also I didnt really know how to achieve the goals, lack of info perhaps? I might be a bit biased towards this because I dont like 2d side-scrollers. Still I loved the concept but could definitely do with some polishing up, but isnt that the nature of most of the results of game jams?
I couldn't work out what to do. Still, it was nice running around your city. Quite a lot of effort has obviously been put into building it.
Well its a point and click game, and it works. Why re-invent the wheel?. Graphics are interesting. Was the blocky lack of smoothing groups a design choice? it works nevertheless.
As for the negatives: Lack of variation in the audio made it feel somewhat lacking. Some sound effects might have been nice.
Simple and fun. pretty innovative too. Amazing how far one bait can actually get you, fits the theme really well.
Only criticism is that the sound was a little off. would have been nice to have some sound cues for catching a fish, achieving goals etc. Also using the sound of running water doesn't really work for a game that is set underwater. Some music might have worked better.
Really fun game for such a simple idea. My main gripe with it is the graphics which is specifically a poor limitation due to the games necessity for visual cues. Still, I enjoyed it and would love to see it developed further.
Does seem to work. It just hangs at a box on in the window.
Game is fun and looks very good.
I couldn't get to the end since I didn't know what to do once I was in the house. Also there was no clear goal to what I should do.
Now that was a blast from the past. Really clever use of the theme! You need to be an old git like me to really appreciate how inventive this is.

This should be in a modern art gallery.
Gjallarhorn by NoWandStudios 2015-12-16T14:22:00
Got a fairly high-ish score from just spamming M.
Frantic Farming by Fidrik 2015-12-15T21:42:00
T to plant seeds? bit of a stretch could use a different binding.
Enjoyable game for such a simple one though.
Dead Man's Volley by DragonXVI 2015-12-15T21:01:00
Good entry and and awesome idea but the collision detection is a bit too squiffy. It makes the game far too difficult to be enjoyable. I had too much trouble hitting the things back.
Carrot Stories by JaviCepa 2015-12-15T18:43:00
lovely aesthetic. I have nobody here to play it with though so i guess I cant fully appreciate it. the AI on the other bunnies needs to be improved to make it viable single player..... curse that damn fox!
HamsterX by UntitledQ 2015-12-15T17:26:00
I really want to love this game.. but for all the fun its just so punishing.
Ive lost track of how many times ive shot up that hamster only to collect only the red or blue or none at all. you cannot control the hamster if you dont have both color jets.
My suggestion would be to start with one of each instead of the canon.
minor annoyances are with the collision on the wall. sometimes you get stuck against it and instantly destroys all your rockets.
Good entry in general and id love to see further development with the above mentioned fixes :D.
Pandora by pokipsy 2015-12-15T16:37:00
Had me playing for a while. Not a bad little game.
My only crticism is that the electric fences dont seem to do much.because i dont have any control over what they kill.. the one shot kill is often wasted.
Not bad if thats all I have to complain about.
Needs a better (more relevant) title though, I was nearly going to skip this one.
Snowman Builder Extreme by zenmumbler 2015-12-15T16:13:00
I think i made Dr Frankenstein's snowman... Thats good, right?
I had 2 goes of this which is more than I give most game jams games, so thumbs up from me.
Mon Démon et Moi by Spyboy 2015-12-15T16:02:00
I have to be honest.. I didnt understand it.
Which is a shame.. because I really wanted to. I loved the art and the idea....It just didnt achieve much for me. Maybe its just me doing something wrong.
Good job though.
Climbing The Blood Rock by PlasmaErnst 2015-12-15T14:54:00
Innovative controls system. So of the games ive played this one has the best use of the 2 button limitation. Took a while to get used to but once I cracked it, mario jumping those red goons was hella-fun!
Growing Up by blurryroots 2015-12-15T14:50:00
Cheer up... life aint all that bad!
Loved the art style, which is unusal with me and blocky graphics. But still. It worked!
Would have loved to have seen a bit more "game" in a "game" jam entry but cant have everything eh?.
Zen Roots by nopogo 2015-12-15T14:43:00
Would love to see this developed further. Very nice game.
However years of playing top down driving games really made the whole "left to turn clockwise and right to turn anti-clockwise" thing confusing.
Kitty Glacier Surfing by HUMANICS 2015-12-15T14:37:00
Most ammount of fun Ive ever had with a taxidermy cat. perfectly mounted on its mahogany base too.
Wasnt exagerating with the fun bit either. Give me this over SSX anyday ;)
Crooked Town by TeamEagle 2015-12-15T14:30:00
Fun game. I actually finished it which is unusual for me and game jam entries.
If you are continuing development I would suggest sectioning off the areas of the world. I found that the easiest way to play was to pretty much drive in a straight line and avoiding the roads.It made it far less of a challenge and no real risk of any kind of fail state.
Project sandtree by Rikstar 2015-12-15T13:28:00
I think this game has a lot of potential. It took me a while to realise what was going on but I think that is all part of the idea of it.
For some reason I really liked with at you did with the trees. having them grow properly like that.
My only main criticism is the controls. 2 button controls isnt very appropriate for this. Give us a wasd controller at least.
Oh and the centre dot isnt centre. But you probably know that.
