The graphics are very nicely done and I really like the game concept. Having too much momentum was frustrating, I kept accidentally flinging myself into enemies when going too fast and manually modulating my speed takes a lot of effort. The music and the effects of being consumed by the darkness are pretty terrifying, despite the whimsical graphics.
best game. super satisfying mechanics. would have been nice to have more than one hp, but was fine. great job.
I like the look & feel! Cute simple style. :) Key press commands were a little unresponsive, don't know if it was the web player or what.
Really solid entry, fun to play, the controls feel right. Good job!
The mood in this game is great! It didn't really make intuitive sense to me that touching the side of a fishing line would kill you.
This little project nailed the mood category for me. Thanks for going after the metaphorical interpretation of the theme!
While the mystery was cool, it was really jarring to be tossed back and for so many times, and the dialog wasn't helping, but I really want to keep playing and find out what's going on. :)
This was super fun, and the computer presented enough of a challenge but wasn't impossible to beat. Great jam entry!
Very cute graphics and sfx, not sure what the point was.
I really like how it feels to be inside the game world, such a good mood for the story. Couldn't tell that the white orbs were trying to hurt me, didn't understand what was happening when I died(?) and the game reset me back to where I started. I think it could use better visual feedback for taking damage.
Interesting style but couldn't figure out how it worked. Sat down and started fishing but nothing seemed to happen after that and I couldn't get up. Very pretty though.
Love the atmosphere. There's a finicky sort of drifting upwards effect that's happening at the apex of your character's jump, it makes aiming for ledges and landing on them needlessly difficult. Time to play and polish really helps with stuff like that though. :) Great job!
Was really excited about the idea, then started playing and realized the movement controls feel very... off. Couldn't jump consistently and couldn't make it very far into the game without dying repeatedly. Definitely a good rough prototype and lots to work with here, but the controls are breaking it for me. Good luck guys!
Woah motion sickness... couldn't really figure out the point of the game but it looks pretty neat.
Great feedback! Aiming has been slightly calibrated to better match center-of-screen, should be a bit less frustrating.
Love the effective use of monochrome & color, really nice game to look. I think it would feel better to move around if, because of the weight and enormousness of the monster we're playing as, it didn't move so quickly. The mechanics feel like there's no drag from being underwater, like physics doesn't apply to us. Really great game, a joy to play!
This is a really great entry, I've spent more time than I thought I would playing around with it and trying to learn how to optimize. The graphics and music and general mechanics are pretty good. It's very easy to form a supply bottleneck and that slows the game down incredibly. Would love to see this title fleshed out and released as a game!
I really like how simple and easy this is to play. Good gradual progression through levels too. Thanks for making it!
play button doesn't seem to work for me. chrome, win 8.1
Interesting concept, I thought it was pretty difficult to tell what was going on. Reading the behavior was tricky. But I dig the idea :)
Really intense mood, but I wasn't sure what the point of the game was until I played through once and then read the instructions. I wanted to find everyone an exit to get away! But I dig the graphics and I think you did a pretty good job.
I dig the retro graphics look. Great entry :)
It's cute. I think that if you did something like you have to click to the beat or a way to make it more and more challenging without getting carpel tunnel that it could easily be a hit cat game!
I'll be honest, this is way too complicated for me to want to play it for long. I have to keep going back to your entry page to reference the rules. It seems other people enjoyed it though.
Very nice entry, reminds me of Peggle a little bit in the way of trying to gauge where the trajectory of a ball will take it. I love the perspective and the bright colors. Good job!
Has that addicting factor, makes you want to keep climbing. Had a lot of fun with it :) good job
Yeah, like others have said, would have liked an img to be what I was revealing.
Really great submission, the humor was definitely on point. I laughed out loud at the mail subject titles. Clicked a lot of buttons and couldn't really figure out how to play, but I dig the idea. Good job! :)
Very simple and to the point. It works! Except... the control scheme doesn't, for me. Makes the game very difficult to control. I know you're aware of it already. :) Good job!
This is really well done! Good job :)
I like the hand-drawn look! Great job :)
Looks great, concept is awesome but hitting the ball back was a bit wonky. It didn't seem to always work if I hit the ball back with the red ring. Some munchy sound effects when it eats the ball would have made me smile!
Needs some balancing, I agree with everyone else. I didn't understand what toggling on/off any of the buttons did, nor what I needed to use Repair for. So much hand drawn art! Nice entry :)
It's annoying having to scroll up and down on my laptop's screen to see the whole game. I didn't get very far but I can see how it could be challenging in a fun way -- good job!
Verrrrry interesting, quite a clever little game. Well done :)
Nice pixel art in such a short span of time. Good job! :)
The game wasn't my style but I can tell it is unique, completely fresh and well made. The sound effects and music were perfect. The reset sound is still stuck in my head.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! Push man! Man flees in terror!
Cute, I like the snowflakes. :) At one point I thought I was stuck near the end because the translucent(?) tiles look like they should have a color, it was just a little confusing -- like those tiles were broken or something. Good job!
I love the tone that's set with the graphic style. Doesn't really fit the theme imo but whatever. I think you guys should keep working on it :) nice entry!
I like the mood of this one, good use of sound to match the atmosphere of the graphics/narrative.
Difficult to understand at first, but reading others' comments helped. Nice entry! :)
I like the idea! You should pursue it further :)
I like the bright colors. Good job!
You made a thing! (Not sure what to think, but hey, you did it!)
What a cool game and interesting concept. I like the theme here and the way you put it all together. The music wasn't my favorite but fit the atmosphere. All in all it felt very well made and complete which is something I haven't seen a lot of yet. Well done!
The game started so abruptly it took me a couple tries to even adjust to what was happening. Super hard to start with, but the idea is intriguing. Nice entry!
Very cool, I love the visual pun of game and screen XD Hard but fun!
Slick, fun to play with. Would be nice if the goals were explained though.
I love the idea, I love the visual design, and I would love to see this playable on my phone. Superb entry :) great job!
Very simple, stuck to the theme pretty explicitly. Animations would help out the visual appeal of this game a TON. Nice entry :)
fun. kinda wonky collision. got stuck as soon as I started playing.
Unique game. Got the knife and pipe out and loved the pixel art for the kills. The audio was so bad it was good. No offense.
Unable to play. Looks super interesting though
Quirky and interesting, I like the concept. :) good job!
Huh, not sure what to think. I like time management games but this one doesn't really grab me for some reason. Maybe because there are no meaningful event chains you can set up? Nice entry tho :)
Cool puzzle game! It was difficult from a first-time player experience to tell what everything was at a glance, had to keep referencing the Help section. And a level editor is awesome in such a short amt of time.
Core functionality is there, now time to add some flavor and challenge :) Good job!
Wow, great job! I dig the music and sfx, controls were pretty tight, and the visual effects turning debris back into enemies is rad. Very cool :)
Got a cool thing going here. Seems a bit half finished as I never found any bad guys to fight but I did manage to build a bunch of things and collect several million pounds of resources. :) Good work and good start to something fun.
This is a good start. Some variety in enemies or enemy attacks would be nice. Additionally, something that detects the end of a wave if all the enemies are cleared would be nice. Driving around blasting walls while the timer counts down drove me to end my play sooner than I think I would have otherwise.
Hilarious. I love the bite out of the sheep. Had a smile on my face the whole time.
Download link is for a suspended account. Unable to play the game :(
Omg such a good idea! I really like the game. Fun, addicting and weird! Some things I wanted... A highscore keeper so I know my best score and have something to beat. Also, near the edge of the screen game gets hard to play. Cant click off the edge so there is no way to recover if you get to close.
Awesome! The balance and creativity here was amazing. You have a game here if you could get some sound effects and art on this baby. I played through all the way to the end and didn't find myself bored at any point. Cool idea and I hope you find yourself adding to it in the future and putting it out there for more people to play!
Weird. I dunno whats going on. Cute pixie though!
I mean this is just great. I felt like it really helped for learning sign. ALSO the graphics fit very well with the game. It's presented well and it's easy to figure out. Great Great learning game very innovative!
This game runs very well. It is completely playable and has a purpose. It is not super original, but I think it's definitely someone's cup of tea.
This is pretty awesome :) I like all the sound effects! Great job!
Exceedingly easy to beat, from what I can tell. You should find a way to limit the number of turrets that can be placed, either through economy or available placement tiles. Nice entry!
This looks like it was a lot of work, and it is challenging to play so for that it deserves kudos. Would have loved to hear some sounds and have some interactions that felt like I was progressing or failing throughout the different phases. Great start!
Interesting idea -- and hard, yes. Good entry!
Agree about the colliders. But you did a great job with the mood and graphics. :) Nice entry!
@error031: Crap, thanks for telling us. Working build will be up asap!
Source of crash found, fixed version will be available shortly -- thx for your patience!
Crash fixed, play and vote away :)
Cool concept, a little frustrating to not have mouse/keyboard controls.
Good job dude!
I've always been interested in games that avoid the direct action and instead let you manage the behind-the-scenes stuff. I want graphics! :) Good job.
Music was very good! Easy to pick up and play. Didn't even need to read the instructions. Found it hard to loose. Nothing gained from winning battles made replay value low after a couple battles. Animations for attacks could have been slowed down a bit for the player character.
Very cool. I dig it. The narrative is intriguing, I want to play/see more. Good job!
Hahha, middle finger attack. Still laughing about that.
Odd little game, but I had fun with it. :) Love the disco tiles. The wobbly movements of the cat made me laugh. Good job!
Hard and fun. I really like that you guys managed to squeeze lighting effects into such a short turn-around time. Keep working on it, I want to see the whole game. :)
Took me a long time to figure out what was going on. I like the planetary symbolism! Good job :)
hard to understand the directions without reading them :>
Very cool. Original idea, I love the decayed feel of the pixel art. :) Good job!
Interesting idea, but you should definitely try to make a version you can download easily without having to jump through hoops. Nice entry :)
I want to be able to make choices and influence what I am reading or how the story is presented somehow.
Usually games have objectives or, I guess end goals -- even as simple as "get the highest score possible", so this is a game in a sense... It's an interesting idea, but maybe you could find some graphics or a story to go with it :)
Simple and clean. Good job!
Very cool, I had fun with this one. :)
Wow, this is fantastic. First game on the controller that worked better than I expected. The flick action was rad tastic! Fix a few bugs, add some AIBotSlugs and BAM! Game I'd buy and play to kick the crap out of my friends. Even better if you get it multiplayer on the internet. I could see an epic steam battle for an hour. Also, let me mod something simple about my slug. Like pick a color or give me a hat.. or a knife... :D
Nice job! Definitely reminiscent of Five Nights at Freddy's.
The visuals are great! I don't really understand what the point of the game is though, and the zooming feature doesn't fit the theme IMO. But it was really fun, good job :)
This is great for your first! Same feedback as others, I think it's a really solid entry and you gave it a really good shot. Good job :)
The graphics are.. well, they could be better, but sometimes we run out of time :) Nice entry!
Keep working at it :) Be proud of yourself for getting an entry in for the first time! Good job
Wow, really choppy in-browser. Nice graphics though :) very seasonal and festive
Kitty!! :) Nice entry, I agree the controls needed some explanation
Solid little puzzle game. Great level design, complementary graphics. Great job guys!
Made me smile. The music changes when you go underwater! I like it :) nice entry
Straight and to the point. I like it! Great job in just 48 hrs :)
I do think there is something here, but for now it's very basic and I lost interest. It did feel right physics wise which is great! Even just a bouncy sound might have held my interest a bit longer. It is just like bouncing a balloon though so props for that.
I think it's fine that you focused on mechanics and left the graphics minimal. Agree that enemies spawning so close you don't have time to avoid them is frustrating, but the general idea of the game is there and it's a good one. :) Nice entry overall!
If you loosened up the controls a bit, that would be a good improvement (I agree with others on that one). I think it's great you managed to pull this off in just a weekend. Nice entry dude! :)
Really great execution on the graphics and mood. I love the style you managed to cultivate in such a short amt of time :)
5 for graphics because you made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe. Dat sombrero.
Neat little concept idea, looks like the start of a cool Star Control 2 esque game. :) Good job!
The graphics are nice, but I couldn't seem to figure out how to play...
Interesting concept, I like the shared controls for multiplayer :) Good entry!
Hard to see where you're going, I took damage for what seemed like no reason until I realized I was bumping into an enemy(?) and not just another wall. Don't really understand where I am suppose to go or how I can defend myself. But the sfx fit the mood! Nice entry :)
Cool art, interesting idea but I'm not sure what the point of my choices were. The instructions are a little obtuse. Good entry! :)
As a woman, I felt very empowered! GO HELGA! This game could really go somewhere. I like it a lot and I think the potential to have a decent amount of fun is there. I LOL'd great job!
Great job with the game-in-a-game-in-a-game. Really fun to play with, the sfx bring it all together :D Great job!
nice concept. would be nice with more sound
You are on to something here. Reminds me of majesty2 in concept. A few of the others comments are the same ones I have. Didn't really know what the point of upgrades were or destroying towns from just playing the game. Had to read your comments to get the hang of it. That isn't bad, just saying that the interface felt like it could have had that information in it pretty easily.
The sfx all fit with the style. It was a little confusing what I was doing when I entered a door but I figured it out eventually. Pretty good first entry, dude!
Good job on the graphics but I don't really understand the point of the game... Couldn't figure it out until I read others' comments! Nice entry though :)
I don't really understand the win or lose conditions, but this feels like the start of a really cool territory based game like Go. Nice entry! :)
It's pretty difficult. I dig the humor, I wanted the snowman to win as well. :) Good job!
Stuff I like you could improve: You can run off the screen, I ended up losing my character that way the first time. The hit detection range on the chloroplasts makes it tricky to pick them unless you are exactly on top of them. I was moving so fast I had difficulty controlling myself.
This was a nice little entry! :)
Interesting take on Pacman, it's awesome that you got through so many levels in such a short period of time. Nice entry :)
Cool art. Nice glide on the controls but how do you interact? Is it just standing in front of an object interacts with it? It seemed a bit like the game played itself. Maybe a control explanation would have helped. I wanted to play this game more than I did because of this problem.
Interesting little game, good job :)
Cool interpretation of the theme! I like the visual simplicity. Good entry :)
Super cute, I love the sound fx the were-bunnies make when they're nomming the huge carrot. And the intro music is great too, props to your sound person!
Nailed the mood/graphics. Good job for such a short 72 hrs! I like the light & shadows effects in particular.
Didn't understand what to do until I came back and realized.. it's a rhythm game! Oh. XD Good mood setting with the sfx & music. Thanks for making both Xbox and keyboard settings!
I don't really get what the connection between praying/spirituality with whatever happened in the game, but I like the simplicity of it. :) Good job!
Simple game, but the scoring system isn't easy to understand at first. Nice entry!
Linear and short, but this was a good first attempt. Nice job :)
This was a really cool story. I liked playing through it and felt like it definitely had a cool meaning behind it. Great job! You have a great storytelling ability. I love where it got all shaky.
Great job dude! Love how you emphasize who just scored a point, really makes the visual design pop :)
Wow those particle effects :) great job!
I laughed out loud at the animations when I lost. The game concept is a little simple, so elaborating on that with powerups or some extra flavor items would be cool.
Top-down shooters are the new black. Very cool story setting, I dig it. Good job dude!
You did a good job setting the tone and building a mood with the graphics. I ended up mashing the space bar to skip to the end because it got repetitive quickly. Overall I like the concept though, with some tweaks to make gameplay more challenging this would be great to play while at work or on my phone :) Good job!
Interesting concept, doing multiplayer in such a short span of time is challenging! Good job :)
I was prepared to be all serious about learning to cook like a legend, but the moment I tried to pick up a pot I found myself laughing. :) Great job creating humor in such a short span of time! I like the general idea and would love to see it fleshed out & expanded on.
That was hilarious, such a random game. And the AI actually works! Very cool. Good job :)
Interesting, but I don't know where I can and can't go -- the map doesn't see to show that very clearly. Good job overall!
I thought the game was adorable. I had fun and I think with more levels it could be great. I kept trying to jump through one of those holes in the living room. WHAT IS THE TRUTH? Great work. Fun concept.
Wow, you did a lot of work here! Impressive. Took me longer than I'd like to figure out what the hell I was doing but after messing around a bit I got the hang of it. Good audio (very classic), a story?! awesome, as most of these games don't have one, and working levels. Line of sight as a game concept is truly a unique entry. Good job.
