Others have said it before, but this could make a fun game if it were to be expanded!

That was quite fun to play, although the bullettime felt more like framerate drops instead of smooth and awesome bullettime :( Swimming up the walls also made my camera bug out, it went through the 'floor'/ceiling and had some trouble with the rotation.
Oh, and an exit button would have been nice ;)
Very simple concept, yet a lot of fun. The art style/graphics are very nice and the sound effects are fun to listen to! The game becomes rather difficult (it seems ot increase in difficulty?), but that's how I like my games :)
I like it. During the first day of development I saw your posts and thought "how is that going to be a fun game?", but it turned out pretty well! Looks fancy and is in the last levels pretty challenging.
I hate to be an ass, but.. Although I had to laugh when I saw the bananaguy, I still think this was a waste of time :(
A simple concept, but it looks great with fitting music (although the loop became annoying after a while) and is fun to play. The difficulty was, in my opinion, well done (I even Game Over-ed at some point)!
Relaxing little game, of course more tricks would have been nice as said before.
I did have some trouble with the falling speed suddenly being a lot faster when close to the water, and the animation seemed to indicate I was diving in face-down while it was actually belly-down when releasing the keys.
I have said this before in other comments at other games: I don't think there is much actual 'gameplay' in this game, which is a shame. The music, graphics mood and humour are nice though! The controls felt smooth as well.
A quite challending and fun game, although my right arm thinks different (somehow steering with the mouse made my arm hurt after a while o_0).
At some point the "toxic collected" counter gave a value of 199.99999/200 so I was afraid I had to restart the level, but fortunately it still registered as 200/200!
While I appreciate the quality of the application, I wouldn't say it is all that much of a game. I did enjoy my time in the game and the building system works rather well and intuitive, but in the end the gameplay is not very challenging at all. You place a few tubes and you wait (or place more tubes). Still, nice work! :)
Does not really feel like a fully finished game (there seem to be signs you had more planned?), but it was still fun to play and it sure does have potential!
The game looks, 'hears' and feels nice. It is not very challenging, however. I felt like I could go on and on without ever overheating the drill.
You say it is 'very unfinished', but what part IS finished? The only thing I can do is shoot arrows at something coming towards me, without any effect besides a useless knockback? And when the kraken is passed me, nothing happens? Or am I missing something?
Quite fun, but I really disliked the movement controls. Easy to get stuck behind level 'geometry' and hard to quickly dodge incoming.. pain.
When almost leaving the first area after the area with Big Company Inc. my browser (thus the game) keeps slowing down until it is non-responsive.
We have been playing this for 3 days and we keep coming back! Addictive and very fun game. Reminds me a lot of the game Captain Forever!
Rather confusing at first, but as soon as you get the hang of it, it is an interesting game. I seemed unable to solve a puzzle because it required a value over 50 while the only two positive values on the screen where 6 and 8.
Enjoyable and humorous little game. The music is very.. soothing :D
To be honest I had no idea what to do. After starting the game (typing "start") I typed all commands from the help, in all combinations I could possibly think of, but the only thing not giving me a "not a valid command" was typing "inventory" :/
Way too chaotic for my taste, so I naturally didn't get far, but it's a nice game to play as a break. The sprites are pretty nice!
Maybe a stupid question but.. how do I start the game? What program do I need? Because I don't see an .exe file.
Your links don't seem to be working.
Agreed with Mironix, there is too much time to fit the theme! :P
I did get an impossible to solve level after a few replays, I just couldn't possible hit one of the 'detonators' :(
Oh, and a webversion would've been nice. Shouldn't take too much effort since it's made using Unity.
I ended up with the 'scenes' being empty except for some targets outside my screen, of which I could only see the light. Also there doesn't seem to be a goal or score?
The 'trigger' for the red buttons seem to be a bit larger than the button itself, which is annoying. Other than that this is definitely a nice game! (The jumping and lack of sound are already mentioned)
I'm still getting an exception after entering the door. Did you already ahve an updated version available?
'Cute' little timing-based game. I especially like the music ;)
This doesn't seem to be working (for me). When I click the link I only get a blank page.
Like Diogo Muller said, I only found out how to play the game after 'losing' the first time. Overall the game is amazingly enough quite entertaining despite the simple gameplay mechanic.
An in my opinion frustrating 'game'. In the sidescroller part of the game you can only complete the last 2 planets if you have a lot of luck, because as far as I could tell there is no way to aim your weapon. The controls in that part of the game also feel unresponsive, which adds to the frustration (when I press 'jump', I would like to actually jump! No run into those annoying purple stars).
The audio and visuals are OK-ish. I don't like the art style but at least there IS an art style.

The introduction and help are nicely written. The game itself sounded interesting, and probably could be pretty cool had it been a bit more polished with better art.
As it is now, even when taking into consideration the fact that it's a 72h game, it's not that fun or impressive. Too much button clicking and too little feedback on your actions (animations and/or sounds probably would have helped a lot).
I like the idea though!
