Don't have a Mac
Can't open source
I don't have a microphone that can be plugged in my mixer atm.
Overall it was a nice game, though it felt lacking in certain area's... Not much in the to-do section other then trying to "catch 'em all". Also I'm using Firefox to view it and I think I isolated the cause of the FPS drop. When the background image was still the FPS were normal. (around the map edges) When you got away from the map edge and the background started scrolling the FPS would drop. Don't know if this is the cause for everyone but that's what happened on my browser.
Great game. Loved playing it.
Thanks for your comments, we're still working on it at a slower pace. (and we will take your feedback and suggestions in account)
Sorry for the lack of instructions. We will do some kind of tutorial or instructions story wise.
I like your entry, although I didn't have any sound... (don't know if it's me or just you not adding them) And the rock collisions were weird, sometime I could drive over a few rocks and then suddenly get stuck in one when collision worked again. You might also want to add a way to advance the messages because they stay on screen far to long :P.
Loved the ending. :D
The game fits the theme but I missed depth in the game.
The ship maneuverability was a bit unresponsive at high speeds.
It doesn't run, I don't get an error.
Java runs in the background never showing itself.
Don't have this problem with other java games
Like mentioned above, the pad moves too choppy when you press A or D. After you get used to it the game is fun though.
A very good game, but once you know how it works it becomes quite easy to win.
Great entry.
It starts a cmd window but doesn't do anything.
Nice job for an hour!
Aw man i wanted to play this. I get the error at startup.

@s0ulcrusher Sorry about that still had a typo left in my code, it was trying to load an island that didn't exist. It should also work on Firefox.
Working on a post-compo version.
Wow, truly an experience. I enjoyed it very much worth the wait for to load. Graphics were awesome and the music and voice over set a very good mood for the game. I would've loved being able to shoot light faster because it's very difficult to navigate sometimes. Good job guys!
Very interesting game, I like the setting of this and the execution is well done. The story is good and the audio fits it. Would've loved some ambient music on this. I had some of the same problems as the rest here like checkpoints where you kept dying, thinking that pressing D would skip all dialog. Switching between mouse and keyboard.
I can relate to that, I have the same fear of the ocean. :(
Game looks delicious, gameplay was a bit awkward but fun. Is the blue screen the end after defeating the big monster? Could use a win state screen or an 'The adventure continues in part 2' kinda thing.
Nice game. I kinda liked these controls and didn't find them awkward, it's just that everyone is used to mouselook I think. Good job!
Wow awesome game, go sandworm go! Nice graphics, great atmosphere. My only problem is that worm sometimes doesn't go for me at all and end up running around the map for a couple of minutes. Also the sandstorm doesn't fill my whole screen at 1600x900 fullscreen.
Cool game, nice graphics. Could use a little more variation in the enemies.
Looks cool, it crashes when I start so I can't vote. :(
Same as Empyrealhell. Running windows 7 x64. Tried using different compatibility modes (winXP, vista) and running as admin as well...
Did a google search about this and ATI cards are a common problem, which I happen to have.
Also running windowed_mode.bat gets me into the title screen but when I press enter it also stops working.
I installed on my brother's laptop and it worked. Also windows 7 x64 with ATI card. I guess it's just my custom blended cocktail driver (cannot reinstall because otherwise other games dont work >.<) that's not supporting blender game engine. So if this game doesn't work, update/reinstall your graphics drivers.
Cool game, got to the end :D. Nice graphics and good music. You should make the camera always work like it does when pressing S for better gameplay, or use mouselook. I would also like to see dynamic jumping (the longer you press the higher you get) like in Mario so some gems are easier to get. The attack animation sometimes gets stuck. Some sound effects would also be nice.
Nice game, graphics are sweet and it had a certain mood going on. You can really keep playing this for a long time if it weren't for the framedrop from the bullets. Though I would've liked for the death screen to not give me a gameover feeling.
Cool game with nice graphics. Love the mood you guys invoke! Good job.
Brilliant, good take on the theme. At first I was confused how it worked so but after pressing a couple of the buttons that you posted on this page I saw how the mechanic worked and was immediately hooked.
Return to real life? Yes please. Very funny and weird game that makes you eyes sparkle and bleed at the same time. Though is this really a game? I guess that's all just relative to the person who plays it.
Hahah, laughed my pants off. Good job, didn't even know I had python installed.
Could've added one more indicator when going past end of the universe for more laughs and then invisible wall. Also didn't know that Super Meat Boy was to the left till my options ran out.
Awesome game, could use some balancing as said before.
Maybe add some boss mobs after every 5 waves or so?
Excellent, don't change anything! ;)
I found myself commenting on the narrative and feeling for him. Good job.
Great game, good job! Though the pacing (overall action, fire rate etc.) seems slower then the old doom games. Make it feel faster in a post-compo version.
Awesome, Captain John is awesome! Can't find a fault in this. I'm running on a laptop but no performance problems whatsoever.
I'm sorry Ashdnazg, I can't keep the promise I made in IRC. I like your game but if you want honesty here it is:
The music gets repetitive over time. I feel no sense of purpose in the game, there is only a random enemy sub and a humping whale. You should add a mission of some sorts, because submarines don't just terrorize other submarines infront of harbours. (or do they :X)
I'm impressed that you made this in 48 hours and salute you commander.
Just awesome, enjoyed myself.
Good job.
Quite an elaborate adventure, I have played for some time now. Still haven't finished it though. Will be playing this till I finish! :D
Very nice game, at first I didn't fully understand how the game worked but after a while of clicking and then pressing help (I read the controls on this page beforehand) I finally figured it out. I also didn't know there was sound till I pumped up my volume. You should make the customers move up in queue because when you have a lot of rooms it's hard to switch around and still click everything.
Not to sound negative because I enjoyed your game and it also looks very smexy, but if you improve on these things in a post-compo version you can sell this game and make a lot of $$. :D
It looks cool and shows a lot of promise. As previously stated I cannot figure it which ones are human and which ones are demon so I started randomly punching people and won 2 out of 2 times. The flashing(demon indicator?) is bad for some people and should be avoided. You could make it that demons attack humans by syphoning energy or something and that's how you can detect them.
Good game, like others said, there might be too much heavy treasures near the shore. But it's still playable and actually quite fun. I would've loved to see the boat drifting a little further instead of stopping abruptly. The music fits the game well.
Cool game! Love the graphics and the bullet hell gameplay. It's difficult but it should be. Also had the dying bug and then kept on running. I guess it gets pretty stale getting told over and over about the audio... so I'm looking forward to a post-compo version.
Nice game, these graphics! [insert dat ass meme]
The music fits the game and I chuckled a little at the boss.
The alternate firing and moving is hard to get used to.
Fun and also frustrating. It was at the last level I found out that the bullet has an arc which would've saved me from a lot of frustration. Good game though and funny story.
Wow, this game is very addictive. I had a lot of fun playing it, reminded me of snake. I like the fact that I didn't have to install anything to play so good job switching to executable :D.
I love the arcadey feel this gives, the camera position feels awkward but that's exactly what makes it work. Great mood and good music, love it!
Cannot describe how fun this is, try it for yourself.
Astonishing, even thought it's only one level it is a very good game mechanic. Sweet graphics and silly is good! Also good job for being an awesome dad! <3
Wow. This was super intense. This game has a very strong immersion, every time the mine exploded I freaked out. I would love to see some more obstacles/mechanics besides the mines in a post-compo version to add more variation to the gameplay.
Very good game, the pistol was the coolest weapon.
Would prefer WASD movement with mouse shooting.

Wow, at first I didn't know what is what, I tried reading the description and was confused. I found out I shouldn't resize the window or else the ball isn't centered on the spokes which cleared things up for me. After a while I got the hang of it but is it supposed to be this short or can you increase the time somehow? I love the music, after the time out I would leave it like that to hear the music play :D.
You are a Hero, become a coding legend! I wish my dad was as awesome as yours. :(
Good game, it gives me the same feeling as Flappy bird which is a good thing.
That evil one can't trick me! Good job on your entry, the voice acting was a good idea. It gave more depth to your game.
Good game with a bit awkwardness. It seems enemy hitboxes are too big. It was a bit confusing on what you could and could not stand. The visuals look very nice and the atmosphere of the game would be wonderful with a bit of sound and music.
Very nice game, I loved it. Though at first I thought my laptop couldn't handle the game it was just bullet time being enabled. If you can smooth out the frames in bullet time that would be awesome.
Fun game! Didn't like that I needed to reset the browser to restart the game. I was also missing sound.
Cool controlling mechanic like previously noted.
Intense game, very easy to get into. You might want to port this to mobile :D.
Very good game, before I knew it 2 hours had passed. Have yet to finish it. Maybe this weekend.
Woooooo! 302! I'm bad at these games but i'm in the highscore thanks to the two word exploit and sometimes seeing words.
Cool game, you should definately put this on mobile.
Very good game, especially for your first Ludum!
When I found out about Orca's I didn't die anymore and stopped when I went over score 5000.
Cool concept, too bad no one around to play against so I had to play against myself. I love the art style of the game and the game mechanics. Could use some audio, and maybe add in a AI to play against in a post-compo version. Good job anyway.
Fun and simple, great metaphor with the theme. Beneath the surface you are the same as the bullets. :D
Could use some music though.
About your question see Miltage's post, I agree with him/her.
Very fun! At some points I flew very fast and at others it didn't have any life at all, could've used some indicators for it. A little sound would've made this even better!
Really enjoyed this. Very good boxing game.
Green ?? is really hard, I need to bring that sucka down!
Very good game for your first Ludum. I beat the bird! Once... :P
I would've liked the bird coming from the farthest side of the camera.
Cool game with a lot of potential. It's a shame it lacks sound, it really needs sound. Maybe you could add a sort of finish line or button on which you place a block to complete the level. Still awesome job!
Good game! I got all the upgrades but still couldn't find the unobtanium so I think you should make a final upgrade Unobtanium Scanner or something. :D
Very good game, I had fun with this. At first I didn't know the pause button was part of the gameplay, might want to clear it up beforehand because I was confused why the virus didn't jump over from person to person even though the particles touched the other person (RL logics :/).
I like this game and it's an impressive endeavour for the 48 hours you had. The graphics are very good and I loved the hugging, it gave me a good feeling inside. There are a few things you could fix up in a post-compo version. I wanted to have more information maybe like a happiness or hunger meter because I hugged the daughter gave her food and then walked away to get the food and she would be screaming "mommy! mommy!" and it didn't feel like that should've happened. I also would've like to hear some kind of music because it's quiet a lot.
Instead of being game over when detected you could make it so you need to hide behind some boxes while the bad people come down to give a little more chance to evade detection. Just an idea that popped into my head when riding the bus, thought I should let you know.
Very addictive, still can't beat your highscore. I will keep trying to get it of course. The most problems I had were caused by the collision which you fixed in v2. The only thing you might want to change is the graphics like was said in the irc channel. Rest is very good.
Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for your kind comment, that was exactly what we were going for (the terror thing). Totally agree on the indicator because the goal is pretty far (and reachable with all 4 lives). Will add it in post-compo version.
Thanks so much for all your nice comments. We will take all your comments and critique and make a better game for the post-compo version. You guys are awesome!
Thanks for all your nice comments everyone. I'll just repost the tip on the top of this page.
Tip: Roll off the rock to get a head start on the worms for a better chance to reach the next rock.

Looks cool. shame I can't play it. :(
A very good game! Had a great time! :D
I love the mood of this game, awesome graphics!
Wow, that was so much fun! This is done so well!
Awesome game! This needs audio! :)
Haha! Well polished and a lot of fun. The real monsters were the ones that tried to protect the kids from me of course. XD
Awesome game! Wish there was some music to accompany it.
Awesome adventure! Had a blast.
*claps*
I laughed so hard at this! Great job!
Well done, amazing story. Music meshed well with the mood of the story.
Awesome and well polished! Had a bit of lag when I had a lot of minions.
So frustrating! Good job! Had a blast. :)
Hard but rewarding, great level design! Had fun playing this!
Fun game, really hard. I eventually won by killing the king with rain slime.
Fun idea, you should expand on this and make more things to do :)
Nice game, the screen is very small though. Hard to read the text.
SPOILER:
I would've felt sorry for them if they didn't kill me a lot of times.
Good game btw :P
Good job very cool!
Awesome entry, had a blast. Frustrating when you get too comfortable and forget about windows... :P
Very creative, good job!
I loved it! Would have been awesome if it had some music.
The game is gorgeous. The music is very fitting. I agree with what others said about skipping the intro after the first time and transitioning to other rooms.
Made it to 16 nights. Very fun, would love to see even more characters.
Awesome gameplay. I had a blast!
Interesting experience and nice mood! The graphics were beautiful but I had a lot of framedrops at seemingly random moments with few things on the screen. The game felt too long and dragged out, eventually I stopped hopping on heads and just went on. I was hoping for a cutscene or atleast a text bubble at the end but was left with a few sentences.
Solid entry! Had fun playing this. the art is well made!
Fun game, the graphics and the audio were exceptionally well.
This is done exceptionally well! Great job!
Great fun and well polished. Awesome entry!
Had so much fun playing this! It's like a Dungeon keeper tower defense? Anyway very polished and well done!
Played both versions, liked it very much. It was cool and reminded me of Spiderman with the web slinging. :)
It doesn't feel like you could lose though (I tried losing, it was really hard because the mosquitoes only move till the edge of the camera, most mosquitoes just hover over the kid) or win for that matter. Might want to implement some kind of win state as well (possibly end of the night?).
I also went through the wall on the left side of the room and spent quite some time under the room. I eventually clipped back through the floor with some web.
Super fun game, had a blast! Currently 10th on the high score.
Awesome, great fun! Loved the graphics and the gameplay. Sound effects were spot on and the music fit very well.
I agree with others above that the playtime was a bit too long.
Short but fun! Wish there was some music.
Absolutely brilliant! Good work.
Short but fun, good job! You should definitely make a post-compo version.
Wow what an experience... Well done!
Awesome work!
Awesome game, would love to see more levels. Was hard but that's part of what makes it good.
Very hard but fun. It is beatable just got to get used to the timing of the gun.
Cool game, interesting gameplay! :)
Promising game, I would've liked some sound and music. Also most of the time you die when colliding with humans who overlap each other.
Beautiful.
Good work, took some time before understood what I had to do though.
Awesome game! Had great fun, would love to see more of this. :)
Awesome game, very polished and cohesive.
Awesome game, some levels are hard others are easy. I love the creepy atmosphere of your game!
Sorry about the previous comment, was meant for another game but I was on the wrong tab XD.
This is a solid entry and it gave me metal gear solid vibes. The graphics look fantastic and the sounds fit perfect. Good job!
Haha, well done! Awesome idea and well executed!
Great potential, you should definitely make a post compo version!
Love it, has a Darksouls vibe going on.
A little gem, you can be proud of yourself. Too bad the others decided not to enter.
Awesome game! Had fun, very polished!
Good concept, too bad you couldn't finish in time.
Had the same error as MrMordem.
Fun game! Had a blast.
Haha this made me laugh. Well done! Especially loved that you also had a bonus level!
Good gameplay, was enjoyable.
Awesome game, awesome take on the theme! The complete package.
Awesome game, would love a bigger hitbox on the fish and spikes.
lol, that ending!
Good game, had fun playing it. You should definitely expand on this. :)
Awesome entry, saw this one during the jam and was looking forward to play it. It was well worth the wait and I'm glad I found it during the voting period. This is well made and everything fits together perfectly!
Haha, properly executed. Excellent entry!
Interesting, would love to see this more fleshed out. Has a nice FTL feeling going on.
Fun game, liked it a lot!
Is it correct that I can't smash any peasants?
Awesome game, makes me wonder if there is a way to beat it though. I kept on losing despite my actions.
Awesome game! That kraken has a lot of love.
Awesome game, I still find clowns creepy!
Awesome game, some levels are hard others are easy. I love the creepy atmosphere of your game!
Fun game, frustrating at times, love your take on the theme!
Excellent entry! Loved it! :)
Fun game, well made!
Wow, didn't expect that for a game made in 8 hours. Well done!
Awesome, had a great time. The graphics are lovely.
I get a white screen :(
I don't have the white screen in chrome, was a fun experience. Keep at it! :)
lol! Nice entry, had a good laugh! Would like to have a save button or atleast be able to re use the previous face I made. Spent 10 minutes drawing something nice and then it disappeared in the second round.
Good game, hard to master but awesome once you do.
It was fun, I liked the text to speech audio you made.
Well polished game, had a lot of fun. Would like to see more enemies and boss battle of some kind like others mentioned.
Awesome work. The narration and the audio fit the graphics perfectly. An interesting take on the theme, I loved it!
Solid entry, good job! I liked the graphics a lot.
Awesome game, very clever. So much polish!
Fun game, I don't know why I got game overs though?
Pure awesome. Great fun and a brilliant take on the theme.
Awesome work guys! Really great atmosphere!
Excellent, bit confusing at first but I like it. Graphics and Sound are awesome and match eachother.
Pure awesome. Had a blast!
Awesome game, well done!
Haha! Masterpiece! Extraordinary job fitting all this on the cartridge!
Great game, well done!
Thank you for the kind words! :)
There are 6 levels, 5 are locked from the start. To unlock new levels you have to beat the levels.
I'll look into the unlocking problem.
Fixed the level problem, everything should be fine now.
Thank you all for the kind comments and critique and I will consider everything said for a post-compo version.
@Everyonewonderingaboutthespecialpower Besides telling to press 'X' for special attack I didn't properly explain the mechanics of the special in the game. When you can use the special again the character blinks and makes a beeping noise, this happens after a cooldown of 8 seconds. ^_^
Well polished, awesome entry!
Awesome, love destroying stuff as a dinosaur!
Awesome work! Had fun and played this for quite a while. Almost made it to the last upgrade.
I enjoyed the story and I liked the aesthetic. The controls felt a bit stiff but overal an awesome job!
Was a bit difficult figuring out how the controls related to the movement ingame but once I got the hang of it I could stay alive for quite some time. Was fun once I figured it out. :smile:
Solid and strong entry! I wish there were more levels because i really enjoyed! Had a blast blasting planets. :grin:
Awesome game, best simulation I encountered so far! I thoroughly enjoyed playing, thank you!
Awesome game! I really enjoyed it! I felt a bit dissoriented with all the turning but it felt good to have won from the black hole. Solid entry! :)
I liked your game a lot! Had a blast playing it. (partyhorn) I don't know if it was intentional but at the last level there were parts outside of the screen and it was hard getting the gnomes to come within the view of the game.
I would love to play and rate your game but the link is broken
Impressive work! I liked the game and it was satisfying keeping the humans alive for lots of generations. It felt very relaxing. :)
Lovely game! I beat it! The last part is really hard if you don't take your time.
Awesome idea, I really liked your game!
Interesting idea! It's very hard! Would've loved some music with it. There was a minor mistake in the text, it says left click on a block for turning while it is right click.
Awesome relaxing game, was fun getting to a stable orbit! :)
After clearing data I got the game to play properly, I had a good time playing. I like the graphics and the sound, the music fits the game well. I like your progression system and the upgrades felt powerful or handy. It's hard to aim at the robots because of the way they walk. Closing the leaderboards turns of the music because of the placement of the buttons.
