The graphics and lighting look nice, so does the character animation. The physics works well except for the zombie's hitbox that is a bit too tall so you can get hit by jumping from a ledge where there is a zombie beneath.
Very nice game. It's quite challenging. The game mechanic is really fun and fits perfectly in the theme. The retro/glitchy-like graphics a quite fitting too. Overall very good job!
Very funny game! Simple but effective. The graphics are very nice and polished and the physics really smooth. I like the controls configuration thing at the beginning. It's a really nice idea to make sure everybody can play without changing their keyboard layout.
The physics of the objects launched by the weapon is a bit off sometimes but the objects you throw are quite funny. I was a bit annoyed when I saw that I couldn't come back from the last room to get the laptop I had skipped, so I couldn't finish the game unfortunately. :(
However climbing on the ceiling was really fun!
Pretty good game overall.
Really cool game ! Coherent from start to finish with a really fitting mood. The controls are easy enough to figure out and overall the game mechanics are understandable easily without much help needed.
The enemies are challenging without being unfair, though I had trouble figuring out that light didn't do anything to them.
All the levels are feasible and challenging without being too difficult and they are appropriately progressive.
Great job overall, even though apart from the lighting effects, the graphics are a bit dull.
Oh I almost forgot, I love the cutscene screens. :D
Pretty good game, definitely a solid entry. The graphics, the mood and the audio are very coherent. The game is indeed quite hard. I like that we're not too guided but we have the necessary information to play.
Level design-wise, there are a few problems, mainly jumps that are quite difficult to achieve (sometimes when you have a wall above you).
I like the somewhat open-worldness.
I didn't get to the end unfortunately, some parts are really frustrating, but maybe I'm just bad.
Really good entry anyway! :)
Well that was not easy but I got one third of the solution at least. :D The story is very well written and it is not easy at all to find the culprit. Good job!
Really really solid entry. The mechanics are easily understandable without much explanations. The graphics are extremely nice and polished and it's not too long or too short to test it fully. The physics is just a bit slow which can be annoying at times. Other than that great game!
The game mechanics are really interesting, but it is really hard to succeed because of how many people there are at once on the screen. Otherwise it would have been a really fun game I guess.
Really good strategy game! Kept me playing a long time. Unfortunately I ended running out of food. :/
I really liked how the music changes when the opponents start attacking. The AI are quite hard to beat but with some more time playing it may be feasible. ^^
Really nice game! The mechanics are simple but very attractive. It's a really nice and dark interpretation of the theme. I like it a lot. The graphics are also very nice and moody. I have to admit it's a bit freaky. ^^ I was just wondering if it was normal that the HUD with the instructions wouldn't disappear. Also you get lost quite easily, but that's kind of the point a guess. Great work!
Interesting game! Fighting with light it really fun! :D It would've been nice to be able to see how much life is left on the zombies though. Nice job!
Good game in its genre. A bit hard to handle at first but once you get used to it it's really easy to play. The crafting mechanics are fun. I didn't get to the end though, only to the 6th level. :/
This game is quite fun. However it's a bit difficult to have the travelers go where you want. The graphics look childish at first but they are very coherent and very fitting with the mood of the game, so great work on that!
Yay I got 10800 points or so. \o/ Simple game but works well. I do agree with what uvwar said, it would have been nice if the movements were not so "static".
Overall a pretty good game but there are a few issues that make playing past the first boss a bit too difficult, but I'm sure they are small issues to fix.
The main problem is that levels are not reset correctly are thus in some configurations it becomes impossible to catch a moving line without exiting the line (I gave up after spending 15 minutes on 2.6 unfortunately) which is thus unfair and can irritate the player.
For the levels, you can figure out easily what each thing does which is good. One of the problem is the amount of requirement to complete a level : get all the keys, have > 80% and not exiting the line more than a given number of times. It makes it hard to keep track of everything. Maybe having some levels with or without some requirements would have been nice.
The boss fight is pretty cool, but I'm wondering if it was really necessary. I mean I know you love including bosses in your games but because of that, you introduced a dmg/def up/down mechanics in the level that the player won't really understand before he has fought a boss, which is a bit counter intuitive.
Graphics-wise, the simplicity and juiciness of the top part of the screen is not too coherent with the more classical and detailed bottom part. But I guess it's just a matter of taste.
Sounds-wise, everything is good, and I like that you did some sounds with your voice.
Once refined and simplified a little bit, it would make a great game for tablets and smartphones!
Looks good, plays well, this is definitely a solid entry. The music is slightly annoying though. Being able to mute it would have been enjoyable. It's quite challenging but not frustrating. Good job!
Really nice interpretation of the theme. The game is smooth and really fun to play. Great job!
The game mechanics are really interesting! Your game is extremely well polished and the mood and graphics are perfect. Extremely solid entry! Funnily enough, I has a similar idea about attraction and repulsion but I used magnetic energy and a mobile device. ;)
Really really nice mood! The graphics are gorgeous and the atmosphere is captivating. It's definitely not a conventional game but a fun game to toy with. The physics is a bit glitchy and I have not figured out how to change the direction I'm looking to, if there is any way to do so. I would love to see this extended into a game when spreading this moss becomes a mechanic!
Really beautiful game! However in its current state, the music doesn't quite reflect what is happening on the screen. I would love to see a finished version of the game, with the robots you were talking about, given how it already looks, I guess it would be a really fun game.
Pretty nice game. I like the graphics a lot. The controls are very smooth. More variety in the gameplay would have been nice though. Also it's sometimes difficult to see the enemies when they are behind a wall.
Really nice and sad mood and interpretation of the theme.
It's definitely hard trying not to get hit by the fire particles from the missile.
Really cool game mechanic! The physics is smooth and works well. The mood is really coherent and the graphics are really well done. The only problem I think is that the viewport is a bit too small so it's a bit hard to see where to go sometimes. Other than that good job.
I had way too much fun slaying cute little creatures, I feel like a monster now. :D Great job man! The graphics are really polished and coherent, and the audio is really nice too.
Very cool game! The game mechanic is really original and "stressful" as you say. ^^ The graphics are extremely polished and so is the music. Great mood overall. It would make for a really great mobile game.
Wow that was so funny I completely lost my sh*t playing it. ^^ Great job! The physics are really derpy and it's really hard to play but it's hilarious. Great job on that. The music is also really cool!
Pretty fun games, but I like broccolis, why should i kill them. :( ^^
Anyway the graphics are really nice and the controls really smooths. The only annoying thing is that you can't go backwards, which make avoiding enemies a bit tricky. Also the overall view is a bit limited so you can only see the enemies at the last moment. Maybe increasing the field of view would have been a good idea.
Good game though, and the jam toast and broccolis are definitely not conventional. ^^
Really good concept and interpretation of the theme! This "real life event" of yours must have been damn funny.
The music fits well too.
It would be interesting to extend the game with a way to make the ants behave not so randomly, like find a way to attract them to some extent.
Good entry! :)
I feel like the game has a lot of potential that you didn't fully exploit. For example you have played a sound everytime we caught a pizza, or you could have synchronized the pizzas with the music, because i found it difficult to keep the rythm at which the pizzas arrive when the tempo of the music is different. Other than that it's a pretty good entry.
I had a lot of fun playing this games. The only annoying thing is the floaty controls. It's like there is little to no gravity. Other than that it's a really cool game. Good job.
Really nice atmosphere. You very quickly feel overwhelm by all the stuff you have to do, it's extremely effective in that sense. It made me want to play Paper Please. :)
I like that it's not too long too, but just long enough to introduce all the game mechanics and to make you want to kill this damn virtual boss. ^^
I'll never trust my cat again.
Very cool and innovative concept. Hard to understand at first, but it makes for a very challenging puzzle game. Nicely done.
Very nice game, there is really not much negative to say about it. The mood is perfect, and it fits the theme perfectly. However the extremely low-res style made animations and scrolling seem not smooth, and kind of gave me motion sickness for some reason. But really good entry anyway.
Nice game, I like the graphics style. Not so the music though. I ran out of foxes pretty early unfortunately. The game mechanics are simple but well executed. Camera control feels a bit clunky, for it is not too much of a problem when playing the game.
Very nice game, pretty difficult but cool nonetheless. A really well crafted game for a first entry. The music is really fitting too.
The graphics are nice and polished, and the music pretty cool. The game mechanics are solid, but the animations, "cut scenes" and pretty every transition in the game are extremely long, which make playing the game not a very enjoyable experience. If these problems were solved though, it would be a pretty good game.
Pretty nice game, I like how depth is represented. The minimap is really nice too. The voice acting adds a nice touch. Good entry.
It can be tricky to get a decent random level generator working in 48 hours, so congrats for that! The sound effects are quite annoying. Instead of adding them just for the sake of having them there it would have been more logical to get rid of them. A simple thing you could have done to have some gameplay would have been simply collecting some kind of item in the level, and simply implementing an exit to find. Sure it wouldn't have been very original, but it would have given a goal to the game. Sure it would have taken some time, but it may have been more profitable that time spent on sound effects. Anyway, I hope you'll apply the knowledge of random level generation you've gathered this time to make a great game next time. ;) Oh and nice shadows. :D
Nice concept and well executed. A little more attention towards graphics would have been a nice addition. Solid entry anyway.
This was a really well thought and crafted game, it fits the theme perfectly. However, since it is just said if there is one pit adjacent, but it does not say how many there are, it makes some choices random. But I guess it's part of the challenge.
The game is gorgeous, I love the graphics style. Unfortunately there is not much to do.
I like how the graphics serve the gameplay in your game. The mechanics are not very innovative, but well executed anyway, which is what matters. Nice entry.
Very nice and atmospheric game. The ending was really nice. Maybe a bit too linear though. The lack of details made it hard to grasp to scale of the landscape, but I guess it unavoidable given the choice of using a low-poly style.
Very nicely done. The first person magic spells casting reminds me of Hexen. :D Turning with the arrow keys felt a bit too slow though. Turning around with the mouse would be more enjoyable I think, even though it may feel less "old-school". :D
Interesting game, and very pretty! I don't really see the link with the theme though, but it's a jam entry so it's not too important. It would have been interesting to have a list of the elements we have discovered as we discover theme.
