Really awesome execution of the theme.
- It's simple to play without needing to read any instructions.
- I really enjoyed the art style and fluid feel of the gameplay.
Once again, great job.
This game really does look beautiful. The level of polish and finesse of the minimalistic gameplay mechanics and graphics really make this a worthy game.
It was quite a unique experience and haven't played any game quite like this one. Excellent consideration of the theme. It would be awesome to have an awe-inspiring quality of audio design if you choose to develop a post-compo version. Otherwise, very nice!
Thank you to all of you who have tried out my game and support the future development of Cubebia and its gameplay.
I am truly ecstatic to see such positivity from my very first Ludum Dare entry. :)
I shall get around to writing a Post Mortem very soon when my school work begins to ease up.
I'll will also seriously start extending Cubebia into a bigger and better Post Compo!
For those of you who are interested in the development of the game, feel free to follow me on Twitter: @StudioArmix.
And to those of you who have tried out the game, I would love to read your comments. :)

Well, I'm working on Mac with the latest version of LÓVE and all I saw was the ship placed upon a radar-like sprite and heaps of debug information on the sides of the output. Plus nothing responded and yeaaahh... Sorry about that, can't judge.
I played the game and really tried to compel myself to keep searching a seemingly hopelessly long and linear labyrinth, but I just didn't know if I would find anything, or figure out what I was doing there in the first place. It felt a little dull and aimless... If there is something in the darkness, perhaps make it "tease" the player, providing maybe a sense of horror "stingers", whilst also using it as a device to lead the player in what they think is "the right direction". But I have to say that I did like the foggy effect that is evident in the rays of the torchlight.
I really enjoyed playing this. The mood was tremendously amazing. I just wish that I could have met a fellow Rainwalker...
I liked how, through exploring such actions and reading such descriptions, that I actively inferred my own imagination as a driving force behing the game. It acts almost like an soothing stimulant. I somehow really like the raw simplicity of the game. It just seems calming.
Plus I should probably make mention of the polish you included, as your game featured an appropriately dreamy text fade transition between the different stages of the game.
And wow, the loading time was phenomenally quick! ;P
The humor is this game is astoundingly brilliant. I love how people such as yourself still seriously considered the theme "Potato" when developing for "Minimalism". Awesome stuff; would be cool if you added some audio though, and perhaps made a Mac port, because I played through an emulator (I let nothing stop me from playing this game!)
This is a really nice entry, the game feels awesome to play and the graphics are really pretty. Plus the music is nice and the mechanic fits with the theme, so high scores from me. haha I found that "Pointless Achievement" to be rather funny, however I did somehow fall behind the destroyable block guarding the achievement token and got stuck, with no means of destroying the barrier. Other than that, awesome game. :)
A fairly simple game with a cheerful and casual approach, featuring sweet tunes. However I did encounter a game breaking bug upon dying in on level 4, in which the character could no longer move after the defeat screen was shown. Nonetheless, solid work for a HTML5 game in under 48 hours.
Really enjoyed playing through this one. Similar to Super Meat Boy, I was pleasantly frustrated. Nice game, thanks. :)
Visually awesome and (personally) inspiring, however like many others here, I don't really see the theme in this, despite it looking and feeling hectic. :)
A really good game, with (I'm guessing) intentionally awkward controls for the player. My brother and I laughed quite a bit over the difficulty, thanks. :) Keep it up, awesome stuff.
It's a silly concept but that's pretty cool. The aesthetic of the hugger models really sold the game, however I'm not really sure how you lose because my "Hug Count" continues to rise but my character feels no hinderance to anything. And yeah, perhaps instead of spawning too many "huggers" just make them run faster. My computer started lagging after a while. Overall, funny game, keep it up.
I liked the art style, even though its intention is to make it difficult to understand what is going on. Nice game nonetheless, felt kinda balanced.
The art style and pretty everything in this game is hectic. Awesome job for something created in such a short amount of time. Nice work, please keep it up. :)
I liked the smooth and clean way of telling a story. The premise of leaving something behind for (I take it as) love; like @sebastian said: powerful.
Really polished game that simply looks and plays fantastically. :) Love it.
Grassroots is actually such a humorous and innovative idea. I love the fact that you force the player to think politically about what may or may not influence the people's decisions. The simplicity of the "Yes" or "No" mechanic was really nice and the artistic style really tops it off. :) Sweet game, nice work. Ps. The audio can get a little annoying (particularly when answering the questions.)
