Cute!
Great looking, cheerful, and the boss fight was great.
It looks like you got a lot of engine stuff working, nice! The music adds so much, it is super cute. ❤️
Ohhh I get it. COOL! What a clever idea, and well executed. ❤️
Really love the art style, it's super great. A ramping difficulty would be good, and also a restart button! Nice entry. ❤️ 🍩
Plays pretty well, the voice command is novel. The style is just great! Nice work ❤️
This is nice, quite polished and fun to play, if a bit repetitive. I am impressed with how much good level design you managed to do, wow!
The running-out-of-energy really adds a lot to Snake! Way to get it done last minute, that is clutch.
Cooool! The art looks really nice, retro in a great way. The abilities are fun to play with. Nice job!
Really nice looking game, it's fun to see all the critters floating around with you - loved that the squids made ink particle effects! ❤️
Liked the music and the slidey-floaty physics were really fun. Nice space game, be proud! ❤️
This is stylish and fun, and a tough platformer! I liked trying again and again, though. Love the art style, it's really great. ❤️ 💡
Nice! I am awful at FPS games, so maybe the counted against my enjoyment a bit. The look of it is fun, and the sound effects really add a lot. Nice job, really impressive for a jam! ❤️
Slimes are chasing me and throwing spitballs at meee!
Super fun, plays really smooth. Nice work! ❤️
Really nice entry, and I loved how you introduced each new ability. Really smart!
Really fun to play and very smooth. Nice work guys!
Ooh la la, mugged by barrels. Everything looks really nice, but I'm not quite sure what the point is - and the respawn is too slow! I want to play again and again, let me at them! Nice work, guys. 🥖 ❤️ 🥖
Haha, I got swamped by Pokey Mans. What a fun, silly idea! It works really well too. ❤️
I loved this. It is hard and fun! The art and music are totally awesome, the style is amazing. Maybe I should go to confession now, though?? 😆
The music is so great. This is really fun and playful, I could see spending a lot of time on this one! Nice job.
You really nailed a retro feel, I love the style. Pretty fun, and gripping!
Nice job, guys! The art and music are really cute. ❤️
Pretty cute, nice concept. It plays well, and I like the audio. I didn't see the same room in different times idea come through, so not a big hit on the theme for me. But it was fun to be a spooky ghost exploring what felt like a haunted house!
I liked the audio and the pace. I'm not sure I played it right, but I enjoyed it up til the buzzer!
Plays really well, the audio is great and I enjoyed all the little touches - the intro, the monster eyes, the polished level-to-level screens. Nice job!
I love interactive fiction like this, and this was such a slick, stylish entry. Super brave to do something this out-of-the-box and creative for LD, brava!
Cool interpretation of the theme!
Great interpretation of the theme. The starkness and hopelessness reminded me a lot of Papers, Please, which I hope is a big compliment!
Loved the music, it really added to the mood! Great job with the theme, this feels like a fresh murder-mystery night.
Cute intro, gameplay is fun but a little small res! Hard to see what you're doing.
Super stylish, loved the art style! Your inspirations really shine though, and I'm really on board with poor Lewis' plight. Nice job.
This was great, very stylish interpretation. I liked the graphics and audio, nice entry!
The art looks great, and this is a cool interpretation of the theme. I'd love to play the finished game!
This was so beautiful and well done! Congrats, great entry.
Cool color scheme, and I liked the audio.
I love the look of this, very crisp. The music and sound effects look nice too.
Hard, but nice style and feels good to play. I really like the music, it's great with the theme.
Love this style, and the music puzzles are really well done and satisfying!
I liked the sound, the story was great, and the game design is really unusual and fun. I agree with other commenters that more lives and a faster restart would be great - it took me a bit to learn the controls and I just wanted to dive right back in after game overs!
Neat, I liked the badass style!
Liked this a lot! The art looks great and the concept is really interesting and unusual. Really impressive compo entry!
So well done! The art looks great and performs really well.
Super impressive, it looks great and is fun to play!
I'm sorry, it tells me that "The unity player does not run on your system" - Chrome on Linux.
I'm sorry, I can't play Windows games.
This looks interesting! But I can't play it.
Sorry, I can't play Windows games.
Sorry, I can't play Windows games.
I can't run this entry...
I don't think I'm able to play this? Chrome on Linux, seems to show a white screen.
Very pretty!
Nice!
Lovely rocks and explosions.
I like that you used Ren'Py. But the lack of interaction turned me off. "Something grew inside us... It was our self-actualization"?
Maybe visual novels aren't my thing.
Fantastic. I got fired so much and came back ready for more.
Well, you did say it would make me mad.
I liked the music and it looks pretty polished... well, the first little bit that I saw... over, and over, and over again!
Well this is just adorably ridiculous, my favorite type of game! The sound effects add a lot, and I liked the zany animations and characters. Well done!
I loved the art style and music, really nice assets. The game is pretty fun, but the controls seem a little sluggish to me. The gameplay is a little monotone. Maybe on a faster computer than mine it runs a little quicker and feels more dynamic.
This was a pretty cute idea. The sound effects were a little uneven, and I was missing a lose screen/message after the POP!, but the gameplay and bird flapping are nicely done.
I'm sorry, I can't rate Windows games!
I'm sorry, I can't rate Windows games!
I'm sorry, I don't have Unity and I run Linux, so I can't play!
Nice pixel graphics! I apparently don't have the reflexes to even get past the first two horizontal birds. =P
This looks cute, but the Web link is broken.
I'm sorry, I can't play this on my computer (Linux).
I get "The Unity player does not work on your system". Chrome on Linux.
I'm sorry, I can't play this (on Linux).
I liked this a lot! The view-drag was a little cumbersome, but it works. I enjoyed the music, it added a dreamy, meditative vibe, and the tool tip instructions were perfect.
I'm sorry, I can't rate Windows games!
I'm sorry, I'm on Linux, and I can't rate this.
I can't get this to run (in Chrome on Linux). Sorry!
I'm sorry, I can't rate Windows games!
I can't rate Windows games, sorry!
I can't rate Windows games, sorry!
I can't play windows games, sorry!
Charming!
This is amazingly great. It's so slick and well-done, and fun! You should be really proud :)
Unfortunately I cannot run this, Linux and Web only.
My pet programmer and I loved this entry. Also, the soundtrack kept me PUMPED for DEBATE, which is more than I can say for my highschool debate coach...
Great job!
Unfortunately I cannot run this, Linux and Web only.
It's really well done in terms of graphics and movement. The art style is nice. It's a bit grim and unguided for me to spend much time in, though, and I'm not sure I see an unconventional weapon here!
Nice graphics and cool audio.
I don't want to install 7-zip to play this game.
I couldn't see any particular relationship to the theme.
Great tutorial level and gameplay, such adorable art, and the sound was great! You should be so proud, this is wonderful :)
What a good idea! I liked the atmosphere.
Is the name a reference to Project ORION?
I liked that the aliens got more and more frequent over time - but they could perhaps try to avoid one another.
The sound effects are wonderful! It was fun and intuitive.
Lovely old-school game!
Is there a way to see the source code? I don't know PICO-8
Yay, I killed the king! The clingy banana projectiles were pretty obnoxious/challenging. I like this idea, and it was well executed!
./KILLIPEDES.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I don't know how to run this on Linux.
Cute game. Amazing music. Strong graphics. What did this game have to do with "an unconventional weapon"?
./Chessboard Death Race.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I don't understand how to run this (on Linux).
I click the "Linux" link, and wait, but nothing happens.
I'd like to play this, but I don't see how to navigate to the web game from the web link.
Nice! I liked the distribution of problems. I saved Frank!
On my screen the updownleftright symbols showed as boxes.
The gameplay is really interesting! I wish there was more of a "win" or an end, but it's fun and sort of relaxing to paint with your little friend :)
I like the game, but I LOVE your copy.
I'm sorry, I can't play this - Linux or Web only.
Made me laugh and laugh, great job!
I'm sorry, I can't play this, Linux and Web only.
This is so great, love the art and audio, and how easy and fun it is to pick up!
GREAT audio and music. Amazing!

Sorry, I can't play this, Linux and Web only.
I think I figured out how to work it, but I agree that once I was ready to do stuff, it seemed really slow! Love the music and mood though.
Cheerful, but it felt like you shoehorned "I practiced this run cycle dammit" into the theme.
Sorry, this doesn't work for me, Linux and Web only.
Sorry Windows and Java don't work for me, Web or Linux only.
Windows doesn't work for me, sorry, Linux or web.

Oh this is really fun! I liked the combination of surface adventuring and beneath the surface puzzles, and the cargo graphics were so unexpected and cute! Nice job!
Art and music are adorable, I wish the controls and movement were a little more intuitive and immediate! I loved seeing an avalanche game though, nice creative idea.
Whoa, quite cool! The sense of depth was really tangible, nice job.
Pretty fun!
Funny and fun :D
Would have liked to have played, wish the web link was a working copy of the game.
So charming!
Fun!
Really playable and fun! I liked the ability to "sneak" as well as outright smashing, and the UI and controls were super intuitive. Wish it had highlighted a little more beneath the surface, but great game!
So cute graphically and musically. Wish the mechanics were a little more forgiving at first, I lost patience but was intrigued by the story!
Really great, rates high from me on all counts!
Pretty, but seems lacking a purpose, and I don't feel a strong connection to agoraphobia or beneath the surface.
This was really fun, and scores big on humor for me!
Cool! I too would have liked a little more handholding early on. Great work!
This is so creative and the audio is great. I loved how you hit the theme so well. I wish the visual style was a little more cohesive, and as ccglp says, mmore levels please!
This is lovely! Great choices on color palette and sounds, just pitch-perfect and beautifully simple.
I like the music and the colorful graphics. I wish it was a little easier on the eyes - I get that you're going for edgy serial killer, but the strobe effects in the beginning and the fast gameplay are tough at the end of LD! Maybe it'll be easier to play tomorrow :)
Great work!
Beautiful and so nice to play! I like the intuitive controls a lot. I wish the clouds matched the cute cartooney theme, but it's a tiny gripe!
This is so fun and crisp! I am a little lost on the connection to the theme.
Cute graphics, gameplay is fun and challenging. I found the music unpleasant/offputting and didn't match the cute bright mood, sorry!
Very cool - a bit tedious and as KumoKairo mentioned, the user interface, while it does have a distinct "feel", could have been better optimized for human players' eyes :)
Cute graphics and music. Really did not get how such cheerful mood translated into fighting depression, or how the game connected to beneath the surface.
Cute graphics, gameplay is very fun! As you note, you don't see much connection to the theme/story.
Not working! Link points to a blank page with text "The developer has not uploaded a game yet..."
Love it, great work!
Definitely needed some exposition on plot and connecting to the theme, but the art and animation look great!
Looks beautiful, bummer it wasn't done in time!
Fun and I love the graphics. Not sure how it fits the theme.
Bummer I can't play!
This looks cool, I hope you guys finish it!
Nice art!
Peaceful and beautiful, nice job!
First game to make me laugh out loud with joy! So much fun, nice job :)
Wish it wasn't a full install - screenshots look cute, but that's a barrier to me.
Really great! So elegant and fun :)
Looks nice and the humor was there, but I needed a skip button for the long audio!
Awesome! I definitely had the browser size bug and almost gave up, glad I read your note!
Appreciated the instructions on the first page. Fun to explore around and see your humor!
Nice graphics, bit confused without instructions/demo/anything in the game.
The immediacy and vibrancy of the graphics is really fun, and the music is nice. I didn't have much sense of progress, but it was a fun click-stuff-see-things-happen game.
I liked your lighting effect, really added to the mood!
LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres (11)
KEYBOARD WARRIOR by croewens 2018-04-25T12:00:52Z ♥ 1
Nice work, especially without libraries. I would like to see more roguelike elements - maybe a procedurally generated map which is regenerated on death, or the opportunity to pause and think about the best next action. On the other hand, there is another genre, the "run and gun" games, such as Bloody Wolf. If you were willing to describe it as a run-and-gun + typing game, then there might be less to do - some side scrolling and a little level design.
Build The Road Jack by badpaul34 2018-04-24T11:43:46Z ♥ 2
Wow, gorgeous. There was clearly some attention to making building the track really smooth and fluid. I would have liked to see two genres be combined - maybe the roadbuilding mode could be closer to Pipe Dream (build the road to connect A and B before the fluid filling the road leaks out), or closer to RollerCoaster Tycoon (attract as many racers to your road as you can). But regardless, the execution on the cyberpunk racer genre (like Distance) is great.
Happy Quiz by SophieM 2018-04-24T11:32:24Z ♥ 2
That's impressive.
Pipe Warrior, Mech Dream by Aerynus 2018-04-24T11:20:55Z ♥ 0
The pipe dream / mech genre mashup is very clear, and doing 3d graphics is impressive. But it was too hard for me - I died 3 times from leaks without firing a single shot. It is almost like a demake Zachtronics's "The Bureau of Steam Engineering", isn't it?
Prophylaxis by ruerob-hyky 2018-04-24T11:13:36Z ♥ 0
I wasn't able to traverse the pink geysers; my platforming is not that good. The platformer genre is definitely present.
Do You Even Build, Bro? by HarveyU 2018-04-24T11:09:49Z ♥ 0
What are the two genres that you were combining?
Jammer Tank by Jonnymentero 2018-04-24T11:03:56Z ♥ 1
The tank felt very physicsy - the separately rotating top component and the tracks really helped convince me it was a tank game.
Black Hole Zoo by Weekend Panda 2018-04-24T02:56:37Z ♥ 1
The graphics were charming.
Driving simulator by Nickc5802 2018-04-24T02:37:17Z ♥ 0
I'm sorry it didn't work out this jam.
The Colossal Carrot Caper by rush 2018-04-24T02:34:30Z ♥ 0
Accomplishing 3d is really impressive. I wish the stealth half was more visible.
Shump Racing by Rayquarian 2018-04-24T02:19:34Z ♥ 0
I liked the crunchy pixels in the texture of the walls
