I had a hard time with the controls. And I got stuck in a "pit", couldn't jump out. Unfortunately, the "S" key for restart meant I restarted at times when I didn't want to. Loved the artstyle and sound/mood.
I liked the art style, but the radar didn't work for me so finding all 7 pearls dragged on a bit. Relaxing.
Interesting concept. Liked the idea, but was hard to figure out what I was supposed to do at first. Once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed it.
At first I couldn't find the play button. Once I did I enjoyed the game, but controls with a mouse are difficult. Creative idea. Well done!
Unique. Fun. Hard!
Fun game. It felt like a poor man's Risk of Rain. Great first entry! :)
First LD29 I've finished. I liked the art style. Fun!
It took a couple tries to get used to the controls, but fun game. I'm not very good. I got a hi score of 4! Nice graphics. Well done!
I couldn't manage to get the two rings that were located outside. Nice sound.
Looks like fun. I like the mechanics, but I can't seem to get past the first enemy. Nice job on your first entry!
Good controls. Nice graphics. I had fun. Well done!
Fun. The first web game I've played on my Surface that has had perfect controls. Nicely done!
Fun game. Well done for your first entry!
Liked the gameplay, loved the simplicity and the sound. Well done, extra kudos for being a first timer!
Loved the controls. Great writing!
Wow! Really unique idea. The "just delete them" level took me the longest to figure out. Felt like a doofus after. This was my first Ludum Dare. I only wish my second turns out as well as yours! Well done!
Moved a bit slow, but fun game. Didn't know how much towers cost or what the two numbers meant. Could have used a start screen to allow one to play again without exiting. I liked the right-click menu. Would love to see where you'd end up with a bit more time.
Nice job!
Unique idea. Not easy to play, but fun. Great job!
Wow! Great game. Fits the theme perfectly. Had a lot of fun with this one. There was one sound when walking that got a bit annoying, but otherwise, no complaints. Nicely done!
Fun game. Took a bit to figure out what I was trying to do. Liked the idea and loved the swinging mechanic. Good job!
Wow! Very unique idea. I really liked the first level. But the difficulty spiked pretty quickly. Would recommend a less "steep" progression. Really liked it though.
Great looking game! Unique mechanic. Fun!
Looks good. Plays well. Nice!
Really liked the concept. Couldn't get past three coins, though. Needs sound and possibly a double jump, at least with the prevalence of stairs taller than 1 square. Simplicity was great!
Really liked the overall presentation, including multiple modes, high scores, mute option. The main mode got tough quickly. Great job!
Nice game. Love Scratch. +1 :)
Fun game. Needs tighter controls. Couldn't submit scores. All that aside, I enjoyed it :)
Fun. Finished. You Win! :)
Loved it! Spent more time playing this than most of the other games I've played (100+). Great job in keeping with the theme, but keeping it fun!
Unique. Not a fan of the style/genre, but that's a preference. Executed well. Should. Have. Made. A. Map. :)
BEAUTIFUL! Simple gameplay. I guess the animals can't really be fed, or at least I didn't figure out how. Fun!
Great way to use the theme! I enjoyed it and played thru til the end. Nice job!
Interesting, but a bit too slow for me.
Wow! Looks amazing! Plays great! Nice job!
Minimal! Fun, but needs some sound to keep me playing. Nice job!
Liked the graphics and it fit with the theme. Had a hard time interacting with the pinks. Just killed them but no energy. Not sure what else to do???
Loved the graphics, but struggled a bit with the controls. Would have loved to slowly be ramped up into the right difficulty. Died too early.
Super fun game! Spent more time on this game than almost all the others I've played. I liked the difficulty progression. Well done!
Fun! But got hard quickly! Nice idea.
Great graphics. Original idea. Will definitely play again. Nicely done!
Cool, simple game. Fun! Just need more friends! :)
Simple, hard, fun! Well done!
Fun! Really enjoyed it. Good job!
Loved the look and simplicity. Struggled a bit with the controls, but still enjoyed it. Great job!
Nice! After about five tries, I finally committed the Perfect Crime! Fun. Nicely done.
Obviously needs work, but congrats on getting something in!
Wow! I really liked it. Loved the simplicity of the look and controls. The music worked well. And the introduction of new elements came at the perfect pace.
Well done!
I love the dancing! Unfortunately, the cops proved too hard to avoid for me. 8/12 :(
Nice job!
Very unique idea. I enjoyed it, but never really learned the strategy. High Score: 56 :(
I enjoyed it. Unique. It was a nice break from all the platformers :)
I did have problems anytime there were two items occurring simultaneously. Maybe it was my fat fingers, but I swear I hit them both at the same time yet it never registered.
I died at 53 :(
Very unique concept. I'd love to slow the player down just a bit as it all moved too quickly for me. Also, anything with that many instructions is going to be tough since I'm more apt to ignore and dive in. But then I'm lost.
Again, I like the idea, art, and sound. Just would appreciate a bit of a guide/tutorial before dropping me in the huge world. (To be fair, I'm an old fart) :)
Nicely done!
Good game. It took a while to figure out the controls. Especially the teleport on one level. Then I got totally stuck a couple later.
Congrats on your 1st Ludum Dare! (It was my first too!)
Interesting visuals. Good music. I struggled a bit with the controls, but enjoyed it.
Couldn't get up to two minutes, but I got close! Fun game. Simple mechanic. I like the land on tank idea. Could use some sound. Was hoping different amounts of time would give me different ranks. When it didn't then I kinda gave up.
Novel idea. Perhaps start with a smaller space and less enemies? My first time it took me > 7 minutes. Yes, I suck :)
Great job on your first Ludum Dare! (It was my 1st time too!)
Fun game. Liked the idea and music. Wish the moving platforms carried the player.
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare! (It was mine too!)
Neat morphing, but wish there was more.
Fun. Definitely look into how to add sound as it'll help keep players engaged.
Unique. It's like playing two perpendicular instruments in guitar hero!
Awesome. I made it thru all the loading text! Should have taken a screenshot of the youtube link. The whole family was around me reading. Great stuff! Oh, and the game was great too ;)
Neat. I wish I had a little more control over the writing process, but extremely creative. Just add a bit of music and the ability to see the final poem with the real characters. Great work!

Really liked this one. Unique controls make it super fun. I will definitely play this one again. Great job!
Simple, but hard...and fun. Can't seem to get past 5...but I keep trying! :)
Five mini-games? Wow! Lots of fun. Great job!
Original idea. Really liked the style. Well done!
Fun game. Great for you first! It was my first too! :)
Really fun game.
Original + Katamari + POTATO = WINNER! :)
Interesting game and idea. The controls were difficult, especially after the first couple easy levels. If those were fixed, would be cool!
Loved the look and sound. And while it was fun, it seemed "too easy", though I doubt that difficulty was a goal. Fun. Fun. Fun!
Fun! Really well done overall. Good gameplay. Nice graphics. Catchy music + sound effects (and the ability to mute).
I couldn't pass Level 12, but not for a lack of trying. I cleared the screen, but then just a few "trails" stuck around and would never completely go away. 5500+ from walls. 10000+ by collisions.
Good idea, but the controls were really tough to both learn and master. Would recommend some sound.
Really simple. Good sound effects. Lots of fun. Nicely done!
The music was good, but my space bar is now dead ;)
Interesting mechanic. The music loop got a little tired. Nice!
Not sure I understand how to control the game. Whether I "used" the controls or not, I didn't see any difference. Liked the visuals, though.
Really hard to read the instructions at first. But then I kinda figured it out...I think :)
Loved the mood music.
Fun! I wish the downtime between game over, countdown, and go was faster. With weak times like mine i was waiting more than playing. 16.57
It was fun once I figured out that there was a green bullet. That said, once I fired with green, I never seemed to get blue again. Strategy? or bug?
Great, original concept. Liked the style. And the audio was funny. Nice job!
Doesn't run on Windows 7 :(
Fun, simple game. Not a fan of being told that "I suck", especially when I got a whopping 1989.
Nicely done. +1 for LOVE :)
Very original idea. Could use a bit less volume. Liked it!
Glad I never had a stepfather. Apparently he really wanted me dead (x5). Nice simple game. Gets hard fast. Fun!
Wow! Two days? Wow! I really enjoyed it. That's amazing work for 48 hours. Can't imagine how much better it'll get with a bit more time. Loved it! Well done.
I really liked the concept. I'd like a few more audio clues that things are/aren't going well.
Not as fast as some, but 305 ain't bad! :)
Nice! I could probably play this for WAY too long. Love the auto-save. I'll definitely be coming back to this one. :)
It's the new Don Quixote! Great idea and implementation. Loved it! :)
I really enjoyed it. Love the idea of the sounds/music.
It would have been nice to have a few (three?) difficulties which are actual well known, but simple, yet increasingly more difficult songs. I would also like an end screen to pause and see what I've accomplished rather than the feeling that it didn't matter and back to the next game.
Maybe I'm just proud of my 3010 pts! :)
Good job.
It was fun. Like a simple Terraria game.
Loved the music and voices. Took me a second to figure out exactly how to play (even with the instructions).
Absolutely loved the Timelapse. It's great to get a "behind the scenes" peek and learn about tools that others are using as part of their work. I'll definitely be looking into GameAnalytics and finally putting my free Trello account to use. :)
P.S. My game link had died and you were kind enough to point it out. Thanks! It's since been fixed.
Solid game. The music was perfect for the style of play. I was hoping for either an "undo" button or at least an "I give up" button as a mistake meant instead of getting a 2 I ended up with an 18 (which didn't affect me any differently).
Other than my mistake which caused me to move around like crazy just to continue, I enjoyed it!
I liked the simple mechanic, but struggled as early as level 2. Perhaps having a better idea what was coming down below would have helped. Also, the larger tile size made it hard to judge exactly when to split. It seemed like there was a perfect solution that I kept missing (as opposed to having a bit more slack). Nice overall!
Is there anyway to put a simple .exe instead of an installer?
I liked the speed increase, until it got crazy fast! Instead of just the speed increase, I was expecting the walls to close in. Like others have said, some kind of timer/counter to try to keep me playing to beat my best.
The main character was a tad small for an old-timer like myself. But overall I liked the simplicity.
I thought it was fun, but totally missed the health bar the first time thru. Oops!
The controls were hard...for me. Perhaps support WASD since the mouse is necessary for shooting.
Great job for your first Ludum Dare. It was my first too! :)
I liked the idea, but getting stuck along the corners wasn't fun. The map felt too big so there were long stretches of just trying to get to the next key location. Would recommend some sound/music to help with the mood. I liked the three bosses, but seems like I just died after a single hit? from the yellow "sea horse".
I had a good laugh with a few of the different combinations. :)
I know you listed the keys above, but really wish firing were something other than G. I liked the sound and gameplay. Perhaps you could give a bit of invincibility when respawning?
I like that the playfield changes as the game progresses. Makes it harder as you play more. My first playthru was horrible, but once i figured out the idea, I enjoyed it. Nice job!
I remember playing this forever as a kid! Any way to speed it up?
Like the graphical style, but wish I could die. The end was a bit scary! :)
Similar to @wolfadex, I can't connect to the game. I get a not found error. Weird. :(
I kinda wish you had two friends, or at least two more lives. Getting close to two minutes only to start over makes it hard to stick with. I'd rather be able to continue a time or two. Especially since I only got to two different enemies. The music and visuals worked well in setting the mood.
I liked the polished, clean look. The controls felt a little loose. Overall I enjoyed it.
I like the nature of the three different colored blocks. The music got a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed the game overall. The transition upon getting the potato seemed a bit too quick/disorienting. Would love to see more levels. Well done!
Very soothing. Love the crispness of the graphics. Nice!
Nice idea. Getting a chance to edit the level made it fun. Initially I thought gravity might eliminate some options when exiting edit mode, but that would probably be too hard (to play).
Wow! Really liked the idea. Though it got hard, fast. At least for me. Will definitely come back to this one.
Liked the music. Not sure how focus works (didn't seem to affect gameplay). Unfortunately it crashed/froze for me all three times after about the 3rd or 4th wave (about 2100+ points). Pretty hard (ie. mucho bullets)
That was fun! Couldn't beat 31 seconds, but I tried dozens of times :)
Interesting!

Love the music. High score = 12. Nice job!
