Amazing! The progressive level design, all the details in the environment, and interesting mechanics. Five Star!
Interesting! Nice art and music, innovative gameplay. Though the rotation of the floors is a bit confusing.
I really like the art style, nice job! However, the gameplay is a bit short - just when I expect something interesting to happen, it ends.. But the overall feel of the game is nice.
One more thing, if you could add path finding (won't trigger if the whole path cannot be seen) in the maz, it might make the control feels smoother.
The game is very interesting! Gameplay is innovative, instruction is great, also you have simple but nice graphics.
though if u can support 2-4 players that would be awesome!
Btw, the transition between micro and macro environment reminds me of a game called Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime.
The art looks very nice!
The graphics is nice. But the control needs more polished. A bit too short, I just turn on the pipe and jump up to the top and I win?
Awesome game! Very innovative control of an octopus! Very impressive!
Nice game! Very fun and innovative, though quite difficult...
Nice game! The soliders are cute, the way enemies pop out is also quite innovative. Though more controls can be given to the players like where to reinforce.
Thanks guys @pansapiens @matthias_zarzecki!
Thank you all for the warm reviews and supports :)
@nicolashognon, wow, that the greatest comment anyone working in AI can receive!
I like the minimalism art style, and the music. However, I'm not so sure what to do in the game. The death penalty, as mentioned above, is not worthy, I restart when I dropped. But the control and mood is nice.
The control feels good, the lighting definitely makes the game feel more horror..However, after 5, 6 times try, always die suddenly..
Nice game! Great lighting effects, which not just make the game looks great, but also makes the gameplay much more fun and challenging!
Solid drilling :)
However, more variety could be added to make it more challenging I guess :)
Nice game, the control is smooth and simple, gameplay is also fun. If the enemy AI can be improved then it's awesome.
The game has very nice graphics and effects, which is my favourate. The controls are feels good, simple and yet challenging, though the the actions of the characters can be more solid, as it's an action game, sort of. However, I still can't get the idea behind the game after playing for 3 times... Maybe more explicit would be better :)
Beautiful game. The use of light sprites in the title screen is vivid. The bubble particles is also very real. Gameplay is also fun and challenging. Nice work.
I like art, war drum music, and scream of the man! And I like the setting also, a different god game.
The control, yeah, is quite difficult..
The mechanic is great, seeing things beyond the surface and utilise it to solve puzzles. However, the control, I think, still can be more polished :)
Great work! The control is quite innovative and simple. But it is still very addictive as the tracking and hitting the worms give a sense of complishment
The art of the game is great! The concept of the game is also interesting, fun game!
The gameplay is innovative, but to me it seems it doesn't fit the theme very well. Or maybe I miss something?
Nice work! Love the way the cube guy jumps, it's so jelly :) The level design is interesting. The control also feels smooth, but if movement can be a little more faster, matching the force of the jump, would make it better. In conclusion, nice work for 48 hours!
Great graphics and mood!
It's awesome! The camera movement, the environment, the music, the rag doll characters, and even the skeletons in the menus and credit scene, all of these elements blend extremely well.
Sad thing is I could not save any of them. May be that's what the creator wants I guess :)
I love the details of the game. The background is deep and colorful, and the transformations makes it even better. It's also surprising that I can see the next level in the background, maybe I should remember it (but it's too difficult).
I'm not so sure if that's the control feel I would expect for a shooting game, especially for a submarine..but the art is good, especially the gradual change of the color of the sea :)
The art is awesome! nice game play also, but sometimes I dont know how i died..
lol the sound effect is interesting. The gameplay is good, but there is not so much room left for the player to react as the ship and enemies are so big in terms of the screen size.
I will pay for it if you publish the game! An interesting defense shooter with fantastic graphics. Great job!
Nice details, like the track of the vehicle. The graphics is nice too. But it seems it doesn't reflect the theme obviously. And the collider for the parts should be bigger!
Awesome game! The art & sound is very impressive. The gameplay is also very solid. Great job!
Awesome graphics, realistic physics and control, great mood. If the gameplay can have more variety, then it's perfect.
Classic art style! Creative gameplay! Love it!
Interesting game. The graphics is clean and nice. The controls feels very smooth, which is very important for explorations games. Resource management wise, it's a bit confusing if I can't have an overall view of the data. Maybe some UI will help? But anyway, a nice job!
I like how the worlds are transitioned between! The art is nice too. The pace of the game is a bit too fast for me, though it's just a personal preference.
Haha, it's a game that will make one laugh. Though not so related to the theme but nice work.
I agree with DeathPidgeon that this type of game is very complex to make it right. However, the game is still interesting to play. Good job!
Awesome art and sound. It's very nice that RTS can be simplified to this dimension, and yet keeps what's most fun about it.
Your work also reminds me of another game Solar Max 2. It's quite impressive to have done so much in 48 hours.
The only minor flaw may be the game is "too minimalism". For me, I would like a bit more data about the current world status. But anyway, impressive work!
I want to make some more comments after I finished all the levels.
The game becomes deeper as progress further. More sides are added and more strategic consideration are required to win. This is nice as sometimes you need to act fast, sometimes you need to think more. This adds more variety to the game.
I like the art of your game, nice gameplay too. But sometimes I find the controls a bit unnatural for me.
Awesome game!
The graphics is so clean and beautiful, the background music also fits the overall feel.
The game is very interesting and innovative. The combination of the left brain and right brain is mapped to the rational world and emotional world, or, the mathematics world and the art world.
Great job!
Nice game, though the control is a bit confusing.
The game is more like a story, a short but touching love story. The background art of the game is very beautiful, and all of them tells something about the story. Great work!
@Robinerd thank you for your warm comment!
Currently the ghost state is more like a hint that the player is dead, and the inability to attack is to make the player to walk into the house (the netherland). But your idea of controlling the ghost to do something different is cool!
@Konrad Zegis, Thanks for your warm reviews and cool suggestions!
I updated the UI a bit so that it may help to progress the game :)
@alaslipknot, Oh, I should have considered that, some of the players prefers inverted aiming. Thanks for your suggestions!
Quite interesting to play with. The graphics is very nice, a bit cartoon and yet very clean. The idea is very intuitive. The strategy lies in how to position the new satellites to save cost and generate most revenue at the same time. This may require some more adjustment to make it more challenge. But anyway great job!
Interesting concept! And the background music is funny too :) But I found the angle of how the asteroids come is a bit wired...
The environment is fantastic. The control of the character is smooth too as a platformer. However, the character's animation is a bit too rigid, including the transitions between idle, movement, and attack. Also the hit effect can be more dramatic :) Good job anyway!
The game is awesome! The computer killing human idea is very interesting! I played it twice as the first time is a bit difficult to understand every machine and the way things work, like what are the machines. Maybe a little more hints would be better. Great job anyway!
The game challenges you to play different games that require good reactions and speed. It's obviously that the game is not for hardcore players, however, it's surprisingly enjoyable to play. The lovely graphics and pleasing background music and the details (like the keyboard!) all make up this interesting game.
Impressive graphics and mood creation! The gameplay is innovative too! Like it!
World switching concept is cool! The gameplay is fast and challenging. Good job!
The art style reminds me of Monument Valley, and I love it! The clean art and the background music creates a peaceful feeling. The transitions of the platforms and worlds are really smooth and impressive. Fun gameplay too! I also found a bug in level 2 that the character just fall out of the platform...
Funny idea! The art is awesome, and the controls is solid. If there is more hints in the game about my progress would be better :) Good job!
Nice game, very creative concept and the implementation is good too. The clean art is nice too. But the moving curves are a bit difficult to predict.
The mood created by the silhouette art and deep music is awesome! It's a solid platformer. If the animation can be more fluid, it would be better. Good job anyway!
It looks quite interesting. Could you add mac version or web version, as I don't have a windows machine :(
I love the creative idea and the art of the game! The controls are also solid as paltformer. Great one! If the hit effects can be more impactive would be more awesome!
Nice graphics and music. However, there is bug preventing me from going further. When I found three cans of beer I go to the safe and enter the three numbers, no matter what i input, after i input the second number, the screen goes back to the spaceship scene.
Even it's unfinished, it impress me a lot! I really love the camera shakes when first launching, and the later camera movement when speeds changes. The only bit that could be improved in this build is to make the goal in the game more clear :)
Very beautiful hand-drawn art style. The game is cute. The variety of enemy types adds more fun. By the way, the controls can be more fluid and the feedbacks of attacks can be more obvious :)
The game is more difficult than Flappy Birds in my point of view... But nice graphics and details :)
The idea behind the game is very deep, and touches people's heart. I never think of the world can be connected in such a manner. Great job!
The idea is cool. The light is the connection of the two worlds. However, I don't know how to proceed to the next level, as I got Next Leve or Exit popup, and I chose Next Level, it returns the same old level.
The game is innovative in the concept, and I also enjoy the pixel art and vivid bgm in it. However, the gameplay seems a bit less various.
Very impressive game! The groups of characters is working incredibly well, and is nice to watch. The shooting mechanics feels very solid. Great work!
Nice idea! Great pixel art and nice music! The gameplay is fun. But pressing z+x at the same time doesn't quite work for me :(
Five Star Game!
Great game feel - The controls are very solid, the jump rotation, and dust when moving adds make it very interesting just to walk and jump around.
The art is amazing. Cant believe it's made in 48 hours!
The idea is very creative. And the company puzzles make full use of it. Just amazing.
It's a pity I don't have a windows to try out your game, but it looks nice. The birds gameplay is also creative.
An extremely clever use of 2D lighting. Very interesting puzzles.
Very nice art, and music. I really like this game. The control also feels great. One thing is if i run out of arrow, there is nothing i can do.
Nice Hotline Miami style! But it's easier to play which is good for me.
The game is deep. There are many different weapons and skills, and they all contribute to the troop's fighting. Nice!
Interesting concept, ya, also have the same problem that it feels a bit lost without hitting space ;p but overall nice game :)
A nice variance of endless runner! The animation makes me laugh ;)
Nice idea! It's not just fun, it also brings a bit of resource management into the game with the dust collector. Great mood also. Well done!
@resty, thanks for the review! the bug is fixed ;p
For the slow movement, i'll probably improve that in a separate build later :)
@JakeL168, thanks for the review! the bug is fixed ;p
@esayitch, thanks for the review! You have a sharp eye, yes, it is intentional to make it more accurate to shoot a closer enemy, though it was meant to be a work around for another technical issue ;p
@Lancelot Gao，非常感谢前辈的建议！
@pistolshrimps, yes! They inspire me a lot in terms how top down view can be awesome :)
It's uncommon to see this kind of game nowadays. I like it. It's like reading a story. Not a fun game, but is a good game.
It "sucks" in a good way :D The idea is cool, never seen such a game before. Hope it's longer.
Nice game! The dropping mechanics is great, especially it works with the audio. Dropping time brings the the prediction of the enemy's movement which adds to the strategy. Nice!
It successfully creates the riot feeling by using of the realistic sound and the nice graphics.
Haha, interesting game! It makes me laugh for a while. The low poly art is awesome! Also the feel of hitting the animals is great.
It's so funny haha. The game feel is solid. The climbing mechanics fits the gorilla.
Nice game, the topdown view and fast pace gameplay reminds me of Hot Line Miami! I also like the way the story is told, nice try!
Great graphics, i like the distorted look, and music.
Gorgeous! Very polished pixel art! Interesting story! And awesome combination of action element and the exploration element!
5 star!
An interesting game! The sketches style looks nice, and the music is relaxing. The gameplay is a variance of the old arcade game, but "don't waste a bullet" makes it much more interesting. Great job!
This is very fun! Nice modification to tower defence, and great art!
Good execution of idea. The shooting is solid. But a bit too fast for me.
I likes the pressure the game gave me, it forces me to move really carefully. The setting is also funny. Nice work!
Very unconventional! It's just like going back to childhood!! I like it!
Just hope that there are more gameplay for this mechanic!
Interesting idea! Its quite fun just to run over people, haha. Nice work.
The control feels good, I like different the game provides different paths for the player to choose. One sad thing there is no music playing, but i saw the Audio rating category, is there something wrong?
Haha, very interesting! Good shooting feel, and at the same time educational :D
Nice art. The game is a bit too fast for me though.
Great graphics & voice acting!
Nice concept! It provides adequate choices for the player to solve the level. Good level design too. I enjoyed it very much.
Oh I like it! It feels so satisfying just to smashes!!
This guy must know kongfu, haha. Nice concept and the art is good. But the frame rate drops in from time to time. Is it bullet time?
Interesting little action game! Nice work!
Nice! I like the feel of the game, that is, the speed of the tanks, the bullets, the running citizens are just feels good. Also the tanks' bullets can hurt themselves brings more strategy. Good job!
Nice idea, but somewhat lacks complete gameplay.
The idea is cool. I like the flashing light mechanics, it's just like the shorter version of Five Nights at Freddy's. Great job!
Good job, finishing a strategy game in 48 hours is not easy! It reminds me of Plant VS Zombies.
Very interesting. But can get a bit lost at the beginning about where to go.
Very nice game! The setting is deep. The mechanics is creative. I know it may sound weird under the setting, but it's fun to play.
Very creative gameplay! I like the orbiting movement, the simplicity of the graphics and the music!
Nice game! It reminds me of my first game jam game, also with vigilante theme. I like the feedback when I hit something.
Awesome! The gameplay is creative, and I love the arts. Though the entrance of can be more obvious ;p
Very cute art style, quite polished! Funny theme, nice work!
It brings me back to the good old days, nice work! I like the part that I need to predict the enemy's movement and shoot.
Nice graphic and audio! Gameplay also interesting, but it may be a bit annoying if you find a couple of green guys but you don't have green bullets.
Best game so far! The idea is very creative, the graphics works great with the the dim lights and grains, the animations are also vivid and cute. Control also feels very good.
Two small suggestions:
1. Death penalty is too high, why not restart the same level instead of the game?
2. A indicator of how long has been holding the space bar would be nice.
Great entry! Very creative idea and the execution is good. The game feel is very solid. In particular I love the bouncing of the arrow. The puzzle is challenging but if you plan well it's not impossible. It combines some action elements, like hiding and aiming, which creates more variety in gameplay.
Five Star!!
Quite fun! I beat all the levels. But got ratio issues, i cannot see the full screen on my laptop :(
Nice game! Very fluid control. Coo concept. A bit difficult, but still great!
Wow, my type of game! So many weapons auto switching keep surprises me. The fast pace shooting is very solid. Love the camera shakes and blood of enemy death. The audio is simple but just fits. Great work!
Nice game, screaming mechanics is creative. Also the controls feels good.
Haha, funny setting! I like the sound effect when successfully get a girl - that's the winning whistle!
Nice game, the control feels good! But i found a best strategy during play when the enemy is re-spawned, i just wait at the lower right, and he will just move towards me, then i just shoot to kill him lol
Cool concept, also the game feel is solid. One suggestion is to make the hurt feedback more obvious, as I thought touching the shapes would also destroy them.
Awesome work!! Online multiplayer game in 48 hours is unbelievable! Picking up a sheep as weapon makes me laugh! The control feels good too. 5 Star game!
Nice work! The gameplay is fluid and it feels like the old days. I like how the enemy died.
Nice game overall, and I like some of the details very much, like the guards will try to hide behind obstacles. Good job!
