Really smart idea, and a good implementation. Good job!
Great concept, and a beautifully clean graphical style.
Fun game, good job!
Nice look and good use of the theme. Controls were very floaty, and the wall slide was a bit sticky (as in, too easy to get stuck to a wall)
3 for the price of 1!
Very polished and the overall computer/programming theme was nicely done!
Please keep working on this, it's got the makings of a real gem.
Really nice use of the theme, and I've never seen a control scheme like it! Still trying to decide whether that's a good thing or not ;)
Lovely game, really fun and so cute!
Fun, and a great use of the theme!
Such a smart idea, fun to play!
I didn't find this all that fun, but the message and use of the theme are really good!
Decent game, the bullet speed makes it look like the bullets aren't actually moving and you're swinging around a yellow chain! Definite potential though. Good job!
Very cool, love the clean graphical style. Just needs some moody music!
More bureaucracy sims please! Great concept and use of the theme :)
Great fun, although I think I may have gone blind now.
Simple and fun, nice clean graphics. Good work!
Smart game, fun little puzzles!
Nice atmosphere and very smart. Could do with more incentives to split up your party, but that would be a lot to ask for 48 hours. Good work!
Really clever use of the theme, nicely done!
Eeep, stressful. Good job!
It runs, but I've got a weird bug!

Really nice idea, although I had quite a lot of success by just mashing space :) That said, no 10/10s for me, so there goes that argument!
Great shoot em up, the art style reminds me of Parodius, one of my favourite looking games of this genre. Good work!
Really smart design, just needs tuning for each match to finish a bit faster. . Good job!
Hahaha, amazing. It's Octodad meets WarioWare, and it's absolute genius :D
Nice idea, very clever, I was expecting to hear the dev screaming subtly in the background ^_^
Getting an error from your link, no such file or directory
Good fun, with some control polish this could be great!
It's fun, but the mixture of mouse and keyboard controls was a little awkward.
Very relaxing watching my wall of cannons mow down creeps. Good work!
Lovely looking game with a great atmosphere. Took me a while to understand what was going on!
Nicely implemented, although a little awkward to play with the stop/start. Good work overall!
A little difficult to grasp at first, but very clever once I understood it! Good job.
Quirky and very beautiful.
Lovely idea, nice graphics. Good job!
This was fun, I love the simple controls and the idea of non-lethal obstacles, especially as a contrast to how lethal our game ended up! Base character movement felt a little slow, but otherwise great job! The one touch controls would make it an ideal phone or tablet game!
Best entry I've played so far, this is a really fun game and perfect for the theme. I love the lo-fi sounds!
Nice bit of IF, and I love the concept of everything being a preparation for what's to come. Good work.
Liked it, reminded me a bit of chip's challenge :D
Nice, the controls felt a little sticky, but otherwise very fun!
Very fun old school shooter. Nice work!
Good use of the theme but, as others have said, the controls are pretty clunky.
Utterly insane, and totally endearing because of it! The music is stuck in my head now.
Cool concept. Good job!
Nice concept, didn't complete the level, but enjoyed it all the same!
Nice game and a good use of the theme! Controls could be a little sharper, but otherwise nice job.
Nice game, character was hard to control, but that just added to the pressure!
Made me smile :)
Fun concept!
Awesome! Screen shake was a little much, but other than that great job!
Very cool, and a great visual style! The pavement / sidewalk could have done with some markings, as a I found I had no frame of reference to judge the movement of the little gremlins. Or maybe that was the point!
Ultra minimalist bullet hell, I like it!
After lots of frenzied clicking and keyboard mashing, I'm still not sure what I'm meant to be doing. Sorry!
Intriguing story, nice idea for the slowing time mechanic.
Tone down the shaking and it would be pretty fun :)
Nice game! We also learned the hard way that increasing the speed of everything doesn't play nice with collision detection :) Good work
Good atmosphere and mood, nightmarishly difficult!
Frantic and fun! Way to hard for me though. Good job!
Good idea with the switching gun mechanic, controls for strafing were a little weird though!
Nice start to LD, the controls need to feel a lot sharper but you made something and that's not nothing!
Great graphics, but could have use a bit more interactivity. Nice job overall!
Very smart theme use, and I love the fact that the hallucinations are the only visual clue to the ticking clock. Good job.
Nice work for half a day!
Super retro, and nicely done. Good job!
Had fun playing this game, so many trolls I was running at 2fps!
Granny is OP!

The difficulty is a little frustrating but there's a really nice idea in here. Good job!
Nice game, could easily have been an arcade game :D
Really fun game, with some more levels this would be a perfect mobile app!
A little glitchy but a nice design and a smart concept. Good work!
Nice concept, and surprising amount of depth
Fun idea with a crazy story! I liked the poetic opening.
Nice game, some music would have been lovely.
This is a great first effort, and now you know more about unity I'm sure you'll do even better next time. Good work!
Lovely graphics and atmosphere, just needs a bit more gameplay!
Nice graphical style and a cool concept. Good work!
Thanks for all the great comments so far, we really appreciate the feedback!
Thanks everyone! BTW, if anyone can finish level 19, post a screenshot please! We managed each individual section but we haven't seen anyone manage it in one go. It's designed to be a killer!
It's great to see so many positive comments, thanks guys!
@SnoringFrog you can blame Bob for that level, I actually had to persuade him to remove a load of fast time powerups that made it even worse!
Ah, level 15, or as we called it "The Macerator" :)
Thanks for playing!
Fun platformer with a nice main character. Good job!
Nice concept, controls are a bit fidgety!
Awesome stuff, and great music! Got to agree with mutuware, this game has the best name :)
A thinking person's top down shooter! My kind of game :)
A bit confusing, but I love the idea!
Nice idea, I couldn't tell immediately how the cars picked their route, made it a bit challenging :)
Tough to grasp at first, but there's a smart puzzle game hiding in there. Good work!
So close to being great. Tighten those controls up and you have a lovely game on your hands. Good job!
Beautiful, and quite moving.
Haha, great fun and loved the sound effects!
Fun, especially time warp! Good job.
Really nice concept.
Nice idea, just needs some balancing to reduce the grind :)
Nice graphics and animation, and cool enemies!
Nice work, simple mechanics well executed, and hard as nails!
Really nice, with some more variety in rooms this could be awesome :)
Nice game, but I struggled a bit to see the bullets. I'm red/green colour blind, so that might be it. Fun to play though. Good job!
Nice idea, and pretty well implemented. Got a very Tron-esque vibe. Good job!
Wow, difficult game but a nice Isaac-alike. The time factor makes it extra tough!
Really nice work, directional fire controls would give it that last little bit of polish. Good job!
Very nice! My only suggestion would be to have the audio narration trigger only when you first get to a level, rather than every time you die! Other than that, it felt very polished. Good work.
Controls could have been tighter, but I definitely like the games that push the theme to its limits. Nice work.
Nice, a lovely use of the theme and a nice twist on Missile Command style mechanics.
An innovative perspective on the space shooter genre, the mechanic works well, still haven't won yet though!
Love the name and the thematic style. Shame about the physics issues, but good overall
Pretty good game, graphic style reminded me of Runescape. I'm only about 10 levels in so far, will definitely have to have another go later :)
Brilliant. I loved the RTS elements, although I built a walled-in community in the middle then got stuck when I respawned ^_^
Lovely animations, and a really clean look. Feels very polished, good job!
Really cool, the freezing mechanic was a nice idea and i loved that the dragon corpses litter the battlefield. Good job!
Love the recoil on the gun, I can bounce myself back onto platforms when I overshoot! Thematically it's lovely, the pirate theatre is a fun idea. Good job!
Good concept, it wasn't really clear that you gained resources from the contacts on each cycle, but once i'd grasped that it was fun. Got to the point where I always had enough resources to pay off the highest paying contract each time as soon as I'd got it.
I had fun! Not an idea I've seen before :) I did find it a bit tricky to get the timing right though, even with the tip about the spigot.
Lovely style, and a really smart death mechanic. Fools your brain into thinking you're not being punished. Very nice work!
Nice theme and graphics, but the controls were a bit stiff and awkward.
Addictive, and a lot of fun. Nice use of the theme too.
I love the fact that you can use the gun to pick up more fuel when you run out, I though I was screwed. Fun game :)
Nice graphics, and well designed. Splitting attention between commands and targeting is a fun challenge!
Nice idea, love the level transitions. Very christmassy :)
Really fun puzzle game, once you work out the controls!
Really interesting idea. You should definitely use this as a way to practice level design, because you can clearly come up with clever mechanics.
Art style is exactly my taste. Game is a bit short but still fun to play :)
I had fun with it at first, I liked the submarine (?) enemies, but there's nothing stopping you from buying upgrades when you have no coins :p I upgraded my speed to 100 and the ball never came back!
Great dialogue with the quest givers, and some nice artwork. I loved the death animation on the ghosts!
Can't deny the title, it's fun and simple, the graphical style is nicely done and consistent.
Holy crap, level 3 was hard. Cool and inventive idea, loved the fingerprint on the lens. Good job!
The ladder mechanic makes this a nice twist on match three. I like it!
Really nice concept, and nice graphics. If the controls were a little smoother it would be great. Good job.
Very nice, and genuinely retro.
