Fun strategy game with a great representation of the theme. I could see this being expanded into a challenging game, for sure. Excellent job!

Really fun! Love the depth in the mechanics and variety of art.
@oneplusone Thanks for the bug report! I'll have to take a look at that and see if I can't get a fix up. Glad you enjoyed it!
@guilhermoni Thanks for playing! I'll have to take a look at that bug and see if I can't figure it out. Haven't stumbled upon that one - could be something with WebGL, who knows? :laughing:
@kamikaziuk Glad you enjoyed it! The spawn timing was one of my biggest questions before release. I need to add a way to spawn a batch right off the bat, instead of waiting on the timer. Thanks!
@mrjoshuamclean Thanks for the feedback! I'm planning on polishing it up some more and gamepad support is definitely on the list.
Sorry for the confusion on the data. Things changed mid-way and I didn't know how to update my submission to your list. Thanks for playing and featuring it on your channel!
Really fun and challenging puzzle game. Love the minimalist style and background music! Great job.
Simple, yet fun. Great representation of the theme that parlays a wonderful message about how we treat our planet. Love your art style - it is truly something unique. I would have loved to see a little strategy and perhaps a win condition - but the game has a point and the way it is designed illustrates that really, really well.
Great job!
Really polished aesthetic with simple, but addicting gameplay. Bonus points for it having a nice message about recycling. Really digged this game!
Neat little Tron-like game. The camera snapping on the turns is a bit disorienting, as others have mentioned. Loved the art and UI style.
I love the base concept of limited ammo and bouncing ammo. The player controls really added an element of challenge to the game that was a little undesired to me. I'd like to see a little more fluid motion to really emphasize the dodging of your own and enemy bullets. Needless to say, I found it pretty hard to move around without getting struck by my own bullets.
Solid graphics and presentation. Just need to clean up some gameplay stuff and add some more sound and this could be a great full title!
This was delightful to play. Loved the movement mechanics and the power up effects. I had a good time with it, great job!
I enjoyed the mouse-based shooting and the use of lighting to build atmosphere. Movement mechanics were a little too floaty, but it added to the challenge. I think the level art could have used a little more contrast to help separate it a bit, but it felt cramped and spooky, for sure!
Really love the charm and aesthetic in this entry. The controls are really tight and responsive and the concept is easy to pick up and play.
This was an excellent entry! Really loved the sinister feeling created by the art and sound. It makes a really simple mechanic shine through and gives you a sense of dread as you're playing. It was almost more fun to see the cool blank spaces eat my dude - brilliant special effect on that!
Loved this one - great job!
That was super fun and I loved the music!
A very excellent entry! The graphics and visual design are super tight and appealing - very consistent feel. The gameplay was challenging and fun, rewarding good play. Loved the crystal/shop mechanic, it lends a lot to the pacing of the game and the challenge.
I did run into a little bug (or at least I assume so), where one of the players movement vectors gets stuck and it kept me moving to the right despite not having 'A' held down. Other than - ran pretty smooth in WebGL and was super fun to play. Great job, you all!
I really enjoyed the relaxing mood and music. I could see myself playing a more expanded version of a game like this, perhaps with different puzzles and more abilities. Really solid entry - enjoyed it a lot!
Loved the atmosphere of the levels. It was pretty challenging after the first level! Great entry!
I loved the sense of exploration - the world felt vast and the art was very calming. The controls did take a bit of getting used to, but once I got the hang of it, all was good. I'd really like to have another go at it with some sound effects, it would really bring the atmosphere together! Great entry!
Really interesting art direction. I loved the atmosphere and the music, really felt like I was trapped in some late 80's computer simulation a la Tron. The gameplay was simple, but well done. That default Unity FPS controller is bit sticky sometimes, but all-in-all this is a super cool entry!
Really awesome game. Excellent pacing and challenge. The overall aesthetic and audio direction was really good. Probably one of the more polished LD entries I've ever seen. Great job!
Simple and fun. Loved the art and sound and the animations were awesome. Great entry!
@kai Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed playing. Sadly, the music was pushed to the last minute and the soundtrack suffered greatly. I'd like to find a way to better balance the pushing and picking up of the mushroom - too much reliance on physics makes it a bit unclear.
@peterfiftyfour Thanks! The pacing was one of my big issues with it too. Should have had levels designed sooner so I could work that stuff out. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the comments, everyone! Glad you all enjoyed the game.
@rialgar Thanks for the video! It was really helpful seeing someone playthrough the game - and reproducing the bug with the moving Mushie! Glad you enjoyed it.
@feingehacktes Thanks for playing! I like your suggestion for the controls. I really designed the game around a controller scheme, so the keyboard scheme got a little less love than it should.
If I end up going back to this one, controls and pacing are the first thing on my list, for sure. Glad you enjoyed it!
@zaiuspanda Thanks for playing! That bug has been addressed. I should update the published version with it! :D
Game was awesome! Fairly similar take on the theme that I had - but I enjoyed your execution with the aiming. Great atmosphere and snappy controls. This was such a fun game!
Really cool concept. A bit confusing at the start, but really fun once I got the hang of it. Loved the meaty graphics :D
Really fun and challenging game. Very polished art style - great job!
Excellent entry! Really loved the art style and the gameplay was really smooth.
Really gripping story! I'll have to go back and give it a couple more playthroughs, but it was really interesting. Loved the atmospheric music - it set a great tone and made the whole game feel eerie and mysterious. Excellent entry!
Awesome art and audio. Fairly challenging to play but really fun once you get the hang of it. Great entry!
Loved the art style and the catchy music! Good balance of risk and reward in the gameplay, too. Great entry!
Loved the art in this, especially the fireball's little expressions. Dug the challenging level design and tight controls. Really enjoyed this one!
Really enjoyed the art style - very good balance of colors. Had a little issue with some of the jumping/platform collsions but all-in-all it felt good to play and the music was catchy!
Very fun and relaxing. Loved the graphics and music. With some various new mechanics, this could be a well-executed full game!
Really adorable! Loved the audio and 2.5D graphics. Really cool take on the theme, too.
Really cool mechanic using the sound/sonar. Loved the dark mood and simple controls. Great entry!
Thanks all for your comments!
@cliffracerx I really wanted to get more levels done, but they required a little bit more time and creativity than I budgetted for. I definitely want to explore this concept further with less constraints! :laughing:
As for the theme, my plan was to connect it with some story elements but that got lost in the mix. In a nutshell, each level's teleporter is stuck in a loop until you enter with a Black Key. *There's a slight nod to this if you happen to use the teleporter in the first level without it.*
Thanks again for playing and rating! I'll be checking out your entries throughout the day.
This was such an adorable game! The art was very well done, the mechanics were simple but worked really well, and it runs super smooth! Great entry!
Loved the feeling and atmosphere you acheived! The lofi graphics make it even better. Really enjoyed this one - challenging, eerie, and well polished. Great entry!
This was really well done! The puzzles were very well thought out and the timing aspect of changing moves got really dicey in the later levels. Really enjoyed this one - good job!
Loved the quirky characters and the voice acting was a totally unexpected and nice touch. Had a hard time figuring it out but I think that may just be me :laughing:.
The art, sound, and design aspects of the game were all really well done. Great entry!
This was pretty challenging! Going to have to keep playing to beat it. I really enjoyed the sense of urgency. The puzzles themselves weren't particulary hard but having to rush around and do all of them made for quite an experience. Great entry!
Really good polish on this entry! Everything felt very well done for such a simple concept. My highscore was 14 - so I'm either garbage or this game is hard (I thinks it's me lol).
It was fun - definitely something I'll pick up again to see if I can get better than 14 :laughing:
This was good fun. The controls were super solid and made for quite a challenging game. Loved the silly art and sounds, too. Great entry!
This was super fun to play. The controls felt smooth and the art style was really well done. Great entry!
Really well done! Controls are smooth and I enjoyed the simple visuals. Definitely could have used a little more difficulty ramping - but all in all a great entry!
Very fun game with approachable mechanics. Loved how the difficulty ramped up and how well the levels were designed. Overall, no complaints. Very well polished entry - good job!
This was awesome! The mechanic so was so well done and definitely warrants some further exploration. I'd be really curious to see how you would build this into a full-fledged title. Great work!
Definitely heavy on the mood! Really enjoyed seeing this pan out. Super eery and definitely had me spooked. Great entry!
Loved the message of healthy eating. Controls feel great and the art style was adorable. Great entry!
This was a really cool mechanic. Love the minimalism - it works perfectly here with aiding in the gameplay. Great entry!
That was something else! Delightfully eerie and humorous at the same time. Really good interpretation on the theme and really good mood. Great entry!
Cool take on Frogger! Loved the little story touches, as well. Felt like the controls were a little hard to time due to the animation length, but that could have been performance in the browser. All in all it was super fun to play - good entry!
