The Esoteric Order of Shapeshifters by Somnium 2016-04-22T16:44:00
Really enjoyed this game, well done! It was initially a bit unclear what was going on - but once I understood the system it was pleasantly challenging and fun to advance in.

Really enjoyed this game, well done! It was initially a bit unclear what was going on - but once I understood the system it was pleasantly challenging and fun to advance in.
Nice idea - perhaps could be made better by using colour to differentiate the shapes?
City looks really nice, good job!
Really really nice. A mind-bender in the right way, quite challenging and great music.
I didn't quite understand the rules for when you could shift, and when you could not - is it just that you can't tag-back without the help of the monster thing?
Really difficult, but very cool! Well done :)
Level 7 seemed very difficult - so I was glad I could skip it! But fun and charming overall, well done :)
Very nice, simple and well-executed :) Good job!
Very confusing, but I like what you were going for! The music is great.
Great game DesignerNap! Very chilled out. "Some" cargo may have gotten lost under my watch. Some might even say too much.
Great work - succeeding on all fronts. Really good entry, well done!
Nice little game! Love the music.
Incredibly difficult towards the end! Very polished, well done.
Really hard! But cool :)
Great idea though some of the puns and the pixel art made it very hard to guess lots of them. Still, I made it through and I appreciated all the wordplay :)
Fun idea but far too little control over the limbs to make them do the pose :( I couldn't make his knees bend the right way.
Nice idea! The collision bugged me a bit but other than that, good job!
Woo, a fancy terrain! Nice :)
Nice idea but it's very hard to see what attacks you're cooking up or learn what made them fizzle. Great music though!
Can it be completed? I reached a "To Be Continued" point.
Very cool though, well-written and intriguing. I want to know what happened!
Great idea, it is a little frustrating waiting for people to make their route to their target once it's clear, but other than that nicely-executed. Good job!
Great stuff. Really captures the feeling of being brought low by your own past incompetence and failings as a human being.
Haha, I loved the goofy little fish faces. Shame there's no game there - it was quite fun swimming around!
Hints of Ikaruga! Good game. Quite challenging as it required quick switches, but very easy to get into. Well done!
Lovely little game, I must confess I didn't manage to complete it! Was there a way to delete totems? That would've been very useful.
Great job.
Good interpretation of the theme, well done on implementing procedural level generation!
Fun idea - just wish there were a few more combinations! Great job.
Nice idea, very easy to understand and cleanly executed. Well done :)
A little confusing, but the planes looked great swooping around. I couldn't really read what the green squares were or where the attacks were (from either me or the planes). Maybe a few quick particle effects would make that clearer?
Good job overall though!
Lovely art, I really liked the Celtic designs on the waves. Good job!
Fun game, transforming into a plane and zooming to where you want to go works really well. Good job!
Why was there only one horn? There should've been a horn on each button.
Great game ;) Last level was a killer, I couldn't do it, but lots of fun and looked good too. Nice one!
TOO MUCH PLANTS
Good game! I found a bonus secret object too ;)
Good idea, and good execution too. Felt like you could win "by chance" quite easily by simply being in the right place at the right time, but it was a cool vibe, watching other cells fight and stealing from them :) Happened to me too, so I guess what goes around comes around!
The mechanic wasn't obvious at all at first glance, but I eventually figured out why I kept dying and then very much enjoyed it. Great audio and a lovely finish :)
I enjoyed this! Fun concept and fun sounds. Would've been nice to have some indication of where to find the heroes, but it worked well!
Fun game, I liked the goofy look on the guards faces when you kill the girl :)
Lots of fun! Very cathartic smashing up the huts and towers :)
Really cool, enjoyed this one!
Ambitious use of physics, nice idea though I was a little confused at how to control the red blob thing :)
Really nice idea, good execution too. I enjoyed using the map to chase the little cubes :)
Cool use of the theme, fun too! Good job :)
Nice idea, good use of the theme!
Gets a bit tricky when the dead blobs obscure the living ones :) Nice and responsive though, good job!
It seems to be hard to get a "high" jump, is there something I'm missing? Nice idea though!
Cool idea, well-executed. Not really seen anything like this before. Nice one!
Easily my favourite game of the competition so far. Great story, very funny, and the logic puzzles are solid. Awesome.
Fun idea, I liked the world map!
Nice game. Tongue didn't always seem to snag the flies.
Fun game, well done :)
Fun arcade experience, really nice game. Good job!
Nice idea but it seemed to be hard to get the monster to defend himself. Lots of potential though!
Moving didn't seem to work for me - I could only fire on the spot. :/
Fun idea! The headlines entertained me greatly :)
Nice game, I liked the sketchy art. Difficult, too!
Game is exactly what is promised. Lots of fun, good job!
Really enjoyed this, well done.
Entertaining and silly, I like it :)
Fun idea, really captures the joy of being sworn at by strangers over the internet :)
Nice idea, Alucard made me laugh :)
I enjoyed this! Nice idea, would happily have carried on playing it if it were a little longer.
Good fun! Love the music :)
Short but sweet!
Quite tough in the early game, but very satisfying to get over that crest and win :)
Looks great, the maze section at the end was pretty challenging - good job!
Ambitious idea for a gamejam, so kudos for getting a working mini-DK going! Agree with the other commenters that the UI could've been cleaner, but good UI is a *lot* of work and it got the job done :)
I'd also suggest perhaps slightly more monstrous sprites for the workers/minions - the abstract colour sprays didn't really convey what was going on as well as they might have.
The village growing was pretty cool, though it was hard to fight the guards without dying.
I did it, I murdered all the cultists. That'll show 'em.
I enjoyed bombing the goofy monster! It was a bit tricky to get the hang of landing the shot, but I managed to get there without destroying toooooo much of the city.... :)
Great concept, well executed. Nice one!
Poor fishboy! *I* will mourn him.
Lovely graphics and music!
Fun little game!
Looks good, and Clive is nice and responsive, good work :)
Fun and responsive, gets quite hard as you get bigger and all the creatures get faster. Nice job :)
Really good job, solid.
Difficult, but fun! Good job :)
Cool take on the theme, nicely implemented. A bit depressing but I guess that's the point :)
Great graphics, though I'm not sure it's working properly - was very stop-start and I'm not sure what I was doing.
Still, really cool art, not seen anything like that!
Funny audio! Quite hard too :)
Lots of fun, and lots of variety in enemies/pickups. Nice one!
Pure and simple gameplay, good work :)
I am a murderer :( Good job though, nice to see a bit of typing gameplay!
Well, I definitely felt like a monster.
Simple and fun, good job!
Cool idea! I found this theme quite difficult to be creative with but you've done a great job. Challenging, but nothing wrong with that :)
It would be nice if the truck was a little quicker. Nice art though :)
Fun idea! A tutorial would've been helpful, I didn't realise WASD moved me, but once I worked that out I was away. Gets quite difficult :)

Good idea and great interpretation of the theme, well done!

Just as in real-life, I have successfully both won at a game I enjoyed while draining my wife of most of her patience and goodwill.
The Museum of Time by DesignerNap 2016-08-29T19:31:00
I love it! Your best one yet, IMO. And best of all, it was educational.

Good job, was fun and relaxing :)

Very relaxing atmosphere to the secret cave. Would have enjoyed some more explanation as to what was going on, but I liked what I saw :)

Great interpretation of the theme, love the graphics and music.
