graphics are very nice. but i have no idea what i'm doing. im just randomly walking around only knowing that theres some door and i can change shapes in a RPS type system. this coupled with the game randomly yelling memes and 'XD so random' humor at me, makes for a very confusing experience.
but the sounds and visuals are very good.
really interesting gameplay, havent seen anything like it. but i dont feel like the player has too much influence on the game
really nice effects! i wish the shape wasnt always a cube though
really innovative! i love the music and visuals. very nice
wow this looks really nice! loove the visual design, and interesting gameplay too! nice job
nice game! i love the visuals, very fun to play
interesting game. after getting the 3rd form i couldnt do anything.
interesting concept! that last level was very hard haha. nice job
very nice pixel art! i wish the game were more engaging though.
interesting game. good concept, and i liked the story and humor, but the game wasnt very polished. good job though!
nice game! its well polished, but gets difficult really quickly (after you win)
nice job!
really well designed! i really enjoyed the puzzles, and the colors are pretty nice
really really interesting concept! very hard to get my head around, but still managed to beat it. really cool, good job!
interesting game! the walls are visually hard to read, but the rest of the art is good. i like the switching animations.
very nice game! controls felt really nice, and the game was very polished. good job
this was really cool! the puzzles were great, though i did get stuck for a bit at the second to last (?) one. very polished though, except for the boxes landing on the character
interesting concept. wouldve liked to see more built on this idea
very nice art! cool idea too
hahaha that was hilarious. i loved the character switching mechanic. i wasnt able to beat it though.
nice job!
nice game! liked the design, could be more to the game though.
interesting idea! really fun to play, but i would like some other goal rather than just time. nice graphics too
interesting concept, was pretty difficult though. and the text was very hard to read, i spent like 2 minutes just trying to start the game. nice sounds though
i love the art! neat concept too, would like to see this worked on further
very cool! reminds me of old physics flash games. i liked it!
this game is very difficult! but a really cool idea.
nice game! seems really big for a ludum dare game. it does feel a little slow though, and i never found out what money did
ooh i like the intro! havent seen much of those in ludum dare. i do think you chose a strange control scheme, i think just colliding with the orbs should collect them
interesting idea. i liked the art, the sounds were a little jarring though. and its also a little unfair having enemies spawn from the things you're trying to collect
nice graphics! really polished, though there could be more mechanics to compliment the main gameplay
interesting idea, but i couldnt get the dad to not catch me. and it also took a long time to reset.
had a lot of fun playing with a friend! You should also note that pressing up again makes you go faster during the leap. nice job
nice job with this! multiplayer games are always impressive to see in Ludum dare. this one is a pretty neat idea too, though difficult to play
interesting concept! very cute. i do wish there were more to the game though
interesting gameplay, i like it. i dont see the benefit of switching to plane mode. otherwise nice job
interesting game! i like the art, and the transform mechanic is nice
interesting concept. not sure how the mechanics play into it, or even the theme for that matter. the art is cute though
great audio! and interesting gameplay. could be built upon more though
wow really nice game! i liked the mechanics and the smoothness of the line is really pleasing. its pretty hard to control but other than that nice job!
haha nice game. the voicework is a nice touch, but it was way to confusing for my mind (at least between the circle and square)
i liked the visuals though! good job
interesting premise! and nice art and sounds. i like it
i looove the pixel art! really nice. the gameplay is a bit lacking, however.
interesting idea! never seen a programming game in a ludum dare
really really interesting!! i loved the mechanic. the sounds and visuals are great too. awesome game
very interesting game. i dont know if ive ever seen a scratch game on ludum dare, so good job with the tools you used! Playing in turbo mode really makes this an interesting experience haha
the music was really good, and the shape shifting mechanic was pretty interesting. nice job
really nice! i like the visual design a lot. i didnt know about the shape switching mechanic, and wouldnt have tried clicking around to find it if i didnt read the info, maybe that could be described better like in the control screen
otherwise nice job!
woooow i loove the visual design! really nice choice of colors in all the stages, and pretty interesting gameplay. As the shapes approach i always think they're too difficult/ambiguous to easily pick the right rotation but im surprised each time when i do it right.
nice job!
i really like the art! but im a little confused on the gameplay. for one it freezes frequently and makes it difficult to play, the shooting seems to miss most of the time except when the enemy is in a specific place, and usually there isnt enough ammo to not lose health even if i do hit the enemies.
really interesting mechanic! ive never seen anything like it before. it makes the game really difficult but in a good way. and the visuals are really awesome. nice job!
really interesting mechanic! and well implemented too, i thought this would be a lot easier to break but its pretty stable. The only thing is theres really no progression, the first wall is the same as the 20th.
otherwise nice job
this is a really interesting idea! i love the design.
nice job!
interesting idea! i like the rage mechanic
nice job
really interesting! Nice take on the theme too, shifting shapes... heh
but yeah the art and music are amazing!
nice job!
neat mechanic, was kinda lost on the goal of the game. and the mechanic were shooting makes you lose 'life' s interesting.
nice job though!
pretty neat! i liked the main mechanic, it could probably be built upon a lot too
I only found the last level a little awkward, i kinda just needed to get lucky.
otherwise well done!
wow, this game was really well designed! I never knew there were more interesting variants on the snake formula. Very impressed!
Beat all the levels and got all the non-required item things. also the music is really good!
And....... is that.. loss at the end.. why would you meme on us like this..
very interesting! i liked the aesthetic and idea. it got really intense!
this is awesome! You guys managed to make a pinball game super innovative and really fun! not boring at all. My only complaints are that some sounds were louder than others, and the camera didnt pan quick enough at times so i couldn't see where the ball was going. otherwise it was super neat! Also the music is really good
wow this was absolutely amazing. it felt like a whole story i was living through, and it really felt like my decisions mattered! Super impressive for 48 hours, one of my favorites so far
i liked this! the graphics are amazing and it's very humorous :D i did get frustrated with it and quit though. nice job!
interesting game. i wouldve gone further but it was super frustrating to play because of the controls, since i cant right click and left click at the same time. also you cant click or more the mouse outside of the window which was annoying. other than that it was a charming game with cool art and gameplay! nice job
interesting little game! the art style caught my interest and im glad i checked it out! i only wish it were a bit longer
this is exactly like one of the ideas i had in the beginning of the LD! I think it's a neat control idea, and it plays alright. the only thing i didnt like is how the growing orbs made it a little hard to get certain aiming right since it introduce a new scope of rotation. nice job!
wow this is really awesome! the art and animations are amazing for a ludum dare game or otherwise. there were some weird technical issues i had such as sound taking forever to play and lag, but otherwise very nice!
really nice!! i love the music and the art
very nice! amazing music and art, and very polished! It was way too difficult at times though, there seemed to be a very steep difficulty curve
interesting concept! I was confused for a while, and im still not sure if i understand the game fully, at least not the right side of it. but i love the art style!
interesting game! i liked the concept, but it was pretty hard to control still. beat it though!
hm, pretty interesting game! i feel like it should change directions on its own without you needing to let go and press again, it was kinda confusing. also, you shouldnt really label the link as a 'web' link, that generally means it's embedded in the browser and you dont have to download it.
otherwise i thought it was neat!
wow this was awesome! really nice idea, simple and effective! got to 278.
this was neat! the music is cool and the art is really nice. the training games were a nice touch too. i wasnt able to get past the rat though. he would just punch constantly and even if i timed my punches perfectly between his his health still regained faster.
interesting concept! it was kinda confusing at first but i understood it eventually. the controls were hard to get used to though
pretty neat game! but not a lot too it, just felt like a betting game, where sometimes you have obvious choices, and sometimes you just get bad choices. i liked it though
i really like this concept! pretty fun, though gets boring kinda quick. also, this was more of a one button game than a two button game, the 'zoom' thing just felt shoehorned in (why would anyone want to zoom back in?? unless im missing something)
otherwise super cool!
this was pretty good. couple complaints though, the hitboxes were a little ambiguous, some jumps were impossible or close enough to count, sometimes you spawn pretty much right on an enemy, or the platforms are so close you just move upwards rally fast and cant really decide to go anywhere like if theres a gold potato or something, and 'dying' was a bit anticlimactic when you fall below the screen just a bit and are still able to climb back up, but you're dead so it doesnt matter. also on the other side of the enemy argument, enemies arent really that much of a hazard, they're just kinda there.
otherwise, the game is pretty charming and the art isnt that bad. the christmas mode was a neat touch. and it fit the theme well!
haha that was a very creative idea! and well executed! though somewhat difficult to control at points
Wow i really liked this! the concept is really good and feels pretty well balanced! and the art is nice
wow this is awesome! i really love the art and the gameplay is super unique! Jumping between asteroids is super satisfying! I feel like you should be able to jump and begin moving quicker, though. Also I'm pretty sure i won after i died once, and the game crashed so i didnt get to continue.
wow this was neat! I love the art and visuals, and the music is pretty good too. I only wish there was more to do!
very interesting visuals! the hitboxes were a bit small, and there's not too much gameplay. but that's not necessarily a bad thing! simple and effective
I love the visuals! And I like how eating the pellets makes you physically grow in all directions, naturally making the course harder as you go. couple bugs though: you can press 'down' to set your speed to a low amount, but consecutive presses speed yourself up greatly, allowing you to go all the way up without eating any pellets. also I got to the end eating all the golden pellets but 1, and the game says i got '8/8'.
Nice job otherwise!
Interesting take on both themes. I find the game way to fast and sudden, especially for these controls, and swinging the sword and stopping instantly is very jarring in between lightspeed running. The hitboxes are not correct sometimes, i literally could not kill the 2nd red guy multiple times.
I do however like how you represented the 'you can only kill things larger than you' system by both size AND weapon range.
Nice job!
Wow i loved this so much! the visuals are amazing, and the sounds and gameplay and everything! I found the treasure on my 2nd game (it was right near where I spawned, somehow), Is that the end of the game or is there more past that? nothing really happened after I dug it up.
Nice job!
On the first play i thought this game was either too easy or impossible, but after a few plays i found it surprisingly competetive, to some extent. nice and simple!
Man i spent way longer playing this than i thought! Very very nice, fun and creative!
The only issue is it's REALLY easy to break. just split and tab to a new blob at the same time, and things get verry weird. its not super advantageous though. There's an insane ammount of levels for a jam like this, many props!
I liked this! Difficulty ramps pretty quickly, which is good! makes it a quick, easy game to play and try to get better scores. I got to 10 rounds. I like the animations
The cylinder idea is pretty neat! But the game is pretty hard right off the start, and not in a good way, more of an uncontrollable way, as in things come by too fast to react to easily, and you move too fast to make accurate movements, at least for me. It also got boring pretty quickly. Otherwise i thought the idea was cool!
This wasn't bad! But it wasn't great either. For a first time it's totally fine, but there's literally 1 choice (unless I missed something). The audio was pretty good, unfortunately unratable.
pretty interesting game! i thought the color choice was neat. the different weapons were nice, though the phone never worked right for me so i never used it, and since there were only 6 weapon options i didnt really have trouble choosing 5. Otherwise i thought it was fun! my score was 66563.
yep very unpolished. the graphics you made are pretty mediocre and the others are stolen, which is against the rules. the music was fine, but got annoying quickly. nothing does damage, both the player's attacks do nothing, the green bar at the top seems useless, the collision detection is very broken.
but you still made something and that's good.
pretty neat! swinging a big weapon like this is pretty fun. though a few things: there should be more feedback when you kill and enemy, and there should be more reason to kill them. right now theres no reward for killing them, and all it really helps for is keeping the screen clear. another thing is you can just sit in the ball and never get hurt (unless one spawns inside you and kills you before it detects the ball)
pretty fun though
nice little game! felt pretty difficult though, and i just got lucky and got it to my area before the pirates showed up. i like the visuals
pretty interesting game! i looved the graphics and colors. i think the block destroying mechanic is neat, but doesnt work too well for a platformer. at least if you had the blogs reset after you die, it would make a little more sense. same with ammo. if you collect some then die, you cant get that back. your best chance is to beat everything first try. another thing i saw is sometimes you dont get hit by spikes/bullets.
after the first area it was a lot easier and i kinda just fell a bunch until i found what i now know is the boss. i thought the game was very cool but didnt feel like i played it right, if that makes sense. good job :)
nice little story game! pretty short, yes, and even shorter since there's really no choices or altering paths, the player basically just follows a story. my only other complaint is that the text selections was wonky and pretty annoying. sometimes it double-clicks through the text, especially if i hold it down for too long. you should've just made the spacebar a 1 hit toggle instead of a time-based check for if the spacebar is down. same for the other keys, it would've made scrolling through the options less annoying. kinda nit-picky but still noticeable.
i really like this idea! the game is very solid and its pretty satisfying to catch your head
This was hilarious! i was pretty confused at first but after figuring out the connection points it became pretty clear. awesome job!
very good! The scene with the chest was super fun to watch
very very good! pretty much super crate box meets necrodancer, as some comments have stated.
i like the idea! its pretty hard to kill the helis though
really good! but got boring after a while, since you're basically replaying every level again, just with a new one added. I was also pretty laggy on my machine
well! I really liked the game. fitting this whole metroidvania on the screen is amazing.
couple of complaints: (a minor thing) enemies health doesn't reset when you die, it only respawns ones you've killed (which is a nice mechanic btw). The jumping is too fast/too much gravity. it was very hard in some wall jumping puzzles trying to get up. also the one puzzle to get the triple shot seemed way too unfairly difficult, that last under the spike is reaaally close, and the reward was terrible. the triple shot is great in theory, but it doesnt make anything easier since the hit cooldown on enemies remains the same making the time to kill them just as long as before.
Also, the ending was very anticlimactic. the whole time the player is wondering what the end of the game is going to be like with that strange enemy at the top, an intense boss battle? hopefully. but no, you just kill him. My guess is that you ran out of time, but still, its pretty disappointing.
interesting concept, but very flawed execution. the 'puzzles' were pretty bland, but not bad. the movements were glitchy and unpredictable, gave up after falling through the world for the 5th time. the art was alright
pretty fun sliding puzzle clone! the puzzles were well built, not too hard, though it wouldve been nice to know the lowest possible moves for a puzzle, or at least something else.
this looks like it would've been a pretty interesting game. i liked the idea with the engine fix
pretty interesting. i loved the music, but the gameplay was pretty bland. good job though!
i really like the teleportation effect, but the game seems empty. nice entry though!
yep pretty much impossible to get that one snowflake (never got it) and the controls are pretty floaty for this type of game, but the art is really nice
very neat! i love all the different paths you can take. good job!
very nice! the art style is neat, and its pretty fun. but its also pretty empty, as in not much content. but otherwise its a fun small game
this was really neat! it felt very polished and i liked the progression
yes, the concept is great! the puzzle element is implemented really well, except for the bugs such as when buttons are removed while pressed, it will take multiple hits for them to get back to their original toggle states. otherwise, well done!
pretty fun! i like being able to switch guns, and the art is pretty cool. good job!
wow this is really good! i love the art. the game is very polished and simple. great job!
pretty interesting! was confusing at first, but figured it out.
well that was something. the equation you used for direction of the gun relative to the mouse is wrong. no music or audio, no health or goal. pretty much underwhelming. but you finished it and thats good
pretty neat game! I like it, though 'leveling up' seemed very arbitrary.
really polished and well done! pretty much perfect. Though something i did find annoying was that the jump did not do its full height rarely, and one level can be entirely bypassed. Otherwise, well done!
Amazing art, sound, and animation. very inspiring!
The puzzle was very difficult for me. I think the reason why is because there was so much information with the two clocks before reading the book that i thought the numbers for the chest came from the clocks, not entirely from the book. Maybe if you made the situation with the cat come after opening the chest, it would've been less confusing. Otherwise, i thought it was very clever and cute! There were a lot more puzzle oportunities you could've done, but what you have is fine concidering the time limit and how polished the game is.
I did encounter one bug where i picked up the book(?) from my inventory and it somehow got stuck at the bottom of my screen, and i couldnt put it back and also couldn't click on anything else, which forced me to reset. Which wasn't a big deal because it's so short.
Anyway, great job! I can't wait to see more from you
This was a really great game! The art and modeling is amazing, level designs are good, and the music is great. It was very good up until the 4th(?) level. at that point it was very frustrating. Not being able to move in air was annoying, and the jumps just felt random at times. Respawning takes too long, and it was quite annoying that you had to go through everything not only after dying, but even after getting to a goal. Also this doesn't really follow the theme since there were multiple levels, or screens if you will. otherwise, really well done
pretty interesting! for a lot of time i couldnt figure out was going on, or what influence i had on what i was doing, over if just another computer was playing. i was never able to do any home base damage, but it was fun anyway! i like the animations too. good job!
pretty neat! thr drift mechanics fit really well. although sometimes stars spawn nearly off-screen. nice job!
very interesting game! i like the story
wouldve liked to play it but it lags waaay too mucn on my machine. oh well
woooow i really loved this! the idea is very original! This could be taken even further in the puzzle area i think, but you made it more strategy and action which is really cool. good job!
wow this is awesome!! I love rhythm games, so of course i liked this. the music is great, and the visuals are really nice! its very difficult though haha. good job!
awesome game! I like the idea, and gameplay is pretty neat
this is pretty fun! and hard. I like the powerups. good job!
wow this is surprisingly very fun!! the art could be better, but the gameplay and music is great!
simply amazing. The level design is great, the art is nice, the music is soothing. amazing job!
hm that was alright. it was a little buggy but still fun
wow i LOVED this! this was an ultimate experience all the way through i love everything about it except that theres no goal, but it may not need one.
The environments and mood and everything were fantastic, and i continued to find new themes and music after like half an hour of playing it!
this was amazing great job
wow i loved this! the music was probably what kept me from quitting haha. i did beat it, even though it was annoyingly laggy on my comp. good job!
this was actually a lot of fun! i love how you incorporated the selection screen with the actual game. nice job!
pretty neat. though not much to it, and i really dont see a use to use the mage.
pretty nifty! i was confused as to what i was doing most of the time but i understand. nice job
nice little game! very small but its pretty charming
YUP same here. the tv key did nothing. but up til there i thought it was cool!
this is pretty cool!
the music is really nice, and the game plays pretty well, though you couldve put the map lower in the corner. i was confused at first what i was looking at but i figured it out.
nice job!
pretty neat game! i like the music and the jumping. pretty difficult though trying to line things up. nice job!
pretty neat! i liked the art and sounds and such, but there was no goal and really not much to it. also the whole other universe didnt do anything to my knowledge
overall, pretty small and boring. but it was fun while it lasted
a web link is not required. at least one link is required, you can still change the name in the firld, there just needs to be at least one. this web link is misleading
Hoo boy I won!
This was really neat! simple and short though. good job!
gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8
(just fyi, 'WEB' means its playable right from your browser, or embedded in other words. a web link to a downloads page doesnt fit)
This looks really cool! and multiplayer! but i cant seem to do anything. i create an account and spawn in a world, then nothing i do does anything. I will rate when I am able to play
This was interesting. shooting things seemingly did nothing besides push them away. the 'D' key did not work. Movement was kind of awkward. Otherwise it seemed to be pretty neat.
very polished! great graphics and gameplay. short and simple! nice job
this looked pretty cool, but was very laggy on my end. and with the first set of enemies, i assumed (even more so with the text) that i was supposed to make their lasers kill eachother, but running into them was the only way to kill them.
yes, some documentation on the commands would be nice. all i did was move around a bunch and then stopped
This game was too hard.
http://imgur.com/YHeIK0y
No but really the design is beautiful. the gameplay is lacking because the only thing that makes these types of games good is balance, which this obviously doesnt have a lot of.
but what it DOES have is amazing for only a 48 hour time period! Generated stories for every combination, and not even once did i see 2 of the same template text, thats amazing. so good job!
interesting concept! once i got the first link, however, i couldnt figure out what to do.
also the game lags pretty hard on my machine, and a lot of the times the collisions with the ground dont check so i just fall.
cool regardless!
very interesting intro of sorts! professional and polished! alas, not much of a game.
well. that was a game. theres really nothing to this, and the collision detection is very broken. pink player has the easiest time with it. no relation to theme. very boring.
wow. that was a lot better than i expected it to be! the world is seemingly MASSIVE, and i loved the idea of going between worlds and having the gravity switch (which took a while to get used to)
the only turn-off for me (and the thing that made me stop playing) was that there are no checkpoints or anything; once you die, its all the way to the bottom. You may see this as part of the design, but im going to guess most others would stop playing after the first dath. also it is very difficult trying to platform with the weird mechanics in such a small space with spikes.
If i had more time, this would be a really cool world to experience (even with the somewhat simple graphic style). So kudos to you for proving my upfront judgement wrong!
i pretty fully agree with klianc09. it was a pretty ok game, but the idea is very generic and it was too easy to cheat it. nice job otherwise
i do not understand
very satisfying game! I love that the explosions are in stereo sound too. but it is just a tid-bit of a game.
the web link itself links to an image of a bad gateway error. so the link doesnt 'not work' its just linked to an image that has an error on it.
still no game
this was super cool! i loved the feeling of flying around, and the mechanic of the lasers was perfect in my opinion; you hear a sound so you know its firing, and it will always try to shoot in your path so you are still able to avoid it (unless coming from directly infront/behind you, which shouldnt happen because you should fly towards them anyway)
I didnt beat it because i died and got too frustrated to continue, but it was still super good! nice job
the visual design for this game was super neat! but the gameplay felt bland. the idea is good, but removing it would make no effect if you just think of the red-lines as death. you would play it exactly the same.
regardless, it was really interesting!
pretty interesting. I like the character design, and that there are different weapons, also the music and sound effects are pretty good. however, the game is way too floaty that it was hard to platform, and also you can shoot and swing at the same time which is a little weird. And i can't tell how this connects to the 'connected worlds' theme.
otherwise i thought it was neat! nice job
this game was both good and bad. The core gameplay was kind of interesting at first, but by the end i realized it was literally just me talking to everyone. if i talked to everyone 3 times i would "win". But I'm still not sure if i won, every person is blue but nothing told me i won, so i just have to assume i did.
Some annoying criticisms:
One of the people said to find another person to the east, but he was to the west.
the collision boxes on the trees are nowhere near right.
The graphics are pretty much completely ripped from minicraft (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-22/?action=preview&uid=398), if not worse anyway, and the music most likely not made by you. These aren't against the rules since you did place this under a 'jam' entry, but its not very 'good-spirited' and you could've at least given credit. also the source code looks veerryy similar to minicraft's. So that is a little disheartening, but it isnt a copy so its not against the rules.
interesting idea, but the game falls short in a few areas.
Its a little glitchy with the mechanic, i managed to fall through the world at a few points, and i glitched into the room at the right because i couldnt figure out anything else to do. I put the saturn planet in the hole anf after that i was lost and i spent way too much time trying to figure it out so i stopped. the graphics arent the best but thats ok. It also looked like you imported an entire image into a tileset which is strange, but i dont know. otherwise its a cool little game! nice job
the mood, audio, and graphics are great. the gameplay is sub-par, unfortunately. I only played 2 games, but i feel like no matter what i did i would win. the idea is pretty neat, but theres so little to it that it just feels incomplete. otherwise it was really neat! nice job
wow this was really cool! i loved the art and the character. And also the transitions were smooth i really liked them for some reason. the controls are a bit weird, but thats fine. the core gameplay mechanic is pretty interesting, and very relatable to us coders ;). And the ending was pretty funny i like it haha. I feel like the game would've been really good if you hadnt have gotten sick! But nice entry regardless!
I have multiple criticisms with this game:
1. I do not see how this follows the 'connected worlds' theme in any way besides the opening scene with worlds colliding
2. the game crashed several times trying to create the long green tiles.
3. dropping the tiles went on far too long before the other half of the gameplay came in
4. once the gamepay did come in, I didn't know what I was doing at all besides shooting at drills indefinitely.
5. the enemies are weak enough and you shoot fast enough to where you can just hold down the fire button at the end of the screen and they will never get close to you.
6. this completely makes the first part of the game useless, unless the enemy spawn part actually ends at some point for another wave to come in later, but i waited way too long for that to seem like a possibility.
7. the art is not the best but that isn't as important as design and gameplay.
positives:
1. the music is good
regardless, you did a good job so congrats.
wow awesome concept! but pretty hard hah. good job!
interesting concept! the audio was kinda jarring but it was nice!
interesting idea, but its just ok. and yeah i had to resort to going off-screen to finish a level. good job though!
wow the art style is awesome! and its a unique twist on the generic mining game. awesome!
wow this game really is eye candy! and i am ALL about rhythm games. so this was awesome. though the calibration could be better, i played it first by sight of notes and targets, then i played it by the actual beat and i missed every one, the notes were early. otherwise, solid!
nice job! seems like some good basic programming! keep it up!
awesome work bringing an online multiplayer game to a ludum dare competition! pretty interesting concept
this is pretty confusing and slow, but kinda neat still
wow the graphics are pretty fantastic! i especially loved the animation on the title scree. and yeah like other's said, its pretty much just a trial and error game. except you dont learn from your mistakes since bombs dont reset. nice job though!
pretty neat small game! ive always liked this concept
pretty nice entry! not much going on but its a fun short game nonetheless :)
wow that was pretty bad. kinda surprising so many people worked on it. the instructions never say to double jump, running is awkward, there's lack of feedback, and there's only 2 'levels' if you'd call them that. 1 obstacle each. nice try though.
interesting! this is a great text adventure game, with amazing visuals! nice job
that was ok. in every level i didnt see 1 monster because all i needed to do was shoot left and right constantly. So it was very easy, and nothing new. but it is a good effort!
oh my god this was insanely fun! love it so much! audio, visuals, everything! very polished too! great!
wow this is amazing for only 72 hours! i had myself playing it for a lot longer than i should have haha. great job!
hm. interesting idea! I thought this was going to be complicated and annoying, but it was quite fun! though the boss was quite a disappointment haha, but the music was awesome! And wow that end cutscene took foreevverrrrr... also praise helix.
hm. well. this is a game. veery short, a little glitchy, not suuper fun. but its alright. good job
wow, so pretty! and clever idea! it's presented very well. controls show don't work, instead 'Z' is move forward, and 'Q' is rotate counter-clockwise. good job!
hahhaa what a fun concept! beat it, and enjoyed it! pretty little gameplay-wise, but still fun! nice job :3
pretty interesting! never seen anything like it. fun short little game!
wow this is quite in-depth! i love the sounds and the commands you can give. movement was a little annoying though. nice job! :D
visuals are pretty amazing! though it is quite broken, unless intended, but doubtful. You can't use your weapon if you open your inventory at all, until you walk through another door, i was 'killed' by the monster at the start while he was dead, and the game did nothing and wouldnt let me move. otherwise, pretty ok!
wow nice fun simple game! very innovative! got 238!
Great job guys!
hm. the trippy bg is hard on the eyes, and makes playing fairly annoying, the paddle can travel through the walls, the ball goes through blocks from behind, it's very slow, and i dont see how the theme applies at all. quit after about half the bricks were broken.
the visuals are pretty good! the gameplay is lacking a bit but otherwise it was fun to play! nice job :3
what a cool game, and the idea is very well presented! bravo! love it! quite difficult once you get pretty far though, id imagine its even more fun on a touch device :D
pretty neat! not too much of a game, but fun for what there is! good job!
nice game! a little slow, but looks very polished. kinda difficult too. good job!
wow i had doubts starting out but it turned out to be pretty fun! i love the concept. its pretty hard and annoying to control, at least at the beginning; very floaty. and it was pretty had to tell what i was doing because It didnt look like i was moving at all.
awesome entry! :D
hm.. seems like an interesting concept, though i don't really understand how it works. good job though!
pretty neat concept! i definitely had an idea very similar to this for my game, but i went a different route. Nice job! keep following your dreams :D
This is by far my favorite LD28 game. I absolutely loved everything about it. maybe a little too short, BUt there was nothing reused, no "grinding" design elements where you just do the same thing for even a few levels. the art was fantastic, music fantastic. I thought the ending IDEA was a great idea, but it felt too blunt and unrewarding.
very nice job
very interesting concept, and pretty difficult. i found it mainly banked off of a good spawn of blocks. but fun!
Pretty interesting. died a lot.
interesting concept! i liked it. maybe adding a reset to default function along witht he saving rotations after failing would be good
great as always! loved it
pretty fun puzzle! i liked the story
yeah i thought this was too hard, as in unfair. if the walls blocked rather than killed, or if it wasnt a circular force, more like an pull or a crecent shape, this would be better. cool though!
very very difficult. though i like these games, it just got annoying. good job though! also that isnt your head catching you, theres a tile below your feet
haha, funny. pretty too. good job :D
very fun! and nice humor ha. good job
wow this was super very fun! but i stopped after the place on the screenshot after dying 4 times and doing the level all over again. good job!
very nice restaurant management-type game! well made. good job!
that was very confusing and intriguing. i liked it!
nice puzzle game! some of them were easier than others, and it was mostly just watching things fall into place. good job!
beautiful graphics, great music, and love the robot voices. but i didnt see a goal and the shooting seemed like it did nothing but enemies still died. regardless, that was entertaining.
wooow this was very good! i really enjoyed this one. very creative, nice colors. and after a while i realised that it wasnt a weird robot with a cool hat. XD nice entry!
very difficult! controls are a bit wack, but pretty nice work! i like the upgrade system
wow, fun and pretty polished! it seems pretty hard not to get any penalties from far away, while still getting on the tree. good job!
pretty nice slender-type game! got too laggy for me. good job!
pretty interesting! and difficult. good job
great artstyle! interesting concept
yep, couldnt find a way to win either. oh well, great game!
quite interesting! i like how you pulled this out of the theme
this was extremely.. interesting. i found nothing in it that was 'gamey' in any way, but it was an interesting story
pretty nice graphics! sounds and controls were alright. was a pretty small game, but great for a first entry! nice job
this was very cute and polished! i enjoyed the art style, no mistakes.. the only thing i found wrong with it was that the jumping was a little wonky. great entry!
wow this is really difficult. very nice concept! yeah difficulty is kinda spread randomly.
this was a pretty empty game, and you can jump indefinitely.
wow that was very cool! i like the minimalistic graphics, and the theme is relevant in this one. good job!
pretty neat. voice-acting was a nice touch
pretty fun concept! seemed kinda lackluster though
pretty alright entry. Controls were a bit wonky, and it was very short. just seemed like a "follow the path while spamming click" game.
pretty interesting!
Pretty cool. short, but nice. good job!
HAHA wow this is pretty funny!
follows the theme well! had fun playing through it, got hard at some points
interesting mechanics! colors are a bit awkward but otherwise cool!
nice colors! pretty re-playable too! nice job
haha pretty fun!
haha very funny!
nice minimalistic story!
pretty interesting! i never thought about how very minimalistic imiges can alter views
Great graphics and level design! POTATO4LIYF
wow nice! quite difficult
Very fun! must've been hard for level design
wow this is awesome! The looks are fantastic and a great feel for the 'minimalistic' theme. good music and fun! This is similar to my game where you jump and switch colors. Good job!
wow cool concept! i like how even the HUD is cube based. pretty hard but fun!
cool little snake game!
Cool concept!
This was pretty fun! nice job!
this is very nice! i love these types of games like Motherload. you said you will be working further on the game, is there any way to get notified for future releases?
very nice! though as soon as i played it i instantly thought of give up robot
this was a very good game. i have never seen a game like this before. i made an account just to comment on this game. very nice. and i thought the music was funny.
(p.s. i completed the whole game by myself and ended up with a score of like -5720 or something XD)
LD37 — One room (35)
SpaceBeaver by OWC 2016-12-17T06:04:00
really cool game, lots of content! Maybe a little too 'in your face' all at once when you start though, like maybe let the abilities and weapons be collectible/upgrades?
either way, nice job!
Pest Control by DoubtfulGames 2016-12-17T05:34:00
haha really nice! i liked the art style and the audio. i coulnd't pick up one of the weapons though
but good job
AFK by efno 2016-12-17T05:30:00
really interesting premise! i thought it was pretty funny. not much 'game' there but i think that's mainly the point.
nice job!
Empty by dustyroom 2016-12-15T02:12:00
this is extremely well made. I'm scratching my head just trying to think of how you programmed this. Such an incredible mechanic. the puzzles are super well made too, but maybe a bit difficult. I'll most likely come back to this to try to beat it. the sounds/music are great too
Super Indie Dev Bro by Infin8 2016-12-15T01:56:00
this is like a nice solo version of game dev tycoon, just without the option and with added gameplay. its pretty cool! but pretty short, you get the idea after a few minutes (unless theres more to see after i stopped)
nice job!
StompKid's Nightmare Land by ChrisAntem 2016-12-15T01:52:00
pretty cool. i like the art and music a lot, but the game is kinda unnecessarily difficult. i only barely passed the first level, and the second was identical besides another enemy so i didn't try. i also don't know how i'm supposed to attack or shoot? ctrl didn't work, unless you find weapons in later areas
nice entry regardless!
Bedtime Fright by misteak 2016-12-15T01:47:00
really nice pixel art. the music is good too. its pretty long though, i got kinda tired of it after level 15. they're good puzzles though!
Zomploder by TechXSoftware 2016-12-15T01:32:00
this was pretty fun! shooting and killing is pretty satisfying. nice job!
Granny's Day Out by Potato Dog 2016-12-15T01:28:00
haha fun idea. I like the artstyle. though eventually the game just devolved to clicking on literally everything
but good job!
An Intergalactic Quest For Interior Walls by BlueLlama 2016-12-15T01:23:00
pretty cool game! nice puzzles, that reaally ramp in difficulty quickly. which makes sense, since there's only 4 of them
the game doesn't really run well though. it lags every time i place a wall
otherwise i thought it was fun. nice job!
TISIC IZIEB by Split82 2016-12-15T01:18:00
sooo beautiful. I absolutely loved the graphics. Though they were very hard on my computer, and i only got about 20fps
the gameplay is interesting, but nothing new. I don't really think it needs to be, though. It does it's job just fine
nice job!
BabyShooter by Sergeant_PL 2016-12-15T01:06:00
pretty good! interesting ideas and controls, but maybe kinda bland. with more weapons or movement options might make it better
Crowded Room by th3balta 2016-12-15T01:02:00
interesting idea, but pretty poorly executed. its nearly impossible to anticipate where you are when you spawn, so you basically just die instantly. and sometimes you spawn on top of the previous path anyway, so you dont even have a choice
with that issue fixed this may have been a cool entry
Paranormal Cativity by PeYMaN 2016-12-14T20:00:00
pretty cool game! the attack sequence is too short most of the time, so its pretty difficult. otherwise i liked it!
A Buzzy Bee by OnionBlaze 2016-12-14T19:39:00
really nice! the art and story is really charming. the controls were a bit awkward, but it was fun anyway!
nice job!
DMG CTRL by SidewalkSleeper 2016-12-14T19:19:00
pretty nice little game! I liked the intro cutscene, and the art is nice. There could have been more content of course. also maybe some more feedback when you kill certain enemies.
nice job!
ｓｐｒｉｎｇ ｃｌｅａｎｉｎｇ by 01010111 2016-12-14T19:12:00
gosh that art is so charming. and the music too! oh man
but one of the nice days i didn't get any text :(. what a sad day
despite the lack of content and gameplay, it's still a nice little game. well done :)
Going Outside by karln 2016-12-14T19:06:00
interesting idea! I like hoe you have to limit your screaming so you dont fall. also just being able to fall into the void is pretty morbid haha.
nice job!
Word Decor by ethankennerly 2016-12-14T19:00:00
interesting idea! pretty difficult too, i only got through like 15 before i started just spamming hint to see what the words were
nice job
13 jellyfish by Four Quarters 2016-12-14T18:53:00
amaazinng art and really good music and sound. the game mechanic is pretty cool, but i wasnt able to beat it.
nice job!
Reckless Redecoration by qbicfeet 2016-12-14T18:23:00
really nice pico8 entry! the graphics were very pleasing. I couldnt figure out how to pass all objectives, but it was neat anyway!
Glasses Guess by thu_denny 2016-12-14T18:16:00
really cool! interesting idea and nice art. the end was kinda sad though :(
nice entry!
Toy Box Metropolis by SecondDimension 2016-12-14T10:12:00
Really nice graphics, and really cool idea. it was pretty boring though, and kinda tedious just placing buildings. it would have been nice to be able to see your objectives and current scores as you were playing
The F Revenge by Pandanymous 2016-12-14T09:55:00
really interesting idea, but the controls are horribble and the physics are very glitchy. I almost managed to beat it despite that, but fell through the floor at the end and didn't want to go through that again.
otherwise its a really neat mechanic! could be interesting having fixed those issues
Puppertrator by NotExplosive 2016-12-14T09:49:00
really nice! awesome art and theme.
DISCOCUBE by BathPirate 2016-12-14T09:28:00
super awesome visuals and music. interesting puzzles too! but pretty bland. There's a lot more you could have done with the level design on top of just teleporters.
good job!
ROOM ZERO by dv49 2016-12-14T07:34:00
I suuper love the visuals and overall design. the game itself is pretty hard though, maybe too hard. having ammo spawn on-top of enemy spawners is pretty annoying. and also having to hit spacebar and then click to restart is weird. why not make both spacebar? or just not a second command at all
either way i thought it was a cool game
Ada's Room by bitnenfer 2016-12-14T07:22:00
Interesting game! Pretty fun to play. but there are some audio issues that were really bad. the skull laugh was like 100x louder than anything else, it clipped my headphones every time. which happened a lot because i didnt know how to attack for a while. and most of the sound effects popped, but thats not as bad
the music was cool. It's definitely a remix but i cant remember of what.
regardless i liked the game
The Lock by fullmontis 2016-12-14T02:32:00
pretty cool puzzle! I imagine it was tough to design so many elements in a single area. nice job!
Warehouse Shuffle by Archimagus 2016-12-14T01:43:00
Pretty cool idea. It's kinda easy to just go forever by not upgrading the storage area. you can just drag the items directly between trucks, and since the difficulty scales mainly (or only?) based on the storage size you can keep doing that forever.
otherwise i thought it was cool! nice job
OctaRoom by muriel 2016-12-14T01:34:00
Really interesting idea! It works better than i expected. Probably easier with a mouse than a touchpad, but i still won! nice entry
Tangent by rxi 2016-12-12T21:43:00
Sooooo incredible. really love the warping effect and puzzles. And the music too gosh dang. awesome entry
Little Machine by Darzoz 2016-12-12T09:28:00
Yep I agree with the others; start out progressing faster then get slower
otherwise i thought it was a nice little clicker game :)
My Friend Bubba by TijmenTio 2016-12-12T07:59:00
This is super awesome. I reaallly love the visual effects and style in general. oh man.
The gameplay is a little confusing, which really adds to that wonder/exploration feel. Really interesting entry!
Dragon Defroster by aeveis 2016-12-12T06:13:00
Really cute! I love the effect the snow makes when it melts
