Amusingly strange concept! I'm glad it's too hard rather than too easy, though I think the giant moon is just too hard to handle with so many little mines. Maybe it's easier on a touch screen? Great art style, very clean, could see this working for a variety of projects. (:
I laughed throughout. Awesome work.
Enjoyed it! The music is great. Love how the humor meshes with the dark atmosphere.
Nice! I got to level 9 and died. Sweet animations, delicious honey. Needs more growling.
Arkanoid is an old favourite. This hurt my brain at first, and I'm still not sure what sort of strategy to employ. It's bind-boggling like that, in an engaging sort of way.
Yay, I beat it! It was a bit hard, but mostly only due to the movement controls. I loved the music and overall idea. Thanks!
YES. Squids and octopi need better representation in games. Good work on the art and music.
Awesome. I'm guessing <spoilercharacterspoiler> pulls all the strings.
Awesome! I finally beat it. Love how it just kept throwing more levels in. Great job. Memorable game, funny voices. :]
;D
Love it. But I'm biased. Tricky little platformers like this rock my socks. Unofficial ghost run challenge totally worth it. :D
Haha, wow. I wasn't expecting this to be so funny. It's the speed and slideyness of the puppy that does it. So cute and funny zooming around bouncing off walls. :D
ratking - your comment makes me think of Brogue, which is pretty much the most accessible roguelike ever. You can just click everything! Though I enjoy using the numpad for movement, I agree that this game could definitely be improved with interfacey clicky actions.
Hell yes.
Great work on the music, pretty cool score.
Great entry. Nice simple play, awesome music and sound. I adore the natural looking graphics.
Nailed it.
I like it! Tickling a giant knight with your tiny sword. It's so amusing.
Nice challenge, lost on the second-to-last level and had to play through again, was relieved the final level wasn't as nerve-wracking. Cool concept, escaping prison while bound in zero-g.
Awesome concept. So true. Defy logic, maintain villainous dominance!
Nice, made me laugh when I escaped the island by ramping off the wall and falling into the abyss. (:
Tricking superheroes into becoming villains in the eyes of the public is a grand idea. Would love to see that expanded upon in a bigger game. Also, I wish I could skip the intro text...!
Enjoyed this game! Very, very cute.
Nice game with a ton of content. Very grindy, but it ramps up later. I found the most effective strategy was saving money so there are more assailants on screen, getting more souls in just a few bounces and then dying, without wasting time chasing single souls. Ha.
Man, I really wish this worked. Sorry about that sprite bug. Very cool idea and it seems really fun. I was invested in my playthrough, since it's fun upgrading the ship... especially how the hull grows. Hope to see a playable one sometime with the sprite bug fixed. IMO, game-breaking bugs should be okay to fix during the judging period, but who knows...
Oh, yay! It took me 20 minutes to destroy the earth, but I got to experience the glory of a fully upgraded ship. Kudos for those graphical touches. I also like that the initial hull is like Asteroids. As you upgrade your weapon, at least in the web player, there is significant slowdown. With the maximum bullet count, I was getting like 2fps during a volley. Fun, though, and an amusing story. Could totally see this scrap/upgrade system working, maybe with faster controls and greater opposition. (:
Hey, nice execution. A PvP web game where everyone's a villain to everyone else. :D
Cool twist on a classic formula. Pretty challenging, but a well-rounded result for a few starting late. Makes me think about missile bombardment from a micromanagement perspective.
Yay, I won. :D This is cool. I like the checklist type level select screen and Barbara is a memorable character. The physicists, too.
Amazing.
Wow, thanks for the feedback everyone. :D Fireblend, astute. I'm glad you guys enjoy it, and that it's making you feel guilty. Mwahaha, I am the true villain after all! (Just kidding.)
Will, I agree that the physics are a bit obscure at the moment. I had planned for dragging and throwing, but decided to stick with simple rubberband-style snapping (kind of like a slingshot) in order to move on.
Winterblood, I totally agree that it needs more game to it, and do have a few things in mind for a polished version. :)
Thanks for all your comments and feedback everybody, glad you are enjoying it.
GFM - I got that feeling early on myself, and kind of used that memory as inspiration. Glad someone else picked up on that. :)
SmallDeadGuy, jsmars, Rosy, wzl - indeed! These are things I'd had in mind from the start but didn't get to add. Also, thanks for the little review wzl!
Cosine - yeah, I really hope to polish the art a bit more. It could all be a lot more cohesive and interesting. Maybe even make the environment interactive, too.
Thanks all! To those that mention its being rather empty and pointless: I entirely agree. Thank you for playing what little there is at the moment, anyway. :]
Hilarious idea. Love how you capitalized on the theme of being a villain by just being an overpowered thing that stomps almost everything it touches. The chart and jargon are a really nice touch, wish it ended properly.
Awesome innovation. Took me a while (until a ways through cleaning) to realize what was going on. I like that it wasn't obvious at first, though I knew things were changing somehow. Very surreal and ominous.
Cool sprites. I like the visual style. How are you a villain? I think I beat it, but I'm not sure. Love the art though, thanks for sharing!
Nice little concept. Puzzles where you try to minimize your moves are indeed fun. Might like it if the game pushed the user towards hitting par or lower a bit more.
Despite the difficulty, I love it. Hard is good. Nice game overall, good work!
Very nice! I couldn't finish the final tower, but enjoyed the experience.
Great music. I feel like everything moves by too fast, but loved the story and general idea. Thanks for including the cat. (:
Enjoyed the graphics and presentation. I like the story, but feel a bit confused. Am I the villain because I have allowed my curiosity (white rabbit) to decay in a modern world of preoccupation and instant gratification? Maybe.
This is clever and thought-provoking, well done.
Nice game, but the last level is just too tough on me. Takes forever and if you miss once it throws the whole next 30 turns. I don't think aiming adds anything to this game, especially since the CPU never misses. I could see it being an interesting strategy game without the aiming. (: Definitely enjoy the story text throughout.
This is really fun. Great concept for a puzzle game with the limited beam things. :)
Nice presentation here. The graphics and audio go together very well. Peace, mon. (:
Very nice idea, felt good to be the villain. This concept is a real winner.
Micromanagement at its finest! Great job, had a lot of fun. Beat it on the second or third attempt. The old orc with the moustache is pretty funny, too.
Hmm... no luck without the web player. Any chance you could upload a WebGL version?
No worries Danny, I'm just out on the chromebook which can only play WebGL entries. Yours looked super interesting, so I thought I'd ask. :) I'll try it on another machine later!
