Excellent!
To find something negative, I think it was a bit slow paced and the controls could have been better. The puzzles were not that fun or creative.

Interesting, but hard to learn. I also liked the educational aspect, but it would have been better to include that stuff in the game rather than the ReadMe :)
It should definitely have had actual code snippets instead of horizontal lines. Also the controls are a bit flawed as you can just move the mouse quickly between opposite corners to capture everything :)
I like the game idea though.
Innovative combination of tetris and bullet hell shmup!
The changing of water currents was great, maybe the game could have utilized that mechanic more.
Controls were a bit awkward, maybe just use WASD and no mouse? Also the levels played exactly the same due to lack of randomness. Otherwise a very nice looking and playable game.
Awesome product, laughed so much! Still, I'm reluctant to call this a game (and rate it high) since the player interaction is minimal and replay value zero.
Very interesting concept. Maybe you could have made a more story-oriented game?
I bit too fast paced. Interesting idea however.
Fun to play!
Surprisingly addictive! The graphics could be improved easily with some math, for example changing colors, shakes, slight automatic movement of the polygon, more and better particles, ...
Game mechanics were not very balanced - too much hp and dodging bullets seems hard. Too easy.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'll try to play, rate and maybe comment your games in return when I have time (many I already have).
I'm currently making a postcompo version, in which I try to improve things you commented on, and implement some new ideas.
I didn't feel like the game was enough consistent for a puzzle game (too much randomness). Otherwise good!
The art was just spectacular. Humor and music are great. But I didn't like how the gameplay was forced - couldn't proceed until doing specific things that the game told me to do :(
Wow, that really was villainous. Very nice game.
Excellent entry in all respects!
Ahahaha. This is just brilliant! Really love to see a text based game with such good writing. Such creative literal interpretation of "You are the Villain" too!
Great graphic style. Mood and theme intrepratation were good. Gameplay was lacking a bit - I found it impossible to shake of the villagers and they lumped together in an uninteresting manner (so that jumping was hard to utilize). Also I didn't quite grasp the map layout and didn't find my way back to the den :(
Amazing work. The idea that saving is basically recapturing, so that heroes are very much like villains is brilliant.
