Not a great fan of this game. Just spamming the mouse click gets me scores of below 0.9 seconds. Doesn't fit the theme, nor is particularly fun

Quite fun and enjoyable. Makes a quite complete game, although I'd like more challenges
Can you not upload an ipa for jailbroken people? ;) I really wanna try this
Not particularly fun I must say. I like the graphics, and it fit the theme well, but the lack of music was a little annoying. Quite hard too, once I got to the 3rd level with the guys that throw stuff I just kept repeatedly dying. Also the pathfinding of the slimes seems like the hug to corners, and it's annoying trying to lure them anywhere
Disappointed. I was hoping for something deep and meaningful, not just a silly remake of minecraft. I agree it's quite a nice game, but does it feel lonely? No. Is it particularly fun? Nope. Is it innovative at all? Definitely not. The graphics and audio are pretty nice, but they don't make up for the fact that this is a remake of your previous or that it doesn't seem to fit the theme or have a story at all.
Nice game! Quite hard, I got 8 fragments though :D
Quite confusing, it made it a little less fun, but once you destroy the barriers and convert everything to hunters the fun starts! :D
Quite fun, not impressed with graphics but it's ok nevertheless
It's not loading for me, can you embed it in a website page or upload it to something like mediafire or dropbox instead please? This game looks good
Same as Frankie, I really was looking forward to a nice game here, but then it turned out to be a boring puzzle. :/
Quite boring, no good gameplay, the grenades or whatever were useless unless you built a place where they won't roll like crazy. And worst of all, it's a game maker game D:
I like the graphics, and it's a good idea. Mood didn't seem that alone, but it's a nice game!
Quite innovative, but not particularly fun. There were a few places I got stuck, and the graphics weren't that great either
What? This is terrible. Bad graphics, no sound, not innovative, not particularly fun, no story, doesn't fit with the theme.
Quite fun, I kinda like it but the controls feel a little awkward and the sound is annoying. I can't get very far because I keep sliding off the edge of platforms :/
196mb download? That'll take hours on my 20KB/s max internet! I'm not playing this game until I go to my dad's, where the internet is a little better
40mb? Geez. My internet is slow, like 20KB/s, so I'm not gonna be rating this until I go to my dad's where I have good internet
Fun! A bit repetitive and the speed of the monster should also be proportional to the size of the planet instead of just rotation as a degree on a large planet is a heck of a lot larger arc length than on a small one!
I love it! The graphics are great, the story is nice, the controls are usable and it's fun! I wish you good luck, I think this will go far :D
Pretty fun. Graphics are ok. Quite hard. Music is an obvious generation :P it;s not such a bad game actually
Nice! Graphics are neat, it's a little confusing unless you scroll down and it doesn't particularly feel like a game when you do :(
Pretty fun, music is a bit repetitive and the graphics are fairly simple but the concept is nice :)
A bit chaotic, didn't get it at first :P Graphics are pretty funky. The music is neat too. Fun :)
Pretty fun, a bit hard and not much help with controls, is there any way to shoot or anything?
Great game! Fun, quite original at least from what I've seen
Fun! Graphics are nice, the idea is nice too :) I think some preset levels would be good. The music is a little mixed up, some bits seem like calm melody played over a fast drum bit :/
Pretty good, the graphics are a little shoddy and I had to install some stuff to make it work but it's quite fun. I just spammed houses though, if I didn't I'd get overrun by homeless people
Pretty good. Graphics weren't great and the sound was non-existant. Pretty innovative and could evolve into something great :)
It's a great game! I love it, funny too.
Amazing! I totally love it! At first I thought it'd be shit as it was game maker but you proved me wrong! I knew games with game maker could be good, but I've always disapproved. For you I just made an exception :D
Quite a nice game. Pretty fun when you get the hang of it. The graphics are nice, but you do need a better tutorial or something. I somehow managed to complete it through a combination of guesswork and a little logic based on what happened when I clicked things
Yeah movement does crash every now an then, I know why too. Unfortunately not an easy to solve one (well the crash is but it'd involve losing the glitchy units who are the culprits)
Yeah I was trying to get a nice flocking algorithm going but couldn't really find anything that fit into a grid nicely with the amount of units being controlled
Quite hard to control, you should also use better input reading, such as checking if the button was previously pressed so you don't get repeated actions from one button press like on the menus. Could be better
Ok I guess. Pretty good but not particularly innovative and became tedious. Keep at it, you can only get better
Pretty fun, couldn't really tell the quality of the graphics due to graphical glitches in my browser. It looks good other than that, but there's also a lack of music. It's fun to play and relatively simple, although I think smoother movement would have been nice.
Quite fun but a bit tedious and slow. The enemies were a bit too stupid as well, but nothing A* pathfinding wouldn't fix and at that movement rate you could have found a path for every enemy at every movement with no lag between movement times
Fun game. One of the rare few with nice non-generated music :P Pretty fun but it is an idea I've seen before many times and from the first few levels I didn't really see much expansion on the idea of pushing boxes
Fairly generic idea but made more fun. And he has a moustache :) 4/5
Nice game. Graphics are pretty cool, it's original, and I feel very evil :D
Kinda fun. Nice and polished
Ragequit on second level. Collisions are kind of annoying, and a bit boring. Seems to be a pretty generic concept, implemented kinda poorly. Sorry if I sound mean
Controls are slightly awkward, in terms of buying things. I don't like the actual boss fighting much but maybe because I'm not used to it. It seems like I use more money in preparation (like treasure) than I gain in a fight
Wow, this game. So fun :D
Yeah, fun but hard.
Can't play on my 1366x768 screen, dammit! Kinda fun still, trying to guess what the bottom few tiles are
Everywhere I went was empty, got bored real quick...
It ran out of text but very good. Didn't understand it so much at the beginning and had a really inefficient design but it improved greatly after that :D
Needs improvement. Graphics are pretty poor, glitchy if you move towards the edge, arrows seem to have varying/very little range and no physics, upgrades aren't that effective, sound was annoying, no music, etc. Sorry if I sound so mean but this seems like a fairly generically bad game
I win, I think. Neat game, coulda last longer and had more story but decent nonetheless. I like the idea of corrupting other games, I just wish you'd expanded it more
The controls are kind of annoying, and I found the second level really difficult, as it'd either pounce far too far into the light or get stuck on a wall in the light. Pretty fun though
I don't really understand it but it's fun. The music is pretty cool, and the art is nice
I don't really understand it but hey, it was pretty fun
Fun, nice idea. Would have liked it to be expanded more
Generic comment here. Amazing graphics. Fun. Theme pretty good. Not amazingly innovative but ++ for the awesome spray weapon. Sound kinda annoying though
I swear it kept taking control of me and I couldn't do anything. I was only trying to make everything tiny! Great concept :D
Pretty fun. Could have used more levels, the graphics were nice, the ending was kinda cool too
There is no time for pokemon references!
Lol, I did think about changing the tutorial a bit and it would have been easy. Most people seem to fail a max of once though, at least my IRL friends after I laugh at them
Thanks for all the nice comments. The little complaints like the tutorial and no decent victory bit were simply due to lack of time. I think I invested too long in a menu system which I didn't fully utilise ;(
I would have added better multiplayer, with specific maps and more than 1 player and possibly different AI if I'd have had more time. The AI is pretty dumb in terms of strategy but for the 48 hours I'm pretty pleased with it, since most of it was me frantically hacking away at things in the car journey between my parent's houses.
That bug has been reported to me in irc, but I've only ever come across it once and no-one else has ever reported it so I haven't deemed it game-breaking enough to need a fix.
AIs getting very close was due to lack of time (and skill) on my part, and I found it made thinking of strategy to be more than just shoot then hide. I couldn't really nail the villain theme, since my idea was originally mostly planned for a few other themes then I tried to fit it around this one with the story. And yes, I did mean "harsh". I can't believe I never noticed that mistake
Awesome game. Becoming what you have just defeated and then need to defeat? Wow................... I wish my idea went that deep, philosophically at least. All I got was a generic tank shooter, and before that a generic RTS, and before that a generic top-down shooter
Kinda boring. Doesn't fit the theme that well. Not particularly impressed, even though the 3d is nice
I found a portal gun but I couldn't use it!
A fun game! Lost the first game but after that it was easy to strategize and win. I'd like more levels and a story but it's a good game nonetheless! 4/5
Difficult. Kinda confusing. Pretty fun. He kept raging at me :( Stopping your evil overlord doesn't make you see like the villian, so theme-- unfortunately. Graphics are nice, quite funny too. Good job!
Nice game! Doesn't seem to get particularly exciting too quickly but nice nonetheless :)
Runs REALLY badly on my native 1920x1080 resolution even though I have a beastly gaming laptop which runs most things at max settings perfectly, had to make a pretty damn small window. Didn't seem like a game at all, and the kinda thing you might knock up in an hour to test a physics engine.
Fun game, controls felt a bit iffy at some places like wall jumping and such. Title music is really quite grindy. On the whole pretty good for 48 hours :D
I get about 3.5, I wish I used my numpad on my laptop more. Having to hit backspace when I fat-finger 2 keys annoys me :(
Really confusing at the beginning, some kind of in-game tutorial would be nice. Fairly original, could do with more polish
I didn't seem to die. And ammo was so scarce I killed like 6 zombies then just ran around looking for ammo.
I got bored of waiting and decided to just go negative score. Got like 3 achievements. Kind of ok, not exactly original until I got to the 4 pong paddle bits. The sounds were ok but some music would be nice
Nice game, well polished. I don't see many jam games.
Nice game, well polished. I don't see many jam games. Really cool mechanic but it was hard to estimate collisions around objects.
Physics was kinda ok. The ball was a bit weird and seemed to just stick towards either edge of the screen. Not much polish such as menus for the 48 hours. The paddle moved far too slowly.
Quite nice game. Could use a bit more polish with music but the puzzles are really nice.
There is nowhere near enough distance to fall to tell which is the shortest, and sometimes there are 2 almost identically short. very simple, didn't seem to have any audio. It is only 48 hours, but even my first entry like a few years ago wasn't anywhere near this simple.
Oh god wtf trippy should not play this before lesson i feel sick. uuuuurrrrggghhhh. Great game though, nice implementation of normal avoidance games. Confused me a bit at first until I realised the concept.
Funny game, all I found was a potato
A little simple and easy. Graphics weren't too bad, and was a little puzzling. Not bad for 48 hours, but some audio and a bit more polish would be nice.
Did a windows reupload because it seemed broked to some people in IRC, try the download link again if it doesn't work for you. Be sure to run oalinst.exe if it doesn't run in case the problem is openal
Couldn't get past the 5th level. Was quite fun. The numbers (I guess) at the top were just squares I guess I don't have the font you use for it. Innovative and kinda hard. Would have liked the player to be like the same size as the grid and probably locked to it too. Would make it much easier to generate the path you're actually trying to make.
Nice work! Great concept, music is awesome, difficulty scales nicely. Glad this isn't in the 48 hour competition, I couldn't compete with it :P
Music didn't work for me, felt like a basic "throw stereotypes at you as a prediction" thing. Not actually a game...
Blame the theme, it'd be faster if it was 5 seconds :P I didn't want to go making the night-time a different length than the day because it's weird and would fit the theme less
