This was linked to me by some random dude in chat. And boy am I glad they did. This was a treat to play. Terrain morphing puzzle platformer. yes pls. Difficult to learn really understand at first. But you eventually get there. Thanks for making this :)
Really cute game. I'm nearly finished with it but wanted to show you a funny lil' bug. I was able to run along the outside of the fence and walk around freely out there. watwatwat.png
My only gripe is how easy it is to get caught on corners. And there are alot of tight cornery things to navigate.
Looks like you were preparing for the potential theme 'classic game with a twist'. Very calming. I did like the sudden changes in pace. It started getting hectic as soon as I started thinking if it was gonna
Super nice casual puzzler. Once I read the extra rules while ingame it finally clicked.. Really smart and simple design. Love it. Is the sound effect you going 'squish' with your mouth?
love it :P
Super difficult to understand. But lost track of time once I got the hang of it. Really solid once you get past the learning curve.
Such a funny idea. The best part of this jam is playing all these surreal games. Weather condition randomness could add some good flavor to it. Controls are a little slippery but I really enjoyed the physics of the world. I appreciate how respawn is sped up. Good game overall.
I'm so bad. 80% of my restarts start with a piece of flying junk to the face. The pallette is nice but some of the sprites are too similar. Its really easy to get confused when trying to go faster than the default speed. Fair jam game.
Very interesting game. Game gets alot more interesting when you introduce virgin births.
Dope idea. First survival genre game i've played sofar in the jam but it was a solid one. Good job.
I love the bgm in this game. This is for sure a quality idea that could be expanded into something great. Reminds me of downwell.
I've only played one other god game this jam. An underrepresented genre for sure. I love the experience although there could have been alot more risk. Felt lacking in challenge but LOOKS and FEELS real nice.
Tank movements feel real tanky but not slow. Firing is satisfying. Make more of this game pls :)
When you check for player activating a jump while jumping. Zero out their vertical speed so the jump really has an effect. The Triple jump is pretty much pointless unless you do it frame perfect. Also you can spam spacebar real fast and slam against the ceiling. Speed up the scroll a little bit more :)
This is a fantastic little puzzle game. And, without a doubt, the best use of the theme I've seen so far. I really enjoyed it. Some of the shots are a little hard to make. Didnt feel like there was any consistent way to shoot the coin exactly where I wanted it to be while jumping. Something to note. Both the sound and the transition play twice on death. You introduce alot of neat tricks, I would like to see them be used together in more elaborate setups. Also, I wanted to eat all the coins at the end and bust. Too Short. I want to play more :)
I can't imagine how much more difficult this would be with textures and worldobjects all around the npcs. Its already plenty hard enough to look through the constantly moving crowd. It does get tedious after a while but I think that could be easily solved. Good jam game overall just very difficult.
I was unable to die. I just stayed at a sliver of a heart for forever.
keyboard controls do not work at all if you've got a gamepad plugged in. The game lags everytime the ground mob shoots the multi directional bullets. Are you drawing all objects on a stage the entire time? And allowing them to shoot? Consider only activating a little bit beyond what the player can see. Its sortof unplayable with the constant lagfreeze spikes.
the start reminds me of universal paperclips. More of that stuff pls
First time play an asymmetrical autorun shooter. Make more of this pls :)
make restarting faster pls!
SUCH a delightful experience! It did quit on me. I don't think i did anything to deserve it but i cant be sure. I love the artstyle and the voice over is a nice touch.
Can only one of the orbs at the start be busted at any one time? I couldn't get them to break pressing E or F. Least, not the one I wanted to. I'd spam it on the far right one only for the far left one to break. Player is alive after zero hearts are left.Sometimes my jumps wouldn't register when I pressed the button.
I use to play the mess out of the slot-car game that came bundled with pcs way back when. I was in the lead 100% of the time with a gun I had no use for. Give the leading player things to shoot at please.
I wish the fireball casting were more consistent. Sometimes I fire none. Sometimes I fire one. Sometimes I fire a stream of three. The art is real cute and I did enjoy sucking the life out of people and hearing the things they say as you tease them with a life or two of health before you suck it all away.
I'm pleased you added some variety to the enemies AI. I liked that some mobs didnt bother approaching at all and shot from a distance. Cute graphics. Fairly simple. Could be alot more difficult.
I had 75 points. I purchased capacity and thrusters. Had 25 points left but couldn't buy the mine beam upgrade for 25. Why is that? Starts out a little slow but really feels nice towards the end. Great atmosphere.
Yeah that makes sense I suppose. It didn't occur to me the 'shopkeeper' may care more than I do about having enough fuel to make it far enough away. Thanks for the clarification.
Simple but cute and enjoyable. Is there anything you wish you had time to add?
Couldnt break 2080. Great Loop. Super fast restarting. Awesome theme. Nice BGM. Great all around. Nice job.
Art style and movement reminds me alot of awesomenauts for some reason. The slime colours behaving differently is interesting. I am finding it difficult to last long tho.
Not having any combat feedback makes it really hard to enjoy the game since thats 99% of it.. I played it just to try out the exploit pictured above.
Got to 376. Simple and solid. Felt like it took forever to get out of level 1 but once things got rolling things got fun.
The death screen is hallarious and unexpected. Game is super short but fine for what it is. One of those get it all wrong til you get it right games.
The teleport to the top of ladders is very jarring. I did like the idea of the sprite showing age as time was lost/removed when damaged.
This is probably my favorite game so far. Feels real good reflecting one enemies bullets at another. The mid wave shop fulfills the theme requirements perfectly. There is a huge difficulty spike on level 3 but it feels real nice to get gud at the game and push through it. I would absolutely play more of this.
I am terrible at punching thieving kids. I enjoyed the absurd setting and doodle art style. For as badly as these kids want the coin out of my body... more often than not, they still choose to chase me even though i've thrown out tons of coins. Why do they want the ones still inside me so bad? ;/
It would have helped to have a visual reminder of what each options key was during gameplay. The art style is great. Neat skillgame.
Very nice feel. Controls feel nice. I opted for a sword but my sword shot bullets. So that was strange.. but other than that gud job.
You have exclusively keyboard controls during gameplay. But on death you require the mouse be used to attempt again. I'd probably play this a fair bit more if it were faster to restart.
I really wanted to give this game a go. It looks interesting. But I get an error on startup. "The procedure entry point GetSystemTimePreciesAsFileTime could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"
@sebastien-bourgeois windows 7
@ me again if you come across a fix or something. I really would like to try this game.
Hey! Thanks for fixing it for windows 7!

Short but nice. Very easy and a little slow but for sure great groundwork. Some visual indicators for damage being done would be nice. Great mood/atmosphere. I love the bgm.
Team monsters :) Very cute
This is a really neat proof of concept for a mechanic that could carry a fine game. I just wish there was something more to do with my pack of green bois. It needs more chaos.
I'm a sucker for cute intro cutscenes. I did feel the gameplay was a little too slow. Very much on theme though. Great job.
Its just like real life. You do the things and at the end its just over. Were you satisfied? idk.. am dead.
Short and sweet. I'm 642,200$ richer. You can squeak against the walls and not be damaged by ground spikes tho. Literally BEING currency.. very nice use of the theme.
Is it intentional that items double up ontop of each other? Sometimes I'd collect a wrong item but it would say I collected the correct item. I assume this is because the correct one was underneath it? Could easily see this as a neopets game or something. Solid idea.
Super nice concept and mood but its so hard to control :/
Super short. Trippy art style. I played it as true to my life and I ended up marrying my pc. Thanks ;)
This is a really cute game! I've never seen any mechanic like the selfie camera. Do more of this :)
Great audio. It took me a sec to get what was happening but after I figured it out it ended up being pretty fun. Although I dont think I made it all that far... Even after multiple attempts.
There was alot of text setup for how simple the game is. I kept hearing the sound of coins being picked up eventhough I wasn't picking them up myself. It was as loud as If I was doing it. If its the enemies picking them up, consider making the audio reflect this.
So cute. I love your art! Did you also do the music? Incredible for a FIRST game.
Very short. Do the enemies wander? I got a shop message after completing it but then the play button wouldn't work anymore.
There are actually two ways of avoid buying the two initial upgrades. Thanks for being the first to try it :)
Only one bullet type is stopped by walls. The Blue one. Red one Bounces. Black one is immune to walls.
Thanks everyone for giving it a go :)
edit: @noobexception. The secret win condition lock is intentional for reasons I can't say cause of spoilers. But it was a mood choice. You're the first to find it. Good job being so curious!
@Saering Sorry, never occurred to me. And since i dunno the rules regarding updating a submission after time has elapsed.. Heres a build for French Keyboards(i think) https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ebPqCOTgdxWM7FGtYdyTNcrwcf60cvGa
@seb-jones Wall eaters power really shines once you make it late game. Thanks for the plays everyone!
@gcttirth you sat on a spike for 30 seconds just to see what it would do. You were rewarded. But you must find its value inside yourself. Its your ending. On your terms.
@cpx3 Yeah, If I could go back and change any one thing it would be to have you respawn upside down at the first choice on game restart. Thanks for the feedback. And more thanks for taking the time to play my game.
The sounds are god tier! I love the art style and the difficulty was just right.
Man.. this is a tough game. Its an interesting twist on tetris. Trying to first identify the optimal place for a piece in the position its dropped..Weighing the damage of two dead lines at the bottom or two self made dead lines at the stop. It felt good having my brain exercised. This woulda went so well under one of the discarded themes.
Cant rate it because I dont have a mac to play it. But the art was so cute that I had to comment and say so. If this ever gets a windows build please @ping me.
