Well done! eeerily similar to an idea i've had in my head for quite a long time, I love LD.
fun little game, eat my rainbows blue blocks lol
cool concept, i'd like to see what you do with this,
I couldnt get out of the first room, space said shoot projectiles but when i clicked it i jumped
Very polished and beautiful, good sound design, would like some music, but over all great entry!
I wanted to play this game, however i fell into the great blue nothing, with no way to restart, I moved onto another game, good start though, great graphics, keep it up!
had a goof bit of fun with it, music was a bit grating, great choice of weapon!
Excellently polished an good fun, got a bit too hard for me pretty quickly, i dunno if thats cuz I suck, or because it needs balancing
Great use of mood, I did not find it fun personally, but it looked really nice, sounds were a bit grating.
Incredible! I learned so much just from playing this game, THIS is why I do LD, thank you so much, you really composed a masterpiece in a very short amount of time.
I rage quit after falling in lava and restarting at begining
Well Done, what a herculean effort of music creation, do you plan on releasing the music for use for games?
Why no web version?
Had a hard time figuring out the controls and once i did, the rhythm was weird to catch, and it seemed to work better just spamming the buttons, cool concept but needs more work,
Neat Random weapon generator!
the sounds were a bit grating for me, I had a hard time with it on my touch pad, but a good bit of fun for awhile,
I couldn't use WASD in web version as well,
also I don't think swords are very unconventional.
You win. Man I couldn't beat it any time, it just made me feel insulted.
Great design, I thought it was a really interesting premise, Would really be great with some arrow thwacks.
great aesthetic, premise reminds me of simpsons quote "Or What? You'll Release the Dogs? or the Bees? or the Dogs with Bees in Their Mouths so When They Bark They Shoot Bees at You?"
Had alot of fun wanderin round, looks really nice.
very polished entry, great level design fun mechanic!
interesting game, would be cool to see it developed further,
excelent animations, very polished feel, had alot of fun for a few minutes
amazing use of theme well done, graphics were simplistic, but very well used, brilliantly done!
really cool concept, might be more fun if portal is a little bigger?
the commands are alot to remember for someone just reading them once, also opening dialog was a bit wordy, I probably would have quit on it if it wasnt a ld entry, Great art though, really cool concept, maybe more in game reference of commands?
the level wrap was a cool mechanic, and i loved using it to hide from squid, i respawned right in the middle of those devilish squid which caused inescapable death,
good use of theme, cool control mechanic, Without much ramping up in difficulty or level breaks i did get bored of it pretty quick.
good concept, sounds abit annoying, great job overall!
really cool premise, had alot of fun! great job
Needs a way of showing how much i can charge before jump, brilliant graphics,
great job, sounds are a bit grating, but other than that they fit in well with the terrific voxel style graphics, excellently presented, great job!
the file i downloaded was an invalid zip
very cool presentation, i loved the HUD
very cool, excellent job at making me feel powerful and vulnerable at the same time
very atmospheric!
excellent job! love the voice overs, and very solid game mechanics, i think you should develop this further,
game too slow for me to enjoy seemed to have alot of enemies
I had alot of fun playing this, really cool mechanic with th pacman and the snake, i think you should develop that mechanic more, and make up some of your own characters
cool mechanic, very spooky atmosphere, excellent!
ha ha smite them all!
cool little mechanic i think you should expand on it more, I really liked the robot animations.
it ran too big for my window, i couldn't tell what i was supposed to do
the lack of 1:1 mouse control really frustrated me, other than that is a really great concept for a game, cartoony music really went well with the graphics! great job!
Excellently done! very polished execution of a brilliant mechanic.art and music created a very atmospheric mood.
great use of screen, created a very futile mood,well done!
Great game, the levels were a bit too ragey for me, I really loved the ability to jam along with the music as i hopped about, you should definately explore that idea further!
fun asteroids clone, liked the 3d boulders alot,
brilliant graphics and atmosphere, and awesome interpretation of theme, Very well done!
brilliantly done! very well polished and fun.I learned so much just from playing this game!
Excellent beautiful game, very fun and well polished, kinda cheaty interpretation of the theme :p rebel!
Cool concept, ran a bit too fast for me to really play it,sounds were very loud and annoying,
Fun little shooter, I enjoyed it, didn't have the chance to play 3 player but had fun with it by myself, cool mood music.
Couldn't run it. It gave me the name prompt, then when submitted game crashed
excellent graphical look, very consistent sound design. very polished.
excellent entry!
great tutorializing, though the difficulty curve did spike very quickly.
really cool node system, brilliant game idea
Music was nice and calm, couldn't get through the first door, when I full screened, it froze, and stopped responding,
Cool little game, Great choice for something on keeping it simple. art sound went together well!
Youve included this as a windows rar, though it looks like it is an html game, Just a heads up, you will definately get alot more hits, if you host it via dropbox or something, and allow your game to be played embedded
Had a hard time understanding what i was really supposed to do after I got to the planets, i read the instructions, but they didn't really make much sense to me.
Really cool concept!
Had a similar idea, but i went with something else,
Congrat on completing it,
Sound is a bit grating,
Great Job!
Beautiful Presentation!
Brilliant to look at, great to listen to,
but a bit difficult to understand,
Looks like a great game!
Hmm I don't know if it was interesting or not, I was mostly confused, hard to tell what you were setting out to make, the walking animation on the guy was really smooth, and there was some great art, looking forward to see if you continue with it,
Love the music,
bit hard for me on laptop touch pad, great graphics tho
could not figure out the mechanic to get past the first puzzle.
Is there a game here? Link to an empty github,
Looks like it would be alot of fun!
I drove around for a bit and shot up some ships, couldn't figure out how to get missions, or land on other planets tho, very cool game
Could not run properly, crashed in windows8
Interesting effort, I'd suggest changing the text to another color, ad it blended with the background and was a bit hard to read.
Interesing and fun, would be great with touch on mobile,
Alot harder than i thought it'd be lol, either that or i'm stupider than i thought.
I enjoye it, and it got addictive and frustrating quickly :) great use of the theme, the russian roulette, was a very interesting touch!
unfortunately my crappy laptops graphics card couldn't handle the graphics, and made everything look just like crazy neon worms, i still could kinda play, but there was just infinite amounts of everything, great concept tho!
Scratch is really fun, i played around with it for awhile, awhile ago, it's really easy to use Android AppInventor after learning it as well. Cool game, A little too violent for me, but thats just a personal thing.
Was alot of fun, perhaps the food needs to be consumed, as it was far too easy to just mate the hell outta the kittens, and have an overpowered super strong cat from right off the bat, great concept though, really enjoyed it, with a bit of polish and balancing it could be really great.
Well Done, I particularly enjoyed the platformer section. Excellent use of theme!
good start, I think you could make it into something great with some more time and polish! I personally didn't like the music, but thats just a personal thing
very very interesting, I like how you used game mechanics to present your artistic story, opens my mind a bit more to the endless possibilities games can be. Well done sir.
Looks likee you guys learned a bunch in a short amount of time, that's always my favorite part of game jams! solid effort, could be something really cool with some work, i think robots would be characters to control with your control scheme.
fun little game appreciate the concern for the players time. Funny concept, really well presented. great job man
great start to a game! kinda funny mine is kind of similar but different.
a great start, Im really looking forward to see how this game evolves!
definately one of the best i've seen yet! your protein mechanic was very clever, also very polished all around. Well done.
definately one of the best games I've seen so far! your concept was excellently implemented, and very well thought out, really enjoyed your game!
Your graphics style was excellent!, and your sound sounded professional, the controls were a little hard for me.
very good and interesting interpretation of the theme!, really cool mechanic, everything looked and felt great, professional quality sound and graphics, excellent job!
Enjoyed it, could be something really great with some time and polished, dug the old school in 3d feel, also the dark caverns, with music provided a strong spooky atmosphere, well done!
Though i don't understand what it had to do with the theme, it was a cool little graphics, / mechanic demo, that was very impressive and alot of fun to play with.
didnt scale right on my browse, also controls were a bit awkward. cool and funny interpretation of theme.
Fun little game, really cool little twist on a classic. the quote selection was really good too.
very interesting mechanic, could not get my self to avoid evolution lol. well implemented!
Extremely well done! really enjoyed the sim city basic mechanic, distilled down to a tiny little window, Excellent job!
artistic, beautiful, and relaxing, you really captured a great mood here very atmospheric!
Well done game man, really had alot of fun playing it thru, made it to wave 9, really impressive what people are capable of in 3 days. the graphics were excellent, and your mechanic was executed flawlessly.
Really enjoyed your game man, the procedural random level generation was awesome, really lookin forward to checkin out yer source!
wow that looks incredible! amazing example of what construct2 is capable of, man you learned those new shaders quick!
Well done man,I like how you used your time to focus on content, and I really enjoyed the use of simple graphics, it gave it a cool atmosphere. definately look forward to see where it goes from here.
Really Excellent mechanic, and I think you have the beginnings, of something really cool here, I think the controls would be awesome on a gamepad, and you could do some really interesting things. Great use of theme, i really look forward to checkin out your source.

I think the bulk of this games gameplay is shock value, and a little bit of a joke rather then a game, Ha Ha, funny, you could have spent time making something awesome, but you did make me laugh.
An Excellent mechanic, the way you teach by doing in the first few levels is inspired. Your graphics and sounds were very excellent, and polished, and the mechanics were cool and fun. i got stuck on the first unicorn mutation, i could figure out the logic of it, just couldnt get the timing done. all in all, I think you could really make something excellent out of this with a bit of time, it feels like it has been built for touch controls which is an excellent idea!
Hey man, cool level design, unfortunately i had too hard of a time getting past the first two jumps lol, lookin forward to checkin out your source tho, i think if maybe you scaled the viewpoint down so you could see a smaller piece of the level, it would give the level a bit more of a sense of depth,
The way it opens up is brilliant, the way you create that learn by playing, Aha! feeling is great, and i really think you did an excellent job interpreting the theme. As each successive power up came more innovative abilities, and the game mechanic is extremely well done, and innovative, I think you've got the beginnings of a really cool project here, and I think you could really make something cool out of it with some time and polish. Well done man!
-@Zakchaos
Enjoyed your game for a few minutes man, You have a great consistent art style, and a very cool control scheme there man. I think that adding Story text, as well as varying backgrounds could make your game engaging, and very fun!
thanks for makin this cool little game, def gives me lots of ideas!
-@Zakchaos
I had alot of fun playing with this little sandbox, or should I say flower-box kind of game. It's a really cool prototype that has lot's of potential for fun, but i had a bit of trouble understanding the breeding of the plants, and could have used a little more instruction. Really looking forward to future versions, please keep me updated!

I really enjoyed the gameplay with unlcoking m and the radar mechanic was really well implemented, the movement did add to frustration, but very well designed, and the limited pallete really kept goals clear. very great presentation!

really enjoyable!! gave me memories of command and conquer! enjoyed scouting and destroying enemies, some more diff enemy types and upgrade could be really cool if you decide to work on this game over time. I look forward to seeing if you build more onto this!

Really great level design, implemented the mechanic well! Loved the little breather level the most was a nice touch. i think you have a really cool engine to explore this and add new objects modularly over time. really impressive! would love to see it develop to have 40 levels!

I really like the consistent art style, has a really cool feel. perhaps some feedback on screen to show how numbers buy upgrades would help, i could see this evolving into something really fun.

I really love the art style, and though i think could be a little less blurry, it is really inspiring! I enjoyed the maze, but would get confused if i was inside or outside of certain walls? maybe this is part of the genius of the design, Excellent job! I look forward to seeing what else you come up with!

wow was amazed with the feel and view, i didn't know something like this could exist in the browser, Really incredible... It honestly felt so real and scary that I couldn't keep playing it, but I am very impressed!
Kittenbaticorn by UkuleleFury 2026-04-22T06:02:26Z ♥ 1
Amazing! My biggest complaint was i couldnt see enough of your beautiful pixel art, this likely due to constraints of main mechanic. Very creative, and hillarious! with a bit of story, this could be something even more special than it already is, enjoyed atmosphere, and music felt like it belonged. great job, I look forward to checking out your other games!

Nice sound and mood, i would have liked some asteroids style momentum, but it was fun driving around and activating buoys, had a really great atmosphere, and could see this extended maybe some more story would make it more interesting?

beautifully designed, and loved the feel, i like to think i have quick reflexes, but after 2 failures, i was frustrated and had to give up, id only ask to make it a little more forgiving, excellent concept! reminds me of kiryby minigame.
Taos Research Project by YogurtTheHorse 2026-04-21T06:08:33Z ♥ 1
I enjoyed for a good 5 minutes before i got bored, Excellent visual design / UI , it did take me a little while to understand i was purchasing new things, great immersive audio, and very cool concept utilizing theme!
Heisty Heist by MashedPotato 2026-04-21T05:56:14Z ♥ 2
I enjoyed it! Id reccomend clamping player movement so they cant go off screen, and ran into a glitch when i put signs to close together, maybe a way to remove signs? really cool concept, i think you could build this into something really interesting!

Had good bit of fun with this, Really cool art style and feel, I see a lot of potential to grow on with different card types. the look and feel was really consistent with the music, this is something not always easy to get right, Great job!
freq by yeaeun 2026-04-20T05:37:22Z ♥ 0
Had fun time with this, I think my one suggestion would be simple animations for player, even 2 frame animations can help to make it feel more alive. I hope you had fun creating this! It was fun to play!
Catching the Signal by MeeRebane 2026-04-20T05:33:48Z ♥ 2
I was having a blast crashing repeatedly and exploding with first 10 seconds, very cool concept, and very tricky controls, I think could be some more gentle challenges between first and second level, but I think you have a really great concept, awesome lobster art!
EXOSIGNAL by Catalry 2026-04-20T05:26:03Z ♥ 1
Enjoyed it Very polished feel, I liked the messages you received and was fun to think of how this is something that has to be done by scientist. Really cool concept, I dont think i fully understand the frequencies shapes, and just kinda goofed with sliders until i could decode each to get to the next. Beautiful interface, and excellent sound design!
