Hey, really cool game, I'd like to say! One of the best ones from the about 20-30 games I've already tested and rated on this LD.
PS You've left a comment my game was crashing, can you please try it again? I've added a missing dll into archive and now it seems to work! Thanks!
Great job! The first game I really enjoyed while testing all the entries during this Ludum Dare.
Wow! I was actually looking for some kind of an art-game and I've finally found it. Thank you :)
Cool, like it! Especially the intro and the genre :)
It appears to me that wave 13 is too hard, because before that I didn't pass anyone and on the 13th wave I've passed about 8-10 of potential Darwin killers...
Really fun intro story and pretty art!
Yet I didn't get how to pass the first screen. And how to shoot upwards. I'm on Mac + Google Chrome and Ctrl + Up does nothing.
Anyhow, good job.
Really like the synth pad sound. And the color theme.
Yet I didn't succeed much so I doubt whether it's truly evolving later or not, I hope it does! :)
Very interesting gardening experience, thanks!
Actually I like season changing, that orange autumn background makes me nostalgic :)
Was really hoping to see someone else using cocos2d :)
Basically the game is too hard for me. I've played for about two minutes and succeeded hitting those headless men only twice. Maybe making it a bit slower should be a good move.
Good start! Here're my thoughts:
1. Game of life itself is very beautiful when you watch it evolving and in your game you don't give player a chance to get an overall picture of it. I think a minimap could have been a very good addition both to playability and fun.
2. I think making it a bit faster could have made it more fun. Yet you should make cube destroyable in a smaller amount of time too.
Hope this helps )
Nice concept and TRONish graphics. Audio is at the right place too. Altough physics and mechanics are a bit buggy. Hope you'll fix it, I love 3D platformers :)
Well done!
Really cute graphics and shrinking mechanic.
Although I'd suggest to make a game a bit more competitive, because for endless game like this it's very important to be tense, otherwise the player becomes bored. But if you challenge him with short sessions — he doesn't.
Thank you! Basically it's about the nightmare evolving in the sense of speeding up :)
Thanks for all your comments, guys, really appreciate it! The main purpose of this game was to test this relatively new flashing mechanic, yes.
For those who didn't succeed launching the game, please try again, I've updated the archive to include the missing dll file, hope it should work now :)
Nothing to deal with "Evolution" theme but fun after all!
Reminded me of Quake maps for tricks :)
Nice little game!
Yet sounds are a bit annoying, try making'em not that high-pitched and glitchy next time, please :)
Looks really nice, but a bit hard for me. I wasn't capable of passing three dinosaurs on screen at the same time :)
I don't get what's going on, but it's really fun fun to watch )
Please add some 8bit music!
Wow, really surprising genre choose! Good job!
Good start!
My advice is always to add background music and sounds. SFXR + freemusicarchive should definitely make any game without audio much much more appealing. Even when the sound doesn't match very well )
Sorry, but I don't really get how to play it. I've honestly spent about 3 minutes trying to figure it. My suggestion is to give a hint to the player, at least a text one in game or in desctiption.
And another suggestion is to choose more standard controls such as WSAD for example, I didn't succeed in controls with HJKL at all.
Awesome ;)
Great idea! Honestly, I didn't succeed uploading that stuff, but I've got a lot of fun trying :)
Very hard but that's not a drawback :)
Nice music and graphics indeed.
Nice idea, I think it might be interesting to play this with touch gestures.
Very hard to control this when using a touchpad, but I like the cat mechanic and the laughter energy :) good thinking!
P.S. Greetings from Omsk Ludum Dare! ;)
Very cute graphics.
Cute graphics, but I think an explosion effect for each enemy killed could have made it even better :)
The best entry I've played so far.
Nice start! I like the fact you've placed the music and the story here, because that's what people usually tend to ignore first :)
@Crimsoneer, sorry, but what version did you try?
@Crimsoneer @zedutchgandalf guys, thanks for your feedback! Can you please try it again? It seems like we've actually fixed this bug in our post-compo entry :)
@Dir3kt aha, what a coincidence! :D
@rustybroomhandle thanks for a tip, you were right about the problem :) try a post-compo version, please, it seems like we've fixed it :)
@Amoaeba Junior try a post-compo, please, it's a bit more playable now ;)
Hey everyone, thanks for your constructive feedback! That's actually the main reason why I love LD community so much :)
@mcc wow, thanks for such a detailed review!
I have to admit that in this case a hard to control character was done so on purpose, but in a compo version there's a bug that made it too uncontrollable on modern computers, but some people liked it :)
A dominant strategy exists, but not the one you've mentioned, that one is a bug actually :)
Those badges display how much of the bonus you have left, a percentage.
As for Duck Sauce question, a sample only I guess, the track was composed in several hours on Saturday night exclusively for LD :)
Very neat graphics and sound.
I was a bit scared of those running mobs but they actually are harmless, that was a surprise for me :)
Controls are a bit awkward but the art is brilliant, I love both music and graphics.
Nice worlds switching idea! But I personally find accelerating a bit awkward, maybe it's better to make him running at a constant speed? :)
Good job, a really well polished entry, and I like your sense of humor, guys!
P.S. Ha, the title of the game looks a bit similar to ours :)
Good job! And very cool bullet holes effect, I like it! :)
A bit awkward because of controls (which are pretty hard to make cool in platformers, I know), but the music, graphics and atmospehere are perfect :)
Played the Web version. Performance is awful, but the destruction model is pretty nice, liked it.
Old-school gameplay + neat graphics = perfect combo :) good job
Wow, had exactly the same idea! :) good job for getting it up and running
Very nice graphics and sound. Especially the background.
Yet it's stuttering on my Mac and eventually crashes after 5-10 seconds of play :(
Awesome concept. Please make a full game out from it :)
A bit tough to play when using a touchpad, but I liked the story :)
Brilliant. The most polished entry I've seen so far.
Controls are really tough. I suggest it's better to polish controls first in an action game, because awkward controls make almost any game, even the best ones, kind of worse then they actually are :)
That's really hard to find such a polished game done within 48 hours. Great job!
Sorry, but I don't get what to do here :(
I've approached the eye, then made a couple of steps on the platform and after that the camera zoomed in heavily and I've started moving on giant psychedelic ladder back and forth and... nothing else, I even can't get back into the view – the character walks out of the camera view.
Anyway, shoegaze music's really nice and I like graphics!
I really love so called art games. Thanks for this entry :)
Awesome. Thanks for this entry.
Nice one! I've found myself playing all the levels which didn't happen with any other game I've rated yet :)
I really like that jum-on-the-policeman-head mechanic, it feels innovative :)
Pretty nice game, but it takes too long for an interesting part, I think.
Yet I love your style, good job as usual!
Brilliant
Guys, I highly advise you not to drop this little game and make it to the App Store, it'll certainly find it's audience and will earn some bucks for you :)
Great music! nice gameplay!
Great atmosphere as usual :)
Reminded me of Windosil game.
Brilliant look, guys! Gameplay is quite complex if you don't read instructions like me, but text explains a lot.
Very old-schoolish, I like it. But I didn't get the combat system, can I actually die here? :)
Why is it not working web version! Cool art!
It looks and plays just awesome!
Nice mechanic!
A horse with a sword - this masterpiece! Thank you guys for game!
Nice atmosphere! :)
Brilliant little story, cool atmospehere and minimalistic sound and graphics – I'm loving it! Even frustrating collision detection doesn't irritate too much :)
A very interesting idea! I'm straight missed the good old modem after your game! Steep concept!
Yeah, zombies are definitely cool :)
Cool concept! Liked the idea! I would like to have in the backs of cyberpunk, because the music is very fitting! We would like to note character animation!
Music is beautiful, the title screen graphics are great, I would like to see the whole game in this style!
Incredibly hard and confusing wall-jumps (so I dropped trying it on the 3rd level), but overall feeling is that you've done a great job creating several levels and tons of graphics! :)
Nice graphics, but hard gameplay
I love the retro look, but an AI would be a nice addition, post-compo maybe?
Reminds of Sounds of the Universe cover art :)
Good job :)
Btw I've managed somehow to fall through the ground in the 3rd or 4th level.
Very fun! Steve it's great
A lovely pixel art! Special thanks for beat 'em up! I want to mention it would be ideal if the camera would have been closer!
Nice idea! I think it might have been even more fun if those traces weren't disappearing, as a result it would've been looking like Pollock :)
3700! A perfect little game for several minutes, good job.
Guys smiled in the office today play it! Thank you so much! I think you have got 100 per cent in the subject, nothing more!
This is tooo hard man, I believe you can easily make it easier to appeal a larger audience. I didn't manage to complete even the first stage :( One of the main things making it difficult is the fact that opponent's projectiles almost don't differ visually from ours, so when you fire a bunch you actually can't see the important ones flying on you. Anyway I like graphics, how you did the perspective, quite unusual for this genre! :)
Perfect take on the theme, really minimalistic.
A bit hard to control but minimalistic enough :)
No audio too, Mac OSX / Chrome.
Anyway the idea of no avatar and simply the light instead seems pretty innovative.
I've laughed, great concept.
Really nice art, guys!
497 :'(
Yeah, it would've felt better with less sticky controls, but the idea is nice!
Great job as usual :)
The best game I've tried so far, man!
Fun, sounds and looks nice, nothing else to ask :)
Old-school! I like this very old-fashioned pixel-art :)
Simply the best.
Looking forward to see what's next :)
It's really hard but I enjoyed it, thanks. Was actually stuck on the 1st level for a very long time. I think "Clear all actions" button might have been extremely helpful.
Love the art :)
Good job! :) Especially liked the "F##K" moment
Pretty hardcore :) And very nice visuals and music.
Controls felt a little sticky. But the application of remote control was interesting.
Very nice atmosphere, thank you!
Nice graphics! Though it lags heavily in the browsed :(
One of the best ideas I've seen so far :) It's really hard!
Very polished visually for a jam entry. Also a nice idea, glad to see someone else touched a theme of talking to someone in 10 seconds ;)
VERY sleek, impressive job, guys :)
Man, pleeease, make intro a bit shorter :)
Maaan, I'll rate it high just because it's written in bloody assembly in 48 hours!! :)
I feel soooo dizzy! But it's cool, actually, thanks for the feeling I've never experienced playing FPS-games before :)
Awesome! I also had an idea about swimming in the cave and not drowning :)
Level 4 and 285 gold! Pretty dynamic, I like it :)
I think it would've been better if you could drag and run at the same time :)
Quite crazy, I like it :)
Really nice concept and puzzles!
Yet I was unsure before LD if it's fine to use 2d Toolkit at compo or not (it's not free at all). Still unsure to be honest.
A bit hard, but idea is brilliant :)
Nice idea and art, enjoyed it!
Not sure if all the tasks are solveable.. :)
Pretty fun, I enjoyed this click-intense action, puzzles are fine too.
Pretty rad! I would've preffered it a bit faster though. Reminded me of a good old "N" game :)
That's definitely a Russian Post! :) Good job.
That's actually really fun! Turned the whole ship into a laser and it still was fun, great :)
Beautiful!
Laughed when I've heard Grieg and saw a nuclear station :)
Nice take on a theme. Expected much more bomb-related entries, but this one is actually good.
I won in 41 seconds? In a 10 second timer?
Lasers increased the fun by a factor of 10. :D
The best, as usual :)
13 kittens! I feel good :)
Super 10 seconds Crate Box :)
Hyper furball is like a good trip! :)
Very-very slow intro but I like this innovative mechanic, thanks for the entry!
