I liked the concept, good game!
Great graphics and very fun.
I died two times and then I fell off the screen! but it's a funny game :D
The randomly generated levels didn't offer any real challenge, but it's very fun to play and I beat it to the end :D
Very funny!
It is fun, but gets challenging fast.
Very good...
I really liked it, very interesting idea!
Pretty good game! So much fun!
Nice mood and resources, but it is so short and has some bugs...
It is very simple, yet challenging and makes me want to play again!
Wow, nice retro graphics and gameplay, I love it!
Nice for a first game.
I really liked it, it's pretty addictive :) but I got an evolution wrong and couldn't get past level 4..
Good job, so funny!
I like it it's very colourful :)
Very, very fun and nice graphics!
This game is perfect! It's so addictive and fun!
I wish this would be finished! Very nice
I absolutely adore this! Great game and so cute!
well, it was as hard as NES game :P I liked the graphics, but the gameplay didn't really fit! Greetings from another portuguese!
Ahaha very nice! the controls weren't so good, but that didn't made it less fun! I found the easter egg.
It's not really fun to play, but nice graphics!
Good job!
Ahaha so simple, yet so fun!! Nice game!
Very fun to play!
Very funny :D
Great visual idea... And it's fun to play.
So nice! Good job!
Very hard but I finished!
Wow! This is now my favorite Ludum game! It plays perfect and it's very original!
Very fun and great ideia!
Very good!
Nice, I really had fun beating it.
This is excellent, I loved it so much! Very humorous story and clever ending!! Could use better graphics tough, I hope you enhance it :)
77 treasure! Great game!
This was amazing, I loved it! Perfect game!
I tried the compo version, so I had a bit trouble making through it (lag, bad colisions) but it was worth it!
I liked it, altough it was weird, it was very fun!
Thank you so much everyone! :D
I really don't know why you like the music so much, it clearly shows that I had no idea what I was doing when creating it! ahah I'm no musician, but I like to create different things.
@nseward - With physics, it would end up a very different game, and more difficult, I think, but that was my first idea. I thought that the mechanics like this I would be able to create more amusing levels.
@Beerman - Your comment really made me laugh! Everytime I create a game it ends up being super hard for most of the people.
As a lot of people are "complaining" about the difficult, I feel inclined to create a trailer video for the game so you can see how I play it. It feels super simple to me, even tough I'm still struggling to get 0 deaths in every level :P I think it just needs to grow on you, it needs a lot of practice. Thank you once again!
@michail - It isn't supposed to be realistic, I just called them black holes out of nothing ahah.
@binarygirl - Well, it looks like it isn't just you :P
@JohnnySix - No, just me trying to come up with something that looks like "music", eheh, but nice reference!
Thank you everyone once again!
Hey, those are some really nice comments, really helpfull and inspiring :) thank you everyone!
I will take your experiences in consideration when remaking and porting this to mobile, which is a thing I have in mind, but don't have the time just yet... Glad I didn't do it right away, you all have been helping me make this more enjoyable :D
Very innovative, but a bit weird, I lost myself pretty quickly xD Still I love the concept
Ahah it looks alot like mine :P Very nice, altough the platforming is a bit buggy, and a button was stuck between four blocks!
Great idea :)
Amazingly polished!! The gameplay is just addictive and the music... too awesome :o
I really liked the particle effects! Smooth controls make it fun to play.
I loved it! The colors and shapes are amazing, it really has a nice mood! Really nice!
Really hard, but addictive!
I really like the idea, well done :D
This really proves that even the most boring game idea can be made good!
I loved it, very artistic :)
I really liked how I got involved in such an intense story all of a sudden, and to discover what was going on, and why was I so important. The simplistic and abstract graphics are not for my taste, but I think it has an excellent ambient to tell the story. Hope to see it complete soon!
Very funny!
This is amazing!! Very well done :)
Really simple, but nice
Very addictive, even tough I can't last very long. Nice game!
Please expand this, it's only fun for a little while!
Ahaha very artsy, I like it!
Woah, really hard but addictive :o
Awesome game, very well polished!
I really enjoyed it, it has a very good mood. I couldn't help everyone, tough...
I really liked how fast-paced the game would turn, and the music too!! It's really fun, but at first I was lost on what to do in each mini-game, and sometimes the game changed too fast in the first parts.
Very nice, I loved it, but only saved 3 potatoes :( And there are a lot of effects on the screen and the character moves too fast, making it hard!
Very nice, I liked the pixel art, even tough the sword slash looks very tiny! I didn't really felt I needed to use the slash and slide, but it's very fun!
This is great, very unique :)
Good idea, tough I lost very fast!
Great entry! I really enjoyed beating it!
So original, I loved it! Not really a game, but it's fun to interact with :) I lost because of a station that was outside of the view!
Really scary! ahah I love the effect on the objects and walls!
Ahaha very humorous story! I really liked how it felt like a game within a story. I think you could change the sound of meditating to a more peacefull sound, as it doesn't feel like it with that annoying sound when you press 'e'!!
Awesome :P I made the perfect crime!
Wow, amazingly polished, but too hard :P
This is excellent! It looks alot like my game, but way harder xD
Simply amazing...
Very fun story!!
Love the graphics :)
It lacks better physics so the bouncing gets more enjoyable, and diferent level design so you won't win just by pressing right... Still a good ideia.
Simple idea, but really fun to play! Great game!
Very funny and innovative!
Great idea, but a bit confusing at first. I really liked the relaxing sounds, tough it really breaks that mood when you loose x)
How do you control it? I just seem to be going up and down the stairs, no matter what key I press...
It's like a puzzle adventure! I couldn't beat the third level, but the gameplay is very addictive, well done!
Amazing, I love your graphics :P the only problem is that it has really nothing to do with the theme..
Awesome, loved it.
The mouse tracking is very misleading to the controls! I loved the happy music and the vibrant colored graphics, but I died too easily!
Very smooth, nice job!
This looks like a real NES game, I love it :)
Great game! But there was really no point in choosing to return, I think. Also, I'm missing 7 green things, where are they? And cool boss, but too short (Well, like the game ahah)
It's amazing I loved it! The only thing I didn't like is how the camera makes me dizzy when I move the swarm very fast, so it gets pretty hard when there are a lot of predators. I was very far from reaching the goal! Great game tough!
Nice, great game!
So awesome, I love the animations, but the game itself is kind of confusing!
Very solid game and very fun :)
I really liked it, but I don't know what to do in part 3.. Wish I could see it all, though, it looks like a fun experience :P
Amazing, very well done :D
I can't wait to see a complete version of this! Also, I got a bug the first time I played and the queen just jumped over the ledge xD So I was a bit confused on what happened.
Thank you all! I uploaded a new version because I forgot to add a harder progression through the levels. The fire now spreads faster for every floor you complete!
@N0_Named_Guy Yeah, maybe you could just go upstairs if you put out all the fire! But it would be hard because of the random levels and how in the later levels the fire spreads very fast.
@jaj Buckets are as rare as cats and first aid kits.
Thank you for your comments.
Thanks for your comments!
Amber : I have no idea what that could be...
Rodrigo Robles: I can't port it, sorry :(
So cute, excellent entry.
Deep game and great mechanics, one of the best I've played so far.
Too short, but nice idea :)
I liked it, but I couldn't find how to finish the game..
This is amazing! xD But what is the story?? Get pubes to get out?? Why are there doors if they kill you??
Awesome entry! I liked it a lot.
This was amazing, please do more levels :D
I don't know why people think it's hard, I completed it really fast! Excellent game, loved everything in it!
Thi was perfect, amazing pixel art! I was a bit confused with the controls at first but after my 5th try I made it :)
This was perfect, amazing pixel art! I was a bit confused with the controls at first but after my 5th try I made it :) I couldn't tell a diference between fish colors tough.
Really nice! Good job!
Great concept, but too short and hard to move around!
At first I tought it was a kids game(not the 10 seconds part :P), but then it got really hard xD Good job, nice humor.
This was great, a bit difficult but I completed it :D Great work!
Very interesting, but quite buggy.. I couldn't get past the second zone.
Cool looking game, but it didn't seem to have a goal :P Love the dirty look of the graphics and the crazy action!
Ahah I love the dialoges. I had a problema, when I tried to jump on the green car I fell through the floor and I couldn't do nothing after that :(
I didn't really find it fun to play, but it has amazing graphics and music :D
You were right about being addictive and what a simple idea! Got 19920 after some tries.
Too frustrating xD I think it could be a bit tighter on the controls and the level design made easier. Anyway, nice idea and great game. Hail roboticus!
Amazing story and game!
Great and fun idea :)
Amazing idea, awesome entry :)
Man, I loved the idea, so original take on the theme, but I got super frustrated when I was only one move away from finishing xD
Love it! The boss is really hard.
Very nice!
Very nice, love the graphics.
I love how it is so fast paced, good game.
I like it, but it seems impossible to figure out the enemy pattern, which makes it harder but more challenging and addictive :)
Very nice, the names were pretty funny. One of the kittens was inside a bomb tough :(
This is super cute, but could have more gameplay and be more focused on the theme. Congratulations
What? xD the ending killed me!
Wow, really exciting gameplay :D Love the NES style, even tough I didn't liked how it was blurry...
Very fun to play and well built :D
Great game as always! I had the same idea when I started the compo, but I could never deliver it as beautifully as you did! My only complaint is in the ending, was kind of anti-climatic.
Excellent, I love the graphics, but the platforming could be better.
The particles and the controls were very annoying :( I couldn't see what I was doing and the platforming was hard because the wall jump slowed me a lot. Anywhay, it's very well built and desserves a high ranking.
So cool :D But too slow, it kills the mood.
I can't tell you great this is ;_; I hope you add sound. It's really addictive.
Good job, got to level 21. Very addictive.
Amazing, altough cheap at some places! Very well done.
Amazing, this fills like a full game, congratulations on the execution, everyhting is beatufill, from sound to graphics and level design ;)
Great mood you set there, I recommend everyone to play this...
The idea was pretty cool, I would like to see a finished version of this!
Cool idea ;) The controls were confusing at first but then I got used to it and could complete it easily!
@jugglerrob - Wow, you beat me xD Updated description with controls.
@tehryanx - Thank you for playing :)
Thank you all for giving it a try :D I uploaded a new version that fixed a bug in the highscore system. Meanwhile, i'll try to port it and create a post-compo version with sound.
@JimmyBoh - Yeah, that would make more sense! Maybe I will change that in the future..
@Ellian - Thanks! Glad you had fun with it.
I updated with a web port!
Perfect game! The level design was somewhat chaotic at first, but when I got used to it, it was pretty fun adventure, I'm glad I could complete it. I was surprised to find that underground world, I first tought it was a secret! And there was a strange hole near the key to the reflection, why?
Oh cool :) can't wait to play the full version! I found alot of places where you could go but were super hard to pass! This already feels like a complete game tough :P
Ahaha loved the ending, and nice boss fight :D
Love the aesthetics, good job.
Ahaha so much cuteness! Great :P
This felt like cookie clicker xD (There was even a cookie there!!) Strangely I couldn't stop, but I could only reach the polar bear dog, which I think it's a reference to Legend of Korra? :P
Great mood, but I got a little disappointed in the end! Enjoyable experience nonetheless ;)
It was a good ideia, but the controls were hard! I only got to 750m before the dot started spinning like crazy!!
Kinda slow, but it has potential ^^
Good entry, tough I would like to see more gameplay in this.
The only real challenge were the controls and the views.. Would like to have completed the first level xD
I can't believe you are only 12, this is amazing! Good job, completed with 14 deaths.
I was expecting more from this, but it was pretty cool :)
Very simple but cool concept.
It's funny how the waves get enormous after an explosion xD Nice way to fire the charges!
Really challenging and engaging gameplay despite the presentation. I tried to collect them all but it wasn't easy! I like how you colide with the treasure so you can't be greedy or you can't return to the surface in time!
I loved the presentation but the game itself was very simple and filled with weird bugs, like willy appearing inside the blocks or sliding away after reaching martha.
Please fix the game, this looks awesome!!
Super creepy!!
I only got to level 10, but I enjoyed it a lot, good job!
Very innovative and well executed. I couldn't get far, but you had me playing for a lot of time, thank you!
Great mechanics and mood :)
Very well polished! Altough quite simple, it's really fun and kept me to a point where I couldn't find any more fish...
That was amazing! Once you finish it will definitely be more fun, good job!
Wow, I finally completed, thanks for making this great puzzle :)
I can't believe this, this was so creepy in it's cute graphics and the happy dog narrative, the ending made me cringe, this was awesome, thank you for this!!
My game is about a dolphin too!! x)
Good job, it was fun swimming around for fishes but it gets boring after a while because there is nothing else to do, like enemies to avoid.. I like how the fish get bigger the deeper you swim!
Cute graphics and awesome sounds :) At first I didn't understand some of the mechanics but after some tries I got the hang of it :P
Great idea! I couldn't get to a second ending tough!
Well, since you replied to me in my post I'll continue here :P How the hell do you beat a monster with 100hp?? They can only evolve to level 4, and whatever I do after that doesn't seem to change more.
Ahah very nice game, it's fun to control the giant dinossaur through the city! It is kind of hard to deliver the pizzas, because the buildings to deliver aren't very visible.
Thank you everyone! I dind't had any time to test it, so I believe it can be near impossible to beat it, but I promise the ending is worth it. Glad to know some of you got pretty far! Thank you for reporting bugs and other things.
@Gaius Baltar you can also shoot with C.
Hey everyone, I found out that it was impossible to beat the second level as you don't have any cards to open the doors. I uploaded a new version that you can now complete. I also made that whenever you die, instead of reseting the game it now restarts from the room you died. There are only 3 rooms. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for the nice comments :)
Sorry if you get stuck on the title screen, you actually have to press the interact button (X) to proceed. I didn't had time to had any instructions or anything, sorry!
As for mouse controls, there are a lot of you who would prefer that way. I prefer the keyboard controls as I'm not a big fan of FPS myself, I just decided to go with this genre because it suited the story and decided to change it to my own liking.
@BNeutral congratulations for making it the end, glad it was worth it ;)
Everyone have fun!
This is genius! Poor ramen man. At first he ate more than me but then I ate more than him >:)
Ahah very cut audio and graphics :) It was a bit hard scaring the girl but I did it!
I found the bat :D it was kinda hard to know what was light or not, I died a couple times forgetting that I shouldn't walk in front of windows.
This is my highest voted game until now. It's just so beautiful! The controls were great, I really felt the freedom of movement like a predator bird, and the wind carrying me under my wings. And the flute joining it was great. Congratulations on the great game!
For some reason I can't visit your profile page, I really need to bookmark you :)
Nice take on the theme, only the levels don't have much variety!
This was perfect! I gave up after reaching the calculady, it's annoying to start everything over :(
Very funny take on the theme ahah. I found it too difficult to avoid the pokeballs but I completed the 3 levels, even without most of the stars! Good job!
Damn, that pixel art is beautifull. Very cool game, kinda hard to move in sync to the beat, but it was pretty fun :P I got to the end but my bar wasn't full. Does it have a better ending when I fill the bar?
Ahah the ending was a cheesy! Cool game
I really like the colors, but the final screen seems so much different than the rest! I was not sure on how to stomp on the people, as sometimes they passed through me. But nice work!
This was so fun ahah I could only reach level 5! One thing that bothered me is that the monster got stuck on the walls to the side, they should be smooth!
Ahah it's so funny to control the UFO by bouncing it. You should have created more levels around that, the flying(especially in the last level, it's huge and has tons of block blocking you) is not as fun.
I finished it and I loved it, my only complain is that the audio is annoying..
Ahah this is hilarious!
Excellent game, I can't believe you did it all by yourself!
I can't believe this was made in 72h! I got a bug on the room with all the square turrets, the pipe stopped moving. In my last try I finished in 5 min with all hearts. It was super fun.
Can you please publish the source? I would like to learn how to do all these pretty effects in Game Maker :) thank you!
Thanks everyone :)
I will upload a post-compo version with a new mechanic, two new enemies and more balanced weapons. The sword guy is a bit too OP compared to the others, so I will make the others stronger too. But in the other hand, if one of your character dies, you can't use him anymore, so this will allow for a more defensive style of gameplay.
@steph88, sure, will do it.
Very cool idea, but you can't really guess without hints! You should make the player learn which glyph was which letter.
I can't believe how you put so many fun and intelligent content in a 42h game! The ending was cute and the puzzles were brilliant. I loved it. You are a serious game jam man :D
Sometimes it felt confusing on where I was supposed to go, but I guess that makes part of the difficult of finding your friends. I would love to know your process on how you create such interesting level and puzzle design.
It felt kind of slow and the spear felt kind of useless because the enemies were so fast! Anyway, I liked navigating the levels, the environment was cool.
Wow, the amount of polish is amazing. I really got addicted to this, good job!
Ok, at first I had no idea what was going on, the controls were confusing! But when I finally understood what I had to do, it actually became quite fun! It was a little stressful managing the tiles, it felt hard to drain all the water when I had 99 blocks of it. I had a lot of fun building stuff. I got a score of 4 on my last try. Good job!
