Very nice sound and graphics. I also like the player names. Simple but cool design. Sometimes a character get stuck, but this is just a minor glitch. I would like to have more feedback which player has hit me, so I can avoid it next time. This would make it less random.
Nice Job! Well done
Hmm, doesn't really inspire me.
I got all the herbs, but would also have needed the medical supplies. Since it was not so interrersting up to there, I stopped then.
I like how you play with the sound when the black things are walking around.
Oh yes, I am the monster. I have to collect body parts to create more monsters... No the explanation says something different. But doesn't matter. Nice simple game.
Quite confusing that you need to doubleclick to start and then use the keyboard. Is this to make the game harder?
Some sound effects would be nice.
Hmm, I don't really know...
The camera is really annoying. It is almost impossible to understand what was done due to the fast moving camera. The height control is nice, but in my opinion makes it only more complicated.
Alltogether I tried some time, but didb't know how to really succeed in this game.
The music is really cool and fits to the setting.
Well done. Controls could be improved.
A little hard to understand what to do, but nice once I understood it.
But where is the monster?
Doesn't matter the music is so cool, it is really fun.
Haha really fun. Nice idea, but a bit short. Some kind of music or background noise would be nice.
Well done!
Nice idea and implementation. I don't see the direct relation to the theme, but it is fun anyway.
Altogether it is a little slow. I would like get also more feedback if I pressed the keys correctly. The difficulty level seems to be too hard for me.
Best thing is the music. This is really very well done!
Somehow interesting mechanic with the appearing ufos. But not clear what to do and what the goal of the game is. The music is nice but ends too early.
Nice Work!
Download does not work
Nicely done although I didn't find the exit it was fun to kill everybody and destroy everything. The shaky control was extra fun. It would be nice to show the score on game over screen.
I am sorry, but I do not understand what to do. I can walk around, turn at corners, walk off the map, walk through buildings after entering them, but is there a goal? Is there any feedback what was right? Is there any interaction?
Some kind of instructions would be nice.
Nice idea. some Sounds would have been a good idea. Otherwise solid implementation. Some kind of levels or waves would have been interesting.
Cool idea and nice implementation whith the nice graphics and animations. A goal for the level more than survive would be nice.
Interesting physics simulation. Ist there a game too? I was so busy controlling the cup, I din't realize.
Cool well made puzzle game. You really thought about an interesting mechanics. I like it very much. Music is also nice
Does not work with firefox.
Ok, this has some flaws:
-It is very tiny. Hard to see and even harder to click. Is this to make it harder?
-Why do I need to use mouse and keyboard?
-Why is it so hard? This feels like starting in the last level.
Nice idea, but no fun for me.
Doesn't work in firefox. Ok, played in chrome
The Music is very cool I love it.
I survived 3 Days. Not too got. Since there was no button to restart I listened to the nice music.
Strange that you opted out on the music...
Ok, this was interesting. I took very long to understand the controls since they are not explained. Seems to be a bit random when somebody appears. Also how far away you have to stay from the policemen. Music is cool.
The idea is also cool, but the implementation seems to be unfinished. It is possible to leave the playfield, controls should be explained.
Fantastic graphics and incredible sound. I want to give you 6 Stars for the sound, but you opted out for audio? Why???
I also like all the details and all the little spears flying around. This is really cool. For Gameplay I am no so enthusiastic. Something is missing like a goal for the level. Or a target to destroy. The endless flying mode is not motivating enough.
What a strange perspective. Cool graphics. Gameplay could be more straight forward. Or at least some instructions what is good and what not.
Nice game. However I don't see how this is related to the theme. Okay in a abstact way somehow...
Very cool music full of variety. I would like to advance automatically to the next level and don't get the level select in between. I also don't really see too much of a progress through the levels. Maybe I haven't completely understood the scoring...
What a strange Idea, I liked the story, but the gameplay could be enriched by more choices for the player.
Well done.
Oh local multiplayer is cool. Nice game. The sounds are a little bit annoying
Haha cool. They can't do anything against you. Well done. Also graphics and sound
Good implementation of the well known theme. What I miss is:
-Sounds (Try bfxr)
-Music
-Some indication in game what the costs of the orcs/imps/barracs are.
-Some kind of challenge. Is it possible to loose?
Not my type of game. Seems to be unsolvable since there are still 15 Faries left when nothing can be seen on the screen.
I am the monster. This game fits it perfectly. Some sound or music would have been nice
Looks good. I cannot rate it since I have no second player.
Cool clicker game with funny story and nice graphics and sound. I didn't find any further upgrades or any hint for a goal to reach.
Nice athmosphere and funny graphics, but not so clear how to proceed. I tried to solve the jumping parts, but since I am not a very experienced platformer specialist I kept falling down more than 10 times in lab 0. Ok, not my type of game. The controls should be more forgiving in my opinion. But maybe this is exactly the challenge of the game. I don't know.
The texts of the dialogs are sometimes too big to fit on the screen. This is strange.
Uups...
That was not expected. Well done! Techncially also very good.
What a noisy game. This is a lot of fun with all the cool sounds. I like the recharging mechanism. Technically very well done.
Interesting concept. I am not sure what my 'playing' did to the story, but made very cool. Sometimes the music is too loud to understand the voice.
Very cool story and nice graphics and music. I was annoyed at first that you have to jump pixel-precise which is absolute annoying, but after playing a while it was quite fun and addictive. Very well done!
Cool idea, but very slow start. You have to kill too many slimes to advance. Balancing seems to be hard.
Technically it is very well done.
Nice idea. Took me some time to understand the gameplay, but it works somehow.
Nice drumtrack
Controls are totally wierd. It is not possible to jump accurately. This is a no-go for a jump-and-run game in my opinion.
Cool idea. It takes some time to get used to control both arms at the same time. Nice graphics and nice music. Well done.
Very sad, but true. Cool retro style and cool 8bit music.
This is a really good idea: Reverse tower defense. At first it feels weird, but then it is fun to find our how to pass the levels. Unfortunately I didn't find any good tactics except clicking as fast as possible and trying to send all fanatics to the same spot.
Would be interesting to see if there are other tactics as well.
Haha very funny. This is a good typing trainer. I love the idea and the cool implementation. It is a little hard in the last level.
Very funny game also the sound effects are very cool.
Some feedback when the colour changes would be nice in advance. I usually press lots of keys at the same time, and get them with the old colour in the stomach.
Nice idea, but sometimes not clear why my shoots dissappear in the middle of the screen.
The upgrade shop is well done, but you are already very strong at the beginning.
Some kind of music would be nice.
Cool idea, but gets harder exponentially which makes it impossible to get post the 3 policemen phase.
The music gets boring very soon, but at least there is music.
Well done, works fine. Unfortunately chrome didn't seem to support the engine somehow, but works fine in firefox.
Very cool. I like the synth sounds. You can also play chords with this instrument. Unfortunately my keyboard does not support to press all keys at once.
Cool graphics with the swinging tentacles and the subtle hints
I will follow you master and give you a good score.
Haha, this one is funny. Especially the story and the explanation of the graphics. The game is fun for a short time, but gets boring fast. It is not clear if there is a goal to reach.
I press space and the browser scrolls down. Afterwards it freezes!
Very cool and funny with the jumping characters. Which have also names which gives them some sort of character. I had fun to play through and was defeated.
I am not so sure about the theme... But somehow it makes sense.
The second time I did succeed.
Took me a while to interpret the feedback. Nicely done, but not very interesting to play for a longer time.
Cool Idea. Was fun to play through.
Well done!
Very cool idea and nice implemented. I got 3100 points.
I like it
Nice intro, but I don't want to see the same intro each time I want to play.
I am sorry, but I did not understand hot this is supposed to work. I can open the closet, and then the game ends? Is this correct?
Huh strange! But very well done. The balancing in the other world is strange... I had a lot of fun. Good music and sound effects
Nice story. I enjoyed to experience the story.
Good Work
Cool idea. But a little bit too hard for me since the controls are not fast enough. Unfortunately no other players where areound, but the idea of a multiplayer game is cool.
Greetings to the RZL
Nice sound and graphics effects. Cool polished game well done!
Very polished and complex game. Well done.
Nice Graphics and cool idea, but I was not sure how it works. I got the best results by smashing rhytmically on the number keys. I have no clue how this really should work. Then I walked around and fell through the ground.
Surely a nice idea, but the implementation lacks clarity and game mechanics.
Very good work. I played 39 years and liked every detail. Especially the graphics and sound which reminds me of the old Commodore 64 games.
Very intuitive control and very polished. Especially the different looks of the farmers over generations.
The tools would be helpful, because once you have 4 plots, there is too much time walking around.
Fun Puzzler. Well done. Also so many well designed Levels. This is really great
Took me some time that I have to select the menu entries of the nodes.
Good implementation and nice music and sound. But I haven't fully understood what the best strategy is. I have just tried around until I reached the end.
Fun Idea. Hard to get the contol under control. But fun to play and nice drum and bass background tune. At least for the duration of the game.
Nice Idea and story. Unfortunately I got stuck on the bush and didn't want to see the story again... Sorry.
Fantastic Music and Graphics. Also very clever puzzles. Funny also the german words Schrödinger says. Unfortunately it crashed in the radio level.
Funny graphics. Although not very clear what to do. The into should be skippable
Solid implementation. Funny idea. The sound is cool, but the music a bit boring. It is pretty random if you are hit by the enemy since it is nearly impossible to dodge the fast shoots with the slow control.
Well done. I enjoyed it.
A little bit of instruction would be nice. But the game is interesting enough to find the details out on your own. I think there is a but with the additional feet(more moves). More moves are shown, but you can use them only at the start. All following rounds refill only to 3.
Fun game Thank you. Some kind of sould would be nice.
Fantastic graphics and music. A very creative interpretation of the theme. Well done. I had a lot of fun playing your game!
Very nice. I loved to explore your garden and change my form. Good idea and well implemented. Also cool and fitting sounds. I don't really see the theme in this game.
Creepy music and athmosphere. It was not completely clear what to do. I did some exploration, some Gardening, some Building, but followed no real goal...
Cool idea the perfect connection of Worlds
Nicely done, but a little bit clicky.
I think a more tactical game with less clicking would improve it even more.
Nicely done. The reputation system makes it interesting
Really cool made. Fantastic user interface idea. It must have been a lot of work to create all the audio for the game. Unfortunately I had often problems to see if the game accepted my nodding and also problems to nod correctly. I was even called a 'potato', but still enjoyed it.
Nice and relaxing music. The gameplay is a little bit strange. Is it about the correct monitor setting, or just luck to find the water reservoirs?
Nevertheless good idea and solid implementation.
Very cool rythm game. Easy to play, but no so easy to make it sound fluent. I like the ending where you can listen to the music as it should be.
Very well done!
Really cool Graphics. The music is also cool, but soon too repetitive. I played until I should get sleep, but it seems this is not implemented or does not work.
Good Work!
Nice idea with good graphics and sound. The implementation is however not so smooth. Often my workers do not do what I want them to do this makes it unneccessarily difficult. The balancing seems to be also not very polished. But good starting point. Could be a really fun game when polished up.
Cool music and good implemented controls. For me it is a little bit too abstract to be really lots of fun, but in the right mood this is probably a good puzzler.
Strange. Took me several minutes to find the depot. Overall I don't understand the gameplay. It seems to be fun with multiplayer only.
Interesting idea and cool implementation, but too difficult to be enough fun to motivate me further. The cookies just don't want to move at all which makes it frustrating. It is also not clear how much progress is needed to proceed.
The learning slope is to steep. Level 0 is of no use and level 3 is already too difficult.
Solid idea, but would need some tuning to the gameplay.
Graphics and Audio are absolutely outstanding. Very well done, a nice experience especially the details like the camera speed and mouse usage.
Oh my god. This is depressing!
Interesting idea well designed and implemented. Also good sound effects for a puzzle game.
Very cool colourful ans smooth graphics. Sound effects are also very good. Well done!
Ahh extremely well done!. First confusing, but then fantastic. Such a small level can be such difficult. I like the link to the source code. Incredible small coding for such a cool game!
Very cool idea, but too difficult. I feel that it is not so realistic that the sand at the borders has a slope towards the border. Otherwise good realistic feeling and nice idea to play just sone chords on your guitar instead of synthie-music.
I like the story and impelemtation. Seems to be a bit to realistic for me. Some sound effects would be nice
Very nice. Cool graphics and smooth gameplay. I also like the 'wuwawawa'.
A pity that is has only two levels.
Very nice ideas. I also love the stories, but seems to be broken somehow, or unclear how it works. When I level up, I don't get any stronger. I am now level 8 and cannot fight the 3 blocktopus. I would love it with sound and good balancing.
Nice idea and good graphics implementation.
I think it is a little bit bad balanced. It is more random when you discover the enemies, and you have barely time to track them down.
Cool drawings and music. Really well done. Nice idea. It took me three attempts to figure out how it is meant. After this it was easy. I didn't see too much difficulty difference in the levels, and wished more levels, but really good entry.
Nice entry, but it has severe gameplay issues:
The stock system can easily lead to a deadlock. When you have the production facility for the desired product, but the stock is full with other stuff, it is somehow broken.
The only valid strategy is to not buy a productive production room, because it may be too productive.
Either make it possible to destroy products in the storage or make it possible to shut a room down.
The rest of the game is incredible and so detailed. I love it. Overall only 4 stars due to this storage issue.
Very nice and very nice story. I like the idea very much. A few things seem to be strange (unclear for me) impmenemted:
For a bridge of three pieces I need to change the middle one only to let willy walk over it.
After a ladder the direction sometimes changes (always to the left?)
Nice idea and solid implementation, but not clear what i really have to do. There are numbers next to the objects, do they have any meaning? The controls are also extremely strange. Either you bump into the planet or fly offscreen.
Nice game. Good graphics and music. Somehow difficult after level 8 or so, since the game is missing overview. The player health is soon too low and it is too expensive to fill it up again. A little better balancing would be cool.
Due to a bug I was able to buy all tower pieces on the second attempt without spending any money.
Very nice graphics and funny sounds. The controls are however too slow to avoid the island from tipping over. Maybe keyboard or other an control sheme would be better.
Alternatively just make the island a bit slower.
Simple idea, good implementation, fitting sounds
Well done. The game has more dimensions as seen first. The drills are a little bit annoying since it is often not possible to dodge them in time. Strange is that is has no end. Even when I am directly hit by a drill I don't die. Maybe different levels would be an idea?
Very good implementation. Quite polished. I like the good tutorial. And the increasing difficulty level. Vell done!
Is there also a game? I did not understand it...
I always knew that this happens beneath the surface, but I never saw it this clear.
Nice art style and good sounds. Funny little game. Somehow a little repetitive. So maybe you could add some tactical elements (need to grow specific flowers to get the right seed color back).
In level 3 I failed (time was over), but got to level 4 anyway... The keyboard control to seed (J/K/L) needs two presses to work for the first seed.
I don't know what happens here, but something happens and leads me to explore more of this 'world'.
Sound fits good.
Nice retro style game. The graphics is cool, but probably because it is only retro-inspired. Sound fits the fast gameplay.
Very good idea and implementation. I played through all levels and even got all on the last level. Nice mechanics and solid implementation. Good work
Quite unique game loosely coupled with the theme. Fantastic graphics and nice sounds. The gameplay is also interesting for a while...
Cool Idea and graphics. Really funny.
Good work.
Solid Game with sounds, clear controls and funny effects, but the gameplay is unfortunatley not very interesting.
I heven't seen the match to the theme except: The background is blue therefore it must be beneath the water surface...
So much story in front of the game. I would rather play than read through all this text.
The control is very difficult to master.
Nice graphics, but i don't see the connection to the theme. Music and sounds are definetly missing...
Nice music and idea. Also a cool upgrade system. But the controls feel clumsy. Sometimes it is possible to mine left/right, sometimes it does not work. It is also not so clear what needs to be collected.
Funny that it is possible to see the 'sun' and stars in the tunnels.
Nice voice and music. But the game is just a retro platformer. The relation to the theme is in my opinion not soo perfect.
But nice implementation. It is instantly clear how it works.
Yeah I ate 301821 grams of food. A very hungry fish.
First I did not know which fish are good/bad, but trial and error revealed it. Nice implementation and funny swim directions possible. Slightliy different than mainstream.
Good work
Nice retro feeling. This is how the games where more than 30 year ago. Luckily the game development has evolved in the meantime. But solid work. It has the neccessary part of humor.
Oh my god, I played 3 Levels without knowing there is an undocumented subterran feature. Is this good or bad? I don't know.
After I found it accidantially, it was strange to use it. Even more difficult than not using it in my opinion.
I still don't know if this is good or not...
It doesn't work for me. Downloaded the exe file, but it immediately crashes after start on Windows 7
Very cool and Polished. Easy to understand, hard to master
Huh! very amazing game. First I liked the digging for the fossils and was proud to find some.
Then The fight started and I thought: This cannot be true, what happens here? Within some seconds I lost without understanding how it works.
Cool combination of games, but I like the first part more than the second.
Remembers me of old C=64 Games which where quite hard to master. Also the sound effects remind me of the 'good old times'. Maybe you should go also for a 'retro' style graphics... Just an idea.
Since I am not so young anymore I have not played very far because I like more forgiving games now.
This is really cool. Such a great idea and very cool implementation. The sound effect are fitting very good. Also challenging, but doable with some patience.
Nice Tower defense game. Good balancing, nice theme and graphics. Well done. Balancing seems to be very tight and challenging too.
Interesting that very fast enemies are often not hit (because they are so fast?)
The priorization where to shoot should be somehow different. Not the nearest to the tower, but the nearest to the exit or weakest should be shot first.
Nice idea and and solid implementation. Has not a too deep story but funny reference to Ludum Dare. I liked it. Nice Music
Nice idea and lots of features implemented, but hard to understand. I tried several times to attack an enemy, but even with a war hammer it was not possible to even scratch it.
This is very annoying especially since the gameplay is really slow. I selected an 'easy' level, but this seems to be not easy for me.
This is a very cool idea and good implemented, but the Game would need a tutorial to be fun from the beginning.
I read through the instructions several times before I understood what to do. It is also difficult to understand what needs to be done and what the resources are.
Some sounds would also be nice.
Keep on the good work there is a lot of potential for a good game.
Nice idea and Programming. Also cool Music
Nice Music. But the game seems to be broken. I can move my 'thing' and shoot, but only some (about5-6 or so) 'enemies' come down and that's all.
Missing / Bugged:
More than 3 Seconds of gameplay
Scores
Quit does not work
Download and start of game unneccessary complicated. A direct link instead of a download would be better.
Hmm, what should I say. The first thing I did is to jump out of the window which somehow breaks the game. Then I wandered aimless through the labyrinth, but nothing happens. No hint what to do, no interaction with the world or other stuff. I haven't understood the game.
Unfortunately the first minutes where too anoying to give the game a real chance.
Funny idea. Also fitting music. A little disapointing That you have to start from the beginning when you lost.
Sometimes it is more random if you can place the block usful.
Nice Idea and cool fitting music. Well done
Unfortunately I don't understand it. I built some subway stations and connected them, but none of the moles ever entered one. Although the mole happiness increases, I earn no money. I tired to restart several times, but no luck. The idea ist good, but I am not able to play it right.
What a cool idea! It would however be better to have clearer controls. It is almost impossible to see which action is active. Some sound effects could also support the usability.Somehow I stuck in the third level without any energy left. It is not 100% clear what produces enough energy to survive.
Very good work. Could be a really cool game when redesigned with better ui and maybe sound.
Haha what a fun, a kind of Missle Command clone, but much easier. Nice idea. Fun to play.
Very cool mechanics. Highly innovative. I needed several attempts to survive the fisrt minutes, but when you have enough money nothing can happen anymore.
Maybe increasingly difficult enemies would be a good idea.
Cool retro Graphics. But I don't really see why I can put the fork to the sides. The fish are counted no matter if I put the fork or not. The sounds are also quite irritating. I haven't found out fpr which event this annoying blip sound is played for. Is this just the spooky underwater tune?
Good work.
Nice Arcade Game. The music is quite cool. Graphics is also fitting and well done. The Gameplay is strange. Why do I have to smash those poor guys?
Theme is ... um ahh.. cannot find the relation.
Very nice Graphics and Idea. A very solid implementation, but too repetitive for me. In Level 2 I lost interest because no new elements where introduced. Maybe block some of the vegetables in the first levels to make it more interesting to progress.
Looks like it works only with the x86 version of the C++ packages. x64 does not work
An Executable would be nice. The obstacle to install additional runtimes is too high.
The Web version seems to be not a web version.
Really great Graphics and Music. I haven't understood the gameplay. The keyboard setting is also not usable on a german keyboard. This could be a great game once it is finished.
Good idea, but it seems to be quite random if you find something useful. I happily found the blackbox in the second attempt, but I don't know if by skill or by luck...
Very nice puzzle game. Would be more fund when you don't have to wait so long to switch again. Good Music. The voice could be louder.
Haha, Funny little Game. I am the biiig Kraken. Yes!
Really great graphics style and funny animations. In my opinion the player has not enough control. It tried it often and had the feeling that it is more or less random if my weak pirates are attacked or not. I was not able to get very far.
Nice Graphics style. But unfortunately too hard for me.
My Maximum score of several attemps was 1.
What a fun Game! Really great! The music is also very cool and fits to the game. Well done!
Very Nice implementation and cool idea. Unfortunately no sound, but the rest of the game is very solid.
Very nice Sound and Graphics. The gameplay is however hard to understand. Some better feedback why energy is lost would be nice.
Very good Music and nice idea. I got quite far, but could not finish due to my problems with motionsickness in 3D-Games. At the end it felt like a walking simulator with some memory game. Well done especially for your first 3D-Game
Very cool and strange idea! I liked it very much. Gut to Level 527. Good work!
Cool idea and solid implementation.
The sound effects are also very fitting. It has the right feelig of an arcade game. Unfortunately the sub moves quite fast and the difficulty is quite high.
Well done!
That felt creepy. I didn't really understand how to know what to do and what not, but I just tried all the possibilites.
After some bad endings I found someting, but I didn't feel like a good ending.
I enjoyed that the photos are of such a bad quality, I didn't want to see them in more detail anyway.
Nice idea and implementation. The Graphics is very nice and the music fits the theme. An animation for the diver would have improved the graphics even more.
I am not sure if it is really a game or more a interactive story...
Cool idea and solid implementation. Quite challenging to control at the beginning. More narrow levels would be a good challenge to really shift the energy. I was happy with a almost evenly distributed setting.
Greetings to the Raumzeitlabor.
Nice idea and well implemented.
What I didn't understand is how to optimize the pipes. It seems pretty random for me how much a new field increases the $/second. Sometimes it even decreases.
The instructions should make this clearer to make the game more fun.
Nicely done!
But the sound effects are not so nice and it is not so clear what the goal of the game is, except of 'adventure'
Keep on the good work
Nice Music and Graphics. A little bit too hard for me, but I am not a platformer specialist.
This is like an somehow interactive book. Nice idea. Some sound effects would have been a good idea.
Impressive graphics and fantastic sound, but no real gameplay. I had the feeling just to walk, walk, walk (in circles) and mash my button when something appears. Has probably some potential with more gameplay.
Hmm too hard for me. I also didn't understood what the game has to do with the title and the intro talk...
Hmm strange. At first I thought I have some control. When phase 2 starts, I can switch to different colors, but cannot use them. When phase 3 starts, I can do what I want and nothing changes anymore.
The music repeats all the time which is quite annoying.
Also strange is the concept to have a windows menu which is not english on the window.
Very nice game. I had fun finding the correct solutions. Also a good ear training and sound memorization game. I like it very much.
Cool idea, and good 'tutorial', but somehow unexact controls. I had fun the first few levels, but was not able to jump where i have to push the brown 'colleague' into the spikes. Maybe a bug? I don't really mind the poor graphics and sound, but the controls are important, they should work flawless.
Keep on the good work.
Funny idea. Good work.
Cool graphics and sound. Nice animations.
I didn't have a clue what to do to progress in this game. All actions lead to instant death. A little bit too frustrating.
Nice game mechanics with cool retro-style. Good work, fitting sound and graphics.
Very nice game. I had fun playing it. Graphics and sound is good. The gameplay is solid, although the controls are sometimes not responding as I would have expected.
Nice idea well implemented. I like the printer sound. I only played it once since it has no big replay value and got to 1:16. I think I really don't want to do this job...
Hmm. The sword destroys the ground? This is strange to me. Graphics and sound are also very minimalistic...
Nice idea, but some sound effects would be nice.
Nicely done. It was fun to play through!
I like it, I like it, I like it!
Hey this is cool. All these ridicilous details are fantastic. Also the dramatic music is fantastic.
I didn't make it to buy everything needed, but hey: Better alive and spent a lot of money on unneeded stuff than died in a shopping cart accident.
This was fun, but quite difficult to understand how it works at the beginning. Funny graphics and nice idea.
I don't like the scrolling. All the buttons would have enough space on the screen at one, so why scrolling?
Cool Music. Funny little game. The user interface is however quite bad.
Keep on the good work.
Nice Graphics. Well done.
Cool Game with nice sound and solid implementation. Well done!
Great idea and implementation. The music is also great. Really good work!
I did it. Although it was very confusing at the beginning it was solvable. Thank you for the nice idea and good implementation.
Very nice Elite clone. Well done. Graphics and sounds are also very cool.
Nice graphics and music. It reminds me heavily on the old C=64 game style. Well done!
Nice idea, but strange controls. I didn't get too far. Sometimes I didn't really understood what the game wanted to tell me.
Very good game. I plyed it through and got 2312 gold, which I use now to buy hmm... a treasure chest to put all my wealth in.
Really good graphics, nice music, cool enemies, good levels. The only critic I have is that the sword is more a medium range sword. It works well at some distance, but doesn't cut anything once the enemies are too near. This seems strange to me. The boss fight was also very cool and stressful once the boss noticed me. Very well done.
Cool concept and solid implementation. Although I understood nothing at the beginning it gets quite clear soon. It is more a memory than a reaction game, but that is ok for me.
Good Work!
Great story and very cute and functional graphics. I was howerver confused by the uniform doors. I was constantly lost. I don't think that getting lost is an integral part of the game, so it would (in my opiniton) improve the game to label the doors.
Great work and good story.
Really great game! I like it very much. It also seems to be very solid developed and stable.
Some ideas from my side:
I would like to have keyboard control. Mouse clicking (and moving) is not my idea of a rythm game
I don't understand the difference of up and down. At least the music does not reflect different pitch levels.
The difficulty is quite hard, but I think this is ok to have a challenge.
Really good work!
Funny idea, solid implementation. I like the sequence of airport-plane-island Really illustrative. Some sounds would have improved this very much. Try the tools found at the Ludum Dare Tools links. More individual newspaper headlines would be even more funny.
A restart button should also be in there.
Nice idea with funny character, but I was not able to finish one level (I guess - didn't get much feedback about failure or success). Unfortunately not much fun for me altough it looks like a good idea with quite good programming.
Sounds and animation would have improved the game.
Nice done, but too minimalistic for me.
Good writing. I was i a similar situation some years ago and I think you got the spirit of the situation very well.
Good work nicely implemented.
Nicely done. Although the player has few choice what to do, the result of the actions is the difference.
Nice done. I enjoyed to have a quite 'special' game mechanics.
Very very cool puzzler. I liked it very much to play it to the end. Very good levels which are challenging but not frustrating except level 3 which should be explained in the game in my opinion since it holds a core mechanics of the game and not a puzzle, but of course Ludum Dare is the right place to test such decisions.
I like also the nice graphics effects in the otherwise plain graphics.
Very good job!
Great idea. I like it very much. Also very cool sound and sound effects. I was however not able to find out what the orange blocks are useful for. I had to skip all levels with orange blocks. An easy example level where the orange block does something useful would be helpful. The last level seems to be bugged. I connected the blocks, but it was not recognized. I was a bit annoyed that the game is controlled by mouse, but I have to use the keyboard(space) to go to the next level. This doesn't make sense for me.
Nice work with great potential. With a good tutorial, more block types and more levels this could be a great game for a tablet or phone.
It seems to work somehow, but the game just sporadically detects a fist although it looks exactly as on your screenshot. Nice idea, but seems to be technically to complicated.
Nicely, done. I got stuck in level 10 or so when I found no further keys in the toilet where i used a key for.
Very good work for the short time.
Very funny. Good work. Feels quite polished, but very short. I wish you'd had more time to make it longer.
Very good concept. Well done. The soundtrack is a bit repetitive, but fits well. Excellent work for a game jam!
Nice small game. Well done, funny idea. Unfortunately too hard for me to finish.
Very cool intro. I was instantly reminded of the "master of the lamps" in my C=64 and additionally "The Little Prince". I would have also expected a landing, but as you already explained it is not always possible to implement everything you want. Nice work with nice music.
For me the mouse control was a little bit too slow to get through all hoops. And sometimes I was confused which is the next. Maybe a fading (fog) effect to the distance would help here...
Keep on the good work.
Cool idea, it could be very much fun with a few modifications (in my opinion):
- Tutorial. I needed some minutes to understand what to click in which sequence. I also was not able to create a sandwhich
- Much shorter days. It feels so repetitive without any success of finishing a day.
Keep on the good work.
Cool music and sound effects. Have you played the song on your guitar?
Very cool and innovative. Also a good interpretation of the theme. I also like the cheat mode, to make it easier to understand how it works. Also nice Graphics. Excellent work.
Very interesting and very promising. A good entry for a ludum dare, but quite hard to understand. I didn't manage to 'survive' more than a few rounds each time. Maybe this is intended, but for me it made it hard to know what to do.
I would like to get guidance how to play.
I don't understand it. I can walk around, but there is no goal, or purpose in it. I also don't understand the effect of waving with the arm.
Nice 'demo'.
Very interesting. First I thought I could learn the rules, but then just enjoyed the 'story'. Nice work and good implementation.
Funny interpretation of this game idea. It even has scrolling! Music gets soon anoying, other soundeffects are cool.
Some kind of score or game over would add additional tension. I was not able to get further than the second knife-level. It seems to get too hard there.
Looks like there is a bug in there which prevents correct execution. Web version shows
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'b' of null
in Chrome console
Fun clicking game. Quite entertaining.
Really nice ideas. Especially the virtual reality simulation and the photo mission. It really feels a bit like flying to the moon, although I was more crashing on the moon...
That was scary! Cool idea and implementation!
Cool black and white film style. The graphics and music is also incredible. I would need much longer to get such a polished presentation. The gameplay idea is also cool, although I am no so good in giving the right answers...
Pretty nice timbering - I mean programming
Hmm... The zombies are acting more like bees. I haven't seen a real effect of the described mouse move. Could be fun for other players, but is to hectic for me. The light effect is nice, but somehow also unneccessary.
I can't run it on my Windows7 machine. (Nothing happens)
What a great idea, but also what a pity it has only one? level... The Graphics is fantastic, the introduction is great, the music is soo cool. Well done. I hope you work further on this game to provide more content for the really good idea!
I didn't want to agree to 'terms of service' just to play the game. Sorry-no vote.
I don't know what to do. The player feedback is not clear. The only feedback I get is the vanishing eggs in the top right corner.
The score does nothing and also other feedback is not visible.
Quite challenging, but fun to play. The 10second limit is a little bit short, and I don't like the always repeating eating ritual. Some more berry places would make the game more interesting to explore.
Really cool idea. Its fun to follow the story. Also the music is nice. Unfortunatley there is only one way to play and the gameplay is limited to the 'quicktime events'. But nevertheless I had fun. Good work.
A really impressive piece of work. The mood is unbelieveable. Is there more gameplay then 'experiment'? It was not clear to me...
Strange but cool!
Very balanced game with lots of details and fantastic graphics. Everything look very polished. You really did a good job. It took me some time to understand the $ mechanic, thought there will be a shop at some time, but this way it gives also a very interesting mechanic to the game.
Cool puzzle idea! Works really well. I didn't get the 10 seconds part. Is is because all parts apear in pairs?
Solid game with innovative mechanics!
Good game with nice sounds and music. Very solid without any glitches. Since I am not a big fan of platformers and my skill is very low, I had no chance to finish more than two levels, but the level design and game design is very solid.
Good Work!
Cool Game really fun to play.
I like the background track together with the sound of the towers. A really cool drummachine.
Graphics is simple and clear!
Funny
Quite strange game mechanics. Hard to understand what to do. The sounds are quite funny.
Cool style. I like it very much. Good story telling and mood. But althogh I already played lots of adventure games, I was not able to solve a puzzle without the help of the walktrough - they are very confusing.
Hey this is the same game I have created. At least the idea is exactly the same, but the implementation is slightly different. I found your enty by your blog post 'Thoughts on music in the compo division'
I struggled however already at the second level and was not able to get further without hints. Seems like my musical understanding is not good enough. I like games like yours which try to help the player with hints instead of letting them fail. This is in my opinion a very good design decision.
The thrid level is already really hard. It would be nice to play the instruments seperately.
So when you want to play a very similar game, try mine.
Very cool art style. The ideas are really fantastic, but the balancing could be improved.
Very cool Game! I like the mechanic and the controls. also the Graphics and the sound. The first level is really great. The second level is a little bit tiring since you have to do so many things to succeed. I would have split the puzzles somehow, so the player has a success when a part of the puzzle was done correctly. This would motivate me more than a really big puzzle which takes me very long.
This is a very cool game. The mood was very intense and I was motivated to find all the hints to help the poor guy.
The ending is however a little bit strange
I first tried it with Firefox, but the audio does not play, which is half of the fun. But with crome it works well and it is quite funny. Well done!
Very nice Music and Mood. A very solid puzzler with easy start and challenging puzzles.
Very cool graphics and sound. I like the idea of just exploring the world. I get confused when I fly through the walls and the game is usualy over then...
Really nice with good graphics and sound. A good idea nicely implemented.
Nice Game, but I had a lot of trouble in the first levels. At the beginning it is very hard, and you don't understand what's going on. The game even don't tell you when you lost, it just starts over again. After many tries I found out that the Ring tower is the way to go. It is cheap and some kind of overpowered. Once I setup my towers there is no real challange anymore. All waves are killed automatically whithout anything for me to do. At level 2.13 the game crashed.
Keep on balancing the game to make it even more fun!
The idea is brilliant, but I had no real fun, since it is possible to cut all wires and solve at least 10 levels without thinking before you suddenly die and have to start over again due to an error. The 10 seconds is too short to really thnik about the correct solution.
The challange and reward cycle of the game is not working properly.
You could limit the ammount of cuts, reduce complexity and do the 10 second limit for a part (one vertical gap between elements), give better feedback what is correct and what wrong, make more puzzles which punish cutting the 'wrong' wire and please don't let the player start at level one when failed.
Very nice work keep on improving it!
I had a lot of fun playing it. Thanks
Really cool idea. I programmed a supercool game with it. In ten seconds and it even worked...
Cool idea, very nice implementation. Has everything it needs
Very funny adventure
Really cool idea, works nice except that some aliens seem to be immune to the missles, they go right though them.
Graphics is really excellent, and it is nice to make your own music by playing the game, but it seems to be too difficult to be really fun for me.
Oh, I FAIL
This is a really good idea. So punishing, but motivating at the same time! I got to 2.3 seconds, but probably only by the bug meintioned by L
This is really really cool. So I played my 10 seconds of the epic quest. A real multiplayer game.
Cool game, but I was not able to complete it due to the annoying sound and my dislike of platformers.
Cool Athmosphere, nice sound. Good Work!
Very interesting. Although I did not really understand what I did, it seems I have done it intuitively right before the motion sickness of the strage graphics caught me.
Very cool. The sound gives a good athmosphere.
It took me 5 tries to understand the concept. Then I was able to make it up to the dragon, but since the controls is not optimized for german keyboards it was impossible to win.
Nice idea and good graphics. Too fast for me. Some good instructions would make it clearer what to do.
It took me 5 tries to finish the first level. After a few tries you get an idea how to beat the game, but it is still very challenging and I don't like the ammount of luck you need. Nice sound and also good controls. Keep on making games.
Incredible! I can't believe you did this in 48 hours. Everything is perfect. The graphics, the sound, the story, the gameplay.
Really cool game. First I had some trouble, but once I understood the mechanics it is quite entertaining... and also frustrating when I die with all the progress made so far.
Very nice graphics and sound! I had also trouble with the controls with my german keyboard, but it is playable quite well with this layout.
Nice idea and cool graphics, I like it.
Nice idea, but gets very fast difficult.
I think such a game is hard to balance. Longer distances between the intersections would make it easier to plan. I am not sure if the 10 second limit is even needed since the traffic automatically ques up when you don't do it right.
It runs very good on my android tablet
Cool physics and idea.
Really cool idea, but much too hard with the 10 second limit. The buttons appear also ver big on my Nexus10 tablet. I would like to see more of the game area. Tis would make it playable with the 10 second limit
A very noisy and funny parody. I like it ... somehow
A funky music game. I enjoyed it altough it looks quite simple at first sight.
A very cool idea. I would like to play this on my tablet.
Very cool idea, but I think the playfield is too big and the game is therefore unnessesarily hard. I was not able to get in the positive. I would like to see some increasing difficulty level (starting low)
Starts easy, but gets very challenging soon. Really good work. This would also be fun as a mobile app
Really funny and cute, but I don't like the time constraint. This makes it somehow random.
I has some trouble when stuck in a planet and nothing happens, but when it works it is quite funny and good idea!
Very funny. I had some trouble navigating through the hose, but the intruder alert system shoved me to the correct place.
Cool idea and funny graphics with the flying stations.
Cool and psychedelic. The crowd simulation and the sounds are really cool. Also the graphics and the fonts. Really good work.
Cool graphics. The gameply seems to be quite standard with the 10 second counter added. Keep on creating games!
Very cool game. It is impressive how life can change with such simple interactions. Some sounds (silent background) would be nice to improve the athmosphere
Very cool game. I like the waving of the wires very much makes it quite difficult to follow the blue wire.
After level 20 it gets really hard.
I got overwhelmed very quickly. Quite frustrating after a short time to play.
But a solid game with good graphics and sound
Fast collecting action. I got almost instantly motion sicness and had to stop
Cool sounds and nice graphics. It works suprprisingly well with the turn-based trick and the ticking clock.
I get a Error (404) when clicking the link
Not easy to master
Easy small game
Oh a typing game!
Good mood. The mario tune interpretation is also cool
Haha! Superman and Indianajones in one person!
Funny idea, but i was a little bit frustrated as the controls din't want as I want. Very good graphics and also good sound.
A part of moonlander and a part of choplifter.
Nice Graphics, good sound. A game where skill is needed. Good work!
Cool setting, good graphics, cool music.
But I haven't understood the gameplay. Is it just trial and error?
Buuh I am 'Failsausage!'. This was fun.
For me this may be a cool game when I have some lives like it was in the good old days of C=64.
The funny sound and time display with lots of digits are also cool ideas
Cool sound and Graphics. I haven't really understood how the planning phase affects the battle phase.
Healing or upgrading my defenders would be nice.
Simple but fun
Hmm. First I was not able to start the game at all since the tutorial starts over and over again. Is it really mandatory to go through the tutorial each time I start the game?
At the second try I solved it directly. At least 'Thanks for playing' appeared, but then was back at level7, then had -1 seconds.
Keep on creating games. it is really a good practice. I personally would not choose C++, but wen you really want to learn it, why not?
Quite funny and quite challenging, but not too hard to finish. I liked it
Did I save the people, or am I responsible for their death? This is really hard stuff. Incredible mood, but annoying sound. Something slower would fit better
It traverses it's own memory. This is really cool. Although more a techdemo than a game...
Very professional. The graphics and sound is really cool. For my skill it is however a little too hard. Maybe I'm just too tired from the weekend.
The audio and visuals are very spooky, but I missed the target of the game.
It took me a long time to figure out how to control this and also found no instructions :-(
But once I found out by clikcing madly on the screen it was quite fun. All these rubber food bounces so nicely.
Hey I also programmed something with scratch with my daugther. This is very good for the limited capabilities of scratch!
I however don't like the time pressure for this more puzzle style game
I don't see why this should be a game...
The graphics attracted me to play the game, but it seems to be buggy. I cannot jump higher than the first platform. After 3 sunsets the sun hangs and you can play forever.
Somehow spooky. Although I played a lot ot text adventures back in the old C=64 days I prefer modern adventures more. I will try this later again since I did not get too far. Cool graphics by the way.
Very cool. It is a lot of fun to find out how to solve the puzzles. It is however not so much fun to start from the beginning when you did an failure ate the end of the level. Some kind of checkpoint system would really be nice.
It is almost impossible to get hit by the bombs.
I like the graphic style. These single colour sprites remind me of the 'good old days'
I don't understand it. The first time the blue man took over 60 seconds, the second time he walked backwards. Is this Michael Jackson?
Funny idea, but hard to play. For me it is like a shooter. You have to aim carefully
Unfortunately it doesn't work on my windows7 machine. The windows opens and directly closes afterwards.
The graphics looks so cool on the screenshots...
The arrows are too hard compared to the levels up to there, therefore I can only rate the beginning of the game.
Graphics and Sound is really hypnoitizing, Is it possible to get out on the first try (second)? I guess not.
I don't see the game link... I should get my glasses
Quite funny and with a motivating upgrade-system
Very nice Game with a good idea. The music and sound effects are really good.
Doesn't run on my Windows 7 machine. It saces libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing
I like the "Pacifist" Weapon. So peaceful...
Oh my god! I am to old to get my hands on the VIC-20. The C=64 was already affordable when I was young, and all of my friends had one, so I have never seen the VIC-20 computer in action.
Thank you for creating this game. It is a quality like one of my first games on the C=64. But I think this game is more about the retro feeling.
It is quite funny, but very hard to fit these brave Americans through the windows in this short time
LD35 — Shapeshift (15)
A Tetris Piece That Tilted And Fell by cinnamonmelonpig 2016-04-29T20:04:00
Very cool Game. I had fun testing all the possible shapes. I was however somtimes not able to play for long, because one level was unexpectedly difficult :-(
Good work with nice tune which makes me try again after failure...
I Have Brig Plans by reheated 2016-04-22T19:02:00
This is fantastic. I already played your last ludum dare game to the end and also this one. You are the master of puzzle games.
Also a very smooth control and nice sounds and music make this game absolutely fantastic!
2D-Tris by Monofraps 2016-04-22T18:22:00
That is really a clever idea! First I was a little bit confused, so I got -63 points for the first level, but then I went better. Maybe a bit smaller playfield would make it a bit more interesting, but nevertheless a very good idea and cool game!
Blockfall by xandy 2016-04-22T18:14:00
Well done. Nice idea well implemented. Some sound and graphical effects would have made it a really fantastic game. But it already very good. I liked to play it.
CHORUS by Pantelis Petsopoulos 2016-04-22T18:04:00
I got 24040 in easy mode.
This game is difficult to vote for, because it is a nice idea which is well implemented. But the music is a little bit strange and the player doesn't need to listen to it to play the game.
But nevertheless nice work. A solid game!
The Fox Prince by EighthNote 2016-04-22T17:55:00
Quite simple game, but clever usage of the shapeshifting theme. Good work.
ShapeShifter by furyan 2016-04-22T17:52:00
Nice shapeshifting, but I was not able to really see the difference except that the first two are constantly reloading, while the third is just overpowered.
Good work.
GOLD+SLIME by bibdectrl 2016-04-22T17:42:00
Cool retro-style. Nice idea with the different monster effects. I didn't manage to get out as promised in the intro, but it was fun anyway.
Pretend by davor10105 2016-04-22T17:37:00
Nicely done! I like the different behaviours.
You managed to transport your message in this game.
Shapinoid by williamtosh 2016-04-22T17:33:00
That is a nice experiment. Use a well-known game mechanic and excange someting. Sometimes this gives a real cool new game. In your case I didn't see a strong effect, but nice implementation especially for the short time. The controls are a bit difficult to master. Is this intended? Mouse control would make it much easier to play.
P.S. I did also started some hours before the end, but I was not able to get it as polished as you do. Congratulations for the first LD!
Squirm by zenmumbler 2016-04-20T20:47:00
Cool implementation of the oldschool dungeoncrawler perspective. But I was somehow lost and didn't know what the purpose of my jorney is. I got to the room with the laughter and was not able to proceed. Is this the end?
Would be a real game with more guidance, but it is also a good impressive experience this way..
Shifter by swiddledee 2016-04-20T07:07:00
Cool idea, but a bit random. You just have a very short time to fit the shape and turning is quite slow.
I would have preferred something like:
* I turn and have to confirm that I turned it to the correct position
* I use the mouse and have to keep it into the correct position for maybe half a second.
Nice work. Keep on going!
RhythmicalCreation by lycoris102 2016-04-20T07:03:00
Nice implementation. Cool graphics and Music, but hard to understand which beats have to be pressed. It just don't relate exactly to the music.
From the gameplay perspective it is possible to succeed by just mashing the space bar all the time. This is not what a rythm game is about. You shoul consider giving a penalty to this.
Nice Work.
HappyNest by Black Horn Studios 2016-04-19T20:38:00
Ha, that was funny. It shurely has some serious gameplay, but most important is the frequency you mash the mouse button. That is ok for me...
Shapes.IO by Integershift 2016-04-19T20:20:00
Hey, cool idea, works pretty fine for me. It is a concentration game. For those who like them. I am usually not so good at them, and quit fairly often. But it looks really complete and you also added sounds.
I don't like the keyboard layout. I would like to have the controls on different hands. I also don't like to use the mouse when everything else is on keyboard. But this is nothing which impairs the game.
