This is a really cool concept, and fits the theme well. I especially liked the bullet patterns. I did find the enemies' sounds to be pretty grating though, perhaps you could find some tunes that mesh better together?
I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It wasn't particularly expansive on gameplay, it has a strong concept that fits the theme well. I just wish the explosions had some area of effect, since you can only kill one at a time!
I'm sad that I can't play it! Once I get to the title screen, I push enter and it displays the screen showed in your screenshot, which immediately fades to a full black screen.
There weren't any visible error messages. The way I described, I had skipped the intro. If I watch the intro, it quickly shows what I think is the title screen without the words yet, and then fades to black.
I got it to work on an older computer. I really like these types of games, and it was just the perfect length. Well done.
I would have liked to see some diagonal movement, but that's just my preference. I also didn't realize I had to press space multiple times to hack, until I read the above comment. Nice concept and use of the theme!
I'd consider putting in some more ingame documentation, such as how much the towers cost, as well as the 'press q to quit' instruction. Nice pathfinding.
I like how the sun smiles when you die =)
@deveinmoore- I had the same issue. You need the XNA framework to run it (it's the second link he posted).
It's pretty neat, for how simple it is. The graphics are nice and clean, and it fits the theme well.
I think it'd be interesting if holding down the left mouse would maintain a singularity that rapidly drained energy, to get larger groups.
Good game. The art was especially amazing. It would be nice to be able to kill other enemies when you're pulling one in, by swinging it around. As it is, if you missed the pull to you, you were disarmed for a while. Also, if you start pulling in an enemy that dies, your tractor beam is stuck until you let it go. Only minor complaints, though!
Nice atmosphere you've got going on here. I liked the accompanying comic =)
Interesting take on the theme. I was entertained that it was a valid, though not a very good, strategy to ride a wall up and walk on a path of walls.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad that the story seems to be enjoyable.
@HybridMind- Thanks a lot for the specificity of the crash bug report! It's fixed now. I hope you can play through to the end (it's a really short game), since in my opinion, the ending is the best part =P
The flashlight wasn't intended to be used extensively. I didn't make that very clear, but the best way to use it is only for split seconds at a time. That being said, I will approximately double the flashlight life in the post-compo version, to make the experience less frustrating.
Scratch that- I just checked, and on my computer it lasts for approximately 2.5 second. There must be a timestep bug- I'll address this to make the game more playable. Thanks for the feedback!
That is quite unfortunately, because you definitely did miss something! I'm impressed with your accomplishment, though.
You failed to fail, so to speak.
Not bad. Very cleanly done for a quick job. I ended up just sorting the words by color, but perhaps that's what you intended? Also, more words would be nice.
Nicely done. I actually enjoyed this game quite a bit. It had interesting gameplay and level design. It was quite difficult at times, but never got too frustrating. I may have missed something, but I couldn't tell which terminals associated with which colors. Also, you don't have a diagonal run animation for the player character.
Nicely done. Does the game get harder over time? I played to about 200 by pushing everything off the right of the screen, so I never had any asteroids onscreen for long.
Excellent job. The ending was really moody... in a good way. The atmosphere was brilliantly achieved.
It seems that you are able to press 'up' to move your selected topic above the screen (pressing up twice requires pressing down twice to get it back onscreen), and trying to select an offscreen option crashes the game. Perhaps it's an index out of bounds thing?
This was neat. I was amused that to traverse the starting area, you had to climb on top of chairs and tables... they must really be crammed for space!
With some music, it'd be pretty creepy as is. Would love to see a game and objective with this, since the shadow effects are great.
I loved the graphics and the music. Really cute!
I liked the atmosphere of this one! It was fun overall
I really liked this. Polished all the way through, and created a great atmosphere with simple sounds and art. Well done. The turret sections were a bit tricky, but not impossible.
Glad you liked it! I built the entire game from that one concept, since I really enjoyed similar games like Zelda: Majora's Mask, and Level Up!
There's only one ending, I ran out of time to add more =)
It's possible to get passwords to all of the doors in the game, though they aren't all necessary. You just have to talk to the right people! Try saving the scientist that you see dying, as well as talking to the professor in the upper-left corner.
It's really cute. I'd love to check this out again when it's done!
Neat idea! Kind of gave me a vibe of futility. Reminded me of Spore's space stage.
I am the greatest scientist ever!
Well made. It was fun and definitely worth playing
Well made, and pretty fun. It feels a little too random though- sometimes monsters start right next to me and I can't do anything about it!
Definitely an interesting idea, that I'd like to see taken further!
It's be nice if the ping lasted a little longer, I ended up mashing space a lot =P
Interesting story. I didn't really feel like the fog mechanics added much to the game.
Great atmosphere, though I did notice the framerate drop when an area was mostly cleared. I really liked the graphics style, and I love these kind of laid-back exploration games. I'd love to see a full map of the world sometime. Is there a way to run it fullscreen?
I rather liked the music, but you aren't supposed to use assets that you didn't make yourself!
The graphics worked surprisingly well.
Also, it seems like it takes a lot of effort to die.
Hooray, 19700 points!
Since it restarts you at the top each time and reshuffles the chest, I just kept opening up the topleft chest over and over.
I rather liked how the fog-stuff worked; it had a nice feel to it. I think my character would be pretty jittery after all of that coffee...
I'm glad you posted screenshots of the additional gameplay, or I would have just thought that the entire game was like the first level. Nice variety of game mechanics! I was amused that I could stick myself to the ceiling in the second level.
Very unique game. Would like an option to slow things down a little so I can better customize =P
The online interactivity is pretty neat!
Loved the dashing. The heart mechanic was a little wonky on spikey pits, since you had to pick it up on your way back up. But seriously, the dashing was great.
I liked the graphics and the concept! It'd be nice if the islands were generated to be a bit more usable. I ended up playing a few maps where there was no stone and few docks.
Loved the voice! The mouse seemed to lag a bit, but that just might be my experience.
Thanks for all the positive feedback! I had a lot of fun making this game. I'm working on an enhanced version with a few extra levels, and maybe someday will flesh out the idea further. I'm also having a friend write some music for it (the same person who did the music for endeavor). Thanks for playing it!
Loved it. Fantastic aesthetic
I liked the music! The game is very straightforward, and the concept is neat
Oh man, I love the aesthetic of this one
Overall a solid game. Really enjoyed seeing the humans pop out whenever I cracked open a building! I demolished a bunch of cities in a row, and then went on a rampage and cleared the world in one go
Genocide was never so much fun! Really had a great mood and theme here, and loved commanding the units.
Neat random planets! A few times I didn't even have to shoot anything to get all the treasures
Great music. Loved the feel of dodging the giant raindrops.
Great style!
Brilliant and moody. Great idea.
Super pretty, neat game! The comet effects were pretty awesome.
I had a lot of fun with this one. Nicely done!
Whoa, great idea and execution. The mood was amazing, and the recursion was well implemented.
I really liked the win condition on this game!
That was pretty silly and fun :)
FYI, the pause button doesn't actually prevent the time from counting down!
Really chill feel to it, and smoothly animated. Love it
Loved it. Had a lot of fun piecing together the puzzle bits. Also liked the random details, including the black square ant things and bouncing boxes.
Really really pretty. Relaxing gameplay. Great game!
Nice! Little tricky, but great gravity effects
Tough, but incredibly beautiful with a great pulse
Great concept! Had a difficult time platforming, but definitely had fun cutting down some cards!
The game is really, really well designed. Awesome job.
That was amazing. Loved the graphics, humor, and oddness
Beautiful. Amazing mood.
Simple, elegant, cute.
I had some fun hunting for the keys!
Really spot on.
really neat idea, would love to see it taken further!
Amazing. Incredibly lighthearted presentation, yet so depressing.
Haha, it's super awesome that you made a game so incredibly retro. I definitely tried it out- would love to see you add some gameplay to it!
Requiring an external emulator is kind of a big barrier to entry for most players, fyi.
Wow, great take on a classic game style. Nice presentation!
Cute art, and a really neat idea!
Amazing and relaxing. Loved the experimentation.
Pretty tough, but still fun and a really neat idea!
Adorable! Really neat feel. Loved the chat from the npcs.
Really neat and moody. Was pretty, and the gameplay was tough but relaxed. Certainly fun to play.
Neat idea! I was entertained by how much gravity influenced the bullets
Nice! That was a fun and pretty experience. Liked the different characters, too.
I played by myself with an xbox controller- thought it was strange that jump was Y instead of A.
I played the WindowsEnhanced version, since the Windows link didn't work. Though, the game didn't entirely match the screenshot, so maybe it wasn't the correct version?
Wonderfully absurd!
ooh that was great. a nice little point and click adventure!
Really neat!. Great idea, simple gameplay, and smooth graphics.
Great ambiance! A super chill trip through technological enlightment
Really minimal and neat! Ramps up quickly
Great style. Very simple and straightforward, yet a satisfying experience
Loved the offbeat style. The ending was just icing on that cake. Super pretty style!
Really well put together. Great art and presentation!
Extremely epic and pretty. Love the enormous boss battle. Would be great if there were more details in the sky so I could better judge how high up I am!
I loved the 3d resources bouncing around this world. This is exactly the kind of quirky game that makes me love LD so much
Neat puzzles, nice soundtrack! I had some fun shooting myself endlessly on the level with the band of ice.
Great implementation of a one-button game. Well done!
The fish eye view made it ten times harder, but a hundred times more awesome!
Actually pretty neat, and I dig the pixel graphic. The little spider things were tricky!
Pretty cool feeling of being in a world! Loved the idea you were going with
I had a really fun time with this game. Shooting my arrows into orbit was really neat, and I liked the mechanics. Would have been awesome to be able to move while aiming!
Really neat world toy!
really awesome mood and atmosphere. agree that a progress bar would be nice :D
that was adorable :) nice work!
Freezes for me on chrome (v23.0.1271.97 m) and firefox (17.0.1)
beautiful game. very well implemented. great job!
really awesome. didn't have anyone to play with, but I gave multiplayer a shot on my own anyway. great job!
really awesome. fantastic job!
Really neat! short and sweet. particularly had a lot of fun repeatedly warping to travel super quickly.
really really really pretty. reminds me of the old windows 98 maze screensaver!
fantastic. great aesthetic and implementation.
Great work! I loved that all the goons had individual names. Nice touch.
really neat take on the classic missile defender game! once I got down to one guy left, I had fun creating an umbrella for him by rapidly clicking
awesome aesthetic. nice and simple. option for higher difficulty. well done!
really great and intuitive controls. awesome work!
oh man I love this. great aesthetic and ambiance. the simon-says gameplay is awesome.
love the graphics and simple gameplay. I'd totally like to play a version with infinite lives, so I can see the later levels!
nicely done. great stripped-down meatboy gameplay. I occasionally felt like the wall-jump mechanic was working against me, where'd I'd stick to it unintentionally, resulting in me jumping off horizontally when I intended to jump vertically
awesome work! great puzzles, music and mechanics. very polished, particularly for only 18 hours of work.
might be worth adding the sound toggle key (M) to the controls list!
fantastic.
loved the title-as-instructions. well done.
very unique! the simple gameplay works well, and the sounds and aesthetic were fantastic
really neat idea! does a great job of evoking the frustration (and fun!) of refactoring
really trippy. awesome! it was a little jarring that if you clicked the birds to go up another perception level when you were already at max, it would reset concentration and make you lose perception faster.
a very neat, simplified minecraft! took a while to get used to the 1d movement, since it tooks waaay too long to try to return "home" each time I went out to go mining!
played all the way to the end. man, I do not want to let this guy pack for me on a trip! really unique interpretation of the theme. awesome job! I rather liked the graphics as well
awesome! the graphics really do a great job of minimally conveying scenery
really trippy. nice straightforward gameplay, great job!
love it.
ooh, this is really cool. i love the idea. mixing colors quickly can sometimes be a little tough. great job
man, that got hard fast. great job making interesting gameplay with a simple aesthetic and mechanics!
such a cool concept! would have loved for the game to automatically gain focus on each refresh. I bet your site is getting a lot of hits :D
this was really entertaining. it was fun seeing a traincard spinning around uncontrollable after taking an indirect hit. I love the absurd concept
just beautiful. very well done.
great frantic TD! loved the simple controls and aesthetic
cute game, and great controls! just as I was thinking it was too easy, the difficulty really picked up
beautiful beautiful art style. loved the trippy atmosphere. fantastic work!
the aesthetic and atmosphere were superb. awesome music, too!
wonderful. what a great experience and presentation. well done!
great mood and presentation! I love the idea of putting the upgrades in tombstones
fantastic. great take on the theme!
d'awwwww... kitty with a big wrench! loved the clockwork level design and aesthetic
that was really beautiful. the world was well-made, and the story was really touching. fantastic work!
very moody. I love the feel of it
great style and level design! I liked the use of the theme. would have loved some sound effects :D
I always enjoy photography games. enjoyed this one, and would love to see more of it!
great mood! may the rich live forever! muahahaha
dear lord this game is terrifying. fantastic work.
what a bizarre game. I love it!
fantastically beautiful.
today I learned that I've been using git wrong the whole time. thanks, gitgirl!
beautiful and morose. great entry!
love the art style, and the ending is fantastic. very unique game. great job!
I love it. the world needs more quirky games like this
brilliant. very well polished and fun to play. great job!
really great job creating a terrifying atmosphere. *shudder*
really offbeat and funny. great job!
crazy tough. great references. loved the RRRRRR level. well done!
nicely done! I'd love to see it with more features. I was amused that I could navigate the whole thing using my reverse thrusters, which used no fuel!
really cute! though I doubt the wizard has much to teach Garry, if he spends all of his time locked up...
great presentation! the controls took some time to get used to, but were pretty neat. would have loved an option to play without the time limit!
what a trippy and beautiful game. great job!
I loved how each weapon had its own music. the gatling gun felt awesome every time I got it :D
that was fantastic. great aesthetic and design, witty questions and response, and a unique goal. in what other game do I want to be as neutral as possible? great work!
amazing. the gameplay is great, the music and art was fantastic, the game has a great personality, and I GOT TO PLAY WITH VEGETABLES!!!
really polished and sleek. wish it was longer, or had more levels. neat idea!
loved the olde timey presentation! the movement was really quirky, but that added to the feel of the game. great job!
great visuals, and nice simple gameplay. the random powerups were neat!
loved the interpretation of the theme! really unique. all of the minigames were fun to play
really cool idea! loved the day/night cycle, and the digging controls were fantastic- it felt amazing to jump through dirt. great job!
loved the presentation. the visuals and sound were pretty absorbing. great work!
loved the offbeat setting. nicely done!
really great presentation. fantastic job!
insanely beautiful. brilliant.
great mood and mechanics!
never thought I'd play a zombie game where I'd wish there would be more zombies. fun game!
great job! it was pretty entertaining when a whole mess of me were barreling over each other to try to make it over each wall
nicely done! made it past the boss. the field got really cluttered at the end with powerups that I couldn't use because I had maxed the stat; it probably wouldn't hurt to just hide them automatically
fantastic exposition and presentation! loved it.
great presentation and concept!
found this game to be rather soothing. great job on the sfx and projectile graphics! some more ingame direction (why it's good to have more damage, missiles, etc) would be helpful
really neat game! I was certainly never bored. the camera was a little touchy, and it would have been awesome to see which building was selected!
man, what did this guys do to deserve getting stuck in a place like this? loved the idea and music. would have enjoyed tighter controls!
great idea and execution. loved the simple gameplay!
loved the hand-drawn art!
really beautiful and atmospheric! would love to be able to play without the time limit and just... swim :)
very pretty and relaxing! the different death descriptions were a nice touch
I really like this one. the quirky and minimalist gameplay is fantastic. excellent job!
great work with establishing a mood! the darkness effects were well done.
fantastic effects and aesthetic! the game mechanic is actually really cool and interesting. great job!
fantastic. I love its simplicity.
really touching narrative. the spinning was really cool!
loved all of the critters! cute and relaxing game
kinda reminded me of boos from mario. I loved the offbeat gameplay! where can I spent my negative seconds in real life?
simple gameplay, with a great presentation and awesome victory song!
nice visual presentation! it'd be awesome to know how many more wisps I can miss before I fail
fantastic. the gameplay evolved smoothly, and it was all very intuitive. the graphics and animations were fantastic. well done!
that was a fantastic experience. awesome presentation!
great take on the theme! the minimalist design really added to the experience
so that was completely awesome. love it.
I love the take on the theme and the olde timey presentation. great job!
beautifully atmospheric! loved that the first half was really just an introduction, and the second half was much harder
great game, and really fun to play! it felt like he fell a little too fast and like to make friends with spikes... but everything was forgiven when he exploded in rainbow particles
brilliant. wish that was my coach!
loved the minimal look to it! those little critters aren't scared enough of my giant sword... if only I could learn how to swing it properly!
really unique and quirky, but it's awesome for it. great job!
awesome job! the level designs were well fit to the 10 second time limit. I liked that nearly every level I had to figure out a new thing, instead of just having to do something really quickly.
this game is amazing in so many ways. I love it.
really really difficult, but rewarding. great job!
loved the sound effects! great game. I never realized I had untapped sushi chef powers!
nice space shooter! the boss had some cool attack patterns. overall a fun game!
love the concept of playing in a clock. would love to see some powerups, score, or other gameplay added!
fun idea! I loved the simple graphics
great aesthetic! the combat is pretty punishing, though quite fun
great aesthetic and atmosphere!
wonderful aesthetic and sound integration! the mechanic was rather unique as well.
super polished and pretty! I love the simple asymmetric gameplay.
fantastic. the presentation and atmosphere are stunning. great work.
fantastic! I feel like you really captured the nuances of the life of a worm
@LandoSystems: Oops, thanks for the heads up! Updated the source link.
I appreciate all of the wonderful comments :D
FYI, there's only 1 ending and only a few small easter eggs (check out the top corners), but more are coming in a post-compo version!
love it, super zen! it's beautiful in its simplicity.
so incredibly pretty and mysterious! it's fantastic.
great atmosphere and aesthetic! definitely died a lot
this is absolutely adorable. great work!
great work for your first game! I played it all the way through. that was a pretty surreal experience :)
super unique and beautiful. great work!
very well made! the mechanics were fun an unique. It definitely could pick up in difficulty faster- I was being pretty greedy with my pipes, and the citizens didn't seem to mind terribly!
definitely super trippy! this is neat.
absolutely brilliant, once you figure out how to play! the simplicity of the graphics is fantastic. the initial difficulty is a pretty large barrier to entry, though.
fantastic presentation! I wish there were more levels to play :)
neat idea! It was nice and simple to play. Would love to see some more content- it kept looping through the same two levels!
this is just oozing with atmosphere. great work.
fantastically dark mood. I love it!
really quite pretty!
great start on a game! I found that mashing the move keys was the best way to build up speed, though it often resulted in me launching off the edge :)
really charming game! great use of the numpad.
really fun idea! it controls really well. there are sure a lot of sharks in that cove :)
oh my, that is fantastic. really really love the atmosphere... had my heart pounding!
absolutely stellar presentation! everything is just top notch- the gamplay, controls, art, and sound. fantastic work. I gave ol' Dave another 72 years :D
incredibly immersive! it was a lot of fun, if a bit too easy.
what a great atmosphere! the gameplay and graphics were pretty charming :)
very simple graphics and gameplay, and quite a bit of fun. great work!
oh man, this is great. puts a smile on my face :D
very cool, and very immersive. I loved the simple graphics and gameplay.
very cool sound and art style! pretty brutally difficult :)
very visually pleasing! the game concept was also pretty great. I wish there was a way to heal between battles :)
very cool! I liked the simple mechanics involved in building up my system. it was very pretty to look at after I had amassed a sizable amount of planets :)
fantastic presentation! the idea is simple, and very well-executed. I wish the music looped :)
great presentation! the scrolling background is pretty awesome, and I enjoyed the music
simple controls, intuitive gameplay, great idea and fantastic visuals. awesome work.
very nice! the sound effects were adorable :)
Fantastic work! The radio stations will great, and I loved how all of the planets were named so as to be readily identifiable :D
I did it! Very cute game :)
short and sweet! I like the idea of a world where water doesn't belong and simply kills you :D
I really like the direction of this! The upgrade system was neat. I occasionally had trouble stepping on the dimension-swapping button that I intended- maybe they could be spread out a bit more?
I'm very impressed with the gameplay depth you were able to create with just one button. great work!
yessssssss this is amazing. I love games with minimal interaction. the presentation is fantastic, and your description is spot on.
Great work! It was very immersive- the cockpit visuals were a nice touch. I didn't see any sort of win screen when I killed anything... perhaps I missed something?
really cute art style!
Great idea! I like the combinations of mechanics you've got. I'd love to be able to close the popups by clicking anywhere on them- many a life was lost to misclicking!
great work! loved the variety of game modes you've got, though it wasn't immediately obvious that there were more than the two on the first screen!
that was pretty great! a nice, succinct experience. well put together!
Great work! Loved the simple art direction and puzzles. I would love for the controls to directly control the left screen, rather than having them swapped.
great atmosphere! the jump sound was awesome.
so weird. that's a fantastic. I love to see wacky ideas in LD!
very cute game! I was able to go off of the bottom of the screen and then pull my way across without running into any obstacles, and I was reunited with my lover!
I don't understand what's so exciting about this game? It's pretty much a normal day for me... eating space bacon and getting invaded by space pigs.
Just kidding, this is amazing.
I like the direction that was given to the player without the use of any words. well done!
this is just the best.
great idea! the relaxing music added to the experience, and I was thankful for the frequent checkpoints :)
I enjoyed the minigames and managed to get my population to survive a few times... I just wish I had a better idea of how my actions were influencing how I did!
Great idea! The first level is pretty brutally difficult, and the checkpoints were well placed.
very impressive! I love the compact level design all on one screen. the music and simple art style were fantastic. great work.
very sleek! the big grey ball really freaked me out the first time it launched at me :P
very sleek! I loved the simple gameplay, though I felt like I wasn't able to make very useful decisions about where to place my tiles, since I didn't know where a coin would spawn!
Beautiful. The spotlight and trail were well used to track the player, and seamlessly transferred to another character if mine was hit. I enjoyed the change of pacing with the flowers and enemies as the song went on, though 6 minutes still felt a little long. Fantastic work!
Fantastic work, and nice interpretation of the theme!
I really liked how the gameplay involved splitting my attention between my character and crystal room.
Adorable game! I love the absurdity of the concept, and it was very well executed. I spent most of my time swimming in circles while I identified the stars that were safe for my fish to eat.
Very adorable! I really enjoyed the design of the choices in the game- picking a die gives you just enough control of your movement to make it fun :)
Very cool! The concept was quite original. Great work.
Absolutely fantastic! The story is adorable, the gameplay is simple, and the graphics are great. I really loved the transitions between scenes. Great work :)
ADORABLE! Very thoughtful of you guys to include the ability to skip to the end :)
neat game! the snowmen were deliciously horrifying
Man, solving the worlds' hunger problem was easy!
This game made me feel really happy to help everyone out. Near as I could tell, I got everyone to a comfortable state. I would have loved for some visual indicator on the map to tell which planets still needed help :)
Also- while I appreciate the idea behind muting the music by default, I'd recommend enabling it. It's pretty great, show it off!
Funny, polished, beautiful, and entertaining. Amazing work!
Great work with the physics and presentation! I would have loved if the play area was a little less wide, so the game would play a little more quickly :)
That was really, really cute. I played through the whole thing and loved it. Fantastic work!
Awesome! Looks very polished. It was cool how the line could be used offensively and defensively. I would have loved some more powerups or harder enemies over time :)
The music really helped solidify the mood. Great work!
whooooooooooaaaaaaaa. Incredible!
Very cute! The simple gameplay works out quite well.
The art is really cute! Fun little game. I had much more luck killing aliens when I spawned as the cannon character :)
Very polished and a lot of fun. Great work!
Holy crap, that is awesome. Loved it!
hahaha, that was not easy. great work!
yes yes yes! this is so awesome :)
Man, this guy has the worst friends. I found the game to be strangely addicting... I eventually kicked everyone out around 4 am. Loved the presentation and art direction. Awesome work :)
Fantastic presentation! The sounds, graphics, and visual effects all go very well together.
amazing. that was great!
Fantastic presentation! Very beautiful. I wished I moved a little faster :)
Hahaha, great game! The theme was well-executied, and the characters had some awesome personalities and neat rooms. Awesome work.
Awesome! Took a few levels for the gameplay to really pick up, but it got pretty fun and crazy. I love how you worked the credits into the level :)
That was absolutely adorable. I loved it!
fantastic and well-executed! it was really fun to play and is a great use of the theme. awesome job :)
I'm super impressed by this! The mechanics work really well and the levels are well designed. Great work :)
loved it while it lasted!
I got excited when I saw the race options, and you delivered on the awesomeness. Fantastic work! The combat is great.
the gameplay was fun, if a little slow! I like the personalities you gave to the penguins :)
great presentation! very smooth and good gameplay.
This is an unbelievably amazing entry! The camera work and sound design are incredible, the pixel artwork is crisp, and the gameplay is stellar. Excellent work!
this is great! the presentation is done really well- the sound and art work well together.
controls were smooth and the gameplay was a lot of fun! it definitely took a few tries to be able to survive the entire duration of the game :)
oh man, this is amazing. awesome music!
I love everything about this game. The sound effects are amazing, and the concept is adorable. Fantastic work!
This is great! The two simple gameplay elements combine well to make a great experience
the ambiance here is fantastic! I loved how the walking sound was its own music.
this is some top-notch presentation. great work!
awesome idea! I love the concept of manipulating your enemies to fight for you :)
awesome! the gameplay was simple, yet quite a bit of fun. definitely had a few close calls, but I made it all the way to the end :)
very awesome! obviously, the soundtrack is superb :)
very cute! I was impressed with how the instructions were integrated into the game world.
very cool! the art direction is pretty great. I definitely enjoyed making dozens of copies of myself >:)
oh man this is awesome! very polished and entertaining. well done!
this is fantastic! the storytelling was very evocative and the environment was very pretty. awesome work :)
this is amazing. very creative! the presentation is fantastic, and the game is hilarious.
super awesome! the concept, art, and music are great, and the gameplay is very entertaining. very polished!
awesome ambiance! the gameplay is simple and fun, and I love the clean graphics.
holy crap this is awesome. love the intro! the game is so absurd... it is fantastic
this is fantastic! so many marios! the game is entertaining, fun, and very pretty. music is awesome too. great work :)
great work! the level designs were pretty clever
this is amazing! everything works well- the music and art are fantastic and the game is super fun. the apologies were by far the best part, couldn't stop smiling :)
great aesthetic and music! the gameplay is pretty unique, well done!
hahaha, this is great! this is why I love ludum dare <3
absolutely adorable! the music and art direction were great. I played all of the way through to the end. the jumping mechanic is pretty unique, and I thought it worked pretty well. I just wish I didn't have to completely restart each time I died!
sooo cute! loved it!
great simple design! the sound and visual effects did an awesome job of making the falling stage feel impactful. highest I was able to get as 9m :)
great game! it was quite fun. the trickiest rows were the one that had three different colors in them. I was able to get 655 points :)
great art, and the mechanics work well! would love to see more :)
a brief but well-made experience! I loved the aesthetic, and the gameplay mechanic was pretty neat. well done :)
cute art, and nice simple gameplay! that's a creepy concept, though :P
I enjoyed playing this quite a bit. :) controlling the planes felt very fun and tactical. it was sometimes difficult to tell which enemies were still alive, so I'd often spend some time at the end of the wave to try to find what I had missed. great work!
hooray, I won! really neat mechanic, and the controls were nice and simple :)
The drifting mechanic was a lot of fun to play with, and the gear mechanic ended up working really well! I do wish there was a little more margin for error in the levels- it was really tricky to even barely finish on time!
very pretty and atmospheric! I particularly enjoyed rolling around the enemies as the fox. great work :)
hahaha, it's pretty great for what it is. very unique and pretty!
what a cool game! I ended up making some really great ambient sounds, and I enjoyed modulating my shape.
I will note that the game would repeatedly freeze on me- it seemed to happen mostly when my projectile was near an entity. I tried both windows 32 and 64 bit on a Windows 7 machine.
neat little world! it's pretty and simple
Haha, I loved it! what an absurd and entertaining experience. I liked kicking the ball around as a dinosaur :)
very beautiful. loved the simplicity.
what a neat concept! the gameplay was very original and the art style was very pretty. well done :)
game is short, but you knew that. :) I always like exploration-based games, and this is no exception! the experience is very pretty and surreal.
Really cool idea. It's quirky and fun, and I enjoyed it. Great work!
Really awesome. The game is super polished, and it's fund and succinct without being frustrating. Fantastic work!
The music and visual effects put a smile on my face. :) I had a lot of fun rebuilding the universe. It's a really bright and enjoyable game.
Yeah, this is great. :) Solid overall presentation, awesome music that fits well, and the puzzles are really engaging. Great job!
I'm really glad I found this game. It's incredibly moody, in a wonderfully bleak way. Great work.
Really great idea. The concept is unique and the level design is a lot of fun. Great work!
What a delightfully weird idea. I really liked it, and it was a pretty great experience! The visual effects were cool.
This was really atmospheric. I really liked how abstract a lot of the interactions were. Great job!
Very, very cute! I really enjoyed it. The hint system was useful, as was the walkthrough. Great work!
I absolutely loved it- I couldn't stop playing until I had solved all of the puzzles. It's very elegantly put together, is very self contained, and lets the puzzles explain themselves. Awesome work, and thanks for the great experience!
(edit: accidental duplicate comment that I can't delete :sweat_smile:)
Simple and fun, I enjoyed watching the world come together as I combined everything. Also looks great and the music was sweet. Great work!
That was really, really touching. Thank you.
Definitely challenging, but rewarding to beat it! I liked how each iteration of the level intentionally took away the "easy" way to beat it, forcing you to find another solution.
As others have mentioned, the color presentation is pretty awesome. The game left me wanting more!
Cute, fun, and exactly as long as it needs to be. Great job!
This is super charming. The idea is simple but the presentation is awesome. Great work!
Really neat idea. Busting up the letters was fun, even if I could restart as much as I wanted. Played through all the levels, and had a lot of fun figuring out(and sometime brute forcing) the answers. Great work!
Very soothing. Great presentation and great idea. :)
Really great! The sound effects made me laugh, they worked really well with the art style and music. The tractor beam mechanic was super interesting and made for some really fun and interesting gameplay. Loved it!
Super super charming. I absolutely loved the whole thing. Great writing, music, art, and overall vibe. Fantastic work!
I made it to the end! Really great idea, great aesthetic and fun and original gameplay. I love your take on the theme. XD Awesome work.
Really neat presentation! I actually quite liked the tiny default resolution, it really makes the pixel art look great; you've got so much going on in the foreground and background. The pressure between keeping the fire alive and going out to deal with the bomb makes for some interesting gameplay, though the train felt a little long at times. Music is great and fitting as well. Great work!
Really enjoyed the puzzle elements baked into the boss fight; even in the compo version I had a lot of fun controlling the character and was able to beat the game! The music could probably have used a bit of variety. Great work!
Really fun typing game! The vaporwave style is a great fit, and I loved typing 'play' to start the game.
This was so cute, I really loved it. We got all 3 wishes! :smile:
Really fun and silly, great work! I loved the 2d art on the 3d environment.
Super trippy, and really fun as well. I was intentionally hitting all of the red obstacles because dodging the holes was great. It was a super cool moment looping around the torus the first time and realizing I needed to deal with the holes from the previous time around. Great work!
I really enjoyed it! I actually loved how your own bullets damaged the lighthouse; I had to be strategic in my aiming my shots. Great work. :)
Really cute and fun, loved the concept! Great job.
Holy cow, the vibe is so GOOD. You really really nailed the atmosphere with the visual effects and the audio, and it's just as long as it needs to be. Fantastic job!
I really enjoyed figuring this one out, and eventually made it all the way to the end! The game design is pretty clever- you have to figure out the core mechanics right away to use the shovel, then you have a lot of breathing room to explore the world, and the final run requires you to fully understand what's going to happen to make pretty precise moves.
Great work!
The aesthetic and presentation were fantastic. Loved it.
Really well-made game. The dialogue is entertaining and the random events are fun and interesting, and the minimal yes/no gameplay is really clever. I had a lot of fun getting to the end, I just barely scraped by!
Phenomenal atmosphere, the music and sound effects (especially the different fire sounds) were really good and immersive. I loved the simple gameplay loop to stoke the fire enough to move to the next 'tier' of wood. Loved the concept, really great work!
The upbeat vibe and wacky concept had me grinning the whole time. Great work!
Absolutely superb. Super fun, original, and funny. Great work!
Really loved the graphics! Super cute game, the mechanics are really simple but I had fun managing it all. I got up to 82 points. :) Great work!
Heads up for anyone who is confused on how to start, there's an arrow you can click in the bottom right of the screen! arrow.png
The minimalist presentation works really well, it really does look great! The subdued lighting, music, and sfx worked well together to great a great atmosphere. I enjoyed playing it quite a bit. Great work!
Really cute! Super original idea and really fun to play. Great work.
Really impressive job. The visual quality is incredible, and the gameplay is really fun. Great work!
Super super cute and very original. Great idea and execution! I loved it.
I enjoyed this quite a bit! It's not super challenging- it was easy enough to drag one person away to keep just one alive if I wanted, but I really liked how there were a bunch of different ways to win as well. Herding everyone to try to save them all was a lot of fun. Great work!
Loooooved it. Fantastic atmosphere and presentation. The ambient sounds really helped set the mood. Great work!
What an incredibly charming game! Super original idea, and I love the aesthetic. It took some trial and error to figure out how to play (the door outside was pretty small; I almost missed it), but once I got going the gameplay loop was super satisfying. It eventually had me laughing out loud near the end. Great work!
