At first I just played the game, and found it a little frustrating, but after reading the author's advice it was a much more enjoyable experience, as a sort of galactic sightseeing/slow motion katamari. And, of course, Carl Sagan.
Working in 3D on the web can be challenging, but you pulled off a fun experience. I think it's more fun playing in a short time period (10s or so). As with all things WebGL, it seems to perform best in Chrome.
Fun stuff, I like the controls, they remind me of that old game Abuse that I love. I was confused on the first play through because I couldn't find any enemies, btu once I figured it out it was really fun to blast away at the little buggers. Parts of it are tricky!
Very fun evading the mom character, quite difficult too! Good stuff.
Love the general aesthetic, and the music + sfx + feeling of looking through the scope makes for an eerie experience. I made it to level 5, but couldn't beat it after a bunch of tries, too tricky! I don't quite get how it relates to the theme, since you can take multiple shots in some levels, but it was fun anyways.
It's great to see some non-traditional games in here, I'd love to see more games using basic HTML components; I think that kind of restriction forces you to be creative. I like the concept of this game a lot too, unfortunately I found it really, really difficult, even on the easy settings. Maybe I'm dumb, but I could only solve about half of the easy ones, and it took me a while. It would be cool if they started out being *really* simple, and slowly got harder so I could work my way up. Good job!
Clean and fun, more than I expected at first! I like the sounds especially. I was a bit confused by a couple little bugs (only one clears at a time, not able to re-choose after selected one block to place), but picked it up pretty quickly. Are the chinese (?) characters relevant too? Or are do they just indicate the color?
That black thing startled the crap out of me. Great sense of place with the rain and lantern. The lights turned pink when they were off, though? Overall fun stuff.
Floor 14, 33 aliens, fun stuff!
Cool stuff, I particularly like the idea of navigating by the stars, though I can't say I got familiar enough with the constellations to do it. Is there a way to not die? Fun just to spin around the globe and smush guys anyways.
Audio also didn't work for me, and I'm using Chrome.
Great game, love the unique mechanic (different from similar things I've seen before) and it's very well implemented. Have to say it's the first game I've played here that made me consider the nature of the space-time continuum, so that's gotta be worth some extra credit.
I like the mechanic a lot; resizing based on pick-ups reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and could be a really good foundation for a puzzle game in the way that bigger = larger jump size, but less able to fit through gaps. Good stuff!
Very fun, and gorgeous pixel art. I couldn't make it to the end, must have died ten times on the rockets that come down vertically. Would love to see what came next though, the screen shot that looks like above ground is teasing me!
I have to say playing this was one of the most pleasant experiences I've had yet. The physics feel right, and there's a decent amount of variety in the obstacles. I like the way the previous levels are "behind" the current one too. Good job!
Fantastic art. It's a little too easy to pick up things by accident, but I suppose that's part of the challenge. The general mood is great, adding some calm music + little sfx would really take it to the next level. Love the background effect too. (Also your kid's off to a great early start)
The music & graphics set up the mood really nicely, and the gameplay is fun. I wish it was more clear which magnet you'd be attracted to when there are a lot of them out there, but I beat the whole game and enjoyed it. Cute character art too!
Awesome art, music, feel, and concept. The gameplay is simple, but enough to give me a solid giggle, and play through it three times. The insults are great.
Extremely well executed, and I like the subversion of the "choice" mechanic. The flip side of that is that it lacks the hallmark of my favorite works of IF, which is the feeling that you're in control of the narrative. Still, a powerful work and awesome to see a more experimental work succeed in LD.
Great job, not a bad way to spend a weekend, huh?
I get an error that the page contains a "redirect loop" when I try to download the OS X build. Would love to give it a shot, let me know if it's back up!
The link works now! Very cool concept (for a nerdy audience at least), and a great use of the theme. The fast movement makes it really tricky, but I still played a bunch of rounds (didn't quite beat it though).
I wasn't able to download the OS X version from the link here, but the link on your site worked. The basic gameplay has something to it (classic evasion is always fun) but could use some additional obstacles, or some layer on top. I like the sprites quite a bit though, give it a nice whimsical flavor.
I love the general feeling of the game, like I'm in a meme-ified hand-drawn mario. The different upgrades are well-implemented too, though anyone who picks something other than kitteh needs their head examined.
The mechanic is well implemented; when you get a few good ones in a row it feels very satisfying, but the presentation doesn't give quite enough context for players unfamiliar with polish notation. The nature of polish notation means that operators on the right side of the board are unusable, which makes it tough to keep a streak going. Still, by far the most fun I've had with polish notation, and a more than worthwhile experience.
Really nice use of physics with the chain/grabber thing, feels very fluid and fun to fly around with. I wish there was a little bit more to do with it, but I'm having a lot of fun just flying around. I spent wayyyy too much time trying to grab a turkey!
Cool mechanic, hampered a little bit by the physics. Fun stuff though and could easily add a lot more levels!
Really like this one. The spy vs. spy aesthetic is great, and the silhouettes are animated in a way that gives them a lot of character. The gameplay is also very fun, gives you a little bit of a ninja feeling hopping around and shanking these guys. I wish you could knife someone before you use your gun, though, so you can save the shot for a tougher opponent to reach. The green level is really hard!
One bug: the level after the green level, where an enemy spawns semi-randomly in the level after you kill each one gets stuck for me about halfway through, so I can't beat it.
