Had to drop half or more of the game as I wouldn't have finished it in time just to get something "playable" which means that the stuff that is there doesn't really match the theme at all (was supposed to be story based)

Expect plenty of bugs and a short game if you're lucky enough to finish it w/o facing any of the show stoppers.

- Getting stuck seems like a perfect theme for this

- Games source code (and basically everything else) is awful.. so don't use it as a good example on how to get things done. Don't even bother checking it unless you're super curious about how something 'works' (>_<);

Got stuck at the top of snake boss, considering it was your first LD, good job.

Thanks, too bad that I ended up rushing it like this.. :(

This game is big, it takes forever to load. Short but sweet, I like those floppy textures.

Very nice especially for a first timer - an unexpectedly creepy and atmospheric journey. The ambient sound is great and I didn't encounter any bugs. The controls during the snake boss are a bit of a challenge but apparently I'm awesome :)

Managed to die within attacking distance of the snake so I could spam him with damage whilst dead!

Would be nice to have more control in the scrolling section, perhaps require the player to jump to avoid some obstacles?

The first dare is always the hardest! You made the right decision to drop content in favour of completing the game loop. It's better to have a short game than an incomplete one.

ah right, I forgot to put up a game over screen (>_<)

I like how it switches mode at the snake boss. Interesting concept. I would like to see it more developed.

Got stuck twice - in snake fight and in gray void ^^. Also, what is the point of using spacebar attack earlier if nothing happens either way? :D. Anyway, cool mood :)

Cool game. Felt pretty weird after playing it for a bit. That's good, right? :D

Congratulation for your first LD, this game is more awesome than it seems I really liked it. Keep doing good job and don't listen to naysayers

Haha I love the graphics, really got a unique feel to them :)
You should make it longer, I'd love to play a finished version of this! :)

Some of your assets are absolutely gorgeous, particularly the avatar. And I did finish the game :) Good job.

Got stuck in space... can't move. I didn't really get the concept of the game, though +1 for rainbows! ;)

Crazy game %)
I lost control in space.

Nice graphics and audio. The game stopped responding to the wasd keys after that I got to the space snake.
Thanks for the Linux build.

I got stuck as i puked rainbows on the snake boss. The rock golem guys seemed to turn invisible, but I managed to shoot them or maybe they dissapeared. Good for a first try, on my first try, we lost all the files and didn't finish :o :P
