GenericMan was a happy video game character...
But then he was trapped into a single screen by the Evil Ludum Dare theme. Help GenericMan fight the theme and free himself from The Box.

Nice puzzler. The control mechanics were sometimes hard (manipulating multiple robots) but I quite enjoyed it :)

Good work on the puzzle design. The characters where sometimes hard to control though.

Cool game. You actually managed to get quite a lot of mechanics in the game! Though it is very unpolished though.

Perhaps it's me, but the game doesn't seem to be working in the windows version, looks cool though.

Canon level took some time, love this simple puzzle platformer, one of my favorite kinds of games!

I had some troubles with the robots glitching into walls, the cannon didn't seem to fire for me, and sometimes the level was pushed off to the left a bit.

Other than these, I got through some nice introductory puzzler levels.

Enjoyable puzzle game. Will have to come back to play more. Well done.

The game didn't fit on my screen (ironic, considering the theme).. I managed to play it a bit anyway. I love the concept. Would love to see a cleaned-up version.

good little game for everyone. Liked the evil

Good level design/pacing -- the first few levels worked well as a tutorial.

The in-game button controls are a great idea but I found them hard to keep straight.

Amusing graphics and story :-)

The mechanic of controlling two things at once with different controls was pretty neat. I get the feeling you didn't care for this theme much. :P

not exactly on one screen but i guess making fun of the theme counts as using it? sorta?

Nice puzzles! Keep it up!

A bit unpolished, and sometimes the physics seemed a bit odd, but a really clever concept! Plays really well for 72 hours :)

I like the way the levels are set up. The canons were difficult at times. Like the shit talk on the theme.

Very interesting puzzle game!

nice puzzles, liked how the blocks came in and out during the transitions.

Nice puzzles! Felt a bit like Portal at times. Seems like you've got the right idea with developing the systems but the polish and the sequencing of the levels could use some more work. Cool stuff though

I've learned something about myself: I will give full humor points to games that whine about the theme. :)

The puzzle design was solid. If you polish it up, let me know.

So lovely graphics!
Ossi29 Dec 2014, 18:07
Very simple and very cool puzzle game! I liked the complexity of controlling the multiple robots. It did feel a bit weird how the controls were mapped to the keyboard, sorta felt like playing twister with my fingers haha! Well done!

Fun puzzler. You really should polish the graphics though.
