I'd focus on fixing the feel of the controls first, there's way too much inertia when moving around. Some sound effects could also do a lot for the game. I like the music though.

A decent game, controls feel a bit wonky in my opinion. Still a nice little game, just would need a bit more work.

I couldn't figure out how to kill a monster, though I did suck up a lot of furniture.

Chores have never been this epic :)

The controls are a bit touchy, but other than that I like the suction mechanic :)

I like the idea of having to manage ammo like this, unfortunately the controls made it very difficult for me. Good start!

Nice game but needs more work, it can be really better !

Thanks for the feedback guys :).
I will work on it on my free time to polish it, and put it on Game Jolt after the judging end.
I also feel that I could have make this game a bit more complete but hey it's playable, it got a Start&End
and it's a prototype and that's what Ludum Dare is all about!

Please make port for Linux! (and while you're at it, probably make one for Mac as well ;) )

Good job! Interesting idea, and I loved the sound and especially the particle effects. It was kind of hard at first to distinguish what the different shapes represented, but the game was a lot of fun when I figured it out!

wasn't sure what i was doing at first, but once i figured it out, i really enjoyed it! it had really interesting and fun game mechanics. i do think you should continue developing it, it's great proof of concept.

I couldn't quite sense the mood of the game, as it was put together in a fairly abstract manner. I didn't find it necessarily funny, but it has a clever premise. I think there is a very innovative game brewing in here, and that you owe yourself a pat on the back for that. (:

nice music, controls could be a bit smoother :)

Controls are a bit awkward but the concept is pretty cool and I love how well you've fleshed out the sucking/shooting mechanics.

Liked the music, as others have said the controls could feel a little snappier. The mechanics are pretty solid, overall I enjoyed it!
