Here is my participation to the 33rd edition of Ludum Dare ! In this puzzle game, you are an evil creature living in a cave. Some explorers want to take pictures of you but you can't allow it. That's why you are going to kill them all before they get out of the cave.
Some mechanics include hitting someone, throwing its body on other explorers or creating a shock wave that will make stalactites fall. The game is a mix of reflection and good timing. There are 14 levels. I wish I had time to make more but I had no time.
Don't hesitate to comment my game :) !
EDIT : It seems that the Linux version doesn't work, if anyone has a problem with it, please let me know.
An interesting puzzle game, but the difficulty is tuned to be way too hard. You need to be absolutely perfect in order to just beat the level.
I'd recommened lowering the difficulty and creating a rating system for each level, rewarding for doing well, and not punishing for not doing absolutely perfect.
The graphics are decent, and the theme is pretty fun and innovative. I think that with some more work done it might be a fun game.
Dodging the tennis balls or bullets is quite difficult, but it's really cool to come up with a own strategy on how to solve the puzzle.
Also I found it really cool that you can basically pick everything up and throw it! One thing that somehow irks me are the controls. They are ok I think but if you get hasty you just press everything and hope to kill everyone haha. Good job!
Great, great puzzle game! I had a good time with this one.
Almost perfect compo game. Just need some adjustments on the difficulty curve, make it more gradually increasing. Level 5, for instance, is way more difficult than the following levels.
But that's hard to adjust in 48 hours. So, I think its ok! :) Congratulations!
Fun puzzle game that got pretty hard at times, but I never felt like it was impossible, good flow. If there were more levels I would defiantly play them. The earthquake is OP.

Nice game with an interesting concept and challenging gameplay.
Tricky puzzler, which does not look as such at the beginning. This is interesting. I plus to what Crypto137 said about the difficulty, though. I liked how you introduce new mechanics and objects level by level and then reuse them. And the fact that the tasks of the level are bite-sized: nothing complicated, everything is simple to understand (but way difficult to perform at times).
I first thought it would be a fighting/rampage game, but it quickly turned out to be a pretty clever puzzle game with an interesting take of the theme. Kinda subtle after all. I felt the speed of my character was a bit slow but still okay. Appreciated the Throw mecanics which takes a very cool part in resolving puzzles. Nice work!
Really neat game, love the different ways to kill the people! I included it in part 6 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/keaznjOtLXA
Fun and innovative game and fits the theme very well. However you've made the levels very difficult and it takes many tries to get it right. I had to play a few times to see where the explorers would head or to throw things perfectly. This should be somewhat easier. Other than that it's a fun idea for a game.
Some of the puzzles seem to hard but the game is interesting and fun Btw i found a way to cheat the game kill everyone on one side then go forever to the other side and use attack always since the levels do let you move out of the camera view
Very enjoyable puzzle game. There were moments where the difficulty seemed to ramp up a lot, but those tended to be the "time to lean a new move" moments (like jumping or doing the sonic boom in a jump instead of when falling), which is where you want your difficulty bumps. Different type of puzzle game and I enjoyed being able to throw anything on the screen.
