Begind the scene:

- Finished in 17 hours. Direct recorded

Sorry for not adding audio or music, the time was very precious and I did not have time. Please, do not value this against, since I removed the music section to the game.

It has been very fun to make a game in such a short time. I have taken as reference games like "bubble bobble" that are played at a resolution of 256x224 and I have created the game with that base.

The idea occurred to me in just 20 minutes and from then on I started recording live to have the progress forever.

I hope you like it and do not abuse "ASD" at the same time!

really good job on the visuals. fun but challenging, maybe missing a deeper theme connection? (not that I'm one to talk) :eye:

Well done! It even has a tutorial session! Gameplay is already complete and well tuned. Though I find that always pressing asd at the same time can work hehehe. Impressive that everything is done in 17 hrs. My game also borrow some concept from tetris!

Great job! The idea is well executed. Although doesn't have sounds, the game itseft is enjoyable. It remind me to the little games that I use to play back in the '90. A lot of fun getting high scores and combos. Congrats!

fun game. would be even better if there is more juice, screenshake, etc as well as audio

Akscan4 Dec 2017, 07:17

Very fun, thanks! But heath of creature don't visible on box. Maybe turn it on the top of game screen, with score counter?

NexusBreaker4 Dec 2017, 07:45

The game is pretty good I like the graphicstyle and the polish of the game, you hit the theme well. The tutorial is really nice.

This was really fun to play. Mechanics are easy to learn and practice makes you better at the game, which is an important factor for an arcade game.

Fun, but damn it this is hard ! :D
Love it :)

pcmxms4 Dec 2017, 21:24

Great entry, really cool mechanics. Congrats!

Really great! I love this concept. SFX and music would really put it over the top. I also noticed that you can just hit all three keys at the same time, so maybe only allow one at a time? Would just have to hit them in quick succession.

Congrats for this entry! Its a really enjoyable game, only I miss music/fxs so hard... It'd be really awesome but... Well, it's a game jam, somethimes we have to priorize because of the little time.
So again, congrats! Really addictive game! :D

Cool entry! I love this nes graphic style

adsilcott6 Dec 2017, 15:24

Great game! Clever mechanics. challenging and fun. Put some sound in this and put it online-- I'd play it :)

Very nice idea, very nice execution, responsive controls and nice graphics. Amazing job for less than 1 day of work! :)

Nivbeth6 Dec 2017, 15:35

Game is good, but I had the feeling that the laser doesn't always works although I hit that boxes very often o_O But nice concept and good job

Josef212966 Dec 2017, 15:49

Very cool idea!! This is an incredible game and I reallylove the art and end animation. Congratulations for the game :)

Fabio Guedes6 Dec 2017, 16:02

Very cool! Really love the retro feel it has, had me feeling a bit of nostalgia! Keep up the good work!

Ithildin6 Dec 2017, 17:23

Great idea, with amazing graphics and a lot of polish overall. You already mentioned it, but with some retro sound and music you would have nailed it. I hope you can continue working on it, it has a lot of potencial.

Great job!

simonhutchinson7 Dec 2017, 03:06

Very cool. This is a sophisticated little game, mashing up a bunch of different existing tropes into a new, orignal whole.

It needs music!

i really like the concept of this game - i think it could be a good idea - graphics were very good and mechanics were solid - nice work

I think I am to stupid for this game. But hey at least a few blocks got destroyed. And the poor octo got just one on his head.

mainghia9513 Dec 2017, 08:55

The graphic style reminds me of the old NES games. It's a solid plus. But the lack of audio makes it less enjoyable and "mood-breaker-ish". You can improve the feedback of the game by screenshake or something more impressive I think. Anw great entry. Check out our game in my profile. Cheer mate

dvdfu13 Dec 2017, 15:57

Great entry! I found the gameplay really compelling, and there were a ton of great visual details that impressed me (like the bars highlighting as blocks pass them, so on).

Sylver_Kovy18 Dec 2017, 18:42

Game is very well done for a game made in 17 hours the graphics style is a bit old, but I sense that's what you were going for congrats.

csanyk19 Dec 2017, 05:08

The graphics are fantastic, they take me right back to the 1982-4 era arcade. Finish it up with some sounds, it will be worth it!

Benjamin Bos23 Dec 2017, 21:01

Absolutely stunning graphics, i had lots of fun playing!

HacksawUnit26 Dec 2017, 17:51

Wow, what a cool inventive entry! I like how there are lots of little wrinkles in this for those aiming for a high score. I love the graphical style, and want to give a special shout out to the game over animation, very juicy. Great work!
