Your game is awesome! I especially like the graphics. :thumbsup:

GibsS7 Oct 2019, 23:24

Great concept, couldn't find the bomb though

James Beningerauthor7 Oct 2019, 23:25

@gibss Thanks for the feedback. I've added a link to a walkthrough for all the tasks.

starvingindie7 Oct 2019, 23:28

This is straight up fun! I like the reversal of the theme where you're gradually taking away things until there's nothing. I love that everything in the world can be interacted with and it all some physics properties to it.

@james-beninger just played this game and thought "well this is the best one yet" and then saw you were credited at the end and remembered you'd said the same about our game. No word of a lie, serendipidity. Amazing job, aesthetic, concept, enjoyment, humour, polish, absolute 10/10.

Jackaraia8 Oct 2019, 02:10

I had a very fun time search out the things I could do in this game. I missed on of the objectives in the long run, but I don't mind. Finding out the ways everything interacted with was very fun.

Nithin8 Oct 2019, 02:22

I love the little jokes in there. Very fun to explore all the possibilities and watching the physics which was delightful.

scalliondelight8 Oct 2019, 03:05

inverse katamari -- smart

Seth Marx8 Oct 2019, 04:19

This is a wonderful concept and executed to perfection. Thank your for granting me the pleasure!

paulhocker8 Oct 2019, 04:27

very clever -- high marks for using the theme -- thanks for making this

mao8 Oct 2019, 05:07

I have achieved nothing! You, on the other hand, achieved something by making this game.

Will F8 Oct 2019, 05:48

Great little game, loved the humour and art!

Compasslg8 Oct 2019, 06:28

The game looks great and very funny! I think there is a bug where when I click the character avatar on the top-left screen and then click any text there, the game went black screen.

Still, good job! The music and art style are simple but great!

SKDF8 Oct 2019, 11:02

So simple yet so fun. Finally a polished game in LD!

WhatNameGames8 Oct 2019, 13:31

Love it. My favourite so far, everything is great, love the art and the sounds. The humour is great, everything, again, is great. Definitely aiming for something as complete as this next time.

TheJebForge8 Oct 2019, 13:34

I didn't understood first how to play the game, but after I did, it was pretty fun! Gives so much of old games vibes!

citsua8 Oct 2019, 15:14

I loved it. Really polished and fun.

mathemagician8 Oct 2019, 16:03

Had a bit of a tough time getting into it and figuring out what to do, but very enjoyable once I realised what I was doing.

I couldn't figure out how to open up the tasks menu since tapping tab didn't seem to work, but that might have had something to do with my (admittedly extremely weird) keyboard layout?

James Beningerauthor8 Oct 2019, 16:16

@mathemagician I haven't had any trouble with tab working. What's your keyboard layout? It's doubtful we'll fix it in this version, but I'd love to know if there's something broken that we could fix for next time.

mathemagician8 Oct 2019, 16:19

@james-beninger I take it back, it seems to work fine. I was playing on the web and I think I somehow managed to unfocus the game so my keypresses weren't captured, and clicking back on it didn't seem to re-focus it? Probably nothing to worry about.

FcValise8 Oct 2019, 22:45

Maybe my favorite ! :)

NachtWitch9 Oct 2019, 00:51

I hate doing Sprite work,.so mad Respect.for making a 2d game, absolutely stunning game

Guardaro9 Oct 2019, 01:50

I worked hard to finish this one. Not so for most.

Twelvoo9 Oct 2019, 05:21

I like your idea so much! One of my favorite!

oskanberg9 Oct 2019, 09:48

This is fantastic. Such a fun mechanic! It reminded me of a lo-fi comedic version of Hitman Sniper Challenge in the way that replaying is build in to the challenge.

Grangerer9 Oct 2019, 16:04

Really liked it. Great concept and execution

Annie Owl9 Oct 2019, 16:16

Fun puzzle game! I've enjoyed figuring out the ways to achieve all the different tasks that the main character has, and the jokes very well made too :smile:

reneantunes9 Oct 2019, 16:21

Thanks for streaming it @annie-owl!

Pedro Rosa9 Oct 2019, 22:40

Interesting and fun game. I played for a lot of time trying to understand all the interactions. Good job it's a nice game.

CommanderVander10 Oct 2019, 23:20

This was a very fun game! Not sure if there is an extra reward for 100%, but I couldn't find one and that's the one thing that would make a great game just that much better. I really love this game though!

walaber11 Oct 2019, 14:32

one of the most fun I've played in the jam! great job!

Vaibho12 Oct 2019, 05:53

A game with nice graphics and nice concept. I liked it. Nice work.

Enzo_B12 Oct 2019, 13:05

Nice idea ! :D

coatline14 Oct 2019, 21:45

Funny idea! I liked the game overall and how you almost had a riddle game because you had to try to figure out what the tasks meant and how to complete them. That was a very fun part to the game. I just couldn't figure out how in the world to change the channel! :tv: I liked the way you took the theme and thought of a funny way to use it to make a game. Great entry.

jk500022 Oct 2019, 07:55

An interesting and really funny little game. Well done.

Jupiter_Hadley22 Oct 2019, 14:58

nice graphics, fun little game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/zqhSjSyg75I

Brilliant game! :medal:
