Amazing man!! Nice arts and sounds. I really liked it .. gj
Absulutelly loved it! The concept is good, the gameplay is good, the levels are well designed, the learning curve is smooth!
Thank you for playing! glad you enjoyed it :D
Note for second player if using keyboard (WASD and I and O for buttons are the controls)
Posted a new version specifically for windows - Mac and Linux version coming shortly. Has multi-player support and slight touch ups to almost all levels. Purposely we posted it as a second file so as not to replace our game jam entry. (The cross platform Jar is the original game jam entry).
Amazing. Graphics and audio are really nice.
Thanks!
really enjoyed it! Very goo game!
Thank you ! glad you enjoyed it :D
Here's a better time I did- I think just under 15 minutes is do-able.
If anyone is playing get's stuck- we have a series of walkthrough videos posted:

Finally beat the full game. With the time crunch I never personally finished all the levels together myself-and I actually never fully completed stage 5- Kyperbelt- those last two levels were hard! About 85 of the 94 deaths were the final two levels!
Here was my time/deaths.
haha i tried to go for speed and i ended up dying a lot more than i wanted to
What a beautiful game! The graphics are pretty and I love the sound of the brain crawling around on its little feet.
Thanks!
Thank you very much :)
Nice! Very original
Thank you :)
I get a "SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00000000, pid=11824, tid=0x6f778b40" on a ubuntu 32 bit with JDK 8...
Too bad, the screenshots look nice :-)
I'll see if we can't find an ubuntu machine to test on. We've tested on Mac and Windows - but not on linux desktop- however we're using LibGDX cross platform game engine (open source), so I was hopeful it might just work (always test, ha!)
I ran it on Ubuntu 17.10, 64 bit with OpenJDK 1.8 and it worked like a charm. Can I help testing somehow?
The fact that it worked is interesting - so it does run on some linux builds then which is good! Two main differences I see is OpenJDK and 64 bit.
Wow man, this is amazing. I love the way this game plays, the sound also adds to the mood. MY favorite game so far. Did you create your own art ?
Thanks! Yes- we did do the art - we have an artist as part of the team- he always does great stuff! Also Village Sound in Halifax did the music and sound effects for the game. I agree - I think the music fit the game really well- and the brain squishy sound worked out really well.
Great work on this. A proper platformer/puzzle game that you can sink your teeth into. The controls took some getting used to for me, but I had a blast with it all the same. Maybe I'll make it to the end one of these days!
When playing on a Mac - if you can't launch the Jar (security warning) - hold down control key and right click on the file to select open. This will give you the option to run the game.
Press ESC, Q or T on keyboard / (Menu button on Xbox controller) to self destruct and restart the level- useful when you get stuck!
Arrow keys to move. X to jump. Space bar or "C" to have your brain exit the current Cyborg. Jump onto a Cyborg with your brain to take control of the Cyborg.
A few bugs have been found post submission...in general restarting the game seems to fix them- just remember to hit continue when you restart if you run into a bug.
Game counts your deaths and time as you complete it (and saves your progress). Anyone who completes- post an image of your victory screen ;)
