shouldve used never gonna give you up for music
Haha I had a similar idea, but totally that's a great idea! ^^
Great music and visuals! But w/o "video tutorial" the gameplay is very complex.
And maybe the UI can be made more comfort - give possibility to use the keyboard and mouse in one time
Thank you for playing!
I feel enlightened! Great game, really funny ,fun, good gameplay, good music, good visuals! 10/10!
Haha!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Glad you enjoyed it.
+1 for the memes. But more seriously, I feel like there's actually a lot of story potential behind examining various species to determine their acceptance to the tree of life.
Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it!
Revolutionary game mechanics! I managed a score of -330 on my first try.
I don't think I've ever played a game that would teach me such life lessons!
5 out of 4 stars - must go back and watch the how to play. ;)
Haha!
Well it would not be the best game in the universe if you could not get a negative score lol.
Normally I would make more accessible and easy to understand games for a jam, but hell, this is ABSORBIUS after all!
yes, it's important to understand how the game works to win.
haha nice trippy visuals :D I found tutorial a bit long tho
Glad you enjoyed it!
With the limited time, I really did not have time to optimize the tutorial as I wanted to.
I think you need the given information to be able to play.
Do you believe less explanation is necessary, and the player will figure it out by himself?
Fun game with a little bit of funk! will try to get the world record higher up
Hey, you really got world record up a lot!
Skorbius got a mad record, too!
Are you Skorbius??
No, skorbius is a friend of mine that helped with my game submission, but i got the world record back!
all the top empty records where me too,
Round 3 gets difficulty up quite alot, so im unsure how much further i can go
Wow, you broke the 13000 barrier!
You and your friend are probably the best two gamers I've ever met!
Congrats and thanks for playing so hard on it!
I seriously doubt that I could beat that myself!
Only one thing: I know that both you and your friend could improve your score by at least 1200 points. But you'd have to be a bit sneaky to do that. I cannot tell you more than that.
Yes, for now stage 3 is probably impossible.
I already improved the controls to make it much easier in the game project.
And the plan is something around: add 1 or 2 more stages of rising difficulty between stage 2 and 3.
And the final stage 3 (or 5 at that point) might get a bit less intense as well.
I also had a cool idea for producing special abilities which would make it possible to beat current stage 3, let's see.
I'll post an updated version in 4 days.
Sounds good, ill check out the updated version once you release it, and keep on trying my hand on stage 3 atm, even if its impossible, see how far i can get in.
also found out where the information for 1200 points lies, but cant figure out the 1000 part :P
It would be nice if you could check out and rate my game submission too if you haven't already!
So got past 14k points now which is nice i think.
Omg, 15170! That's insane!
You're an absolute mad lad!
You're the frikkin' GOAT of this game!
I might as well call this game 'Skunkynation' haha.
I was a bit absent these days.
So yes, absolutely, I will play your game and rate it before the deadline!
Somehow I thought I had already played it oops!
200 points: read behind the lines
1000 points: ctrl + a
you gotta be somewhat a detective for that.
yes i did find the 2 hidden clues. but the 1000 riddle is a little to vague for me yet.
Riddle? Clue?
Now I have no idea what you're talking about.
I will remove some of your previous lower scores to unclutter the leaderboard a bit, after all your brave attempts!
seems good, also new score again just now haha, i think ill actually break 15 k without the myths
you ARE the myth and the legend
Haha I love the little ARG type of thing you had going on with the secret information. I promise not to tell anyone :)
(--SHUSH--)
Hmm, I wish I knew what you were talking about. There never was a secret information, never will be. The 'secret information' is just a myth, a legend. But it's not real.
Glad you enjoyed it! ;)
And congrats for currently holding the world record!
Thanks! Hopefully I can hold onto it for a while
Let's see! For now you're still holding it! :)
Well I guess now you wish a secret information would actually exist lol, not only in myths. Because I would probably have left a new insane tip there, on how you can improve your score.
But unfortunately that will not happen. So good luck with keeping your world record!
It's Absorbin' time!
haha
The aesthetics remind me of vampire survivors.
rating: 1452330/10
nice that it is finally available for free!
:)
Oh, I was expecting at least 1500000/10!
I'm sure you meant to type 1500000, and it was just a careless typo?
Yes, you don't know how lucky you are that it's finally free!
Thank you for playing! :)
idk
Thank you for playing.
