Is the Emperor never pleased?
Incredible graphics, sound and mood.
Oh noes! The web version crashes on OS/X 10.7.5 after adding a cast member. THIS GAME IS BEAUTIFUL I MUST PLAAAAY
Great graphics. Very funny dialogue, artwork, and theme. Great audio too. I'd like it more if there was a line or timer to indicate when the next set of symbols arrives, and if the symbols deselected at that time - or you queue up your selections that play when the time is up. Nice game!
I really dig the art style and the tone of the game greatly. Great job!
Wow this was aweeesome! :D Did you use Hexels for the graphics? That's so cool! :D
Awesome, the emperor was despleased by my poor representation :( the mood of the game with the art and music is so cool, i want a full space adventure about my opera singers!
Interesting concept, well presented with excellent art. Great work!
I wasn't really sure how to play for a while, I feel like some in-game instructions would help. Also the game doesn't scale to different screen sizes. It was too tall for my screen.
Realy great, unique graphic style, audio is pretty interesting as well. I like the setting, specialy the multiple endings space monsters. Keep up the good work
Incredible art (did you use hexels for this?) and the sound for the opera singers was unique and interesting. In light of the other incredible features the actually game falls a bit more on it's face then it should. It wasn't clear to me until the 2nd try what I was supposed to do. communicating my possible actions would've fixed a lot in presenting this intersting gameplay idea.
Superb production values. Love the triangular graphical style - really stands out from the crowd. The characters are brilliant as well and I love the way the different voices all sing in harmony (sort of) - rather difficult game but I enjoyed it and the story aspect really adds to the mood

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Banished! Good job on the art & new symbols.
