PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X

"...Is that the Thomas the Tank Engine theme?"
Why yes it is. Kudos to Megapogo on my stream for saying I should fit it into my music.

I wish I could play your game, but I'm on Mac OS X :'( Can you compile it for Mac?
I'm afraid I made it with GM8, which doesn't let you export to anything except Windows.
I'd suggest using BootCamp or Wine. While it is a lot of effort for one game, it does open you up to all the other Widows exclusives :)
Really enjoyable game! I liked the mechanics a lot. Great polish with cut-scenes and the game felt very responsive when stealing and using weapons.
The one thing I kept forgetting was to progress the text myself. I felt like the dialogue had ended twice and the game was about to start so I stopped clicking forward - I needed a reminder that I should click to make the dialogue go away. (Some sort of mouse icon or something.) I also did this at the start of the second round with the interstitial text.
I feel like the music for Cuddle Kingdom could have been cuter, but both songs were still good nonetheless.
I think the first section of direct speech didn't open with a speech mark - but that's just nitpicking.
I'm only being so critical 'cause it's such a high quality game - great job!
What a comfy game... at the beginnig! Then it became really cool and badass, I like the music, art, and gameplay is really fun. The writing is hilarious.
Awesome game! Good job!
(mabe stealing weapon could have been faster though).
way to go.
Solid game: lots of fun, and really clever take on the theme. Looks great too!
cool entry. But felt like the gameplay doesn't vary much.
You basically just run in circle and thats all.
Or maybe i missed something, but played for a while.
Nice graphics and audio !
A fun game! Not too dissimilar from your LD31 entry to be fair, but I do like the novel mechanic of stealing your enemies' weapons and using it against them.
The UI is nice and clean, and everything works well :)
Wow, this is very impressive! It's very fun and has a really good take on the theme, and the art is all absolutely sublime (those trees man!). The music is very well done, my only gripe being that the part where it loops is a bit sudden - at that point I'm just splitting hairs really, because the music is of such high quality! It felt very satisfying firing 20 guns at once, but I only reached the point where I had that many in later waves (maybe wave 5?), so I'd suggest possibly speeding up the difficulty increase. This is such a strong entry, well done!
I was super pleased when I realised I could steal multiple weapons and just rampage though the enemies like some kind of cuddly mega death princess
Great art for a compo entry. I like that you did more than just make a top down shooter; the mechanic of stealing weapons from your enemies is really interesting. I feel like the time it takes to steal weapons is a bit long, though.
Not bad really. Thought an enemy would count as dead after I took a weapon, but it didn't. Aiming seemed a tad off. But really not bad.
Pssst - you are in todays Ludum Dare to Believe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG_2Odlw5Kc
Awesome graphics, awesome innovation, and the dialogue was funny! The (awesome) music made me feel.. Like a badass? It was great. Really fun game overall. Great job!
Wow, this is really good! One of my favorites so far. I loved the mechanic - simple but there's a lot you can do with it. The art is good too, though I felt background was a little busy. Regardless, great job!
One of the best entries I've played so far. Everything is excellent here. Audio, Graphics, Theme, Humor, Fun, Gameplay. Everything fits well together! Well done!
Great entry! Loved the camera motion / looking control especially!

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
Really like this game, really intuitive, easy, addictive and fun! The style is amazing too!
