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
-= Bottom : Unconventional Weapons at bug scale. =-
Ladybirds are one species of insects used in organic farming to get rid of other harmful insects.
You control the ladybird, and you defend your plant.
If you wonder why I named it "bottom", I'm currently too tired to try to remember why. You'll have to come back with this question an other day.

I'm not sure if I've played anything like this before. :)
It is an interesting concept, but I felt the controls were unresponsive. Other than that it's a solid entry!
Very nice concept, I like that you can change the perspective completely to find another way to go somewhere, or flank your enemy :) Graphic is also nice! It would be great if you also could go 'deeper' and 'into the camera direction' but I guess that might be something to add in the future. I see a lot of potential here! Also it's nice to see another game made with GodotEngine :)
Great game, just a little short if I didn't miss anything.
Also one of the few entries, that actually used godots export-function to Linux :D
Nice game. Looks great. Also I like an idea of bugs fighting on some non-flat surfaces :)
Cool and innovate. Let the enemy go also around the branch.
Well made!
That was fun! I like the rotation element as a potential for changing game mechanics and strategy and it was fun to have the whole world rotate when you move. I would have liked to see that world rotation effect the strategy to a greater degree. The arrow keys also weren't as responsive as they could have been.
funny game, nice music and great graphics. (runs also with wine under mac os)
Very interesting. I liked the graphics and the music. The controls were a bit difficult at times, when you had to be in exactly the right spot to go around the branch but apart from that, the gameplay was fine! :)
I really like rotating around the plat. It would be even more awesome if you could walk onto the branches.
Not entirely sure what was going on and then I guess I died and the game locked. This has potential though, especially if the sudden camera movements are smoothed out or something and you had entire plants to crawl around on etc!
Aw what a cute little killing machine.
Cool concept and looks great. I love the idea.
Too bad there is nothing when you beat all the opponents. But maybe that's just what it feels like if you killed everone else.
An interesting concept, albeit a little short and with a few fiddly controls (was a bit tricky to rotate through the 1-unit width gaps, and it wasn't immediately clear if I should be able to move down the side branches). Definitely potential for expansion here.
The rotation is awesome, if it had some puzzle element an clearer combat, this would be a game that can be sold. Nice work!
Hi, and thanks to all of you for your comments.
I'll keep working on this game to improve it and make it a real game.
I'll keep you updated once i'll release something seriouser.

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.
Very interesting Submission
