I'd focus on fixing the feel of the controls first, there's way too much inertia when moving around. Some sound effects could also do a lot for the game. I like the music though.

A decent game, controls feel a bit wonky in my opinion. Still a nice little game, just would need a bit more work.

Chores have never been this epic :)

I couldn't figure out how to kill a monster, though I did suck up a lot of furniture.

The controls are a bit touchy, but other than that I like the suction mechanic :)

I like the idea of having to manage ammo like this, unfortunately the controls made it very difficult for me. Good start!

Thanks for the feedback guys :).
I will work on it on my free time to polish it, and put it on Game Jolt after the judging end.
I also feel that I could have make this game a bit more complete but hey it's playable, it got a Start&End
and it's a prototype and that's what Ludum Dare is all about!

Please make port for Linux! (and while you're at it, probably make one for Mac as well ;) )

Good job! Interesting idea, and I loved the sound and especially the particle effects. It was kind of hard at first to distinguish what the different shapes represented, but the game was a lot of fun when I figured it out!

wasn't sure what i was doing at first, but once i figured it out, i really enjoyed it! it had really interesting and fun game mechanics. i do think you should continue developing it, it's great proof of concept.

I couldn't quite sense the mood of the game, as it was put together in a fairly abstract manner. I didn't find it necessarily funny, but it has a clever premise. I think there is a very innovative game brewing in here, and that you owe yourself a pat on the back for that. (:

nice music, controls could be a bit smoother :)

Controls are a bit awkward but the concept is pretty cool and I love how well you've fleshed out the sucking/shooting mechanics.

Liked the music, as others have said the controls could feel a little snappier. The mechanics are pretty solid, overall I enjoyed it!
