Congratulations for the excellent work. The idea is very interesting.

For improve the gameplay the camera movement could be much smoother, the delay between jumps could be smaller and platforms could collide only on top.

Sorry for the English.

Man, that thing you're doing with the camera, fix that!

I'm sure you fought with that jumping bug quite a bit, unfortunately, it really did hurt the game :(

This was a really fun idea, I enjoyed the narrative that went along with it, and each level was difficult, but fairly satisfying to beat in the end.

I really like the art. I found the controls to be just a little finicky. I love evil number nein :)

Interesting idea, awesome cute little game. I don't get the difference between WASD and the Arrow keys. Both seem to affect the player position, yet WASD is making it move fast.

This was fun! The controls were a little finicky, but it was generally pretty great! I liked the "setting" a lot.

As others have mentioned, it's a nice idea, but the jumping bug and the camera make it difficult to play. I do like the setting as a series of lines on paper.

I guess I was so used to the playing the game over and over again while checking for bugs that I didn't realise that the players would find the camera movement a bit quick.

I'll work on the jump bug as soon as I get back home. I know it hurts the game.

Thanks for playing and the reviews.

Liked the concept, though the controls felt a little cramped to me. Using the mouse to interact with objects would probably feel a lot better (for me at least). I also felt like the left/right leaning camera was more harmful than helpful, and seemed a bit disorienting. The basic gameplay was fun and the art had a lot of charm to it. Great work!

I would have made the pickup and throw button the same key, I think it would make things feel a little less fiddly. Other than that it was quite nice.

Although I don't mind the camera flip, the controls sure need improvement. The art is beautiful. Wanted more of the story and art. Great work.

great game

Nice game, a really good theme and matching art styles. Sometimes the jump&run part feels a bit unresponsive.

Truly unique setting and unconventional weapons! The camera and controls issues have been mentioned by others already.

Nice work.
But why separate the take (SHIFT) and throw (X) button ? You should put them in an single button :)

Nice idea.
Camera movemen could be worked on and that jump was driving me mad, but overall a nice entry

@Tipyx I tried keeping "left shift" as the pick up as well as the throw button but it resulted in a number of issues. I didn't have enough time to solve them.

I like interpretation of theme

Couldn't play it - none of the controls seemed to work :(

@ManicMiner the controls are buggy but they work. Maybe there's a problem with the browser you are using.

Great entry! I loved the story. The mood was set right away. Only complaint is the fruhstration when jump doesn't work.

Finished it, liked it in general. But there are 2 crippling issues.
One is the camera movement,
The other one is the difficulty of use for the shift and X interact keys.

Would have been much simpler if X and Shift were combined into one button.Half the time I tried to pick up a letter, it wouldn't work, so I try X, but that's wrong, so I was fidgeting both buttons all the time.

The game idea was neat, a very intresting concept

Controls really hard, and camera behave yourself really badly. But idea is good.

Good idea and fun, but camera movement was confusing and distracting. Otherwise, great game and follows theme well.

Cool game. Some of the buttons don't work when your in full screen however.

Okay. I've fixed the jump bug and the annoying camera movement! Thanks for playing!

Fun idea. I played it way too long for such a simple game.
10/10 best game ever, would play again. :-) Please rate my game at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=16225

cute and simple graphics and it works well for this game. cool and unique gameplay.

These evil number =D... A fun game where simplicity is well implemented. And great visual feedback to the player. Good job!

Not a bad game. The X key is sometimes unresponsive which makes the game annoying, but other then that, not a bad concept and great job!

Cute idea, confusing controls.

This game isn't very lore-friendly. How can 7 work for Nein if 7 8 9?
Jokes aside, I liked the idea and the graphics were nice. The controls were questionable though, as I was initially using WASD but then switched to the arrow keys when I saw how wonky the controls were. The leap of faith was a very bad decision, only because my first instinct was to jump as far as I could, which made me miss the platform almost right below me and outside of view, and I had to do the entire level over again.
When I got to the last level and I was being chased by Nein, I didn't jump at the end because I thought I was close enough to it. Instead I fell into the void and wouldn't restart. It was kind of funny though falling into the void then seeing 9 fall after me.

Hahaha, well done, works quite well and the pick up system works better thenn expected. :)

Like the overall feel and of the paper, pencils lines etc. the poked hole exits are a nice touch.

Cool idea, I like how the background matches the webplayer. The control layout could be better (maybe z instead of left shift) and the letters easily falling off got a bit annoying.

I like the concept and the art is very nice for a 48 hour challenge. I found the key controls to be somewhat awkward. I think I would like WASD so that W was jump, S was pick up letter and then space was shoot. I kept having to move my hand. Still I like the 7 ate 9 reference, and having the numbers be bad and the letters your friend. Very creative. Good job.

I wish the controls were a little simpler. A = left, D = right, W = jump, S = pick up / throw would work great. Good idea for the theme!

Nice take regarding the theme. very clever and creative. love it :>

The story behind the game is great, the gameplay a bit boring sometimes but in general a good entry to the compo

Niffy concept (pencil fighting numbers with letters), fun little platformed. Movement was a bit off but I'm sure it's something you could fix up with a few tweaks. Nice game :)

Cool graphics. A bit of an odd choice for the controls. Why didn't you have pick up and throw on the same key for instance?

@Twiik. I tried keeping the same key for "pick up" and "throw" but it had issues and sometimes it would pick up the letter and throw at the same time. I was running out of time so I went for different keys.

Pretty cool visual style and a unique idea. Having to start over if you drop a character is a bit harsh though.

Platforming was a little awkward, but it is an interesting concept. Might just be me, but I also felt like it was difficult to get used to "shift" picks up and "x" throws. Maybe another key combination would feel more natural to me.

Narrative!
In a gameplay driven experience!
THANK YOU!
Loved it.

An enjoyable game. Ended up playing it for a while.
It would've been awesome if there was a bottom of the page where the letters would get if you missed the numbers.
At the moment, if you miss, the letter can fall and be lost forever, therefore you have to restart the level.

Good job! :)

<3 the ingame storyline & graphics, controls worked fine, more varied levels would be nice.

I never thought I'd ever be hoping for a pencil to rescue their significant other, or that I'd be fighting a 9.

This is excelent. Only need sound and more challenge.

I had alot of fun playing this. It was well made and I loved the narrative that followed the player, as well as the cute intro/ending. Good work!

Pretty cool and funny entry... I felt the theme was not used very well, but other than that it was pretty good. Graphics are nice, and the story is pretty funny. Damn German speaking guys and the girls who love them ;)

Small suggestion, make both pickign up and throwing letters with Z OR X. There is no reason to have different keys for it.

Good luck!

Really cool graphics and a neat platformer. Pretty fun just throwing those letters!

Very interesting use of theme! I mean it's like "words are weapon", but letter by letter hehe
Pretty good job!

Nice! The art was very nice and I liked playing as a pencil. Some music would help and maybe Ted could use some items to vary gameplay, but I liked it quite a bit overall.

Bad control, but aside from that the game is nice.

Pretty good game, though really lacks sound/music and the control are a little weird. Otherwise, pretty neat idea! Good rating overall :)

Great art style and nice gameplay idea!

I like the story being told in the background but it is a little difficult to follow while platforming. Good job though!

Interesting premise, 'Words are weapons' right? Was like playing as donkey kong with letters haha.

The concept is brilliant! i love the hilarious ending to the story too.

Nice gameplay and theme.

Really cool game, controls were a little finicky but overall nice entry!

Nice game, I like the concept and the art style and story added a lot. Great work!

Simple and fun game.

Cute game, found I could jump/stab numbers to death, was happy.

Yours was ridiculously cute! I loved the hand made style and paper textures. I really liked how you told the story in the environment rather than interrupting the play. And it finally occurred to me why 9 would be able to speak German :)

Nice one! But bls change from z to another letter for the german users ;)

Wow this game is great! I really like the interpretation you made of the theme! Also I like the graphic style.
Few problems with the commands combination.. I find it a little odd :P
BTW great job!

Clever use of theme, but maybe it needs some more work? All the letter being the same seems kind of odd and unsatisfying - since you've got Unity maybe you could give them physical properties based on their shape (I or L works differently from O, that rolls etc.).

I like it! really funny! Wonderful mood! =)

Fun little platformer. Love the ending :D
