This is what a ludum dare game is about... quick, simple and to the point.  Taking a small mechanic and making something challenging.  Thanks!"},{"author_name":"jarry","author_uid":"44284","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:02am","epoch":1418014620,"text":"Nicely done.

The only thing that threw me off was that the Keep \/ Kick presentation feels backwards (you see those that you need to keep on the right) so I always have a hard time remembering who to keep. Other than that, wonderful game :)"},{"author_name":"zanenga","author_uid":"34576","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:05am","epoch":1418014800,"text":"I wasn't expecting much, but it was really cool!

I suck at it's fun. Every-time i made a mistake i hit the opposite arrow for some reason so i made mistakes in pairs.

Good execution on a simple concept. Audio loop is a little bit too tight, but otherwise not unpleasant. I refuse to believe that level 7 is beatable. Voting N\/A on theme because this fits the theme just like nearly every other video game."},{"author_name":"victorafael","author_uid":"46310","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:14am","epoch":1418015340,"text":"Did the pirates took over the titanic!

I originally wanted a ska inspired number for the actual game but after an hour I realized I forgot that I can't make music and put in a sped up menu song.  I thought about leaving audio out altogether but compromised on a mute button...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Level 3 is hard because originally there were only three levels and it was the last one.  The additional levels were a last hour addition so they aren't balanced...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- I can't beat level 7 either.  My highest score ever has been over 50, but it was on one of the simpler levels (maybe 1 or 2).  I've hit low 30s, but I think I've peaked...  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>-I always hit mistakes in pairs also.  Kick a pirate by accident and save the hostage I meant to kick."},{"author_name":"Aisland","author_uid":"45294","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 7:44am","epoch":1418024340,"text":"Quick click game,  very funny!\r<br\/>My brain is confusing now, aha!"},{"author_name":"indigofiz","author_uid":"35801","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 7:46am","epoch":1418024460,"text":"Lv 7 is just too hard!

These kinds of twitch games get my blood pumping like no other and I had a blast trying to quickly sort the people.

I liked the super chiptune music and the concept and realization are ludicrous enough to be fun.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Concerning upgrading The Shift, we would probably simply add more levels randomly switched, that would allows more variety and simplicity (current level is kind of complicated because it has to be self-sufficient to match the theme)"},{"author_name":"pjimmy","author_uid":"40339","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 2:31pm","epoch":1418394360,"text":"very funny and creative game, well done :D"},{"author_name":"lightsoda","author_uid":"19698","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 6:03pm","epoch":1418407080,"text":"Everything is pretty good, simple but fun gameplay, looks good, sounds alright."},{"author_name":"puppetmaster","author_uid":"39425","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 7:06pm","epoch":1418410860,"text":"My kids loved you game.\r<br\/>They lough about the kicking animation.\r<br\/>Funny music\r<br\/>Well made!"},{"author_name":"badlydrawnrod","author_uid":"745","time":"Dec 14, 2014 @ 10:38pm","epoch":1418596380,"text":"That's a whole lot of fun, presented very well.
