LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing (23)
Singularity Survival by FakeHair 2015-12-23T03:17:00
Very interesting; initially I found the controls to be inverted.
The difficulty ramps up way too fast, you essentially lose the moment the first ship hits the hole.
Fluffy Horde by publicidadeba 2015-12-18T16:03:00
Excellent game.
It takes a bit too long to start up and feels like you lose mid-way; bunny limit seems a bit low and it's easy to lose the game by trying to optimize your spending.
Swarms in Space by HongerTrollie 2015-12-15T18:56:00
Fun, but the unresponsiveness of the miner and the tendency of the fighter to foray off the green zone makes gameplay more frustrating than it need to be. The fighter should prioritize bugs near the miner, and hiding the laser charge from the player is bad.
The swarm also encountered some logistics issues and got bottlenecked into a one-at-a-time intersection by an unfortunate arrangement of asteroids.
Still, a nice game and impressive enemy counts.

Sounds seemed rather loud
Stardust by Charzendat 2015-12-15T06:23:00
The asteroid was an... interesting design choice.
Not Enough Space by batmanasb 2015-12-14T18:01:00
A good start but too ambitious. Ship controls badly and there is not much a of a game here.
Rogue Blast by Tjakka5 2015-12-14T17:52:00
Megalovania makes everything better.
I had trouble getting into the game; I couldn't figure out an effective strategy besides going back and forth and spamming into the masses. It feels that the game is too unresponsive to warrant an action approach, and yet too realtime to allow roguesque planning. Neither of the themes was recognizable ingame.
The confusing, shades-of-gray map visuals don't help. Quick improvements I can think of include a health bar and direction-indicating sprites for the projectiles.
Yarnful Days by amras0000 2015-12-14T17:32:00
Pretty good as far as a walking simulator goes, but still, it's a walking simulator. I found myself playing only to see if something happens. If it does, it takes too much walking to get there (for me.)
Mouse was extremely sensitive for me, and I think you lose some effort in the button-dragging-yarn effect because the yarn overlaps so much.
The environment was fun, though.
Seven Cannon Army by r8berto 2015-12-14T17:23:00
A cute idea but hard to effectively play because of so much going on and your limited interaction. Good visuals.
Growing light by Schurtz 2015-12-14T17:10:00
It's a very nice game. The design could be refined more; most levels were trivial to solve by hugging a side and spamming your attack at a slight angle. Experiment with removing the shooting mechanic altogether, even.
Tech-wise, the only thing that comes to mind is polishing the character-tile collisions: it's easy to get caught up on a corner.
I liked the game a lot.

159 vehicles was enough to bring the game to sub-1-fps
Dandelion by ProgramGamer 2015-12-14T06:38:00
The game seems technically sound, but the design is a real mess.
Ants eating strawberries to cocoon up to turn into grasshoppers?!
Videogame logic aside, the 'economy' of click larva, click fruit, click larva to fruit, click morph is exceedingly tedious to produce basic combat units.
Seems like you have a good base of a game going; you should carefully consider if this is the direction you want the game to go.
Wargrow by Mixer 2015-12-14T05:55:00
10 seconds. Beanstalk op.
Graphical look is very nice though.
Hope you intend to flesh out the gameplay in the coming week.
Shot Snap by DomNomNom 2015-12-14T05:26:00
I like it
Dunno why it's in this Jam, but I like it.
...I just realized you explained everything below the game.
I think it's nicer as a puzzle game to figure out.

looks like http// and nothing more, now
Stavros the DAVROS by DustyStylus 2015-12-14T04:45:00
nerf stairs
Growy the Flowy by Optimus6128 2015-12-14T04:36:00
Very solid. The visuals are a reward in themselves.
Tri-Fission by Reisen 2015-12-14T04:28:00
An interesting mechanic, but using it effectively seems very hard. Otherwise, the game is looking a bit plain.
Harvest by rxi 2015-12-14T04:26:00
Very solid, but the small scale makes managing your stuff very messy.
A further ammo/food mechanic and enemy progression would likely add more depth.
Space Elf by Farfin 2015-12-14T03:58:00
Very nice, shame it got cut short.
Crabby Puzzles by Verrazano 2015-12-14T03:50:00
I like how the crab crabs about and the creativity in designing around two controls. Zoom left puzzles feeling rather trial-n-errory for me.
CHILL PILL by alvarop 2015-12-14T02:38:00
A simple game but very nicely executed. Firefox exhibited some strange behaviour during the zoom/newgame.
From the Deep by scorched 2015-12-14T02:33:00
The visuals and idea are cute, but gameplay suffers due to the controls.
