Great concept and wonderfull execution... The only problem is the sometimes obstrusive control interface...
Good try, although it lacks a certain variety... The sounds are great (a bit loud, but great)... And I noticed the sheep! :)
Ok, I finally saw the game... Cool concept! :) And great intro... I liked the music, although it became a bit repetitive, and a map would help (not on the first mission of course!)
Got nothing to add to the above... Except banging you on the head for making Portugal a part of Spain in your game! :P
Nice RISK clone... Waiting to see what you do with this...
Very good... My only problem with it is that I don't know what to do to get cannons... They appeared sometimes, but I couldn't quite figure out why!
WHAT?!?!?
A bit complicated for me... Still, with a few adjustments, it could be a hit... The control system is VERY hard to use, in my opinion...
Didn't rate the gameplay because the framerate on my computer with JVM 1.4 was about 5 FPS... :(
It reminded me of old NES titles! :)
I didn't rate gameplay because I couldn't play it past level 3 or 4 (the one in the screenshot)... My sheep only had missiles... Maybe I'm dumb, maybe my computer is screwed, but everyone else seem to get along fine, so I'm rating the game a bit on what I expect it would be if I could play it...
A bit easy and boring after a few tries... But balistic games are always fun... As Jamul pointed out, you missed some basic gameplay elements in a balistics game... No real skill was involved...
Nice entry... Everything is quite good, except the controls... the farmer gets stuck on the walls for no apparent reason... Other than that, it's very good! No sound, though... :(
Very good, very good... I loved the game, but I agree with Jamul here... An objective and mouse control would be great... Or at least don't get each new blocks at the same position... use the last cursor position... Different levels would be nice, and some powerups... Loved it!
No construction, but I subscribe everything else that has been said...
Very good... My only complaint is the collision detection... The rest is great... Needs a bit more work on the AI, but besides that! Make it a 2 player game and you've got a hit! :)
Great game... Wished it had sound... and some progress...
A pretty nice game, boring after a while... Amazing graphics, though... Technical score a bit low because this was easily done (technically speaking of course)... And gameplay theme was low too because it doesn't have any construction OR destruction!
Loved it! :) Bring it on... A four opponent mode would be cool, like multiplayer team thingy... It was a very nice entry!
The farmer was too slow, no powerups, no construction... the graphics looked nice, though... wished I could make stuff like that!
Amazing what you've done in 48h! And it's the only game I've played so far in which the sheep are REALLY important, not just cosmetic add-ons... Too bad you didn't include any destruction, but the topic was a hard one on that...
Couldn't build the sheep... It went straight to the city destruction part... That part was fun! :) So, no construction points, but plenty destruction ones... Graphics are nice, and some sounds, although they get irritating... :) Got lots of problems with the collision detection, though... Sheep got stuck a lot...
Wow! Custom controls! Irritating sheep sound... One of the best in gameplay and fun... It was one of the few I really felt like playing! :)
The controls were pretty awkward, at least for me... I couldn't do almost any of the combos... And it doesn't have any construction... The only thing that detracts from the game is the controls, at least for me...
But, as usual, it's one of the most polished games here! :) Nic work!
It was a fun game... but too simple in all respects... but I admit, it's quite solid...
Well, I have nothing to add besides what has been said... You should have given more thought to the gameplay, you could have a winner with the chainsaw wolf thing...
Very repetitive... The ideia is twisted, I like it, but it could do with more variation (although I can't think of anything)... The sound was very good, the graphics were nice (although photos are easy to use!)... No construction or destruction, really...
A bit repetitive... I couldn't see the intro, though... But I had some fun running over the sheep... Doesn't seem to be complete, though... And I couldn't shoot! :(
GREAT GAME! I always loved this type of game (reminds me of inversed lemmings)... My only complaint is on the collision detection (or equivelent)... Sometimes the sheep would just pass through a trap and don't get killed!
Lacks levels... Has construction and destruction (of little stuff) and sheep (and a zombie too!)... Good graphics, oh, the intro was GREAT! Fun gets one more mark because of that... I played this quite a while, so it ranks pretty high on the gameplay... One of my favorites... Add sound, levels and some traps and such and you have a great game!
A very nice game indeed...
Completeness: Not very complete, in the sense that it only has 5 levels, and for a game that doesn't take much to program, only five levels is a bit low on something that's totally centered on problem solving...
Cosmetic Theme: The sheep theme is only there marginally (like my own entry)
Gameplay Theme: I think that the emphasis of the game should be more construction/destruction centered... The game is centered on getting the sheep to the fence, not on the actually cons/decons thing... And dropping crates into the water is not what I would call exactly construction...
Technical: Nothing special here... Straightforward 2d blitting... :)
Sound: Only a sound of a sheep bleating...
Graphics: Very nice to look at, specially the title screen and the background...
Fun: Pretty fun to play, reminds me of my good old days playing Sokoban...
Gameplay: Great gameplay, although not overly original...
Procedural levels, yay! :) Didn't like the controls, though... The rest is pretty decent! :)
Hardly playable for me... And no construction/destruction...
LD4 — Infection (41)
Youve Got COOTIES!! (FINISHED) by EricDB
Man, this couldn've been an awesome game; the problem is the randomness of it... If you add a time limit for each play, and if you make sure that the player can play the piece without getting a grey cootie, then you have a shareware hit on your hand!
Infected Blood by filami
Well, this is the best snake I've ever played so far... The only problem is that it isn't very original and I do not think it's in the theme, really... Other than that, it's great!
Unknown by McSteel
Well, it was quite fun at first... then it began to be everything the same... still, the sounds were quite funny...
Microbattle by dumple
Very, very, very good... It was fun playing... Even the "vector" graphics had their charm... the "tutorial" at the start was very good tood... My only complaint at this game is the fact that it runs in a window that takes up my whole desktop (and I couldn't see the whole of it because of my taskbar at the bottom)... It would be better if the game ran in full screen mode...
The Trouble with Tribbles by Gopher
Very nice... I feel like doing a GBA game next time... eheheh... :) The problem with this game is that it's always the same thing... and the lack of sound also annoys a bit...
Cuzco's Goat Bloat Game by philhassey
Great game... Laughed my ass off with the intro and the sounds (did you play the violin yourself?)...
Vaccinator by Negator
Great game... I'm just sorry I couldn't get past level 6... :( Anyway, great job with this one...
InnerBody (FINISHED) by mrfun
Quite fun game to play, really... Very hard, after level 2... Weeeeeeee....
Zombies by MattD
Interesting... lacks variety, though... and there are some strange bugs (flashing yellow triangles, sometimes, and the zombies act wild and are invulnerable to shooting!)
Plague City by Kevin
Running over people fun! :) The problem is that there is little sense of accomplishment when you finally kill all the infected guys... :( BTW, loved the "reverse" sound! :)
SDLInfection by Endurion
Quite fun, although a bit boring in the end... in the long run, it's too easy (I finished it the first time I played)... Again the random themeness (that is, you don't feel in control of the events... Most of the game is spent only looking at the screen)...
Diaspora by alia
Well, this seems like a very nice entry, although it's too random for me... I've tried playing it for a while, but the oponnent was too fast for me, and I didn't have any real metric of how I was doing (let alone understand half of what I was doing)... I think some sound would definetly help here...
Infectoban by flgr
Not too original nor in-topic, but it was rather fun to play, really... and very challenging (only got to level 4, but didn't understood what I had to do)... some instruction would be useful, really...
Shrooms! by zoggles
Top notch graphics... the gameplay was a bit boring sometimes (and it was possible to reach a dead end in the game, which was quite anoying... :( )
BioWulf by DrTiger
Er... Sorry, but it was a bit boring for my taste... The sheep erratic behaviour led to pure luck in getting over a level or not... and the lack of feedback on shooting (video or audio) made it a very less rewarding experience...
Mind Controlling Killer Virus! by survivor
Great puzzler... Too few levels, though... :(
Zombie Death (FINISHED) by wisebede
Ok, I kept playing this one for some time... it's too hard, imho, the initial configuration matters to much on the game (sometimes I would reach level 4 easily, other I wouldn't even get past level 1!!), extra lifes would be nice, and infection shouldn't take place so fast (just touch them!??! Come on!)... The story thing was the thing that kept me going, so that was very well done!
Raids (not finished) by drZool
Well, the game wasn't really complete, but I had some fun shooting the zombies... great graphics, by the way... No fun going back, though... :| Impressive you did it in Director (didn't know director could do something like that, really)...
Fuc Man by Impossible
Wish this one was complete... :(
Most Extreme Infection by mcarroll
Couldn't understand this one... and it was major buggy (slowdowns, full stops, etc)...
Antibody by TwinnedArak
Very original idea... the only problem is the strange screen size... I couldn't see a good part of the screen (I'm running my desktop at 1024x768)... Make it a game, and it will be great!
Corruption by meethezero
COuld be quite cool... but normal mode is too slow, and debug mode is too fast... and the anti-virus should have a more sofisticated, albeit easier to beat behavior... maybe related to what file was infected last (could trick him or something)...
Infectrons (FINISHED) by LoneCoyote
Nice one, although it becomes boring after a while... It lacks variety, and there seems to be some collision detection issues, that sometimes are extremely anoying...
Snag by shredwheat
As always, a great entry... Great game, very interesting in a game design view...
infection-terror by Chronocore
Reminds me of old Krakatoa game on the Spectrum... Couldn't play it, really... It was too god-damn fast... Couldn't land (always crashed because of the speed issue), so I couldn't really judge how fun it was...
Antigen by Mark Fassett
Another asteroid clone... Still, it's very playable...
Plague! by wobbler
The idea was good, but after 1 turn, the game crashes... I tried it several times, but it didn't work... was missing glut32.dll...
Zombie Epidemic by Ufo Z
I was kind of disapointed with this game... at the beggining, I struggled hard to get to the level where I got the car... then, I got it... and it was almost undrivable... :( Still, high marks for all technical accomplishments... would get a higher score if it wasn't all the collision problems... and the game gave out a buffer overrun on exit...
Pathogen Warrior by tonic
Very nice, very polished work... Good job!
Zombiepox by peitz
Cool... Brains.... :)
infeXion by bluescreen
As usual, great entry, bluescreen... Theme is only 3, because the theme of your game is more contamination than infection... The music was nice, but it had some looping problems that got quite anoying at some parts... Graphics were awesome, and the game wasn't funnier to play because it's too damn hard, verging on frustration rather than challenge... Innovation is low (as you stated in your own description, it was thrust+asteroids)... Overall it's a very polished entry and a very good one!
Infection Terminator (as done as it is getting) by segludian
Not really a game, so it's kind of hard to judge...
infekchion by illume
No challenge... Although the highscore table is a good idea...
Gooploid by Gnatinator
Didn't like it very much... Don't think it's on-topic, really (infection is diferent from contamination, IMHO)... Thought it quite boring, although it had a nice look...
Jelly by Cenozoic
Another entry that's too hard... :( I couldn't even get past level 1... Take the gravity of the gameplay and I feel it's going to be great... Although it's a great effort for 3 hours!
Invasion of the Blobs by logicalhippo
Very good entry... It's fun to play, to a certain extent (then it just becomes frustrating)... The sound also becomes a bit irritating at times (the music is great)
Infection Fighter by adriczero
Too hard to change the direction of the ship... That's the main reason I didn't think the game was fun... The idea is interesting, though... Some problems with my computer (animation was too jumpy, even in my P4 2.66 with Radeon 9800 PRO)
The Destruction of the Viruses by Jolle
I had soem fun playing the first levels, but then it just become a bit boring... Too many virus... I would prefer tougher ones, but less in quantity...
Infected! by Krzysiek-K
Nice entry, this one... Needs a crosshair, though... and enemy variety... This way, it's a bit monotonous...
Commies! by randomnine
Great one, really! I was looking forward to playing this and I wasn't disapointed... Add some buildings and stuff like that and it will be an awesome game!
Insanity by allefant
The leves are quite complex and that ruled... Some bugs, though (going downstairs made my character glide in the air) and the game finally crashed completely... The game isn't as fun as it could have been if you could kill your enemies with a chainsaw or a shotgun... But rather than that, it was cool!
