LD2 — Construction/Destruction

Sheep Town by ShredWheat

Wow... The game seems very complex and well-thought-through, but it's too hard. It simply requires too much attention and micromanagement to look after starving/dying sheep. I like the large number of buildings that you can build.

Hitsuji: Shears Of Fury by Jamul

Very cool game... No construction though, but the sheep is hiilarious! Great graphics.

The Destruction of The Sheep by Jolle

Wicked fun! The only downside is that being a DOS game it runs at 60hz, making my eyes hurt... But watching the little sheep die is just great :)

Sheeps R Us by Gutter

Uber-cool! The gameplay is really well thought-through, and the wolves look hilarious. I like the tetris-like blocks, too. What the game lacks is an ending, or much progress, besides making money.

Run Away Sheep by matricks

The gave is pretty fun, a little bit simplistic perhaps. The music, it's great, but after more than a minute, it hurts :))) Very nice and crisp graphics

The Sheep Wars by shang

Cool game.. The graphics look a bit weird, and the gameplay isn't all that straightforward... You should add a sheep counter for both sides, and sound. And make the guy walk faster :)

save the sheep by UberHaxor

Awesome idea... Fits perfectly for construction/destruction..

I had problems with the controls, they didn't feel very responsive.. Also, it was hard to see where the block will end up. (It covers its green shadow)

Sheep Rescue by MattB

Good concept, but the actual gameplay is a bit awkward, and I didn't have a second player to try it with :( Love the manual :)

SheepShifter by JM

Great game! A cool concept that's very well done, and properly polished as well.... It could use more levels and additional level elements perhaps, but it's pretty cool the way it is.

Sheep Strike by PoVRAZOR

Wicked fun!!! Even though it's low-res, the graphics are awesome, and the baby wolves are very cute. My only gripe would be that the game doesn't really go anywhere, and it's too easy. Also, on my first building session I didn't get a single turret, and my wolves got pretty screwed... I didn't really know whether I did something wrong or the turrets were missing. :P

Trans-Icelandic Express by jovoc

Okay, first things first: Mouse look works the wrong way! :) It's, like, always looking in the opposite direction that I want it to :).. Okay, with that out of the way: I like the game, but couldn't make much of it.. Perhaps the gameplay is a bit too complicated, or the level is hard to navigate through. A minimap feature might've helped. The graphics are cool 3D, but a bit blocky... Overall I liked it, but it needs loads more polish, IMO.

Bathroom Teacher by mrfun

Pretty cool... But the construction thing seems to be a bit forced... Still, the "Asshole" sound effect makes up for it all :D

Robo Sheep by mfassett

It was a fun game overall, but the movement for the sheep was a bit slow. I would've preferred to fire in any direction, not just in the 8 that are possible in the game. The flamethrower looked really cool, but it took a lot of repetitive gameplay to earn enough money. (more purchasable items would've been nice)

Sheep & Crates by elak

Great graphics, great physics. Shockwave runs sluggishly slow on my crappy machine though :( Also, the keys for the right player aren't next to each other on standard US-layout keyboards, making controls uncomfortable

Mut Shbin by Thenend

I sort of missed the construction part... I guess you didn't have time for it. I would've loved to build a mutant sheep. :) The city destroying part was pretty cool, although collisions with the buildings weren't straightforward. Also, the helicopter sound was funny for the first time, but exremely annoying thereafter :P

Final by entheh

Cool concept... The game is a bit too difficult, and it's hard to oversee the level from the first-person perspective anyway. Love the music, though.

Union Jack - with by nonnus29

Unfortunately, the game ran at a very slow fps for my crappy machine...(Sun VM, 1.4) I've seen java games do much better than that :{ Controlling the guy was a bit awkward and sluggish, and the grenade didn't really bounce as I expected it to. The zombie sheep looked pretty cool though

s a pult by robot_guy

Wow... the controls for aiming and firing are non-trivial and hardly usable :( Otherwise, the idea of sheepslinging is cool :)

Onslaught! Sounds intriguing, no? by bugboy

Very fun game... But I didn't see any sheep :{ The physics were pretty good, although with a few bugs (that removed my Super Wall from the screen... argh :) )

Sheep O Rama by Bastian von Halem

The concept was great, but the game felt a bit slow... And you can get stuck in your barriers. Very sharp and pretty graphics.

BallerSchaf - Sheep of Death by Balooga03

Nice game! Running over the sheep with the tank is great fun... I love the smooth scrolling. Downside: it's missing construction. :{

Entry by DavemanInSeattle

The concept is cool, but there's really not much you can do... If the wolf really wanted to eat my sheep, he could just go after them regardless of how many fences I've built... So it seems that there's little to actually do in the game :{

World Domination: Sheep vs Wolves by ghowland

Great concept, too bad it's incomplete... :(

There are some minor gripes: The game seemed very inresponsive, things didn't happen in the right order... I couldn't select Germany as a target... and country names on Europe were weird >_< lol...

Anyway... Hope you finish it, because the game would rock if it was properly done and polished.

SheepSiege by Kuja

I'm gonna skip some of the scores because this isn't really a (completed) game... (yet). Perhaps dealing with the GBA hardware took away all of your coding time. I love the intro (Kuja's theme is cool). The sounds are prett well done, as are the graphics for splash screens and stuff... The actual gameplay feels like you're not in control, though, and that you have no idea what's happening. :{

Sheep Thieves by segludian

Fun for a while, but unbeatable... The saucers swoop down before I even have a chance of getting near... Also, lacks construction. (the laser is a bit forced :))

chicken by yq713

The controls were very choppy for me and the whole game was very slow... It quit right back to Windows when I touched a chicken. :{

Sheep Massacre by Josh5231

For some reason the menu doesn't work for me... The game is pretty repetitive, although killing the first batch of sheep was fun... Crashed upon exit :(

48game valles by valles

Uh... I managed to.. like... fly around... with the lil' triangle.

Incomplete =/

LD4 — Infection

Commies! by randomnine

Wow! Very neat - a funny concept that fits the theme. The sprites are very cute, with the little icons over their heads. The music is excellent, although after a while a little bit annoying. What I found a little weird was the way the machine gun worked, it seemed that when attacking the enemy the gun aimed consistently two inches before my opponent and not at him, especially when trying to move close to get within range. The AI was tough. Love the title screen, very polished game. ^_^

Infected! by Krzysiek-K

Nice 3D graphics, but it brought my semi-old video card (gf2mx) to its knees (~10 fps), perhaps some optimizations would be needed :) The menu was nice, with the spinning biohazard sign thing... Gameplay was a bit confusing, it's hard to tell where the bullets are going, and who they are hitting.

Virgil by LordCovenant

Very fun game :) The rendered graphics are pretty nice, and the badass talking of the virus is simply hilarious! It was a bit annoying how the rockets weren't visible, I don't know if they weren't done yet or it's a bug just for me... Also, there are data files for levels up to 12 but it told me I won after lev. 9 already :(

Invasion of the Blobs by logicalhippo

Lol, nice game, although at first it was a bit confusing. The rendered graphics are cute. Recharging the weapon seemed a bit slow, but I guess that's the difficulty factor. :)

OSWar by summaky

Neat, although not very original, but a nice implementation of the game. The AI was smart enough to beat me without a lot of effort. Network play is a very cool feature, as is the fact that you used port 1337. :)

infeXion by bluescreen

What can I say, the game has the trademark bluescrn feelgood factor. Very polished, very neat looking with impressive particle effects. The game crashes randomly sometimes but I suppose you know that already. Also, I get (barely noticable) vertical stripes in the black parts of the map, must be some sort of texture clamping issue on my card (gf2mx).

A few comments about the gameplay: The barrels can slide on the floor without friction! I don't know if this is intentional bu it's very useful for getting them through narrow horizontal tunnels without hassle. Also, it's a bit weird how barrels will crash and explode when "picked up", but are indestructable when detached from the ship. (also very useful later in the game)

Zombiepox by peitz

hahaha... cute. The brains are a pretty cool idea. Fun game until you get overwhelmed by the zombies. The sound effects become a bit too frequent after a while... Graphics are very curte.

Mucus Infection by Thenend

AAHHHHH GOOODDAMMIT 98 SECONDS I HATE YOU HATE HATE HATE HATE

ahem

:)

Fun game. I can't survive long enough to get the better weapon, unfortunately. Also, what's up with the 10 megabyte wav file for one single shot? :)

Pathogen Warrior by tonic

Very impressive game, and the idea is cool too, and the graphics are pretty.

There are just a few annoyances with the interface: Moving the little balls around messes up my current configuration if I drag them over already placed balls... it would've been better to drag them over the playing field. When placing connections, it's usually between only two atoms... in this case it would've been nice if the program placed it in the appropriate direction for me. Also, some indicator of my time left would've been nice, and having to start over after level 14 was very frustrating :) :)

Overall, I really liked the game idea, even if it's a very loose interpretation of "infection".

T-Cell by Jacius

I suspect there's a fun game hiding in this somewhere, but I was too confused by things going on on-screen. The infection spreads too easily and it's difficult to kill those pesky pathogens. The font on the menu-screen was misaligned with the graphics, due to the linux vs windows difference I guess.

Peanut Butter: The Simulator by Zaphos

Lol :)

A very unique interpretation of the theme. I managed to score about 70 points.

Snag by shredwheat

Wow! Very polished game - out of the python entries this one seemed to have the smoothest graphics, feel, etc. The game idea isn't very original but it's an interesting twist on a classic idea, and pretty addictive. Combos = teh win.

Antibody by TwinnedArak

Very fun, it kept me occupied for quite a bit. The concept is original and cool, too bad you didn't have time to finish it... (although the gameplay works, so the game is playable and fun)

Fuc Man by Impossible

Hahaha - a great interpretation of the theme, too bad it's unfinished. Not much gameplay but what is done is pretty funny. The STD-ridden whores move way too fast, they can infect the whole screen within seconds and after that it's only a game of dodge-the-whores. And only one condom? Poor guy! He's doomed. :) :)

Zombie Death (FINISHED) by wisebede

Cool, I like the blood and gore and the rendered characters. Problem is, it's really easy to screw up, and before I know it the game's already over. Perhaps the civlians need to move in a slightly less crazy pattern, or just a bit slower :)

The Newcastle Chicken Slaughter by Giddy

Yay for java + 3d :) I really like the chicken models and the sounds... Gameplay isn't very challenging but it's neat nonetheless.

Mind Controlling Killer Virus! by survivor

Very fun and original game! One of the best for this contest, IMHO. I was planning to do a similar tyle game initially, but gave up because I couldn't come up with any real gameplay... But this game was challenging (and interesting) enough to keep me playing it to the end. The graphics are programmer art but look humorous enough anyway.

Infection Wars by tsmaster

The gamewas fun once I figured out what's going on :) The indirect interaction with the game was really interesting. The enemy AI wasn't very bright but that's okay because this way I had a chance at winning. A good interpretation of the theme.

Shrooms! by zoggles

Pretty fun game, I like the crisp graphics. Non-rectangular maps would've been nice, since you already have the isometric graphics all done (maybe there are some after level 4, I didn't get further)

A small dislike with the gameplay: sometimes there are single empty spaces but the mushrooms just waste their seeds on random occupied spaces, and pretty soon there's no way to infect the empty tile... otherwise, fun!

Infectoban by flgr

Very neat! A great puzzle game, the last level was a good challenge. The smooth movement was a bit awkward for a block-based puzzle like this but I can't say that it hurt the gameplay. Maybe it could've been smooth (animated) movement but restricted to block borders?

Also, needs more levels :)

SDLInfection by Endurion

Very cool, and plays just like an RTS with indirect interaction! At first it was confusing but once you understand what's going on it's a pretty fun game.

Zombies by MattD

Whee, robotron with zombies! :) In fullscreen mode, sometimes the whole screen turned yellow and all I could see were the zombies and my bullets... The rescuing civilians concept was cool, but the zombies get to them pretty quickly... :)

Kitten Carnage by Algeroth

This game could've been much cooler if it was finished and well polished. The 3d models and skins are very professional, but the gameplay is a little confusing, it's hard to make sense of the level and die quickly. Also the required .net installations were a nuisance :) The cat models own, especially the cute one.

InnerBody (FINISHED) by mrfun

Good game but it gets pretty difficult at the later stages. The "continue" mechanism really bothered me, pressing "space" "c" "space" to try a level again seems like a weird UI... :) Otherwise, neat.

Cuzco's Goat Bloat Game by philhassey

Very entertaining but very annoying game... :) Controlling the goats is a challenge. The music is fitting, as are the sound effects.

The Trouble with Tribbles by Gopher

Yay for GBA ~ Neat game, maybe a bit simplistic but that's okay. I like how the infection takes place on two levels, in-game and on the map too :)

Nanodominance by rtf

Interesting game... I tried a couple of matches and it seems that the outcome is usually decided in the first two or three moves :) Winning or losing against the AI seemed a bit random, too :) I like the concept though, maybe it should be a bit more clear between turns about what's happening?

Innoculator4x4 by smx

Neat, another game with a car! The controls were a bit hard, it was tough to manouver the car properly and often the good tactic seemed to be running around in circles hoping to hit infected people. Nice sounds and neat game concept.

Microbattle by dumple

Wow, a game of epic proportions! Very fun and varied, although it doesn't have much to do with infection :) Needs a save/load game function because it's easy to keep playing for a while. Very fun.

Tekram-S (v1.1) by Sol_HSA

Nice entry, very original. I had a little problem with the interface... when trying to match the pattern, with the erratic clicking it's very easy to flip the same cell twice instead of two neighboring cells. Maybe it's just me but it happened a lot and was very frustrating because at enything "hard" and beyond I just couldn't keep up :) Something indicating the different mutations would be helpful, I found it hard to keep track of the playing field and I was overwhelmed quickly...

Youve Got COOTIES!! (FINISHED) by EricDB

The game is cool but the way the gameplay is set up, it's inevitable that you will lose very soon. Since the whole concept is to remove similar cooties, and there aren't a lot of them on-screen in the first place, the ones that are there get used up quickly. From then on, the game is effectively over, since if there are no killable cooties in step n, there sure as hell won't be any more in step n+1 :) And since the only way to get rid of the gray ones is to kill right next to them, the end is even moreso inevitable.

I think a good solution might have been to be able to reshuffle the non-gray part of the board for a penalty, like, a certain percentage of your score (50% for instance), or to discard some unused pills for a smaller penalty.

The graphics are very stylish, I like that :)

The Lobby by Spectro

Cool game with plenty of blood and gore. I got pwned. :) It's a bit too easy to shoot your partners, and also very easy to get caught in crossfire. The blood on the floor is a nice touch.

Gonorrhoids! by sinsolent

Very unique art, the little green monster things look absolutely freaky. Gameplay was entertaining although sometimes things got busy on the screen and I died from some random enemy that I couldn't even notice :) It's fairly easy to die, maybe there should be a way to get more lives? (if there is, well, I didn't find it :))

Anti-Botic by tomkh

The game is fun but way too difficult :) the infections spread very fast and the red cells have no chance (and the pill can't move fast enough to stop an infection before it spreads everywhere)

The graphics are very nice though, and the small filesize is cool (even though it wasn't a requirement to keep it small...)
