Dueling Time, Sir! by HybridMind 2015-05-09T21:28:00
Really cool game! Loving the art and sound design! The turn-based mechanics are nice - it had more options and scenarios than I would have guessed! Sadly, I didn't have a friend to play, but from what I could experience, the game play feels nicely balanced. Although I can't quite tell if ducking is helpful because the animations seem ordered.
Anyway, the dialog is funny and great, and the idea is funny - I love the options for building your player, and choosing options that will help you with your strategy. :D
Great job, keep up the great work everyone :D
LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing (64)
space pruning by rubna 2016-01-04T20:28:00
Very nice jam entry!! You have potential to expand this in so many ways :)
Either way, what you have now is really nice. Love the concept and the mechanics are very clever. The way you implicitly convey the tasks is brilliant too. Great work!
Growing Ties by drludos 2016-01-04T19:32:00
I really like it! It's a funny game, with a really simple fun mechanic ;) Excellent job with the polish to the game.
PSYCHOTENNIS by pkenney 2016-01-04T17:43:00
I love how you made use of the two buttons! Really cool idea!
It SEEMS to get too fast, where you can't really hone in your skills to be precise enough. Maybe the same control scheme can be applied to a more balanced game style or goal?
And awesome work with the sounds - they were effective and pleasant!
Fluffy Horde by publicidadeba 2016-01-04T04:16:00
The cut scene is extremely amazing. I hope no one skips it!
Not the most interesting gameplay, but it works and is fun :)
Slime Smasher by Anachron 2016-01-04T03:53:00
Hahaha XD I don't know what else to say! I played a couple times and got my lowest score to 272. My poor keyboard xD
Ortogonalis by pjimmy 2016-01-04T03:36:00
I really love the creativity here! Simple, but fun timing game!
I'd argue it's a one-button game, but hey I see you're point, and it does take quite a bit of skill to make a full game with one button, haha. So, awesome job ;)
Square Exit by LeReveur 2016-01-03T23:52:00
I really loved how clever this puzzle was! It's awesome how it directs you toward the solution without making it entirely obvious what to do. And I loved how you introduced the concepts.
Excellent work! ;D
2 Roll by lawendt 2016-01-03T22:57:00
Awesome work!! I got 82 seconds ;) The art and sounds are great and establish quite an atmosphere. Overall the game plays really well and is quite fun!
I feel like the controls are backwards than what I would have expected, which might have made it unnecessarily difficult to get used to... but I do really love the unique door mechanic you have.
Not that it makes any difference on your score, but I noticed you misspelled "platforms" a couple times.
Good game!
Get to the Points by recursor 2016-01-03T22:42:00
I love how satisfying it is to watch a level end, with all your blips and bloops haha. Very nice work!! I agree that you should increase the difficulty quicker :)
PerePey by Riftpoint 2016-01-03T21:27:00
I think you made an amazing game, with clever mechanics and a wonderful atmosphere!
I agree with the previous comments about controls and everything. It was way too hard for me as well, but not in a bad way - I felt like the mistakes were my own, and that I could improve if I kept trying. That being said, starting the levels off easier for new players, or changing the controls at least, would definitely be a good idea.
Dendrite by bitdecaygames 2016-01-03T21:12:00
Gosh, you all managed to complete a surprisingly fantastic game within the Jam! Doesn't seem like you considered the themes though? Great job nonetheless!
Surf a Turf by daandruff 2016-01-03T20:55:00
Extremely cool graphics! The gameplay and sound is nice too! Overall a really relaxing and well-made game. Excellent work Daandruff :)
Growy the Flowy by Optimus6128 2016-01-03T20:48:00
Very nice looking game! It was calming and enjoyable to play. Nice work! :D
Stem by Yamzho 2016-01-03T20:41:00
Impressive work with the thoughtful interface and game design! It seemed to progress a bit too slow for my taste, but I did appreciate the way in which the health and difficulty worked. Awesome job!
Snowball University by CrownCity 2016-01-03T20:32:00
Very cute game with awesome graphics!
The controls didn't feel very natural to me, since it failed me when it looks like I timed it fine. But other than that it was nice! An (endless) arcade mode would definitely suit a game like this. :D Great work!!
Don't Clog the Arteries by Jakob37 2016-01-03T19:58:00
Nice game!! The gameplay and story really fit together perfectly.
Now There's Blood On Your Hands by Jun & Pate 2016-01-03T19:47:00
I can't stop thinking about what just happened XD Great job with the weird story concept, and I love the graphics and sound. Awesome work!
Arc by ChuiGum 2016-01-03T19:37:00
A fun and challenging game. Seems well balanced!
I'm not sure what I think of the powerup system, but I don't think it should be about guessing or remembering which colors do what.
I had to play in Chrome because there were lag spikes in Firefox. Your post-mortem didn't work in Firefox at all o_o. Everything worked fine in Chrome though.
All in all, great little game! Best of luck!! Hope to see this on mobile ;)
Andi, You're a Star by Dmitrix 2016-01-03T19:23:00
A good start for a game - that's what LD is for!
An interesting mechanic that you probably didn't intend, is that the size of the window determines how challenging the game is - sorta fits with the theme of "grow"! ;)
Xtreme Crop Duster Simulator '82 by rjhelms 2016-01-03T19:13:00
Very nicely done! The mechanics are super cool and feel very retro-arcade (the visuals and sound helps with that too of course, haha).
I would have rather had the controls inverted though; it makes more sense to me to press up to go upward instead of downward.
Either way, I got used to it. Very solid game. Good luck!!
Accretion Disc by tgrehawi 2016-01-03T19:05:00
It's actually really satisfying to play this! I love how the bigger you get, the more of the disc you can see. It seems well balanced, and it's really fun to play. Good job!
Snake Dog by Waynetron 2016-01-03T18:53:00
Wow, very nice! Visually well-designed, and definitely fun to play.
The gameplay isn't too new and the asteroids can appear unfairly and the wall collision isn't generous. But otherwise, gotta love a snake-like game! <3
The sounds were cool, and the wiggly paint art reminds me of Dittomat's style. :D
Beardgrow by esayitch 2016-01-03T18:37:00
Fantastic job on pretty much everything!!
Although I found controlling the player kinda frustrating, I thought it was extremely well put together and quite fun. :D
GrowingPain by ninos 2016-01-03T06:23:00
I'm really glad you were able to join the compo! For a really simple game, I think it gets its point across well, which is really cool! Although I hope I never have to spam-click to save someone's life... because clearly it hurts XD
Anyway, if you had more time, definitely focus on making it more interactive. Eye candy and visual/audio feedback go a long way! :D
Plants Attack by Luxorix 2016-01-02T23:07:00
Amazing work! Love all the mechanics you added - they seem to work really well, especially with how the difficulty progresses and your decisions are forced to be quicker.
Awesome art, has music, runs great, fits the themes, is quite fun... you really have it all, don't you!
A Bullet Hell Style Shooter Where One Button Controls Both Shooting and Moving, While Another Button Gives You Slightly Sarcastic Motivation. by Fanttum 2016-01-02T22:59:00
Haha, your voice acting was the best part xD
Great job making something with what little time you had.
I imagine it as though the pilot has no idea what they're doing, so when they start falling they freak out and press everything they can - hence one button to do everything.
Growbot by Sink 2016-01-02T22:48:00
Well done! I love the animations and the puzzle was fun.
It seemed like it was more about figuring out how the game wanted me to accomplish the tasks, rather than figuring out how everything should interact to proceed. That's okay, but not as rewarding as the other way around.
Either way, it's adorable and has a great level of polish for a game of this style. Love it! :D
GMO Overgrowth by Gyfis 2016-01-01T17:39:00
I like how the corncobs shoots corn at you!
It's cool that you had time to add some polished features (generation, upgrades, a map, etc) - the extra time you spent on them significantly improves the game.
Nice game!
Simultaneism by Bogden 2016-01-01T16:37:00
Well done! I made it above Zeriver - keeping the leaderboard alphabetical I guess ;)
http://i.imgur.com/m4g4qjR.png 60
Did you get the idea from Multitask?
I love how you have the player flailing to use different buttons - numbers, WASD, Space, and arrows. Really challenging but really fun! Definitely a thing you could get better at with a lot of practice and patience. An in-game scoreboard would be fantastic - I'm sure it would get more people really into it. :)
Also, I love the track you made for the game!
hARBOuR by Aurel Bílý 2016-01-01T06:04:00
I really love the water reflection - great work with the graphics! Would love to see a final polished version, because I think it has awesome potential to be a really fun platformer.
Nationbuilder by killthealias 2016-01-01T05:52:00
I like your idea! I wonder if you could expand this prototype into a simple tycoon-type game. Or I guess it also could be an idle clicker game, haha.
Tamamystery by Jezzamon 2015-12-30T20:08:00
Wow you weren't kidding, nice plot twist!
The game design is well thought out. I really love the music cute graphics too. Altogether, it's quite a fun little game. Best of luck! :D
Sprout by Wolve 2015-12-27T18:02:00
Nice solid game! I like the growing mechanic a lot - it looked really cool.
Morse GRO by GAFBlizzard 2015-12-22T03:32:00
First of all, yes it's super stressful. If this was my job, I would like to be paid pretty well, haha ;)
But this is a REALLY good concept, and it's executed really well. I would love to see a full game like this, because I feel like there's a lot of room for amazing gameplay with this concept. The important part would be to give the player breaks, so they're not rushing during the whole gameplay.
Great work!
Micros by gkxd 2015-12-20T06:56:00
Gameplay wise, I was hoping that you'd be able to grow a bit more, the more your colony grew, so you'd feel more powerful and be able to progress more. It'd also have more of an impact when you lose a member.
That being said, it IS nice that that the game is score-based, since it's harder to keep a large colony. From that perspective it's nicely balanced. Good job to both of you! :)
Repulsion by DieBackStudios 2015-12-20T06:38:00
I think you came up with a really cool concept! Needs a lot of tweaking, but definitely worth experimenting with. It would be pretty cool to watch an experienced player playing this game.
I'm not sure I understand why you have the growing/shrinking mechanic depend on the color. I think it should either not be a mechanic at all, or depend on the ball, to encourage switching. I don't know xD
Not sure why dos said it wasn't a web game... it is.
Anyway, good luck with the post-compo version!
Neo Oxygene by Jwatt 2015-12-19T17:40:00
Very unique game ideas and mechanics! I wonder if you could have implemented "growing" in the engage part of the game - it would be cool to have some sort of context as to what the game on the right is. Love the style, great work!
Need For Seed: Undergrowth by RhythmLynx 2015-12-19T04:55:00
Very cool idea for the theme! I like how the role of RNG adds a skill mechanic to the game. Feels pretty balanced!
Excellent job!
Growing Sakura by ripatti 2015-12-18T23:19:00
Fantastic puzzle!! I definitely think you should make a polished version of this - I can see people really enjoying it on mobile and PC. I'm amazed that you have 40 levels!
Acrodog by dvdfu 2015-12-18T07:08:00
AH! Love it! You nailed the gameplay spot on, and polished the game quite well. I only wish it saved the high score, haha. You MUST finish it up and release for mobile ;D
Concrete Jungle by Miltage 2015-12-18T07:01:00
Absolutely beautiful game! The physics and the graphics were practically perfect. It's really inspiring, and matched both themes better than I've seen any other game so far. Love it, excellent work!! ;D
Agent Hooker by Phoenix849 2015-12-18T05:23:00
Incredible!! The mechanics work super well, and the game looks beautiful. Great job with level design and difficulty too. Not much else to say - you both should be proud ;)
JUMPR by Supernaught 2015-12-17T15:26:00
Excellent use of the controls them - it's simple but it's what makes the game so fun. Very nice work - it's very fun, simple, pretty, and totally rage inducing! ;)
You should consider making a full version (for mobile?) :D
Venus and the Flies by fractalbear 2015-12-17T15:14:00
Very cool little game! I really love how it grows. And pretty much the same as the other comments said - needs replayability ;)
The Climbers by NirabazGAMES 2015-12-17T05:06:00
It's a stylish, well-polished game! I wish I had a friend to play with - I'm sure it would be hilarious. Good job!
Radical Revolver Recoil Rampage by AndreasL 2015-12-16T22:05:00
Gameplay ROCKS, great work! It's quite balanced and fun (not sure if every part is possible to beat though). I can imagine a leaderboard would do quite well for this game ;)
Life: The Game by ohmaigawd 2015-12-16T21:58:00
I really like it! The game flows quite well and is fun to play! Those eye pimples though... ouch. XD Good work! :D
Longbeard by Joe Williamson 2015-12-16T21:56:00
Incredible as usual! :D Obviously the game was short with the frantically-put-together level, but it's really obvious how much skill and hard work you put into things like this. I really hope you make a post-compo version of this. <3
Dizzy Dazzle by Tselmek 2015-12-16T21:34:00
It's fun!! I can imagine it would be an amazing mobile app with some extra polish (score, multipliers, and leaderboards would be super cool!). Good luck :D
Button Betting by torcado 2015-12-16T21:27:00
This game has it all! I was surprised that you had time to add the shop and everything - At first I expected the game to go on forever! Excellent work with everything - I hope you get great scores on this :)
Mobsferatu by CremaGames 2015-12-16T21:14:00
Very incredible work! The gameplay is nearly perfect, and all the art feels polished and moody. I love how the game is challenging, but fun - especially in that you can try out different paths to progress. Keep up with the great work!! I can see this potentially being a successful game in the market. :D
I must speak but there is only bongos by Ysty 2015-12-16T20:49:00
Haha! Very very well done! I saved the orphans <3 The physics were ridiculous but it definitely added to the charm. Good luck!
Growing Dragon by Erfeo 2015-12-16T20:03:00
Nice little game Erfeo! It seemed a bit buggy, but I think you balanced your time well enough (3 stages, whoo!). I liked how you changed things up for each stage, including the dragon graphic of course. I hope you consider making a polished post-LD version! :)
CHILL PILL by alvarop 2015-12-16T19:36:00
Haha! Awesome! I love the grandma, and the fun style to the art. And what a clever use of screen size!
Planty Gauntlet by ShadowBrain 2015-12-16T18:35:00
I'm not sure that kind doesn't have morals! But that's cool because you were able to do some unique things with them. I think their path following is nicely done. All things considered, it's a great little game :D
Carrot Stories by JaviCepa 2015-12-16T18:24:00
Great job!! I love the design of the game - it's memorable and atmospheric.
Barbarians with Cannons by hunttis 2015-12-16T17:08:00
Reminds me of the good ol' days playing Pocket Tanks and such! It looks good too :) Nice work and good luck!
Opcode-Powered Shuttle (working title) by Guard13007 2015-12-16T16:52:00
Your approach to this was really cool! I love how the UI changes to help you navigate the menus. Good luck with the post-LD version. You definitely have a great concept that I think a lot of gamers could get into.
Reap by managore 2015-12-16T16:41:00
I love how much you do with only 5 shades of one color. It looks so good!!
Game play is pretty good - I like the two-handed controls, not only as it fits the theme but just as a survival game feature.
Great job as always :D
Garden Grow by justinooncx 2015-12-15T02:14:00
Fantastic game all around - even seemed polished! :D I'm not sure if the difficulty is based mostly the random cloud movement or not, but I guess it's comparable to Doodle Jump's difficulty, which is a good thing considering how popular Doodle Jump became. Great work!!
Space Warrior by JanGames 2015-12-15T02:03:00
I like how the mechanics of shooting, growing, and colliding with enemies kind of balances themselves out. And I really love the different enemy types you've added. Great work!
Grava-Switch by danidre14 2015-12-15T01:52:00
I like that you explored having a shop and a level structure - makes the game have more replayability. Great work :)
Ludum Party! by FuzzyWuzzie 2015-12-15T01:35:00
Very cool game! I wish I had a friend to play it with, but thankfully you threw in a CPU to play against! Very nice job with the design, too.
You definitely started with a great idea. I think if you put a lot of polish into it, you could make an amazing party game out of it! :D
Grow Heart by chr15m 2015-12-14T07:33:00
This is a cute small game! I really love that you included a quote - made it feel more meaningful. I hope you inspire some more people with it :)
