SnakeFormer - Half Snake, Half Platformer by TobiasW 2014-05-19T14:39:00

Woo, I beat Level 4! Level 2 was the hardest because I didn't notice the powerup blocks.

Gravity by jsmars 2014-05-18T14:29:00

The perfect companion to the film :)

(Dang, I only collected three artifacts)

PEEL OFF THE PLANET by berunu 2014-05-15T13:46:00

World Record - 43200! : D

Grimy Little Game by Nocturnal 2014-05-15T13:21:00

World Record - 10! :D

(Okay, I figured it out on the second try)

Colony 31 by Crazi456 2014-05-15T13:18:00

I actually considered for a bit whether that was the Bastion VO - good impression! :)

Maniac PengMaku!! by spotco 2014-05-14T12:42:00

Whew, I beat it! The penguin seemed to be magnetized to a random direction - this increased the difficulty tremendously. Cute level transition.

Room Cleaning Simulator 2014 by lokijki 2014-05-14T12:06:00

Rolling around is surprisingly effective. I'm not supposed to dispose of the cookies, am I? ;)

Tsunami Cruiser by bvanschooten 2014-05-13T15:11:00

Nice look!

I believe the difficulty ramps up too slowly.

WOOD BIRD EGG DIG by voxel 2014-05-13T11:56:00

394 - WR! ;)

This game makes a lot of sense - pecking along the grain, etc

Insane Grandpa by jahlgren 2014-05-13T01:04:00

What a twist!

PS: Give a guy some attack range ;)

Escape Enclosures Expeditiously by zeh 2014-05-11T05:30:00

Wow, I didn't even notice the END message at first.

Breaking The Waves by BlazingFanfish 2014-05-11T04:04:00

AMAZING dialogue.

Mine Explorer by Joe Williamson 2014-05-10T21:52:00

MS Paint? Amazing.

Surface Tension by twistedshield 2014-05-09T20:01:00

I made it to level 6 - wow this is hard.

PET RUN/STOP by Ludonaut 2014-05-09T19:55:00

27159 - world record! : O

I am a Richard by Dezzles 2014-05-09T05:47:00

A story-driven runner game is something I haven't encountered before! I believe this is held back by its difficulty. Some sections seem impossible, which is compounded by framerate dips and sparse checkpoints.

Damned Scouts! by Lama 2014-05-09T03:28:00

I got the ghost octet! Lots of murder in LD 29 ;)

Delve by conormn 2014-05-09T03:15:00

It has a good look! I'm glad this turned into a real game - I too was confused by the premature submission.

Temple of Ra by Split82 2014-05-08T19:34:00

I adored this - the best puzzler.

Senilescape by Xaychru04 2014-05-08T19:23:00

Some of these sections seem impossible. :|

More checkpoints, or easier jumps would help.

Scout by cardboard 2014-05-08T08:29:00

I beat it! (With step-by-step help from the author)

The two puzzles are ungodly tough, but its pleasant storybook appearance won me over. There is even world-building with the bunny linguistics, however it is so well-hidden that likely no players will discover on their own.

FuMeKuRi (page-turner) by negiyan 2014-05-08T06:31:00

5/5 cuteness

Order of the Mind by Crefossus 2014-05-08T05:36:00

Reveal command is key here. It was the only thing standing in the way of me completing this without help. Lots of different directions time travel could take in a text adventure. Maybe the player travels to the stone age to find the now tapped out cuerlium.

Igneous by torcado 2014-05-08T05:13:00

Not one "ingenious" pun? SMH, commenters.

It Came From The Sewer by Catman 2014-05-08T05:05:00

Wow at this - sick the aliens on the little girls.

You Win font is incredible.

Kitsuni by SecondDimension 2014-05-08T02:29:00

Whose game can top this game's art?

Square Rooted by adamwfindlay 2014-05-08T01:57:00

Presentation is perfect. Nice pun ;)

Topsail by Devon 2014-05-08T01:49:00

This is definitely beautiful. Give it another shot!

From under the snow by madflame991 2014-05-08T01:46:00

How do I progress after picking up an item? The game seemingly stops.

Earthen Terror by arkeus 2014-05-08T01:41:00

Swapping tiles so they fall off - I like this.

Tic-Tac-BOOM by ttfreire 2014-05-08T01:36:00

I'm sorry, I am too dumb to play this. :|

Baconizers: Into The Abyss by berryhermans 2014-05-08T01:30:00

2 seaweed - World Record!

Pixel Draw by zebi24 2014-05-08T01:22:00

Cute!

Dungeon Jelly by Detocroix 2014-05-07T23:17:00

I'm jelly of those jelly animations. Difficult game for the colorblind.

Super Plumber Brothers by arrogant.gamer 2014-05-07T21:57:00

Hey guys, I figured out how to break blocks.

There is another Mario clone where you fall through the floor most of the time. You got ground detection down ;)

I got 9 flowers before I got stuck in a wall. Amazing amount of secrets in this game.

Orlok's Ordeal by Daveloper 2014-05-07T20:55:00

Wait, what was his treasure? I missed it!

Hiya Haystack by commanderstitch 2014-05-06T05:34:00

The farmers are just trying to find their needle.

Balancitos by NickZangus 2014-05-05T23:31:00

I know I've fucked up when the island is perpendicular to the water.

One Cold Night by hyouko 2014-05-05T22:04:00

I have found food, but have yet to find a single person

Pressure by Nezzhil 2014-05-05T21:51:00

40,409 - Thankfully the fire did not engulf my torpedoes

Sprites.CSV: Cute,Snuggly,Versatile by awppy 2014-05-05T21:42:00

I was worried I wouldn't be able to run this one. I got it up and running but I was colliding with invisible hitboxes, so I assumed I was missing a dependency. :D

Close Your Eyes by AestheticGamer 2014-05-05T21:24:00

"And if you die, well that would be annoying, wouldn't it? We haven't had a save since before the final boss fight"

Come on, you know what you're doing! I'm not going to keep brute forcing this until I finish it :|

DeepStep by AlbertoSM 2014-05-05T20:41:00

Is it possible to get all of the squares on a screen? I tried to pass through them all but I couldn't think of a way to do it if the distance between them wasn't a multiple of 3.

Beneath The Surface by adamwoolridge 2014-05-05T20:32:00

I'm jealous of your destruction animations :)

Beneath the Earth by darkinferno 2014-05-05T20:28:00

I have to agree, the jumping is tough to work with. I played another game with a similar issue during this compo, and I couldn't complete his (I beat yours :] )

I believe platformers feel best when they are partially modeled on basic Newtonian mechanics. It appears that you are instantly flipping the player's velocity when he reaches the apex of his jump. It will feel much nicer if the player slows down as he reaches the apex of his jump, then accelerates on the way down until reaching terminal velocity. From there, playing with the constants is all that is needed to find the right "feel."

The Sea Has No Claim by dukope 2014-05-05T19:52:00

Wow! I understood it immediately. How did you get so many types of rescue units working in 48 hours?

BreakDown by Snorry 2014-05-05T04:41:00

116 - World Record! ;)

TakeOver by randyyaj 2014-05-05T04:22:00

We met at the Microsoft Campus. Yours is the first of that group I've stumbled across. Fix the loading issue so I can try it out! :)

Tebak Nusantara by t.kesgar 2014-05-05T04:20:00

I'm guessing this is a geography game. Unfortunately, I do not speak Malay(?) or know a single province of Indonesia, so I cannot play. :(

Bricked by twelveplusplus 2014-05-05T04:05:00

I believe this might be greatly improved by increasing ball speed and shrinking the playing area vertically. The player spends a good deal of time waiting for the ball to return, especially if it makes it past the last row.

Jetpack Caverns by Mental Atrophy 2014-05-05T03:53:00

The meat and potatoes here were outstanding." - agreed. There's definitely a solid foundation here. Detonating bomb pillars was a fun goal in itself.

The upgraded weapons leave too soon. I believe the upgraded weapons would feel more powerful if they were given more permanence, although maybe I am too entrenched in the genre's tropes.

And thank you for making binaries. A few people have just uploaded their Python source and I haven't been able to play. ;)

Eat Champ by mrjohnson22 2014-05-05T03:19:00

I believe I have the world record: 4

Can anyone dethrone me?

Atoms - Literally beneath the surface by Anny 2014-05-04T06:15:00

I did the last level like five times wondering what I was doing wrong, haha.

How did Mario died ? by leo_gri 2014-05-04T06:07:00

This was a game. :)

GLUCKAUF TROLL by Pixelfan Games 2014-05-04T04:55:00

Everybody loves the minecart levels in Donkey Kong Country! I think this would be more fun if, like in DKC, the challenge was to stay on the track, rather than dodging rocks.

Blackwald Forest by RevelBase 2014-05-04T03:56:00

Wow, I feel TERRIBLE :|

Hostile Planet by rezoner 2014-05-04T03:44:00

Guten tag!

The Creature Below by hissssssssss 2014-05-04T03:28:00

I'm loving all of the short Metroidvanias in this jam

Paranoia by WetDesertRock 2014-05-04T03:03:00

I had a feeling you were pulling a Cohen ;)

Inner Demons by voidqk 2014-05-04T02:45:00

You fooled us all.

ScubaBear by _Rilem 2014-05-04T02:20:00

I do not know what half of the items did. Do you have a list?

Ground control to major Tomashevsky by drnick 2014-05-03T23:47:00

PLOT HOLE!!! :O

USSR develops incredible propulsion technology to get to Neptune, but uses leftover sandwich bags for the space suits.

IO - Reflection/Puzzler by oranebeast 2014-05-03T23:24:00

I have always been fascinated with laser chess but have never actually played. This is the closest I've come. It's still as cool as I envisioned. I would have liked some harder puzzles!

Eskimo Run by locknic 2014-05-03T06:12:00

Smashing through the ice looks awesome!

Laser Match by mokesmoe 2014-05-03T03:48:00

Combo matches are scary.

Ben is the Surf Ace by lessmilk 2014-05-03T03:08:00

Animations are too cute!

Ben Eath The Surf Ace by mess110 2014-05-02T22:07:00

How did I fall for Ctrl+W? :U

Surface of Sanity by Shigor 2014-05-01T20:20:00

The game is kinda scary with the flashlight disabled :|

Something Fishy by AnnaGavaldaKedavra 2014-05-01T20:11:00

Can't move. Did I get eaten?

An Ode to Violence by Benn 2014-05-01T17:50:00

Why is slow mo so fun?

PORTHOLE by Ragzouken 2014-05-01T15:55:00

Woah, claymation?

Water Temple by pLaw 2014-05-01T15:18:00

Figured it out, finally.

FISH! by poxpoxpox 2014-05-01T04:49:00

Fishing line animation and control are top notch.

Tiny Haunt by rojo 2014-05-01T02:46:00

Tossing arrows feels GREAT

Get Beneath The Surface by rujo 2014-05-01T02:39:00

The other kind of puzzle platformer. Good idea.

Rain Dance by 7heSAMA 2014-04-30T22:16:00

You made a game! :)

Fist of Truth by djdduty 2014-04-30T20:28:00

We need the KNEE

Radix by phi 2014-04-30T19:53:00

185m!

Cognitive Dissonance by larouxn 2014-04-30T19:32:00

Cool! Control +F kept popping up. Was that intentional to increase the challenge?

COVERUP by SFBTom 2014-04-30T19:16:00

Oh man. I was worried they were going to start running off the screen.

Surf Camp: The Legend of the Surf Ace by GertJohnny 2014-04-30T19:06:00

I laughed when I realized the rock paper scissors battles are fake.

Super Scrool Bros by eLLectron 2014-04-30T18:32:00

Am I supposed to fall through the floor? Haha. I really can't tell if this is a bug or I'm playing I Wanna Be the Guy. I think it's a feature, though - Flappy Bird, esque. 5/5 Fun and Humor

RGB - Beneath the Surface by pixelpun 2014-04-30T18:16:00

Success! I didn't think I could beat it. I DO feel good about myself.

Magma Surfer by r2d2upgrade 2014-04-30T17:01:00

I normally hate the Wilhelm Scream, but it's perfect here ;)

punk n roll by grozamorei 2014-04-30T06:50:00

A representative screenshot would attract more attention, I think ;)

Killer Without Color by GlowingSnail 2014-04-30T05:51:00

The increasing height of the gradients as you descend expresses the sense of depth quite well.

Vertico by UltimateWalrus 2014-04-30T05:42:00

I'm getting major Operation Neptune vibes here! Was this intentional?

Sundiver by kmakai 2014-04-30T05:10:00

Found this game on accident because my nick is "Makai" on IRC. I am pleasantly surprised by Stardiver. I think the trick is to draft behind walls to avoid enemies!

Kraken Unchained by jedeen 2014-04-30T03:43:00

It says there's music. Is it Chrome only?

Two Dimensional by kevinAlbs 2014-04-30T03:37:00

I await the email!

Great pun ;)

Kill or Kill by GreatBigJerk 2014-04-29T22:50:00

Bubble Cannon by Acuity 2014-04-29T22:33:00

Is there a goal?

ECM by Tamik 2014-04-29T22:29:00

I cannot figure out jumping for the life of me. Help, please

The Danger Beneath by mihaivdev 2014-04-29T22:23:00

I survived the deep!

SurfaceDare by Skabunkel 2014-04-29T22:04:00

Humor 5/5

Lost Villages by GAFBlizzard 2014-04-29T21:28:00

5:47/126 - I figured out how to find things without excavating a whole region near the end of the game. :|

Monstrenga by Marcos Rodrigues 2014-04-29T21:12:00

How do we proceed without killing the children?

Wriggle Worm by gikdew 2014-04-29T21:05:00

I'd like to see this with an elongated player worm!

Deepeon by HacksawUnit 2014-04-29T20:45:00

Successful demake of horror genre. Unique sprites for each shooting angle - great touch. Usually people just rotate the sprite, which wouldn't work with your big pixel style.

Dr. Pepsi Marriage Consultant by Thingo Studios 2014-04-29T20:38:00

Story was incomprehensible, but I have never seen anything like that before. You get a 5/5 for innovation. Hideo Kojima, is that you?

I Remember Alice by Linus Lindberg 2014-04-29T20:16:00

Twist ending?

The Valley Rule by Raiyumi 2014-04-29T17:51:00

I beat it! I doubt many will, though. Those walljump challenges are unforgivable. What I thought was a cute and easy Metroidvania suddenly turned into I Wanna Be The Guy. :|

Surf Ace by Lyonsbanner 2014-04-29T17:17:00

That surfer is a real pro

Beneath the Surface by FistBumpGames 2014-04-29T17:13:00

Presentation is perfect.

One critique: Dodge seems useless, as evidenced by my running attacks hitting enemies while they dodge. The dodge is shorter than attack ranges, and is even shorter while running. I might be better off just running backwards.

Atomicle - LostAutumn.net by AutumnGuy 2014-04-29T16:24:00

This is the most fun of all that I've played. The reversals are brilliant.

Magma by DMinsky 2014-04-29T16:19:00

This fits the theme better than any other, I think. Something powerful lurks beneath the surface.

BULLA by moonmagic 2014-04-29T15:52:00

Loved it!

Dig Hard by petey123567 2014-04-29T15:49:00

You got my first, and likely last, 5/5 in all categories. : O

Please Come Back by PapyPilgrim 2014-04-29T05:29:00

Funny parody of the source game.

Speed of Light by Robotic 2014-04-29T02:11:00

Loved it, played it early on
