LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Zombies 'N Spies by Wezley 2014-12-09T08:40:00

Eh. Good concept, decent execution.

DoomZone by CoolChesire 2014-12-09T07:27:00

Nice game, similar to Smash TV or a single-screen Gauntlet.

Admin vs BFU by jarnik 2014-12-07T19:55:00

Ha! I play the speedtest typing program with the "unix commands" word set. This game felt exactly like that. It would be nice to be able hold down the arrow keys to move instead of pressing them a bunch. But I had fun playing it.

Pinball Wizardry by dsilvers 2014-12-08T18:27:00

Nice lively game! The physics sometimes messed up, but altogether nice effects.

BREAK| |THROUGH by Jeremy Oduber 2014-12-09T08:47:00

Decent game. I like the spin on the classic block breaker concept.

Finish Your Project by AgentParsec 2014-12-08T03:18:00

Good mood, but it was hard to figure out the relationships between the tasks. Does eating or sleeping make you feel less grumpy? Does watching tv make you more grumpy or less? Does working on the project make you more grumpy or less?

Good use of mood, and the graphics fit well together.

Good Old Times by lekochen 2014-12-09T07:26:00

Uh...

Zymon by ming_tea 2014-12-08T03:31:00

Decent game. A good take on the Simon concept. Wouldn't it be better if the pattern stayed the same between rounds, just getting longer and longer?

Entire Screen of One Game by Tom 7 2014-12-09T18:35:00

Flat out: This is the winner.

Flamethrowers vs. Snowmen by jotson 2014-12-17T07:38:00

Ha ha, hilarious and fun. Full marks.

StarFighter by MegaMasterX 2014-12-08T18:23:00

Decent game.

S.I.N.E by FloatingGhost 2014-12-08T18:59:00

Nice game.

Interezza by oskardevelopment 2014-12-08T18:55:00

Good visuals, but I really didn't know what was going on. I've played the Risk-like dice games before, and I get that this is a real time version of that. But what happens when I click on a hex? How do my actions change what happens on the board? I can switch to other players, but why? Also, when it says "Blue player" does that mean the light teal-like blue or the dark purple-like blue? Kind of confusing to play. But if you work out the UI issues, this seems like it'd be a great game.

Just Dance Dance Discotron Central: Cobra War by RobotLovesKitty 2014-12-09T07:22:00

Bwhahaha. I have no idea what I'm doing but I like it.

Boss Rush by Nick Weihs 2014-12-17T07:41:00

Nice game. Immediately fun and uncomplicated.

Frosty Ninja by belva1234 2014-12-08T19:30:00

Between the music, sound effects, and smooth control, this is the best LD31 game I've seen yet. Full marks! I like how you combined the "one screen" and "snowman" themes too. :D

Screendom by el_kloklo 2014-12-08T20:26:00

Really complex gameplay. It'd be nice if there was a way to convey how to play instead of a wall of text. Also, I really couldn't figure out which color was my kingdom.

CHANGE - A homeless roguelike survival simulator by DanHayesGamer 2014-12-08T03:41:00

This game doesn't seem to get past the title screen for me. Chrome on Windows 7. What do I click on or press to start it?

SnoZonE by Fortyseven 2014-12-09T07:40:00

Bwhahaha, awesome.

Verutum Aether by Rother Games 2014-12-08T18:43:00

Good twist on the basics of Kerbal Space Program. The rocket launch animation got tedious after the first few ones. There were a lot of menus to navigate through, and it wasn't always clear what exactly had to be clicked on. Good game though!

CRUSH by AlexVsCoding 2014-12-07T20:04:00

The web link doesn't work right now.

Late Icedodger by Doubstract 2014-12-08T19:14:00

Good game overall. The use of parallax really helps the graphics, and I liked the polish with the asteroid flame effect. The game seemed to glitch after the snowball died. Solid game overall.

Late Icedodger by Doubstract 2014-12-08T19:14:00

Good game overall. The use of parallax really helps the graphics, and I liked the polish with the asteroid flame effect. The game seemed to glitch after the snowball died. The controls were really tight and well done. Solid game overall.

Dartfield Basegolf by Andy Gainey 2014-12-17T07:48:00

Kind of confusing to play. It took me a while to figure out how to play, and it's hard to know when to swing.

Tree and Fairy by twelveplusplus 2014-12-17T07:43:00

Kind of slow and repetitive. Could use different types of monsters. Great background music and sound effects though.

Winter is Nigh! by MaesK 2014-12-17T07:46:00

Nice variety of enemies. WASD controls would be nice.

neven by igoramendola 2014-12-17T07:31:00

Smooth animation, cute graphics, and just tricky enough to make me want to keep playing. Well done.

Nooo Bath Time!!! by Gabbmonkey 2014-12-08T18:16:00

Took a while to get used to the controls, but a pretty good game mechanic. I liked it.

AVOID by perfect victim 2014-12-08T18:51:00

Decent game, but you should probably use smooth movements instead of a discrete grid (or make the grid bigger). It was hard to tell how objects were moving, and mostly it just looked like they were randomly teleporting around.

ATSS - A Typical Space Shooter by Groydis 2014-12-08T03:30:00

Decent game. A good take on the Simon concept. Wouldn't it be better if the pattern stayed the same between rounds, just getting longer and longer?

ATSS - A Typical Space Shooter by Groydis 2014-12-08T03:32:00

Decent game. Nice graphics but the game play was a bit off. It's hard to control the ship and sometimes just dumb luck would result in getting me killed really early in the game.

Contact Cowboy by jrap 2014-12-09T08:36:00

Fantastic.

Creative Defense by sharp911 2014-12-08T03:28:00

The UI could be improved. It's too many things to click on in order to do simple actions, and moving the mouse back to the sidebar each time and having the prices separate from the item buttons is annoying. Decent game though!

Little Town by Wevel 2014-12-08T18:37:00

Game crashed for me. Windows 7 6-bit

0033 (sp00ked scr33n) by sportsquid 2014-12-08T03:19:00

I took me several rounds to realize that the 1 key is what fired the gun. Doesn't have a lot of variation in the enemies. It would be cool to have a cooldown timer or meter to show when I can shoot again.

Meltdown by Lovro Kalinovčić 2014-12-08T03:21:00

Decent game, but it's kind of frustrating when ice just disappears under you. I spent the first few playthroughs just waiting for a snowflake to appear on my island.

THE ONE SCREEN by falcon11445 2014-12-08T19:10:00

It'd be nice if you didn't die when you hit the edge of the screen. There seemed to be a large disconnect between how easy it was to move left and right and how slow it was to jump up and down.

Arena of Cube by maxyan 2014-12-07T20:01:00

Nice. Good use of minimalistic graphics but great game play. I get board with most bullet-hell top down shooters, but this one kept me entertained.

Blackout by kaa 2014-12-17T07:33:00

Great graphics and mood, though it seemed kind of random and out of the blue whether or not I did well in the game. Often I'd flee the enemies only to bump into a dead end. Good game though.

Disco Kitty Nightmare by Alendro 2014-12-17T07:51:00

Good music.

Do You Want to Build a Snowman? by Schwiggy 2014-12-08T19:01:00

Simple but silly. I liked it.

Fido, Fiona & Fidel by pjimmy 2014-12-09T08:45:00

Original concept. Took a while to get the hang of, but I like this game.

RGB by Conk 2014-12-08T20:34:00

Nice, solid game. It has fast-paced, easy to figure out how to play, and kind of addictive. Well done.

Ebola by OneMuppet 2014-12-08T20:16:00

A bit confusing to play. The graphics are really good though.

Color Company by Vulture Tamer 2014-12-08T03:24:00

I have no clue how to play. Do I click on the "get more pixels" button over and over? Where does it say how much cash I have? (Or is it in pixels?) What is causing my pixel count to rapidly change between 2 and 3?

Slippy - The hungry penguin by SpecialTrooper 2014-12-08T20:29:00

Fun game, but kind of slow.

I'm the robot. by Kaloqn 2014-12-08T19:22:00

Awesome first game. I could see this becoming much better given more time to polish it.

Entire Game Off One Screen by mr_mg 2014-12-08T20:29:00

Nice game. The controls were a little wonky but that just added to the fun. With some more time to polish I could see this being an awesome game.

Bug in your room by Harley77 2014-12-08T19:25:00

This is the best cat-throwing simulator I've played yet.

Why is there a bug on the ceiling?

:)

Diametric by JFern 2014-12-17T07:35:00

Nice concept, though it kind of gets boring fairly quickly.

Ball Bouncer 3D by AsGoodAsThis 2014-12-07T20:03:00

It's kind of frustratingly hard to figure out where the ball is, and at first I didn't know what I was supposed to do exactly or which ball I controlled.

7 Days of War by error031 2014-12-09T08:38:00

Simple gameplay, but very good atmosphere.

Jeff The Pink Penguin by Nielz 2014-12-08T20:13:00

Controls were kind of hard to manage, but the minimalist graphics were well used and the explosion effect was nice.

Elf Hunter by Kim Sjöberg 2014-12-08T19:36:00

Solid game! The graphics were pretty polished. Aiming was kind of hard, but enough to be challenging and not frustrating. You should make reloading automatically happen once emptying the clip.

The Unfettered Arrow by inkeystring 2014-12-08T19:28:00

Good original concept. The controls took some getting used to, but this was a solid game.

Antimatter by Andynonomous 2014-12-08T18:20:00

Pretty good. The curved shield layout is a nice twist on the general pong concept. I'd recommend making the controls based on sliding the mouse left and right rather than pressing the keys, and then using the mouse button to toggle the wall on and off.

Quantum - The Tail of Schrodinger's Cat by ArrowThroughHisEye 2014-12-08T20:18:00

Solid game. The shrink/enlarge mechanic was kind of confusing though.

GameJam Tychoon by davesoft 2014-12-08T19:04:00

Nice game, though the ui was hard to navigate. Maybe have a list of displaceable items to set the priorities instead. Also, it was hard to see the relationship between the tasks at the bottom and the priorities at the sides.

Train Time by Pietdagamer 2014-12-08T18:49:00

Menus were hard to navigate, and I wasn't sure if the tracks were actually matching up. It'd be nice if they automatically connected to each other. With development, I could see this becoming a pretty cool game though.

RIZUMUDEKATTO by EquipeJAM 2014-12-17T07:50:00

Nice graphics, but it got kind of repetitive.

RandomRemoteRush[RRR] by AwesomeAlliterationAlliance 2014-12-09T07:32:00

Good use of the theme, though the gameplay itself was hard in a frustrating way instead of challenging.

Andres Soto by AndresGames 2014-12-09T07:35:00

Good concept, though the gameplay was kind of confusing.

SIRTET by stray 2014-12-08T19:33:00

Oh man, this is a pro game. Simple but original game play, the UI is nice, and the strategy is easy to understand but takes skill to master. Well done.

Flaming Resistance by whitematterteam 2014-12-08T20:22:00

I couldn't get past the first enemy except by dumb luck. I'm not even sure what's going on since the cave is initially way too dark. I guess there's some way to light up the cave, but I couldn't figure it out.

Case #31 by Pestel Crew 2014-12-09T07:30:00

Really cool original concept.

Dragon Chambers by Steven Colling 2014-12-08T19:21:00

Good game, but it kind of got frustrating and tedious after trying to figure out what to craft and how to craft it. I restarted several times. But the graphics and "scroll around the screen" are the best I've seen in LD31 yet!

DOS Defender by skeeto 2014-12-08T20:23:00

Nice retro game.

Gay Love Cop by SuperPokeunicorn 2014-12-08T03:35:00

Nice game play. I wish the transitions for conversation items were more fluid though.
