LD17 — Islands (16)

Baby Leviathan: Eat All Fishies by ExciteMike

I like the controls, but I'm not an average player(an average player, based on everything I've observed, wants stick-up-the-ass responsiveness to their directions at all times). I was sad when I started noticing the levels repeating :(

Island Jumper by Xion

I really like the concept, but the jumping felt too cumbersome(I think it would work if you knew the arc beforehand and the gameplay was about fuel management instead), and nullness errors ended the game prematurely.

Rescue the Stranded! by Redbone

The enemy movements were too predictable, even when I cranked the difficulty all the way up. I probably would have gotten pretty addicted otherwise.

Every Java and .Net entry I've tried from this LD has failed. A really discouraging track record for both platforms :(

Zombie Grinder by demonpants

Tried again, also tried reinstalling Java...

A Fishing Adventure by Sophie Houlden

The grapple/swap/drop thing was a bit confusing at first but I got it after a few seconds. Was having fun, but I couldn't figure out the level with the glider fish and tall crates :( or is that the end?

Island Defender by Cooshinator

Kudos on the soundtrack.

False Flag by Baiame

You should get Dropbox...

Islands Survival by MrLL

Fun. You can "win" without moving left or right at all, just jumping. The center shot doesn't seem to kill you :P

Island Towers by Dzarg

Game ran at an unplayable framerate on my Intel integrated, and the HUD text at the top, but not the intro help message, was corrupted(a mosaic effect). I was surprised that no D3D option was available, I think I could have had it going faster with that.

Beebop The Island Hopper by treeman

This game practically had me jumping up and down in frustration(the good kind). :)

WeComeFromTheSkies by Mstrp2ez

With more UI refinement this could be a really fun game.

Super Macho Minesweeper by Mark Overmars

This game is a surefire blockbuster, destined beat the numbers of "Modern Warfare 2."

Jump Pirate by snowyowl

Some of those doublejump sequences made me think "Am I playing a Matt Thorson game?"

Hungry Hungry Castaways by Kenny G

Match-3 never felt so "life-or-death" before. I played longer than I thought I would, mostly to see if I could actually get a good result. Finally got one after cracking open the code and seeing that it requires 2500 points on day 1.

Something that bugs me though is that it should become easier to survive as more people starve :/
