LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Duality by cxsquared 2015-12-19T07:18:00

After a while, I realized that my touchpad treats left+right click as middle click, which was why I couldn't hit any of the "both" circles. I found a workaround though.

Neat idea. As other have mentioned, it needs some kind of predictability element.

Bullet hell at the end was an interesting twist, but it's hard to manage it while trying to click circles ASAP. Perhaps consider syncing the bullet patterns to the music and the circle positions? It might make the bullets more manageable--but it also might defeat the bullet-hell spirit. I have faith that there's a way to sync rhythm and bullet hell properly. Interesting concept regardless :)

You mentioned a growth mechanic, and I noticed the player size changes. Not sure how it worked though, I figure it's tied to score, but I was tiny in the end despite having a score over 100. Perhaps standards increase as the game goes on? I figure having a bigger cursor would make circles easier to click though (which would be nice in general).

On my most recent attempt of many, I got 113.

Great music and timings. Well done!

Good gradual tutorial. Nice touch with actually requiring the player to press arrows (or A,D) on the first one. The time limits seem very precise. I loved the snarky tutorial text!

I wanted more levels, but that's a good thing. The basics were covered, so not much I could ask for other than more weather configurations. Good job!

Took a while to get running, framerate on Mac made it unplayable. Tried to play with another person but it ran 1 to 2 fps

I liked the gravity-gun mechanic. It's nice to see asteroids working for you instead of against you for a change.

Didn't realize ships were inherently magnetic until I started writing this. I thought you had to "paint" asteroids with your beam first, so I was needlessly holding Control.

Explosive barrels are always a plus.

It would be nice to see who killed who in the killfeed.

The ship indicators were so subtle that I almost forgot to mention them--that's a good thing. It would be helpful if they hinted at distance.

Others have commented about multiplayer. I too was fooled for a while until I noticed "Press charge to restart" (not "respawn") and checked the source. But that just goes to show how complete your AI was. Good job!

Expando-ship by FireSlash 2015-12-20T19:32:00

Really awesome concept! Fun to play but a little confusing. Would love to see more!

Cool entry! Love the idea and the graphics.

Cluster Junk: The Secret of Trash Island by Two Scoop Games 2015-12-20T19:41:00

Super awesome all around. Music is catchy, graphics are great, and it's super polished. Really fun to play and throws me back to Katamari Damacy and Agar.io!

Poxy vs. the Aliens by Peach Pie Productions 2015-12-20T20:19:00

Really fun and addicting, just spent 30 or so minutes playing!

Broken World by Wayward 2015-12-20T20:47:00

Hilarious but a little long

Awesome! Super funny!

Mount FuJ by roaringcatgames 2015-12-15T03:09:00

Super fun and the audio is satisfying! Relaxing as well, despite death and destruction.

Help!!! IM A CACTUS!!! by RadianINC 2015-12-19T07:58:00

Concept sounds like fun, but no Linux or web build :(

I'll check back later in case you add one :)

Nice work on your first game!

The Chamber Crowd by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2016-12-15T01:37:00

Sounds give me a happy smile time. They was clack clack and I was he he. This game didn't have any graphix. Maybe it had 3? I had a fun anyway. :')

Room Service by alfadur 2016-12-15T00:19:00

Interesting game but really really difficult. Can't keep up with panda demands. Took me a really long time to figure out what to do, needs instructions on the description.

One passage room by Dyn 2016-12-15T02:17:00

Froze my browser! I liked it when my browser started working again. I had to reinstall firefox from SOURCE

After Party by saucygames 2016-12-15T00:52:00

Couldn't make it far due to the psychic shotgun person. Great graphics though

Junk in the Bunk by roaringcatgames 2016-12-13T20:02:00

Really fun game, lots of interesting ideas. Would have loved to see some more objects added.

Spell Bear by torcado 2016-12-15T01:59:00

Box Kingdom by Nordic Ninja 2016-12-15T00:46:00

Really difficult game, couldn't figure out the sequence to beat it. Kept dying and couldn't really get past putting the tooth on the person's head.

Baggage - A game of Roommate Bliss by chipmonkey 2016-12-14T20:43:00

I can't get over how funny it is when they slam into objects. It's just hilarious to imagine these two stomping around mad as hell until they die.

One Room Factory by Zgragselus 2016-12-15T00:55:00

Mac version gives "This application "osx64 cannot be run" and why is it a RAR file????????????????????///?/?????

One Room Factory by Zgragselus 2016-12-15T01:09:00

If I ever wanted to learn how to use a conveyer belt, this is the game for me. Needs a longer instruction manual, though.

4.5 by senabryer 2016-12-15T00:36:00

So difficult!!!! We got past the frying pan and couldn't figure out what was next! This game is fun with a group of people. Great jam game

White Room by MementoGames 2016-12-15T01:27:00

Great and fun game! Super challenging!
