LD25 — You are the Villain

Fragmentorum by blackotus 2012-12-20T21:38:00

I liked the atmosphere of the game! But the control feels a bit slow, and I think a bug happened after I got the red knife (I was playing the web version. Ah, and the Windows version's screen got cut in the sides...). But I will try again! =)

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Hand Drawn Hero by Ritzblues783 2013-09-14T23:59:00

I had 26 deaths. Did I die much? Hehe =D

The gameplay was simple, but a bit slippery in the first level. I liked the style of the visuals! Very great art!

For a "quick-made" game, I liked it! =)

Black Hole Arena by Andrei Müller 2013-08-27T23:46:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be sure to rate your games too! =)

UPDATE: I just changed the Web Version link, now you can play the game directly from your browser, without the need to download it first.

If someone else plays this game, any feedback is appreciated! :-D

YHTSTFO by skarab 2013-09-14T23:48:00

Mission complete! \o/

Some levels were tricky, but I liked that each level had it's own gimmick.

I found this game very fun to play! (even if a bit frustrating at times)

Encounter by geekdrums 2013-09-15T00:32:00

It was a very short experience, but I liked it. Very unique!

Also, very cool music! ;)

Antidote by Antidote 2013-09-14T22:42:00

This game was really fun to play! I felt very tense from start to finish, because of the 10 second time limit on the levels. It was a great use of the jam theme! =D

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Generic Adventure Game by Jezzamon 2014-05-18T04:43:00

You made a PERFECT game! Congratulations! =D

I loved the story, visuals, and the style of the game! The dream world is gorgeous...

And I really liked the songs of the game!

Hot Diggity by DragonXVI 2014-05-17T10:23:00

This is one of the most awesome games I ever played! I would buy it if it was commercially released!

What I liked the most was the upgrade feature, it really shines your game! =D

Lim by Rabbits... 2014-05-17T01:43:00

Nice game! I liked the simple 2D platformer gameplay, and the storytelling was great!

Castle Engineer by KayZ 2014-05-17T08:30:00

This is a very funny game! xD

Nice concept! Now I will see with different eyes the evil castles and dungeons that exist in many games, hahaha!

If the game had more levels, with different types of traps and heroes in them, it would be AWESOME!

The Day After by caryoscelus 2014-05-18T18:54:00

Nice plot twist! The story was short, but it was so interesting that I played the game until I made all 5 endings. Great work! =)

The "true ending" looks kinda like a "sequel hook", in my opinion... I would like to see a continuation of the story! ^^

BSEMW by Willowblade 2014-05-17T07:27:00

The art is nice, and I found the game pretty funny! =D
Anyway, this is a great starting point for a greater project, so keep it up! ;)

Truth by Jason Lay 2014-05-17T06:09:00

Wow! This is a very deep game...

The storytelling of this game is very good, I liked the great metaphor that this game tells to the player.

Some audio might've been good, though... But, overall, playing this game was a great experience for me!

Harold's Musical Hamventure by Space_man 2014-05-17T07:40:00

If you guys continue this project, well, looks like it will be a very trippy and fun game! =)

Nice music at the end!

The Last Dwarf by Nuclear_Hammer 2014-05-17T09:30:00

Very fun (and frustrating!) retro-style game!
Nice graphics, sound and music!

But I think the stairs are too hard to find, and the enemies respawn rate makes the game too hard... I only found one set of stairs before the Game Over.

Overall, a nice game!

Revenge (Ludum Dare 29 - Beneath the Surface) by Andrei Müller 2014-05-17T02:08:00

Thank you for all the feedback! =D

I have plans to continue working on this game. In fact, I already made some adjustments on my Unity project (especially on the camera and some balancing issues).

Revenge (Ludum Dare 29 - Beneath the Surface) by Andrei Müller 2014-05-17T07:58:00

@phi
Well, having a plot is better than not having a plot, right? =)

But I understand what you mean, phi. The real problem, naturally, was the limited time to make the game, haha.
That's why this version of the game doesn't have a clear goal (other than scoring points).

Revenge (Ludum Dare 29 - Beneath the Surface) by Andrei Müller 2014-05-17T10:04:00

@607
Thanks for the comment! I composed the music. ;)

To tell you the truth, the alien deaths were intended to be even more gruesome!

The heads of the aliens would fall off instead of simply disappear, and they would even had a random chance of exploding! (killing even more aliens in the process)

Revenge (Ludum Dare 29 - Beneath the Surface) by Andrei Müller 2014-05-18T01:41:00

I just posted here a new version of the game (in the "Post-Jam" link above). I tried to rebalance the enemy spawn rate and fix some camera issues. It's probably not perfect yet, though, haha!

I also added more sound effects in the game! =D

@vilya
The game already has a double-jump, I know I forgot to put the instructions in-game, but in this page I wrote about it in the description. The variable height jump is a great idea, also! I'll try to implement it later. =)

I Remember Alice by Linus Lindberg 2014-05-18T17:58:00

A nice entry on this compo! More people should play this game, the message it passes is very uplifting!

Radix by phi 2014-05-18T05:01:00

Very original game! I like it!

Souvenirs by BadPaul34 2014-05-18T05:45:00

A nice take on the theme! And I really liked the story and the soundtrack of this game!

Fallen by Joaogl 2014-05-18T05:56:00

I guess I don't have the "OpenGL 3.0+" you recommended at the download page. After I select "Play" at the title screen, a white screen appears and that's it... =(

Beneath The Memories by StuffBySpencer 2014-05-18T03:55:00

One of the best games I played so far in this Ludum Dare!
Nice game! =D

Under Riders by calvinsm 2014-05-17T09:58:00

I really liked the retro "Atari" feel of the game! Pure nostalgia...

The co-op gameplay is very interesting, and the game sure is challenging, at least for me! =D

Down the snail hole by oxysoft 2014-05-17T01:56:00

Great game! It was a quite obvious, but nice use of the theme.

If you continue developing this idea, I think adding more types of enemies/ants/obstacles would make the game more interesting. :)

SporeMurai by nearman.cj 2014-05-18T03:46:00

I really like "exploration-based" platformers, like Metroid and Castlevania! I also liked the "plants" theme and the style of the characters!

By the way, I think a map screen would be VERY useful for this game! ;)

Come Home by cwkx 2014-05-17T06:54:00

Very touching story! I didn't think it was crude. =)

Also, awesome pixel art and song!

Breaking The Waves by BlazingFanfish 2014-05-18T06:50:00

I really like RPG Maker games, and I had much fun playing this game!

I loved the anime-styled story and characters (I'm a huge fan of anime), and in my opinion, the focus on the story and the linearity brought a nice pacing to the game. I was hooked till the end! =)

I hope I'm not asking too much, but... Please make a sequel for this game, a continuation of the story! I want to see more adventures of Ben, Serena and Viena! =D

Beneath the Rain by CruelMotivator 2014-05-17T09:00:00

This game is very polished and complete! One of the best games I played on this LD!

Very atmospheric, and I really liked the message of this game. =)

the two of you by 607 2014-05-18T05:24:00

This looks like a very fun puzzle-platformer! But it's too frustrating for me... I stopped playing on the second level.

I think the difficulty needs to be rebalanced, but overall, it's a nice game! =D

Clarity by aburkenstein 2014-05-17T05:57:00

Great game! The only problem for me is that I don't know whether I found all the items in a level or not...

I don't know if I collected all the parts, but in the end, the parts that I found formed a "hooded character", but without arms and a face. Kinda like a ghost or a spirit...

Badass Pinguin by theundeadwarrior 2014-05-17T09:10:00

I couldn't run this game... At the title screen, when I press Spacebar, the game crashes.

TruthZone by eowindil 2014-05-17T08:15:00

Very nice game and an interesting take on the theme!
I liked the art, audio, and the level design.

Ludvig by aslakhol 2014-05-17T02:17:00

For your first year learning how to code, this sure became a neat little game! Good job!

I also learned a lot on this LD, I hope you keep making games, it's a fun way to practice your coding skills! =D

Beneath the Surface 60 seconds dash by NuvlearGames 2014-05-17T07:04:00

I laughed really hard while making the character fly and roll in the corridor, AT THE SPEED OF SOUND!!!

Not the best game that I rated, but it's sure one of the funniest! =D

Incursion by pichifino 2014-05-17T09:41:00

What a twist!

Overall, I had a very nice experience playing this game. And the ending is hilarious! Nice work!

River Raid 3d by harko12 2014-05-17T08:39:00

An interesting take on the theme, and also a nice twist to River Raid's gameplay!

This would make a REALLY nice game if more fleshed out. Keep it up! =)

Living Blue by hiiii5 2014-05-17T09:44:00

Well, what can I say... I think it's a great starting point for a bigger game! =)

Abstraction by cr2crstudios 2014-05-17T01:37:00

A creative use of the LD's theme! You should continue working in this game, I think it would be very fun! (and great to teach "game programming" concepts to newbies!)

Water Miner by elefantopia 2014-05-18T04:13:00

Awesome game! Digging the scenery is soooo sweet!

Going Deeper by Killswitch 2014-05-17T07:17:00

I'm sorry to say this, but I tested your game (I downloaded the .dll) and I think this game is "much too simple" to deserve being posted on the LD... And you REALLY had to include the SDL2.dll in the game's download.

But, I sure hope you have learned some coding by doing this project! Keep practicing, and you will sure create better games next time! =)

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

The Blues by jrbitt 2014-12-09T08:26:00

I played once until the fadeout, didn't found the exit, haha... Or maybe, "that" (the fadeout, game over, "death") is the only exit? A clever game!

Vertical Defence by zanenga 2014-12-14T14:44:00

Wow, this game is very cool! (and very hard, I like it!)
Perfect for mobile devices! The game could have some powerups to improve the player's shot (the default laser is awesome, by the way). And like other users said above, your game is nicely polished, great work! =D

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Greedy Knight by felipeberquo 2015-05-11T23:09:00

I like this game! :-D The simple and fun gameplay is really good for this type of game, and I also liked the art and music (and the funny voices for the SFX!).

Cool upgrade system! That gives a great "meaning" for the items that the player collect, I like when an Infinite Runner has purchasable items that directly affect the gameplay.
