LD30 — Connected Worlds

Cable Guy by Endurion 2014-08-26T05:55:00

Took me about 20 minutes to get to this screen - http://gyazo.com/c8472b54424bd5105df738677d642d76 - loved every minute of it! Nice game, with a bit of visual improvement you have a solid project! Wicked entry

The Trader by TravisChen 2014-08-26T04:31:00

Really great atmosphere, I can't really explain it but it feels good to sail the boat. Also the simplistic art style really complimented the game!

STOP THE ALIENS by ArthurMaker 2014-08-26T05:20:00

If it's not necessary you should develop on older versions of Java so that more people can play it (people usually get annoyed by the Java updater). I would also limit the amount of bullets that can appear on screen at a time because I seemed to start lagging once I fired a few. The art needs a lot of work.

Sleepy Time by SkyWolf 2014-08-28T08:56:00

That artwork! It's beautiful! Great submission, although... it did make me a little sad that I could throw a NES around ;) but seriously YOU NEED TO CARRY ON MAKING GAMES!

Flip by Lycaon 2014-08-26T04:09:00

Use of a very potential mechanic! More levels using said mechanic would produce a great game!

Dots by vinull 2014-08-28T09:33:00

Really enjoyed that! Seen a few of these designs kicking about this jam and each one has been a great laugh, but yours has the flippy mechanic which is awesome! Nice submission, the music was a great fit too!

Brawler & Mage by Crazi456 2014-08-28T08:29:00

I really like the UI! The art style is really cool too ^^ Nice submissio, keep it up!

Connect the Planets by peterentwistle 2014-08-26T21:00:00

For a learning experience you have done really well! I too started LD a while back to learn more about games and crunching work, so I hope you got as much out of the competition as I did! Nice work

Into The Shadows by Dans17 2014-08-26T06:19:00

I love the flashlight mechanic, really reminds me of Alan Wake. Sadly I couldn't even find the key haha but from everything I played the game is really well put together!

Crece-above-Clouds by Solifuge 2014-08-26T05:37:00

Took me a little while to figure out but I enjoyed what I played! It's also really nice to look at as well! Great job :) Looking forward to seeing the direction the post jam build goes

Spirit Bridge by Kep 2014-08-28T08:15:00

Wow, I was terrible my first time around! But I tried again... and still sucked ;D Nice entry nevertheless, keep it up!

Growing To The Moon by Stending 2014-08-26T04:48:00

I love these kinds of games! Great job, there was one area that made me rage and you happen to have it as a screenshot! I couldn't get through these!! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/compo2/375043/25361-shot2.png

nice entry though!

InfiLoop by komjaur 2014-08-26T20:40:00

very interesting! I love antichamber and using it as your inspiration has definitely helped! Nice entry

Signal Seeker by herniewise 2014-08-26T04:21:00

A very attractive game, controls are really easy to pick up. I tried playing it on Safari (on OSX Mavericks) but the browser crashed, works fine on Chrome though!

The World Within by Oxeren 2014-08-26T05:16:00

Great artwork and cool use of the theme. Also... I totally want to watch/play Car Wars! Make it your next project ;) good job!

zero_sum by FakeHair 2014-08-26T04:37:00

Very cool, nice mechanics. Level generation appears random but at the same time still possible, nice entry!

Dear Kitty by Midnight Creators 2014-08-26T05:08:00

THIS GAME IS BEAUTIFUL! I can't believe it ended so quickly! Make it a full game please! :D

Isles in the Sky by Tanner 2014-08-26T06:55:00

Dude, this game. Playing it next to my friend, both of us are racing to the crystals and the fact the movement is "slightly buggy" is just making it ever more hilarious! Great job on the project!

Disconnecting People by Once Upon a Team 2014-08-26T04:40:00

I'm really enjoying this game and really hope that you keep going with this, I almost broke a million score! Extremely beautiful too!

Line Crossing by Lissar 2014-08-26T05:35:00

Very beautiful game with a great atmosphere, I did find it hard to read the text with the current font though.

Telecaster by vulpineblazeyt 2014-08-26T04:54:00

Cool use of the theme, some of the narration of the planets was great :D Actually manage to tell a cool story! Nice entry, although somewhat confusing to figure out gameplay from the word go

Dimension Hopper by dkkarate 2014-08-28T08:46:00

Couldn't run it on web either :( that's a shame, hope you find a way to fix it ^^

Don't Eat Cute by gnerkus 2014-08-28T09:15:00

Cool idea! I found it pretty difficult, but it was fun! Nice submission, keep it up

TERA - World's Intelligence by NicePenguins 2014-08-28T08:53:00

Nice! A game that stands out from the rest (as far as I have seen). Great submission :)

Connected Worlds by Jacksack and JordanFitz by JordanFitz 2014-08-26T04:27:00

Loved the face drawing feature! Kicked the game off to a great start! The world switching mechanic and singleplayer co-op style puzzles were great! good job

CONET by glenaskey 2014-08-26T05:48:00

The game is interesting and I think that it'd be a lot more fun once it has more levels. Although, the art is very basic.

Gimbal Fighter by kumoi 2014-08-26T05:29:00

Very cool! I don't have an Oculus sadly (but I have developed for it) and I can imagine it working really well at the same time as making the player feel very motion sick! Nice entry!

The Field by DrPrettyPatty 2014-08-28T09:07:00

Love it! Nice art style, cool dialogue and it works with my PS4 controller! Hope you guys do a post jam with more content! (Only if you enjoyed making it ofcourse).

Connect your Worlds by MrP123 2014-08-28T09:20:00

Interesting use of the theme considering social networks are ALOT of people's worlds these days! Nice sub

gravity by r0x0r 2014-08-26T05:03:00

I loved the music! Relaxing and great ambient feeling as I was floating around space jumping from planet to planet! Nice entry, good job!

Also our Linux build is up as you requested :)

Work World by bw 2014-08-28T09:36:00

Loved the little sayings! I was reading them all so seriously until I hit the guy who was all "I have green hair" then i just realised it was going to get funnier! Great sub

Coplanarity by awsumpwner27 2014-08-26T05:42:00

Nice little submission.
I had to restart a couple of times due to me managing to break the second level by moving the travelling point and then falling off without it. Sigh, nice entry though and welcome to LD :D

Escape by Budda 2014-08-26T06:05:00

The game is really interesting, my only major issue with it is that the enemies do not pause when a text box appears which freezes the player so that you end up dying :(

Viewpoint Twins by davidcollado 2014-08-28T09:56:00

Enjoyed it! Thanks for the "Mac users" help :D +1

Antipode by BROWNY_09 2014-08-26T04:19:00

Nice idea with the switching of the worlds to get around obstacles. With the right level designs this could be a great playthrough! Good job

Rift Walker by Skills641 2014-08-26T07:01:00

Difficult but fun! Loving the use of the world switching mechanic! Nice entry.

The Old One by JNT 2014-08-28T09:23:00

Took me a little while to get it working on OSX (should have read your notes first haha!) I was pretty confused at first, but a nice sub :) keep it up

Viking Runner by Frump 2014-08-26T05:08:00

Game looks fantastic but I seem to hit a lot of walls, not sure if I'm just really bad or if you could maybe make gravity a bit heavier.

Into Orbit by DarkUser 2014-08-26T05:13:00

Awesome idea! Found it pretty tricky to get a decent set up but there are a huge amount of possibilities! Great fun with an arcadey tune behind! Nice entry!

Dark World: The Quickening by dydx 2014-08-26T04:59:00

The pixel art is really nice, great touch adding the cape. I managed to get stuck so sadly I can't give you too much :( I did find it a bit awkward jumping up in confined areas where the map kind of zig-zagged

GPS: Galactic Parcel Service by lakael 2014-08-26T05:25:00

Really nice polished game! Especially for 72 hours, great job! You guys NEED to continue devving, you've got something solid here! Best of luck, great entry!

FLIP! by SetArray 2014-08-26T04:04:00

very enjoyable. I was surprised to see how many levels could implement the mechanic. Nice entry!

Would be a great little game to expand on!

Abridged worlds by littlerockplanet 2014-08-28T09:51:00

Fun little game, enjoyed it! If I had to point out one thing that I didn't like it would be the controls, when I was on a planet I felt like the controls were becoming muddled up. It might have just been me, but due to the spherical based movement it really felt like it was going the wrong way at times, I'm not 100% sure though! Other than that, great sub!

Adamantium Cyborg by TD5 2014-08-28T09:18:00

Cool game! Nice work :) Liked the audio

BLACK HOLE by Very Fat Squirrel 2014-08-26T06:01:00

Cool little game, delay on words appearing was quite long but the background sound made up for it! Nice entry

Saphenous by AortaStudios 2014-08-26T05:09:00

@TheGamingProject can I ask where the crashes were? :) Would love to iron those out, and yes we agree with the movement. We have been trying to think of a way we can do it for touch as well as hardware input :(

Saphenous by AortaStudios 2014-08-26T07:04:00

Hey Rahazan, thank for the feedback and screenshot. We are currently talking about continuing developing it so hopefully the navigation and other visual problems will be of our upmost priority. We had a LOT of fun doing the jam and if the majority of the feedback we receive is positive we can hopefully produce something really cool :D

Saphenous by AortaStudios 2014-08-26T17:59:00

Thanks guys :)
@mrexcessive, I will look into that and see what's going on

Super Alien Bro by nerd burglars 2014-08-28T09:43:00

Haha, I loved the trippy dancey pick up! Although I kept getting confused and dying when the reverse control pick up went back to normal, cool sub though! Good job and nice use of Kenney's assets! They always make a game look pretty :D

Link by hundredhundred 2014-08-26T04:31:00

I only managed to get 22 as my highscore :( oddly enough it bought back nostalgic feelings for snake on the nokia 3310! Nice submission, good job!

Ride to the Moon by CrefossusJam 2014-08-28T09:53:00

Much easier with the arrow keys! Nice sub :) keep it up

Quoduonda by Killswitch 2014-08-26T06:13:00

Sorry dude, had to mute the sound it hurt me! The game was pretty innovative though, interesting use of gameplay to switch around the different rooms. Nice job

Connected Worlds by Dry Tree 2014-08-28T08:43:00

That was really cool! I have to say I thoroughly I enjoyed flying around space and not knowing whether I was the right way up half the time! I did however neglect a lot of the trading :( Good job though!
