LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Evilator by Dyn 2015-12-16T02:05:00

I thought I was doing good by killing the people in the lift all the time :P

Toy Factory by Xeke_Death 2015-12-16T02:40:00

Took me a few broken robots found it easier with keyboard was quite fun

Wild Safari Mowing by AsixJin 2015-12-16T02:11:00

The steering made me think of the warthogs in halo :)

Button Simulator 2000 by wilsk 2015-12-14T01:49:00

all made sense in fullscreen well all made sense maybe not but flicky things on and zippy sounds, too bad I let the plants die. Would let plants die again I say would think it would be inevitable that they'd die on me :( and now I feel sad

Pop by mcmahoniel 2015-12-16T02:15:00

I now have a complex with falling objects popping my balloons.

No Birds In This Game by Grahhhhh 2015-12-16T02:09:00

At first I wasn't sure if I was going through a help screen then it all fell into place I loved the little platforms the ant didn't

SpaceGrown -- Grow your own space station! (TM) by bushmango 2015-12-16T02:13:00

Quite enjoyable some reason it made me think of triple town not sure why when I think about it.

SPACE DILEMMA by argowen 2015-12-17T12:44:00

I am looking to make an updated version; I will be adding a few extra features stemming the difficulty "slightly" and only slightly don't want to make it too easy. as for the wrapping of the background this was akin to the old asteroids game how ever my latest idea is to have the player warp to the opposite side and instead of just getting destroyed I'd have the player ship telefrag objects within a certain range obviously all nicely animated etc.

404 from dropbox

Are you grown? by Rfdshir 2015-12-14T13:41:00

regardless of whether I wanted to go to war I went to war and died. Would die again.

Sentient Sewage by blakeohare 2015-12-15T14:55:00

little confusing at first as I didn't read the instructions, still one easy mode without it. Anyway read instruction which was funny. Overall I found the concept and play quite fun.

Chompatron Saves The World by Tim Ruswick 2015-12-16T01:40:00

My only thought was I got the impression I'd be able to move up the road however I can see that being an issue with only two button. Overall was fun like robot-wars but against people LOL

Testing Lab xy by kerneltt 2015-12-16T01:42:00

That turret is fast just about got through first level lol

LD35 — Shapeshift

Colour Out Of Space by snowyowl 2016-04-29T22:53:00

Little bit of polish, smooth out the animation add some audio and I think you've got you self a nice little game,

Size Matters by Benn 2016-04-29T22:41:00

learning curve is pretty good until think it was the 5th level with all the scrolling blocks. Still really awesome I loved the vertical moving with the the changing width to hold the position. Like a wierd love child of tetris and ninja warrior.

The monster and the mouse by albinobat 2016-04-26T09:51:00

Mouse killed by everything, then randomly mouse managed to kill the snake and subsequently killed by a duck. It's like Dark Souls of nature.

That Blue Square by argowen 2016-04-29T15:34:00

Thanks for the kind words guys, its wierd because even after this time has passed since LD35 I've actually become to like the idea of the game I made and I'm already dabbling in some major changes to how the blocks work and extra "mutations" that the blocks can have for example a triangle that jumps higher than square but moves slower. I'm also looking at either rewriting in unity or unreal as I', liking the idea of the crisper sharper vectors than rasters. As for the music I tried to have a dabble for ambience etc but I couldn't sit with a specific style maybe I'll have to dabble a bit more and just play stuff while I test the game and see what fits the best. SFX for sprites etc will be in that version my microphones were playing up so couldn't get clear recordings. Those that saw my LD34 entry may remember that I voiced the spacecraft guns and engines myself and I was looking to do the same with this one.

SHIFTROMINO by blubberquark 2016-04-29T22:44:00

Little slow, could do with moving a touch faster I like the idea that you can only change shape if you get the pickup. I think it a game for 2 hands on the keyboards though rather than M&K, still I enjoyed it.

Shape Surfer by haveric 2016-04-26T09:56:00

Awesome, smoothen the slide between lane and have some cool tunes in the background and I think you'll be on to a winner this was really fun.

Pound Ninja by Mossi 2016-04-26T09:16:00

Got past the guy on the second level but couldn't progress

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Light Shaft by 0uicmoi 2018-04-27T19:22:47Z

Loved it, and on second level and unlocked the super secret wherein if you select a block but don't click to place it the collision is recognised so you can magic carpet up which I thought was awesome, probably not intended and I'm not regarding it as a bug just a super secret easter egg :)

Dungeon Solitaire by Scrumplesplunge 2018-04-27T19:43:16Z

Superb, has a very nice stygian abyss feel to it.

Remote Cuddles by Kobrar 2018-05-02T23:16:59Z

Pre-playing post: I just saw your main page post "UGH THIS THEME" as soon as I saw that third day image I burst into laughter and knew I had to have a play.

Numbness by Velocity7 2018-05-03T19:30:25Z

Really enjoyed, was so close to just killing the princess instead but alas I opted to save her lol. Would appreciate a review of mine also. I just need 2 more to get over the 20 threshold: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/snakes-and-ladders-a-texted-based-adventure-game

Car(d) Race by Fenderbate 2018-04-27T19:27:12Z

Ironically a winning combo, I definitely had fun then ran out of cards and started to panic which I found even more funny when I drove into the back of a purple car.

Snakes and Ladders: A Texted Based Adventure Game by argowen 2018-04-20T22:09:38Z

Long time since i been here but am in.

Snakes and Ladders: A Texted Based Adventure Game by argowen 2018-05-02T23:14:17Z

Thanks guys for the feedback; I really wasn't too sure about this one and as I stated I really started to not like it while I was finishing up I guess more so than my last LD entry I'd guess due in part to the theme being a tough one this time around. I know for a fact that the code in this is really bad too as I was trying to rush to get it working and complete before the submission time for jam. I might actually go back and re-write the entire thing a lot more cleanly and add a few extra random features, I did like the idea of adding some sound into it potentially voice work for the room descriptions and/or dice roll sounds for well you guessed it the dice rolling. I like the idea of making it a bit more Dungeon's and Dragons-esque also but I guess we'll see what happens as so far of all the entries that I have submitted over the past few years I've not actually gone back to a single one of them LOL.
