LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Snake++ by Gnarly Narwhal 2017-12-05T22:37:00Z

This was the game I was waiting to play, it's challenging and it makes you want to keep playing, just to beat that next level. And that is only helped by the shaders and music.

Endless Game by gmaker 2018-08-14T21:43:06Z

java, nice

Very Original Puzzle Game by Devastus 2018-08-14T21:14:44Z

short but sweet

Borderblast by C0nst4ntin 2018-08-15T05:57:53Z

cool platformer, just wish it coulda been more challenging and with more levels

The Espacito by Wendel Scardua 2018-08-15T04:20:28Z

the orbiting asteroid gave me a big spook

A Bunny's Tale by undefinist 2018-08-13T04:37:05Z

200 carrots for a single jump!? is this what capitalism has come to??

Fast Grow by Minord 2018-08-15T04:04:52Z

yeah, the game doesn't actually work ):

Fast Grow by Minord 2018-08-15T05:26:54Z

@minord yeet, works

Crushy by Balduvian Dead 2018-08-13T04:50:15Z

@mertios You can run it if you're on windows and have Java installed

The Last Wall by C1FR1 2018-08-13T03:58:33Z

Hopefully this really is, the *last* wall

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Save the Yel's! by LeReveur 2018-12-08T05:15:09Z

I felt overwhelmed by the amount of control options, but overall there's a lot of features packed into this one! I appreciate the terrain and physics

Effigies by Geckoo1337 2018-12-06T21:44:09Z

I had a lot of fun beating this game! The puzzles were really challenging Though the win detection felt a bit off, seemed like I had to give the game a little time to catch up

Planet 43 by MyFriendTames 2018-12-08T05:22:08Z

Kudos for using c++

Saving Oskar by markusfisch 2018-12-07T19:46:28Z

I like how sketchy the gameplay is, you take it any way you want

Abraham's Sacrificial Rampage by Gnarly Narwhal 2018-12-03T23:08:55Z

I had a lot of fun playing this, trying to get a new high score. I mean technically has a lot replay-ability being an infinite game...

Melon Squad by Balduvian Dead 2018-12-10T00:06:54Z

@geckoo1337 The download should be a .zip file. Once it's downloaded right click it and select the "Extract All" option and it will put the contents into a folder. Inside that folder all you have to do it double click on the .jar file. JARs are executable files, just like EXEs, but just for java. It won't run if you don't have java installed, which you can download here https://www.java.com/en/download/ . I Hope this helped

Flaming Resistance by C1FR1 2018-12-06T18:57:05Z

The changing Audio might actually be one of my favorite parts of the game

The Trolley Problem by Ludovico 2018-12-03T21:44:37Z

Great puzzle game that is actually challenging and fun to play! Also nice ending.

The Lost Company by Whismirk 2018-12-08T19:28:21Z

Save the Kittens! by Drunk Wizard 2018-12-06T18:55:24Z

I feel like this is a very good implementation of the theme! good job

LD44 — Your life is currency

Candyman by MCRewind 2019-04-30T21:25:28Z

oi mate why u gotta give it up

hopefully the experience was good

Pinball by Gnarly Narwhal 2019-04-30T21:16:58Z

If you delete OpenAL32.dll and install openal yourself, the game will run

but darnnnnnnnnnnn, i wish there were more levels

Killing Time by Ludovico 2019-04-30T21:46:10Z

unity: CRASH

LD49 — Unstable

Instability by R3L0ad1 2021-10-04T05:12:35Z

I really appreciate harder games where you have to grind a little to get good. My good runs were far and few between, but hitting one just felt that much better.

My high score was 118.73

Sometimes it felt like it generated platforms which were just outside of jump range, and sometimes the ropes tangled in a way where the second one was inaccessible. Could just be me being bad tho.

Anyway I can tell there was a lot of care and effort put into this game.

Chaos Cube by Balduvian Dead 2021-10-04T19:24:35Z

@frogman Yeah I had a friend playtest and eventually they got to a point where they could keep going as long as they wanted. The game progresses in difficulty until a point which it stays at. If I were to work on this game further, I would add more blocks with different mechanics, perhaps break it up into discrete levels.

@comfy Though this isn't my first 3D game, it's my most in-depth. I didn't have 3D set up in opengl before this, so the beginning of the compo was getting that working. A lot of things are hacks, like the normal lighting is baked in and wouldn't work if the blocks got rotated.

Fuse by C1FR1 2021-10-04T19:33:10Z

Hey c1fr1, nice game this time

The fire shader is definitely the main visual attraction, carries the game by itself. I like that the game is difficult enough that you have to try and fail a few times before you really get it.

It certainly produces *unique* gameplay, but that just adds to the charm

Orbitris by BOOtak 2021-10-07T02:08:02Z

This is one of the truly unique concepts I've come across. Any time is a good time for a tetris spinoff. I really appreciate the small size executable.

My only complaint isn't really for the game itself. The window is just really tiny and can't be resized.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Virulent by Gnarly Narwhal 2018-04-24T19:03:03Z

This game seemed like it was going in a good direction, but just didn't go all the way. I'm assuming this is just due to lack of time.

My main criticism is that navigating through the console to get to the first level is really cryptic and it's hard to know what to do... Or maybe i'm just stupid.

The actual level is challenging, which was fun, but the way the player controls feels a bit off and a lot of the challenge came from bad acceleration.

Starbreak by Balduvian Dead 2018-04-26T19:52:28Z

@Bodaciouslycrazy

Lol i left in a debug feature with the W key, sorry.

I used java with Eclipse as my IDE and LWJGL (Opengl binding for java)

other tools: Photoshop, Ableton Live

The Merging by C1FR1 2018-04-24T19:57:41Z

well i went through and changed all the shaders so they work on windows lol

BallRunner by Sode 2018-04-25T05:05:20Z

This was... an experience to be had

Cosmic Cadence by Bodaciouslycrazy 2018-04-26T20:18:42Z

Yeet! This is probably the best game I've played this LD. I actually felt myself learning to get with the beat and memorizing the laser keys.

Rasteroids by treybc 2018-04-25T05:24:21Z

After the boss it seems like the levels just repeat, other than that the rader edge hitting the player looked cool! The game felt a bit slow though, with the really slow bullets and radar taking a while to come around
