LD25 — You are the Villain

The Secret Plan by kevincorrigan 2012-12-19T01:25:00

Corrupt file :(

The Accursed Moon by barkergames 2012-12-21T00:15:00

Sorry about that, it's been updated using the "reach" profile.

Necrominously Evil by Azlen 2012-12-18T01:03:00

Great Innovation!

Unsave the Princess by karlin 2012-12-18T00:38:00

I must say, this is the best one I have played so far!
Awesome Job!

Mr. Bowtie Versus JZ by derdragon 2012-12-18T00:57:00

Wow, very fun, though the employee got stuck in the ceiling for some reason.

Awesome job!

LD26 — Minimalism

Guru by BrothersT 2013-05-04T18:38:00

I kept getting a white screen then the game would crash!

DownGrade by barkergames 2013-05-03T01:45:00

Thanks for all the constructive criticism everyone.

Sadly we didn't get enough time to play test as much as we would have liked :(

I agree that the levels and a bit of the game play need some work.
Music needs to be added as well.

Potato Dungeon by _Rilem 2013-05-08T01:40:00

I love how each level teaches you how to use a different feature.

Balls! by Codexus 2013-05-12T19:20:00

Graphics are awesome! I got frustrated on the level with the platform that moves up and down, the ball kept on getting stuck(disappear) into the ramp. Had to keep restarting because of it, until it annoyed me enough it wasn't fun anymore.

Besides that bug it was the best 3D Ludum Game I've played so far, by a long shot!

Milton by ZYXer 2013-05-08T02:12:00

Love the level design!
Really neat concept, great job!

Through the Woods by CosmicCatStudio 2013-05-12T19:28:00

When I got to the house nothing happened! I walked off the screen on the right and then disappeared. I could move left and right but couldn't see myself, or get hit by wolves.

Scout by Trench 2013-05-11T02:10:00

I really enjoyed the artwork! Great job!

Potato The Destroyer by Cory Martin 2013-05-08T02:05:00

The controls were very hard to get used to, I suggest making up jump. It would make it feel more natural.

T.O.M.B. by Knighty 2013-05-08T03:10:00

I like the idea, it's a little too hard though. I ended up getting frustrated and quitting.

Little Planet of Doom by 2A1S 2013-05-05T18:17:00

The teleporting was confusing.

LD28 — You Only Get One

Shine by AdventureIslands 2013-12-21T01:01:00

I love it!

A Snowball's Chance In Space by barkergames 2013-12-17T01:56:00

Yes, sadly I wasn't able to make it as long as I wanted to :(

A Snowball's Chance In Space by barkergames 2013-12-20T14:30:00

For those of you who try to run it but it just doesn't start:
You probably don't have the XNA 4.0 Framework installed.
Link is above description.

If that doesn't work let me know.

Thanks for playing my game everyone :)

You Only Have One Pair of Underwear! by @TeddyNashor 2013-12-17T00:44:00

Lol, it must be an all girl school? Since there are about 100 women restrooms per 1 mens restroom. I think I also saw some drinking fountains on lockers and doors :)

YOGO swat member by severus 2013-12-17T00:12:00

I loved the shadows! It gives the game a "fear" effect. Not knowing where the enemy is. Loved it.
It could have used instructions in game. (since I forgot to read the description till now :)

A Precious Arrow by Benjamin 2013-12-17T00:00:00

I love it, but it's too hard. I got frustrated and quit. Awesome work!

Only Takes One by gmfk07 2013-12-17T00:23:00

The music got annoying really fast.
It would have been nice to have a hot-key to buy ammo, it was difficult to shoot, then move your mouse to the bottom right of the screen, then aim again and shoot.

System Control by conormn 2013-12-17T00:03:00

I love the graphics, great job!
Are you supposed to just be able to mash the keyboard like crazy? Didn't provide much difficulty(except tiring my fingers :)

BOIDCAK by Magdev 2013-12-20T00:34:00

At first it took me a while to understand what was going on. But as soon as I did, it became addicting. I just HAD to win!

It was hard to hit the bad guys sometimes though.

Otherwise Awesome entry!

Jump Chip by arkeus 2013-12-21T00:56:00

Wow I can't believe this was made in 48 hours. Great job.

Princess Kingdom by ncannasse 2013-12-21T00:32:00

Very addicting!

The talking got annoying though.

Great job!

Pollinate by Miltage 2013-12-21T00:50:00

Simple yet addicting. Music was awesome!

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

SubmaRuins by pirate-rob 2014-04-29T13:51:00

It takes a bit to understand how to play but once you do, it's very addicting! This is the only game so far that I have played that held my attention for longer than 10 mins. Then all of a sudden it was 2 hours later.

Great job, I would love to play a post compo version!

It was highly lacking in giving the user info, I didn't understand what the pumps were until my last 5 mins of playing. You should put names on the items that you can build so we know what they are/do.

I loved how you could take over other ships by boarding them.

Only problem I could see was when you took over a large ship then your build menu covered part of the ship, so you couldn't modify the top :(

I'm amazed at how much you got done in 48 hours!

Great job, by far my favorite so far :)

Giant worm infestation by asteryz 2014-04-29T01:36:00

I started in a room with no way out :(

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Pixplorer by Nega Drive 2014-12-13T02:52:00

I love the take on the theme!

Screen Ego Aegis by LegacyCrono 2014-12-13T03:27:00

Link broken :(

Maze Runner by swabbur 2014-12-12T04:11:00

I agree, looks nice but a little boring.

Inventory by TheMeorch 2014-12-10T04:14:00

I love this one! Nice use of the theme!

Overworlord by max_peabody 2014-12-13T04:16:00

This is a cool idea! But I did find it hard to loose, even when I tried to lose.

Desert Strike by Parker808 2014-12-12T03:57:00

When it asked me if I wanted to play the tutorial the yes and no buttons didn't do anything! So it couldn't play :(

Shifting Dungeon by codeapparat 2014-12-12T03:53:00

Wow, one of my favorites so far! I love what you did with the theme!

Life of a Geek by Tommyno222 2014-12-13T00:22:00

Nice job.
Love the art and sounds.
I did have a hard time reading the geek void bubbles. Too fast!

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Alien Headbang by Ted Brown 2015-04-20T05:29:00

Nice entry!
It was really hard to squish the aliens sometimes, mostly when they got closer to you. Because of that I got frustrated and quit.

Ice Story ( koori monogatari 氷物語 ) by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2015-04-23T23:10:00

I found the controls extremely confusing at first, but once I understood them the game got fun!
It also feels like an old nes game.
Nice work!

Shoot'N'Loot by xk 2015-04-20T02:30:00

Nice work, love the art!

Natures Revenge by barkergames 2015-04-20T05:17:00

Actually it does stop, well unless there is a bug I am not aware of.

Natures Revenge by barkergames 2015-04-20T05:32:00

I am already working on a post-compo version with additional levels and plants.
Hopefully I will have some time tomorrow to get a harder version out for you all!

Rocket Rabbit by jcmoyer 2015-04-20T05:06:00

Very addicting, nice work.
I did find it annoying having the hit box so different from the ship graphic.
Music went along with it very well!

Vac n Smash by SteveSalmond 2015-05-02T03:01:00

Wow, I love the game mechanic.
Great job!

Vikea by AtomicVikings 2015-04-23T00:44:00

Music was awesome, I did have a hard time playing because something seemed to "take control" of my character, which was very frustrating.

Fathom by Joe Williamson 2015-04-23T23:25:00

I love the game mechanic. It's very polished, one of the only games that feels "Complete", short but Complete.

More levels please!

Genemon by Pietro Ferrantelli 2015-04-23T22:57:00

Awesome game!
One time I started I tried to create a guy and it failed, but then all the enemies guys were going backwards.
It fixed itself as soon as I successfully created a guy.

Hippie Run by winmac32 2015-04-28T02:50:00

For a while, after running over a few hippies, there was nothing, I just wandered around looking for hippies.
It also got a little repetitive.

Oddest Jobs by hunttis 2015-04-28T02:56:00

Throwing that hat is just so satisfying!
I love it!
When I got to the level where you "Find Documents" they just fell off the screen, and then none of the graphics matched the physics, sadly I couldn't proceed :(
I love the hat throwing mechanic though!

Wizard Rescue by Zayron 2015-04-28T02:31:00

The sound effects were too loud compared to the background music!

Dario DDS by bentglasstube 2015-04-20T05:49:00

Very much like Dr Mario, interesting twist.

Frisbee Fetus Bombs by jacketsj 2015-04-28T02:43:00

Very weird, btw when it was full screen it cut off the right and bottom, which made it confusing.

Insomnia by java the hutt 2015-04-28T02:14:00

Game never loaded :(
I got the Unity load screen but the progress bar never moved.

Mugslinger by IDidGame 2015-04-20T05:55:00

Had fun with this one, I had no idea that the mug would go over the enemies, lost my streak because of it :(
Great job!

ROBOTO by gabrielbasea 2015-04-28T02:25:00

I couldn't figure out how to kill the robot. He just kept smashing me.

I also liked how you introduced the dial tone into the robots scream.

Shepherd by ShIxtan 2015-04-20T05:16:00

Great mood, loved the music.
Game play got boring after a short while.

Aliens! I need your D.N.A. by DNAteamld32 2015-05-02T03:22:00

Nice job!

ScarKrow by Carduus 2015-04-23T00:38:00

Nice work, it was a bit confusing. All I did was "attack" from one guy to the next until I got to the crystal. Were you supposed to "Kill" the enemies or just use them at "teleport" locations?

Dino & Satyr on a log by snarf 2015-04-20T05:08:00

Couldn't play: Got error: "Failed to initialize player's 3D settings"

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Empyreal Roving by barkergames 2015-12-17T15:12:00

GeeItSomeLaldy: I definitely see why you would think that. It is super hard. But no it IS possible.

My tip to anyone having a hard time beating it would be:
Spin your ship all the was around until it's pointing left, then you can move left, slow down, etc.

I hope to get a game play video of my brother Nathan playing it, proving that it is possible. He is super good at it, way better than me(Justin)
Just yesterday he beat it only using the Up Arrow button, freaking crazy!

Floppy Frog by walaber 2015-12-26T19:21:00

Very interesting idea, but I really didn't know how to control it. The only reason that I beat the levels I did was because I randomly pressed buttons and got lucky.

SUPER SCIENCE CORP by Hot Box Games 2015-12-30T01:14:00

Sadly I got stuck on the Weapons level, the door would open then close immediately, way too fast for me to get through.

Loved it, up to that point anyways.

Not Enough Space by batmanasb 2015-12-17T04:23:00

Windows version didn't work for me. the 64 bit version never opened and the 32 bit opened just to crash and close at the splash screen.

Not Enough Space by batmanasb 2015-12-17T04:35:00

I loved the physics and how the ship breaks apart. Great job!

Push First [The Legend of the Farmer] by PushFirst 2015-12-31T21:00:00

My daughter loved playing this game with me.
It is highly confusing(unless you actually read the instructions lol)

Great job!

LD35 — Shapeshift

Amyounition by HacksawUnit 2016-04-26T23:15:00

Nice use of the theme I suggested "You are your own Bullet" great work!

LD36 — Ancient Technology

The Mighty Quest for the Ultimate Sword Over 9000 in the Chronicle of Time by Desperados Studio 2016-09-09T01:39:00

Didn't like the key bindings at all.

Would have been much better if you went with one of the standards like Arrow Keys or WASD!
ZQSD made it too hard to play.

Grow by genluck 2016-09-17T16:52:00

It was a bit confusing at first. I didn't know what to do. I think the biggest issue was I lost but I didn't know that I lost, so I was trying to figure out how to play after I had already died.
Once I restarted I figured out that the spiders shoot webs and you have to aim.
I suggest at least adding a description on how to play the game would have been good.
And a "Game Over" screen and/or text would have done wonders.
Once I figured it out it was pretty fun.
The difficulty wasn't too bad until about 10 minutes in then it just got insane, there was no way to defeat the horde of Insects.

Overall I loved it!
Great job!

Temple of the Sky People by MiniBobbo 2016-09-16T03:25:00

I like the graphics, animation and how you built the tutorial.
I hope you do a post compo version, I would love to play it for longer.

Place of Power by flazm 2016-09-09T02:35:00

Wow, pleasantly surprised.
I started playing and got sucked in. Time just disappeared.
I love how simple the game looks on the outside, yet it's much more complicated once you get started.
I love the art it's great!
Music was good.
I think this is my favorite so far!
Great job!

Aquadrata by Four Quarters 2016-09-17T20:18:00

Simple, Beautiful, Unique.
I did get annoyed of the laggy music, it kept on getting worse and worse until I finally muted it.
Great work!

Ancient Invaders by Insality 2016-09-09T01:31:00

Definitely one of the nicest looking and feeling games.
I didn't find it that challenging sadly.
Nice work!

Tech-Alchemist by lmgginspace 2016-09-17T20:07:00

I really liked this one, really hard to get them all. I got stuck :)
One of my favorites though!

Gizmo of Giza by diest 2016-09-09T02:49:00

I love zelda style games!

I liked the mechanics, smashing mummies was fun.
It would have felt way better with sound effects.
Nice work!

<GAME NAME> by Patacorow 2016-09-09T01:45:00

Sadly this game isn't finished, but I really love this art style.
Nice work!
I look forward to a post compo version!

Colossorama 36 by JorgeGameDev 2016-09-09T02:43:00

Fun little game, nice pixel art, and music.

Found it strange that guys would jump on your weapon and stand there, hehe.

Nice work!

LD37 — One room

13 jellyfish by Four Quarters 2016-12-28T00:09:00

Wow, best one I've played so far! I love the pixel art and the animations!

Unfinished Shaman Game Demo by alexmakovsky 2016-12-15T02:26:00

Beautiful artwork!
You should keep working on it!
It's a great start!

The Room of Traps by Beyondgood 2016-12-21T00:40:00

Nice pixel art, I found the sounds startling. It's silent then all of a sudden BOOM! loud noise. Also may need a tutorial, a little hard to use at first.

SpaceBeaver by OWC 2016-12-20T00:49:00

Honestly I felt a little bored. I think it was because it wasn't that difficult. If it was a bit harder it would have been much more interesting, for me at least.
Great work!

Mechaxolotl Rampage by TeamAxolotl 2016-12-20T01:10:00

Wow, I really liked this one. Very simple, yet fun!
The music really played into the mood, I love it.
Great job!

Room 007 by Lancelot Gao 2016-12-28T02:25:00

Simple, yet fun.

Fancy Goldfish by A-Flat Miner Studios 2016-12-15T02:20:00

I love the artwork on this game!
Very Beautiful!
The controls were a bit strange, had a hard time controlling the fish.

The Two of Us by Pixeye 2016-12-15T02:06:00

Beautiful game, not much game play to it though.
The Zombies just stood outside in a row and never moved, I assume that's a bug?

Alien Kitchen Turbo by stoz 2016-12-15T01:50:00

Fun little game.
I had an issue where I couldn't get rid of any tables or chefs, so eventually I filled the entire room. I then tried to buy more chefs and the game is stuck. I have closed it and the music is still playing, lol. Time to kill it with task manager. :)

Great job!

What happened to Michael? by BubsyPoochies 2016-12-20T00:41:00

I like the pixel art. I found that you can't skip the repeating dialog a little annoying. It's actually what killed it for me.

Ludum Dare: The Game by DDRKirby(ISQ) 2016-12-28T00:20:00

I love the idea behind this game. I never thought a game about making games would be this fun.

LD42 — Running out of space

Hoarding Hank by BarkerGames 2018-08-10T15:32:05Z

I'm in. I wont have the full 48 hours, but I should have a good chunk of time to finish something. Good luck everyone.

Hoarding Hank by BarkerGames 2018-08-11T14:44:58Z

First days progress: 2018-08-11_08-42-39.gif

I hope I have time to finish. I will have to cut a few features for sure :(

Pusher by notime4games 2018-08-25T16:54:35Z

This game made me think more than a lot of the other games, but it did get impossible eventually, my only hope was to wait and see if a certain tile would drop or else I couldn't win. But then I ran out of patience. Great job though!

Blossom by deepnight 2018-08-14T22:45:03Z

Nice job for only 9 hours of work!

EVOLUTION by Noa Calice 2018-08-25T17:06:29Z

Honestly, wow, this is amazing. I love how the planet get sadder and sadder the more buildings you build. The art is awesome, the sound effects were great. My only complain would be the music that plays at first can get a little annoying. But otherwise, this was an awesome entry. Thanks so much for making it!

Spaceman Kevin by Chupachu 2018-08-15T00:34:42Z

I love how you can go all the way around the planet. Really cool!

The legend of the looter and the incredible backpack that never runs out of spac by agar3s 2018-08-22T01:05:15Z

I love the pixel art, nice work!

Waste in Space by ProWolf 2018-08-25T16:42:08Z

Simple yet fun. Great job!

No Space In My Stomach by Roman Petrov 2018-08-14T22:51:10Z

I love the artwork! Great job!

Airlock Gridlock by HYPRGLOO 2018-08-14T23:15:09Z

I really liked this one, I just wish there were more levels. Hint, Hint... :)

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Garry's Sacrifice by Mordokay 2018-12-13T02:41:29Z

Fun little game, I was very confused until I found out you pickup and drag animals with right mouse. Then it was much easier. Towards the end I did drop some cooked plates down, and they were eaten, but didn't disapear like the others did, which was confusing.

Great job, one of the few games that actually held my attention to the end, nice work!

The Orion Trail by Archimagus 2018-12-13T04:16:02Z

Some of the options got repetitive, could have used more variety. One of the more polished games I have played. Good job!

Organic Harvest by shujal 2018-12-13T02:56:07Z

That is a lot of different systems to build over one weekend. Great job. I love how well it plays into the Theme, you have to sacrifice some people to save others. Nice work!

Martyr by 314owen 2018-12-13T02:17:55Z

It was really hard to remember what character did what at first. I would suggest adding something, like in the top right of the screen, for what the current character can do. I failed over and over and over until I finally memorized which characters did what. Then it got a little easier.

I like it, great job!

LD45 — Start with nothing

A Brand New World by RealityCheck 2019-10-18T00:05:31Z

Interesting little game, it did start to get a little boring towards the end, but I blame the simulation time. If that was faster I would have liked it better. I'm also happy that the music didn't get annoying. Nice work!

Flubby Farm by yazara 2019-10-13T19:09:16Z

Nice job, I really liked how the Flubbies start out with no abilities and you had to upgrade them with cards. It took me a second to realize that you can upgrade a group of them based on the circle. Cool idea. Awesome entry!

Pipka by asfdfdfd 2019-10-13T19:16:02Z

Interesting little game, I was confused about the bananas dropping, I think they were supposed to hurt you, but even when I tried, the character would hit them and stop. The art style was cool. Good job!

The Hobo’s Guide to the Galaxy by KonH 2019-10-18T00:54:14Z

I really loved the graphics on this one. I did find it hard when you were on the edge of the screen, it was really hard to aim then. Nice work!

The Idea Explorer by Sebastian-M 2019-10-18T01:12:09Z

Nice work. I love the cool effect you are using.

Bob the Brawler by itsdanidre 2019-10-18T00:14:30Z

I like the graphics, but would have preferred a goal :) Nice work.

No Stone Uncrumbled by Jonasz999 2019-10-18T01:27:31Z

I honestly didn't think I would have any fun with a "Math" game. But I did! It was loads of fun. I love how the stones drop in value as you push them, adding an extra bit to the game. Great job!

Naked Guy by kaeveris 2019-10-18T01:00:14Z

Lol, I thought the end was really funny. :) I noticed you could jump up walls, was that intended? Also I was seen, and then kept playing in "Slow Mo" and could beat the level. Nice work!

The path of Fireflies by Omickron 2019-10-13T19:25:40Z

I really loved the art and the music. The music made the mood really good. Awesome job!

Survival Shore by radgegames 2019-10-18T00:43:58Z

I liked the crafting mechanics. Since it's in Unity I highly suggest you make an HTML5 version and throw it up somewhere. You will get a lot more plays if you do. Good work.

Who cares if it's buggy, just ship it! by ItsNotAGoodTime 2019-10-18T23:29:35Z

Love the artwork!
