LD30 — Connected Worlds

Train Connect! by joonamo 2014-08-26T14:27:00

Nice feel to the game, simple controls. I enjoyed this.

Split//Maze by sol_hsa 2014-08-25T16:46:00

I really like the execution of this. Level progression seems a little slow at first, but very quickly picks up.

Blue Screen by varun 2014-08-25T12:42:00

I like the concept, but would like to have seen more interaction between the two worlds. Looks great!

GET Connected by sephyka 2014-08-28T13:38:00

I really liked the way you have to follow all the stories to get information that you are looking for.

Sinister by Joe Williamson 2014-08-28T13:33:00

Running very laggy, but the experience is well crafted. I will impressed right from teh beginning.

Any Moment by Jakub Koziol 2014-08-28T14:21:00

I really liked the approach to the topic, and the theme. Thank you for opening yourself up, and creating something real that makes people think.

Interstellar, Inc. by JavadocMD 2014-08-27T15:07:00

Takes a few minutes to get the hang of what is going one. Once I did, I enjoyed the game even after I noticed the AI stop. :P Fun.

Connected Pylons by Pat AfterMoon 2014-08-25T04:44:00

I liked the idea, and found the game fun and entertaining.

Astral Crossroads by zdonkeyx 2014-08-26T19:43:00

Impressive! I enjoyed the puzzles.

Connected Words by Teesquared 2014-09-11T01:10:00

I liked that this game is no where close to how I interpreted the theme. Nice work on coming up with something original, and great use of the theme. This is deceptively difficult.

R-elink: A link between worlds by RaycoSantana 2014-08-25T13:38:00

Nicely done. I like the R-Elink device. Great interpretation of the theme!

The Bifrost Project by Luthwyhn 2014-08-27T14:55:00

Difficult to get the hang of at first. Then it starts to make sense.

NOODLE FEELING by Magdev 2014-08-28T14:02:00

Took a minute, then once I figured out what I was supposed to do it was pretty fun. Reminds me of Katamari

Under World by tiff 2014-08-25T05:13:00

I like the general idea. Jumping feels a little wonky, but manageable.

Connected We Run by Sandcrawler 2014-08-25T04:47:00

I like the interpretation of the concept, but did not find the appeal to this one.

Astral Experience by Beard 2014-08-25T04:55:00

Sorry about that. I forgot to add it. I'll update.

Astral Experience by Beard 2014-08-25T05:06:00

I have uploaded the source for my project.

TETHER by datacr4sh 2014-08-25T13:44:00

Great interpretation. I like the idea, and the game is fun too!

Kid Got Lost by PaperboxStudios 2014-08-28T16:43:00

I liked the art and overall feel of the game. Great concept!

LudumShudum by oogaboogacaveman 2014-08-25T05:27:00

I enjoyed it way more then I thought I was going to. I like the concept, and found it to offer game play that was unique enough to hold my attention.

Where's the Color? by tbam 2014-08-27T14:47:00

I really liked the overall experience. Nice control, very reactive.

Thinkings by Lythom 2014-08-27T15:16:00

Very cool concept.I like the art, music, and the overall nature of the puzzles.

LD35 — Shapeshift

Booba Loomba by josemwarrior 2016-04-22T12:22:00

I liked the concept of this game. The game started to progress and become quite difficult. My only suggestion is to not display a popup on the page in between each level.

Shape Up by F4KETHIS 2016-04-19T04:24:00

This was a fun game. I found my fingers feeling like they were tied in knots. I have a feeling all my kids are going to LOVE this one.

Escape CorpoLab by duskpn 2016-04-23T02:05:00

I liked the overall premise of the game. Nice that you have to use the ability of each transformation to make it through the level. Music was pretty cool too.

my fathers apartment by emmelineprufrock 2016-04-19T03:42:00

I was just getting ready to be told an awesome story. I love the style. Ended too soon.

Wrestling the RPG by Kate Kligman 2016-04-19T04:21:00

I like the text based aspect of your game. Nice story, and I like that the choices matter.

Shapeshifter Challenge by ethankennerly 2016-04-19T03:47:00

I like that this is not just like every other puzzle game. One level gives you the idea, then it starts to make you think a little. I enjoyed this one very much.

Shifters by Beard 2016-04-19T12:21:00

jcMonkey There are two files to download. One is source, the other is the compiled game. Just unzip and run it.

Shifters by Beard 2016-04-20T01:21:00

I adjusted the file links so it is more obvious what is source and what is game. Mekuri, Crimson713 I am being told, that the button to exit each room is being shifted off screen at some resolutions.
There is certainly room for improvement. Enemy balance, and UI are right at the top of that list.
Thank you everyone who took a minute to check it out.

Shifters by Beard 2016-04-23T01:57:00

Thank you Josemwarrior. I really didn't have very much time to spend on balancing. Working at this speed REALLY tests your programming and debugging skills for sure. I think I will attempt to expand this idea post compo. I was really hoping for some cool effects on the attacks and such to kind of modernize the text based game.

Potionshift by ekkiiiii 2016-04-19T12:42:00

I like a new take on a classic game style. The elements of changing what is happening in the jars based on what you match is really cool. I also like the "collection". Great work.

SPEEDSHIFTERS by pixelgriffin 2016-04-19T04:18:00

Gameplay reminded me of Super Meat Boy. The gameplay is extremely difficult, but fitting for the style. sound was top rate.

Life of George by rockybdubs 2016-04-19T03:51:00

I love the hand drawn art style of this. I would love to see this with animations.

Geometer's Folly by SpareWizard 2016-04-19T12:35:00

I like the unique mechanic for casting spells. This is an interesting twist. With a little polish this could be a really fun game expanded into a full RPG.

Exhuman by Arvydas 2016-04-19T04:06:00

Great graphics! I like the premise. Control needs a lot of refinement.

Soulshifter by toastedgames 2016-04-23T02:10:00

The overall game was quite fun. I really liked the constant action. Great work.

Shape Shift Racer by kivlor 2016-04-19T04:08:00

I like the idea you chose. The first couple runs I didn't get the whole shifting thing. Then I noticed the icon :p

Perspective Shift by meganukebmp 2016-04-19T12:47:00

I like the graphic style, and music. The gameplay started to get repetitive. Flying the dragon felt really nice.

EXTREME DUNGEON MEGA SHIFT RPG PINBALL DELUXE by Somelife 2016-04-19T12:50:00

I really like the simplistic graphical style you used here. Highly stylized. Sound effects were on point. This one had me laughing after a couple minutes, whenever I hit something.

Super Soul Sword by MandolinQuinn 2016-04-19T04:39:00

I wanted to feel really powerful when I transformed. It felt a little flat to me when I did it. The game felt good though.

Squarcle by bagface 2016-04-19T12:29:00

The mechanic was really cool. The control seems intentionally wonky, but I think that is part of what makes it fun. Might be cool to have some race the clock kind of levels later to increase difficulty.
