LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Gravity by Pinpickle 2015-04-24T05:29:00

Great atmosphere with the graphics and the sound effects.
I don't think tutorials are necessary, just matching colors on the shapes and an outline around the player to show the range of the cursor.

PALBOT by Hot Box Games 2015-04-24T06:21:00

How you did this in less than 72 hours is beyond me. Excellent idea and execution. I think it was unnecessary to cover all wizards in the tutorial and it would help to have a better sprite of dead enemies, like the friend above said. Great game!

Slug Fest by jmborden 2015-04-30T20:31:00

Great take on the theme.
I also agree that the salt-pourer's hitbox flip should be improved and the difficulty curve is great. Feels good to win.

Crystalline by TheMeorch 2015-04-30T23:31:00

I just love what you made here, man. You carefully introduced each concept and the difficulty curve was spot-on. I enjoyed every level of it.

I think I love you.

HUGO THE LASERCAT KING by TyrusPeace 2015-04-30T20:12:00

I never thought I would love so much climbing a ladder of cats.
Sending a massive mob of them into an enemy was very satisfying, even though the cannons weren't very threatening. Enemies with faces would be nice, so we can see some expressions when they are being engulfed by cats.
The jump needs improvement and I also thought it was frustrating to see my cats stuck in the hole in the first level.
It would be brilliant if your mob could move you when you're standing on them.
Great game!

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Steve can't jump by ubgamerpro 2015-12-15T03:10:00

Good game man! The level design frustrated me a little but overall it's a good game. Keep it up.

LD36 — Ancient Technology

Bow Em' Down by bufferstudios 2016-08-31T02:55:00

The models are good and the arrow physics are sharp too. The reticle is not precise so i had to predict a little where the arrow would go. I could not jump the stairs with one jump and eventually discovered that i could fly jumping hahaha.

SOS Snake by Pyrofoux 2016-08-30T22:44:00

Excelent visuals, sound and level design. But is indeed too hard. Maybe if the snake was slower and the player had more friction when landing.

A Day With Mr Lmao by seveca95 2016-08-31T02:36:00

I loved the silly music and sfx. The design levels were a bit too hard and some times i died (which had an awesome sfx by the way) and could still progress picking up the key. Had a fun time congrats!

Antiquis Apparatus by Seizar 2016-08-31T02:46:00

Good idea with a solid implementation. The music is really good and fits well with the game. The crane/hook were too slow some times and frustates me a little. One time the second and third block were in place but they start moving, eventually falling. Great concept overall.

Orgog's Prison by Fib 2016-08-31T03:56:00

Good and fun game. I struggled a little with the movement controls. After i beat the third level i came back to the second and was a little confused, maybe a bug i don't know. Great game overall, congrats!

God's Gift by guoboism 2016-08-31T03:08:00

The drawings where the pyramids were are really good. I didn't understand the game very well. I move forward in time while discovering new things and ended up failing. Maybe a little more clear strategy in the resource management would be great.

Buy The Moon by NoTrueSpaceman 2016-08-31T02:57:00

Nice and chill game. Clicker games are not my type of game but i had fun buying a moon. Congrats and hope you had fun learning new things.

Irradiated Steam by Postcursor Laboratories 2016-08-31T03:15:00

I did not understand how do i pick up/drop cargo at the stations. Maybe more instructions would help. It is a good concept though.

Dont Get Eaten by Dinosaurs by Garrett Hoofman 2016-08-31T03:02:00

Awesome art, loved the caveman and the chickens. The gameplay is simple and fun. Congrats!

Left Behind by RockhopperGames 2016-08-31T03:20:00

I loved how the atmosphere is a little creepy, even though that's was not the objective. The camera filters is really well implemented too and the models were awesome. The sfx annoyed me a little and it was not clear to me what i had to do in the game. Since i am a drone i really wanted to fly hahaha.

Gemu Namae by Elit3dGaming 2016-08-30T22:53:00

Simple and effective. I like how some daggers spawn from the sides to prevent falling from one side and just using one key to block. Fun game.

Nomore by djfariel 2016-08-31T03:47:00

Really fun game! The graphics and music are awesome. The mechanics are great and the level design is really good too. Some SFX are too loud and I felt it was a little too dark, maybe making the light a little stronger would make the game more fun to me. Great game overall, congrats!

Into The Light by Bendev 2016-08-31T13:38:00

@nkorth: OSX version fixed!

Into The Light by Bendev 2016-08-31T23:15:00

@Robert, @HellBlazer, @Zeriver: Thanks for the feedback!
So, the special costs 30% of your total health. We thought that changing the colors of the player based on its current health would be sufficient to display that (we were wrong!). We will add this to the description.
And @HellBlazer, you are right, the special doesn't have cooldowns. We will update the description. Thanks!

Minotaur and the holy slingshot by AlexaCol 2016-08-31T03:37:00

The music fits really well in the game. The rooms and corridors were a little too small and the player moved a little too slow to. Good concept and implementation, congrats!

"Office Space" by nkorth 2016-08-31T02:29:00

Fun idea! The game is solid and polished. It could use some other features or maybe improve the research experience. The music fits really well with the game. Congrats!

Lost Artifacts by rynti 2016-08-31T03:30:00

Really fun and addictive game, had a great time playing. The art is awesome and the sound is very good too. Took me some time to notice the experience drops, maybe make them a little bigger would help. Very fun and polished game. Congrats!

Birdology by Peringo 2016-08-31T02:50:00

Nothing happens after the intro (where the huge thing in the sky got a laser in the head). I really wanted to play the art looks really good.

Matter of Survival by keln 2016-08-31T03:01:00

Nice concept. The instrument labels really should be ingame like everyone said. I think more combinations would make it more interesting. I would put the singing everytime!
