LD49 — Unstable

Unsustainable by SaraJS 2021-10-04T22:53:11Z

I got 14 survivors. Good Game!

You Can Not Start This Game by PartTimeIndie 2021-10-03T22:40:52Z

I really like the meta-ness of this game!

gone. by wafflecomposite 2021-10-03T23:28:36Z

I really like the ending!

Stay Unstable! by Loig 2021-10-05T18:43:18Z

I got a record of 661344! Good game!

UNTetris by JaviCoder 2021-10-04T02:21:49Z

I really liked the music and the graphics! Good game! It was a cool tetris remix!

Snake Using Windows by Benjamin Halko 2021-10-03T23:55:55Z

@jellybean it is actually a bit of both. The game forces you to have 9 rows and then uses your screen aspect ratio to figure out how many columns it needs.

Snake Using Windows by Benjamin Halko 2021-10-03T23:57:22Z

@arash-ghorban How does it crash?

Snake Using Windows by Benjamin Halko 2021-10-04T21:10:04Z

@parttimeindie Thanks for the heads up. I will try to see what I can do.

Snake Using Windows by Benjamin Halko 2021-10-06T04:27:52Z

@loyance Yeah, it is as simple as checking borderless window in the settings, getting a script that can run a program, and then using a text file to communicate "global" variables between the programs.

Snake Using Windows by Benjamin Halko 2021-10-07T22:25:49Z

@popertots Thanks for telling me! Maybe I will take "The Buggy Version" part off the Linux version then!

Snake Using Windows by Benjamin Halko 2021-10-09T20:24:17Z

@nardandas There is now a score screen!

Snake Using Windows by Benjamin Halko 2021-10-10T13:11:37Z

@jupiter-hadley Thanks so much for playing it!

Chop and Sprout by SethJMoore 2021-10-04T23:10:17Z

Cool Graphics!

Gotta Go by Stuntcomposer 2022-04-04T16:20:06Z

Nice Game! The death animation was hilarious!

Lag Tha Magma by wavertron 2022-04-04T18:02:55Z

I found the character animation humorous.

Soak 'Em Out by Cruise Elroy 2022-04-04T16:16:00Z

This is such a great game. I love how retro it is! Great Job!

This Button Will Self-destruct (dot) xyz by spthiel 2022-04-04T16:18:02Z

This fits the theme really well. It's nice that you added global leaderboards.

Jet-pack vs AI by MaximeG 2022-04-04T16:30:35Z

The game doesn't load for me. The name sounds cool though!

Mr.Filton Deluxe by DS Nahogara 2022-04-04T16:40:04Z

Wow! The AI was great and the animation was funny!

If you try hard enough, you can win. by Rxbbie 2022-04-06T17:28:52Z

I like the "mode" messages at the end of the game!

Battery Low by Milestone Games 2022-04-06T17:26:16Z

I love the art style on this game

Good Boy eats the treat. by RobbzenOne 2022-04-04T18:32:54Z

My score was: 58 seconds! Great Game!

Fire Up! by Pranav Sai Arra 2022-04-04T16:12:46Z

I enjoyed the game. I really liked the black hole in the middle, it fit the theme well. Music was also great!

You Are A Bomb by Benjamin Halko 2022-04-04T01:41:07Z

@greytyphoon Thanks so much!

You Are A Bomb by Benjamin Halko 2022-04-05T17:08:32Z

@waffleworksgames Woah! You beat my record!

@very-bad-bunny-studio @tranzit Nice job on the record!

@nash Thanks for noticing all the little details!

@cruise-elroy @jesus-gonzalez I plan on adding more / making an android of the game since so many people asked.

@bluishgreenpro @jcmonkey The terrain was made hard to traverse so that it was not possible for you to grab all the bombs.

@nardandas @drentsoft @dannyk1994 @marcmagus @caudatecoder @alexthehuman2 @jitspoe @kaminos @wassim Thanks for playing it on stream!

@macabreartgames I updated the game to have volume control, you can use 1 and 2 to change the volume. Thanks for the feedback!

@euler-moises I hope your game group finds it useful!

You Are A Bomb by Benjamin Halko 2022-04-08T01:12:35Z

@kepsert It is indeed randomly generated, along with the background! Thanks for playing the game!

You Are A Bomb by Benjamin Halko 2022-04-09T22:36:04Z

@jesus-gonzalez I just finished making an Android port!

Boing & Bonk by Mistafixxa069 2022-04-04T18:45:31Z

I really enjoyed the graphics! Nice job!

Pixel-Panic by IdeasPerSecond 2022-04-06T17:34:43Z

Great idea for a game! I had a lot of fun!

Drop by chingle 2022-04-04T17:57:25Z

Solid idea for a game. I had a lot of fun!

Race Fighter by redsti 2022-04-04T17:48:58Z

I love the art style!

Your end is... Cat? by nicknameriu 2022-04-04T18:26:11Z

Unfortunately, I couldn't access your game. Did you make sure to set it to public?

Cold and Alone by David York 2022-04-06T17:39:04Z

Very nice pixel art!

Delay Inevitable Death by nafos_games 2022-04-04T16:23:44Z

This game has amazing graphics!

Mental math practice: convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit by Turncoda 2022-10-03T19:17:49Z

Could you link the itch.io page? Thanks!

Lava Leaps by PeteyWoufes 2022-10-03T19:26:07Z

Unfortunately, the web version is broken for me. :frowning2:

TENTEN JUMP! by SuperGamersGames 2022-10-03T04:17:46Z

Pretty cool game! I love the graphics and it uses the theme quite well!

What are you doing with your life? by Nezteb 2022-10-03T19:25:36Z

Unfortunately, the web version is broken for me. :frowning2:

The CyberZapper by Vhalenn 2022-10-03T19:13:36Z

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-03T04:59:06Z

@etherianx Thanks

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-03T04:59:41Z

@thedashdude I do agree that the game is a bit chaotic. Thanks for the feedback!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-03T19:23:18Z

@erikengineengineer Thanks for playing! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-03T20:56:57Z

@zykino Sorry to hear that it was too chaotic. If it helps, the platforms change direction every 10 seconds and you can press tab to disable glow which might help with the flashy-ness. Thanks for giving the game a shot though!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-03T20:57:32Z

@vhalenn I am glad you enjoyed the graphics! :smile:

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-03T23:39:35Z

@asieke Thank you!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-04T01:27:02Z

@djd123456 I am glad you liked it!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-04T16:08:14Z

@adamphoebe I am glad you enjoyed the blobby-ness of that square!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-04T16:08:28Z

@georgy16 Thanks!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-04T16:09:19Z

@matt-ravenhall I was thinking of adding powerups... I just didn't have enough time unfortunately.

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-04T23:52:16Z

@eugenik Thank you!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-05T02:57:37Z

@kepsert You are welcome! I guess I need to fight for my #1 position! :laughing:

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-05T02:58:15Z

@coleb @uraffululz Thanks so much!!!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-06T04:58:39Z

@coleb Great job! Now my fight to #1 is even more difficult!

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-09T19:36:34Z

@stingby12 Sorry you didn't like the game. What would you do to improve it?

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-11T00:27:31Z

@stingby12 Good to know! If it helps, the platforms change every 10 seconds.

Every 10 seconds by ache games 2022-10-03T21:11:05Z

Very cool art style!

Rook Rules: Straight Forward Gaming by RookRules 2022-10-03T19:20:34Z

Thanks for streaming games!

DodgeBall DeathJam by Ashgramor 2022-10-03T17:48:20Z

Great game! It fits the theme very well. I don't know why, but I thought the graphic for the player running was humorous!

Pong but better by JyoGeet 2022-10-03T19:24:28Z

This sounds interesting! Could you link the game?

Clock Hop by Dcuookie 2022-10-03T16:06:55Z

The graphics were great! I love the idea of playing as a clock! Great job on the game!

Jump in the line by resacaGames 2022-10-03T19:22:18Z

I like the art style in this game. Very cool!

A Little Bit Of Everything by Matt Ravenhall 2022-10-03T19:01:43Z

This is a great game. It reminds me of the impossible game. I thought the "not" goals were funny.

Gravity Blocks by Soultie 2022-10-03T19:05:03Z

Congrats on making a PS Vita version!

Cursed to Hop by Weston Goggins 2022-10-03T19:07:59Z

Cool Game. I enjoyed the "eeevil" text in the hell background.

Deadly Tag! by Carl Williams 2022-10-03T19:19:24Z

Could you link a download? Thanks!

Stable Instability by TopHat Bolt 2022-10-03T19:15:26Z

LD54 — Limited Space

Critical Core by Benjamin Halko 2023-10-03T01:04:30Z

@normality Thanks for your feedback. I totally agree with you on the balancing, I was trying to get the right balance but seems like it could still be improved. I am glad you had fun though!

Critical Core by Benjamin Halko 2023-10-03T02:24:16Z

@euler-moises congrats and thanks for the kind words!

Critical Core by Benjamin Halko 2023-10-03T14:03:32Z

@raaph I agree

Critical Core by Benjamin Halko 2023-10-05T18:37:23Z

@nardandas Collision should be fixed now.

Critical Core by Benjamin Halko 2023-10-09T22:49:57Z

@ausstein should be fixed now!

Critical Core by Benjamin Halko 2023-10-10T17:51:47Z

@netarion Thank you for your feedback (and congrats on 1st place)! The both the scoring and circle teleport issues has been fixed.

Critical Core by Benjamin Halko 2023-10-10T23:54:27Z

@markais Very sorry about. I think I fixed the issue and I updated your score. (The end of level bonus was also accidentally doubled so your score has been converted to 168073)

Again, sorry about that.

LD55 — Summoning

Make New Friends by Benjamin Halko 2024-04-16T17:38:51Z

@rollcreators I added an alternative web version if you are finding that the HTML5 version is has too much lag.

@kpids Interesting... I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know. (Edit: I think I fixed it, it was an issue due to the song looping)

Make New Friends by Benjamin Halko 2024-04-21T02:41:54Z

@rincs @ogma-badparenting101 The Android version has now been released! Enjoy!

Make New Friends by Benjamin Halko 2024-04-22T23:55:17Z

@ausstein ........ You've already gotten first place! Leave some points for the rest of us! :laughing: GG!

Make New Friends by Benjamin Halko 2024-04-23T15:47:52Z

@ausstein Thanks for letting me know of this bug. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible. Sorry about that!

Make New Friends by Benjamin Halko 2024-04-23T16:25:43Z

@ausstein Fixed the bug. It was an issue with the pitch shifting of the higher rounds messing up the beat calculations.

Make New Friends by Benjamin Halko 2024-04-23T19:41:48Z

@ausstein Which web version are you using? I did change how the web assembly version was compiled. I was previously using the "less powerful" compiler by mistake. Maybe the "better" compiler is actually worse?

Make New Friends by Benjamin Halko 2024-04-23T21:23:38Z

@ausstein Yeah, I think it is just a problem on your end. I can see what I can do about the difficulty spike. I honestly didn't think anyone would make it that far.

Make New Friends by Benjamin Halko 2024-04-23T23:12:59Z

@ausstein GG!

@wendel-scardua Yeah, the itch version isn't meant to be played on mobile. It doesn't have access to the virtual keyboard.
