This was really cool
This was an awesome experience and the cries for help created a great, emotional soundtrack together with the music.
Unfortunately I got the ending with nothing happening after two minutes, and I felt really sad for a moment. Here I was swimming frantically (I actually had to take my mouse in both hands :D) and no matter how hard I tried I was doomed, they left me, I'm going to die, and everything faded to black.
I love it though, helplessness and struggling were well transferred to me as a player.
The only thing weak about it is the graphics, but not so much as to hurt the game at all.
Good job again, yes the code is a bit buggy, but everything else, the graphics, the design, the animation, the feel and text are so fun to experience.
This could be perfect if it weren't for those meddling bugs.
Love the writing, music and general feel of the game (reminds me slightly of classic fallout games and the like)
Would like to see it expanded into a fuller game with better polished controls and UI (retaining the retro style, it looks cool)
This was different. Its a nice moody, click and look what happens. If you work more on graphics more this can be nice piece of game.
I see other people like jumps :D This was fun. I actually sank the small ship by jumping on him. Good job.
Not sure there is any goal except saving mice, but i really like the mechanics and the AI of the neutrals. Good job.
Great idea and nicely polished music/graphics. The puzzles are fun and there's a lot of content here.
The sound of jumping is god awful though, and I feel the controls need more polishing (less sliding, faster acceleration... just more precision)
This simple little game has to be my favorite ever on Ludum Dare. You did great, polish it up some and port it to mobiles!
Pretty interesting, the movement was great for the most part. I found it very strange to use C for crouching instead of ctrl though
It looks like a good start to something, physics are nice and fun but too bad there isn't any game-play to this. Good atmosphere though.
Controls were a bit hard to manage, but the art style is great. If you add progress and upgrades this could be very fun game.
Nice idea and interpretation of the theme!
Loved it!
The graphics here are superb! It's a beautiful game, but the controls and some item placements on screen could use work. The "dodge back" (D) is hard to utilize well, and having enemies kill you behind obstacles where you don't see them (or yourself) feels really unfair.
I love your usage of the lens of truth mechanic, but what really stands out to me are the overal mood and graphics.
Cool idea, but very hard to control the player.
That has to be the most powerfull spork ever. Fun idea, would love to see it expanded. I kept digging until eventually I found my way to a glitch.
Really fun, blasting everything off with both powerups acquired was a joyride :D
The audio design is awesome, the controls need more responsiveness though.
Wow. It has everything and perfectly fits the theme. Mechanics are very fun to play with, and story becomes interesting. Great design, great game.
Its nice one, it got very hard very fast but its nicely done in such a short time.
Good job on finishing this. Its a nice game. I really liked the chain reaction deaths, and narhwals :)
I really like this, it's pretty cool and it looks great. I thought it was too hard at first, but then noticed the cues of the cooks position. Clever!
Not much to say except that it looks really good.
Hahaha, good one. Viva la pixel. It was mostly random clicking on pixels but good idea.
Its sure is a complex idea for 48 hours but still you did it. You sad in your description you would like to implement multiplayer. Maybe you could look at Unity2D abilities. It would be much simpler than flash. With this finished project your are step closer to your dream. Really god job.
Top graphics. You could really expand this with more enemy types and weapons.
Ending was weird. I didn't recognize the theme in gameplay but it was good to see a finished entry in short time. Good job.
Very nice. I had fun with this one. Jumping, shooting mechanics are really fun. Evolving scene is also great.
Its a hard game. Its fun if you give it time.
Good job for such a short time.
JB killing JB Zombies, what a game. Its very nice for 48 hours. Boomerang control is really fun. If you time your movement right you can let if fly forever on whole level.
Very nice memory game that actually perfectly fits the theme. One of the top entries i tried in LD28. It has everything for such a short time, nice visuals, audio and working gameplay.
Great work here with the narrative. Now I have to play through the generator choice as well. I love it.
The only thing that bothered me is the rooms. There are either too many empty rooms without a purpose for the player, or they miss some sort of labeling so I don't have to memorize which is which.
I'm off to see the generator ending now.
This was a weird experience (in a good sort of way), the controls were damn awfull, but I guess that sort of illustrates how life is mutable and hard to navigate. So I guess it's good? I don't know, I just know I liked it.
Great game. We made the similar idea. I really like how you realized yours. Good job.
Hilarious, clever, good progress curve, substantial... even when it gets too hard (and "a bit" frustrating) it's still great, this is my favorite entry so far.
Wooohooo, i saved the world!
The game is good, albeit too easy. The gameplay is too repetitive, however it's not much of a problem since the game is so short.
I didn't really like the use of the theme here, it felt just "thrown in for the sake of it", could have been only one of any amount of time it wouldn't make a serious impact.
The graphics and animations are awesome looking though and the sound is great!
This is awesome, idea, execution, quality. All great. Really good job.
Audio here is superb. I enjoyed the puzzles too, though they could use some further explanation.
Also a keyboard should really not be necessary to play (with an addition of two buttons it could be mouse optional, a minor not-so-relavant detail but something I would have preferred).
I got stuck at levels 6 & 8 (I stopped with 8th), I just can't figure out what I'm supposed to do there.
Yogurts and plastic forks - hilarious.
It's funny, and the mechanic of the responses relative to distance from the portal is interesting. Hard to control and could be cooler with more polish.
Fun and a neat idea but I found it too hard.
Its nice start for something but i didn't know what to do here.
I'm overwhelmed with glee here :D this was thrilling and fun!
Nice twist on the classic asteroids! Fun and Challenging
While the graphics and music are great, the collisions and the slow dragging speed of the player just kills me.
It's fun, but the controls are a bit hard to manage precisely.
Awesome game. Really nice soundtrack and visual style. My personal favorite so far.
Had fun on this one. Needless to say, i got some action in the end. Fun game, some shops were hard to enter but never the less. Nice one.
Very cool, now i know how pacman felt like chasing food.
Great mood and very thrilling to play.
Nice, fits the theme very good, its hard and fun. Good job.
I just love when it bounces in some weird way and gets triple kill.
I liked how the graphics and the audio work to create mood here. Took me a while to figure out the unlock sequence.
Also I really wanted only one of those mushrooms rather than the pill :)
The art is great, the audio is awesome (music especially, the "voice" gets a bit annoying/repetitive but is otherwise funny) and the gameplay is fun.
What I loved the most is the atmosphere. Overall - great work!
An awesome entry for such a short time. I think your ship would defeat Kenway's Jackdaw any day. :) Hope you know what i mean. Good job.
A nice entry, really good display of artist skills in such a short time. It feels good, it looks good.
Well i like your style. I know you can't do much but what you made is great and used your knowledge very good.
Always fun to manage farm and money. Nice game.
I enjoyed this, the mechanic was fun and would be nice to see it fleshed out into a full more complex and polished game.
I like the story too, but it was hard to read at times so text formatting could use work.
Also the soundtrack was really nice, it kept me playing.
Nice little puzzler. Easy to make a mistake and sometimes hard to figure out the right course of action, but since every action is quite short it doesn't get boring or annoying. I like it
Nice, a bit hard, but fun! Did I wake it up or kill it?
Really well done, i love the use of theme here. The game plays great, and it looks and sounds quite lovely too!
LOVE this! One of the best I've played, and probably my favorite. It's fun, just challenging enough without being too hard, the graphics are great, the theme is executed well and the story is quite nice (especially with a few comedic moments, and I love the resolution).
The whole game is just long enough to not have the existing play mechanics become repetitive.
The only thing that is lacking is some background music, maybe overall audio design but that's such a minor detail, and what is already there is quite decent.
Really action packed for a short entry. This was really awesome and i had lots of fun.
Nice game overall. It hard because when you panic enemies and flies look the same. I enjoyed playing it.
I don't know where 10 second theme is used but i had fun playing. Couldn't stop till i got to victory. Nice game.
I like the idea and audio, could be expanded to something really cool as it's really short now.
Fun game, a bit too slow at the beginning but it picks up the pace nicely soon enough.
I laughed too hard at the seppuku line :)
Pretty cool puzzle game, and yeah the theme should be interpreted as you see fit
Its a nice idea, the levels seem too easy for me and some levels too much similar. Anyway good job for short time.
Really cool idea. Also the sound effects really creates that panic mode. You could really work on this with few intro levels. It gets hard pretty quick.
Very good job.
Visuals and audio creates nice mood, but gameplay is lacking depth.
I really like visuals and idea but its hard to guess whats the best way of moving objects and very hard to accomplish anything.
Beautifully designed and polished. It was fun to play, but when you beat several planets, the rest of gameplay gets repetitive and nothing new to try. But you can still enjoy it. Very good job.
Great mood/graphics/audio, however the controls and lack of collision kinda ruin the fun of exploring
Great direction you went with this, hope it gets polished more outside of LD
Awesome idea, and the AI is great
The graphics and audio are great. Awesome job! I liked the exploration with what little time there was. But the game is too hard and having to sit through another few seconds of beating and same intro again and again was tedious
Really nice mechanics and random events. Really messes up with your brain, in a good way.
Too bad the only reward is score. I love the visuals and the feel of the game. Good one.
Really great idea. It was fresh playing this. Even after last level i wanted more. Good game.
Simple and fun. Good job with the rainbow!
Audio and visuals are awesome. I love the mood while playing. I couldn't feel the time passing by at all. I traveled to the big tower and walked around creating sunsets. It was great. I wish i had Oculus to try it out on this game.
Great art, animation and music. It creates a perfect mood. Stopping and melding with the shadows really has nice feel to it.
Too bad its short but hey, don't give up just because jam is over. You really have something solid here.
Its simple but hey, its finished, it has nice mood and original character. Good job.
The background hurts my eyes :-/
I like the mechanics very much. Game is hard even at casual stage. Still fun to play with time.
Eventually I just stopped taking the gold with me, too hard still. Like the feel of it though and the graphics.
Addictive, very much so :)
All hail the queen!
Awesome entry, i enjoyed this one so much.
Really awesome game. I liked every aspect of it and had fun playing it.
Nice first game, congratulations.
Really nice idea and level design. Also beautifully polished. Good game.
Its relaxing and creates nice atmosphere. It has cute visuals also. Nice one!
Great audio and visuals. That is what makes this game. Gameplay gets old very fast but never the less nice experience.
Looks good and it's crazy fun. The first explosion had me completely in awe :)
But I too don't like the slowness much (if it were a controllable effect it would be quite good)
Thank your for this emotional experience
Music and atmosphere is what kept me going for more. Its cute.
Really like this, nice work. Only thing that bothered me is that I couldn't speed up the doctor's messages early in the game.
This has got to be my favorite entry. Best use of theme I've seen
That was cute. I like your style and what you did with it in such a short time. Good job.
Incredible for 72 hours. Really good job. I was alone killing 2 inactive players but it was still fun.
Indiana Jones level won 5 star humor award by itself. I really had fun on some challenges. Good game.
Good game, nicely fits the theme. Avoiding monsters was good idea. Am i the only one who noticed his alien penis? :D
The idea is great, a vampire hiding from the sun - pure awesome. The graphics are nice too, but the controls are a bit iffy and they make an already hard game harder
I love "programing" games! Nice one
Nice idea for a puzzle game here, unfortunately the 10 seconds theme doesn't really help the gameplay. I agree with someone who said it would be cool if it was a 60 second game. There's not enough time to tinker and think.
So hard, but just as addictive. Nice work
This has got to be the most creative use of the theme I've seen so far. I love it.
And though I like it is not frantic it could have a slightly faster pace to transfer the feelings of urgency, danger and impending doom better.
Nice graphics, a theme of 10 seconds is lost on me here but never the less, it is awesome and it is fun tweaking around. AI is challenging enough. Great job.
It was refreshing playing this game. Had lots of fun. The theme was lost on be, i just kept using spacebar. But very good job overall.
Well executed idea. It sets the mood. Those spikes are annoying. Wish i had a bit more control over jump. But good job with the environment.
Cute models but nothing much to have fun with. It would much better if you had more control over your gun.
Totally fun! Nice graphics and gameplay. My beef is with the camera/screen size. Sometimes it's impossible to coordinate yourself correctly due to not being able to see the threat below you.
I liked this, it's addictive. I only feel that certain situations should score higher (like tossing a blue ball into the only blue cup on the field)
It has nice concept, cute graphics. Its looks like fun but its too easy to finish. I would like to quote the LD Staff: "Something we hope to do more is encourage participants to take their Ludum Dare games “above and beyond” the Competition and Jam."
So i think this has really nice potential to be a really good game.
That was very funny! :D
graphic design is very good. but only 3 levels and confusing gameplay is a big downside.
there should be a timer notification of some kind to see the energy you have left.
Love the graphics and mood! Fun puzzles too
Love the innovation, but found the controls and gameplay to be a bit too chaotic for my taste.
Its a cute game, style fits well with the theme.
I wish it was more rewarding after stealing all that money. Nice artwork! Good job.
This was fun. Fits the theme, and you can feel the rush.
An example of a great gameplay. Fresh game, graphics and audio needs some work but good job.
This was fun. I didn't mind repeating and saving more kitties. Good job.
simple and cute. its a nice game
Its really well polished for few days of work, not much to progress in game but very good job anyway.
it looks like a good start to something bigger, but it got old quickly. nice mood overall.
some bugs here and there. but i really liked the music.
This was hard, but fun none the less.
10 second pressure really gets the blood flowing.
Great game. I really enjoy playing even without making to the bus. Just making havoc was fun.
it looks like really fun idea that fits the theme. however execution was not that smooth. hard to control the player and guess if you are hidden or not.
this was fun, it fits the theme, it sets the nice mood. good game.
unresponsive octopus makes it hard to compose anything and have fun with music, but still its possible to beat the level.
graphics and audio are awesome though.
LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen (39)
Last Ark by Nuclear Napalm 2014-12-29T22:30:00
This was really great. Loved the storytelling and the overall mood created by the back-story, symbiot's thoughts and the music. The beeping wasn't that bad but it clashed slightly with the music - which is the only annoyance in the game for me. (The beeping itself is a great idea, just wish it was more refined)
I managed to land my remaining two embryos on a planet with 57% survival rate, just in time as I started panicking about oxygen.
Fill the bar by SMASH BASH 2014-12-29T11:02:00
I'm so glad I played this, though it took me 15 levels to go for the "useless" numbers upgrades; and just when I was getting sick and tired of pointless bar upgrades.
Love, love, love the game!!
Mr. Duck and the room0 by brainstorm 2014-12-24T22:56:00
This was fun, and the progression of difficulty was really nice. I had some serious lag issues though (on firefox)
Tetropica by Yrasin 2014-12-24T07:22:00
Really good idea, I loved it. I did get completely stuck at the start of one level being unable to find a place to dig through for my first shape.
Creep Arena by jeffjk 2014-12-24T07:15:00
It's a nice idea and fun, but too easy. 4-6 Turrets is pretty much all that's needed
Platform 31 by Rodaja 2014-12-16T19:23:00
Great game, love the graphics, the powerups the train. Everything is great!
My only (little) problem with it is that on ocassion one player would get all the powerups/weapons for a while (2-3 train passes), and the other nothing.
Line Knight by QuexD 2014-12-13T00:22:00
Nice intro and funny monsters but i couldn't figure out the game play. Just kept pressing 1 until i died a few times.
Still a nice job for a 48 hours.
CORE! by Slepice1 2014-12-13T00:18:00
This was great, i love these types of games so i had fun.
It would be awesome if there was more upgrades that improve the tank, not just repair. Building walls is great touch.
Awesome what you did in 48 hours. Great job.
Mascarpone by Domicuc 2014-12-13T00:12:00
This was nice, i had great time, its fun, funny, audio is great.
Switching colors really messed me up :) Makes the game really challenging. Awesome what you did in 72 hours.
Great job.
Elf Hunter by Kim Sjöberg 2014-12-12T09:13:00
I didn't really like the reloading, but mostly because it was not easily visible and glancing at my current ammo was often distracting. If it were better displayed I wouldn't mind it much.
Other than that a solid entry, love the music.
Kerfuffle by rabbit 2014-12-11T23:22:00
Those are the two most bad-ass squares I've seen. Love the little roll in the air after sword attack. You did a great job on it and everything feels good. Fun little time waster
murder of Zafu by Franklin's Ghost 2014-12-11T15:36:00
This is really great for what little there is. The animations, from the opening to the characters are really well done. The premise is great and would be cool to see a fuller story/game here.
Offscreen Blackout by peacegiverman 2014-12-11T13:43:00
Nice use of the theme and pretty innovative as far as I can say. Too bad it's so short. I kept trying to zoom in/out with the mouse wheel (force of habit).
A minor bug:
The last level will show a Well Done message after the Game Over one, if you continue clearing boxes (in the wrong way) and get to just the black ones. You won't actually beat the level though.
Snow to Basic by NicePenguins 2014-12-11T01:50:00
Lol, the snowman gave up finally. The bastard!
Constraint by Loon Of Nature 2014-12-11T01:40:00
I broke the screen, or some such? Well, for a metaphor it does what it's supposed to, I guess.
Space Roach Exterminator by stjahns 2014-12-11T01:38:00
Solid entry, the space roach party bit thoroughly confused me, I wanted to kill some more.
Hive by JoshDBB 2014-12-11T01:25:00
I really liked this, the use of audio is awesome and together with the dangers lurking from the shadows kept me on my toes all the way. The spiders are really creepy (thank you, btw, for increasing my fear of them some more ;) )
I love how their green silhouettes still go after you, this creates a deeper sense of fear. just awesome crafted mood all around.
It's really hard though, but I'm content with my progress to the 2nd night.
OMNI by Noah Ratcliff 2014-12-10T23:39:00
I really love the idea of this, however it's too hard for me and I get frustrated having to start over again (and not reaching very far in the first place)
But the use of theme here is so, so, so good.
First of Many by Anikki 2014-12-10T14:14:00
This is fun, it was hard getting into it at first. A couple of times I messed myself up by spending all the wood and then the forests I was mining went dry and I hate to start over.
Hunt The Yeti by Elisée and friends 2014-12-10T14:10:00
Amazing and really addictive. I'm finally giving up after reaching wave 5 it gets too hard for me.
Sugarbound by PixelCrust 2014-12-10T12:18:00
This was very fun. So much finished content for a short time.
It felt a bit easy to play, but probably because i like these types of games.
Great job.
Bathyal Commodore by BubbleChien 2014-12-10T10:41:00
I really the idea, and the mood you set. Game play is a little confusing. Probably because sonar is a bit slow its hard to follow.
Good job.
Treasure Quest by ruerob 2014-12-10T10:36:00
Speech text is a bit slow, but really god job on everything else.
I find the little cuddly human very lovable :)
A Chainsaw Across my Heart by MonoS 2014-12-10T10:30:00
A love the personal touch here. Made me go trough every dialog and in the end i was happy i did.
Good job.
Lone by BlueTheLemon 2014-12-10T10:25:00
Really nice game. A bit too hard but fits the theme, creates really nice atmosphere, well polished, no bugs.
Great job.
SCREEN HEAD by NickZangus 2014-12-10T00:18:00
Well done, i liked the stapler gun haha :)
Wish the character moved faster
Screencap'd by Avant-Marde 2014-12-10T00:06:00
This was really entertaining and left me wanting more levels. I loved the puzzles, though they were pretty easy.
The music is great and relaxing, I might just let it run for a while longer in the background :)
The physics are a bit off (the character is moving/jumping too slow for my liking, and sometimes, rarely I would get stuck for a second when colliding with walls mid-jump. But those are really minor details.)
Business in Tokyo by 2dgamedev 2014-12-09T23:54:00
I love the concept (obviously :) ) and kudos to you for live streaming the whole of development, that's awesome.
I did find it weird that the sharks are so slow (would expect agression) or that items spawn randomly around the raft instead of them coming in from the sides of the screen. Other that that it's pretty neat.
Man on the Field by Double Zero One Zero 2014-12-09T23:47:00
The graphics are great, so is the music, but it clashes with the game's theme.
This isn't a big thing, but in parts of Central Europe "Z" and "Y" have swapped places on the keyboard, and games using zxc... controls can get very annoying
Snowbert by spacedoubt 2014-12-09T23:36:00
Simple and sweet.
A Programmer's Life by Rene Damm 2014-12-09T21:19:00
I finished (got promoted) several times but i can't figure out what i did, i just click random things.
It was a nice idea, but like other incremental games, it requires a lot of time to balance things out.
Slam Dunkin's Beat The Crap Out Of Everybody by sP0CkEr2 2014-12-09T21:10:00
Oh i had so much fun trying out every character. It feels a bit random but really good job overall.
I think it would be better without dummy but still nice :)
Bugged Out by InfectionTeam 2014-12-09T20:35:00
Hahaha, this made my day, I wasn't expecting the game on top of the screen after pong. And I don't normally like spiders, but this poor guy... and those pesky flies...
Loved it, very well done overall. I do wish it were somewhat easier to aim.
The Shift by SoulGame 2014-12-09T20:29:00
Innovative and theme well used. Nice work
PenguinPush by duon44 2014-12-09T19:16:00
This is a nice game, what made it really cool is the little details like cute characters, animated scene, and a crown for a leading player really nails it. Great job.
Snake Rider by ETHproductions 2014-12-09T19:09:00
I really liked the randomization and the progression of the game. The game feels very slow, and player control is just too bad. Because player slides after jump lots of deaths are just annoying. With good friction this can be a really good game.
Good job overall.
Raptor Polo by Bensonance 2014-12-09T10:57:00
The graphics and attention to detail is really nice. I find the game incredibly hard though, that little guy is too evasive for my liking and is frustrating me. I was playing with an Xbox controller.
Arena by Poupi 2014-12-09T10:41:00
The graphics are awesome and the music is nice, though it clashes a bit with the other sounds at times.
I didn't like the controls, in general I find binding anything to a middle click to be tiresome when playing (wheel is fine though)... especially since you're already using the keyboard.
I love the enemies and their animations, it was hard knowing which does what; though that makes it more challenging and that's fine.
a TV Show or a One Screen Game by Si1ver 2014-12-09T02:29:00
That's a really clever puzzle game, I liked it. Very innovative and fitting the theme perfectly.
