LD30 — Connected Worlds

Collect Worlds by staxx6 2014-09-03T00:34:00

Congrats on the game! A good effort for this comp.

Love Craft by renatopp 2014-08-26T04:45:00

Congrats on your game! Despite reading the instructions a few times I didn't really get what I was supposed to do. I stuck with it for a while and finally got it though and once I did I started to enjoy it. Just a bit slow for me personally and yeah it would have benefited from some audio etc. Cheers, Ben.

Frog, Raccoon, Mosquito by clofresh 2014-08-25T01:44:00

HAHA what a cool idea! Can't wait to try it out.

From Earth To Mars by IHateATMFees 2014-08-25T12:03:00

Congrats on your game! The graphics are really cool and I like the concept and the mechanics work really well for it. It's quite challenging which is great but I think even a simple backing track would have really helped set the mood for this game. Cheers, Ben.

CMYK by PixelArtM 2014-08-26T04:56:00

Congrats on your game! I like the idea of this game, but it needs a few more features to make it a bit less repetitive. Mix up the gap spacing, or have some additional element to jump over / avoid etc. Cheers, Ben.

The Quest For The Missing Baby by Ofursnati 2014-08-25T12:59:00

Congrats on your game! OH MAN I LOVE THIS GAME!!! It's only a short little game but was super fun to play and fits really well with the theme. Being a metal fan I only wish that you had of went with the evil world as the main \m/>_<\m/ Controls work well, graphics are good and yeah although short the gameplay is rock solid. Cheers, Ben.

Viewpoint Twins by davidcollado 2014-08-25T13:11:00

Congrats on your game! What a cool idea and you've set it up so that it works really well and is quite challenging. I'd love to play a larger screen size version of this game with some cool backing tracks. Cheers, Ben.

Spaceship Invasion by shesaidgraves 2014-08-25T12:24:00

Congrats on your game! I really liked the reload feature you went with here as opposed to the usual blast away like crazy space shooter. Some explosion effects would have been good and also destroying the players bullet when it hits an enemy, although perhaps you set it up like that on purpose to go with the limited ammo? Cheers, Ben.

Enaxius by Orange 2014-08-25T05:09:00

Congrats on your game! This is a fun little space shooter that would be greatly improved with a scoring system, backing audio tracks and some explosion effects for the player's ship. I really liked the graphics and the simple powerup system.

Hop Hop Planet by SnoutUp 2014-08-25T12:32:00

Congrats on your game! This is a fun little game to play and is actually quite challenging. I really like the gravity effect of the planets and your graphics as always are simple, yet very clean and well balanced as always. Just needed an audio track to push the 'fun' to the next level. Cheers, Ben.

Green vs Yellow by TinyMeteor 2014-08-31T16:53:00

I enjoy a good space shooter but the bullet noise here started to get to me after a while. :-D

Tinker Maze by belowzerogames 2014-08-29T03:18:00

Congrats on your game! This is a fun and challenging little game. I really enjoyed the sound effects and the game play but yeah some of the hit boxes are a bit frustrating :-D Might be cool to have a specific border for the mazes also as sometimes I'd head off investigating a particular direction, only to get stopped by an invisible wall. With a bit of under the hood work, a backing track(s) and perhaps some art updates to the toys, this would be an even more fun game. Cheers, Ben.

The Crossover Episode by Valon487 2014-08-25T12:51:00

Congrats on your game! I liked the idea for this and enjoyed it at the start but it was a little slow. Some minor animations to the characters would have been cool but I can see that the vast amount of your time was spent on gameplay and that's cool. Cheers, Ben.

WARP WORLDS by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-08-25T05:47:00

Funny and a bit face palming to look through my concept notes for WARP WORLDS. For example I totally forgot that I was going to make the World 1 pink enemy jump! That would have been so easy to do and would have made World 1 a lot better! >_< I'll add it in post LD30.

WARP WORLDS by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-08-25T08:22:00

Thanks! I'm glad you like the graphics and that's funny because they're what I spent the least amount of time on and what I was most horrified with when submitting. Haha

WARP WORLDS by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-08-26T06:10:00

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
The new global high score is 3738, if you manage to beat that please Tweet a screenshot from the main menu to me: @ThumbsBlue (Note: to get back to the main menu from the Game Over screen press "L". Also if anyone is interested in playing this game after I update it (a non LD30 version) with various features I forgot to put and extended game play, please send an email to bluethumbsgaming@gmail.com.
Cheers, Ben.

FireBug by arbiccdheife 2014-08-26T03:58:00

Hmmm I downloaded the OS/X version but all I got was an empty folder named "FireBugApple". ???

Archive Studios - World Link by Alendro 2014-08-29T03:36:00

Congrats on your game. I really liked the idea, look and sound of this but I just couldn't get a handle on the controls well enough to get into the game very far. Cheers, Ben.

Middleman by quisition 2014-08-29T03:28:00

Congrats on your game! Um there aren't any instructions that I could find, so I didn't really have any idea what I was supposed to do. I figured out that the button on the top left (can't read the text though) toggles the "dude" invisible to the women which is cool but yeah had no idea what to do. Also I jumped off a top right wall and just hung there in 'space' and had to quit and restart the game.
Cheers, Ben.

Deloused at the Exploratorium by sepharoth213 2014-08-29T03:41:00

Congrats on your game! Oh man, that backing track... :P Unfortunately without any instructions (that I could find) I had no idea what I was supposed to do and quickly lost interest and gave up. Cheers, Ben.

Becky's Adventure in Mirrorland by vctr_seleucos 2014-08-26T15:06:00

Congrats on your game! I played the old version and it's a super fun little platformer and was quite challenging. Will keep playing the new version until I beat it. Cheers, Ben.

Neanderthal Twins by RegularSlinky 2014-08-25T12:42:00

Congrats on your game! Oh man this is a challenging but very fun little game. I really want to be better at it but the portals screw with my stupid brain too badly and I always die soon after. That's no fault of the game mind you! Solid gameplay and mechanics that fits in really well with the theme, the only thing I didn't like was the screen shake seemed a little heavy handed to me and a backing track would have helped set the mood a bit more. Cheers, Ben.

This Is Your World Too by Akurn 2014-08-25T13:25:00

Congrats on your game! Fun little game and I really liked the simple graphics. A backing track or two might have helped to set the mood for the progression of the game ever more. Cheers, Ben.

Planet Teatherer by Mega 2014-09-01T14:56:00

Congrats on your game! It's a fun little game but without fixed room boundaries it's easy to go flying off out of the room and be unable to find your way back, which can be frustrating when trying to break a lowest time record. Cheers, Ben.

World Portals by Keevinw 2014-08-26T06:06:00

Congrats on your game! Quite challenging and fun to play but obviously would have been better with some actual characters and also some audio etc. Cheers, Ben.

Flip World by MJ Mantis 2014-08-26T04:52:00

Congrats on your game! Oh man this game is cool but I just couldn't get past some of the sections due to my stupid brain not being able to comprehend the world flip. That's no fault of the game though and I wish I was better at it. A backing track would have been cool. Cheers, Ben.

Super Alien Bro by nerd burglars 2014-08-29T03:46:00

Congrats on your game! Kenny Wings! This games looks and sounds great and the powerups are a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the switched controls powerups, which took some time to get used to. Cheers, Ben.

Link by hundredhundred 2014-08-26T04:33:00

Congrats on your game! This is quite a fun and challenging game but I'm sure that it fits in with the theme of the jam so well. It took me a little while to get the hang of it but once I did I really enjoyed playing. Cheers, Ben.

Link by hundredhundred 2014-08-26T04:37:00

Oh I forgot to say that my High Score was 31. :-D
And also that this game reminded me of "Frogger".

Office Hero! by Hi_ImTemmy 2014-08-25T13:19:00

Congrats on your game! Super fun idea and a lot of fun to play. Cheers, Ben.

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Black Hole Surfer by tripleVisionGames 2014-12-09T09:26:00

Awesome game, congrats!

ScreenShots by ilikescifi 2014-12-08T11:41:00

Fun little game!
Good idea to have the score based on shots fired.

Snow Problem by TehSkull 2014-12-11T06:46:00

Whoa! What did I just play? Absolutely hilarious! I love your sense of humor.
-Steffen

Flowerpots and Tables by mohammad 2014-12-11T03:32:00

Needs some ratings!

Snowman's Quest by dekart 2014-12-08T11:46:00

Cool animations on the lumberjack!

Ever Expanding Dungeon by barret907k 2014-12-15T08:06:00

Like the others said: Cool concept. Could've been pretty interesting with different rooms. Not being able to see stuff after walking 5 rooms into one direction is a big problem, though.
-Steffen

Outpost: New World by BMacIntosh 2014-12-08T11:57:00

Fun game, congrats!

discrepancy by reheated 2014-12-08T12:11:00

Cool game and quite challenging!

Dungeon of Jest by Ithildin 2014-12-08T15:45:00

Fun, would have been even better with a backing track.
Ben.

Skyfarms by GagaPete 2014-12-08T15:50:00

Wow this is hard!
Ben.

Cat-A-Clyscreen by psychomonster 2014-12-08T21:55:00

Graphics are decent (I love that cat drawing), sounds are funny. I never found a pipe to reach higher windows, though, so I didn't have much fun. Tried it about 20 times.
-Steffen

by gre 2014-12-08T12:00:00

It's like crossy road for a snowman, cool!

90 Second Portraits by SimonLarsen 2014-12-11T07:20:00

Thanks for the fun time! You really nailed it with this wonderful game. The graphics are awesome and it works like a charm.
-Steffen

No Idea Man by phi 2014-12-09T01:29:00

Very fun! I like the note paper layout! -Kintinue

Glow Drop by Gamepopper 2014-12-08T12:08:00

Nice game! Only complaint is that I had to reduce my browser view to 65% to fit the game in screen.

Behind The Fog by fullmontis 2014-12-09T01:26:00

Very cool concept! Reminded me a bit of the old maps you'd see on the wold Warcraft games. - Kintinue

Pyramid of death by KedumeBits 2014-12-09T10:26:00

Using the UP button makes the game screen go up. :(
Ben.

The Incredible Zombie Slaying Lumber Jack by Integershift 2014-12-09T02:22:00

Pretty cool! the only thing is that you can basically just run in a circle to collect the wood. Other than that, the idea is awesome! - Kintinue

Adrift by Supernaught 2014-12-10T18:19:00

The graphics and puzzles are awesome! Love it! The minimal sounds are very fitting.
-Steffen

Unicycle by bunnyhero 2014-12-09T09:27:00

Double dipping your jams, cheeky!

Tiny's Adventure in TV Land by Kate Kligman 2014-12-08T11:58:00

Unfortunately the Space Bar plays havoc with the game in Chrome.

Dust Sorcerer by Kulomin 2014-12-10T18:13:00

Graphics are good and game play is fun. That flamethrower-like spell's sound is unbearable, though.
-Steffen

Christmas Tycoon by GreenyUk 2014-12-08T12:16:00

Very impressive 48hr effort!

Collect the Crystals by Wiering 2014-12-09T09:50:00

Nice touch with the zooming. Makes it interesting.
-Steffen

Illumination by TheRealGreyboy 2014-12-09T09:30:00

Need to add some ratings!

Tiny Arena by SketchyGalore 2014-12-08T12:15:00

Smash, Kill, Destroy!

neven by igoramendola 2014-12-09T02:03:00

Awesome! Very innovative. -Kintinue

Snowball Swarm by Wirtualnosc 2014-12-08T15:43:00

Brutal!
Ben.

Neighboring by psychonull 2014-12-09T01:56:00

Super fun! I like that everything depends on each other. Fun! -Kintinue

Cat-ana by Valandre 2014-12-09T01:45:00

That is really neat! I like that it stays on one screen but then floats to other levels. - Kintinue

1Screen by lonewookie 2014-12-08T15:49:00

Oh man, so frustrating to fall down repeatedly when I was so close to the top. Not the game's fault though, it's fun!
Ben

Build A Snowman by peejaygee 2014-12-08T15:53:00

Woh huge screen! And it took forever to load. I like those RL graphics though.
Ben.

Snow Need To Rush by SnoutUp 2014-12-08T11:55:00

Great work as always! Although I had to reduce my browser view to fit the game in the screen.

EtiChopper by efux 2014-12-08T11:43:00

Congrats on your game. I lost precious seconds trying to resize the game view and then go lost out of screen for a while >_<

Penguin Savior by Samuel Arminana 2014-12-08T22:02:00

That shadow moving across the room is scary. Windows build runs noticeably faster (which I like) than the web build. Graphics are pretty nice.
-Steffen

Snowman Invasion by Jaloko 2014-12-08T11:50:00

Fun game at the start but it didn't very long before the poor old snowmen didn't stand a chance.

Bell Buster by belowzerogames 2014-12-12T14:04:00

Nice idea for a game! I tried the HTML5 version and thought there was something missing because I couldn't work out what I was supposed to do, so I downloaded the windows version and found what's missing. For me in Chrome the HTML5 version doesn't spawn any new bells! Also in the windows version you can break bells through the "Touch any key" banner. :-D Aside from that, congrats it's great!

Poo Dee Pie by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-12-08T12:04:00

Yeah, I agree. There's still time left so I'm going to patch in a brutal version very soon.

Poo Dee Pie by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-12-08T13:38:00

Thanks for playing and for the feedback. I've now patched in a more challenging version. ^_^

Poo Dee Pie by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-12-09T01:43:00

Actually I need to delete that first place score as I got that with a version that was much easier. Thanks for reminding me!
Ben.

Poo Dee Pie by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-12-09T14:24:00

Yes! Factory work is very tedious and incredibly shitty, you nailed it. :-D
Ben

Poo Dee Pie by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-12-10T01:23:00

New Global High Score is 133 pies!
Do you have what it takes to stand the horribly disgusting monotony of pie factory worker life and beat it?
Ben.

Poo Dee Pie by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-12-11T11:14:00

Awww u don't like monotonously pooing on dee horrible pies?!
:(

Poo Dee Pie by Blue Thumbs Gaming 2014-12-30T07:33:00

I love all the comments saying the game is too repetitive, too slow, not interesting etc. and then I go and check the running score stats and they're all like 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 6, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1 HAHAHA

Bathyal Commodore by BubbleChien 2014-12-09T08:33:00

Nice concept! I was really on the edge while playing this.
-Steffen

Floor is Lava by sepharoth213 2014-12-08T12:14:00

Cool game. Unfortunately I really suck at it.

NO AMMO NO ARMOUR NO SIGNAL by Farfin 2014-12-09T10:23:00

Fun little game and challenging.
Ben.

Wizards Are Bad by Lovelock 2014-12-09T10:23:00

Woh HUGE SCREEN!
Ben.

Attack of The Yellow Cubes by shanecelis 2014-12-15T08:35:00

Wa. Wawawawawawwwawawwwaa. Ouch. Wa. Wawa. Wa. Wawawawawa. Wa. ... Wa.
Love the concept. Very funny. :D
-Steffen

RotaMaze by Yorgo 2014-12-12T12:57:00

Too bad you ran out of time. Looks really promising!
-Steffen

Graveyard Slot by Threstle 2014-12-09T09:47:00

Great mood. Will have nightmares tonight.
-Steffen

FindeTheN by b2 2014-12-08T12:02:00

Game doesn't load on chrome. :(

Ship the Sheep by Bardikus 2014-12-08T12:15:00

Well done!

Growth by Flaid 2014-12-15T08:18:00

Became too fast to pick up the sunlight. Liked the concept, though! The game really needs some kind of background to show the size. That white background made me realize how dirty my screen is. ;)
-Steffen

Border31 by wavertron 2014-12-08T12:12:00

FUN!

Border31 by wavertron 2014-12-09T02:07:00

For some reason, my score never showed up. It was very cool, though. Reminded me of snake a bit! - Kintinue

Channel Surfing by RockhopperGames 2014-12-09T08:25:00

Could play that penguin jumping game for hours. Interesting game - reminded me of my childhood, somehow (sad, I know). I REALLY wanted to turn on that lamp next to the TV, though.
-Steffen

Picofrio: Shadow Play night by ManuSaiz 2014-12-08T11:51:00

WOHHH That's a huge screen!

A Dog's Tale by TKF15H 2014-12-08T12:06:00

The arrow keys and space bar really wig out the game view in Chrome.

Microscope by johnbrynte 2014-12-08T11:53:00

Awesome!

Shoob by jonnopon3000 2014-12-14T15:38:00

Controls are very precise and easy. Too bad there's not much happening (enemies are no challenge) and the white face of the cube was unplayable because I couldn't see my "character".

Boing! by daredevildave 2014-12-12T12:45:00

I love how you kept with the theme by having the room change. Game feels nice and smooth, is fun to play and very challenging. Good work.
-Steffen

Nap Quest by sanojian 2014-12-08T12:09:00

Fun game, but the Space Bar makes the game view move in Chrome.

Browser Escape by MarkSkyzoid 2014-12-15T08:12:00

Really liked the concept. Too bad I had to reload the page every time I fell of the screen. I liked the touch that the space banner had lower gravity but I couldn't make that jump.
-Steffen
