LD35 — Shapeshift

Morph Ranger by mrnannings 2016-04-18T18:27:00

Pretty good!

Transformagician by HuvaaKoodia 2016-04-18T02:20:00

Can't run security error

Block 1 by crazyrems 2016-04-18T21:49:00

Player movement is so bad to the point where it is impossible to play. Sorry I looks like a good game but my player just teleports and flys all over the place.

Selkie by nickavv 2016-04-18T03:01:00

Movement is terrible but all else is good

Ward 52: Bullet Hell by Mithreindeir 2016-04-18T02:46:00

Couldn't get past the 3rd gaurd it is way too hard

Shadow Shifter by Broken Matrix 2016-04-18T01:54:00

NOTE: Level 10 is not available in the level selector so you will have to get to it yourself. :)

Portal Hotel by ezolotko 2016-12-12T17:32:00

The Undersea Room of Jack Sisu by dingotime 2016-12-15T01:05:00

partial clone of lovers in a dangerous spacetime

Clue by Wumbo 2017-01-01T00:04:00

unorigninal and unplayable because the detected can tell who the murderer is by looking at who the other player is moving lol

The Tortile Chamber by Nanolotl 2016-12-12T05:09:00

Fun game definitely had some inspiration from antichamber

ISS - Infuriating Space Simulator by Scruffy 2016-12-13T01:00:00

Ungelo by Broken Matrix 2016-12-12T05:12:00

I can give you some help if you need it

Ungelo by Broken Matrix 2016-12-12T05:25:00

WANING TO EVERYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AIMING: Press the escape button until the cursor shows up and then press in the center of the window, this is a problem with unity I appologize

Ungelo by Broken Matrix 2016-12-16T02:51:00

for Ayxs its a puzzle game it's not supposed to be obvious how to do

Geometry Warfare by NoobDude29 2016-12-25T18:00:00

its ok

LD38 — A Small World

Super Tiny Adventure Game by sinclairstrange 2017-04-25T15:48:41Z

it was okay nothing really special

Zynite by broken-matrix 2017-05-01T21:32:48Z

It was made in a 48 hour challenge, remember what site your on? If i uploaded a more complete version, for you to be following the rules you would have to play the original anyway.

Zynite by broken-matrix 2017-05-02T17:07:30Z

LittleCJ, could you give some constructive critisism atleast? Maybie tell me what could of been better what you have said is very vague.

Solar Smash by blacksheepza 2017-05-02T17:17:16Z

Horribly optimized, not very fun.

My little planet by mindtricks 2017-05-02T17:14:29Z

really good

Den by La mecanique du plastique 2017-04-25T16:12:31Z

the art is good but it runs slow and there is not much gameplay

LD39 — Running out of Power

Modular Destruction Labs by SecondDimension 2017-08-03T16:20:07Z

Pretty fun to mess with a first but if you expand the game, definatly add more components.

Ionium by broken-matrix 2017-08-01T14:31:02Z

Thanks! For other people if they don't understand, when the projector receives an input it displays it above it self in text, the only inputs are numbers so it will always be a number. c:

Ionium by broken-matrix 2017-08-03T16:08:38Z

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it a lot, you definatly earned a karma point! To you and sanguine, I was trying to make an actual game that could be expanded on if I wanted, not just a short thing where you play in 5 minutes. For the tutorial I know it is complicated, and to help I put in the mini puzzles, If I had more time I would have made it more interactive and more spread out, but the game was only functional when I had 3 hours before the deadline and I started making levels then, and the last hour was compiling web and windows. I don't like the thing that a lot of people do on here, where they just take a bunch of simple mechanics from games they like and mash them together, it ends up with very shallow and uninteresting gameplay, that is why I spend so much time on the inner workings, each functional component only took me around 10 minutes to make, they have very simple implementations, but the super class "IONode" is what I spent so long on, if I only had an inverter and adder, and wires I would of ended up with something simular, only less fun, way easier which is a BAD thing, puzzle games should NOT be easy xD. Sorry for the run on senteces and spelling cant bother to change them with this tiny text box.

Ionium by broken-matrix 2017-08-11T03:19:10Z

Thank you! And I will do so, but most likely move it out of Unity for a lot of reasons. :p

Lucis by Kristian David 2017-08-01T15:09:37Z

I was able to play it some, but kept getting stuck on the moving concrete wall that blocks you, good game anyway.

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Rocks by broken-matrix 2017-12-08T19:51:37Z

... that's not good the jars should be packed into the executable one

Rocks by broken-matrix 2017-12-11T04:04:42Z

Just hold left click for half a second(same time for each rock level) but you will need an upgraded pickaxe to mine higher level rocks like stated in the description. At first you can only mine stone(right click on a block to see its name) but after you have a stone pickaxe you can mine the tier 1 ores and then you make a pickaxe out of that then repeat one more time and you can build the things needed to kill the bosses.

Smooth Lines by yojammerjammer 2017-12-05T02:20:15Z

no downloads?

Smooth Lines by yojammerjammer 2017-12-05T03:25:58Z

Nice game, saw one of your posts earlier so I kept the tab open while I was making my game so I could play it later... dunno if the game browser is just showing me bad games every year on purpose or if there really just isn't very many lol

LD42 — Running out of space

Timothy's Correctional Institute by broken-matrix 2018-08-22T02:44:58Z

Sorry about that... the method for getting un-trapped was explained in the 2nd level. The game is based around the doors being portals that you can connect in ways that wouldn't be possible in real life. I never explained this in the game so it can be confusing... When you saw two freezers it was just the same freezer, so when you walked through the door you were actually walking out of the same door back into the room.

Timothy's Correctional Institute by broken-matrix 2018-09-02T18:56:13Z

@foxisxiii There is, I wasn't aware that changing the description would erase the part where it said what platform it was. The icon is still there but I'll change it.

Timothy's Correctional Institute by broken-matrix 2018-09-04T00:14:19Z

@darkguardsman That happens if any of the following are true, feel free to give me extra info if none of these are true: A: You are using a mac computer B: You have outdated drivers that can't load the version of OpenGL I use(kind of unlikely considering the version was released 10 years ago but some things never end up supporting it) C: You don't have Java / your Java version is too old

Timothy's Correctional Institute by broken-matrix 2018-09-04T17:02:51Z

@darkguardsman Interesting... I'm not really sure what the problem is. What command did you have to use? I have 1.8.0_151 but I doubt there would be any major changes between the versions. The error with the res/save.txt also is very strange because it is in the same folder as all of the textures and it is the last thing loaded, so it makes no sense that it would be able to load all the textures and models but have a problem loading the text file. I use a program called jarsplice to get all the natives and libraries into the jar quickly, so it could be possible that something about your computer doesn't like the process it uses.

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

The Vegetable Farmer by broken-matrix 2018-12-05T20:38:50Z

@mathis-bressaud What does "avec" mean?

The Vegetable Farmer by broken-matrix 2018-12-05T20:39:25Z

@derwenzl What was the problem? Do you have a newish version of Windows?

The Vegetable Farmer by broken-matrix 2018-12-10T22:05:16Z

@rumor I had someone else experience that as well, not sure what is going on... on some machines it seems to move at the right speed, and others not. To be honest, I have no idea what could be causing this. I am multiplying all movements by the time measured using std::chrono in miliseconds between frames converted into seconds ( system clock specifically ) maybe this only works on certain machines for some reason, not sure why it would though...

The Vegetable Farmer by broken-matrix 2018-12-10T22:27:23Z

@rumor I tried changing it to a different method of time measurement, would you mind downloading the "Bugs Fixed Edition" to see if the problem persists?

The Vegetable Farmer by broken-matrix 2018-12-11T03:28:40Z

@rumor Thanks for the feedback, and glad the fix worked! It's always hard to get the difficulty right... in the past I've had a few games that took 30+ min to complete if you were fast, and I was told those were too long ( note that one was on the old site so it would be hard to find for anyone reading this ). Ever since then I've tried to make them go a bit shorter, but I do agree that this was a bit too easy. I'm currently working on revising and porting my engine to C++ and I am going to re-do / update a lot of my LD games when that's ready ( I've really never updated them with anything but bug fixes, but I think it would be good experience to implement the feedback and come back to some of them after a long time ). Probably won't get back to this one anytime soon and I will probably continue work on other stuff after doing a few, then come back later so there is a decent chance that you won't remember asking to be notified when the vegetable farming gets implemented when that actually does happen!

TBFTWorLD41 by joemid 2018-04-26T03:39:32Z

lol nice, makes no sense but its cool. Is the stuff the guy is talking about procedurally generated?

Snowy by broken-matrix 2018-04-25T16:26:37Z

Thanks for rating! The grapping motion thing is kind of a bug, I'll fix it if I make a newer version.

In case anyone is wondering what the bug is: When you hold W/S it just updates the position instead of adding to the velocity, it sort of seems like nothing is wrong when you are swinging because it stills pulls you in the other direction. The problem is when you release the velocity is just the force pulling you towards the grappling point minus the rope length so if you have passed the center pivot point then you will swing backwards.

Snowy by broken-matrix 2018-05-04T02:20:17Z

Thanks! I tried to do a grappling hook thing on one of my Ludum Dare games a while ago (it was on the old site) but I couldn't get anything good so I just used other mechanics. I really like the idea of grappling hooks, and I was thinking about them from playing Terraria and Starbound so I decided to try it again in this game. Judging from the comments it seems like it turned out pretty good. I think I will work on this game again sometime soon but I just need to take a break to get fresh ideas after working on it 18 hours a day for 3 days straight. xD

Snowy by broken-matrix 2018-05-06T19:22:29Z

@Pond Loach sorry this game was made in Java and most browsers don't allow online Java applications, and even if they do the operating system firewall would most likely block it. If you can't run it, you either don't have a new enough version of Java or your drivers don't support OpenGL features I am using.

Racing Tower Defense by Flying Cat of the Pepes 2018-04-24T16:10:25Z

I guess its not that bad... the pelclok car or whatever looks kind of lik ea blueberry hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.,. k.

Rythm is Lava by egordorichev 2018-04-24T19:29:13Z

Very good game, gave it 5 on all, fun and has lots of stuff!

Poker-Man : Arcade + Poker by lavwa 2018-04-24T17:20:36Z

Good idea and good gameplay but I couldn't really see whatever was on the sides because my screen is no where near big enough...

Caribbean Trains by Aviland 2018-04-25T02:44:55Z

I don't think the fire buttons worked but the graphics are pretty cool.

Sniper and Shield by Mohamed_DKD 2018-04-29T02:35:10Z

The bullet needs to actually shoot instead of just killing whatever you click on...

Racingsaurus Text by Don Fouts 2018-05-02T22:31:24Z

Wow great, pretty hard but not impossible. Gave 5 on all.

Peculiar Adventures of Dorothy Hops by detectiveLosos 2018-04-26T23:21:26Z

Very good game!

Tetriform by magicdidac 2018-04-24T17:04:07Z

Pretty good game, the player moves a little too fast so its hard through get out of a 1x1 hole by jumping but I didn't see any other problems.

ASM Hell by vilix64 2018-04-24T19:50:03Z

This game is great, super nice, the atmosphere is great, definitely deserves 5 in most categories.

Rhythm Racer by Jcweeden 2018-04-24T19:19:14Z

Good game, the music is nice but like the other guy said its confusing when there is too much stuff to concentrate on.

Gender Circles by EkkoEkko 2018-04-27T16:04:03Z

Good game! Pretty fun.

Card Defence by Andregh 2018-04-24T19:36:28Z

Sound was annoying and once I ran out of the starting cards I never got any more and the shop didn't work...

Gorytale by zivs 2018-04-24T19:45:38Z

Pretty good, and the art was nice.
