LD21 — Escape

McPixel by Sos 2011-08-23T16:50:00

You definitely put in a lot of effort :) One of very few games (including games outside of this competition) where I had to get 100% completion.

Failed Turn-based Space Combat by roBurky 2011-08-23T16:41:00

Wow, I can see the potential... Put 20 ships of different types all fighting each other on the screen at a time like an epic Star Wars battle... although I'll admit at first I thought it was a submarine. Definitely has a lot of potential -- I've played a turn based space combat game in 3d but I think 2d would be more fun. Surprisingly fun just to fly around for a minute, but I crave to blow something up.

The Sky Is Falling by Surrealix 2011-08-23T23:54:00

Shiny! Very pretty! But for the love of all things good if you are going to make a game this hard at least give us a restart button that's easy to click, like 'R' or space. Also, my guy didn't want to run backwards. Perhaps making the jumps easier at first and then ramping up the difficulty would be nice, and a score (distance traveled) is always nice as well. Adding a story would be nice, re: Bastion.

Where's the Bathroom? by Jamin 2011-08-23T17:00:00

Ahh, different colors (basic lighting) for all four walls would have made this a lot easier to navigate. From the screenshot I had no idea that this was a maze game. But hey, you got something out. Not sure if I could win or not. On the plus side, it didn't make me motion sick like notch's.

Grappling-Hook Jones by Robbert 2011-08-24T00:00:00

Oddly fun! The hint that the boulder would kill me made me laugh. Also it looked a bit like a giant cookie, but the game crashed when I tried to eat it. I'd have liked to have seen a score (distance traveled) as well as the difficulty getting progressively harder (perhaps the terrain gets more uneven as you go on? Starting out mostly flat?) Graphics weren't bad. If you made the main character a bit cuter or gave him some personality that would add a lot to the theme of the game. i.e. a fedora. Fun game! My son also enjoyed it.

Prelude of the Chambered by Notch 2011-08-22T17:52:00

I wish I could have played through the whole thing but the old style wolfenstein graphics make me motion sick after a while :( I liked the progression through each weapon, but I didn't feel in control during the combat and it's annoying to have to restart if you die.

Go, Fish! by zamza 2011-08-23T23:46:00

Interesting concept. Took me a while to get a hang of it. I would really have liked to see the difficulty ramp up (I kept dying in 2 seconds when I was getting used to the controls.) It doesn't seem to get more difficult as it goes on. I think it could be improved with Guitar Hero like difficulty -- start with one color, then add another color every 10 seconds. Having 5 colors after a while would be intense, while still being easy enough right away to get the hang of it.

Office Escape by PaulWagener 2011-08-23T01:41:00

I like the clever use of stealth. Makes me want to watch Office Space again. I found myself 'dying' just to find out what people would say. Although I did get stuck when the crate guy backed me into the corner.

Gather 10 keys to escape by madflame991 2011-08-23T23:40:00

Repetitive. I wasn't quite sure what was going on or why. My son liked it however. More choices would have made it more fun -- I felt like I wasn't much in control.

Virtual Girl by splixel 2011-08-24T00:08:00

I loved the look of the main character! However, the background made my eyes bleed. I get the reference to the virtual boy, but ouch. The platforming was good, but my poor eyes couldn't handle it. It was really really tough though, perhaps the first door should have been easy, the second medium, the third hard, and the fourth insane? For me all of the three doors I could get in were insane difficulty. Music wasn't bad, sound effects weren't bad. Controls could have been tightened up a bit. A good start, especially for 2 days work.

Squirrel's Life by khahem 2011-08-23T02:00:00

I would've liked to have seen the ability to move up and down, high scores (even if just local) so I can compete, or even just showing the score when you die, a simple death animation (it took me a while to figure out what was killing me). On the plus side, it was really easy to figure out what the keys were. The UI was nice.

Hell Fortress Escape by hulahulahest 2011-08-24T00:32:00

If you are going to make a game that's so beautiful and has such potential, please be kind enough (especially to us reviewers) and have an easy difficulty! i.e. a lot more checkpoints or being able to try over from the same room. Frustration (due to my non-Godlike-reflexes) caused me to abandon the game when I'd rather keep playing :( Other than that, very solid! Controls were good, graphics were awesome, the Metroid style gathering of items and free-form exploration of the castle were awesome! Similar to notch's game but a lot better as it was in 2d :)

Need For Code : Escape by K1NET1K 2011-08-23T16:47:00

Yeah, next time start with boxes and work on the driving algorithm first. That said, I've tried driving algo's before and they took me a lot longer than 48 hours to get right, and that was for a tank, which is probably a lot easier. Good potential! I really wish you could run over the police (I'm a bad person) and damage the cars. Even just running over the police would have made it a lot more fun. Best of luck.

LD22 — Alone

Castaway by agersant 2011-12-19T13:52:00

I liked it. Difficult to get used to the physics, and I'm glad the games on the short side so I could see the ending :)

Someone Was Here by bushmango 2011-12-20T20:02:00

Thanks -- I was really hoping to add more of a "goal" but I had a busy weekend. Next Ludum Dare... :)

LD24 — Evolution

Dinosauria Square by chumez 2012-08-28T16:37:00

Cute game, but none of the dinos would have sex with me :(

Super Robocade by VoEC 2012-08-28T16:22:00

good game, frustratingly hard to control at first but that gives room to evolve ... the pace is a little too slow. I would have liked it better if you leveled up faster.

Life of a Worm by tomsik68 2012-08-28T16:54:00

Good start to a game!

Zombie Scientists Had Too Much Kitten by jujule 2012-08-28T16:49:00

I want to play Dwarf Fortress now.

What was going on? Loved the style! Just needs some more iteration...

Slimy Things Did Crawl by rhill 2012-08-28T16:15:00

I didn't get very far due to a lack of patience, but my son and I really liked it.

Sheep Breeder by Guardian_Bob 2012-08-28T05:30:00

Cute idea, not really all that much fun though. Would have been great to have seen it as a javascript app or similar.

... all the money I made was from my allowance...

Unnatural Selection by pereubu 2012-08-28T16:59:00

My son and I had a lot of fun playing this for a few minutes.

Wish it was a bit more rock paper scissors -- not sure what other actions you could do, but something to force people out of cover.

Cow (Game about evolution of the game) by LemonTree 2012-08-28T05:18:00

I really liked the first part where everything was made of text. You could make an awesome game entirely like that.

Good but don't use graphics from other peoples games in a LD... or even from other projects.

Evolution of a monster by eld 2012-08-28T16:29:00

Cute game, really short. I guess I thought I'd be evolving the kids so that they would help me escape. Some color would have helped tell objects apart.

EVO - X by GFM 2012-08-28T05:11:00

Kinda unplayable... would've been nicer if you had jump to start :) I was really excited that it would have been more like the old school E.V.O. Search for Eden game -- it looked like a really good start! Maybe bit off more than is possible in 48 hours...?

TreeVolve by GetFun 2012-08-28T16:43:00

Aaaah all of my workers died!

LD25 — You are the Villain

Regnant by phaze0 2012-12-18T21:20:00

Ha it took me forever to take over my first tower... this could be really fun with some work. It was so hard to read that font tho :(

Metal Minions by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2012-12-19T05:41:00

Appears malicious :( According to Chrome / Win 8

Metal Minions by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2012-12-19T05:45:00

Disregard what I said! Wrong game :/ Sorry!

Earth Destroyer by shatterhand 2012-12-19T06:10:00

Cool! Wish it was a bit more like Rampage where you just destroyed a building x% and it fell down from structural damage.

The Cards Never Lie by saguaro 2012-12-18T19:47:00

I really liked it!

The last game before the end of the world by grifdail 2012-12-18T21:07:00

Not a bad start, please tighten up the controls! They are very sloppy! Can't wait to see your next entry.

The Kidnapper by ZwodahS 2012-12-18T21:37:00

Unrunnable :( Windows 8

The Kidnapper by ZwodahS 2012-12-18T21:39:00

Turns out I needed this as well: (XNA Framework 4 Redist)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914

ECHO CHAMBER by Loren 2012-12-18T21:48:00

Cooool! How do I get more little green people in my life :) Really pretty, I especially like how the line between the people gets thicker the more you click on. Not much to do besides click, however.

Pandemic Simulator by Goz3rr 2012-12-18T21:57:00

I like how when made my disease too deadly it died off :D Wish there was more to do...

Bullet Hell Reversed by arch.jslin 2012-12-18T19:34:00

Download link is broken again :( It keeps telling me Google Drive is not available.

STOP Hero Quest by halemaster 2012-12-18T20:55:00

Awesome idea! It could be soo much fun if you improve on it. 1) UI out of the way of the map 2) indication of how many minions are in a space 3) indication of the level of the hero 4) better indication of special areas. You could make normal areas darker and special areas lighter so they pop out

Totally Unqualified Getaway Driver by kerneltrick 2012-12-18T03:19:00

Fun, lots of collision bugs and man are those cops homicidal! It's a complete game, yeay! And not ridiculously hard. I liked it! Lots of potential.

Leave My Dungeon Alone ! by Kalumis 2012-12-18T19:48:00

Pretty! Not really a lot to do though.

Lord Evil's Daring Escape by Cryovat 2012-12-18T22:10:00

Pretty, quick to play, short, LOVE IT!

Scary Chicken by Joncom 2012-12-18T20:57:00

Doesn't load on my computer :( (Windows 8)

Scary Chicken by Joncom 2012-12-18T20:59:00

Oh n/m I got it to work in internet explorer, doesn't work in Chrome / Windows 8

Scary Chicken by Joncom 2012-12-18T21:00:00

Oh n/m I got it to work in internet explorer, doesn't work in Chrome / Windows 8
Pretty! Controls could be improved... I wanted my fox to jump 2 pixels higher...

LS-MAN by LoneStranger 2012-12-19T06:00:00

I had the same idea but you actually executed it :D

Legithief by nddrylliog 2012-12-19T05:46:00

Appears malicious according to Chrome / Win 8 :( please try to fix this.

LD26 — Minimalism

INO by Nikich 2013-04-29T13:48:00

The music you used (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Hot_Fire/La_Boite_A_Sons_-_Contest_Contributions/Them_Never_Love_No_Bans_-_DnB_Mix_Germany) wasn't made by you during the competition...

Citsilaminim by AngelDE98 2013-04-29T15:36:00

Worked for me, but I kept getting stuck on walls :(

Ordinal by tompudding 2013-04-29T14:33:00

Sometimes the graphics tweak out and I can't connect outputs to inputs :( Took me a while to figure out what the goal was, but then it was fun :)

Life of Colonies by Overv 2013-04-29T14:59:00

I was doing really well until I turned red into a glider!

Block Runner by Flai 2013-04-29T15:42:00

I love that you included the editor. The game itself was WAAAY to hard for me.

Fiyahfawl by skintkingle 2013-05-01T02:31:00

Every starter thing costs too much :( It was nifty but maybe you should have started with the right starting gear? I bought the wrong thing twice and had to restart. Also it took forever to get enough money to buy anything. But I like the concept and the random weapons :)

Lab Invasion by buddhaman 2013-04-29T15:04:00

My favorite was riding the yellow platform down and then jumping off to my death.

Strategia by varun 2013-05-01T03:38:00

Very nice, although I think the later levels are easier than the early levels :)

The Parasite by jahlgren 2013-04-29T14:41:00

I liked it but man is it annoying to have to start over from the beginning every time. Cute graphics :)

Deep Freeze by Lycaon 2013-04-29T14:54:00

Who needs Don't Starve ;) -- I love games like this

Tulip by Ian MacLarty 2013-05-01T12:50:00

Perfect use of color

My Hair Is On Fire by Ofursnati 2013-04-29T14:07:00

I couldn't get to one of my buckets because it was out of the movable range :(

My Hair Is On Fire by Ofursnati 2013-04-29T14:11:00

Oh wait, that was just me trying to pick up one of the buckets in the "bucket-o-meter", lol

Too Much Loot! by CheesyRamen 2013-04-30T13:46:00

Great entry! I loved it!

Unfortunately it becomes a bit of "spreadsheet" management after a while. What if you started with only three elements for the first level, and added an element on level 2 and three... Also, if there was a way to graphically show the weaknesses/strengths of the monsters (a symbol for each color like Magic the Gathering and a number) that would speed up the game and remove a lot of tedium for me.

The Game Without Controls by methamphetabear 2013-04-30T00:00:00

Is there any way to reset it? I'd like to play again to show someone else :)

Mini Wars by cowieaaron 2013-05-01T13:57:00

Pretty!

Reach the Moon by Nanolotl 2013-05-01T03:44:00

I love a happy Angus! I loved this game!

The Law Of Ninjutsu by bushmango 2013-04-30T05:36:00

Thanks for all of your kind comments and good feedback! Yes, I'm definitely a TvTropes addict.

As for the AI, well, that's not my strong suit. As for the orbiting, think of it as the martial arts guys circling each other looking for an opening, and lots of dodging and re-positioning.

The Law Of Ninjutsu by bushmango 2013-05-04T20:05:00

@Sebastian -- we would have all liked more refinement ;) As for the differentiation, I kind of wanted the fights to feel chaotic and a little out of control

The Law Of Ninjutsu by bushmango 2013-05-04T20:05:00

For the sounds, I recorded them with my 6 year old son helping, and yeah we had a lot of fun :)

MiniMario by dem0 2013-05-01T13:48:00

This game is a good start. It would be a lot better if you had some "air control" so you could speed up/slow down mid jump. As it stands right now I spent most of the game fighting the controls.

Rad vs Blae by GetFun 2013-05-01T12:41:00

I'm always impressed by multiplayer games in LD -- I could see how this would be fun with lots of friends/people, but that's always a challenge.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Ten Second Ninja by Clurect 2013-08-26T16:30:00

Didn't work in Chrome or IE under windows 8 -- all I got was two arrows, a timer, and a message saying I died. perhaps the graphics weren't loading? can you put it up on amazon s3 or something?

SwapArcade by [-BipolarDesign+] 2013-08-27T03:10:00

I like your humor, sir.

Forever 10s by jujule 2013-08-30T20:18:00

Reminds me a lot of spy hunter -- great start!

Ridiculous Chess by Natman 2013-08-30T20:29:00

Yeay, I won against myself!

Warp Drive by Aswissrole 2013-09-16T15:39:00

Cool idea, but there's a lot of just waiting :/

Hoard Frenzy by ryan0788 2013-09-14T18:05:00

Fun game! Crashes if you buy up all of the available worker unpacking slots with flowers, lol.

Lair Raid by Parappa 2013-08-26T04:58:00

It's like 10x Progress Quest! ^.^

Thief Escape by psc1997 2013-09-14T18:52:00

I don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing :(

Mission: Save Gliese by thetheodor98 2013-08-26T16:59:00

Good once I finally got it running!

Firefly by kidder 2013-08-26T03:14:00

Whoops I got stuck in a wall. And then in another wall, so I'm not sure if there was more. I really liked the fireflies as hidden powerups thing! And the beginning was touching.

10 Seconds To Rotate by Jerimiah40 2013-08-27T01:29:00

It would be great if there was a speed up time button...

CLIMB UP!! by isharacomix 2013-08-26T03:05:00

I wish there was a button to kill your guy before 10 seconds :)

Treasure Run by The Jahn 2013-08-26T03:36:00

Thanks for the different difficulty levels. I loved how happy the main character was... nice job making clear and usable graphics that still looked great. Nice dungeon generation too!

Fight The Urge by Keith Evans 2013-08-27T20:32:00

I only wish I had more things to pee on.

Raptor Rescue by jormungandr 2013-08-27T01:41:00

Fun game but the deaths seem kinda random and I didn't want to restart the whole thing. Better to save a checkpoint everytime you get back to the ship?

Climb by Stals 2013-08-26T16:36:00

I don't understand, why does time slow down?

Hellish Copter by Laelien 2013-08-27T04:55:00

Fun but then it crashed when trying to load the ending image :( Good use of theme.

Bit-ship Ld27 By lcass by lcass 2013-08-26T02:57:00

This seems like it would be really fun if I could get it to work... could you upload a YouTube video or something explaining the basics to getting started?

A AAA Aardvark Construction Co. by DantronLesotho 2013-08-27T20:27:00

Good idea but didn't work well with 10 seconds... Would make a good puzzle game. I found the best strategy for me was to click randomly around the screen and get lucky... 1600 points!

Time Factory Escape by sxaktosxafo 2013-08-26T03:22:00

Yeah a little parallex scrolling and better contrast between the fore and backgrounds would be great. Love the concept! Please make the jumps a little easier for us mere mortals :)

Chronodrive by ekun 2013-08-27T05:04:00

Wow I really liked that, neato! And I beat casual on my last life left...

Keep Flying by bushmango 2013-08-28T23:37:00

~AUTHOR~ Thank you all for your wonderful feedback!

Because of all of the great feedback, I've released a POST COMPO edition where I fixed some GUI things, adding another few hours to my time (of course don't count that stuff in when you judge...)

A few notes:
1) Yeah, it was supposed to be overwhelming ... sort of a debug wtf is going wrong with your ship under extreme pressure.
2) There's no direct indicator of your health or oxygen, this is so you are forced to look at a console to get feedback. I wanted tension between looking at consoles and not being able to see what's going on in the rest of your ship. Tunnel vision! All consoles show your health and the ship's oxygen.

Ten Second Balls by irl 2013-08-26T16:32:00

Please provide something I can run without installing python...

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

The Valley Rule by Raiyumi 2014-05-04T07:05:00

really beautiful game. it would be better with autosaves when you get new items, and more save spots. as is i got frustrated when dying after getting something so i didn't finish :(

A Bank Heist on Christmas by Hob623 2014-04-29T03:48:00

That is an amazing pixel pope. The game was interesting, I wish I was as high when I was making my game ;)

ants by justinmchase 2014-05-03T16:43:00

really good start! reminds me of simant... ahh memories

Beneath the... hey, look, shiny things! by Yaru 2014-04-30T01:29:00

I like the name of the game.

Vertico by UltimateWalrus 2014-05-16T03:15:00

Interesting game, very innovative. I found it hard to see where I was and it was tedious to make it back to the surface though :(

The Last Beacon by Katamori 2014-04-30T00:44:00

looks great and really interesting, but the second level was really hard to control :(

Elder Sub by IndieKylo 2014-04-29T03:28:00

graphics are great, wish they could be scaled 2x tho
really good start, i'd like to see more!

Grimlock's Lair by Supernaught 2014-05-06T02:58:00

phew! beat it with 4 health

NOT THE ELEPHANT by snapman_GT 2014-04-27T23:55:00

for some reason the web version won't start for me, i tried clicking, hitting enter, mashing keys... im on windows in chrome

Octopus Simulator by jcreed 2014-04-29T03:20:00

I only found one! Cute game.

Rabbit Hole by XrXr 2014-04-29T04:31:00

i died!

Warpigs by sorceress 2014-05-15T16:52:00

I'm amazed you were able to get so much done in 48 hours! Also where is the src!

Declivity by bushmango 2014-04-29T04:22:00

@7heSAMA -- sorry, sometimes the stairs spawn in a space you can't get to. Rare, but I wasn't able to fix it in time. The cats are supposed to be delicate, the challenge is in protecting them :)

Rain Dance by Kris with a K 2014-04-30T01:05:00

my son really likes it

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Connecting LD30 to the Real World by Will Edwards 2014-09-13T14:48:00

I really felt like I left more comments than that! Can you make one for the next LD? It's great incentive to rate more games :D

Space Rails by JonathanG 2014-09-12T16:29:00

Cool idea but the rails being one-way (?) is really confusing! Most of the time my trains weren't moving. I spent most of the time fighting the interface when the game would be REALLY FUN if I could have the trains moving more predictably :)

Starving Symbiosis by Lasty 2014-08-27T22:40:00

Interesting idea!

Isra & Miraj: "A Night Journey" by grillaface 2014-08-26T03:46:00

I don't get it... but it did remind me of Monty Python

Arktrail by DaanVanYperen 2014-08-27T00:04:00

We enjoyed it, although it's a bit too much based on luck in the beginning!

Arktrail by DaanVanYperen 2014-08-27T03:12:00

I keep playing this so I had to go back and rate it even higher :)

ShiftKeeper by egor-idiot 2014-09-06T16:10:00

Beautiful!

Crossover: Fanfiction by Cosrnos 2014-08-27T01:08:00

The stories it generates are really funny! The gameplay itself needs to be enhanced though. 5 for humor!

RED Thread by NickZangus 2014-08-27T02:40:00

Really cute! Nice use of graphics. Controls could be a bit tighter.

Supernova by Robert 2014-08-27T03:00:00

What I don't get is why do my resources keep resetting to 99?

Astral Crossroads by zdonkeyx 2014-08-28T17:12:00

Beautiful! So smooth.

Harmony by LeftRight92 2014-09-02T01:30:00

Good idea. I wish I could see the planets zone of influence and the small white text on the black and white background was really hard for me to read.

Spy On Me by Fahmi 2014-09-14T15:39:00

Kinda like some board games I've played. Maybe a bit too easy? I'd like to see more branching paths.

Smart Home by Garrett Hoofman 2014-09-02T01:04:00

I like it but there's too much just waiting around. If you did add more people that would help :)

Triple Threat by bORAT 2014-08-27T21:37:00

I'd like to implement this as a multiplayer game! Interested in working together? Also see my entry :D
bushmango@gmail.com

Disconnect by banana4life 2014-08-26T01:59:00

Interesting idea. Somewhat glitchy and hard to figure out the controls at first. Could be a pretty cool game if you kept working on it. Thanks for the walkthru :)

Meteor Merchant by Freudian 2014-08-27T22:21:00

How much of the assets were created from scratch and how much was included in RPG maker? It's hard to rate without more info on what you created. Congrats on a good product though.

Fire ze Missiles! by bushmango 2014-08-27T01:41:00

Thanks everyone for the great feedback. About 40% of my time was spent just getting the web server up and running (it was my first time running node... not a good decision for a jam) and I'm glad it all came together at the last minute and is playable :D

Fire ze Missiles! by bushmango 2014-09-02T14:02:00

@adharris Every missile randomly strikes a asquare. I wanted a balance between focusing on economy and producing more missiles and just getting one missile out and hoping for that 1% chance :) I also wanted there to always be a chance for the "underdog" to win.

The Fall of Man by FacticiusVir 2014-08-27T02:33:00

Please expand on this idea :)

Aurum by Ralkarin 2014-08-27T02:02:00

sad it isn't working for me :(

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

O-Inari Origami by Solifuge 2014-12-10T03:58:00

Your game is beautiful, brilliant, and includes a level editor!? Can I work with you guys next time?!

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons! I responded:

>> Wow, what a brilliant game, with such a well-defined and fun mood! I managed to get all of the crystals except that one in the middle-bottom of the screen... I think you have to step on little patches of snow or something, but I couldn't figure out at all which path I was supposed to take and ended up getting stuck :< If I didn't have so many other games I need to rate I'd honestly go and play your 1.01 version just to get to the end. Thank you for the game!

@Victory Garden -- don't feel bad, that one is really hard! It's part of the reason the game has extra crystals so you don't have to get them all ^.^ the 1.01 version has some extra hints as to the solution to that one, although I'm sure you would have figured it out if you weren't so good at rating games :D You are most welcome, I make games mostly to bring happiness.

Batz by recursor 2014-12-10T02:11:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

Great sound effects ^.^ This is really well put-together, especially for the amount of time you put in. It's like a great version of balloon hunter. Maybe an easy version with bigger collision circles? Also the bugs would tease me by flying off the screen! Love it.

Tower Trasher by graebor 2014-12-08T23:56:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!
Re: to be fair, you should expect some lava to attack you if you sleep next to a volcano... but I've taken your feedback and made a bit easier and less frustrating 1.01 version with some other bug fixes included.

I liked your game, it gave me a nice little RTS fix. It can be hard to navigate around the map though -- my own guys kept getting in the way or they seemed to get stuck on stuff. Maybe a population cap would help as well as force you to move your guys out to attack?

Galactyc Budget Flights by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2014-12-12T18:42:00

good idea but it's kind of tedius

Dads Gold by Crushenator 2014-12-10T02:26:00

Wow, this is an awesome concept! My son and I race. I happily won.

ld31_Arena_Battler by Lasty 2014-12-09T01:48:00

very satisfying. please increase the contrast between the backround and foreground though -- i suggest a darker and more plain background for the arena

$2000-$3fff by ianh 2014-12-09T02:12:00

Bloody brilliant. Gave me an excuse to show my kiddo what computers were like back in my day.

Dodgy Screen by Mixer 2014-12-09T00:46:00

Interesting gameplay but the controls aren't very tight and I kept getting stuck on things. If you make the controls a bit better and make some easier beginning levels for newbs like me this could be a great game!

Quintuple Dimension Room by Recursiveanomaly 2014-12-09T00:30:00

Similar theme to my game, Four Seasons. Great minds think alike :) Reminds me a bit of Zelda: A Link to the Past with how dark world works.

SnowCard by mrexcessive 2014-12-12T23:15:00

Once you figure out how to play it, this game becomes kind of repetitive.

Save the Giant by drkrunk 2014-12-18T18:02:00

Looks great but the jumping controls are pretty awful. That and the enemies push you all the way to the ground. Check out Super Meat Boy for some ideas on how to make a well-controlled character.
I like the Shadow of the Colossus feel.

Pyramid of death by KedumeBits 2014-12-13T17:11:00

Fun to play :)

Screen Space: 0 by noahm 2014-12-12T18:35:00

interesting concept

Pixplorer by Nega Drive 2014-12-11T23:44:00

I like the zoom idea, but zoomed in shows too little and zoomed out is too small :/ Graphics are nice. How big is your team? Credits? Tighten up the controls and this game will be great ^.^

Desk Top! by Ossi 2014-12-09T01:06:00

Thanks for rating my game, Four Seasons!

I really loved this, especially the graphics and the little puns. I felt bad throwing away Ludum Dare 31 though! Loved it.

King of the Castle by adamwfindlay 2014-12-12T18:33:00

Cool game! My controls got really laggy for some reason after a while. I love the art direction.

Derelict by Justin Mullin 2014-12-12T18:19:00

Very creepy! 5/5 for mood for sure

You Have the Con by OccamsRazor 2014-12-17T01:10:00

So much fun, I love games like this.

Screened by hexagore 2014-12-10T02:37:00

Thanks for rating my game, Four Seasons!

Great concept, very pretty! I like the subtle use of hte circles in the background. Really punishing though, I couldn't get used to the loose controls. I'm really happy to see that WebGL games can be this good! :D

A Link Between Screens by trykondev 2014-12-10T03:14:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons.

Clever concept! Please expand on this. With some polish and more puzzles and some easier levels this will be great. I played it all the way to the finish.

The Eternal Bee by palmar 2014-12-09T00:16:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

Really good mood, just wish there was more gameplay. It's like SPACE DESERT BUS (DESERT BEE?)

Elendow Dungeon by Elendow 2014-12-09T01:00:00

Looks good but it's too dark, hard on my poor old eyes. I also vote yes to mouse for shooting.
Really great start to a really moody dungeon game

DisChord by Grindstorm 2014-12-10T03:28:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons.

I really enjoyed your puzzle game. My son and I are competing to see how far we can get. I really like the well-paced puzzle introduction and difficulty curve.

I responded to your comment:
>> Interesting game! I didn't get the idea of the four seasons though :/

With

@Grindstorm the islands switch between spring, summer, fall, and winter. I guess that really only makes sense in temperate zones like the Midwest U.S.A. where we live though.... hmmm.

PixelSim by Ozcr 2014-12-09T01:30:00

i love construction games.

is there a challenge? any conflict?

please give us more starting money so the start isn't so slow, kthxbye

Call Center Sim by nuiguy 2014-12-09T01:26:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasouns!

This was more fun than I thought it would be considering the title :D The only thing I can think to improve is to make the phone ring faster.

Oceanite by Yazara 2014-12-10T03:37:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

I liked your came. Unfortunately I found myself looking more at the colors on the sides than at my fish. (Not sure if this was intended or not). I really liked how the fish followed the cursor. Full marks for Mood!

Overworlord by max_peabody 2014-12-09T01:35:00

Looks like fun but my tooltips keep disappearing which makes it hard. Can you try to fix that please? :D

Teeny Tiny Little Ball by FerraWare 2014-12-09T00:04:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

I got stuck at the ball police -- I think I killed them too quickly. :(

I like the simple controls and concept.

RoboHunger by bofink 2014-12-09T00:11:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

Good start, it's pretty but it needs more gameplay. Wish I had your 3d animating skills :)

RIZUMUDEKATTO by EquipeJAM 2014-12-09T00:41:00

Thanks for rating my game, Four Seasons!

This is the first rhythm game I've seen in a LD, I liked it, although I did pretty well with just button mashing. I'm impressed you were able to add gamepad support.

Soul Sleep by Technomancer Game Studio 2014-12-10T02:38:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

Unfortunately your website is down while I write this comment so I can't play your game :( I'll try again later.

Hello, Brazil! My girlfriend is there right now studying as formigas. I hope to visit again soon!

Valley of Trolls by johannesl 2014-12-10T03:05:00

My son and I played this for a long time and really enjoyed it!

Eternal War by goodbadokay 2014-12-11T23:36:00

The graphics are nice, I like the idea of the game inside the box. I would like to see more gameplay, though.

Ludum Bark Beams by CullenCoyote 2014-12-10T02:44:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

I shoudn't like your game, because yours is about a dog and mine is about a cat, but I really do like it! I love how the screen slowly zooms out. I'd love to see more variation to the map as it zooms out though. Great sounds.

Dock and Cover by LimeniusTeam 2014-12-09T01:12:00

Thanks for commenting on my game, Four Seasons!

Level 3 really spiked up the difficulty. Please good game developers, can we have a level 2.5 that has a slower moving space station? :D

Four Seasons by bushmango 2014-12-08T23:59:00

@graebor & @DaniDK thanks for your feedback -- I've fixed some bugs and tweaked the map so the water doesn't sneak up on you like it did, that was a bit unfair. I also tightened the controls and improved the collision detection so it feels more fair

Four Seasons by bushmango 2014-12-09T00:12:00

@monkid -- did you try the web link? if you tried the download it's probably Mac OS X gatekeeper getting in the way :(

Four Seasons by bushmango 2014-12-09T01:27:00

@Nuiguy, don't worry, your kitty doesn't drown! Your kitty just jumps really high back to the spawn location

Four Seasons by bushmango 2014-12-10T02:46:00

@Grindstorm the islands switch between spring, summer, fall, and winter. I guess that really only makes sense in temperate zones like the Midwest U.S.A. where we live though.... hmmm.

Orion by feiss 2014-12-12T18:04:00

Do a barrel roll fox!!! Hint. You can't do a barrel roll. I tried.

This game is fantastic! I would love to see a bigger version of this game where you have to control all the little knobs and switches. It's deeply satisfying to me.

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Balloon Cat by TheFudster 2015-12-14T06:28:00

Very cute art, very hard to control!

Spirit-uality by SgtBursk 2015-12-14T05:43:00

I'm not entirely sure what happened but I won?

Squishy the Turtle by cppchriscpp 2015-12-14T05:12:00

Cute gameboy style.

Very Hungry SNAKE by boddiul 2015-12-14T05:30:00

I EAT EVERYTHING!

Plants Attack by Luxorix 2015-12-14T06:10:00

Great art. Wish your guy could move faster.

Sea Cucumber Runner 2D by takemikazuchi545 2015-12-14T05:25:00

Super cute main character and song, but waaaay to hard.

Give and Take by Move127 2015-12-16T04:15:00

Cool! Sorry about your village, a volcano was needed there...

Tile Risers by et1337 2015-12-14T06:12:00

Wait, what am I supposed to be doing?

Floppy Frog by walaber 2015-12-16T04:18:00

You know that you are evil, right? :) Love it.

grow by shaulor 2015-12-14T04:58:00

Boy those controls are awkward, but I blame the theme ^.^ Cute graphics. I would have liked if your guy could go faster.

grow by shaulor 2015-12-14T06:05:00

Whoops I rated the wrong game initially, got confused, sorry. I like these games! There was a lot of waiting though, then a lot of clicking. Still addicting.

Xtreme Crop Duster Simulator '82 by rjhelms 2015-12-14T05:04:00

DO A BARREL ROLL FOX! Cute. You can do some sweet tricks.

Space Elf by Farfin 2015-12-14T03:35:00

Great graphics. Good sound. I love that there are two paths. Would love to see more.

Grow by Dimitri0xFF 2015-12-14T03:26:00

Why are the lice eating my beautiful plant?!

The Drunken Executioner by karlipoppins 2015-12-14T05:35:00

I like how you added the bonuses to make each level different.

Seeds of Sky by Nanolotl 2015-12-14T06:23:00

I liked figuring out what the seeds do. Really easy to get trapped though.

Nine till Void by Ben Allen 2015-12-15T01:07:00

This would be awesome on a tablet or phone I think. The manual made it more fun for me :) I'm trying to think of a way to make it easier for mere mortals without the manual, but maybe that would ruin the fun. Smaller starting levels and you have to unlock harder items?

Potatiana Jones by Ildfuglen 2015-12-16T02:22:00

Fun! Easy to get stuck though.

Grow The Hole by Elit3dGaming 2015-12-15T00:28:00

it is too slow when you grow up, but the game is fun

TrainWrecker by Kryptarchy 2015-12-15T00:53:00

It took me a while to figure out that your TRAIN IS MOVING! (There's no reference to see that it's moving) Very cool once I figured it out. Those squares are jerks.

SpaceGrown -- Grow your own space station! (TM) by bushmango 2015-12-14T20:15:00

@SgtBursk - the conduits add myyyyssstteeerrryyyyy ooooooooooooo

SpaceGrown -- Grow your own space station! (TM) by bushmango 2015-12-23T17:00:00

Pro tip: Clippy is "summoned" by your distress beacon. Unbuild your distress beacon if you won't want him to come "help" you :)

Colony by Dust Cloud 2015-12-14T04:55:00

I like the idea but there's too much waiting in the beginning. Maybe make the first few goals a bit quicker to help me get addicted?

Are you grown? by Rfdshir 2015-12-14T03:44:00

Consensus here is that it's super cool. How did you make the images? Actual pictures of a clay model?

Fuzzy The Bouncing Ball by InfinitySquaredGames 2015-12-15T01:26:00

I got stuck in the wall and my little ball was not happy. Very cute game. I liked playing in the water.

Omega Llama! by yumaikas 2015-12-14T05:40:00

Cute llama. What does the rope do?

Bankk! Be a Better Bank by ptkfs 2015-12-14T06:34:00

It's like looking at a shiny power point! I just approved everyone's request. Not sure if my bank is good or not.

Not Enough Space by batmanasb 2015-12-14T05:22:00

Cool idea, I wish it were easier to make the ships explode and fly apart :) Also wish they went faster.

Rescue Longboat by Astusvis 2015-12-14T03:23:00

Nice use of the two button theme

Never Ending Balloon Bank by rockybdubs 2015-12-14T05:06:00

balllooooooons!

The Pits of Mazow by Azor1 2015-12-14T06:07:00

Boy those controls are awkward, but I blame the theme ^.^ Cute graphics. I would have liked if your guy could go faster.

Decay Dynamics by NotoriousFlex 2015-12-15T01:17:00

Really fun. We played a lot of games. I would have liked to see a deeper strategy though :)

Dandelion by ProgramGamer 2015-12-14T04:54:00

Nifty graphics. I get that the leaves give you more resources but I couldn't figure out what else to do. What are the fruits for?

LD35 — Shapeshift

The Amazon and the Cybergod (UNFINISHED) by Katamori 2016-04-18T03:24:00

This totally encapsulates my feelings about my concept going into the game (the great sketch image you made and the world you have in your head) and what one is actually able to get accomplished in two days.

Project G.R.I.L.L. by vctr_seleucos 2016-04-22T15:53:00

Good start to the game. I'd like to see your main dude walk faster and maybe have a dodge roll? It's really hard to kill the robots without taking damage because their range is longer.

Scrapmetalship by Four Quarters 2016-05-05T04:20:00

Really cool idea, the post LD was fun, wish there were more ships to destroy or that you could sell/rearrange parts. The original was too slow but you fixed that.

Can't Drive This - #cantdrivethis by pixel_maniacs 2016-04-19T02:01:00

My son and I loved this and played for a really long time!

Pizza This by Six9ty 2016-05-05T03:11:00

Is there a score or anything? Can you explain this a bit more?

Morphris by bushmango 2016-04-27T20:56:00

@justacookie Yeah, I added the save your butt blocks fall into space feature after you complete a block to make it a bit easier. As long as you can make at least one line you have a chance to come back!

Slime Mold Revenge by Benjamin-L 2016-04-19T14:27:00

Good graphics, fun idea, like most LD games it could use a bit of polish.

ShapeShepherd by liva 2016-05-05T02:50:00

Aww. I wanted more levels! Cool idea and I like the graphic style.

Shapeshifting Blobs by Spud 2016-04-18T23:14:00

really fun but it stopped working in the middle of a good game.

ColorShift by Corinator 2016-05-04T16:47:00

Unfortunately my work computer is not good enough to play this :( will try again at home

LD36 — Ancient Technology

War party by Rogue Sprite 2016-08-30T05:20:00

Fun! Not really challenging though and my knights kept getting in my way so I couldn't move. Still, so satisfying to watch them fight.

Crash Landing by authorblues 2016-08-30T17:57:00

Fun but I got stuck once I could double jump

Full Steam by tompudding 2016-08-31T23:06:00

I enjoyed this very much! A map would be the only thing I could think of to help make decisions.

Kukulkan's Phantom by CMangas 2016-08-30T20:21:00

Awesome game! I really liked the puzzles and the ending

Pocket Worlds by systencegames 2016-08-30T18:12:00

It kept getting stuck but it looked like a fun game

Tower of Egypt by DespiteSoft 2016-08-30T17:04:00

I also Enjoyed smashing the guy with the whip, fun game!

Escape From Earth by Stending 2016-08-31T23:21:00

Haha I liked the game within the game mechanic. Well done but thought there would be more.

Fix It by Cawrtz 2016-08-30T17:43:00

Realy fun game

Ancient Kingdoms by tGiant 2016-08-30T21:15:00

The game is fun and I accidentally destroyed my own catapult

Fort Deep Search by Wevel 2016-08-30T17:03:00

Enjoyable, but my poor builders kept getting stuck and I couldn't progress!

Ancient builder by Morax 2016-08-30T18:05:00

I accidentally deconstructed the thing I was Going to build!

Kungo by kingpirux 2016-08-30T15:35:00

can I have some tips to help figure it out

Four by Rudenko 2016-08-30T21:02:00

Fun game! I had a good time playing it.

The Machine by jeremyfa 2016-08-30T14:47:00

It is a good game and I like the story.

Solar by suimisu 2016-08-31T23:25:00

Interesting idea that I'd like to see expanded. With some easier levels for us simple folk :)

Crazy Catapult by conrad123 2016-08-30T16:48:00

really fun game! My best was 77

Train your Turtle by bushmango 2016-08-30T19:55:00

@Wevel -- the turtle does just do random things until you train it. Training is... hard to explain. Ideally there would be a long tutorial to introduce the training concepts but I haven't yet figured that out yet. Basically there's a bunch of weights for what the turtle can do after a command, and reinforcing the correct behavior makes it more likely to do that next time. Repeat this many times and your turtle will do exactly what you expect, most of the time, if you trained it correctly! :)

Heat Up! by PanicTheFirst 2016-08-30T16:34:00

fun game!

farm defence by yoel1234 2016-08-30T16:50:00

fun game!

Tappy Catapult by Mordokay 2016-08-30T17:27:00

Fun catapult game!

Aqueductus by wheerd 2016-08-30T21:41:00

I like the game but I got Stuck on crowded.
