Grow My Thing by ChronoDK 2015-04-20T12:45:00
I like the way you can rest "it" on the platform to get a horizontal shoot angle, and the Noby Noby-style grow mechanic. An interesting (if a little disturbing) game.

Very nice game. I did not immediately see the recharge thing on my back, or understand that it was a time gun - but once I had got a grip on it, I really enjoyed it. But there did not seem to be any music or SFX?
Very cool game - quite challenging, full of inspiring feedback when you die, and has a fun and different central mechanic.
That was really interesting. It's easy to get something like that wrong, but that was very well executed and made the point in an effective, but engaging, way.
I really like the probe mechanic (and the opportunity to write that sentence), along with the feeling of having to discover what everything does yourself. Kudos also on the fact no text is used at all. It can be confusing at first, but I urge everyone to continue trying to find out what it all means and complete it!
It's a bit confusing to start with and could do with some more SFX and feedback on what is happening. Once I got the aiming sorted I was able to make a little progress - an interesting game.
Some lovely and funny ideas, and the graphics and music set it off nicely. Gameplay is a bit limited, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Fantastic - way beyond anything I would expect from this kind of competition. Great music, effects, graphics, a solid gameplay mechanic with depth - brilliant little game.
The car seems to steer itself sometimes, which is a bit odd. I like the music track. I was able to get past one level, but after that the self-steering car seems to be sabotaging me too often...
There seems to be a good idea in here, but at the moment it's just too hard to get into as a new player - it really needs some of these instructions displayed in the game itself. And it certainly is very picky on syntax! Great concept though, and it is satisfying to see the drone execute your commands. I really wanted to reprogram it on the fly...
Really fun game, and very polished. Love the recoil on the gun, and all the SFX.
Brilliant - you can't beat the very first time you use the flute, whilst stood perfectly still. The sound effect nails it!
Great game, very well rounded and a nice play on the theme.
I like the art, you clearly have some skill with modelling. I found the game itself tricky to understand and play. But a good first entry!
Nice mechanic, took me a little while to work it out. I could not get past level 3, but enjoyed trying over and over.
That was surprisingly addictive! I think I completed it; it seemed to fail to find a level 5. The gameplay is solid, not sure about the art though...
Great game - unique mechanics, a good challenge, and I love the risk/reward idea of choosing whether to go on to the next level or redo the previous one in order to try and preserve more health. Lovely stuff.
It's a nice little game, but I wanted some more of it! Cool mechanic, lovely particles and I like the general dark, cyber-crypty mood.
I found it quite hard to control with the mouse and a bit confusing in general. For a first effort though - it is a complete and rounded game, so well done. And nice particles effects.
Great game - hits all the right notes, a very complete package!
Cool little game, the monster character is great. And love the fact that there is a collection! That's a brilliant feature!
Nice graphics and general atmosphere. Controls + HUD a little confusing.
Interesting premise - I like the different stages to the game. I would recommend separating the backstory notes from the control instructions, though - it makes it harder to see exactly how you are meant to play at the very start.
Lots of charm - nice music and credits song! Game could maybe do with a bit more going on...
Could do with some editing - but it was pretty engaging stuff, good job.
Sorry about the bad Windows link! It's fixed now.
279,990 - Wave 9. Got beaten by the Dhali Bomber.
Best entry I have played thus far. So much content! Great powerups too.
Only thing it is lacking is some music!
Hard game! But a good entry. I like the simple icons and music. Easy to get into. Nice work.
It can get a bit confusing with all the bullets being the same colour...But I like the way they ricochet around. Nice graphics too.
This game was worthy of a better name! But a fine job nonetheless.
Good stuff. I like the fact that, unlike most tower defence style games, I can actually get involved and kill things myself too.
This is literally my favourite Ludum Dare game ever. There I said it.
Nice game - I found it pretty hard!
Nice idea - I think I completed it, but I wasn't quite sure though...
Camera control is a little difficult, but I like the cartoony look and you've done a good job with the throwing.
Cool game. Spike traps are a nightmare, though! I liked the use of different mechanics and bite-sized sections.
It's a cool idea, but perhaps a little too easy to win seeing as it is always the best strategy to grow as fast as possible and just absorb the attacks. But it's original and interesting.
Nice game! Quite addictive.
I enjoyed this - the music is great, it has a lovely chilled atmosphere, and I didn't suck at it!
I was a bit confused to start with, but it's a good concept.
Really solid entry. A little slow to get going, but fun and challenging.
Brilliant little twist on an existing game - really nicely done. I played this for quite a while!
Intro cutscene was crazy long! But it was all pretty good stuff. Funny concept, and a solid game.
Nice idea - really simple, but clever and fun to play.
Nice entry - I wasn't very good at it, but enjoyed it nonetheless!
I hate the Royal Poet! But, demanding artists aside, great game. It is revoltingly polished and feature rich.
Solid entry, might have been nice if the collision detection was a little sharper.
