LD21 — Escape

Esca by tnelsond 2011-08-25T10:11:00

That was some entertainment tnelsond thanks! :-)

Escausage by jplur 2011-08-29T11:16:00

Excellent work! I like original off the wall ideas and you pulled it off! :-)

Flee Buster by ChevyRay 2011-08-25T05:21:00

Nice one! I liked the mixing of the 3 games! I had the same idea but with just 2 and a bit differently while writing my entry (its not an arcade game).

Lost Psyche by NeiloGD 2011-09-02T06:17:00

Primitive and abstract. I liked it but most people would expect more. I know a VJ Toy when I see one! Nice effort. :-)

Escape from the Wolf Castle by Petzi 2011-09-08T10:11:00

Was pretty bizarre, I did get the fighting system and did feel it was kinda uncomfortable. I like off the wall

Reach For It by Noel Berry 2011-08-29T08:11:00

This is Awesome, great work! :-)

Endless Castle by Blackduck 2011-08-29T11:27:00

I liked it. Original and off the wall, kinda short but a game none the less.

Volcanowned! by Frimkron 2011-08-31T09:04:00

Nice work! Bit hard! :-)

Ceaseless by the31 2011-08-29T11:23:00

:-)

Escape of the AMAZING TRIANGLE by zdanielz 2011-09-03T03:53:00

I really enjoyed it, nice, vectorisque, simple, to the point (line?) :-) Thanks!

North Korean Escape by billknye 2011-08-30T06:52:00

Hahahahah. Short, simple, sweet and funny! :-)

Beam Runner by Geti 2011-08-29T13:49:00

Fun little game :-)

Planetary Mission by NMcCoy 2011-09-05T21:53:00

Found this kind of addictive and enjoyed finishing it! Nice work, had a completed feel about it! :-)

Flight of the Cobra by Dan C 2011-09-08T10:20:00

Pity it wasn't complete, was enough to have fun mindlessly blasting stuff for a while though. :-)

The Bachelor's Escape by Yoni 2011-09-08T09:59:00

I agree about the pac man feel, its like the power pill and munch ghosts vibe. Pretty off the wall, I like it! :-)

Escaparazzi by Felipe Budinich 2011-08-31T01:08:00

I liked it! Well done! :-)

Pastagus Fantasy by Shifty 2011-09-08T10:17:00

Odd, abstract and weird. I like it! Though it didn't hold my attention for too long! Nice effort! :-)

Rainbow Jail by Benjamin 2011-08-29T08:05:00

Nice arcade feel. Good work! :-)

The Man Who Sold The World by krangGAMES 2011-09-05T22:38:00

Well rounded work. Enjoyed the aesthetic and music. Simple but effective game. :-)

Poltergeist by Gib 2011-09-05T22:41:00

Gotta be the scariest entry yet! :-)

Bunnies, Back Into Your Cage! by ratking 2011-09-05T22:24:00

I liked this. Nice work. Simple, well rounded and unique. Did find the picking up and dropping didn't seem to flow as well as it could. Enough of an idea to expand as well at a later date if you choose too.

:-)

A Warrior's Forest by thirdtruck 2011-08-29T11:01:00

Nice to see another graphical adventure entry with music. :-)

Slip Away by cambrian_era 2011-09-05T22:15:00

Nice work, felt complete. The mechanic functions well and you might want to expand on the idea some time. Got the vibe of the old shadow of the beast from the dark aesthetic.

:-)

/ ESCAPE \ by schonstal 2011-08-23T10:13:00

That rocked! :-)

Unlock by uuav 2011-09-03T21:08:00

Nice work. Liked the chunky graphics and T.V. static effect. Music was good. Well done! :-)

Escape Lines by henrypenface 2011-09-02T00:59:00

I liked it! Was a bit on the slow side but still fun none the less. :-)

Jailed by the Ministry of Project Management by tcstyle 2011-09-03T04:09:00

I enjoy playing this. Pretty basic but definitely likeable.

Dragon's Bloodmoney by neosam 2011-09-02T00:50:00

Quite amusing. Looks like ya had fun making it. :-)

Cosmic Heist by Kevin Wells 2011-08-30T20:21:00

Very well rounded and polished. Obviously some solid work up front on your own code base. One of the best entries in the 2d shooter department I have seen so far. :-)

Go, Fish! by zamza 2011-09-05T22:28:00

Pity there was no audio. Pretty solid little core idea and game. Looked like a nice old arcade machine with Galaxian styled colors. :-)

Vector Dash by black_mage_andy 2011-08-25T11:28:00

Reminds me of Gravitron. :-) Nice work.

Psychosisfree by hellsuggestionbox 2011-08-30T20:13:00

Good work, pretty twisted. Primitive but effective and rather dark. Well done! :-)

Ernest the Plump Adventurer (in trouble) by agersant 2011-08-29T11:08:00

Polished entry :-)

Prison Escape by SoThatsIt 2011-08-29T10:54:00

Nice first shot! :-)

EscApe by JohanAR 2011-08-30T19:53:00

Well I never did escape!

But well I like weird, I like "I don't get this". This is abstract enough for me to play and have some kind of reaction too. I can see its unfinished but well isn't that the point of the 48?

It's never gonna be finished you just put a lid on it!

Technically I could see the game mechanics worked with background and foreground, smooth frame rate, etc...

Source code as well so thanks Johan!

:-)

Something embarrassingly bad by madmaw 2011-09-04T21:22:00

Tried it in Firefox. Maybe I didn't get it but couldn't get much to happen. :-)

Virtual Girl by splixel 2011-08-30T07:02:00

Good solid work! :-)

Mate Escape (LD) by alexandervrs 2011-09-08T12:05:00

Well rounded and fun! :-)

The Great Unescape by geckojsc 2011-08-31T00:59:00

One of my favorites so far. Top work all the way! :-)

Antagonist by Jonathan Whiting 2011-08-29T10:33:00

I enjoyed this. :-)

Ninja Princess by bcoxie 2011-08-29T10:39:00

Primitive and Entertaining. :-) I enjoyed it! Well done!

Slimes! by tgijsola 2011-09-08T08:10:00

Simple fun and cute idea! :-)

EscApe by marudziik 2011-09-04T21:34:00

I enjoyed it. Nicework. :-)

Lasertrap by MadrMan 2011-08-30T20:05:00

Did find it a bit frustrating at points. Agree with the idea of save points. Nice work! :-)

Stratus by RichMakeGame 2011-09-08T09:04:00

Impressive! Good effort! I liked it! :-)

Hollow by Connor 2011-08-29T10:47:00

Totally dug it! You should make a full version and sell it. Fun game :-)

Crime Zone by thecatamites 2011-08-31T09:12:00

Enjoyed it! Was a bit abstract in parts, but that's ok by me! :-)

Escape - Forest 2012 by Chaoslab 2011-08-23T03:19:00

This is meant to be a 48 hour entry, it was completed and uploaded within the 48 hours, just didn't create this entry (my bad).

Escape - Forest 2012 by Chaoslab 2011-08-24T01:06:00

Just a quick update. Working on a post competition version with corrections to content and media. Will contain a Macintosh run script (the game runs fine on Macintosh from the command line) and also a Linux version. Be gentle on the virgins! :-)

Escape - Forest 2012 by Chaoslab 2011-08-25T04:15:00

If the music is not working you may not have JMF installed correctly just java? The MP3's are in the media/audio.

Was my first ever time entering the challenge. Sorry is some of the content / humor is a bit obscure thristhart. Lots of messages and things to friends and stuff e.g. Hot Latte made by Jeddly, Muzzy's Leatherma, etc.... Some MMO humor in there as well.

Thanks for the feed back.

Escape - Forest 2012 by Chaoslab 2011-08-31T01:40:00

Update:
There seems to be an issue with Linux not receiving Mouse Input and I am building a Damn Small Linux box to test it.

Version 1.223 is looking good with various spelling fixes and a few bugs squashed.

Remixing the music a bit and will shorten it, looking into Ogg Vorbis so JMF is not required for music play back and will package it with the release.

When its all ready I will uploaded it and add a link at the bottom of my entry page to the post competition version.

Escape - Forest 2012 by Chaoslab 2011-09-07T05:28:00

Thanks for the feed back! Yeah, in retrospec 30m of music and .png over .jpg weren't the best decisions. :-)

Escape - Forest 2012 by Chaoslab 2011-09-13T07:43:00

Now that the competition is complete I would like to once again thank everyone. Did get a Ubuntu (Linux) Box built and working on getting a solid framework for Linux and iOS so I can do a 3 platform release next time.

Now its all done I am working on the next project work title - Quantum Want.

Certainly influenced by my Ludum Dare #21 entry. Don't wanna give away too much but it will be more off the wall humor and hand drawn art touched up digitally and music.

Contemplating raffling some of original art works for a low price ($5-15 dollars each + Postage) and maybe limit the larger pieces to people that have completed the game. Figured it might be a nice way to connect and share a bit of the game with people in not just a physical form.

:-)

Cubicle Escape by tordre 2011-09-08T10:35:00

I enjoyed it, primitive but well it is the 48 hour after all. Good effort! :-)

Goat Milk by stoz 2011-09-02T01:29:00

Nice work. Very polished.

Mangore by Fountain 2011-09-08T10:26:00

Couldn't really get it to work in firefox or I didn't get it. pressing the keys didn't seem to do anything and then it kinda crashed. Tried refreshing but it that didn't help.

Escape The Void by NaturallyMade 2011-08-29T11:04:00

Fun simple and enjoyable. Nice entry :-)

The Escape of the White Square by Geroro 2011-08-29T07:49:00

Simple, fun and effective :-)

Skank by skankparty2 2011-08-29T11:29:00

I always like a nice cup of WTF! :-)

Extreme Beatboxing Bird Jailbreak by Cosine 2011-09-08T10:52:00

Nice entry, really enjoyed it. Another favorites to add to the list. Thanks! :-)

Routine by nitram_cero 2011-08-29T10:15:00

I liked this! nice and out there! :-)

LD22 — Alone

The Lonely Alien by Chaoslab 2011-12-27T00:16:00

Thank you so much for the comments.

Been in chilling round the Xmas break but will work on an updated version once the break is over and improve the text rendering.

:-)

The Lonely Alien by Chaoslab 2012-01-05T05:23:00

@Sargoat, The Game requires Java run, do you have Java installed?

@Caraha & Yoman, Feed back noted and will improve the text. Will also force the Inventory Items Selected list to be always be open.

The Linux Version is coming and along just working out the last bugs of my Application Base.

When all those changes and fixes are done I will post a link to the improved post competition version.

Best Friend by TestSubject06 2011-12-21T03:53:00

I enjoyed that, matched well to the theme.

LD24 — Evolution

Universe Exploder by Chaoslab 2012-08-31T04:09:00

jprogman:
Dam, I thought HD would all good, sorry about that the previous 1024 x 768.

wlad:
There is nothing bad about the game go for it, I will rate some more games.

Mac Users:
I have noticed that the Music does not seem to run on the Mac.

Universe Exploder by Chaoslab 2012-09-16T02:40:00

I have been meaning to do more ratings, sorry about that lots of unplanned things. Rated about 80 games for LD #21 and about 40 for LD #22.

Didn't manage to complete LD #23 due to food poisoning and chilled out after that (can be a downer not finishing).

So was happy to just finish LD #24.

Thanks for the comment.

:-)

Universe Exploder by Chaoslab 2012-09-18T07:01:00

Thanks, not special enough to make it tho.

Universe Exploder by Chaoslab 2016-04-22T03:53:00

Was a fun project none the less and probably one of the most off the wall games I have ever made.

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Onanigan by alvivar 2014-08-31T06:21:00

Enjoyed completing the first level, like others found the under hangs and controls a bit tricky. Nice we game regardless! :-)

Nexxuz by rustybroomhandle 2014-08-27T23:07:00

Well done! That was some fun. Zaxxon inspired shooter!

Nice well rounded entry.

(Hey who cares if you could not fly into anything on the ground. Zaxxon was rather difficult)

Parallel Worlds by jprogman 2014-08-27T00:04:00

I did not complete it. Was fun, well done! :-)

Parallel Thinking by Latcarf 2014-08-27T23:22:00

Seemed to freeze on death and I would have to restart the application.

The Farthest Possible Place by disease 2014-08-28T03:27:00

Pew! Pew! Pew! :-)

That was fun! Pew pew pew pew! Nice sounds! :-)

Dreamonaut by hbocao 2014-08-31T06:07:00

Took me a few moments to twig onto the invisible bullets the player fires. Well rounded entry, enjoyed finishing it! :-)

Looking For You by Fülo 2014-08-29T05:43:00

A lot of fun with 2 people. Simple but effective :-)

Defend the Planets! by alhvi 2014-08-27T08:06:00

That was some fun, Like the music. Well done! :-)

Sneaky Nessie by barryrowe 2014-08-27T23:29:00

Very cute! :-)

That was interesting! Enjoyed the visuals and music. :-)

The Never Ending Cycle by AlucardX60 2014-08-28T02:57:00

That was some fun even if it was a large download. :-)

Linked Planets by Crazy-Goat-Media 2014-08-29T04:13:00

Good entry .. really enjoyed it .. the graphics were great .. extremely literal on theme entry, nevertheless ... fun but frustrating that it went to the start when I died.

SHIT RUNNER by Cad 2014-08-26T02:55:00

Ha hahahahaha! So wrong! :-)

QOT by eruiz00 2014-08-29T02:41:00

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! :-) Nice one.

Battle of Colorado beatles by AmberStorm 2014-08-29T05:50:00

That was some good humor. Good well rounded entry for a shooter.

Cosmos Kings by Mr. 2014-09-14T21:49:00

That was some fun! :-)

Connected Worlds by Dry Tree 2014-08-29T00:06:00

That was some fun! Thanks! :-)

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-08-26T20:10:00

There are some issues with it. Debugging and will post a comment when fixed version is uploaded.

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-08-26T22:10:00

I have fixed it. Did not even need a recompile was just a config file that needed correcting. Drop box updated. Enjoy!

(There are no sprite lists or sound effects so those errors can be ignored).

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-08-27T02:39:00

You do need the "green key" item, try examining at each location!

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-08-28T00:14:00

Thanks disease. The lock picks are required for the green door. :-)

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-08-28T03:07:00

@rustybroomhandle - You are welcome and thanks.

@ninjascript - Thanks, that is exactly what I was aiming for.

@ericdpitts - Critique noted, thanks. Not be too hard to made the buttons translucent and inactive when not an option.

@Dietrich. Nice one on looking at the .adven.xml (my adventure XML format). Hint: The quantum rod is used at a location too fix something (do not want to spoil it).

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-08-28T03:23:00

@LudusPactum - Thanks. Enjoyed making the music.

@TehSkull - Thanks. Used water soluble pencils for the art.

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-08-28T03:33:00

@jprogman - Nice one man! You get too hear the game completion music! :-)

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-08-30T06:16:00

@Cudabear - Thanks. I wanted to create that feeling. :-)

@rustybroomhandle - Thank you for the encouragement.

@eruiz00 - Thanks. Remember "Island of Secrets" by any chance?

@Sunflower - Thanks for the critiques (gui code is always fun). Yes it is not exactly scientifically correct (also meant to be in the future).

@hungyg - Thanks. Bolygok is Hungerian for Planets. Yes the art is hand drawn and scanned. Color pencils (some being water soluble for that water color effect)

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-08-31T22:36:00

@Borgi - Thanks, used to have a copy of "Write your own adventure programs".

@Dry Tree - I had no problems using chrome, so not sure why it is not working for you (maybe try another browser?).

@hbocao - Thanks for the compliments.

At this point I am considering doing a similar but larger adventure game with player progress load / save (multi level / zone), more polish, more visuals and more music for the October write a game and sell it for a $1 compo.

What do you ladies and gents think of the idea? :-)

Definitely interested in what of "Ludumites" think of

BOLYGOK by Chaoslab 2014-09-04T01:49:00

Ignore that last line of the previous comment, was a mistake (pity we can not edit comments). :-)

Dreamless by Dietrich Epp 2014-08-29T02:35:00

That was fun. Well rounded and interesting. Good effort! :-)

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Whip it! Whip it good! :-)

Ay Pinatas! by jprogman 2015-04-30T21:46:00

That was some fun. Smash'm! :-)

Baba Yaga by pl0xz0rz 2015-04-30T21:36:00

Strange little game. Fell off the right hand side of the map!? :-)

Mummy Hates Heroes by ploogle 2015-05-03T23:09:00

Bouncing about! :-)

Beautiful Chaos by xplicitone 2015-04-23T22:50:00

Congratulation's on completing.

What kind of power is Heart by rottenmage 2015-05-07T02:13:00

Nice game! :-)

The Grand Carpet Hotel by dunin 2015-04-22T17:05:00

the music on reset is doubling and tripling up ... ahhh ...

Ion cannon by umb16 2015-05-07T01:36:00

That was some fun! Nice rounded entry. Well done! :-)

Sorry but this isn't working still ... will this be coming up?

Celery Samurai by rantt 2015-04-22T01:50:00

That was some fun! :-)

antKiller by d3garcia 2015-04-23T23:27:00

Good start, having to run the game over and over is a bit annoying.

Spring Cleaning by Voidraizer 2015-04-23T22:52:00

That was some humor! :-)

The Rock the Paper and the Scissors by BIZM 2015-05-03T23:54:00

Awesome well rounded entry. Very delicious! :-)

Crookman by wearehomebound 2015-05-07T02:16:00

Nice old school horror entry.

Evil Cupido: Haters gonna hate by Pixel Heart 2015-04-22T02:09:00

Enjoyed that, nice graphics. :-)

SUPER Kid by SuperKid 2015-04-22T02:23:00

Pew! Pew! Pew! :-)

You are the carré by thedarknightdu78 2015-04-30T21:51:00

Nice puzzle game. :-)

Mega Foxy Time Trap by kivano 2015-05-07T01:23:00

Nice game and good visuals. :-)

Crazy Baker by Hammer Games 2015-05-07T01:26:00

Nice graphics! Baguette anyone? :-)

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-21T00:55:00

There are bugs so bug fixes are coming! :-)

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-21T01:40:00

The Bugs are so bad it will not even run except in dev mode on my machine. Will post when a working version is available.

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-21T02:49:00

Game is now loading and running so it can be downloaded and played, but...

Bad Bug in level completion code that needs to be fixed so the first level is not completable.

You can use command line args to see the 8 levels, example:
java ld level:3

Getting back to bug fixing.

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-21T09:38:00

All Systems are go!

The game can now be completed!

Please download and enjoy!

:-)

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-22T02:52:00

Matt:
Thanks for that. So Mac OS is out till I get a fix in, damn. BUG 006: added.

ianb96:
What system are you using? (try the run_game.bat file if using windows).
Both the dev.bld and debug.bld should not be there and are not required (just empty flag files anyway)

Creating a debug.bld file will make the game print debug information.

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-22T03:10:00

Okay update guys! Found problem with loading files and fixed it and updated the .zip so please try again.

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-22T03:27:00

ianb96:
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it! Completed it on delay:0 before, was not easy. Must fix the none looping music bug (app running in the first place was more important though and luckily not even code just some .xml).

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-22T05:19:00

Okay more bug fixes are in! :-)

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-28T06:21:00

jprogman:
Thanks! yeah there is no way to loose but you do have to play the game to win the level. The chickens eat any free ranging slugs pretty quickly and also get "energized" after eating a certain amount of slugs making them even more challenging. :-)

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-04-28T06:27:00

blob:
Thanks man, that is what I was aiming for.

mike.cullingham:
I do want to make a more fuller version at some point so will definitely add something like that.

rantt:
Thanks, been making music for a few years now, so much fun to do.

Sublustris:
Thanks. That is what I was hoping for! :-)

gene-z:
Thanks.

Snicklodocus:
Thanks. Did my best to make it feel old school. Coded "Sirius 7" on the Amiga back in the day. :-)

Bubbles & Slugs by Chaoslab 2015-05-07T20:17:00

rudra:
Thanks. I am planning to make a better version (20 - 30 Levels and Custom Levels).

JDAivaliotis:
The game is pretty fast (even the slow version). The idea is to collect slugs (save them up for the last few levels ), collect bubbles and trap chickens (do not click! keep both buttons down - see below). You collect more slugs via the left side helper while waiting for the lettuce to spawn. Once all the lettuce has spawned you trap chickens then use the slug helper to release a burst of slugs to get the lettuce. Difficult lettuce can be hit by right mouse clicking the sides after it lights up green, then any right mouse click launches slugs you have, careful though as you use them quickly. The launched slugs are very very fast and cover allot of screen space. Then you keep the chickens trapped by right mouse (down) on them to strengthen the bubble and they do not escape.

That is the long of it. :-)

elefantopia:
It is better to keep both of the mouse buttons down than click. Then you pick up slugs / bubbles and also trap chickens at the same time (but do not go to the side edges of the screen and accidentally fire slugs).

Thanks guys. Have a draft Retrospective that will publish today.

Fun game! :-)

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-04-21T02:17:00

@Thunderous Echo - Stable version uploaded. Let me know how it goes.

I wrote it and run it on Windows 7.

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-04-21T02:25:00

Ok Found an Error. Game is not loading outside of my Dev system. Working on it and will post soon as it is fixed.

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-04-21T06:21:00

Found the Error and Debugged it. Fixed version is live.

Also tested and runs on Windows 10.

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-04-22T03:32:00

@Corupta - Thanks. One my new favorite tracks.

@Matlab - I updated the readme.txt and entry description text to be a bit more informative.

@sarayCow - Its all about shifting shapes on skates.

@TheMeorch - You are welcome. Nothing like see that first shape go flying off the screen on a skate board.

Once again thank you for your feed back. :-)

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-04-22T22:46:00

@caelanrp Thanks. I like it old school as well and think that is a core part of Ludum.

@namrog84 :-) Thanks man. Off to the factory with it!

@KodingNight Well I am Chaoslab.

@Kuality-Games Click on the Butterflys which then drop a Shape (symbol). Then just fire a Skate Board at it. :-)


Again thanks for the feed back, considering doing a tutorial image to help people out a bit with how to play the game and what is going on (And make it the first preview image of the entry).

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-04-24T06:11:00

@taviandir Click the butter flys to get shapes, and click Balloons (left drag is easiest) to get Skate Boards that you Fire and the Shapes which then get shifted off screen.

@ZpeedTube The game has 10 levels. :-)

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-04-24T20:22:00

@MayankUnreal Sure is fun. Did you finish all 10 levels.

@Jonak Try running the game slowed down ( run_slow.bat ) or if you need it slower run at the command line like this.
java LD delay:20

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-04-26T21:53:00

@dalbinblue "spawn a hundred skateboards at once". I love doing that too! It is the best way to get through level #8.

@Strike Thank you very much!

@Brian_Mayberry Awesome! That was the plan! I like to make abstract creations in Ludum Dare as it is a medium to explore, might as well leave the beaten path a wee bit.

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-05-04T01:05:00

@davidcmcdonald Thanks. Slowly getting my 3rd album together (Chaoslab on bandcamp).

@IDidGame Shape Shifting is the inspiration. Skate shifter is the pun title joke. The Butterflys are shape shifter's which spawn Shapes when clicked on. The Skate boards then Shift the Shapes (off the screen). So its all Shape Shifting really.

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-05-05T17:34:00

@Louspirit Thanks. Had fun making the art and music for the game. It can be slowed down by running the run_game_slow file. Can also be slowed down from the command line with the parameter delay: e.g.
Java LD delay:25

Skate Shifter by Chaoslab 2016-05-09T06:55:00

@pixelpotions Thank you!

@MintArcade It is fun when it all clicks!

@Voxel thanks for the video! Glad you and your boy enjoyed yourselves. :-)

TOS Legends by Strike 2016-09-11T07:01:00

That was awesome! Turrican meets Dangerous Dan! Well done, I really enjoyed it even if it was short. Obviously can't give artistic credit to the ripped material. Nice mash up. :-)

CAN KITTEH HAS YUMMIES? by Muel 2016-09-10T22:07:00

Fun wee game. Ran fine for me. Quack! Quack!

Ubuq by cubotrox_toni 2016-09-03T20:35:00

Good graphics and animation.

Found the attack system a bit confusing but fun over all.

Well done! :-)

Robot Forest by Thrainsa 2016-09-03T20:19:00

Nice yummy visuals, enjoyable music and fun too play.

Took me a moment to realize firing arrows was done with the mouse (expected it to be key bound with the movement).

Well done.

EverDown by Ryusui 2016-09-13T19:38:00

That was allot of fun! Nice pixel art and chippy audio. Enjoyed myself. Thanks for that! :-)

George and the Mighty Ancient's technology (VR) by Jacqueslelezard 2016-09-13T22:38:00

Finished it. Pretty short but that was some fun. Great Atmosphere! :-)

Holy Moo! by technocf 2016-09-05T04:09:00

Well rounded entry. Nice pixel art! :-)

Place of Power by flazm 2016-09-10T23:15:00

Good job. Decent pixel art, audio theme and mood.

Had some fun. Thanks!

DNA Inspector by AndyGusto 2016-09-10T22:16:00

This is cool. I say keep this idea and keep it really simple as a puzzle game and add elements that are fun. :-)

Golem by Yazara 2016-09-05T04:01:00

Well rounded entry. Enjoyed the visuals and audio. The starting content was enough to teach you how to play with out an explanation. Good stuff! :-)

ShroomMan by monstersauce 2016-09-08T09:02:00

Fun, easy, nice graphics! Thanks for that.

Dino Lazer by Chaoslab 2016-09-04T20:52:00

Thanks for the heads up. Related to detecting any game controllers.

Should no longer fail. Just report the exception and you can use the Keyboard for control.

Dino Lazer by Chaoslab 2016-09-05T05:45:00

Found and fixed the problem with Game Controllers. All should be working now on OS/X and Windows.

Dino Lazer by Chaoslab 2016-09-10T01:38:00

@Strike - It is all in the readme.txt , Keys and Gamepad controls. The slow version of the game can be played by running the following bat/sh file.
run_game_slow.bat / run_game_slow.sh

Dino Lazer by Chaoslab 2016-09-12T17:42:00

@Jacqueslelezard - Thanks (Will just make an in game image next time with instructions).

@Ryusui - Was wondering if I tuned it too tightly. The trick is too fire in bursts, even from zero you still get in decent continuous barrages of the high powered laser.

Dino Lazer by Chaoslab 2016-09-17T23:06:00

@invader - Thanks for the critique and info. Corrected the .sh files.

NEONAUT by pixelpotions 2016-09-11T01:37:00

Cool pixel art and good audio. Had some fun wondering about. Font on the terminals was a bit small. Fun none the less. Thanks for that. :-)

Key Adventure by g12345 2016-09-04T21:02:00

Good start! Wondered about a bit, looked good.

Fast paced. Had some fun. Liked the Pixel Art. Thanks

A nice program the robot game. Reminded me of a game on the Amiga called Tower of Babel which featured programmable robots. Solid well rounded entry.

SpaceBeaver by OWC 2016-12-19T20:50:00

Reminded me of the old arcade game Gyrus. Nice pixel Art.

BadRoom by MpowG 2016-12-19T05:07:00

Great atmosphere, graphics and music. Fun scaring people about the place. Solid well rounded entry. Thanks for the fun! :-)

AirportSecurity by Luminar_ 2016-12-18T19:03:00

Chest Quest! by Jamie Rollo 2016-12-19T08:30:00

Cute little arcade game. Good Pixel Art and fun too play.

Bird-O-Tron by Chaoslab 2016-12-17T15:10:00

@LordSk - Thanks! Should all be working now!

Bird-O-Tron by Chaoslab 2016-12-19T18:19:00

Version 1.423 has been released.

- bugfixed Extra Lives. 2500, every 5000 till 25000, every 10000 till 65000 and then every 15000 after that.
- bugfixed Enemy generation so the game should be harder in general.
- added more bullet crystals on the last few levels.
- command line options added.
fast - for a harder / faster version of the game
fullscreen - to expand the app to fullscreen.

---------------------------------------------------------

@AcuadoyStudios - Thanks. Definitely thinking about expanding the design. Adding inventory / weapons and a populated place to scroll about explore in.

@Vadim Ivshin - Thank you very much. You might like another work in progress / project of mine - Lazer Neon Quazar a Shoot'm"Up.

@Alexander Kondyrev - Thanks man. I have been meaning to write a game like this for quite a while and will continue to build on it.

@sP0CkEr2 - Thank you very much. I started designing a joust like game back in the late 1980's on the Amiga which was never finished so it so I am stoked that I did get this one finished.

@Jezzamon - Looking into making a JRE bundled version using the Open JDK.

@stefvanschie - Thanks for the critique. You can run the game in fast mode which makes it harder just use the option fast when running it from the command line. Will be adding a hard command line option which will implement a harder version (weaker player, more enemies, less power ups).

Bird-O-Tron by Chaoslab 2016-12-27T09:34:00

@jeich
Thank you very much.

@Cerberus
You are welcome! Thanks.

@Karai17
Thank you.

@Karai17
Thanks. The original arcade controls are even trickier. :-)

@TheMonsterFromTheDeep
Thanks. What os / resolution you running? Using a new auto scaling method.

@Chao
Thanks. Will be adding a hard mode option.

Thank you for the critiques.

Got carried away with debugging my release tools a bit.

20181213_screenie_01.gif

Still working on the game but it is no longer a 72 hour entry.
