LD37 — One room (33)

Broken Breakout? by timgarbos 2016-12-27T22:42:00

I had stopped voting for games 2 days ago, but I just came by a review of your game on a french website, and played it. So now that I've played it, I might as well vote for it.

Awesome game ! A very broken mechanic, but one that is fun to play. Very fun. I could have play some more level.

Maybe you already know, but you can get the ball out of the room by shaking the room recklessly, and after doing that some times, touching the pink block doesn't restart the levels. It happened to me on the last level, so I don't know if it's on every levels.

And last thing, the level 8 is awesome.

Nest by Jonathan Whiting 2016-12-19T21:08:00

Wow, that's brilliant. The third screen was to much for my poor brain, but the autoplay is an awesome feature.

One piece in one room by fufi 2016-12-18T14:36:00

Very funny mechanic.

It becomes quite difficult really quickly to remember all the interactions needed, in order to please the audience.

Still it is fun.

Detective Noword and the case of the floor tiles by dunin 2016-12-18T14:23:00

Wow. This one was cool! Clever writing, simple and enjoyable investigation mechanics.

Having a joyfull and goofy sideckick, following you and talking in your place is a great idea. The rotoscoped sprites were fun and lively.

Very well done.

Little Dreams by RockhopperGames 2016-12-18T13:55:00

Unfortunately I got motion sickness real quick, so I had to stop at some point. A crosshair, would have helped I think.
But I saw the some of the dreams, and it was quite awesome. As the others said the assets are great, I really loved the socks and the shirts, they were so cute.

The dream sequence with the plants/trees is beautiful.

The One Room Experiment by Siegfried Croes 2016-12-18T02:15:00

Simply put it is my favorite take on the theme so far.
The whole dungeon fitting in one single room ever changing is brilliant.

It is a bit difficult though. I really think the jump should have had a predetermined length. The possibility to stop, or change direction during jump, makes it a bit difficult to make precise landing on a top down game like that.

I made it to the end, but it took me many attempts, and I would have stop before if it wasn't for the awesome graphics, and transitions and that I was a bit curious of the last room.

Anyway, might be my fav entry so far.

Croquettes by VikFx 2016-12-18T00:41:00

Nice take on the theme, with a nice concept.

Shadow Fencer Theatre by ShuddaHaddaLottaFun 2016-12-17T15:32:00

Awesome sounds and graphics, the animated menu, all is very well polished. The gameplay is fun but get frustrating pretty quick, as there's not much room to improve your fighting skill. And also sometimes it's difficult to unstuck the sword from some positions.

Still it was fun game to try.

Luread Mud - World Tour '73 by desucrerer 2016-12-17T02:04:00

Ok! That was fun ! Destroying things is fun, animations was really cool.

Tim in Time by Alexbrainbox 2016-12-17T01:51:00

This one is very charming. Your pixel art is cute, the story is funny and the dialogs are witty. I liked that it is a short game, making it for a little adventure.

AFK by efno 2016-12-16T21:21:00

It was really great until the game broke (at least I think it broke). For some reason I couldn't open the door anymore (in one of the past sequence).

But it was really nice, I liked the "mini games", it might me the first time I changed a bulb in a video game.

I think you should have write a simpler password though, without ambiguous letters like I and l, S and 5 ...

Still , I really liked the writing, the procrastinating part, and the twists with the time.

TestROOM by Jeuiop 2016-12-16T17:14:00

The game is nice, I loved the graphics a lot, and the music. The game play is cool, might bit a bit challenging to make beat ten levels.

I didn't care much for the flashing of the screen. Thin and small white sprites on a black screen are already tiresome for the eyes, but the flashing makes it very painful after a long play.

Still a nice concept making a fun game.

Throne Room of the Merchant King by mike.cullingham 2016-12-16T16:57:00

I did'nt know that kings were that much involved with the details of the kingdom's economy, neither that so many merchants were lazying around throne rooms.

Joke aside, the trading is fun. I wish trading and moving weren't the same button, because, some times you just walk on top of a trader, and hide him, make it difficult to trade with him.

Ultimate Hamster Carnage by Alpenter 2016-12-16T16:30:00

Very fun game. And well done, I really love the power up fest. It works perfectly as short term reward system, as well as a risk/reward strategic system (do I go to in the far corner to that X3 or not ?).

Graphics ar fun and humorous.
Maybe there's a big spike in the difficulty curve at some point because, I will always die with quite the same score.

Anyway, well done !

Speed square by Josho 2016-12-16T16:12:00

Nice take on the theme.
It is really well done.

I really like that idea. Something like that could go on forever. By adding different features levels after levels, it could go for hundreds of them !

9 deaths 60.78 I can't do better

Five Days To Die: A Hospital Mystery by terryg 2016-12-16T03:11:00

Very clever writing, funny dialogs. The artstyle is very original too. I really liked that one.

Ernő & Rubï by Mike Mezhenin 2016-12-16T02:51:00

This was very interesting! It feels like some interactive art book, with pop ups and stuff. You would play around and build a story with it.

Since the guy can be alone, I wish that the girl could be alone too. What I mean is, that way the story could also have been told from her point of view.

It still is an amazing idea, and it's awesomely done.

The Visitors by Michalidis 2016-12-16T02:15:00

Nice spoOOOOOooooOOOOoooooOOooooky ambiance !
Game feel is nice, the sound of the gold, and crits are rewarding. I was NOT ready for the boss, and reactivated my tendinitis, which is cool somehow (and yet no so cool).

Great entry, with nice production values.

E-Cracs by bigoss73 2016-12-16T00:15:00

Couldn't get past the lvl6, after many retries. Would have keep going but it's a bit frustrating to have to get past all the waves every time.

It was quite fun anyway.

Henry Snackleworth's Weird Day by Cerno_b 2016-12-16T00:00:00

Many things I liked in that one :

- The twist with the theme. When I entered the room and saw the grabbing hand, I thought : oh no ! Not another point & click ! And the combat started and I laughed.

-the art style, is a bit weird, but goes along really well with the mood.

- I loved the sad piano while in the room. I don't know if it was intended to be funny, but I thought it was.


But, finally getting a double jump just to find that there are no more levels ??? That's cruel ^^

It Wasn't Me by Deltaohio 2016-12-15T23:39:00

Nicely done, the different switch are really good ideas for that kind chromatic-based game.

ScareBear by Mr_Field 2016-12-15T23:24:00

Many things are amazing in this game. The dodge is soooooo cute. Your way to get around the limitations of the theme was clever.

I had maaany attempts to beat the knight, but finally got him. I wander for a looooooong time in the rooms, before figuring out the trick.
Then I found the dress, but when I found the guy needing it, I could never give it to him, then I was transported, in a black screen, totally black exept for the character. Then I was outside my room, there was as mask in the middle of it, but I could never enter the room again (it's like I'm telling a dream ^^ )

Was that a glitch ?

Roomiverse by Shockk 2016-12-15T22:21:00

Same here, don't really know what's going on ^^
I like it somehow, I can build computers, but can't really figure how I do it. Kind of hypnotizing anyway.

I would be happy to know the mechanics involved here, if you would care to explain :)

Obi's Christmas Adventure by Joshsimard 2016-12-15T15:20:00

Very fun game. The music is awesome, but that short loop, now will be stuck in my head forever, so damn you !

As some people pointed out, background is a bit confusing.

Still, great entry.

The Chinese Room by Pierrec 2016-12-15T15:06:00

As usual your writing is spot on, and the game is fun, witty and charming.

And as usual, it's worth the time spent trying to understand how things works, realizing you have to blink is quite rewarding, for example. I'm glad we don't have to "manually" keep the all the sphincters closed, but the fart button is, of course, a great feature.

My only grief is, that keeping the character alive is a big task in itself, making it difficult to follow the story. So I have yet to beat the game.

Pixelander by eddynardo 2016-12-15T13:57:00

Nicely done. The concept is works pretty well, I'm sure the puzzle could be very interesting with some fine tuning.

The Fluffy Factory by piller.yann 2016-12-15T13:26:00

Fun and cruel game. It's always interesting to force the player to be an immoral asshole. The contrast with the fun music, and the cruelty of the game works really well.

As some people pointed out, it's quite hard, and there might not be enough feedback on the state of the children, make it a bit difficult to read the game fast enough.

VaporArenaWave クール by Tilemapping 2016-12-15T12:59:00

Cool game ! Nice art style. I loved the demons/minotaurs, enemies. A crosshair would have been nice though, as it helps with motion sickness, which some people (like me) get easily.

Hanging Out by VanderHum 2016-12-14T23:34:00

The art-style is stunning.

Conștiență by Uliana Galich 2016-12-14T23:13:00

Really good looking game, I loved the way, the object appeared, it made much more sense, in the end.

emily VS everything by mooncalf 2016-12-14T22:53:00

I really do love 2D beat 'em ups, it's probably my favorite genre of video game.

The feeling is nice, it has quite a nice polish. Music is cool, so are the graphics.

Oh! Circle, Dot. by calzep 2016-12-14T22:36:00

Played it with a mouse, fun, but a tendinitis nightmare ^^

Should definitely be easier on the wrist, played on a smartphone.

Maggie's Grinning Soul by Diplodino 2016-12-14T22:25:00

It was fun, nice graphics in that french comic book style. The dubbing is a nice and courageous effort ^^

LD36 — Ancient Technology (15)

Ufo Quest by Smiley 2016-09-03T15:56:00

Very nice looking. The animations, minimalists as they are, are excellent. When I close my eyes, now I see those guy's from the title screen, dancing, and dancing, and dancing...

The game is cool, I liked the game style. With the weapons I like the trade-off, between range and strength, but that I do agree, that the slingshot is useless.

My only grief, is that I spawned to many times very close to an enemy when entering a room, and got hit because of that.

But still, very nice game.

Ancient Invaders by JonathanG 2016-09-03T15:02:00

I really liked the art, the music, and gameplay. I liked the physic and the boss fight. The fact that arrows can be blocked by ennemy projectiles is nice too.

I'm not sure about those blocks, though. With dead ennemy's and ennemy's projectiles already blocking arrows, I thought the blocks were a bit redundant. Especially in the boss fight, where you almost can't get a shot at it before clearing most of the blocks.

But very cool entry anyway.

Cauldron! by Biliogadafr 2016-09-02T00:53:00

Game is funny, the mechanic is nice, but it very hard for me. I could never beat the dinosaurs fast enough to have the time to grab one. I put many in the cauldron, just by clubbing them, so that was fun.

Graphics are very cool.

Fallen by Maxi and The Gang 2016-09-01T17:43:00

Very nice story and very nice way to tell it.

Like some people above, I don't really like the automatic copy of the data. Having the possibility to interrupt the copy, never felt as relevant as the implication of dragging the files myself.

The floppy is soooooo cute ^^

DysAstrum by Mr. Chelnoque 2016-09-01T17:08:00

Veeeeeeery beautiful game ! Art and sounds are awesome. I agree with amras0000 above, about the game mechanics not really complementing the puppet theater theme.

I tried 3 times but couldn't beat the sun. Is he beatable ? Because there isn't any feedback on his health/status, I was starting to wonder if the sun was meant to be kill.

Oh, and sometimes it gets visually confusing, especially during the Sun fight, where you can get hidden behind the curtain.

but still, one of my fav game so far.

TOS Legends by Strike 2016-09-01T16:28:00

Too bad, I really liked the art, the gameplay and the music. The controls, seemed very nice, but the tilting effect gave me motion sickness in less than 2mn.

I agree with NoTrueSpaceman, that levels when you change directions less often, would have made the effect more "special". Or maybe if the effect was much more smooth and slow.

Run Grab Escape by MrTroy 2016-09-01T11:37:00

I liked the feeling of the character, his jump, and his weight, but I think he slips too much for that kind of precise platforming. Also there is a glitch I encountered four times, where the character just keep running left by himself.

Nice animations, and sounds. Liked how the character sits when he gets hit, he's cute.
But still

Boxatons by Avon 2016-08-31T23:52:00

Wow, this was strangely satisfying. The pummeling was verrrrrry fun, I really liked the feeling, of the fists, and stuff.

Do robots dream of flying dog baskets? by A Little Red Panda 2016-08-31T23:34:00

Funny story, fun looking robot.

Old Man's Sky by Geared Games 2016-08-29T22:54:00

Very cool graphics, sound. The joke, on No man's sky is cool.
It's fun to move around in the ship, but you better make sure you have no momentum while getting off the ship, unless you want to see it glide awayyyyyyyyyy ^^

Surge by 8BitPimp 2016-08-29T22:41:00

Awesome music and great graphics.

No Touch by aeveis 2016-08-29T21:58:00

Soooo cute graphics. I really liked to control that dog. Fun music, verrrrry nice graphics, sweet story.
A fun little platformer.

SPHER01D by CogentInvalid 2016-08-29T21:42:00

Fun game, made me laugh. Fun to play. I wish, dying would reset the level and not the whole game, but that's Ok as it wasn't too long. Final boss was really cool with it's kinda bullet-hell patterns.

Troll question : If the green fellas can drop guns when they die, why don't they use it to fight ?

But maybe I'm overthinking this ;)

Stone Giant by MirrorPolygons 2016-08-29T21:09:00

Very beautiful graphics, and atmosphere, I liked the round window. I walked a lot for a long time, but never found anything besides a river. So I walked along the river, slowly.

Good walk ^^

Theoton by ninja00283 2016-08-29T20:52:00

Cool concept ! Controls might be a bit awkward at first, I wished the character would no take a step, every time I try to make him turn left or right with arrows. I fell a lot from edges because I did not have the reflex to use A and D.

But I really liked the feeling with the jump mechanic.

LD27 — 10 Seconds (6)

Gred & Reen by AlvaroH 2013-09-04T16:28:00

Green and red... That makes it the less color blind friendly game ever. But joke aside it's fun, it's not that easy to switch all the time, without getting confused. Good work.

Fantastic Journey of a Teleporting Circle by nek 2013-09-02T16:43:00

I wish there was more of that triangle and psychedelic background, but good entry anyway.

Notiempo by TeamWithoutLegs 2013-08-30T15:16:00

Awesome graphics. It's too bad server was always empty when I tried to connect, but still it seemed pretty good. I'm impressed. While being blue I had the impression of running with a blue vibrator in front of me, but I suppose I'm sick in me head. I'll come back hoping to find people on the server.

Time Perception by Reyn 2013-08-28T13:28:00

Very interesting, the director's cut is fun.

Withdrawal Syndrome by Supernaught 2013-08-27T12:40:00

Really nice. I've always wanted to play Jeff Goldblumm in a game.

The Day Magic Died by Endurion 2013-08-26T11:26:00

It's cool ! (Damn you arrows)!
