LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Daygore Bunko by SonnyBone 2015-05-10T17:09:00

Sometimes starts a level with me stuck in a wall. Otherwise, very cool.
Nice audio!

Barrage Restaurant ~ Bountiful Food by Shugor 2015-04-21T03:42:00

Kind of neat and brutal bullet hell game.

Miyu by SecondDimension 2015-04-21T14:07:00

Really liked the ambiance of this little game. Coulda used some sort of indicator for how many sun sprites were left.

Music and the sound design were lovely and relaxing.

Super Banana Gun by Ventura 2015-04-21T04:05:00

Same. Get the data folder in the downloadable.

FINGERSLINGER by Mnemusyne 2015-04-22T11:49:00

This is really well done.
I'm terrible at it, but that happens.
This has some of my favorite audio out of all the jam games I've checked out so far.

Hugline Miami by Figglewatts 2015-04-21T04:04:00

I don't understand why I have murder hugs.

BoozeHound by Havacore 2015-04-22T23:18:00

I liked the part with the booze.

Duke Newton by ionbattle 2015-04-21T04:48:00

The BGM was nice but what about more audio?

Oops... I killed my neighbors by Tork 2015-04-21T05:34:00

I actually cackled playing this.

Boreocracy by Sean Noonan 2015-04-21T20:46:00

Kafkaesque.

DATAWIN Lite by sorlok 2015-04-22T00:03:00

Got stuck against a rock during the fight with first blue guy. Couldn't move after that.

Nuclear Autumn by phi6 2015-04-23T14:33:00

This was really well done.

Sometimes figuring out where to go next could get tough, and collecting rocks was somewhat frustrating.

Stick Quest by louis.denizet 2015-04-21T21:41:00

First LD game I've played with credits.

Nice music and aesthetic.

Super Splash Fistiguffs by Team-KwaKwa 2015-04-21T20:50:00

Seems like with 2 players, I'd still get 4 dudes on the screen, then the level doesn't end even if both real people lose all their lives?

Death by Chocolate - Unconventional Cure by waveformmodulations 2015-05-09T00:32:00

I couldn't pick things up except a notepad, seemed like.

HoneyGuy by rallebauz 2015-04-21T16:26:00

Eating bees and spitting them out of your mouth is pretty great. Long live games featuring bees as weapons!

Bees Bears Buzz by CowShark 2015-04-21T03:20:00

For a lot of criticisms I would offer the blanket excuse, "If I had more time..."

Bees Bears Buzz by CowShark 2015-04-21T05:28:00

I agree that having different levels would be probably a cool thing if I do another version of this.

Blockman & Tuna by ninjascript 2015-04-21T15:35:00

Game seemed to lock right up when I opened my first can of tuna.

Nögg Saber by Shivur 2015-04-26T16:25:00

Got a java error trying to run the jar.

Irmgard Reichts by Ancient_Pixel 2015-04-22T13:03:00

The camera zooming looks kind of gross with the pixel art. Otherwise, the graphics are pretty great!

Flail Rider by jushii 2015-04-22T03:22:00

Got excited about this as soon as I saw the screenshots! Love the concept - very "unconventional" indeed! Very fun, quirky little game. Really hope you plan to continue developing this!

My only criticism would be the somewhat boat-like handling of the car, which makes it a little difficult to do controlled whip-arounds to aim the flail. Some amount of chaos is expected, but maybe a slightly more controlled chaos? ;)

At any rate, excellent entry!

Bears and Bees by Harley77 2015-04-21T02:16:00

I like the positivity of the lose and win states.

Keep being awesome.

Killin' It by shcromlet 2015-04-22T13:58:00

This is a very cool thing to have made.
I always like a rhythm game.

Unconventional Butts (WT) by seraphki 2015-04-21T23:12:00

I like the flavor text for various hand, butt, and mouth interactions.

Floats by Horsed 2015-04-22T03:49:00

Played the post-compo Windows version. Really, really dig this game. I didn't get all the way to level 10 thanks to being generally clumsy with my mouse, but I had fun anyway!

Honestly, the right-click-drag camera controls didn't bother me at all and felt rather natural, but that may be because I am accustomed to working in 3D modeling/animation software, where middle-mouse or right-mouse buttons are typical for camera movement. Ah well!

The visuals, sound design and gameplay work very well off each other. The game really feels like a cohesive unit! Well done!

Unconventional Cowfare by uber 2015-04-21T15:00:00

Had to swap to fullscreen to tone down the resolution, which was weird. Might be nice to have a destruction threshold where you can move onto the next level if you want. A couple times I'd get destroy most everything and then just have to expend drones doing not much at all at the end of a level.

Beacon by SayHiBen 2015-04-22T02:49:00

Third maze is kind of brutal for the uninitiated.

Mutiny on Samovar V by Fabraz 2015-04-21T16:32:00

I didn't find someone to play this with, so didn't rate it on fun or overall, but it seems like a cool idea. BGM was a good pick. Sounds for various things happening coulda been somewhat louder maybe.

Radisheriff by Ourson 2015-04-22T00:40:00

This is damn well done.

Gameplay was engaging and it has a good bunch of setups where the firefights feel diverse. Badass for a jam game.

SPACE LOVERS? by spreadtheflow 2015-04-21T04:13:00

Music is pretty nice, but no sound effects make me feel like it's missing a lot.

Queen Bee by PurpleMonkey 2015-04-22T04:14:00

This was really a neat and different thing.

Couple people have said, but this could use some indicator of who you are and who you are against when you're starting.

Sight by HBomb 2015-04-22T17:09:00

Had my volume turned up quite a bit to try to understand what was going on. Now I understand that getting murdered by a is pretty startling when you're doing that.

battle star by omaha 2015-04-22T04:03:00

Snazzy! I like the weapon mechanic a lot. The minimalist look really works, I think. Anything more elaborate and the visuals would have been busy enough to cause readability issues, possibly, so well done on that! The difficulty level was a little beyond me, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the game!

A Last Mole King's Lullaby by NoxiiStudio 2015-04-21T04:45:00

Sound design was super great.

Ex-Sword-Stential Crisis by Team Ex-Sword-Stential 2015-04-22T14:14:00

Got a coin stuck to me that I couldn't collect, which stopped me from moving somehow. Otherwise, seems pretty neat.

Food Fighter 2000 by sP0CkEr2 2015-04-21T04:33:00

Got knocked outside the playing field somehow, but before that the shooting was alright.

Ally VS Wild ! by LeReveur 2015-04-22T21:38:00

Hard to understand what's going on. The art that's in there looks good though.

Eyebrella by hydancer 2015-04-21T17:25:00

The mechanics of this are really fun, but moving around is pretty hard. Graphics and effects are pretty good here.

A nice Day in the Park by Polyganz 2015-04-21T15:54:00

Pretty fun. Vaguely reminds me of Dragon's Lair with the "Here's a scenario. Do this thing. Whoops. Try again" gameplay.

Although it doesn't take away quarters, which is nice.

Minotaur by Wan 2015-04-21T21:25:00

This is pretty legit for a jam game. Really enjoyed the mechanic, and that you've designed many levels. Had a problem with one level that I accidentally backed out of a few times, and I'd have to see the intro text whenever re-entering.
