LD28 — You Only Get One (8)

FASTBACK by Opifex Ludus 2013-12-18T01:34:00

Fast paced. Great game. I wish I could see how far I was from the next medal.

One Arrow Guy by Oli 2013-12-17T15:00:00

The 2d/3d mix is nice but it took me some time to realize that I could fire in any direction (not just right or left).
I really like to theme interpretation. Great job!

Get over here! by Nisshoku 2013-12-16T22:56:00

189 secs here! World record? :D
I really like the gameplay. The difficulty is well balanced and the game is challenging.
Very good job here.

In case you want to play again to my game, here is a secret: q + z. Which location did you reach?

Monochrome by anapff 2013-12-16T21:43:00

Cool idea but it was really hard to play. Maybe enabling the collision (but still disabling rendering) for the other colors could help? good job

Clicky Blocks by dstozek 2013-12-16T21:29:00

Wow wow wow! This is brilliant! Seriously. I am sad there is no way to get more blocks other than having some friends. Very good job. 5/5.

One Fall by lantto 2013-12-16T18:50:00

Good game :)

YOGOSec by aritzh 2013-12-16T15:15:00

The game does not close on Linux but I like the gameplay

ONE COLOR by howieV (binarygirl) 2013-12-16T15:00:00

Good game but the music keeps on playing even when I close the game :D

LD27 — 10 Seconds (47)

Runner Up by Jeremy Nikolai 2013-08-29T22:28:00

I really like this game. Your interpretation of the theme is very interesting I haven't seen anything close to yours this far.
Being second is more challenging that it seems at first sight!
Sadly I have noticed a bug in the rank, and sometimes it says I am 3rd or 1st while I am really second. Also the AI seems to struggle in the second race (counter clock-wise). But maybe this is intended (which is fine).

Anything else is great. Maybe some different tracks would have been a good addition (I only reached race 2).

Great job.

Bombun by DaggerHog 2013-08-29T04:33:00

Good job.

10 Seconds of Relativity by yagiz 2013-08-29T01:47:00

I really loved this game and I think the idea was perfect for the theme. I really enjoyed playing it and the little sentences between the levels.
I wish there were more levels / levels with variable time (this is what I expected when I saw 'time is relative').
Very good job here! 4/5.

ps: don't listen to the first comment of '7heSAMA' this guy doesn't even have an entry and is so unfair...

10seconds by otresnjak 2013-08-28T21:24:00

Very good game! I loved the achievements but I didn't get 8th and 10th :( Can you please tell me what I should have done for these? I really tried!

Great job!

fastDefense by little-automaton 2013-08-28T16:44:00

The physics is really funny!
I like the different types of balls but I was really disappointed by the holemaker ball than did nothing (and no hole!) :(

Also I wish the enemies were moving faster and there were more of them because they are very hard to hit when they are at the other side of the map. By the way, nice level generator.

Good job.

Candy Grab! by leedo 2013-08-28T16:26:00

Too bad there's no multiplayer mode!
The gameplay is rather simple but with multiple players it would have been so much better :)

Good job.

Martin Howarth's Ultimate Flying Disc Simulator 2013 by calpolhouse 2013-08-28T15:09:00

This game is not easy to understand and I had to checkout the source code to understand the controls.
You should really write a summary of the gameplay on this page. It would help a lot.

If I have understood correctly, the game is a frisbee simulator where you have to create your team and watch them play. I didn't manage to understand the role of the buttons.

I loved the little biography of each player, and also the music that fits perfectly to a frisbee competition :D

THE WHiTE ROOM by CScribes 2013-08-28T14:47:00

Why do I have to login in with my Google account to download the game? Can't you just make it public?

ONEMOC: 1 MINUTE OF COLORS by dacap 2013-08-28T14:46:00

440 points!
Good job.

Baldaquin by Marcellus 2013-08-28T14:38:00

Ready? Goooo!
Ahah I loved the sounds.
Good job.

Infected Hexes by EvilBrainMan 2013-08-28T06:25:00

Really good idea. I wish there were more different types of infection. I didn't really get the difference between yellow and red. Also being able to loose when the infection reaches 50% of something would be nice. I found the first levels too easy and I had to skip a few of them to reach the real fun!

I really enjoyed playing your game. Great work!

Forefought by US_of_Alaska 2013-08-28T06:06:00

Very entertaining!

Cloksion by DavidBittner 2013-08-28T06:01:00

I really like the idea and particularly the fact that the different colors must cooperate with each other to win. I think you could have done even a little bit more about this!

The only problem to me is the collision detection that is really too strict. You can't even move while touching a wall and you can even be teleported inside the wall if you are unlucky :D

Good job!

Hiccup 2 by tiffi 2013-08-27T17:00:00

Fuck this crazy dinosaur :D
I enjoyed this game.
Good job.

Tiny Arena by Dooleus 2013-08-27T16:50:00

Web version is not working for me, I am stuck to the start screen, space is not working.

Bloodlust: Damsel Destruction by villhest 2013-08-27T16:47:00

I was quietly reviewing some LD games then I started this one...
I saw naked women running in the wood and the first thing I said was 'WTF is this??' :D Since they 'fall' from the sky, I thought they were hanged at first.

This game is crazy but these women run far to fast for me! I barely catched one!
Good job.

Brainwash by ShitAndSon 2013-08-27T16:38:00

MegaUpload does not work for me.

t.i.m.e by Asar Dhandala 2013-08-27T16:37:00

I loved the graphics.
Good job.

Its always red by Szedouu 2013-08-27T16:34:00

The bomb has been defused! Counter Terrorists win!
We need a bomb beeping sound :D
Good job.

Drone Ring by mychairhasalooin 2013-08-27T16:14:00

LDTD!

removed by flamecow 2013-08-27T16:11:00

Who hired this fucking useless assistant? :D
Nice job.

deci-mer by yuvalmz 2013-08-27T16:02:00

At the beginning I was like 'Where the fuck is my character?', then I saw it! That's because most of the time, this kind of game start at the left and the goal is at the right. But it's ok once your notice!
Then I didn't get how to jump. It's not obvious you know (most of the time the space bar or up-arrow is used to jump).

Once you get these things it's start to be enjoyable :)

Good job.

Nerv by arcticleaf 2013-08-27T15:56:00

Pro tip: Press 'Z' the skip the dialog.
I wish the hero was running faster! His animation really suggests a higher speed. I found it very hard.
Good job.

The Chaos Sisters by dark_hunter 2013-08-27T15:47:00

Very polished. A little music would have been cool! Good job.

Silver by SnoringFrog 2013-08-27T15:34:00

I am too bad :(
I like this little alien but he is far too slow to win the Olympics Games!

Good job.

Mechanical Madness by Thermite 2013-08-27T15:27:00

Wonderful game, very polished. I like the fact that there are so many different power-ups. The levels are also very well-designed.
Great work.

Ten Seconds of Night by MinionStudios 2013-08-27T15:16:00

Everyone is dead now. Too bad I can't cure the werewolf.
Good job.

Ninja Time by DaGamesta 2013-08-27T14:59:00

Good job! I like the fact that you are not punished by 'Game over' when you reach 10 seconds.

10 Seconds to leave by Caracole 2013-08-27T14:56:00

Mind blown. Good job.

Game of Throws by ViPeOuT 2013-08-27T14:36:00

This looks cool! I am hosting right now but no one joins :(
Maybe you should host a game 24/24 for a few days?

10 Second Destruction by Integershift 2013-08-27T14:30:00

I like the idea!
The only thing that is missing is a score to count the damage ;)
Good job!

Unexpected Security by Spiderhund 2013-08-27T14:16:00

Cute graphics. I think there are some collision problems with a few walls.
Good job.

10 Second Mayhem by jackw899 2013-08-27T05:49:00

I can't download it for an unknown reason :/

The last time crystals by Kragnir 2013-08-27T05:46:00

I hate this boss.
Good job.

Holiday in Russia by Nerlin 2013-08-27T05:39:00

There are giant cats in Russia??
I loved the mood. Good job.

The Most Important 10 Seconds Of Your Life by Ramiel 2013-08-27T05:34:00

wow this was so good! It's the best gameplay I have seen so far. I had a bit of trouble to understand how to avoid the guys but then I ran on the side and jumped over the bench and reached the end this way. Was it intended?
I was a bit disappointed that the game stopped once I jumped the last bench (I wanted to kick the husband ass!).

Great job.

Microbes by keyboardmonkey 2013-08-27T05:18:00

Game crashed :(
It looked cute.

Color Maze by TnT 2013-08-27T05:16:00

I like the idea. good job.

Top down zombie Runner by supersammy7000 2013-08-27T05:12:00

Great job for your first game!

GLITCH by TravisChen 2013-08-27T05:10:00

Man your game has a bug.

TrI-Deca by futuristteletex 2013-08-27T05:05:00

Wonderful graphics, I wish I could do this!
Good gameplay and great mood.
WHO HAD THE GREAT IDEA THE PUT THE SPEED BOOSTER NEXT TO A GAP?? :D

Kickbox by Epiphane 2013-08-27T05:00:00

So funny! Great job!
It's a football game but I find the way you did it is really innovative! Sadly I played alone so I couldn't use this game at its full potential.
ps: Slow motion rocks

Time Runner by Generalgore 2013-08-27T04:53:00

I like the gameplay. Nice job.
I only see one problem: I don't know how programming in Game Studio works but you should not update the position of your rockets only when an input is detected. You should have a main loop that keeps updating these things every x milliseconds. But maybe this behavior is intended?

Zero Gravity Free Runner release :D by Soundless_dev 2013-08-27T04:46:00

The game crashes at the end of the level 1 (right when I enter the end area).

I enjoyed this one! I started to walk and then my mind was blown :D
VVVVVVV? ;)

Chrono Blood Ninja by theholychicken 2013-08-27T04:42:00

Good carnage. I enjoyed this one.

10 seconds for Cactusman by megashroom 2013-08-27T04:38:00

Haha I love this cactus man!
My advices:
- Restarting from the level where you die, not from scratch would be cool
- Also I often die because the level change is too fast so I keep pressing D and... die!

Death Star by Nuclear_Hammer 2013-08-27T04:18:00

Are you fucking kidding me? THANKS A LOT for the shitty malwares that come with your uploader!!
Seriously did you even try to download your own game?? I have never seen anything like this on a LD entry. This shit even changed my default search engine. So create a Google account and put your game on Google Drive.

LD25 — You are the Villain (2)

Bank Robber2.5D by Kix 2013-01-01T21:25:00

Yeah! I stole the bank and I am a greedy bastard! :D
These guards are pretty scary.

What library / engine did you use?

If you need any help to fix some bugs I would be glad to help. You didn't send to source files so I can't do anything :(

Nature's Villain by bach 2012-12-20T16:47:00

The HTML5 version is not working on Firefox/Ubuntu. But I think it is a libgdx issue because I've never been able to make my libgdx games work on firefox/ubuntu.

LD24 — Evolution (42)

Gene Binder by xhunterko 2012-09-18T00:52:00

I just understood the gameplay when I won.

dai'narcur by Athaudia 2012-09-18T00:47:00

Weird controls but neat idea! It makes me think to Spore.

Rock-Parer-Scissors War by Vladp995 2012-09-18T00:40:00

Nice idea but the AI is definitely too hard for me.

What The Flock by MrPhil 2012-09-18T00:25:00

My eyes :(

cuboidAI by JH 2012-09-18T00:22:00

Great idea. I will try to run fast forward mode all night long to see if the creatures avoid worms. Do you recommend some parameters?

End Humanity! by SFX 2012-09-17T23:58:00

Hard but fun to play!

Glider Drop by tomhunt 2012-09-17T21:31:00

High-score 92! (I don't know if it is good)
Hard to control and to plan the moves.

Good idea and job!

Evo by GhostID 2012-09-17T21:23:00

Haha I liked this game! Finished it also.
Good job!

Evolutionary Designer by FrozenCow 2012-09-17T21:15:00

Very polished!

I so bad at finding effective combinations :D

Great job!

RobotCity by ahm99 2012-09-17T20:53:00

The most common trap is to start a project far too ambitious!

I see what you wanted to make. Good job.

Xelution - Game of Time by tryzor 2012-09-17T20:31:00

Nice game! Collisions are weird (but I know how hard it is because I made a similar game).

Sometimes I cannot capture the last block for an unknown reason. After a few tries it works again.

Good job.

The World Hates You by mcc 2012-09-17T20:16:00

Extremely addictive game! Very nice job! This is exactly the kind of games that I would like to have made =)

A ranking system could make this game so addictive! Also, I suggest to show to the players the rating of the level and if the level have been completed once or never.

One of my favorites! Great job!

A Game With A Castle by toaster 2012-09-17T19:49:00

So hard! I could not even pass the level 1 (many many attempts)

The Evolution of Revolution by vitormartins 2012-09-14T22:20:00

Can't even download your game =(

Scavenger by qualia 2012-09-14T22:16:00

Did you ever wake up?

Harry no te mueras by drumsoverbogota 2012-09-14T22:15:00

I would like to rate this game but... you know I don't speak spanish.

Evolution is the Key by Black Forest Programming 2012-09-01T04:28:00

Wow! This game looks so awesome! I had the same idea but I had not enough skill for this!

I've got a problem because in text mode, I cannot find how to jump the gap. When I type "jump" it says I jumped the gap, but nothing happens. Then "north" but it says I must jump the gap. Can you tell me what to do?

I will come back to this page to check your answer.

Unstealthiest Ninja by brother.byto 2012-08-31T22:32:00

Yeah found him!
I liked the levels

Far From Earth by Ramikaze 2012-08-31T21:56:00

Can you rename windows in JAR? I think it would be better.

Evu for life by dector 2012-08-31T21:54:00

I liked it. Very polished game. It makes me think to super meat boy. I were stucked at level 10.

Selection by S0larCode 2012-08-30T03:46:00

I cannot rate your game because it keeps on crashing :(
I'm using linux.

!wrms by nixeldev 2012-08-30T03:23:00

Haha funny sounds! :D
Will you release the source code? I'd like to understand how you are doing to compute the world collisions and things like this. Can you explain a bit?

Obelisk Preserver by Nanolotl 2012-08-29T23:31:00

You know what? Your game rocks!! :D
I loved the final boss so much!

A little music would be great.

The Tower with Traps in it by Moops 2012-08-29T23:06:00

Very nice work! It is a real game that you made. I liked the concept of "life = range of sight" and the dying sequence was funny :D

I suggest that when the player dies, he can restart from the current level instead of coming back to zero.

I liked the narration too.

Obsolete Upgrade by RARoadkill 2012-08-29T22:49:00

Haha floppy disk :D
Very fun game!

SURV: Evolve to Survive! by Siegfur 2012-08-29T22:24:00

Good gameplay!
These green triangles are so horrible!! :D

Space Rig Zeta by AaronLee 2012-08-29T21:51:00

Neat game. I've killed the 2 first enemies but then I took the 2 "evolution things" and then a third enemy spawned and I couldn't fire anymore :(
The ship is also very hard to control but I like the way it is made!

EvoR by KingCeleborn 2012-08-29T21:37:00

Ok so you are new to game development? It's fine you've tried to make something with what you know! No matter what others tell you. But if you wanna do something better for your next Ludum Dare, you should take a look a some programming libraries like XNA or SFML. If you want to make a game that works for every OS, you should take a look a Java, or Javascript/HTML5. If you don't know where to begin, just google these names.

About your game:
It made me smile because it reminds me some old games I used to play when I was younger :D I love the way you've managed to do what you wanted with a few tools!
The only problem is that when i come back the the first room, I press C and type "evo13", no error message but when I press G, it says "You need the stone key" :/

Some tips:
- Arrows are better than WASD because some people (like me) don't have a QWERTY keyboard, so it's very hard to play
- If some things aren't working in your game, describe the bugs in your entry to let people know that it's not their fault if it's not working correctly.

Good job for your first LD!

How evolution really works? by keenblaze 2012-08-29T21:18:00

Haha Wonderfull!
I love the graphics of the background!

Rubicon's LD24 Age of Defense game by Rubicon 2012-08-29T21:09:00

Hi,

I've tried to turn your game into JAR. I did some progress but what I've got is not really a JAR. Check my changes in Screen.java. You can run it directly but it must remains in the game folder to run correctly. I don't understand what is wrong with what I did since all your resources are now in the JAR. Seems that when the jar is not in the game folder, the levels don't load.
(spent 1 hour for this).

Here is my gift: 0xg.fr/AgeOfWar.rar

Your game runs fine but sometimes I get "IndexOutOfBounds" exception and the game crashes, and the enemies are not following the path since level 3 or 4. At level 6 the game crashes. There's a bug: I can put towers on the path.

Good job for your first LD. I had the same issue at my first LD and someone helped me to export into JAR :D

Bacteria Infection by LittleGreenFlame 2012-08-29T17:52:00

I'm working on making your game easier to execute.
Honnestly, it couln't be worse :D

Dungeon Thingy (Unfinished) by JosephLittle 2012-08-29T17:27:00

Nice randomly generation!
The funny thing is that the monster is not moving if you don't move :p

Eatme! by AirRider3 2012-08-29T17:16:00

I liked it.
Demental was too hard for me.
I made a game quite similar!

Evolve 'em all by kill0u 2012-08-29T03:26:00

Your game is really hard. Especially for someone who sucks so much at this kind of games. I couldn't reach 5 stars in 5 rounds :( But neat idea and good job!

Gapaos by mipi 2012-08-29T03:18:00

Nice graphics style and gameplay but is there more than 3 locations? And what can we do against the ghosts in the black hole? I tried to shoot them but it doesnt do anything.

Neat idea but there is not enough content (or maybe it is to hard to find out?)

Snake Evolves by epicSpeedTurtle 2012-08-29T02:45:00

Haha my initial entry name was "SnakEvolution" but as the game evolved, this name wasn't accurate anymore!

Very nice gameplay but you've got a serious probleme with controls! Are you using something like a wait function? Because I would cause this kind of trouble :/

I reached the level 2 easily but I couldn't finish 3 because of these control problems :(

Good job anyway! This is the kind of game I'd like to implement!

I took a look a your source code and I've got an idea to improve controls:
I think the problems are coming from the fact that the key events are too fast. I mean that when an arrow key is pressed, (maybe) the user the releasing the key too fast and the boolean that is recording his state is set to false which leads to the key not being recorded.

In main.as, instead of registering Arrow keys state with booleans, you could register the 'lastPressedTime'. Then, when you wanna get the state of the keys you do like this:

if (CurrentTime - lastPressedTime < minTime)
// The key is detected as pressed
else
// The key is not detected as pressed

minTime should be something like 'timeBetweenSteps' (the time on which your proceed function is based)

It Will Grow by madameberry 2012-08-29T02:18:00

Nice idea but the game is a bit too hard to understand. I've tried a lot (all?) of combinations but only Ivy and Grape Wine worked. I think a little help screen who be neat!

Conway's Revenge by Nick Knowlson 2012-08-29T01:57:00

The kind of games I'd like to implement myself! :D
Neat idea. The only bad point is the lack of real gameplay (at this time!)

Good job!

Evolution of the Flying Pinatas by Zelen3d 2012-08-29T01:40:00

Nice simple game. Graphics are quit nice but when i killed all of them, and picked all of the bodies from the floor, nothing happened :D Plus, these flying things are not attacking or multiplying at a point so the gameplays needs to get a bit more challenging i think.

Evo Towerwars by Rialgar 2012-08-29T01:31:00

I played your game during more than an hour!
Best score: 2066
Best tower: 11.7 1.7 0.1

Nice game.
The only problems I see are:
- the bullets are hitting the previous position of the minions
- Performance issues when there is a lot of ennemies / bullets at a time.

Good job!

Chromasome by Jeremy Nikolai 2012-08-28T23:34:00

The linux version is not working on Ubuntu 32 bits.

Alien Evolution by Avichal 2012-08-28T23:29:00

Nice graphics but i encountered some bugs while playing. When i'm walking in the desert, i see a doctor sometimes but it dispears. Is it normal? Plus, when i get to the "town" i shot down the policemen, but i cannot go further because i'm sucked after the big house and there's no way to jump the obstable. What can I do? And what is the use of the wallets? Sorry but I didn't understand :/
