LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Endless Expansion by Hunter X 2014-12-08T19:54:00

Very addictive, I love it! With a little more work on the art and player movement this would be awesome :D

Entire Game on One Screen Original Title 1 by Derbdale 2014-12-08T19:50:00

Hahaha, wonderful gimmick. Nice work :D

Good Old Times by lekochen 2014-12-07T21:50:00

Haha, very nice

The Murderdome by RyanNielson 2014-12-08T18:58:00

Awesome theme, pace and audio. With more weapons and selectable characters it'd sell! :D

Test subject #4218 by Domantas 2014-12-07T21:39:00

Great little game in a familiar style :D

clickbox by rubna 2014-12-08T20:47:00

I love it, very soothing and the interface is very original.
I'm going to leave it running for a while and see what unfolds :)

SideLands by MoltenMustafa 2014-12-08T19:33:00

Black screen on windows 8. Title bar has the instructions in and they work, just nothing on the screen :/

Orb Fetch: GOLD by the31 2014-12-08T19:45:00

Wow, well done! Physics platforming with a strange movement restriction, love it.

GrayGrid by Pixelsalt 2014-12-08T18:34:00

Great game! Very minimalistic and a nice difficulty curve without any instruction needed :D

The overlapping spin-star parts are tough!

Brain Builder by Cheshyr 2014-12-08T22:23:00

Great little game, after careful management the numbers eventually go insane, but thats the power of the frontal lobe i suppose. Well done!

One Screen Game by swipefaststudios 2014-12-07T21:49:00

Not bad! Very difficult in spots :D

Too Many Windows by Linkigi 2014-12-09T19:39:00

Haha, reminds me of work. Great little game :)

Kick Punch! by KamikaziUk 2014-12-08T21:32:00

Can't play, needs xbox controller

gene by mpath 2014-12-08T19:04:00

A delightful tech demo, but not a game. Let me know if you disagree and we can work together on something :)

One Screen Many Jumps by Natura-Time 2014-12-08T20:09:00

A clean and simple game, very nice. Felt lacking in graphics though but great fun to play!

The Barely Competent Thief by Vacso 2014-12-09T19:32:00

I like it, nice use of limited AI :D

There is just nothing on by taaboo 2014-12-09T19:41:00

Great concept, well executed :D
I need a brighter monitor!

Fireguy by joppiesaus 2014-12-08T20:57:00

Hehe, a nice bomberman clone with just enough sense to not bomb itself :D

Carrot Chaos by GoudaGames 2014-12-08T18:59:00

On windows 8 it vanishes as soon as it opens. I'll try again later

Commando Finest Hour by Meta-link 2014-12-08T19:23:00

Lovely graphics and the gameplay is smooth, I had trouble fitting it all on screen though :/

Boobs Of War by Monochrome Bears 2014-12-08T18:39:00

Nice simple shooter. I died due to click tiredness, needs automatic weaponry :)

Dungeon Tactics by sensenmann666 2014-12-08T19:37:00

Great game, very simple and nicely laid out. For some reason none of the icons responded till I died, then it worked a treat, bash the cubes! :D

The Last Panda by Shimone 2014-12-08T20:43:00

Amazing job on a classic formula, well done :D
For 48hours it's really polished, a little variety and some alternative weaponry would have been amazing

Cycle by vicious_br 2014-12-08T21:07:00

Great game! The graphics really matched up nicely with it's theme. Damn hard toward the end when ammo is scarce :D

Snake Pong Invaders by Jack31081988 2014-12-08T22:11:00

Awesome retro blend of games, well done! :D

Advanced Pong by Gandalf1209 2014-12-08T21:19:00

A nice Pong :)

Little Town by Wevel 2014-12-08T20:39:00

Great little game, it crashes whenever a lumberjack tries to switch jobs, but otherwise it's fun to play :)

LD31_EGoOS by nofxboy1234 2014-12-08T19:57:00

A good start, needs a little more polish. Nice design so far :)

Space Pirate by maad9 2014-12-08T22:57:00

Nice shooter, the effects are great and the style is very clean

Ludum Fortress by EthanWebster 2014-12-09T19:37:00

Good fun! Slow pace at first then gets going later

The 5th Layer by Iak 2014-12-08T18:42:00

Nice bullet-hell game, the player bullets need to have more impact, maybe add a few fluff enemies to show that your gun does actually work.
Keep working on it, great start :D

Hidden Village by Cruion 2014-12-07T21:33:00

With a little more art around the icons and their meaning and this would be amazing. Good work! Really good :D

PIXELTRON by GameDevExtreme 2014-12-10T19:14:00

I like it, nice use of the theme :D

Screen Escape by concalf 2014-12-08T21:29:00

Great concept, done well and polished. Could use a 'boost' button to accelerate slow sections :D

ld31_goldrush by mauris 2014-12-08T20:55:00

A nice start, some method of detecting the traps would vastly improve gameplay though :)

Robo Pusher by WaffleWorks 2014-12-08T20:58:00

Where's the source?

SumoAttack by Blister 2014-12-08T21:12:00

Very nice, simple and well executed :D

Ludum Dare Pinball by iShadow 2014-12-08T22:03:00

Awesome entry, very addictive!

FindeTheN by b2 2014-12-08T19:39:00

Confusing at first but a nice little game :)

The JAMtleman by JeffBlacke 2014-12-09T19:28:00

Awesome little game :D
I thought it was still loading, then joystick kinda made sense and it all fell into place :)

Orion by gilead 2014-12-08T21:52:00

Nicely laid out gravity puzzles, cute audio to :D

Sheep enchanter by jsmtux 2014-12-08T21:36:00

Very cute little game :D
An option to kill the text and enlarge the field would be nice

Literate by Mokosha 2014-12-08T19:48:00

For me on windows 8 it crashes, catching the error in a dos box it's saying:

LD31.exe: Internal Error: OpenGL shader compilation failed!
AL lib: (EE) alc_cleanup: 1 device not closed

Welcome To Shady Pines by juxipolo 2014-12-08T21:16:00

Very nice puzzle, got a little samey but well put together :)

Santa's Last Stand by GameStudioLive 2014-12-11T19:22:00

Great work mate! :D

RoboHunger by bofink 2014-12-08T18:53:00

Nice start, I like the triggered action, though remove it's killbox after it lands and make it pushable :D

GameJam Tychoon by davesoft 2014-12-08T19:05:00

Hmm, you might be able to get it running on Linux using WINE, but I'm not sure vb.net translates well to Linux, I'll look into it though!

Game System by Catwheel 2014-12-08T21:26:00

Beautiful little game, I got the spaceman lost in the far-right nothingness but all turned out ok :D

Project 327 by jn327 2014-12-08T22:43:00

Love it, most tactical gravity shooter i've ever played!

Hackception by Gemberkoekje 2014-12-08T19:13:00

I can't seem to move with the arrows keys, I'll check back later and try again. Not rating this promising premise till I feel it in action :)

Hackception by Gemberkoekje 2014-12-11T19:27:00

Hi mate, could you include the source in your debug version for me? I get reeeeeally strange warnings when I run it and press a key

Hackception by Gemberkoekje 2014-12-12T20:37:00

Finally got it goin, great concept well done mate :D

Intense Wizardry by yokcos700 2014-12-08T22:54:00

Nice little shooter, beautiful lighting. Reminds be of GTA2 for some reason :)

Dodge Pong by Leo 2014-12-08T21:40:00

Well executed and addictive little game! I love the movement of the ball with edge-hits of the bat.
1 request, could you add a hold-and-charge move that does a big hit or a wider swing? would add some variety to it :D

Museum of DOOM by howieV (binarygirl) 2014-12-08T19:16:00

Hehehe, very nice considering your time limit. Damn difficult to!

Sword, Shield, Mregal, Fight! by shubshub 2014-12-08T20:11:00

A good start, could use some polish but works great :D

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

become a game developer in 60 seconds by unprompted 2015-12-13T00:45:00

A wonderful little game! I wish it had more levels, but alas, with such time constraints what can I expect? :)

You only get one vote. by eigenbom 2015-12-12T12:17:00

Only True art takes longer to appreciate than to create, bravo :D

Bubble Nibble by AriaMK 2015-12-12T22:25:00

Looks nice, got any source?

Ladder Grow by One Seed Fruit 2015-12-14T19:05:00

I got to 420 and 7 escapes before giving up, a nice addicting game. With some fluff and power-ups, it would fit in perfectly in an app store :D

A growing color changing RC-car by Pikkufighter 2015-12-14T18:55:00

Nicely done :)

LD34 rushed game. [Java] by that1guy232 2015-12-12T12:11:00

404 :(

EvolutionSandbox by togo 2015-12-14T19:10:00

I didn't expect a simulation! Very nicely done, a bit off-theme but fun and easy to understand.

Choppy Crop by komjaur 2015-12-15T18:52:00

Great concept and I love the little details in the names. The house was awkward to operate, but that's the point of the control style. Nicely done :)

Bargain Bonsai by Rscar 2015-12-14T19:26:00

Awesome game, innovative use of 'top down driving' mechanics :D

Slime Smasher by Anachron 2015-12-12T12:23:00

Cool, reminds me of old track n field games :)

3D Ball Roll by AmmarAlsharekh 2015-12-12T12:20:00

Hm, a nice start.. but Growing or 2Buttons?

CICP : the Center for Interplanetary Pest Control by Robber 2015-12-15T19:16:00

Very nice! A bit slow at first but the style and theme is lovely :D

Growing Ties by drludos 2015-12-14T19:11:00

Hm, do you have the source? I'll rate it after seeing it.

Thogh - Growth by sorle 2015-12-15T18:47:00

Lovely graphics, crisp and smooth. A nice game but a bit repetitive when you understand the birds :)

Ludum Vitae by Slothmachine 2015-12-14T19:18:00

Phantom game?

Growing Orbs by icereci 2015-12-14T19:49:00

Fun game, very difficult!

Vine Simulator by paradxil 2015-12-14T19:42:00

A lovely little game! I think I'll be playing it after the competition :D

Hardware Snake by Knowledge 2015-12-14T19:14:00

Haha, let me find my arduino. I could emulate it, but where's the fun in that? :)

Laser Pew Pew by adamk33n3r 2015-12-14T19:45:00

Nice game, much lasers!

Nationbuilder by killthealias 2015-12-14T20:01:00

A nice relaxing game :)

A Mold's Life by vrld 2015-12-14T21:35:00

Amazing concept and well executed, I could play it for hours. I think I already have :P

Night Radar by ranseur 2015-12-14T19:28:00

10/10 would radar again :D

Planeater by qristofer 2015-12-14T21:38:00

The graphical style is great, fun game :)

Grow Blocks by DeanoC 2015-12-14T19:15:00

Aw, any chance of a windows version?

Litterlings by Yazara 2015-12-15T19:12:00

Awesome concept, well executed :D

Squirrel Forest by Luminar 2015-12-15T18:58:00

A nice concept, but there's not much to do after placing the trees down. Maybe with some click option on the trees, like launching a seed it might feel more involved. Nice work so far though! The style is cool :)

Light Speed Snake by davesoft 2015-12-12T13:29:00

Haha, thanks

Light Speed Snake by davesoft 2015-12-14T21:41:00

Wow, your score was great! Thanks for the feedback. Making the window larger zooms the board in.
I'll look into that bug, shouldn't be hard to fix.

Thanks for the feedback guys, heartwarming stuff. I regret my 'external music' choice now... who cares about an extra 10mb these days right?

Converted to explicit 32bit by request of Knowledge (who made an awesome arduino game!)

I agree. Source?

Plumber Panic by Mr.Chippy 2015-12-15T18:42:00

Haha, nice inversion of Mario's situation. Could do with some powerups or a goal to stop it feeling repetitive, but otherwise great :)

Cube Wars by Chubb1337 2015-12-15T18:39:00

Nice game! Like a very low res hotline miami :D
