LD47 — Stuck in a loop (22)

Cursed Labyrinth by marbles 2020-10-24T15:53:12Z ♥ 0

Well done :)

Stuck in a loop-Puzzle Game by Tayfun 2020-10-24T15:38:54Z ♥ 1

I could see this game being used to teach kids how to code. Well done.

While (playing game){ havingFun(); }

Glowing Home by AlexTagtal 2020-10-24T15:33:15Z ♥ 1

I felt as though I was back in Paris where I visited from Australia in 2016. This game just felt nice, the music and the vibe was relaxing. I would only suggest that maybe a slight tweak with the difficulty, as some moments I wanted to just enjoy the game when I felt frustrated with a poor timing mistake, (that also could just be because I have had a beer or two so please take with a grain of salt haha).

I think this game could go onto be a commercial mobile game and I would definitely be a customer. :)

RunPower by mohmehdi 2020-10-24T15:25:25Z ♥ 1

Owww man! what a cool art style!!! Well done. I loved the simple concept and overall mood.

Grind by ChickenCastle 2020-10-24T15:12:14Z ♥ 1

I felt like I was on a planet in the Rick & Morty universe! haha. loved the art style

Easy Mode by BarelyEvenGames 2020-10-24T15:07:42Z ♥ 0

Wow wow wow! the controls were simple and executed perfectly, the player felt awesome to control. I thought the game was a bit easy until I met the 100,000,000,000 enemies on hard mode when I missed a teardrop. Thats was like .... OW F! haha. Well done!

Welcome To MILTON KEYNES by Lyje 2020-10-24T15:00:25Z ♥ 1

A simple game.... I say that in the best possible way. I could intuitive tell what to do and I just needed to master it, I LOVE THIS!. The art style actually matches the game play as well which is the mark of a good game designer. Well done :)

LUPINS by Psychedelia 2020-10-24T14:54:13Z ♥ 1

I liked the mood, I instantly felt interested

Fresh Harvest by Craig Cordeiro 2020-10-24T14:49:11Z ♥ 1

I do not know how you even begin to make a game like this in Unity. It could be easy but I have been using Unity for years and I wouldn't know where to start. Well done and I super appreciate the balance!

Chronic Curse by Diego Escalante 2020-10-24T14:45:01Z ♥ 1

Best game I have played so far!

Loop Trap by Knatt 2020-10-24T14:40:43Z ♥ 1

Well done! this game was simple but fun! I felt like I was playing a level from megaman or something. Great work

Orbit Jumper by Bentekiller 2020-10-16T18:56:31Z ♥ 0

My ownly gripe with this game is that it somehow felt too easy and too hard. I think if the physics were adjusted and the speed was slower, this game could be amazing.... you know, for like a real game, not a jam game. The fact that you have pulled this off in a game jam is bad ass. Well done!

I really enjoyed the simple graphic style and concept of the game. This is a good example (imo) of starting with a simple mechanic and stretching it as far as you can. I didnt 100% the game but I imagine you felt on the right path.

The operator by Hadik 2020-10-16T18:47:00Z ♥ 0

I don't even know you you coded the physics in this, well done! I think you did well in the time that you had, what I mean is that I think that it feels polished... that's very hard for any gamejam game. Nothing major is lacking and I wish I had your skills. Great work!

Toil of Pnamos by unpronounceable 2020-10-16T18:43:07Z ♥ 0

I like how simple this game was, I immediately know how to play. Well done :)

BrewBrew by aressler38 2020-10-16T18:38:49Z ♥ 1

Well done, I wouldnt even know how to begin to code a game like this in Unity (or at all)

Phone Tree of Despair by Jezzamon 2020-10-13T05:07:55Z ♥ 1

I cannot even tell you how much this game killed me hahaha!

Do-While-For by primitive-concept 2020-10-13T05:02:49Z ♥ 1

I have no idea how you got a game like that to be scary but you did it. I felt myself on the edge of my seat while playing. Well done.

Escape Velocity by Sean Holloway 2020-10-10T02:45:39Z ♥ 2

This was amazing! This is a game I think you should refine and put on mobile or tablets. The audio is so mesmerizing and calming, I love the piano key as you hit a planet. I would love to see this game in a version that doesn't have levels, as I felt taken out of the experience when the menu came up, It would be awesome if you could just jump from one plant to another as the music slowly played. I found it a little hard as well, I think that can be good, but it felt a bit punishing for me when considering the music, I am being very picky tbh, but only because I actually think this game has strong commercial merit.

It took a while for me to realize that I could change the curve, but when I did and saw my ship passing through my home plants atmosphere and shooting off, but then slowing and turning around, it felt really good.

This is the highest rated game for me so far. Well done!

Life is Loop by 4got10 2020-10-10T02:33:57Z ♥ 2

Well done, I really liked that I didn't even need to read the instructions to know what to do, this game was intuitive which is good game design, I really liked the pixel art as it was unique and I liked the music, some of the gameplay may of needed a bit of balancing (who's doesn't on a game jam tho), but overall a really good game for a jam.

The infinity - Pool bar by eptwalabha 2020-10-10T02:27:32Z ♥ 1

Honestly, how the hell did you get so much done! well done, your game has so much charm, weird as hell but charm. I really did not expect this. I left feeling like I had only scratched the surface, as I feel as though there must be tiny easter eggs and secrets. When we hit the hospital I was like..... no way! honestly impressive. Well done.

Luminous Edge by Yword 2020-10-06T15:13:12Z ♥ 1

I mean, screw you! haha. Your game is bloody awesome! honestly surprised this is a jam game. I think you could turn it into a pretty sweet mobile title if you were inclined.

Rest In Peace by Somnium 2020-10-06T15:06:36Z ♥ 2

I found this game actually really intriguing, well done. I like the story, even though it was simple I was curious enough to finish it until the end. :)

South by zchen 2017-08-06T05:04:15Z ♥ 0

Well Done! very atmospheric vibe to the game, was easy to understand what to do and the slow down effect was awesome! did you by any chance use unitys timescale to do that? love it

Legend of Sunflower by johnnydalvi 2017-08-06T04:59:49Z ♥ 1

Goog job, a little hard to understand what to do at the start but after i got a hang of it, it was good. Great work, different concept as well

Dim Wit by benbennett 2017-08-06T04:54:51Z ♥ 1

Pretty Hard, maybe because im using a track pad, i really liked it. double points for completing a well polished simple game

Influencer Tycoon by pst723 2017-08-02T09:08:36Z ♥ 1

I like the Coffee idea, made me chuckle. haha.

ZombieZurvivor by Mads 2017-08-02T09:02:32Z ♥ 1

Well Done, i got some good vibes straight away, i like how your scope wasnt way out and you actually created a playable game, double points for webGL.

LD35 — Shapeshift (33)

Shapeshifting Toys by barkergames 2016-04-27T05:21:00

HAHAHA!!! you used the same shrink/grow mechanic as my game, obviously im biased but AWESOME!!! haha. nice graphics n catchy tunes as well.

Magic Forest by Frederika and Patrick 2016-04-27T05:16:00

To export to webGL, you can just go Buld Settings<WebGL, Export. take all those files, add them to a zip, upload to itch.io select (HTML), not unity. and it should work fine. :)

Cadori by paragonpawns 2016-04-27T05:14:00

Very cool use of the theme, very to the point, i like how your game i knew what to do in a very short period of time, thats important in gamedev. well done guys :)

Metaforce by cicanci 2016-04-20T03:14:00

Very impressive feet for such a short period of time, I think the game has potential with a few tweaks of the camera and iron of some bugs i found. all in all i think you have done very well :) music was cool

Cat-Astro-Phe by banana.hammers 2016-04-20T03:08:00

Um.... WOW! reminds me of geometry wars obviously but to do this in 72 hours. you have done very well. its awesome! really glad i played this one :)

Creased by Cosine 2016-04-19T03:44:00

great concept, i think with a bit more time balancing and teaching the player could go a long way, well done though. :)

Battle of Britain 2 by SuperChihuahua 2016-04-19T03:43:00

very impressive concept, i like how crazy the gameplay is for such a short amount of time, i think that if you had more time you could add some nice polish and the game could go next level. nice work. well done :)

Light Shifter Temple by SengiG 2016-04-19T03:41:00

This game hit it out of the park for me! im blown away, Can i ask, how did you get transitions working? ie screen fade.

Infinity Access by Hyoga-3D 2016-04-19T03:33:00

HAHAHAHA, i lold. i love the concept.

HappyNest by Black Horn Studios 2016-04-19T03:31:00

This had a really cool feel and the web port was off the chain. well done!!!

reshapybius by psychonull 2016-04-19T03:20:00

very awesome!

Zorg's Crash Landing by ScottP 2016-04-19T01:55:00

haha, i love how the game works, i think this concept could be expanded quite easily in so many genres, obviously could have been picked up allot with audio but good work none the less, especially on making it available on web. A+ for that.

Shift the Shapes by Larzan 2016-04-19T01:52:00

Do i smell a mobile game in the works? seriously this concept would seem perfect. i love it. nice work.

Spaceshape by Saymon 2016-04-19T01:50:00

i like how you mixed concepts. nice work :)

Bodybuilding Simulator 2016 by V_V 2016-04-19T01:46:00

very impressive concept, i like how crazy the gameplay is for such a short amount of time, i think that if you had more time you could add some nice polish and the game could go next level. nice work. well done :)

Under and Above by Xinelu 2016-04-19T01:42:00

great concept, i found the difficulty spike a bit hard for me but well done none the less. :)

Squarcle by bagface 2016-04-19T01:39:00

hahahaha! best use of the concept i have scene so far. well done on creating a new style of game. love it

Shape Shooter by jbasinger 2016-04-19T01:35:00

This is the best game i have played so far. the only thought i have is sometimes its hard to figure out what "shape" you are. but thats me nit picking. all in all, very awesome game

Mountain Child by indiana 2016-04-18T12:35:00

besides the bugs that makes the jumping hard, i really liked the concept of transforming into diff characters. pretty big achievement for your first ever game. id expect more bugs from the time limits :) well done

Black Heart by luquio 2016-04-18T12:29:00

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing (19)

Saneedling by commanderstitch 2015-12-27T04:34:00

i saw your timelapse video, good to see.

Grow and Match by johnnwfs 2015-12-27T04:33:00

very different concept, i like that it has some challenge thats well though out as apposed to being challenging just because of bad coding, well done :). a soundtrack could have gone a long way but i enjoyed it none the less

Lane King by LukeZaz 2015-12-27T04:28:00

overall its a really cool concept. it was surprisingly hard when you got going to remember to click certain areas.

Space Beards by Gjarble 2015-12-27T04:25:00

ahahhaahaha LOVE it!!!

It's Full of Stars by incobalt 2015-12-27T04:23:00

Dopest Sphere Around - Pandaman3D by Pandaman3D 2015-12-21T00:20:00

couldn't get it to play, try webGL.

Luotsi the Maritime Pilot by Lusmu 2015-12-14T11:51:00

Unity Web Player is outdated, i think its better to use webGL.

Sole Three by Pikace 2015-12-14T11:51:00

Unity Player is outdated and web has to be "WebGL" now

DRUNK GROW GROW by CaptainNakou 2015-12-14T11:50:00

become a game developer in 60 seconds by unprompted 2015-12-13T12:20:00

VERY COOL CONCEPT

3D Ball Roll by AmmarAlsharekh 2015-12-13T12:16:00

Good use of primitives, like that you have matched the colours

LD33 — You are the Monster (15)

Just RAAWR it ! by Strike 2015-09-05T11:40:00

Simple concept, great execution. In a word, Raawr-some!

No idea what the purpose of chasing the police is but HEY THEY'RE RUNNING! HAAA! GET THEM!

10/10 will Raawr again. =)

pyinpyang by undefinist 2015-09-05T04:39:00

nice, simple game :)

Ork's Dungeon ( DarkDes Dungeon ) by DarkDes 2015-08-25T10:11:00

An awesome, simple little game that fits well with the theme. The sprites are great, lighting is cool and the animations and effects well done - though could use a little feedback on the sword attack, feels weird, unsure if you're connecting or not.

A good idea, would like to see it expanded on, could make a great game.

-T

CuteAlienSlaughter by Electron 2015-08-25T10:01:00

Cool little game, had more than a few goes before stopping to write this. The randomised levels mean that some are quite hard, others very simple. Not a bad thing, shakes it up a bit.

The camera shake was a bit much, a good idea but a bit overused, save it for the big stuff perhaps. I like all the particle effects and how everything seems a bit explodey though.

All in all, good fun.
-T

Free Medusa by LPeter1997 2015-08-25T09:17:00

This is a great entry, good work! I'm not normally a fan of puzzle platformers but I genuinely enjoyed my time with this one.

The sprites were well drawn and the animations smooth and enjoyable. The tileset background looked a little rough in parts though.

I'm impressed with the variety of ways you managed to demonstrate the main mechanic. Overall, an innovative idea with a lot of potential, I think if you were to expand on it and polish it up a bit you could have a great little game on your hands.

-T

Young Bicycler Adventurer by CAT_IN_THE_DARK_WOOD 2015-08-25T08:54:00

This game is great! I had to force myself to stop to be able to write this.

It's hard but you want to keep trying. Had me laughing out loud the whole time. The music is perfect and the graphics are smooth and very well drawn.

Damn those Mummies! Get out of my road!

- T.

You are the Monster by funkysquid 2015-08-25T08:45:00

Quite short but still fun, a good idea.

The controls are a bit strange, attacking pretty much replaces moving once you realise it's essentially the same thing but I still enjoyed the way they worked.

I thought the graphics were good, the sprites are simple but the animations are smooth and enjoyable. I also liked the lighting and the 'slime' trail you leave behind when you move. Good work.

- T.

Cursed by LD_LAN_Party 2015-08-25T08:32:00

You can't really achieve much, so it's not exactly heaps of fun to play. It's still funny though and an innovative idea with some good potential; that fits in well with the theme. Good work.

- T

Virion Alpha by Bloodyaugust 2015-08-25T08:07:00

This game was intense! well done !!!! really innovative. 5 Stars for that

Monster Chips by derugin.s 2015-08-25T07:43:00

great concept and great audio and graphics. without reading the description it was hard to know the objective within the game.

You are the Hero by rotpar 2015-08-25T07:35:00

Highest rated game i have rated so far! love the feel and the art especially! i almost dont believe that this is your first game

My Cup of Fury by One Seed Fruit 2015-08-25T07:31:00

Not bad, i liked the interesting mood of the game. FYI you should tell poeple they have to full screen for the controls to work :)

The not so terrible by Vaclav 2015-08-25T07:28:00

I really liked the style of game. kinda like a bad zelda majoras mask but in 2D. i mean that in the most positive way possible

Justice Five by randoman 2015-08-25T07:24:00

i really liked the audio, however the objective was pretty unclear within the game and couldn't figure out how to kill the enemy.

The Cauldron of Humanity by Lashiz121 2015-08-25T07:23:00

I liked the concept

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon (32)

Potato Peeler by eskivor 2015-04-29T12:21:00

I liked the look of potato and the peeler, but the audio was buggy and the overall graphics could of been better rounded out to be consistent.

Pong Tank by kirbytails7 2015-04-21T07:17:00

Nice man, i loved the mood

Dirk Sharp in 'AN UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPON' by oatsbarley 2015-04-21T05:10:00

Not a bad looking game mate, well done :)

Rainbow Tank by ManicMiner 2015-04-21T03:26:00

reminds me of "Smash TV" on the nes. really fun and brought back some cool retro memories. i enjoyed this game and think it has potential to continue. the audio was pretty strong too. good work!

LOVE: An Unconventional Weapon by Cherrymochi 2015-04-21T03:23:00

This game i had to stop playing... only because i knew i would get sucked in and wouldnt get around to playing anyone elses. i love how you can choose a fairy and i have a soft spot for fairies as that was my first deck of yugioh cards...... super nerd here. haha anyway well done. you got high ratings from me :)

Hugline Miami by Figglewatts 2015-04-21T03:18:00

NO TIME TO EXPLAIN: GET IN THE LLAMA by Nidar 2015-04-21T03:15:00

This is the best submission i have played so far. so twisted and fun hahahha. nice work

SHiFT by Fanttum 2015-04-21T03:11:00

WELL DONE! its awesome to see a game created that actually uses some sort of non written tutorial (when you switch the gravity and the red dude dies demenstrating that is how you kill enemies. also the graphical style and gameplay elements are very similiar to my ios game so i love it :) tinyurl.com/galaxyc

Ted's Quest by notrorschach 2015-04-21T03:05:00

Hahaha, well done, works quite well and the pick up system works better thenn expected. :)

Well done, i like the style of graphics and the simple but fun gameplay :)

Paper Freedom by SpartanIceCream 2015-04-21T00:24:00

Very cool idea and you have deffinetely put in some serious work to get the game to look and feel like tat, i enjoyed it. well done :)

Skyblade by sharpcoder 2015-04-20T05:13:00

hahaha i found this game pretty awesome and with some fine tuning could probably be made into a project that i would buy on a console. well done mate.

The Panda Shoot n Scoot by ErikU 2015-04-20T03:31:00

Besides the game crashing here and there i say well done :)

the name of the game is grab by fserb 2015-04-20T03:21:00

very quick and responsive game, i love how you have coded this thing to work well online. the game was hard until i read the instructions and i realized i could move around hahhaha. good work

Type Commander by Matsuki 2015-04-20T03:18:00

i actually really enjoyed this game, well done! the UI wouldnt display correctly when i typed things though....

Do as I say by Ludipe 2015-04-20T03:08:00

This is such a simple but awesome concept that im hitting myself on the head wondering why i didnt think of something as cool, well dont mate, i think that the controller could have had a little more work but the general game is great

Interesting but a lack of a tutorial made the game a bit confusing at forst. well done with the art style and mood. :)
