LD24 — Evolution

Deerfeast Tribe by Detocroix 2012-08-27T06:55:00

It's not very clear in the game (sadly didn't have enough time to make an indicator for it) but if you misfire you get time penalty. If you try to fire in this time, the penalty resets.

So if you go to "click" loop you should wait a short moment and try again!

Deerfeast Tribe by Detocroix 2012-08-27T18:52:00

Congrats on the 100 meats :D

LD26 — Minimalism

Toastergeist by Nick Cash 2013-05-09T18:19:00

The rainbow special was a fun surprise :)

Friendship in a Post-Apocalyptic World by marnaouf 2013-05-08T17:22:00

That was really cool. The music and the concept was excellent! Feedback was a bit lacking because there wasn't zombie / gun sounds. Most of the damage I received was because I forgot to fight back the zombies :)

Pixel Ninja by Nsmurf 2013-05-09T20:09:00

I found the tato! Did you make the music by yourself? :)

AVoid by mokujin 2013-05-05T22:00:00

Very good use of minimalism theme!

Refraction by Huskitch 2013-05-05T22:40:00

I like concept. It felt a bit chaotic with 4blocks in the middle.

White Circle by delph 2013-05-07T14:59:00

This was one of the most entertaining game so far!

Twisted Dimensions by ixtermanator 2013-05-07T15:18:00

Nice glow on the player cube :)

the sunset by nhmllr 2013-05-10T17:25:00

I was certain the bear would eat my gigantic spider. I was pleasantly surprised :D

Arena by rogueNoodle 2013-04-29T17:04:00

Really nice visual style and nice mechanics too! Very polished style. The controls really confused me and much of the difficulty to me comes from pressing wrong direction. It could be a good idea to make alternative controls set for keypad? Then you could use 1,3,7 and 9 for more accurate directions :)

Hello World. by empireindustries 2013-05-09T19:37:00

I only got 1229 but it was a lot of fun :)

please survive by palsina 2013-05-05T21:51:00

I really like the design of the weapon :)

Pew pew! by Tigrounette 2013-05-07T17:47:00

The shield effect is distracting, but otherwise I love the visual style. It fits the theme very well and I feel it's very innovative little game. I recommend :)

GHOSTS - Minimalistic horror game. by bummzack 2013-05-08T17:45:00

Excellent mood. It wasn't scary as such, but very tense!

Moiety by aDFP 2013-05-07T16:08:00

Nice effect with the silhuettes of the shadow people :)

Cubique Noire by Detocroix 2013-04-29T08:30:00

Lamprabbit : You can jump with space or did you get stuck somewhere specific? :)

FuzzyWuzzie : Yeah the precision jumping definitely ain't the strong point. Price to pay from using just a physics propelled cube for character :D

Thanks for the comments folks!

Cubique Noire by Detocroix 2013-04-29T19:03:00

rogueNoodle : Lemme know if the issue comes on PC too. I think there's something in the physics simulated weirdly on osx. I've had similar issues with other games I've worked on.

Cubique Noire by Detocroix 2013-05-09T09:10:00

recursive frog : Oh, damn. Somehow I expected freesound.org stuff to fall to same category as usage of free-for-all fonts and sound generators.

Kill The King by Myyyvothrr 2013-05-07T16:14:00

You have a very good taste in color, it's almost like a cake as a game :)

LD28 — You Only Get One

a Pantless Man with a Clueless Plan by Detocroix 2013-12-17T05:26:00

Thanks for the comments everyone! My internet died right after submit and I haven't been able to reply nor play LD games.. Should work now! Time for some LD gaming :)

a Pantless Man with a Clueless Plan by Detocroix 2013-12-17T11:59:00

Will Edwards : Thank you! No pants! Trousers are banned from this world. You can notice both wagoner and bartender are both pantless too!

SnorinFrog : Thanks! I the walking sound actually is me knocking my table, so no surprise :D

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

RGB - Beneath the Surface by pixelpun 2014-04-30T16:24:00

Visually very very very pleasing! Remember to add source as this is a compo entry :)

Seafloor Defense by Zathalos 2014-05-01T12:58:00

This was very enjoyable. After wave 30 my subs decided to leave :)

Under the Sea by Luis Anton 2014-04-28T15:10:00

What is the number on top right? It stays zero on webplayer and I have no idea what it is. I would assume it should be score? :)

Managed to bang together 10 couples. Cool entry! I wish the crab was animated too! :D

Wormhunter by Thorig 2014-04-30T18:11:00

Very pleasing and pretty. I got some Dune vibes which is always a good thing! :D

Temple of Ra by Split82 2014-04-28T17:36:00

Excellent mood and visual style! Such as pretty little game :)

Attention to details... nom, this earns you a lot of points <3 I really loved how the tables shook when you pushed them the wrong way. Really nice!

Infinite Island by Andrew Adams 2014-04-30T16:36:00

Controls were a bit floaty and rotation didn't feel very useful or essential. Very nice entry overall, really liked the graphics and it was fun to play :)

Mole supervisor by callmemonamiral 2014-04-30T16:29:00

If I was a mole, this would be my job! Thumbs up!

Mine Story by donan 2014-05-01T21:05:00

Oof, the bomb was harsh. I dug the tile and tried to pick it up. BOOM! :D

Crazy Drill by calimeraw 2014-04-29T07:35:00

Fun and pretty addictive drilling game! Level 26 and 1030300 score. Quite literally needs more things that either slow you down or kill you, now it's mostly just drilling down constantly and occasionally sideways for oxygen. Still fun though! :)

Crazy Drill by calimeraw 2014-04-29T07:36:00

Oh and you need to upload source if you want to be marked in the Compo.

Balancitos by NickZangus 2014-04-29T13:11:00

Prettiest game I have seen thus far! Performance was a bit low but very interesting take on the theme! :D

Atomicle - LostAutumn.net by AutumnGuy 2014-05-01T13:20:00

Great feedback on destroying the cubes! Left right arrows would have worked better with my brain though :)

NOPE by shadow64 2014-04-29T12:27:00

That was really surprising turn of events! :)

Miner Rivlary by Zenton 2014-05-03T18:46:00

Hectic co-op mining! It felt like you had infinite fuel, it barely dropped at all which felt kinda weird :)

Shark Feast by carrier_signal 2014-04-29T12:37:00

Killer whale killing mechanics <3

Upstream by Viza 2014-05-01T13:35:00

The moodiest little chest snorkeling swimming diving game I've seen thus far. Thumbs up!

De Profundis by nicolashognon 2014-04-29T12:43:00

Visually pleasing with nice mood. Direct link to web-player would be nicer than small link hunting on website :)

Dungeon Jelly by Detocroix 2014-04-28T07:26:00

Nesis : Sometimes it's a good idea to wait and let the enemy come closer and then crush them! Running around easily results in jelly pile :)

Dungeon Jelly by Detocroix 2014-05-03T06:57:00

@GAFBlizzard - Negative? Not at all! That's a great critique :) It's the classic color wheel (3 main colors and their opposites). There are a lot of variants to it of course, but the 3 main colors and 3 opposite colors is what is mostly used. There are of course massively more complex color wheels and most of them weirdly offset too...

The jelly bits I intended to clean up after going down a level, but ran out of time for the compo. I would have loved to improve feedback in general (sounds, introduction messages, feedback messages (damage, crits), some more effects etc)...

One of the last moment changes I did was adjust the jelly health based on level and that was a horrible call. It definitely were better with what I originally had and colors were more important from the beginning... now, as you say, you can just blow through the first levels without even knowing the color wheel is important.

Also it probably would have been a good idea to add color wheel image to the game, might have helped a bit :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Kontroise by edibletoaster 2014-04-29T07:47:00

Haha, my cat went crazy from the start of the level sound :D

Simplistic, but enjoyable :)

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Collect the Crystals by Wiering 2014-12-12T23:06:00

Really cool! Is there a reason why you can infinitely jump though? It feels like a bug

The Screen Space by KickBack 2014-12-09T22:35:00

Very cool usage of theme. Thumbs up!

Contact Cowboy by jrap 2014-12-11T14:04:00

Fantastic! I really wish it had online multiplayer though... I'm the kind of player that "accidentally" watches what buttons other player uses and use that to identify them... :D

Captain Wupcroix by Detocroix 2014-12-09T22:47:00

@bobismijnnaam - You can see the chest, but you can't fully see it :)

Captain Wupcroix by Detocroix 2014-12-10T21:46:00

SusanTheCat : Yeah apparently sometimes Avast reports that Unreal Engine games have viruses (some older official Epic games too)... Your options pretty much are either trust my word that it is not, or just skip it :(

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

RELIC by CptDustmite 2015-04-21T11:38:00

Best entry thus far. Really nice use of colors and nice visuals in general. The character was perhaps a bit janky because he only "moved" with his legs, rest of the body didn't do much to support it, and I found it odd there was "high detailed" -style mixed with "flat no detail" -style. Especially when comparing the floating rocks with character :)

Vac n Smash by SteveSalmond 2015-04-21T09:58:00

Very polished feeling. Needs a bit more motivator / reasoning for robot part collection. I did realize that very fast when playing, but while killing robots and bringing their remains to the boxes, it didn't really reward you wish anything or so it felt. It was great to watch on screen and overral playability was really good too! Congrats :)

Fathom by Joe Williamson 2015-04-21T19:52:00

Very nice use of theme and absolutely fantastic visuals. Fun suffers slightly as the enemy bullets are too fast for slow poke like me to react to, but otherwise absolutely brilliant entry :)

Nuclear Autumn by phi6 2015-04-24T16:03:00

Phew! Wasted way too much time on "hanged man" before realizing there must be another way. Good game :)

A Good Gardener by C.Lodwick 2015-04-23T16:22:00

Supervisor has some crazy eyes when you approach him from "behind".Very pretty game! :)

Badass Inc by deepnight 2015-04-21T20:07:00

Perhaps not the best use of theme, but one of the prettiest games of LD32. Great work, great visuals, great mood, slightly awkward controls that could use some modernizing but otherwise brilliance as a compo entry :)

Death Cycle by WeaselZone 2015-04-27T21:30:00

Bravo! Brilliance! Awesomeness! Greatness! Absolute washing machineness! I really like it. I am a huge fan a washing machines that do weird things :D

Rock Of Sleep by SkullPixel 2015-04-23T18:52:00

Put some nice screenshot on the LD entry. The game is very pretty and the mood with the music is great! Don't downplay yourself nor your work. This was way better than average entry in compo/jam :)

LiceCity by Blister 2015-04-21T19:47:00

Really cool. Blame me, but I didn't read the instructions and I tried refilling "water" at fountains, felt pretty dumb after I read the description and realized it's bug spray and not just a water cannon to shower hobos with :D

Oh Sheeeep! by marinalucio 2015-04-25T15:30:00

Very nice visual style. Loved the little wiggly / ragged dolly legs on the sheep :) I'm surprised how many "one screen" sheep games there are in the jam, yours and ours aren't the only ones :D

Mein Sheep by Detocroix 2015-04-30T18:25:00

Jasonsumm: Love the pun! :D

I don't feel like shooting right now! by fragileannihilator 2015-04-22T23:05:00

This is definitely one of the most unconventional weapons I've ever seen! :)

The Harder They Fall by idoadler 2015-04-23T15:44:00

Was there no "outro" in the game? I removed all the shields from the ship, blasted it away with it's eye color balls, and it vanished without fanfare.

Eyebrella by hydancer 2015-04-23T19:29:00

Lovely frogs and great animations!

LD37 — One room

Granny's Day Out by Potato Dog 2016-12-13T14:32:00

I don't think this is the place to advertise your other projects, mate :/
