LD25 — You are the Villain

The Legacy by Swofl 2012-12-19T19:45:00

I really liked the mood.
Those boxy things on the ground looks a bit like shadows and I think they could have been used in more than only one place because it drastically improved the atmosphere of solitude or loneliness.
I can only hope that this atmosphere you have created will be used in some future game! Thanks.

Hamster Poker by BiceMaster 2012-12-19T19:04:00

Incredibly simple and pure joy :D

Critter Criminal by JaJ 2012-12-19T21:39:00

Super well done!
Not too well balanced... It feels like I'm a little kitten trying too hard to do evil deeds. :P

Local Mastermind by Nehmulos 2012-12-19T21:28:00

Cool game idea.
Even cooler is, what I think at least, the graphical style. It is very similar to what I used to draw on computers when I was a little kid, and this really inspires me to see at games as a simple interactive toy instead of what I've seen in later days in all of those AAA games and such. Maybe what I'm trying to say is that games doesn't have to be all that complex and fancy, just to bring out some joy by watching it tick :)
So for that reason I find the "mood" or atmosphere very simple and inspiring!

LD26 — Minimalism

TrackSurfer by fysx 2013-05-01T16:26:00

Very cool concept and really minimalistic and solid gameplay. I like the precise steering, but I had trouble with maximizing the speed, since I had to hold the mouse at the edge of the window. Maybe some other speed algorithm could be used to make it even more solid!
The graphical style is lovely by the way. :)

Composition with Yellow, Red, and Blue by DaveDobson 2013-04-29T15:27:00

Very solid gameplay. I really like it!

WhiteSpace by argo15 2013-05-01T08:29:00

Very cool concept! A few more gameplay elements and I believe this game could become something really great :)

Astral Offset by bytegrove 2013-04-29T16:26:00

Cool concept and cute graphics.

It feels kind of like playing two games at the same time, where you have this astral, calm world and the more action filled grounded world. I like the concept although I fail to see a relation to the theme.
I also feel that I grasped the concept after quite some time, and would have hoped for a few more levels as a reward! :)

... by Dir3kt 2013-05-01T15:48:00

The frustration was high on that tricky level of yours... I was sure I had to time the movement perfectly and hit the exact pixels. Tried that at least 20 times before I realized the trickiness :D

Bliss Wings by john_conder9 2013-04-30T16:26:00

I like the gameplay alot!

Nine Tails by dualtagh 2013-04-29T19:57:00

This...so...cute! :):):)
Also really solid and interesting gameplay, if only a bit too short for such a fun game!

climbing 208 feet up the ruin wall by Porpentine 2013-05-05T12:47:00

I enjoyed this more than I expected! :)

Cracked up when reading "wiggle your tongue to attract a small bird" :D

Distradiction by shines 2013-05-01T13:50:00

Very interesting and clever. I got surprisingly frustrated on the last level and was glad it was over :D
Pretty cool game overall and I like the fact that it took only a few seconds to grasp the concept!

Brian's School of Minimalism by DustyStylus 2013-04-29T10:49:00

This is hilarious! D- was the best I could do, but I'm happy with it :)

COLORUS by JokerDen 2013-05-01T08:06:00

I find nothing that I didn't like in this game :D

Random Objects Smash by Moist 2013-05-02T16:50:00

I would say at least two and a half minute of joy! ;)
The gameplay was truly solid and quite exciting. I found it very hard to stay alive when there were three large blobs shooting at me.
Very nice overall!

Cimi Mal by Jesper Oskarsson 2013-04-29T18:54:00

Very innovative and interesting little game!
I like it when the blocks are really cool when they react differently to their neighbors. Also the sound and overall mood is very nice!
The second level is a bit frustrating though, but when I finally finished it I was very pleased :D

Potato Dungeon by _Rilem 2013-04-30T19:13:00

This game I enjoyed very much! Thanks for making it :)

BEAPE by Xgor 2013-04-29T12:49:00

Overall I think it's very nice and well polished game, and very simple to get it going!
The earlier levels are a bit dull but it gets more exciting further in.

Minimalismizer by Diamonde 2013-04-29T16:05:00

Thanks for the comments so far and I'm super happy that you seem to like the graphics!
I must say though, I had quite some trouble getting into Unity's way of handling collisions, and I know it to be very frustrating when the game glitches more often than not. :(

As for the theme I realize it might not be too obvious, but the shooting results in enemies becoming minimalistic; they're transformed into boxes! :)

Between the lines by martijn 2013-04-29T12:12:00

It was really tricky on some levels, but the game is a real blast! I really like the graphical style and the actual game play. Super well done :)

Weapons of Minimal Destruction by bluescrn 2013-05-06T10:17:00

-668,160 :)
This game is so well done. I'm very impressed with what you've managed to do in only 48 hours!
Don't know what else to say.. I'm just amazed :D

The world is in your hand by jacklehamster 2013-05-01T16:34:00

.- -- .- --.. .. -. --.

True treasure of Kartoffelschloss by mortus 2013-05-01T14:08:00

This is indeed a true treasure. Very deep game and varied gameplay as well!
At the beginning of this compo I had the very same idea about leaving an item every level instead of gaining one, but didn't know hot to follow it through. You, however, did it brilliantly! :)

Gravitas by Walnoot 2013-05-05T12:04:00

Very impressed with how solid the gameplay is. It felt very natural to sling that other ball with the use of gravity, and every hit was satisfactory! :D
Really well done.

The Bends - Minimum to Anoy by TinyGolem 2013-05-02T13:30:00

I love the concept and the simplicity of the game. You've created something quite cool with the use of only boxes and a sphere :D
As for the playability I feel it would be cool with a few more levels experimenting a little more with these crazy level designs(which I really enjoyed in this single level.)
Good work overall! :)
PS. 38 seconds was my best (third lap)

Zip by Chronodrax 2013-05-05T14:34:00

Fantastic game! I even had to complete the "Game Over" and "Play again" levels :D

Minimalist Horror Story by MinionStudios 2013-05-04T19:01:00

Oh crap.. those bats were too much for me :D
This was really creepy, but very well done! The whole experience is so minimalistic and lets the horror shine through!

Procedural Island Happiness by nonatomicpaul 2013-04-30T16:01:00

I like the style and I had hoped to be able to play with the world some more. I think this kind of playground can be much further explored, because it's really cool and minimalistic! :)

BloxMin - by Lody - Ludum Dare 26 by stipple 2013-04-29T16:17:00

It was simple, and very interesting at the same time. I like the little helper dot in the lower right. It feels very similar to the hotter/colder(?) game we all played when we were children :)
The choice of colors was a bit though on the eyes though! :D

Be The Wind by dstozek 2013-04-29T19:33:00

Simply amazing.

the pretentious apple by Bluebutton 2013-04-29T20:14:00

Very nice concept and incredibly well executed!
I like the simple art, and love the music. Even more, I love the gameplay which is rock solid in the controls and the increasing difficulty.
So rewarding to solve that last level! Thanks for sharing this game :)

Line Quest by RandomSpark 2013-05-02T13:56:00

Amazing. Loved every part of it. A bit tricky to get into the item/monster representations but it was overall super cool! :D

CubeMaster by JimmyLord 2013-04-29T11:22:00

I didn't understand whether the colored cubes could be matched in some way and give more score or not, and by only letting the cubes fall I got double the score compared to when I tried to actually form some color matches.
The simple visuals was really cool and I could swear I heard the cubes crash into the ground before I realized there was no sound at all in the game :D

Budget Squad by deepnight 2013-04-30T16:40:00

Amazingly well done... I mean with everything and stuff! :D

Curiosity by geckojsc 2013-05-05T10:33:00

I'm totally amazed by this game. It's simply so good! :D

Prism by Tapestry 2013-05-04T18:53:00

This was too hard for me, but I liked the concept alot!

Saishou Sentou by Joshua Douglass-Molloy 2013-04-30T17:01:00

Truly minimalistic, and overall quality is very nice!
The music was mesmerizing and graphical style was not too bad. There seem to be a bug at the second level though, because it would never end for me. Some more levels of this would be awesome :)

RogueOut by badlydrawnrod 2013-05-05T10:51:00

The style is very cool, and I like the varying power-ups!
I would have like it even more if the pad could toss the ball away in different angles so that the core gameplay gets more exciting.

Ellsworth by chas 2013-04-30T16:10:00

Very simple, intuitive but interesting gameplay! Everything feels polished, and I only miss some ambient music, which I really think would give the last touch to the game.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Beyond Hope by manabreak 2013-08-26T12:03:00

Fantastic game! Very atmospheric and relaxing music.
The levels were increasingly more difficult, but not so hard they needed too many attempts, and they were increasingly more enjoyable as well :)

PAC MANy by namuol 2013-08-31T10:34:00

Very innovative gameplay! I like this game alot, but it wouldn't hurt to have some other sound that's nicer to the ears :)
Very nice theme take.

Small fish by Diamonde 2013-08-29T09:42:00

@Latcarf: I just tried building for linux but I have no guarantee that it will work since I haven't tested it myself. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4457955/LD27%20-%20Small%20fish/Linux/Small%20fish.zip

Five Seconds by Latcarf 2013-08-29T09:48:00

Crazy hard game but very enjoyable :D

Time Loopy by DaleP 2013-08-26T01:41:00

My clones seem to always get the better out of me.
I really like the idea and had some good laughs, even when I didn't make it too far.

Defuse in 10 seconds by archaeometrician 2013-08-31T15:17:00

How.. can.. this.. be.. so.. much.. fun? :D
Couldn't stop play until I actually finished it. Very simple yet enjoyable game! Thanks for making it :)

ESC: The Game, the Experience by Spaceoff 2013-08-26T10:51:00

I think the game overall is very solid and enjoyable. Too bad it is so short.
The graphics style is beautiful, and the mechanics are simple to understand and makes a fun game.

LD28 — You Only Get One

Pellet Run by Brodenino 2013-12-16T16:32:00

mmmmm... pellet..
I could easily play a few more levels of this game since I just completed the game two times in a row :)
The flow of the game makes it a very soothing experience.

Polytonia Music by Robinerd 2013-12-16T16:22:00

This is perfect. Super polished and quite challenging gameplay. The song is indeed a masterpiece :D

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

ScubaBear by _Rilem 2014-05-06T11:45:00

I'm so impressed with the amount of effort you guys put into this game! It feels so polished throughout the entire game, especially the graphics, music and the core gameplay.
One thing that may be good to think about is how the treasures that does and does not change the gameplay are presented. Some times I saw the cosmetic difference to the bear and understood that something had changed (like the weapon), but then the beard was changed and I didn't have a clue what to do with it.

I loved the game and I did finish it after some trial and errors. Overall it was very enjoyable. Thanks!

Ascendence by Diamonde 2014-04-29T08:41:00

BallpointPress: The selfdestruct feature is meant to get you unstuck if a certain bug would appear, and is not part of the gameplay. Sorry for the confusion.

P.F.G - Portable Forcepoint Generator by gabbsson 2014-04-28T10:16:00

I really enjoyed this enry!
There were some parts which could be more polished, but the game mechanics were executed very well. I think it was very simple to understand the basics, and immediately it got challenging and very fun to play.

What's Beneath? by Lerc 2014-04-28T11:41:00

I'm glad you tried drawing a paper game :D
The drawings really come to life when you can explore them freely, and I think you're onto something with this style.
I found it hard, however, to not crash into the check-points but with a little practice it was possible. Also, I wish there were just a few more levels to explore :)
Very nice entry overall!

Mine Story by donan 2014-04-28T08:58:00

The caves are so cozy! :) I'm most impressed with how complete the game feels - with all the levels, the nice audio and, of course, the great visuals!

Cubulis by Brodenino 2014-04-28T08:22:00

This is hard to stop playing once you get started :D
I really enjoy the simple and solid mechanics. It feels well thought-out and polished!

Gravity by jsmars 2014-04-28T10:53:00

Oh my wow. I almost don't know what to say. I'm so impressed with the overall quality. The game is so challenging and fun to play. Although the game is so polished I believe it is the global high score that is the icing on the cake. :)
Very well done!

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Dear Sister by Robinerd 2014-08-28T16:59:00

The mood is great and I love the music you make, especially when it interacts with the game! It is quite touching to walk up the labyrinth and I had an overall very nice experience. There is one thing I could complain about, and it is the sound that activates when one move too far from the planned path. It had me sit with one hand on the volume control during the game.
I also like the theme interpretation which I think is quite unique.

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

SnOwDuDeS by Dir3kt 2014-12-17T09:28:00

I love the smooth mechanics and how fun the game is! Very innovative way of combining the actual theme with the faux theme ☃.
One thing that could make the game feel more polished, and perhaps a little harder to play, is to make the player move more like one would move when skating (don't know how that translates into the simulation, but I would love to see it!)
All in all it's a great entry.

Chance Encounter by allurious 2014-12-09T11:43:00

Great humorous adventure game that I enjoyed exploring :)
I'm very impressed with the amount of content you have put in. Unfortunately I encountered a but where the "choose action" menu just froze.

Garden of Brewery, Science and Malice by mortus 2014-12-11T12:18:00

You guys really put a lot into this game, and that's impressive given the short time. I like the gameplay, however a few levels in, the seeds stop spawning for me. I may have missed some detail of how the seeds work. An improvement I would love to see for your next gamejam is to make it a little easier to understand what the user can interact with.
Thanks for making a really solid entry!

One Screen Many Jumps by Natura-Time 2014-12-09T12:50:00

Sweet concept. Reminds me of that "hot-rope-jump" in mario party, but this takes it to a whole new level :D
The difficulty progresses a bit slowly, but pressing shift a few times makes up for that! :D

Desk Top! by Ossi 2014-12-10T21:33:00

I laughed alot playing this little game. The Browser McCloud icon was my favourite^^ Only thing I would want to see is a time-trial or something similar and perhaps get higher score based on time and life points left.
Overall a very enjoyable entry! Thanks.

The Eternal Bee by palmar 2014-12-08T23:11:00

Super cute game! The audio and the graphics really play well together.

The Aardvark and the Manatee by Sanguine 2014-12-09T12:43:00

This is so adorable!
The theme interpretation is the best I've seen so far as well.

Little Snow World by rsergiu2003 2014-12-09T10:33:00

What a glorious game! I like the gameplay alot, but most I enjoyed the audio. :)

Escape The Screen by HappyTransportGames 2014-12-09T11:11:00

I really liked the concept, and the world felt very familiar (as I'm mainly a windows user). I couldn't understand how to complete the game, although it was fun trying!
