LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres (25)

Similize the Savages by silkworm_sweatshop 2018-04-26T00:39:00Z ♥ 1

Your sprites are adorable, music is charming, controls were very smooth, and the tutorial did a good job carrying me along & introducing mechanics. I really enjoyed the first few minutes, and then, as others have pointed out, the game seemed to play itself (except occasional robot rampages.)

Anyway, impressive work. Thanks for the game!

MyTurn BR by outbreak 2018-04-26T00:27:31Z ♥ 1

I won! Thanks for the game :)

Rex McFury: Public Defender by minibobbo 2018-04-25T18:50:58Z ♥ 2

Hilarious concept, well executed. Voices were sadly incomprehensible, but I just pretended they were saying something funny ;)

Thanks for the game!

VRn't by Michael Clavell 2018-04-24T21:11:28Z ♥ 3

This is a work of art.

The actual hitboxes and fighting mechanics weren't perfect, but who cares? I tripped on a roomba and was slain by ninjas at the SAME TIME!

Thanks for the game!

Space Trader by multiplexor 2018-04-24T21:00:12Z ♥ 1

Very nice work, and fun to play. Graphic quality is excellent, and the idea is simple but well-executed.

I would have liked an option to skip the (very slow) pre-level scene each time I died. It got tedious while I was still figuring out the controls and mechanics. The somewhat sluggish actual gameplay didn't bother me, and seemed fitting given that I was flying a cargo ship.

Thanks for the game!

Platform Hero by Rombus 2018-04-24T20:43:20Z ♥ 1

\o/ pico8

Good concept, & impressively polished for a ludum dare entry. I liked the visuals a lot.

A wee bit more in-game help during the rhythm sections would helped me a lot -- it took me quite a while to figure out that the first playthrough was "watch and learn" and then the second was "now your turn". I think it's a good idea, mechanically, but the mechanic isn't well conveyed to players yet.

Thanks for the game!

Meta Defense by ragnta 2018-04-24T20:33:36Z ♥ 0

I love tower defense games. This is a neat take, but I think the complexity might be too high -- I didn't really understand all of the mechanics at work. Still, I played for a bit and enjoyed it.

Thanks for the game!

Shootanoid by drludos 2018-04-24T19:26:11Z ♥ 1

This is a really neat idea. I'll echo what's been said above: the controls could use some refinement to make it feel like the player has a bit more control over their fate. I was very glad that dying wasn't super-punishing, once I got a few levels in!

Thanks very much for the game!

BREAK // HELL by Incredible Ape 2018-04-24T19:17:31Z ♥ 1

This is really fun! And very hard!

It seems very polished, to be honest. If you're looking to expand/elaborate, I'd love to see your take on breakout "power ups" with the twist that the upgraded projectiles come back at you :)

Thanks for the game!

Five Iron Frenzy by Brandon Anderson 2018-04-24T18:07:15Z ♥ 1

Now this is a golf game I can get into :)

Thanks for the fun!

(Car)ds by danes1111 2018-04-24T16:55:46Z ♥ 2

Never thought I'd say "I need to topdeck a left hand turn", but here we are :)

Thanks for the game!

Bebop's Breakout! by don.shinski 2018-04-24T07:25:09Z ♥ 2

I love the absurdity of playing a text game through a point&click interface (and with voice acting! Ha!) Nice :)

I got stuck really quickly, unfortunately, so I don't know how many more silly/absurd jokes I missed.

Thanks for the game!

Wordslide by TravisChen 2018-04-24T06:57:41Z ♥ 1

What a blast to play! The controls were definitely a bit wonky at times, but worth it. I really hope you polish and fine-tune this, it's a fantastic idea :)

Thanks for the game!

Kingdom Crush by Hannah19 2018-04-24T06:36:42Z ♥ 3

Very impressive first effort, and a cool game. The NPC art was excellent.

Well done!

Deep space - cards battle by Serious07 2018-04-23T05:33:03Z ♥ 1

I enjoyed this as a fun, straightforward shmup. I quite liked the music, too :)

I have to admit that I didn't really "get" the card aspect. If I understood correctly, each card represented the only "action" I would be able to perform (w/spacebar) until the next selection? Not sure. Is there any way to "combine" card actions, or upgrade the ship over time?

Thanks for the game!

Runnervania by BitJester Media 2018-04-23T05:19:06Z ♥ 1

Super fun game and cool idea. Physics were weirdly floaty but fine once I got used to them.

Thanks for the game!

Anysma by Chris Magnuson 2018-04-23T05:02:17Z ♥ 1

That was way more fun than I expected, and very satisfying to finally win :D

Thanks for the game!

Streets of Style by bendmorris 2018-04-23T04:48:10Z ♥ 0

That was hilarious and very fun. The sprites and animations were spot-on, & the music worked well with the game. Nice work :)

Thanks for the game!

Arcade Typing Shooter by Badical 2018-04-23T04:25:51Z ♥ 1

Loved your sound effects :)

Thanks for the game!

TypeBoxer by KScorp 2018-04-23T03:41:01Z ♥ 1

Thanks for the game. The random words made me laugh a few times, and also got me killed ;)

RUN JUMP TYPE by ppNovAqq 2018-04-23T03:00:18Z ♥ 2

Very cool idea. Like @niksg I really liked the discovery aspect.

There was at least one "blind jump", which was scary... and then the next spot I thought was going to be a blind jump just killed me :/

Checkpoints would be nice, too. The pace is pretty slow, so sending me back to the start felt really punishing.

Thanks for the game!

Puck Off by Matthew Roelle 2018-04-23T02:39:21Z ♥ 1

This game is pucking amazing and hilarious. The physics are perfect. I fell out of my chair laughing, the first time the announcer complimented one of my shots :)

I'm not sure why you didn't make the whole arena fit on a single screen? The scrolling was awkward at times.

Thanks for the game!

A Quest for the Musical Fruit by johnnysix 2018-04-23T02:17:16Z ♥ 0

MORE PLEASE :)

Yaxis by TimeLoad 2018-04-23T02:06:13Z ♥ 2

HOLY CRAP what an amazing idea. The moment when what I was seeing "clicked" for me was SO satisfying. Awesome. Thanks for the game!

The Fish and the Furious by Relsqui 2018-04-23T01:26:47Z ♥ 1

I love that in "chill" mode it's just a fishing game where I need to drive to a new fishing hole every 30 seconds or so :)

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing (28)

Spindulum by yuigoto 2015-12-26T19:23:00

Thanks for the game!

Fight Boý by ssodelta 2015-12-25T17:31:00

This was great! Thanks for the fun :)

Growing Xmas Tree by Webravenz 2015-12-25T17:24:00

Aww, cute :)

Qube Invaders by TheKB 2015-12-24T23:07:00

Inability to aim was frustrating to me (it felt like hitting the enemies was a matter of luck, rather than skill.) Sweet music and nice little game, though!

Let Me Explain by OwT 2015-12-24T22:57:00

Thanks for the game!

Jay in Love Garden by Namek 2015-12-24T22:52:00

Thanks for the game!

S(p)eed by Dayko 2015-12-21T23:53:00

Excellent fun. And difficult!! Thanks for the game :D

Cutesadoopsi by PizzaPranks 2015-12-21T23:39:00

Hmm, how long does it take to evolve the critter? Seemed like a cute concept, but I couldn't get anywhere :/

Donut Dash! by trexmix 2015-12-21T00:15:00

Seemed like a sweet idea (GET IT?) but we were unable to play because we don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel :(

Chicken vs Smoke by eprincev 2015-12-21T00:11:00

Heh, thanks for the funny game :)

Snow Goat Avalanche by loxo 2015-12-21T00:07:00

This is a fun little game! The title might be the best part :D

The controls feel really "jumpy"... I think because there's no acceleration between 0 and top-speed. Makes it very hard to make the kind of small adjustments that would be needed at high speeds.

Thanks for the game!

Shivering by ztiromoritz 2015-12-20T20:06:00

Thanks for the interesting and oddly addictive experience :)

Growing battle by S0rax 2015-12-20T20:01:00

The WSQD controls were unplayable for us, and the scrolling was quite broken as well, unfortunately. Looks like a neat little game, but we were unable to play, really :(

Rolla Grolla Arena by Xanjos 2015-12-20T19:56:00

I loved the idea, but we found very quickly that (at least with just 2 players) it was too easy to end up deadlocked. Also way too easy to self destruct. With a bit of balancing, this could be a fun party game. Thanks!

Stardust by Aaranos 2015-12-20T19:47:00

Thanks for the game :)

ScaleFlexes by ansoneh 2015-12-19T17:33:00

Thanks for the game :)

Orbital by OldPeculier 2015-12-18T19:12:00

Level 8 :D

This was a sweet twist on a retro classic, and I loved it. Thanks for the game!

Auxochrome by yuotta 2015-12-17T04:54:00

Very cute and very well executed game; I'm impressed! Unfortunately way too much clicking for my poor wrists to handle. Automatic rapid-fire, or else *significantly* less hits required to kill enemies, would make the game much more playable for me. Thanks for the game!

Handshake Sim by fixedgerald 2015-12-17T04:41:00

Bwaaaaaa ha ha ha :D

Almost the perfect handshake simulator. My only advice would be to add a few frames of invincibility after getting hit; I found it annoying to be killed from 2 health by a well-timed pair of obstacles.

Thanks for the game!

Robot Frost Eagle and Worm Big Rescue Adventure by sP0CkEr2 2015-12-16T03:50:00

Hey, another member of team made-a-game-with-my-kids. High five!

This was great. The first level was easy enough to forgive me taking a couple of minutes to figure out the mechanics and goals, which I appreciate. Mechanics reminded me of the old blockade/snake games, with an original twist. After a couple of levels, I found myself increasingly irritated with the robot frost eagle's tendency to aim for all the obstacles. CAN YOU JUST STOP KILLING YOURSELF FOR 3 SECONDS WHILE I GO COLLECT A GEM?

Thanks for the game :)

Birds of Borg by emmes 2015-12-16T03:38:00

Very, very neat idea! I think this has a lot of potential. As it is currently, I think the chaos of the initial melee makes it feel luck-based instead of skill-based. If I survive the initial melee with more birds than my opponents, I win. The AI is also probably over-aggressive. But these are pretty minor points: on the whole, this is a very neat, very original game. Thanks!

Nomnivore by Jelinib 2015-12-15T09:18:00

Graphics and sound were adorable, and established the mood nicely. Loved your spin on "2-button controls". Thanks for the game!

V BALL by longloaf 2015-12-15T09:02:00

Great game! Eventually got too hard, but I think I'll come back to it later :)

Reach by huminaboz 2015-12-15T08:26:00

Got to 3626!

The controls and goal were pretty unintuitive at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was neat and fun for a few minutes. Not clear if there was any kind of goal or advancement? Anyway, fun -- thanks for the game!

Let it grow by middenkwaaii 2015-12-15T08:17:00

Fun idea. It wasn't clear whether there were any goals or ways to win/advance the game. And the "change gravity" was really hard to use, because it felt like the controls became reversed. Still, it's an original and fun idea, and thanks for sharing it! :)

Darkness: A modular Audio Sound Scape by SineGlitch 2015-12-15T08:09:00

Thanks for the spooky experience :)

Ortogonalis by pjimmy 2015-12-15T08:02:00

The in-game instructions made no sense to us at first. Once we got used to it, really enjoyed it! I thought it was hilarious to choose to use 1 of the 2 button controls for "pause" while the other button does 3 different things. And the 'game over' screen really startled me! Thanks :)

Parse The Sky by dustyroom 2015-12-15T07:52:00

Nice graphics and music. We couldn't get used to the odd controls :(

Well, I *was* going to sleep...

Reindeers On Strike by toinfiniityandbeyond 2014-12-11T04:28:00

HA HA HA HA :)

RIZUMUDEKATTO by EquipeJAM 2014-12-11T04:19:00

Thanks for the game! You probably need to penalize dirty cheaters like me who ignore the timing and just spam the button :)

HexaPong by fancypants 2014-12-11T00:44:00

OOoooh, fun :)

Extremely challenging until I wrapped my head around it. Thanks!

Pixplorer by Nega Drive 2014-12-11T00:39:00

Thanks for the game!

Baldaquin V by Marcellus 2014-12-11T00:31:00

I like the idea, and I like the triangles :) Even with the tutorial, it took me a while to figure out the interface... and then once I got the hang of it, it was pretty shallow (in the sense that I didn't need to do any significant strategizing) and easy. Still: kudos on the neat game, and thanks!

Entire Screen of One Game by Tom 7 2014-12-10T20:56:00

Glow Drop by Gamepopper 2014-12-09T21:58:00

Thanks for the game :)

Castle Dice by cacciatc 2014-12-09T07:46:00

Definitely a bit of a confusing interface, but the idea is very neat and it's well-executed. Thanks for the game :)

Bloody Mess by karol 2014-12-09T01:19:00

Fun way to make a bloody spatter pattern :D

Pro tip: don't IDDQD and then leave the game running while you go get coffee.

Thanks for the game!

Final Swap by blackmagic 2014-12-09T01:06:00

Impressive! Very stylish, and a very cool concept. Thanks for the game :)

King of the Castle by adamwfindlay 2014-12-09T00:39:00

Thanks for the game!

Kram Keep by Knighty 2014-12-09T00:30:00

I'd love to give you a great rating, looks like you've opted out :/

Well: this is very impressive and fun. I got stuck on the lower part of the castle after getting the double jump, and quit out of frustration of having to re-do that long sequence of jumps, only to be killed by the shooter next to the ladder in the corner :P

Anyway: very impressive. Nice work :)

Cube Shooter 31 by cachila4408 2014-12-08T23:48:00

The controls felt really slow to me. Multiplayer was neat, and the music is very nice. Thanks for the game!

LD27 — 10 Seconds (11)

10 Seconds by 3ndo 2013-09-15T18:02:00

Resetting the letters every ten seconds: harsh!

Ten Second Takeoff by Taylor 2013-09-15T17:59:00

Cute. I enjoyed it :)

Who cares zombie-swingers from Venus on the Yellow Submarine? by bukt 2013-09-15T17:52:00

Very impressive, and quite fun :)

Hobaton Kingdom by Feffers 2013-09-15T17:29:00

I love the turn-taking mechanic.

Magic Power = 10x by Koltiman 2013-09-15T17:23:00

Impressive. It was a little tough to figure out what I was trying to accomplish on the first level, after that it was pretty simple. Twist ending made me laugh :)

North Exit by kazukishida 2013-08-28T03:01:00

Very scary, well done with the sound and ambiance :)

Waifu Quest by bryGPO 2013-08-28T02:52:00

goofy :)

Dirty Rotten Seconds by siat 2013-08-28T02:43:00

I think there are some bugs with resetting the game between rounds -- definitely seemed like I lost instantly a few times.

Really impressed with the music, and the overall polished feel. And fun!

Run, Bun, Run! by jsspiegel 2013-08-27T07:02:00

That was entertaining. Nice work :)

Hunger Clock, Literally by Vaughn 2013-08-27T03:42:00

Fun! The jumping felt a little off, and I couldn't figure out how to consistently break blocks. I am impressed :)

Shift by Taiters 2013-08-27T03:34:00

This was fun! How many levels did you make?
