LD30 — Connected Worlds

Gate Maze by J.Barrows 2014-08-29T06:01:00

This looked anxiety inducing once I realise how the world switching mechanic worked, But proved to be satisfyingly solvable. More levels would be awesome. Felt good to play and the sounds were well picked.

DimLey by Simaflux 2014-08-26T08:22:00

This is simple and enjoyable, good puzzles and balanced difficulty curve. I thought the player could have moved a little quicker though, I was getting impatient.

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Seam of the Vultures by ohsqueezy 2014-12-08T23:51:00

This is awesome, and I thought the visuals were great, the abstraction works very well with the abstract gameplay. It's hard and I didnt read the instructions properly to start with which didn't help but well done.

Collector by Galan 2014-12-14T21:49:00

Would have been good if it was more 'game-like'. I fiddled around for awhile but couldn't really figure out any meaningful interactions between the elements.

Artful Dodger by Ashtom 2014-12-14T21:28:00

This was really well done, loved it. Music was perfect, controls felt great. the difficulty stepped up in really nice increments but I think the progression was a little slow which made repeated play throughs pretty tedious. fantastic submission overall though.

SideLands by MoltenMustafa 2014-12-12T02:29:00

very memorable entry, the jumping mechanic felt great, sounds were appropriate, I just enjoyed jumping about.

Mine Shaft Monsters by AxeTheory 2014-12-14T20:16:00

Good game. controls felt response, solidly put together, more monsters would have been cool.

Precise Shot by TimBeaudet 2014-12-12T02:58:00

Always enjoy bow and arrow games, generally enjoyed it, and hitting the targets felt very satisfying, aiming was a little rough. Music got annoying especially the sudden loud portion. Nice work though, challenging and fun.

Gingerman And The Christmas Tree by markusfisch 2014-12-14T21:59:00

very nice, straight forward little game. that last level was quite difficult to line the final jump up but got it in the end.

Bubblemellow by cinnamonmelonpig 2014-12-08T23:03:00

Nice aesthetic, solid platformer. The subtle animation was really well executed.

Boss Rush by Nick Weihs 2014-12-17T07:16:00

Really good, loved it. challenging and the bosses attack patterns were really satisfying to beat after learning how to deal with them. Good animations as well, this is pretty impressive for a compo entry.

Mr. Kaplan by lasagnegames 2014-12-17T07:25:00

very funny, the expressions looked great. Not sure about the rhythm game parts, and the text prompts were a little two far from the face which made it a little frustrating sometimes. Overall really memorable game, had me laughing out loud.

Meeses by 4sap 2014-12-08T23:31:00

Really enjoyed playing this. The enemy combinations make for some very challenging levels, but never unfair. Except the smiley face boss, not sure if my hits were registering.

Expression Quest by LevieDAudio 2014-12-14T05:57:00

quite minimal in terms of challenge, but the music and writing were good.

You are Green by Downtown 2014-12-08T03:31:00

Sorry no embedded version had problems with player dimensions

1 Screen by 6DownStudios 2014-12-12T02:42:00

took me a longest time and a browse of the comments to figure out about throwing the boomerang upwards. bit of fun once I got going, wasn't really sure of how to make any meaningful progress and found it really hard to get back the boomerang back once it was covered in letters. Music was good and made the whole experience more fun.

Culture Screen by gltovar 2014-12-08T23:43:00

I really like this and played for quite awhile, but as others mentioned it was hard to gauge progress.

Rainbow-Maze by grid96 2014-12-12T02:22:00

Nicely done, good puzzle mechanics, sometimes pretty frustrating, perhaps some of the pacing and movement could do with some tweaking.

Mechanism by p1x3lruckus 2014-12-08T23:14:00

This is really impressive, the gameplay is enjoyable and challenging, fits the theme perfectly.

Attack of the Sodas! by Upgradecap 2014-12-12T03:15:00

Funny premise. I was defeated but it I had the machine down to 3 HP, very exciting. Sorry to hear about your issues, good on you all the same, next time.

RandomRemoteRush[RRR] by AwesomeAlliterationAlliance 2014-12-14T21:39:00

had a few good runs, but found the experience more frustrating than challenging, the game itself is really well put together but I think UI needs to indicate time left more clearly and the difficulty needs some tweaking. overall though its really well done and once I got the hang of the dashing and jumping I got some good runs going.

Ram Dungeon by 01101101 2014-12-18T22:07:00

The graphics are great, game-play could be more interesting although the idea seems fruitful.

LD33 — You are the Monster

(You are the) monster gaiden by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2015-08-25T01:48:00

Obviously not really a game yet as you mention, but it looks fantastic. Could no doubt turn this in to something.

Holy Fenrir by NIGIC 2015-09-07T23:18:00

great work. really enjoyed this one, good music and graphics. hitboxes and feedback around combat was a little off, but understandable given what you guys achieved otherwise in the time.

El Chupacabra by marcosromero 2015-08-25T03:03:00

Really liked the audio and graphics. The Gameplay didn't seem complete, and I'm very suspicious as to there being 12 sheep in the map, I played both versions you submitted and searched the whole map over and over and could only ever find 11. the movement was a little frustrating as the move commands wouldn't override the previous command.

Great looking effort though, and I imagine you could turn it into a great game with a little more time.

A Monster Is You! by person124 2015-08-26T02:34:00

Bit loose on the theme as the colored squares could represent just about anything, but the game was awesome. I really enjoyed it, simple puzzle mechanics used in really interesting and challenging ways.

Stealth Yeti by cottontrek 2015-08-26T00:18:00

This is really good, most complete game experience I've run into so far. graphics, animation and sound were fantastic.

game play was really innovative. Perhaps needs a little difficulty balancing. I couldn't get past the 3rd level. I may have been missing something stealth tactics wise.

Shadow Fright by togie 2015-08-27T23:42:00

Music and mood were great. I kind of liked the fact finding aspect of it and could see that being successful with more questions, shame you didn't have more time.

Opportunity Cost by BlockyFish 2015-08-25T01:35:00

Interesting concept, got the point across well. It was quite hard, maybe I'm thick though. was a little hard initially to understand the gravity of any given choice, which was fun in some ways because it meant I would just spend up and crash and burn. Perhaps that's the point.

Wandering Monster: Pluto's Heart by Robot Souls Games 2015-08-25T03:26:00

I don't think any of it rendered properly on my machine(it was like the visual artifacts from each frame were remaining between the tiles) but I finished the game, it was fun and challenging, I mainly avoiding the enemies but had to hack through hordes in parts. I really loved your sound and music, it was a bit crazy and dissonant but I thought it was awesome.

Dungeon of the Mimic by Alpenter 2015-08-25T04:46:00

Felt really good to play, well put together.

Youkai by Nibble Bits Studio 2015-09-13T23:01:00

Fantastic gamefeel, great sounds, addictive.

All That Glitters by cgmorton 2015-08-25T01:17:00

Great game, took me a little while to figure out what to do, but the gameplay was enjoyable. the reduced vision when in chest form made it really tense. I wonder if the soldiers should have a little peripheral vision if you were to develop it further. Great Voice acting and music, and I like that you had variations for the sounds

Over The Course Of A Day by Blobo 2015-08-27T23:59:00

Really simple and funny. You do feel like a jerk playing it but the music keeps you pumped to continue. Could have done with checkpoints, wasn't so funny replaying it all to get back to where you were.

LD 33 The monster and your city by 2011petia 2015-08-25T23:19:00

Really liked your music, and the sounds were charming.

I read your comment about what to do first so I knew to destroy the buildings, I think it would be good for that to be indicated in game some how. The game play seems straight forward and fun, but it needs more more user feedback when you attack the buildings and a clear end goal.

They're Escaping! by DR_Humbus 2015-08-25T04:38:00

COULDNT PLAY IT

I think you've output this incorrectly. If this is a unity webplayer build(which it looks like it is) you need to host it somewhere. You need an HTML file as well as the game files but your link only has HTML.

They're Escaping! by DR_Humbus 2015-08-25T23:36:00

Okay got it going now from the link in your comment.

The graphics look promising.
But I Don't have any idea how to play it, I checked through the unity boot configure menu for the buttons but that didn't really help. Is the character supposed to be able to shoot?

The "you lose" text being a physics object was funny.

I think you Can edit your submission page. Might be worthwhile explaining what the player does and changing the link (most people wont see your comment)

MonSTEROID by blahgyn 2015-08-26T00:35:00

That was really good, music was awesome. Game play was really fun and challenging, quite hard but really satisfying when you get the hang of it. I wish those slingshot girls didn't fire the second shot just before they die. Final boss was hard as nails.

Such a good job, really enjoyed it.

A Matter of Survival by Cruzer_AU 2015-08-25T01:42:00

Pretty Fun. Once you figure out the tactic of running perpendicular to the shooters and lunging in between shots it feels pretty good to play. might have been better with the ability to run on diagonals though.

Room by shiroookami 2015-08-25T03:43:00

Mood and audio was really good. Interacting with things was a bit awkward, was there a set order you had to go through the objects in? I got to the end but mainly just by going back and forth over each area and discovering things were clickable.

Doppelhunger by Meat Us 2015-08-25T02:38:00

Really good Audio and graphics. The left seemed to be bound to 'q' rather than 'a' strangely. I found the dash surprisingly satisfying given that it was only a very short boost and the people ran at around the same speed as you, made every chase quite tense.

ALIEN RESCUE by mariti 2015-08-26T01:55:00

Interesting Idea. The Game play is a bit easy though. I think if the UFO couldn't fire non-stop and you had to time your attacks to intercept the shots it could be a really challenging and fun.

Nom Nomster by Waynetron 2015-08-26T02:03:00

Great gamefeel, awesome styling and audio.

LD37 — One room

Flower Shop by Jezzamon 2016-12-19T07:32:00

Great music. Nice simple idea that is actually quite challenging.

E-Cracs by bigoss73 2016-12-29T21:07:00

gets pretty hard. but well made, fun and responsive. and the graphics looked well put together.

Sweet Dreams by abcdef65g 2016-12-30T00:15:00

Really fun. Well put together, controls felt good. I played for quite a while which is always a good sign. Shop seemed reasonably fair although I found it hard to justify using anything other than the machine gun. The difficulty takes a little too long to ramp up but the enemies are interesting and add good variety, some balance tweaks and some more grooming of the visuals and this is a solid game.

Legacy by rojo 2016-12-29T03:20:00

Really Nice puzzle game, kept me busy for quite a while. Pen and paper was a must for figuring it out.

Magic Trial by dusho 2016-12-29T22:44:00

Really nice submission. Fun and Challenging.

Mega Mecha Control Room by rburema 2016-12-29T21:35:00

Awesome. Not sure if there was an end point. I played for quite a long time and didn't seem to notice anything like progress. I really loved your game though, awesome wonky art and gameplay. One of my favorites so far. This kind of game is what ludum dare is all about.

Unwelcome by Louspirit 2016-12-29T03:51:00

Had fun playing your game. I really liked the alien design they seemed really unnerving.

The Leaky Ceiling by SoulBound 2016-12-19T08:09:00

Liked the music. I found the gameplay a little hard to follow.

Gun Shop Loadout by Green Soda 2016-12-29T04:00:00

looked really good and seems like the seed of a pretty good game. controls were a little wonky sometimes.
