I finally made it to level 9, but DANG, it's hard!
I think it's too easy to die
love the graphics and style of gameplay. Though the resolution seems a tad too high. I can't play it well on my laptop which maxes out at 1366x768
cool little concept, I really dig the graphical style
It seems pretty easy once you get to the first trampoline. You don't really need to restart. Had fun playing this one, thanks!
Great idea and execution!
nice little breakout-style game you got here, keep at it dude!
That was pretty hilarious. When I heard "YOLO" I went into a murderous rage. Good job!
I really didn't like that the players were invisible. But everything else was great! I really liked the audio, graphics and the concept.
love the concept and very well done. I'm not sure if it can be beaten or not: I got to the statue of the TP sheet in the third level but nothing happened when I touched it
Fun to challenge yourself to get orders faster and remember more. Would be interesting to have multiple difficulties where the number of orders increases, perhaps appearing after you beat the game once. A progress bar on how far you are would be nice too
Love the Kirby-esque sprites here! The tiles were well done. Your enemy sprites are awesome!
This is a lot of fun. Really great game. We got three people together and played a few rounds. Really wish you could support more than two people at the same time, though!
I was unable to run this. Black screen for me :(
sorry man: I'm getting the same error as others where it closes as soon as it starts up: that's.... that's not part of the game right?
cute concept, though doesn't seem like much of a game: seems like you just wait and get money/swag, there's no challange
Funny idea! At first I was like, what this is dumb. Then I realized you could line up the zombies and kill them all with one throw if you're good and then I was like daaaamn. So in the end I liked it! You have some small typos in the text :)
haha, great concept! I really dig the graphics. Though 'G' for jump? weird control choice
This had a lot of potential. I really liked the flying memory.
All my favorite ingredients! Shady cabinet lettuce, barrel tomato, hole-in-the-ground ham and topped with Wisconsin cheese. Retro-licious!
Very difficult, but good graphics and audio!
I am also getting the gameover error. Interesting use of the theme with RPG Maker. The bandit is very hard to deal with.
I really did not expect a ghost to come through the wall like that. I ran away and tried to lock it in a room, but it kept coming!
I had a really hard time with this and I couldn't really tell what was going on. At some point, I realized that I was being teleported, and that's when I gave up. I really like the ambiance and the sound, but I wish there were something in the game to give me an idea of what was happening.
So you just lose if you miss a shot, right? That kind of killed the fun for me after I realized that. I never got my bullets back after missing a shot. I really liked the gameboy-esque chiptunes though, they really helped the experience.
Definitely an interesting tag game, but I hit a lot of collision glitches while playing this, which appeared to freeze my game after I got in the van. (The game got stuck and never ended.) The screams were really loud and repetitive. And wait, hold the phone... after I get turned into the monster, I can still drive away in the van?
I didn't really get what I was supposed to do... I found it too easy to get Tanri stuck in a lot of weird places, and my screen for some reason wouldn't stop shaking. (I could fix it by clicking Center Follower.) Tanri seemed like she got hungry WAY too fast. Really liked the audio and graphics, though. Looks like it has a ton of potential.
I like the hand-drawn graphics and physics. Funny but very hard. I don't get the brazilian references, though... :P
I really really like this game, but I might be a bit biased since I love bullet hell. :D This was a ton of fun, if not a little hard. Awesome!
It was fun to pick various life choices. I feel like the results of your actions took a long time to affect the outcomes it seemed. Fits with the theme. Good job!
This fits with the theme, although the flavor text is a little dark. To be honest, this style of turn-by-turn game is not my cup of tea, but the graphics are really good, and the audio is well done.
Nifty! Really enjoyed playing this one. Really, really loved the 90s MIDI style audio, was totally classic. Some of the guns seemed really weak, though. The super slow rate firing blob gun plus like 4 boss spawns in a row proved lethal. Thanks for the fun!
This was pretty cool! Although I just accidentally the whole level.
Very interesting, really liked the glass breaking effects. Had fun smashing things, as always! :P
I really really enjoyed the water effects in this game. The graphics are very good.
Also, by the way -- can you give my game another shot? I don't know what was up with it for you, but we haven't seen that problem in a while and it it's preventing people from playing it I'd like to make sure we get it right :)
Didn't work for me, just printed out a stack trace and died :/
Graphics are phenomenal, although the gameplay is a little weird. The black hole I thought would kill me for sure, but... it didn't.
This game is gorgeous. The sun effect is stunning! Really enjoyed playing it, thanks for the great work!
Air controls were weird, but I liked it. I didn't get the "remove a control" screen and thought the game had crashed and accidentally gave up. Good work though, had fun playing it.
I loved the controls for this game, it was great! I actually liked the controls in the LD version better than the post-compo version. Same for the audio. Great work!
I did it! Not sure what I did, but I did it! I loved the visuals and mood, but didn't really get what I was doing. Good work, though, enjoyed it!
This is really well done. Fantastic puzzler. Didn't finish it, though... got really hard!
Interesting game, although I died really quickly.
This game is VERY hard. Needs some sort of continue system. And I'm not really sure, but it looks like the game freezes when you die? Really, really loved the audio though, that was worth it. The sprites desperately need a tune up.
It says I did it in 0 clicks! Haha, the bottom left corner tells me 467, though. Very simple game, very easy to understand and VERY fun. This is a great entry, fantastic work!
Everyone runs away, all at once :/ I can't seem to keep them around! That said, this game is REALLY good, and tons of fun. Had a blast playing it, good work!
really neat concept you got here, but man level 10 is freaking hard, eventually just gave up there
This game has some of the best audio I've ever seen in an LD game. Period. This is REALLY good, and I really enjoyed it. Thank you!
I don't know what this is, but it sure is pretty
nice little simple game you got here, I really like the animation on the guy holding the balloon
Very good platformer, very retro. I enjoyed it for sure. Did not like that I died when I touched the edges of the screen, though. Good work!
very cool that you got this all running in a textbox, though I think there may be something wrong with my eyes cause I found myself losing track of my player a lot(maybe you're even poking fun of that with the eye test?). Still had a lot of fun with this one though, very well done!
very clever game, took me awhile to realize the significance of the level-end stat choices. Once you do, the theme really comes together. Nicely done!
I jumped. I also think I was eaten by a grue. VERY good graphics and mood. Great game.
Tried to figure out if sound was tied to gameplay, but it wasn't. Fun and definitely plays to the theme well.
neat little demo, but as there wasn't really much of a game or anything todo other than paint colors on the screen, I'm afraid I didn't feel any real incentive to keep messing around with this
Movement seems very fast, it's hard to control. Interesting concept though. I like the ambience though
Did not work on Windows 7 x64.
Very cool, I love the colors and the one button play. Great artistic game.
So I made it to level 2. Then I made it to level 0. I was pretty confused. It sounded nice, though.
I couldn't get this to run :/
Really liked this one, wish it was longer. I found that it very much rewarded button mashing. Good work!
Very cool, I loved all the particles spinning around. A very pretty take on shooters.
Simple, I like the black and white high contrast motif.
definitely my favorite of the LD so far, this game is perfect!!!! IT DOES EVERYTHING RIGHT
it's a game about mechanics, not levels: that's genius! elmismopancho: you won this man, you won this
I haven't been able to run this... The web player doesn't work and I get "Unable to find the main class: Runner."
I got stuck :/ It wasn't clear to me how to get into the transportation chambers. Might just be that it's 3 AM, but I gave up. Otherwise good game, though... really enjoyed the music and gameplay.
I really liked the "Hello, hello" intro. The game itself is WAY simple, though, and it needs more levels.
That said, the LOL U DIED screen scared the shit out of me (and actually angered me quite a bit). Pretty sure I woke up my roommate.
Good music, great pixel art. Not all of the objects were obvious, especially the plunger. Shoving the rastafarian in the closet made me giggle.
The audio in this game is really well done. I was a super fan of it. Unfortunately, I found the controls really hard to use and didn't really get far enough to see the theme execution.
Very fun! I really liked the graphics, and definitely the music! Very retro, I like!
Well it doesn't get much more minimalist than that.
this party be ballin yo
Laughing my ass off at the moment. Thank you for that.
I could imagine that not everyone would be able to see the little dot, but I could, and I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
Doesn't get much simpler than Ball & Cup! I loved the fruit names, very simple game and easy to pick up.
I didn't get what would happen if I finished. Neat idea, but I didn't get the goal. Was fun while I made as many connections as possible.
Loved the mood of this game. Pressing Z broke my sheep's neck, I think.
This game really caught my eye. It has great visuals. That said, the game itself is a little shallow as there is exactly one winning strategy and towers are pointless (a waste of valuable resources). There's no continuation or progression, though, and that would add another layer on top of an already great game.
The javascript alert was REALLY annoying. I honestly don't think I can lose, there was literally no challenge... Was kind of hoping I'd end up finding a goat under one once. :P
This game resized my desktop and made all my windows funky sizes. Also, the collision seems a bit off, as I could manage to get myself stuck inside walls. Interesting concept, though.
That the last level was randomly generated bugged me a little as it was VERY hard. The rest of the game was really good, and I especially appreciated the lighting effects. Good job!
No single player. :( A public server would have really, really helped here.
Extremely minimalist, with just a piece of paper and die. I like it. Didn't get a chance to play, but really liked the write-up. Good job.
Theme was well executed. Was very sad that the game crashed after level 3. Very short. I agree that the implementation could be way better, but I like the idea.
This game is very, very difficult. I had problems with the platforming and eventually gave up. The music, while really good, got really irritating as it restarted every single time I died. It has a ton of promise, but I personally found it too difficult to stick with. If it were just slightly easier, I think I could find myself enjoying this quite a bit.
Very cool... Very deep. Really enjoyed the ending. The controls were a little weird when there was no gravity, but I was essentially unstoppable at that point, so it didn't matter. *spoiler alert* Giving up hatred was a fantastic idea for the ending.
I was a little confused, but I loved the art! Fun and interesting. Good work!
I finally got it... It's really freaking hard, and those little explody things really screw you over. Very simple, but interesting concept.
I like the concept a lot, though I wished it was a bit faster and more challenging. It just started getting a bit hard on the last level, just as the game was ending.
Ha! The audio was great! Quote to my roommate: "MY GOD, THE CATS ARE SHITTING EVERYWHERE!"
What. How did I even find this. This thing in incredible, just chilling around at Ludum Dare, no big deal... this thing is insane. This game is the REAL DEAL! FanTASTic graphics, incredible gameplay and level design... bravo!
the sound and animations in this are super satisfying, really well done
interesting take on a rhythm game; I really like the status messages after each level
Very interesting concept. The starting hands seem to unbalance the game a little, but overall, great work!
very cool; thought it was gonna be frustrating to control, but it actually works really well once you get used to it: smart
I love the concept and humor. Nicely done!
Minimalism = the smallest possible audience for your game. ;) I'm very impressed you actually built a matlab game for the 48h. 5 stars for theme. :D
I really like the idea of attaching body parts to make yourself stronger. Very gruesome and great mood. The graphics are really, really good.
Good graphics and audio. The laser uses up a TON of health, and it was frustrating to try to figure out why I was losing so quickly. Still, good first LD!
this is really cool. I love the enemy designs and the approach to aiming/shooting. Maybe I just didn't play it long enough, but I kind wish there was more of this, it's a awesome concept warranting more fleshing out
interesting concept you had here. I like the controls and gamefeel your character had, but like other people have said, there doesn't really seem to be much of a challenge, at least not at the beginning
Really awesome game you got here. I love the graphics and atmosphere it has.
The brute was very, very confusing. For the record, I had to type in "He admires the brute." Which I believe is the only possible right answer, and it was a 'brute' force (no pun intended) search in trying to figure it out. Lots of potential for a text/click adventure, though, and good use of the theme.
very cool! I really like the art style and the progression of enemies introduced throughout the game
cool concept. Fits the theme really well. We had a lot of fun playing hotseat!
This game is sick. Great work. I loved the T-Rex on the computer! Such a great concept for the game.
love the game! knocking wall decorations into soldiers is oddly satisfying
I love the concept! This is easily one of the most unique approaches to the theme I've seen so far. The controls are a little weird and it seemed too easy, but other than that, great work.
Not working on OS X 10.7.5 default Java. :(
The theme just didn't come together. That said, however, this game has TONS of potential. I love the mood and the levels. The idea is great -- the art and the sound is just icing on the cake. Even though you didn't get the theme, great work, and I hope to see more.
Buggy -- I started getting killed trying to pick up the presents. I was trying to jump but I kept sliding everywhere -- not sure if this was intentional. Also, I found that the bombs missing an explosion animation was pretty lacking. Look like it could have potential, though!
This is fantastic! What a great 48h entry. Super fun. The audio and the graphics are so cute! I'd love to see more of this game.
Props for the use of Sigur Ros as the background music. I really enjoyed the TNT, although I several times made a hole I couldn't cross :P Good work, hope to see more!
Was a little too easy, but I enjoyed it. Goals weren't well defined, but I really liked the Minecraft-ish theme.
The music is fantastic! I love the concept and got a giggle out of the deaths. 5 stars for humor, go!
Maybe it's because it's 7 AM, but the game never starts... :(
Interesting concept, but way too easy. Needs to be a little more challenging. Very off-beat but new way to interpret villain (although I personally found it more along the "delusional" lines than villain). The effects are good and the mood is very symbolic. Good work.
I found the game very easy to beat simply by depriving the bot of the long thin column pieces. Otherwise, a great concept and very fun!
The bonuses really made this game. It felt like a strange cross between Second Life and Toy Commander, which I didn't even know was possible. I was sad that even though there were bonuses for tailgating and even your car exploding, that there wasn't a single bonus for crashing into other cars. Fun game though!
Very fun. I got stuck at level 2... those heart dudes were tough at that size. The final boss was pretty surreal, too... I'm not quite sure I understand it, but it was an interesting experience. Great work, and interesting (and funny) take on the theme!
The AI and his comments are awesome. I had fun playing it. The controls were a little strange, but I liked it overall. Good job with the theme.
Wow, that was messed up. I played it at like 5 AM and I think between staying up for it and eating Taco Bell is going to give me permanent nightmares. Definitely nailed the themes and the watercolor environments gave this game its character. Great work.
This game is absolutely stunning. The music, the art, the theme. It's disturbing in such a delicious way. I would have loved to see the game branch off in multiple possible directions with different outcomes, but the mood is so good I can overlook the short gameplay. Here, have some stars.
love this game! I especially love the hero's dialog, especially the wizard
awesome game!
I really dig this game; I love the mood given off and how the gun-making is embedded into the gameplay: it's really smart to balance it by giving the same guns to all the enemies
sweet game! i love the graphics and the concept and theres just something satisfying above the money-absorbing vacuum
I love the graphics and what you're going for here, but the game seems really glitchy. I often found myself on floors where the ceiling would obstruct my vision, also it was hard to determine where exactly your target is since they can be above or below you, yet there is no indication of that
I really like the idea and what you're going for, but i feel like the gameplay isnt all the way there yet: its hard to know what items will do what and when you'll get caught
nice little game you got here; I really like the graphics, but it doesnt seem to have a whole lot todo with the theme
really nicely polished game; I love the graphics, though trying to play it with a mouse is a bit of a pain (I bet it's a lot better on a touch device)
great game; the implementation of the theme is very settle, but once you notice it, the game takes on a whole 'nother light; very interesting
awesome game!
I love the elf zombies. The only glaring thing that I thought it was lacking was some sort of bullet sprite. The levels could have had a little more variation, but then again, at the beginning I was completely unaware that there even were levels, and proceeded to play the first level for about a half hour. :P Great work, keep it up!
love the graphics and the concept, but there isn't much to the gameplay really
nice box2d implementation, and its cool that you got a level editor working, but the gameplay itself seems kinda bland right now
cool idea, and maybe I just didn't play long enough to notice, but it seemed like there wasn't much strategy to how you fix the boxing match, it just seems like you expend all your items and watch the match resolve on its own
I enjoyed the game, particularly the music and the sound effects. The firing noise is hilarious! The AI was really good too, much better than I was at the game. I had a hard time understand the game, and every once in a while things I was building didn't continue or stopped or just didn't work (and I didn't know why). Great work, had fun!
The graphics and animation are the best part about the game. It's really short, though, and I'd like to see more gameplay. If you get the timing right with the first trap, you just outright kill the dude every time, which gets repetitive. But good work, I'd like to see more!
I lol'd. I really enjoyed the series-of-minigames style of play, and that you're just a bastard pissing people off. I'm sad that there wasn't some sort of bastard meta-score, and the lack of audio hurt the overall game. That said, though, great game, and good work!
Fun little game! Good work with the audio, and although the purple ray collisions were a little strange, I had fun stacking them weirdly :P
Very difficult, I couldn't make it past the second stage. The virus movement is very nice and very believable, but the game itself is hard to play. The lack of audio is a shame because it would have really helped the mood.
While I have a hard time believing that Mother Nature is much of a villain, I like the concept. The game is mostly fun to play :) The text on the instructions page is a little hard to read. I also think that lightning bolts are super overpowered and that water essentially does nothing.
Also, a bug: once you complete the game, if you restart and play again, just beating the first level will cause you to win.
I love the creative use of the theme. The music really makes it, and the things that people say makes the game that much more interesting. Great work!
Great game, I love it! Just a few comments: Ricochet like, doesn't help you at all. Also, there appears to be a bug (I'm in Chrome) where sometimes your controls will simply lock up.
Also, I always end up getting to a point in the game where I literally can't spend my credits fast enough. The game ticks up the counter quickly over time, but even if I have killed hordes of enemies, I have to wait for that counter to tick up before I can spend them! This matters when I'm firing grenades constantly in order to stay alive :P Also, I don't like that I die all at once, even if I have full life, just for one mistake. It's pretty unforgiving, especially at the end.
At any rate, great work, and congratulations! :D
LD29 — Beneath the Surface (1)
The Creature Beneath by Otrora Games 2014-04-30T06:35:00
I died. A lot. And then I died again. The first level was extremely confusing, but I eventually got it. I was dismayed that level 2 was so easy leading into level 3, where if you simply sink to the bottom, you insta-die and have to do it all over again...
Otherwise, I really liked the visual style and the mood of this game. The audio was also quite well done and there are a lot of things going for this game. Overall, I appreciated the attention to detail in the art and the varied gameplay.
