Fall of Babel by walkupandaway 2016-08-30T14:04:00

Nice music, Nice game, Nice atmosphere. What else ;).

Nineveh by Mark Ffrench 2016-08-30T13:37:00

Ancient Civilization 5 simulator :) :D
Nice work!
Truth is that you could make it a bit more game-like. But the simulation itselft is impressive enough.

Da Vinci Corde by Zak 2016-08-30T12:10:00

Really nice game. I love the dynamic rope. It just goes so smooth. At first I did not realized how to finish the level properly, becasue when you do the level the wrong way the game doesn't really tell you. It just waits for you to rewind. I think it would be nice if the ropes got pulled even when they are placed in the wrong way. But I think that's nothing important.
The game is great :D

Ancient Egypt Vanished by DekuJuice 2016-08-30T13:15:00

I'm stuck at the start screen for some reason.

Diamond Burst by jessou 2016-08-30T12:50:00

Yea I agree that some explanation or "story" would be nice to bring the player into the game.
But still. This is a nice casual game that can get kinda hardcore sometimes ;)

Light Caller by igorfel 2016-08-30T16:45:00

Nice game, pretty mysterious :D
I really like the soundtrack and the style of the game.
The camera is sometimes not so good, but I don't think that that's a big flaw.

@Cody Hansen. Im really happy that you played till the end. I can explain that no response problem quiet simply. I was finishing the key mechanics and unfortunatly I had no time to playtest the game properly. It was really late in the night. And I forgot that I changed few commands and so some of those commands written in the guide weren't working. Also thanks for your suggestion. I will try to implement it once I fix the all the tweaking and correcting the game guide.

@Yungvarr What version of java are you running? I think that you might have an outdated one. Try to update to the latest 1.8.0_101.

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-30T12:45:00

@PotatoIng_ Thanks :). Will fix the credits. Not sure what to do with the scrolling. Once you scroll up manualy this problem can occur. Will look into it anyway.

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-30T14:28:00

@leondryaso
Thanks! I'm happy that you enjoyed it.
Could you just tell me what exactly do you mean by not autoscrolling?
I thought the problem was that when you scroll up. And write a command it does not scroll down to the command you wrote. But that works fine for me. Once you type the command the text is scrolled down to the bottom. So what is the issue? That does not work for you?

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-30T14:57:00

@kndx123 Hmmm ... gotta fix them all. Thanks for pointing out a bug. Combat system was done really quickly and I had no time to test it.

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-30T15:23:00

@Wicked7000
Thanks a lot :)
Right now I'm trying to fix those issues. Making command history should not be hard. Also I realized that the enemy attack system was broken ;(. Just fixed that. Gonna update the game.

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-30T15:34:00

Ok so. I've just created a new version. The combat system should be working now. I added some code to make sure the text is always on bottom when you write a command. But on my system it was working without this code aswell. So I cannot test if it is really working, I hope so.
Please could someone download this file:

And tell me if the autoscroll works?

@Vaiaphraim
Appreciate it :).

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-30T18:51:00

@acotis Thank you for your criticism. I agree with everything you said. Even the last part. Becasue for me, there really wasn't time. I was uploading this game literally 4 minutes before the end of entry hour. There was no time to do those things, but I was planing to do them. I guess I'm a slow programmer :D :D

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-30T19:02:00

@9.ark7k I know, but ... time :/.

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-31T08:31:00

@unpronounceable ( Ha, I pronounced that :P )
Unfortunatly, As I said many times before. I had no time to make sure the enemy is kinda balanced. He is supposed to attack you, but I guess that you destroyed him even before that. But still, thanks for playing.

@metalhaze
Thank you :) . The same thing goes to you. I will try to make the enemy a bit ... "enemyier?" ( thats not a word :D )

@Xinelu
That was pretty much the point of this game. Being ancient :D Thank you!

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-31T13:43:00

@CalmKai
@Hackinggroelz
Thanks!

Five Days by DUDSS 2016-08-31T18:46:00

@igorfel
Thank you! I hoped noone would keep the game running after winning. I was setting up the win condition like 10 mins before LD end and there was no time to finish that off :D

Neon of Ancient by TeamEagle 2016-08-30T13:30:00

Really really well made game. It feels so majestic and epic.
I love the homing system of shots.
One thing I would suggest is making the ship turn a bit better.
Sometimes when you die and switch to a different plane the camera bugs out a bit but it works again after a while.
Also, at one moment I was controlling 2 planes at once. Not sure if you know about that.

Asteroid Wars by leondryaso 2016-08-30T14:33:00

Love the look of it :)

Taxi No Roman by Nichii 2016-08-30T11:24:00

Good work! This game reminds me of a taxi driver simulator I played on my old Nokia phone :D

Made of Steam by holgk 2016-08-30T13:17:00

Love the idea. Not many games are set in an industrial revolution era.

Traffic Light Simulator by SuperChihuahua 2016-08-29T09:11:00

Very nice, Is there a option to remove crashed cars? :D

ARMED N' READY!! by djdudes100 2016-08-30T12:16:00

The download link does not work.

It Started Out With A Brick by peterthehe 2016-08-30T14:10:00

I love those types of evolution games, I really do. Its so interesting to watch those machines grow. And ... evolve.
And now? When you add gore, murder and destructible enviroment ... WOHOOOOOO GAME ON!

What the Flag?! by 01101101 2016-08-30T12:41:00

Nice game, fun to play. I really like the art style of the buttons :D.

Star Eating Tree by VersatileBox 2016-08-30T16:29:00

Nice game, I like the artwork and smooth animations.
But I feel like the game needs an attack animation and a bit different visuals of night.

Hammer Stone by 9.ar7k 2016-08-30T19:06:00

Nice one, The mechanic is pretty cool and makes you think :D

Five Ancient Keys by Cody Hansen 2016-08-30T12:00:00

I have to say that the start is kinda unclear. But that's the challenge I guess. The game is very well done and tilesets are nice as well. Good work :)

Angry Trebuchet by jcmonkey 2016-08-30T13:05:00

Nice game. I like the simple sidescrolling graphics. It's fun to shoot 2 rock after each other and watch the destruction.
One thing I suggest is few different blocks. Not just the one same. Maybe make them stronger ( 2 hits = destroy ) or weaker.
Maybe add them some cool properties / colors.
Also a fun thing would be if you add a "cheat mode" and allow you to hold space and just spam rocks !! :D

Cat-O-Pult by Sun-Wukong 2016-08-30T12:33:00

I love cats, I love this game. :D
I really like the mechanic that the cats walk and seek their targets. It would be nice if the cats would have more colors than black.

Polybot by Mystical 2016-08-30T13:11:00

Nice and polished game. I love the mechanical snake cutscene :D.
