LD30 — Connected Worlds

Connecting LD30 to the Real World by Will Edwards 2014-08-27T13:42:00

Nice one although i cannot find myself. There are a whole lot of dots on one spot and i am probably one of them but i cannot tell/.

Connecting LD30 to the Real World by Will Edwards 2014-09-15T14:55:00

Very very cool concept.

The Octate Worlds by Jogy34 2014-08-27T14:51:00

One of the first that actually does something with the theme I have seen. And I like the sound. another thing most don't have.

Intersection by Domantas 2014-08-27T18:14:00

Best game I have played so far of all the 48 hour dares.
Love the concept and it works like a charm. Good solid graphics and decent sound. And you actually have working gameplay that is entertaining to me and matches the theme perfectly. I replayed a couple times, so awesome job!

Can you hear me Major Tom? by franciscotufro 2014-08-27T17:28:00

One of the few games that make you go uhuh and just like what you see without knowing what is going on whehe. Looks good. Sound is good. It takes a moment to figure out but yeah. like

Gravitas by elemel 2014-08-27T23:11:00

I like this concept a lot although it will need slight tweeking. Still I enjoyed this challenge even though I did not get very far. I will probably try this one again tomorrow :) Must get it eventually.

Beaver CO-OP by SenorDiablo 2014-08-27T17:00:00

For the people that complain about chrome.. Go to your downloads list in chrome and say you want it anyways. Chrome is just being an ass.. You CAN actually download such files.

Beaver CO-OP by SenorDiablo 2014-08-27T17:04:00

Very nice gameplay and slick finish BUT the screensize is sooo tiny. Still I have to rate this pretty high cause it is a good game. More polished than most I tell ya. Kudo's

A Broken Planet by NRathbone 2014-08-25T23:22:00

In the second area after using the gyroscope.. It says journals but there is only one. And if you leave to the south and then come back you can still see the journal even though you already took it.

Supercool you did a text adventure. I liked it and i thought the writing was pretty well done.

A Planetary Guide by Alexander 2014-08-27T17:21:00

Very original way of integrating the theme. Like the concept a lot and the music added to the feel of the game. Good ratings for this one.

Through by Recon 2014-08-27T11:33:00

Good game although it needs some tweeking. The max speed is too high cause it can get stuck in a loop when bumping in between walls that are close to eachother. And haha i thought i would beat the game but then it started over doing the same levels. Good concept though.

New World by LabOne 2014-09-02T18:09:00

Both issues I found, DragonMaster21 already mentioned. The 'nervous' ships when they try to occupy space close to eachother and the money going in the negatives makes it less intuitive. Works good and looks fine besides that. Plays well.

Come Creatures, Come pls by okmmjyygv 2014-09-09T14:12:00

Quite innovative. I like this a lot but yes it is hard whehehe. Good job on the theme and the concept. Very nice

World Lord by Luke Molnar 2014-08-25T10:45:00

I like the handdrawn style a lot. Would have liked to get to harder levels but we all know there is just not enough time. Overall I think this is a very nice entry and a solid concept.
Kudo's

Galaxies by Jeasonfire 2014-09-02T15:45:00

Pretty slick. Like

The Field by DrPrettyPatty 2014-08-25T11:25:00

What i like about it is that it feels friendly, mellow, pleasant. Good vibe. Kudo´s

Networkaholics by gmfk07 2014-09-02T17:08:00

Pretty challenging!

Gravitous by MaesK 2014-09-03T18:21:00

The planets gravity seems a little but much but I like how this plays. And the audio is pretty good! Well done

RecTango by jonask 2014-09-03T18:30:00

I really like this a lot. And the graphic style is perfect for this. Good sound... Lots of high ratings for this one.

The Theft of Purpose by gaarlicbread 2014-08-27T18:39:00

I downloaded the windows version but i get a notification that says i am missing the MSVCR120.dll
Anything I can do to fix this? More than willing to put in some effort if it helps.

Outdoor by Warboys 2014-08-27T18:26:00

Game died at day 26 not 28. Retried and made it to 27.. I am thinking it may have to do with a certain amount of actions of one type? Like the concept a lot though so still going to rate it good. Interesting use of the theme too. Would have loved to know what happened after the 30 days.

of Light and Dark by MaddeMichael 2014-08-25T20:35:00

The Gamejolt version has issues mate/. I tried the other to make sure and that version does work. So yeah the gamejolt version does not load correctly for me and has buggy graphics. And also, either version keeps saying the game is paused while i can play it just fine.

Now for the actual opinion. Good graphics, solid concept, and i like the atmosphere or mood of the game a lot. The repetative background music i could do without but it does not prevent me from playing again. That is the only negative thing i got though. Overall i will give a good rating. *nods*

of Light and Dark by MaddeMichael 2014-08-25T23:46:00

Yups, confirmed it works now.

Disconnected Worlds by Pantelis Petsopoulos 2014-08-25T12:10:00

Good effort this one. Not my type of game but i made it to the congratulations screen anyways :)
I like that you actually made a finished concept. I didn't get that far whehe. Also kudo's for having a version of the theme.

Twin star by t4u 2014-08-27T22:57:00

Good game this one. I like it a lot and it is actually a very playable game. Nice one!

Hop Hop Planet by SnoutUp 2014-08-26T12:27:00

Movement is a bit slow but that really is the only major complaint. It is a good concept and quite polished already. Good rating from me.

Space Cookies (of semi-destiny) by iMer 2014-09-02T20:18:00

Some of the pixelart is pretty good and the fishbowl as helmet is funny whehehe. Nice one

Interstice by LukeZaz 2014-09-02T18:21:00

Bullets could have been a bit bigger or have a trail so it is more obvious where you are shooting. I like the music and solid concept of course.

Lady Lyla by whalebot 2014-09-02T18:26:00

Love the pixelart.

InterVersal by micdoodle8 2014-08-25T20:57:00

I did not rate yet cause i am getting a black screen with the two bots but i do not see anything else in the first level.
I was using the windows version..

Tower Twitch by metalchouchen 2014-08-27T23:36:00

I basicly spend 10 minutes waiting for the chance to play but the bot is on and I don't get a response so too bad.. Like the concept but you have just missed a rating. I will not downrate for this though. I hope others do get a chance to play.

Smugglers' Cave by Andrew Quartermain 2014-08-25T20:43:00

Original. Quite tricky but fun idea.

Asteroid Absorption by smagee 2014-08-27T11:02:00

I am not rating you cause i cannot really find any astroids so i am thinking it may be me that messed up? I see my little green dot and the big red one and it doesn't matter if i go touch the red one or not (i tried both) I do not see anything else even if i move in one direction for 20 seconds. Did i miss something?

BingaR - Story driven platformer by DvanderAart 2014-08-25T13:08:00

I only noticed i had scripted the last statue to make sound this morning. Facepalm! And yeah i wish i had more levels done too and i would have wanted to decorate up the ones i have more. But time is short and it was my first game attempt so next time i guess :) Today i simply do not have time to work on it so no gamejam version i'm afraid. Thanks for checking it out everyone. I will be doing the same with yours!

BingaR - Story driven platformer by DvanderAart 2014-08-26T19:37:00

Yes LexGear you are right. To be honest i did not realize the last sound was still active. It was not supposed to be there but that is the nature of deadlines i guess. I really value everyones comments. Very motivating for a first time game maker i can tell you. I will definitly be joining next time and i am actually thinking of using the months ahead till the next ludum dare to do a proper version of this. It would be good practice and maybe prepare me better for the next one cause i've kinda thrown myself in the deep end i guess lolz

BingaR - Story driven platformer by DvanderAart 2014-08-27T18:02:00

Thanks Peter :) Too bad you cannot vote whehehe

BingaR - Story driven platformer by DvanderAart 2014-08-28T10:40:00

Yes pansapiens, bit off too much is an understatement lolz. I value your comments though and will learn from this dive in the deep end muahahahaha
And yes Warboys, i will check it out for sure :)

BingaR - Story driven platformer by DvanderAart 2014-09-05T21:07:00

Not even by hitting refresh while the page is up? That generally fixes the problem..

Planet Protector by jthistle 2014-08-27T16:48:00

I installed both python and pygame using the links you provided. I even restarted my pc thinking it may help but it did not. I see the DOSbox for a sec and then it vanishes and doesn't start a game. Could it be cause I am running a 64bit Windows 7 and pygame is 32 bit? Anyway.. lot's of effort put in but no result. Kind of a bummer..

Link'emAll by bobombe 2014-08-27T14:37:00

I like this but it takes a minute to fugure out. Cool concept.

I did not understand why the web version makes me download though. But i enjoyed it. Good rating from me

Deloused at the Exploratorium by sepharoth213 2014-08-27T14:08:00

The sound really started to annoy me till i figured out what to do. Then it changes pretty quick and become sa cool feature instead. Not sure what the white balls did. They seemed to invert green and white functions? Pretty cool concept although it would have helped to know what to do from the start. Nice one and definitly a positive rating from me.

Elemental Connection by Rialgar 2014-09-02T17:30:00

Thank you? But I want more!

Neanderthal Twins by RegularSlinky 2014-08-25T11:56:00

On the web player i got this message:
""Built with beta version of Unity. Will only work on your computer!""
I installed the windows version instead and that rund fine.
At first i though bah an endless runner but the two characters in seperate lanes and specially when they switch is a nice twist. The screenshake is a bit too much for me though.

Control by Wesley Ding 2014-08-27T16:26:00

This seems very interesting. It goes a bit ddeper than you see at first. Good take on the theme and may I say the music is awesome. If you made that yourself, kudo's! Glad I read about the text fix before I started :) Good ratings from me for sure.

A Princess' Request by Dasginger 2014-08-25T13:40:00

Good solid concept and graphics. Sound was very good too.
And it actually has an ending too which is something I didn't get to myself. Like!

Galactic Empire by Stan Sypek 2014-08-27T13:51:00

I read your post and thought you were too negative up front. I wanted to be positive but i cannot play source so sorry. I am sure it is not as bad as you say but i cannot rate it.

McNugget Quest by HMANNEN 2014-08-27T16:09:00

Crashes on startup.
Windows 7

Rainboverse by modbox 2014-09-03T20:22:00

I like the concept and it works well except for when the bottom of the char touches the border it gets stuck.. Looks bright and happy. Good one

TechKnights by laluis1 2014-08-27T16:18:00

I like the pixelarts so I gave good ratings on those.

I did not rate Audio because the page says you did not make it.

Starfighter Alliance by fissionmoon 2014-09-03T18:59:00

Good itteration of a classic concept. Works well!

Shadows and Lights by aucguy 2014-09-03T20:11:00

Latest version of Python and Pygame on Windows 7 but it doesn't run. Sorry

Blobs RPG by Kalman90Grape 2014-09-03T19:06:00

No glitches or bugs found and had some fun playing. The puzzles could have been a bit more challenging. Still good job for this LD48 entry

Past Jumpgate by Patrik 2014-09-03T19:09:00

Killed by mages whehe. Works well. Looks nice. Good job on this one.

Ghostly Worlds by josh1billion 2014-09-03T19:22:00

A little bit too random which sometimes makes it too easy and too challenging other times.. I like what you do have though. And the music seems to work with it well. Good effort for sure!

Shared Destiny by Pesty 2014-09-03T19:31:00

I like the concept and it works well. I have seen this done a bit more polished but very nice going on this one.

ASKL by thedashdude 2014-08-27T22:52:00

I like this game for what it does. And yeah.. not easy :)

ggLD by member_of_jabber_conference 2014-08-27T13:17:00

What you have works well. And the graphics are nice and clean.

Music Race to the Moon by eddiegtp 2014-08-25T11:46:00

Not very challenging ofcourse, but a cool concept.
I actually like the handdrawn look.
Good use of the theme.

School Schism by SusanTheCat 2014-08-27T14:00:00

I like the graphic style and sound. Very cool concept. Little bit hard to get into still because of orientation but that is probably me. Positive rating from me no doubt.

Fused by stoz 2014-08-27T23:15:00

Before I play.. You can also go to the download list in chrome and simply say you want the file anyways regardless of the supposed risk. You don't need to use another browser or change settings. Now let me go check it out..

Fused by stoz 2014-08-27T23:25:00

K Good game. Highest rating I have given sofar after about 30 games. Not cause there is nothing to be improved but cause overall it is just a very solid start. Kudo's for this shizzle. The spacebar and numpad 0 should be changed and key mapping would be good yeah. Still like it a lot as it is. Oh and I liked the intro.

WetWalkerWorld by monkeymad2 2014-08-27T18:35:00

I like the concept and dialog and I am quite taken by most of the graphics. Good job on this one.

Gunship Diplomacy by blubberquark 2014-09-09T14:18:00

Great concept, challenging to play. Needs some tweaking but very cool concept.

A World Apart by pighead10 2014-09-04T12:54:00

Like! This works well. I like it. No complaints or bugs at all. Just nice. Specially that you can aim the shooting with the mouse!

Puzzle Connection by dem0 2014-09-03T19:18:00

Good concept, works well.. a bit frustrating but that is a good thing whehehe nice one

Delving by kakuremino 2014-09-09T14:30:00

Very cool to see people that try something different. Quite challenging and i will admit i didn't get very far whehe. Can i just say i am amazed so many people don't know how their browser works. Referring to chrome users of course. I like it and think this is one of the more interesting concepts. Needs some more taking the player by the hand though. Nice one though! Good rating
