LD22 — Alone

You Can't Go Through The Door by Trollamor 2011-12-30T22:41:00

I liked the music in the beginning, but I have the same problem as summaky.
About using compressed audio-formats, maybe this can help: http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=460201
I haven't tried it yet, though.

The Darkness You Wander Alone by eelfroth 2011-12-20T21:17:00

Thanks to everyone! I'm glad you like it.

@caranha:
That fullscreen thing is caused by Game Maker 6.1 being buggy, I guess. I was actually making a 320x240 windowed mode, but the image wasn't scaled correctly and I didn't want to waste too much time fixing it (which would require some workaround).
Its still not true that the game is fullscreen-only, though. You can toggle windowed mode with F4 and then resize the window by hand.

The Darkness You Wander Alone by eelfroth 2011-12-26T20:20:00

Sorry about that! Fixing immediately.

The Darkness You Wander Alone by eelfroth 2011-12-27T08:45:00

The problem with the cut-off edges should be fixed now. Go to the options menu or press F5 to adjust the scale.

ROM CHECK FAIL WITHOUT A CAUSE by ExciteMike 2011-12-19T21:56:00

I enjoyed it!

LD23 — Tiny World

6 Degrees of Sabotage by dukope 2012-04-30T12:27:00

The first time I played, I accidentally shot an innocent bystander. The second time, I cheated by taking notes, and accidentally shot an innocent bystander.
I loved the concept, graphics, mood and gameplay. The only thing is, I wish it was longer (wich is just another way of saying how much I enjoyed this).

Soul Searchin' by MaximSchoemaker 2012-04-24T18:44:00

Surprising and clever interpretation of the theme, the innovative mechanics kept me playing to the end. I also enjoyed that the story-texts shrank with the levels.
The minimalist black/white art style works pretty well, but in my opinion the sprites don't quite fit in. That being said, this game is good enough to not even need fancy graphics. Good work!

Boundaries by jeffreybiles 2012-05-01T11:22:00

I like this mechanic, it's very innovative and feels right. As you progress through the games stages and the screen fills with hydrogen atoms, the gameplay gets pretty chaotic and uncontrollable. Maybe add some helium or even bigger atoms?

Brainfected by Foxtacy 2012-05-01T11:07:00

This is one of the best soundtracks this LD! Graphics were nice too, only the goal (300 kills) is a bit high. Once you got a hang of the bullet dodging, it resolves in a lot of grinding.

Tiny World of Bees by tripleVisionGames 2012-04-24T20:58:00

I liked the pixel art and the general concept. Maybe you should add some difficulty (and a way to lose).

Tiny Chtulhu by Chtulhu 2012-04-24T19:08:00

Through the continuous growth of the player character this game gives you an impressive feeling of super-human power.
I would have liked some more interactivity and a proper ending. But nice theme-interpretation: when you are huge, the world becomes tiny. Funny to see those tiny mortals trying to stop a Grat Old One.

Planet Life by Sos 2012-04-24T21:51:00

I committed suicide because I was so lonley.

Planet Life by Sos 2012-04-24T22:06:00

I committed suicide because I was so lonley... Really nice game!

Memento XII by deepnight 2012-04-24T18:48:00

Congratulations for winning LD23!

Ivory Kingdom by Stavu 2012-04-25T21:55:00

I loved the setting and the visuals.

Extensionism by eelfroth 2012-04-24T22:03:00

Thank you all for your nice comments! :)

devwil: You are right, I miss music too. It was an issue of bad time-management.

LD25 — You are the Villain

Dark Dream by eShredder 2012-12-19T16:05:00

Very nice athmosphere. I didn't collect all of the nightmares but I found the secret ending.

Goat Slaughterbox by GibTreaty 2012-12-18T17:39:00

I tossed some goats into the meat grinder, punched others to tiny bits and laughed like a maniac.

Terminal by BenW 2012-12-18T14:45:00

Great game! The art is just fantastic. I especially like the backgrounds. Gameplay and sound are nice too. It runs a little slow on my computer (~10 fps), but that's probably due to my outdated hardware.
I haven't been able to kill the patient yet...

Asteroids Backwards by CurtisOfTheDark 2012-12-18T17:37:00

Wait... where is the download link?

Rainbow by ix 2012-12-19T02:02:00

Wow, nice mechanics. And the visuals are so trippy. :-)

Form of the Destructor by diggersworld 2012-12-18T17:45:00

Love the title screen!

Like Insects by eelfroth 2012-12-18T15:34:00

metadept: Thanks, I'll look into that.

Like Insects by eelfroth 2012-12-19T20:19:00

DST: what's the killingfloor genre? I don't know many games like this.

AyCe: I should keep in mind to allow different control schemes next time.

Holly Jolly Pyromaniac by UndergroundPixel 2012-12-19T14:47:00

Awesome music and graphics. You should port this to C=64!

Hero Must Die by CireNeikual 2012-12-18T15:45:00

Good work on the AI! It can be quite difficult to trick sometimes.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Fastboy by Misfit 2013-09-16T18:56:00

Hell yes!
This game is awesome. Hats off to you, man!

DecBin by DanteZack93 2013-09-16T19:51:00

Nice and unique mood. Love the art style!

Forest Edge by lordjosephdeburg 2013-08-28T00:56:00

Cloud Control by Bzaraticus 2013-09-16T19:24:00

Very relaxing experience. You know, I played for a while: http://imgur.com/Ok7n72w

Tears of the Sorrow Beast by artmdk 2013-09-17T00:07:00

So dark and mysterious. I cant even express how much I love this!

Like a Lamb by dook 2013-09-17T00:02:00

This is definitely one of the most unique experiences in this jam. I love the mysticism-soaked story and athmosphere!

Hallucivian by Hypnohustla 2013-09-16T23:13:00

KARMA by nhmllr 2013-08-28T01:37:00

Everything fits togeter so nicely. My favourite so far. 5/5

Means to an End by Back to Browse Entries 2013-08-28T01:47:00

Makes you think... Good job!

9 To 11 Seconds by hovinarri 2013-09-16T17:43:00

I really like this game. The soundtrack is just awesome and together with the visual choices sets up a pretty nice mood.
I can imagine playing the hell out of this on mobile. With headphones on max volume!

Target Down by nexust 2013-09-09T22:28:00

I like the unusual atmosphere. Really nice surreal game!

Exploratite Mitae by Lubial 2013-09-16T23:34:00

This game really sets up a mood. I feel sad for the little creature... The quality of your work is overwhelming!

PolyBlade by nastynate 2013-09-16T18:40:00

I like it. Nice work with the graphics!

Free fall by LunarPixel 2013-08-28T01:12:00

I survived :)
Very fun little game!

10 seconds til Midnight by nolann 2013-09-16T20:12:00

As I lay dying in the darkest of forests, where no living thing can ever be, a haunting melody sent shivers up my spine. And I beheld, half in terror half in admiration, the witch dancing around the ashen trees like a wild beast. I would be her supper tonight. I could see it in her mad, cat-like eyes.

I love the athmosphere in this game. Nice job!

Ten Seconds to Impact: The Colossal Interstellar Office Supply Spill Disaster by Back to Browse Entries 2013-09-16T18:33:00

Sadly, I cannot run this. "sound parameters have not been initialized"

But I love the story, man!

Antarctic Glitch by Beavl 2013-08-27T20:55:00

I love this game!
Funny how both of our games' plots are about glitched spacetime. But your take on it is different, gameplay-wise. I like it. Nice glitch effects by the way!

Minty Snak3 by cirpis 2013-08-28T00:53:00

This game is very stylish in every aspect.

Manic Meltdown by interloper 2013-09-16T17:49:00

Fun little game. I like it!

Racer Prep by Angryhead 2013-09-16T18:07:00

This game is great! :)
And the graphics are pretty stylish.

Reassemble by Crysalis 2013-09-16T17:52:00

Oh, the link is down :(

Tracewire by Drachlen 2013-09-16T21:54:00

That is some innovative and fun gameplay! Nice soundtrack, too.

SquareKade by PoroCYon 2013-09-16T18:03:00

Interesting twist on the classic brakout. I love how the screen is rotated so you have to figure out the directions every time. Confusing, but in a good way.

The Red Button by GreenyUk 2013-09-16T22:24:00

Really nice game. Difficulty is very well balanced.
I think some people get stuck on 1-5, because it is not so clear that you can highjump. Also, the keyboard controls are a bit tedious.
But I really enjoyed this game. Good job!

It's pronounced Sandmen! by threeguysandaburger 2013-09-16T18:10:00

Amazing graphics!

Escape From the Space Thing (That You Never See) by Flatgub 2013-09-16T22:32:00

Really nice graphical style and fun gameplay, although a little too easy.
I would really love to see an extended version/hard mode.
The plot is awesome btw.

Brainwash by ShitAndSon 2013-09-16T22:42:00

This game is pure delight.

Orms by andrewcdieppa 2013-09-16T18:28:00

Nice scenery!

Fantastic Journey of a Teleporting Circle by nek 2013-09-16T23:01:00

The cutscenes look and sound fantastic! I wish the plasma effect and drone sound would stay throughout the whole game. They really set up an amazing athmosphere.

Korrod by eelfroth 2013-08-26T21:19:00

Allright. The Windows and Mac ports were broken (my dev-computer is a Linux, so I did'nt notice). I fixed the Windows port today, it should be working properly now.
Mac port comes tomorrow, if all goes well.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Korrod by eelfroth 2013-08-27T19:53:00

Ok, another quick update... I fixed a bug in the port, where player movement was seriously glitched at framerates below 60fps.

10 Steps to Hell by Morgawr 2013-09-16T19:40:00

I've finally come arouind to play this. I really enjoyed playing. This game got a nice roguelike-vibe.

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Hyper Head Hunter by AwesomeAlliterationAlliance 2015-07-13T23:48:00

Awesome puzzle fighting mechanics, awesome setting!
I lifedrained my way to the boss and won.

LD36 — Ancient Technology

aRCANE by Jupitron 2016-08-30T16:39:00

So I maxed out my thrusters and accumulated over 200k ARCAME_GOLD. What now? ;-)

btw. I really enjoyed the ride

Artifact Hunter by CMLSC 2016-08-29T15:16:00

Probably my favourite game of this LD. Highscore: 1/12, but I'm not done with this yet!
The game is amazing, gets my adrenaline pumping by the time I reach lvl 3. Good pacing, cool patterns to dodge. Would give 5 stars in fun for sure.

A few things I would fix for future update:
- Bombs start spawnig bofore the transition-effect wears off. Sometimes you're dead before you can see again.
- Fullscreen would be very much appreciated.
- Add an alternative dash button. Its the most important button and my pinkie is not ready for that kind of resposibility. How about space bar, maybe?
- Include all keys in the help-screen. J, K, L and R are not documented there. A minor issue, but it might confuse some players.

The powerups appear kind of useless to me, considering they take away precious stamina needed for dashing. But then again, I haven't reached the skill ceiling yet - maybe I will find good uses for them yet.
