LD19 — Discovery

Land of the Fishies by EricTheCoolDude 2011-01-11T21:55:00

Hmm, since I made it for the competition in 48 hours I'd say it belongs on here.

LD21 — Escape

Captive by NateNaterson 2011-08-22T16:28:00

This is really good! I like the minigames and the brutal death animation.

LD23 — Tiny World

Free Donutia by the8donut 2012-04-23T14:39:00

It was pretty boring to be honest. I like the mechanics but it took so long to do anything and the audio made it a bit tedious.

Red by olkeencole 2012-04-26T18:29:00

I liked the game! It's fun, I liked the big world and the graphics were decent. However, having such an important mechanic dependent on time instead of the player's control isn't very fun. And it would've been nice to have a little more sound than the single sound effect before the "big jumps".

Ra Ra by YMM 2012-04-24T17:17:00

I love it. I'm gonna play it with my brother!

Tiny Eco by Truce 2012-04-23T14:29:00

I really don't get it. I didn't have any tiles to move around so all I could do was place two animal icons on the tiles and press lock in, then look at the score. That wasn't very fun!

Toad Warrior by SpaceToaster 2012-04-30T20:27:00

I like the graphics, however, the inconcistant controls made it pretty frustrating.

Mozi Life by Kimau 2012-04-23T14:23:00

I liked it! I like the children's book-style graphics and the Simple mouse-based gameplay. I would've loved to see a slightly longer game, though. And a bit of audio. You should make a full game out of this concept with these graphics!

My Little Planet by NateNaterson 2012-04-23T15:02:00

I like the graphics! The music is also very good and the game if really satisfying to play.

Astrosurf by Jimjam 2012-04-26T18:15:00

Having right click as control may not have been a good idea since it's impossible to use in the web version.

Searching for Heaven by demonpants 2012-04-26T18:11:00

The concept is original but the iffy physics and animation made the game pretty unsatisfying to play. The choppily-animated hand-drawn characters didn't contrast very nicely with the crude low-res blocks.

I want to turn the heater on by Andrew 2012-04-23T14:47:00

The game is really tedious to play, especially since nothing is explained. I'm supposed to give a pot to Miguel, but what pot? I don't see a pot in any of the worlds.

caveman defending his cave from aliens while monoliths drop down from the sky by bms 2012-04-26T18:46:00

I enjoyed it! It feels a lot like Super Crate Box.

Invasion Of Tiny World by gregdevice 2012-04-26T18:36:00

Very fun!

LD26 — Minimalism

Robot Hears Kitten by Kom 2013-05-02T18:10:00

I enjoyed it! It was simple, but fun.

Bridge Crosser by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2013-05-02T16:13:00

Hmm, I didn't really enjoy it. The jumping was inconsistent which often kept my jumps from registering. Probably should've been a GetButton instead of a GetButtonDown. Aside from that it's very unoptimized and the graphics look pretty bad. And what were you trying to do with the audio? It's annoying.

A Mini Adventure by AxeTheory 2013-05-02T17:22:00

Sorry man but these platform controls are beyond messed up and make the game very tedious to play. Not very fun at all.

Abyss by SomeNetworkGuy 2013-05-02T17:43:00

I like the core concept, visually it reminds me of the Funkyboard segments from Rayman 3. The music is fine at first but it quickly gets tiring once you realize the kick-ass drum beat you keep thinking is going to kick in never does.

Colors by PhilZ 2013-05-02T17:16:00

The nice-looking graphics drew me in but the incredibly floaty/slidey controls and glitchy collisions immediately prevented me from having any fun with this game. And it made my computer bluescreen when I pressed esc to exit.

O by Mystify 2013-05-02T16:38:00

Very nicely simplified take on the 3D platformer genre. Some things to note, though, are that the camera felt very jerky and some of the coins felt tedious to pick up (maybe their collision box should've been bigger?). The music is fairly generic but it's unobtrusive and works for the purpose. The coin sound is kind of weird.

Parabox by Jon Fischer 2013-05-02T17:04:00

Hmm, I really enjoyed this at first but it started getting realy frustrating later on when I couldn't tell what the vertical position of the blocks were. I had to stop playing at the "let's take a picture" level because I was getting to angry at the game. That being said the game is very impressive for a Ludum Dare game. The graphics look very nice and polished and the music works for what it is. I'm also very impressed with the amount of mechanics and content you managed to put into the game. The jumping controls got incredibly frustrating at times, though.

Blanket the Earth by EricTheCoolDude 2013-05-02T16:02:00

@mollymus Yeah, you have to click the top of the trees in the LD version, there was an issue with the colliders for the trunks. I've been working on a post-LD version that should be out soon which fixes that and numerous other issues.

Downcast by JessePB 2013-05-02T18:12:00

Nice sounds, nice visuals. I wish it had gameplay, though.

Cave Runner by PhaZ90771 2013-05-02T16:26:00

I would play it but trying to run it just brings up a dialog box telling me MSVCP110.dll is missing.

Take The Red Orb by Gareth Jenkins 2013-05-02T16:30:00

It is a thing of beauty! The gameplay is a bit simple for my tastes but the crazy amount of polish more than makes up for it.

Lack of Civilization by V0ID 2013-05-02T16:24:00

I enjoyed it, it was incredibly short though. The audio was a bit barebones but at least it's not annoying.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Darn Clock by sirdorius 2013-08-27T20:06:00

Very fun and simple! Nicely done.
