LD22 — Alone

Barriers by FacticiusVir 2011-12-19T11:21:00

Damn, got the URLs mixed up; fixed now!

Barriers by FacticiusVir 2012-01-06T12:32:00

Gah, hosting is down; will get this fixed ASAP.

Barriers by FacticiusVir 2012-01-06T18:49:00

Should be working now.

BLIND by howieV (binarygirl) 2011-12-19T19:59:00

I try to run this and get "Could not find the main class: Alone. Program will exit." on Win7 x64.

LD25 — You are the Villain

Invasion of the Replicators by JesterBLUE 2012-12-19T21:04:00

I'm getting the same "javaw" error on Windows 8...

The World is Mine! by matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-17T03:40:00

Liked the idea; UI was a bit tricky, and it took a minute to work out what I was supposed to do and how you're supposed to win (why did new cities appearing halfway through?) but basically fun and definitely fits the theme.

The Great Train Robbery by monkeymad2 2012-12-17T20:06:00

Damn unions!

AI Rampage by FacticiusVir 2012-12-17T19:12:00

Could probably port to XNA, though that means installing XNA instead ;)

AI Rampage by FacticiusVir 2012-12-19T02:05:00

Now ported to Windows, using Monogame!

LD26 — Minimalism

Minimal Theory by ENP 2013-04-29T22:10:00

Not sure what to make of this; there's no relation to the theme beyond the title, it's difficult to see what game content/functionality wasn't part of the UDK and what was created during the competition, and I'm not sure there's a game in there so much as a series of set pieces. While it's nice to see someone using some different toolsets, I can't rate this because I can't work out what the baseline is.

Less is More by FacticiusVir 2013-04-29T18:32:00

Which buttons aren't working?

Less is More by FacticiusVir 2013-04-29T20:46:00

Be sure to check if you have .NET 4.5 & XNA 4 (Refresh) installed - there's links in the description at the top of this page.

Less is More by FacticiusVir 2013-04-29T21:02:00

@KilledByAPixel - yeah, I get that; I just came up with a list of trade goods and kind of stuck with it, didn't spend enough time working on that area of game balance.

@CMayhem - Thanks! The economy is simplified to guarantee that the random universe would never leave you stuck in a position you couldn't make money from, but with more structure to the universe generation I could probably plan the economy better. The next items on my ToDo list, after sound effects, where limiting travel distances & and a Buy Max button!

@cahman - Yup, the economy is very flat, so there's a lot of scope for improvement there. The planet name generator was thrown together in the five minutes before the competition ended, and combines 2-4 random syllables from a set containing all combinations of a consonant and a vowel - code is here http://bit.ly/11RnAzx

Less is More by FacticiusVir 2013-04-29T21:04:00

@HuvaaKoodia - Fullscreen was interfering with streaming to Twitch, so that was a casualty of my vanity, I'm afraid!

Less is More by FacticiusVir 2013-04-29T21:15:00

As a few people have mentioned a crash on start-up, I've uploaded a new version with a crash-report dialog; if you don't see that appear and it still crashes, it's almost certainly that you've not got the right version of .NET

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Diesel May Care: Quest For The Ten-Second Car by nintendoeats 2013-08-26T02:47:00

I had to GTFO mid-way through ripping a part - now, if I go back and try to rip another part, it stays stuck at the percentage of the rip I gave up on.

Robot squad by chabuduo 2013-08-26T02:40:00

Tried the first level of the web version (Windows 8, Chrome), but when I move my robot onto the bomb nothing happens.

Star Rover by FacticiusVir 2013-08-26T02:48:00

Infernal: Apologies for asking the obvious, but have you got .NET 4.5 & XNA 4.0 installed?

Star Rover by FacticiusVir 2013-08-27T10:31:00

@RustyBrromHandle: Curses - will have to see if I can replicate it.

Star Rover by FacticiusVir 2013-09-01T22:30:00

You can right-click items in a program to delete them.

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Portal 3D by Bendix 2014-08-25T02:33:00

O_o

Nebula by franklyn 2014-08-25T03:03:00

The game starts, I get the intro then see the ship, but it freezes there with the music playing.

Blue Screen by varun 2014-08-25T01:52:00

I really love the theme and the look...but I'm stuck in the first cyberspace area. When I get to the other end of the passage and click the other cylinder, I just go back to the terminal where I started...

A Space Trade Game by callumW 2014-08-25T01:26:00

Is there a win condition?

Ultimatum by Asbrion 2014-08-25T20:45:00

I played a game against myself and everyone lost.

Think Fast by shico 2014-08-25T02:56:00

I've seen a few people using itch.io for online hosting, though I've not used it myself. You can always share web pages from the Dropbox public folder; it's the easiest way to get your web version hosted if you don't have an existing website.

Think Fast by shico 2014-08-25T02:58:00

Also, please using something other than fileswap, the spam pages and talking adverts are a nightmare.

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Galactic Core 2-D by daftcube 2014-12-08T03:49:00

Web version doesn't open, tries to download the webpage instead.

Escape by Jamjie 2014-12-08T03:33:00

I'm struggling to play, because the window comes up bigger than my screen and I can't see the edges.

LonelyPlanet by jstzwd 2014-12-09T02:15:00

It's a shame I can't rate this on audio, because it's excellent.

Squint Maze by AlSweigart 2014-12-08T03:40:00

I can't see a blue dot or a green dot - running at 1920x1080

Illinois Smith and the Temple of the Sky by FacticiusVir 2014-12-08T04:18:00

@Fnkee Had one or two people say the same thing - not sure what the missing dependency is, will try and fix it ASAP

Illinois Smith and the Temple of the Sky by FacticiusVir 2014-12-08T04:36:00

@Andrea The file to run is Keeper.LD31.exe

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Darkness Consumes by mokesmoe 2015-04-21T18:30:00

I see we had a similar idea :-D I think your implementation of lighting worked out better, though I'm not 100% sure what I'm supposed to do or how long I'm supposed to hold out for.

Amidst the Shadows by FacticiusVir 2015-04-20T02:47:00

Are you sure that's mine? I'm not using Unity, or Javascript...

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Swarm Hunter by HuvaaKoodia 2015-12-14T03:18:00

Couldn't get the hang of the controls, and wasn't sure how close I was supposed to be before I could attack the mosquitos. Enjoyed the art style and animations though.

Snake by FacticiusVir 2016-01-05T01:55:00

Needs the latest .NET Framework - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=48130
