LD25 — You are the Villain

Boss Level by Kuothe 2012-12-17T20:46:00

Great one! congratulations, very funny and very well done :) on the top!

One question: how good is Unity for 2d games? do you use any special library? I'm tempted to try, but as it is very 3d oriented, I'm not quite sure..

Destroy All Heroes by Vennril 2012-12-18T18:20:00

Great great! amazing, fantastic job! the sounds are really missed, and some blood too.. but I know, I know, no time.. :D

Harold is an Executioner by PaulSB 2012-12-17T05:14:00

great job! nice mood and idea :)

Bullet Hell Reversed by arch.jslin 2012-12-17T05:01:00

great job, loving the hexagons

Atomic Creep Spawner!! by deepnight 2012-12-18T11:03:00

5 stars, very very impressive work, congrats!

The other side by vrld 2012-12-17T04:06:00

I totally agree with metadept. Best entry until now! congrats :))

Hunter to Hunted by Jwatt 2012-12-19T19:13:00

Great work! I was going to ask about the music too, 'cause it seems too elaborated an complex to be done in those 48h! nice work

NONEX by feiss 2012-12-17T02:22:00

troups == troops

NONEX by feiss 2012-12-17T03:12:00

Thanks! :)

NONEX by feiss 2012-12-17T04:09:00

thanks to everybody! :) I think it could be really fun, but it needs more features and gameplay tweaking (too easy/short now)..

hint: you can use keys 1-6 to jump to a level.

NONEX by feiss 2012-12-17T14:45:00

Thanks to everyone!

It's funny, some say it's deadly simple, others that is very difficult. Interesting..

LD28 — You Only Get One

The Follower by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2013-12-18T08:00:00

Gorgeous art, quite ambitious gameplay, some bugs, and great concept (stone age, you only have one follower! brilliant XD )

Matchbox by Sos 2013-12-16T10:33:00

A dos game, way too cool! A brave effort. What did you used for it? Plain C? allegro? Sdl? Graphics are great.

YOGO PATH by cesisco 2013-12-16T15:41:00

One of the best so far! :)
And if you made the music from scratch, you are very good, doctor.

Doubt by rxi 2013-12-17T21:13:00

When I grow up I wanna be like you

The Last Rock by JaviCepa 2013-12-16T18:38:00

Amazing!! I hope this one wins! The gameplay the physics and the rock provide is really funny, it's a pity the game is so short :)

Flowing Death Fist by turnA 2013-12-16T15:48:00

the concept is quite nice! but the game itself is not quite fun :) maybe if the cascade explosions were much more fast..

Jameson The Pilot by rezoner 2013-12-17T21:02:00

Amazing, I can't believe it. Gentlemen, we have a winner.

11111!!!.. by alcorrius 2013-12-16T15:49:00

ha ha :D

Spell of Old by Tanser 2013-12-17T10:20:00

agree! the music helps, and the blink thing is a nice idea :)

Purpose by deepnight 2013-12-17T10:15:00

7 hours! amazing as usual. And there are some great ideas in it :) congrats!

You Only Get One Shot by embero 2013-12-16T15:37:00

224. Great job!

You only get one COLOUR by soy_yuma 2013-12-16T03:11:00

Very innovative!! :O great job

JKSDAG by feiss 2013-12-16T08:02:00

thank you pals! :)

JKSDAG by feiss 2013-12-16T15:44:00

Totally agree turnA, I wanted at least to add moving enemies on the platforms, but I was stupid and went polishing everything else before, and then I run out of time. :)

JKSDAG by feiss 2013-12-16T18:44:00

Thank you!
Ozeotropo, your game is outstanding! I hope it wins! :)

JKSDAG by feiss 2013-12-17T19:37:00

thank you for creating it! :)

JKSDAG by feiss 2013-12-20T18:13:00

Thanks Alan, yours is amazing! better looking than mine for sure :)

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

A Glorious Escape for A Lich King by Benjamin 2014-04-28T16:10:00

amazing. This is amazing, great job man, you must be very proud! Of tens of games i've tried, this is the funniest!

Beneath the Cave by feiss 2014-04-28T13:05:00

Wow, thank you for the kind words, I didn't expect such this welcome. :)

I feel I could expand it a lot indeed, but don't know if it's worth it.. I'll see how it goes :)

Beneath the Cave by feiss 2014-04-28T14:45:00

Thanks guys. Cageinabird, it's funny you complain about the font, because I tried to change it but didn't work (line 6 in the html source code) :D

Beneath the Cave by feiss 2014-04-30T09:57:00

Thanks guys :)
Romko: amazing! Quite similar concept! :)

Beneath the Cave by feiss 2014-05-14T23:25:00

Thank youu! :_)

Yumbugs by Hypnohustla 2014-04-28T14:32:00

great!! best overall entry I've tried so far. Amazing in every aspect, I hate those bugs..

Beneath the City by deepnight 2014-04-28T14:41:00

I love it! the best I've played so far.

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Swords and Hammers by nicotuason 2014-12-30T11:23:00

I love it! simple to play, hard to win, funny, aesthetically pleasing.. and with some serious code inside. Great, great job!! :)

Orion The Cat In A Winter Puzzle-Land by mactinite 2014-12-08T19:12:00

well done! what an amazing load of work done.. :)

Spiral Wings by Joe Williamson 2014-12-08T03:37:00

Brutal music and graphics. I love your style!

Snowball juggling Olympio by Benjamin 2014-12-30T11:24:00

So good!! A very well deserved position. Very polished, amazing in all aspects!

Law Breaker by deepnight 2014-12-08T03:26:00

Brilliant as usual. I'm amazed of how it excels in every aspect. Gameplay, graphics, sound.. congratulations! :)

birdsong by managore 2014-12-30T11:24:00

Long life the winner! very deserved :)

Bullet Beat by ekun 2014-12-17T13:14:00

I love it! very addictive and fun! :)

A Fine White Line by Taunia Sabanski 2014-12-15T08:48:00

Great one!! The amazing music, the countdown and the cops arriving really makes your anxious and excited, which is a really good point of the game. Graphics are very original and funny too, really nice.

The interface is a bit tricky, I missed some (auditive?) feedback when using the inventory and the objects, so I could know if what I'm doing is valid or not.

Also, I found myself very lost in the beginning, and it was a bit frustrating running around the house not knowing what to do with the hammer. But hey!!! I guess that's the point :D The music helps to that frustration, and I guess in real life I would do the same, running and spinning around all house not knowing what the heck do :D So instead of a bad thing I think this is a great achievement of the game.

I could finish the game in the 3rd play (I'm not a good murderer), and after that I missed more game :)

Great game, very funny, well done! congrats!

Visibility Zero by molecats 2014-12-16T14:50:00

amazing entry, 5/5

Untraveled by khahem 2014-12-08T19:00:00

nice puzzles!

Labyrinth by DDRKirby(ISQ) 2014-12-30T11:33:00

Incredible work! not only you had time to craft such great soundtrack, but also great mechanics, lots of interesting levels, and a dancing main character! good job!

Communications Control by PapyPilgrim 2014-12-15T15:02:00

This is cool!! more complex than mine indeed, but similar in some way :D I love the mood, the sounds, and the polished gameplay of it. Great work!

Orion by feiss 2014-12-08T13:25:00

Thank you guys! I know it's not a complex game, but I'm very glad you share this little trip to the stars with me :)

I'll take a look to the issues with some browsers..

Orion by feiss 2014-12-08T18:33:00

Thank you guys! I appreciate the comments. I worked hard into the mood and immersion of the game, it feels good to know that it works somehow.

fleegle2000: thanks! All sounds and music are hand made (audacity, bitwig). The voice in the radio is my own voice with my nose closed and distorted, heh

Random Abductions: Thank you! Its a good tip, would be great to have all kind of levers, knobs and buttons in the cockpit to play with. I did the menus thinking of adding more kind of "minigames" in them, so it would have some more gameplay, but I had no time to do more :( but that would be less realistic, and it seems that people like the 'simulation' part of the game, so your tip could be great indeed!

Krisjet: passing near the moon, use its gravity to reach mars, and land on it could be amazing, uh? Yeah..

Orion by feiss 2014-12-08T22:54:00

Tuism: thanks! The planet is visible because I thought it would make the experience more enjoyable than looking to a black empty space :) but is funny how some ask for a more scientifically accurate experience :)
About the graphics error.. You may turn the rocket way far up or down and exit the sky sprite. At that point you should get a game over screen, but you didn't.. Sure it's a bug! :P

rnlf: yes, i did! Well, before starting anything I spent a couple of hours researching about the actual orion and the shuttle take off sequence, and stuff like that. Thanks! :)

Orion by feiss 2014-12-09T09:51:00

I think the bug in Firefox and Safari is fixed now, sorry!

Orion by feiss 2014-12-09T12:49:00

thanks man! Yes indeed, the theme was pretty odd :P

Orion by feiss 2014-12-09T16:15:00

cxsquared: oh man, fuck! Your're totally right! I thought of playing some sfx on the separation phases but with the rush I completely forgot! Damn :D

Thank you everybody! You are very generous :)

Orion by feiss 2014-12-09T17:17:00

Yeah, you are totally right about the Pitch thing.. I didn't have time to polish the gameplay any more, and it ended quite silly :P

Orion by feiss 2014-12-09T23:17:00

JoshuaBurr: yes, something odd happens in Safari.. Chrome is the recommended browser, if you can test it in it.. sorry! :/

panda: hmm.. I researched for 2 hours about launching sequences, so some steps and terminology is actual stuff, but many is made up.. and also, I don't believe that the astronauts have to press many buttons on take off, I suppose everything is automated and controlled from Launch Control, don't you think? dunno, really.. :D

Thanks everybody again! :)

Orion by feiss 2014-12-15T14:50:00

Dagnarus:

Since it's html+javascript, you can check the source code by right clicking on the page, and choose "view source code". The main game code is in that js1k.js. (The same applies to my older entries but NONEX, which is Flash and for which I provided the source)

Don't know if there are similar sounds at freesound.org (maybe you could point those out), but all I can say is that all sounds are made with my microphone, audacity and bitwig. I have some original WAVs but not all, for I work very unorganized with sound.. :P

I'll try to stream my ludum dare next time X)

Thank you everybody for the comments!!

Orion by feiss 2014-12-21T10:27:00

Thanks again guys! :D

Alyphen: since it's an html+javascript game, you can view the source directly, with the "view page source" option in your browser :)

Orion by feiss 2014-12-24T07:28:00

Taviandir: since it's an html+javascript game, you can view the source directly, with the "view page source" option in your browser :)

Orion by feiss 2014-12-26T11:13:00

Hoqjed: thank you so much for sharing your ideas and feelings. I will take all that into account if I go on with this :)

LD33 — You are the Monster

Mobs, Inc. by Pietro Ferrantelli 2015-09-15T16:04:00

Amazing job guys! well deserved winner, is a 5/5 in everything!

Otherworldly Stars by Sam Twidale 2015-08-24T05:54:00

Oh, What an unexpected honor! Thanks so much. The mood and graphics in this game are superb, congratulations!! I love it

Campaign Trail OF BODIES by inurashii 2015-08-24T13:16:00

Monster Academy by feiss 2015-08-24T08:36:00

Thanks guys!
Kcaze: total score is 200, so you are not a bad monster :)
Daan: wow, thanks! ^^

Monster Academy by feiss 2015-08-25T09:31:00

Thanks people! :_)

Monster Academy by feiss 2015-08-26T09:23:00

Thank you!
The trick in the squashing game is to aim with the mouse, not the finger..

Monster Academy by feiss 2015-08-27T06:24:00

Thanks! Hah, I don't think you can learn good things from my code.. I just try to keep it simple, going straight to the point. KISS philosophy plus some bad coding practices :D

Monster Academy by feiss 2015-08-27T22:52:00

Thanks! Yup, I have to make it work on mobile.. It works on some androids already, buy the interaction has to be adjusted.

Monster Academy by feiss 2015-08-31T21:57:00

Thanks again guys! :_)

Jupiter: that was very kind of you, thank you! :)

ChaosCult: yup, it's always difficult to have a whole weekend available, I usually plan it with 1 month in advance, but real life wins sometimes :_)
Nice words, thank you Mr. ChaosCult member :)

Monster Academy by feiss 2015-09-05T22:29:00

Wow wow woww! Thank you guys! I really appreciate it. I had a lot of fun making it hoping some people get the same fun and sense of humor, and many of you did, which makes me very happy! :D

Monster Academy by feiss 2015-09-08T13:31:00

Wow!! Thanks, your tips are very good, and I agree with you. The timer would be very easy to add, I just didn't think of it. The difficult curve is done in minutes, procedurally, and not very good at all, it would need to be adjusted. Also, the binary result (pass or no pass) or at least a much more clear scoring system would definitively help. Now it's quite obscure.

Thanks a lot! :)

Monster Academy by feiss 2015-09-12T15:24:00
