Oversize Load by quadtree 2017-12-04T00:36:27Z

Stuck.png

Oh noes, I'm stuck! At least I can stay here all day listening to this music. Nothing reloading the page can't fix though!

Edit: Just noticed the R key.

Calorie by Terryd98 2017-12-04T04:20:40Z

Levels are cruel and unforgiving... Loved it.

Exploding Golf, with Lovable Piggies by OldPeculier 2017-12-04T04:44:25Z

Took me a while to figure out I needed to press the 'z' key. It looked more like an 'o' strangely enough.

Of Fates and Feels by bwalter 2017-12-04T03:29:34Z

I think every party needs a wizard. As fragile as they are, they seem crucial to defeating enemies early on. Wish it was more clear on the game mechanics though.

Sad Knight by Quaternius 2017-12-05T00:40:58Z

The linux download is an 0-byte sized file. Sad! Looking forward to it when the download is fixed.

Patient Zero by btwj 2017-12-04T04:45:58Z

Very fun. My only complaint is the white locations on the white background. Hard to see.

Drink Drink DRINK by baknik 2017-12-04T03:54:40Z

I'm nort drung, I'ff only haaad 25 drinks. My advice to fellow drink guzzlers is not to guide the hand, but let the hand guide you.

Adventure of temple by Querk 2017-12-05T00:27:06Z

I needed to install libsfml-dev to run this (Linux). Graphics are quite good.

The People's Army - a lite rock paper scissor TBS Game by Zapakitul 2017-12-04T03:41:40Z

Felt good getting through the levels. Found it strange that you can stack a unit on an enemy's, however.

I'm tired of all your stuff by oliverlevay 2017-12-05T01:14:09Z

Hilarious. My only complaint is the mouse controls are a bit wonky, even when adjusting the mouse sensitivity.

Greedy Dungeons by Nils -Gecko- Munch 2017-12-04T05:02:11Z

Too challenging for me, but good design all round. Very polished.

Ocean Cleanup by vila3175 2017-12-04T03:46:33Z

Sea changing color was certainly a nice touch. Music needs work, but is off to a good start.

LD45 — Start with nothing

Red Vs Green by Flying Cat of the Pepes 2019-10-10T00:32:32Z

Good game, would have appreciated if you included the Linux lwjgl natives in the jar file (I had to recreate the jar myself in order to run the game) however. Sound effects are funny and gameplay is addicting. Good job.

Duck Fortress by shrapx 2019-10-09T23:42:20Z

The puzzles were good, hindered only by the controls. Character designs were also quite nice.

Bless by Fatsheep 2019-10-08T23:01:10Z

In Bless, I'm glad to see the friends I've made along the way... Now if only these friends of mine could get out of my way!

Adrift by jwiggs 2019-10-07T06:46:48Z

Some tips for players: 1) the three parts you need are near spawn, just restart the game if you get lost before getting them. 2) W and S are forward / backward, and A and D are spin one way or another. 3) You can mine asteroids for parts by destroying them. 4) Use the mouse wheel to scroll along the parts list. 5) you can only have one hull at a time, remove the old one when you upgrade. 6) Turn down your volume :wink:

Couldn't figure out how to get shields charged though. Also, I felt like I was always rotating too slow or too fast. Would have also liked to combine hulls for huge ships. Adrift.png

Voidborn by Shelvid 2019-10-10T23:14:36Z

Very good level design with very smooth control. One of the more fun games I've played here. Difficult, but I got all the way through. Also, V01-D is the spitting image of the boomer meme.

V01-D = Boomer.png

March of the Gladiators by FinalForeach 2019-10-07T08:12:45Z

@joellikespigs Thanks! I would have had different armour sets, but the sprite work with weapons and armor was exponential and I wasn't sure how to do it effectively.

@lamossus The bow is pretty powerful, but the armour + sword combo does give you an extra 15 health with faster attacks :sunglasses:

March of the Gladiators by FinalForeach 2019-10-10T15:58:46Z

@nikolaj it should have the natives for mac as well, can you post the full error?

Newborn AI by Lars-Erik 2019-10-10T22:18:20Z

Looks like a nice game, but I was unable to play since it lagged out once I exited from the office server.

Cave People Exosdus by HowlingShame 2019-10-07T08:05:22Z

Oh paradise, I cannot say how long I have waited for you!

Paradise2.png

FromNothing by Copito 2019-10-08T16:00:55Z

Being a warrior is hungry work! Graphics were top notch for that style, controls were good. If the story is more fleshed out, this could have a lot of potential. :thumbsup: The font needs to be slightly cleaner as the top of the 'E' and the 'H' looks glitchy.

Soundsearcher by nicross 2019-10-07T05:44:46Z

Very unique and fitting to the theme. That said, when trying to pinpoint some sound, it can be difficult to know whether to move up or down. Also oddly realistic buzzing insects.:bee:

Writers Block by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-10-07T16:43:57Z

Maxed upgrades, website is ldjam and... I'm in debt. I knew selling ideas was too good to be true! debt2.png

Writers Block by Copper_Aardvark_Games 2019-10-07T17:15:26Z

@copper-aardvark-games I already purchased everything, so there was nothing to test. Nothing to be concerned about though, it was just an integer overflow from getting *too much* money.

Emergency Procedures by enderr42 2019-10-10T21:53:55Z

The idea and graphics were good, but a bug which where you hit a corner makes you unable to move made it very difficult to play.

emergency-procedures-bug.png

The special effects were very cool when you were hit by an asteroid.

Meager Genesis by Hajden 2019-10-07T09:12:15Z

Very well done. Good graphics, good sound, good controls. Not much gameplay, but the ambiance makes up for it many times over.

Nought - Procedurally Generated Dungeon by sacredbacon 2019-10-08T15:31:47Z

Cool game, once I figured out how to utilize the bombs enemies were dropping like flies. When going down a stair case however, I got this crash (I'm not sure which exception caused the game to freeze, so I'm posting all three):

JO-KEN-DO! by Hcursino 2019-10-07T08:52:56Z

Funny game. Music is high quality for the time frame given. If I had to improve on this game, I would add effects to the attacks, such as characters jolting when hit or a quick flash of the icon of the attack used towards the enemy.

Robo-Fort by geoff.nagy 2019-10-07T07:09:21Z

Couldn't start the game, I crashed, even though I started it from the bin folder. Disclaimer: I was using Wine to run this Windows game on Linux.

Output:

`[07-10 08:05:02]: starting SIGIL...`

`[07-10 08:05:04]: loading assets...`

`sliLoadWaveFormat() encountered AL error 40963 when buffering ../wav/next-level.wav`

Slimy Situation by PetTurtle 2019-10-07T17:30:02Z

The slime frameworks are fun to play with, but the rest of the game is too slow paced, and when you fail a level, you have to go through the slow movement all over again. Also, thanks for the native Linux build :thumbsup:

Nocero by Empty Set 2019-10-10T23:41:24Z

Cool graphics, inventive mechanics, but it crashes if you try to 'Think' if you've already learned everything.

Creation - a weird story of how nothing can become something by dqmhose 2019-10-07T17:12:10Z

That narrator keeps closing the game on me! And my humans are happy... too happy... suspiciously happy... :thinking:

LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Endless Orbits by Wevel 2020-10-05T16:58:09Z

If your planet crashes into another one it says your planet has run out of materials. Is this intentional?

Flight Stick Uncalibrated by thingus 2020-10-05T11:24:41Z

flight-stick.png

If you go near the edge of the map, collision stops working with the ground. Good take on the theme.

Hamster Tank by elemel 2020-10-05T11:57:42Z

I'm stuck at the title screen :( I can't press anything or click anything to continue. Pressing 'Esc' only closes the game.

Hamster Tank by elemel 2020-10-05T12:58:57Z

@elemel Yes the enter key worked. I don't have anyone to do multiplayer with, but the game controls well, and I'd imagine it would be fun to play. I'm glad someone ended up doing a hamster wheel type game for this theme.

Save Her by Lestat 2020-10-07T11:38:19Z

Wonderful game, and I didn't expect to be moved by that ending!

Keys and Goblins by FinalForeach 2020-10-05T23:58:38Z

@wevel It seems the download link is broken, it's supposed to be the bugfix version 1.0.1 which fixes the enemy problem, which you can get here: https://github.com/FinalForEach/LD47-keys-and-goblins/releases/download/1.0.1/LD47-keys-and-goblins-1.0.1.jar .

*EDIT: * I've reproduced the enemy bug in my code, but I can't seem to figure out why. Hmm...

The ending level uses the same generation with an exit that restarts the game, so if that exit is missing it's a bug I haven't found myself yet.

Barrel Roll by SpaceGuy99 2020-10-05T16:46:38Z

Good game, controls are smooth, and the quick death screens are a nice feature. Unfortunately if the door closes on you, you can't do anything except close the game.

Beyond Orbit by Zypo 2020-10-05T11:39:23Z

Good game mechanics, graphics and music. My only complaint is that the song restarts whenever you decide to restart after dying.

The Vendor by Shambles 2020-10-07T11:54:17Z

Also got stuck on lvl 2 due to the GO glitch. The UI should be improved to be more clear that an item is selected as well. The music is lovely and it's nice that it changes for each level.

Hiccup Time by Somogy 2020-10-06T12:13:34Z

I'm guessing the bookshelves were a placeholder graphic :wink: Great graphics and sound all around.

Get in the Loop! by toasteater 2020-10-06T12:18:25Z

I feel ashamed for rating this so highly, but it deserves it! I got a score of 82s

Loopedy Island by Douwe_Ravers 2020-10-06T17:05:28Z

I can't even imagine the work needed to do a 3d game for this compo, half my time was spent debugging a 2d game! But hey, I'd imagine the flying cars aren't a bug, more so the citizens of loopedy island found the only way to escape- through the skies...!

VINYLED by Kamuniaft 2020-10-09T09:36:32Z

Very cool. At first I didn't realize there was more than one vinyl, and was disappointed with the single short loop, but I ignored it since it was a ludum dare game after all... But then I figured it out, and was impressed by the multiple tracks you made! I only suggest you add an in game indicator that the player should switch tracks (at least the first time).

Down the Bullet Hole by Justin Klinchuch 2020-10-05T12:03:48Z

Smooth animations, fun gameplay, all is good here!

Trials of the Twisted Timber Land by Enad96 2020-10-05T17:28:59Z

@extar it seems you have to download the source zip, then run the exe in the directory of the source. The exe can't run on its own.

Trials of the Twisted Timber Land by Enad96 2020-10-05T18:19:40Z

Music starts simple, but turns out lovely towards the end. Animations are nice. Slime enemies may appear outside of the walls. Took me a while to figure out what to do, but hey, it's a puzzle after all.

The Loop, the Fat and the Rusty by Hydrasil 2020-10-05T11:18:24Z

When I try to run the linux binary it gives me the error `/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./the_loop_bad_rusty_lnx)`, and I'm not sure I'm even able to upgrade libc6.
