LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

BEARPG by MaxguN 2014-12-08T10:59:00

Cool little game! Would have liked to see a "mouse-aim" (the guy kick/punch towards your mouse. Simple but effective art style, prefere this over mashed low res textures.
Good job!

Oven by SojaBird 2014-12-08T11:53:00

Well it is what it says on the tin. An oven... ...and a not-yet-done-bread....
but 3d gives extra points ;)

Extraterrestrial Confinement by icedvariables 2014-12-08T12:44:00

Cool idea but the feeding and watering dont seem to do alot. Also i got a bug where it said i won even though i was eaten...? Other than that, cool!

Snowbert by spacedoubt 2014-12-28T08:36:00

Cool little game!

Santa's Reindeers by frokes 2014-12-08T12:39:00

Fixed That

Santa's Last Stand by GameStudioLive 2014-12-08T02:30:00

Cool game Ollie! I would have increased the range of the turrets but its nice how it is!

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Apocalyptia by manabreak 2015-04-20T13:16:00

Nice graphics and the lighting creates a nice feeling. Enemy damage underscaled? Boss damage too high?
Nice work!

Apocalyptia by manabreak 2015-04-20T13:23:00

Nice graphics and the lighting creates a nice feeling but i think the enemy damage is underscaled except for the boss, that damage is insane!
Nice work!

OPERATOR 42 by TravisChen 2015-04-25T14:48:00

Love it!!! This is a evil-genius/alien problem simulator with it's on automated help service! really nice game.

Mortal Coil by CogComp 2015-04-20T16:13:00

Like the idea but it needs some tweaking, like the jump and the way the cubes behave sometimes.

I CRUSH YOU by grillaface 2015-04-20T13:54:00

Nice game with good graphics, the sharp contrast between hd and pixel art is nice. The only thing to tweak is the length of the game.

The Halfburn Incident by xhunterko 2015-04-25T13:55:00

Akward hiboxes and it is not really clear where you can go and where you can't.

Limb by Limb by AdamW 2015-04-25T11:41:00

Very nice game! The "next-level" system is a bit confusing at the start. It's nice to have a game that is challanging without being broken or glitched.

Radiant Red by PixelMind 2015-04-20T16:30:00

Great game but not for this theme? Cool graphics and the music is great but i don't see how this fits to the theme.
Other than that very well done!

Blockman & Tuna by ninjascript 2015-04-25T11:53:00

Nice concept but i will have to agree with you that it doesn't really feel finished. Good attempt of making a turn based game.

Microwave Man by AlexanderTeaH 2015-04-20T16:22:00

Nice game! Really like the fact that the damage changes depending on the cone that you shoot. Overall nice sounds and nice and clean graphics but i feel like you need some kind of overheating or energy limit otherwise you can just camp in the survival mode and pretty much get an unlimited score...!

Rock Of Sleep by SkullPixel 2015-04-20T17:18:00

Nice art-style and a funny idea. Had some problems getting it to work on the page but the standalone worked. I also like that the level gets randomized each time you start.

The Quest for The Golden Spoon by frokes 2015-04-20T13:46:00

yeah i have to change that name :P

The Quest for The Golden Spoon by frokes 2015-04-20T13:46:00

give me a second

The Quest for The Golden Spoon by frokes 2015-04-20T13:48:00

Thank you!

The Quest for The Golden Spoon by frokes 2015-04-20T14:11:00

@Finn The lighting is basicly a dark gray surface that is drawn over the view. The lights then create white/yellow circles on that surface and merges that with the surface.
Also the key to fighting is kiting ;) attack -> turn and walk -> turn -> attack and repeat.

The Quest for The Golden Spoon by frokes 2015-04-20T14:12:00

@Thepattybeast Yes that one. But it should be renamed to "The Quest for the Golden Spoon" now.

SWATCH by TheScragglyMan 2015-04-25T13:46:00

Nice concept! The whole concept of having the swatches as weapons is nice but the movement and color switching is still lacking a little bit.
Well done and it was nice talking to you during the event.

Star seal by Zo0MER 2015-04-20T13:45:00

Eh..wut??? A bit confusing but it's a nice idea.
It has potential.

Fleet Meat by Destruktorrr 2015-04-20T14:06:00

Nice work! Really cool graphics (love the reflections in the bots body!!!). the AI isnt perfect but i didn't expect it to be. Overall a good and fun game.

It Overtakes Them by purenickery 2015-04-20T13:02:00

Love the graphics and animations. The only thing i would tweak is the length of the days, they are a little bit to short in my mind.
Good job!

Gift Of The Gods by MightyToast 2015-04-20T16:11:00

"Toaster!"*Epic voice* :D Love that! Really nice sound and the cool lights/shadows on the maps. Something that feels wrong is the time that the toasts stay after that you have fired them. Also the enemies seem to stop moving if they get hurt. Good game!

Terminal Velocity by morrilet 2015-04-20T17:04:00

Nice idea but it doesn't give alot of gameplay. Graphics are as good as can be expected from a ludum dare game. The animation of the people walking is nice and fluid. This game lacks alot but it could be good with a little bit more content.

Tree Trunk Trooper by OmnipotentPotatoDEV 2015-04-20T13:59:00

Has potential but it lacks a tutorial or any kind of instructions. You might have to consider lowering the difficulty.

Sten the Keyboard Warrior by Peatuno 2015-04-20T13:05:00

A completely playable game but it lacks alot of things. The energy is very limited and the damage that the enemies deal is just pathetic, i stod there and tanked the damage for atleast 30 sec :/
Keep it up and you will get there!

Super SALT Helmet by DarkwindMedia 2015-04-25T14:05:00

Nice little game with a nice multiplayer possibility. Would have liked a possibility to have some AIs for those that don't have someone else to test the game with and some more levels.

Agent Of Souls by Norbex 2015-04-20T17:13:00

Intresting mechanic. It's nice that it actually is so simple but so powerfull. I had some trouble with the jumping and lasering animations making me get stuck in the walls and the jump doesn't always work when you walk on spikes in soul mode. Overall a nice game!

NO TIME TO EXPLAIN: GET IN THE LLAMA by Nidar 2015-04-20T13:30:00

Hahahaha, nice! a llama simulator :) Like the concept and execution but i think you should add a better collision between the player and the snowmen(?!).
Great work!

Gravity-Gun by pianoman373 2015-04-20T17:25:00

nice idea with a lot of possiblilties. In my eyes the game window itself is way too small, it's like I'm controlling ants. The problem with the clicking event is really anoying. Overall a nice idea.

Bad and Breakfast by Krisjet 2015-04-20T11:54:00

Great idea! Graphics are Ok but i think the movment needs some tweaking, don't like the way you keep moving to the sides when you are mid-air.
Other than that, well done!

Nuke Whaling by Homletmoo 2015-04-20T16:52:00

I'm not able to play it :C The website throws an error at me and then it loads the game. When the game is loaded i see the menu but it doesn't respond to the spacebar. But it looks really good

LD33 — You are the Monster

Monster Truck Logistics by PTSnoop 2015-08-24T21:33:00

Cool idea and the car physics are better than other that i've seen today. Although the steering is inverted while driving backwards (I thik that is just a matter of how one thinks about steering). I had some issues with the trailers flying away.... and the trailers accelerated on their own, somehow.

Mow Town by Dell 2015-08-24T19:36:00

Nice graphics, but it feels like you are driving a frickin UFO on soap...! But nice work on the graphics!

de-monstration by aprotasenya 2015-08-24T20:44:00

Hm, nice art style and story but the collision is rather frustrating. Would also benefit from the ability to hit downwards and upwards. Still a nice game!

MikeDave by vlaminck 2015-08-24T19:38:00

Don't want to be rude but i don't think there will be alot of testers unless you port it to a more generic platform. But what do I know

Tower Clicker by Cawrtz 2015-08-24T19:43:00

Hmm...intresting concept. though it feels very repetitive and punishing. Maybe makeing the towers "perma"-die would give it a bit more flow.

Golbertz Party Sing-A-Long by Franklin's Ghost 2015-09-04T09:33:00

Took me a while to figure out that you were supposed to click on the loading screen but after that it was a really funny little game. Credits for the cool audio.

A Peaceful Farm Stroll by iMer 2015-08-24T08:44:00

Nice! The concept is a little bit more original and the gameplay is solid. I would maybe have added an HP bar that goes down when you hit rocks and stuff.

Hello Dear Friend by ruthiepee 2015-08-24T20:29:00

Sorry this is not my kind of game. Nice music and the graphics are good but it gets boring pretty fast. Would be nice if you would know your goal...

Fairycula by dusho 2015-08-24T08:26:00

Haha,that's nice! I really like the effects and the cartoonish art style. My only complaint is that the difficulty is ramping up a little bit too fast. But other than that it's great!

Mazeotaur by Killbert 2015-08-24T08:15:00

It is cool to see more and more 3d games in LD but they always come at a price of gameplay and and mechanics. Cool little game! The lighting sets a good overall mood but the interaction between player and civillians(?) should be more clear, maybe a simple particle effect would do.

Monster VS Tanks by wilpel1234 2015-08-24T20:34:00

Nice game! It has an element that many entries lack: Progression. Would have been nice with some more tank variants. Overall a solid game!

Minotaur by MrSylar59 2015-08-24T21:29:00

The controls feel wrong, you get stuck on every wall you touch and you cant move diagonally. I also had trouble with the wall breaking action especially beacause you have to destroy two blocks next to each other. Could be a really nice game but it needs to be polished.

Billi The Monster by bogdanmaier49 2015-08-24T08:49:00

cant get past the quick tutorial when you press start.

Nom by Ovidios 2015-08-24T19:32:00

Damn those sound effects are good! Love em! Cool game, not really a game for me ( too repetitive ) but still a solid game! Oh and a little heads-up at the start that tells you where to put the spam bot would be nice ;)

You are Awake by frokes 2015-08-24T15:00:00

Thank you for the feedback so far! I'm sorry about the typos, my english is far from flawless. A friend of mine already pointed out the thing about the text showing up when pressing Ctrl+Alt or Ctrl+A but I consider it to be a minor issue.
Oh and that the text sometimes is outside of the frame bugged me for a long time and i have not found a perfect solution yet... ...just use the "web" link for now, it should be fine there.

Again, thank you for your feedback!

My Little Death Machine by Zed 2015-08-24T21:08:00

AWESOME!! Love the papery art style and the voic acting/music is top of the Ludum Dare line. Would not surprise me if this makes it to the top 10 or 50!

M.O.N.ST.E.R by lukethecoder64 2015-08-24T20:37:00

Well...M.O.N.S.T.E.R... yeah. I like this completely different approach. Would have been nice with a bit more gravity and maybe a lower point of weight on the car.

Competition Inside Monsterous Inc by MarelisGameDev 2015-08-24T08:56:00

Nice idea, but the controls are somewhat odd. The jump is kind of inaccurate but i guess that wasn't the main focus. Going back to your boss gets kind of boring after a time.

Snake Strike by steve 2015-08-24T19:20:00

Stunning graphics! Would have loved some kind of scoring or something and maybe reduce the "fuzzy" filter in the menu, other than that, brilliant!

Kraken Skulls by razavidn 2015-08-24T21:18:00

Hmmm, yeah really hard to do with the keyboard. Intresting idea and the multiplayer function is nice. I like the art and the design of the ships.
My only real complaint would be that the menu buttons are very unresponsive.

Lure.Lair.Lunch by daveh 2015-08-24T21:38:00

Really cool idea. But it could have used a bit more "tooltips".

Ludum Dare 33: Monster by Valicitor 2015-08-25T18:07:00

Cool graphics and animations. The gameplay is fluid and smooth and i did not encounter any obvious bugs. An overall great game but it lacks a little bit of content to really get there.

Host by Ferret 2015-08-24T20:55:00

Really cool puzzle game! Has a certain difficulty and you really have to think about your next move. Also dead on the theme!

Murderers by Gammel 2015-08-24T21:13:00

A nice little monstery game. I like the character select function. The level has a somewhat steep difficulty curve and the melee-combat feels a bit inaccurate beacause of the lacking attack feedback (would need an animation).
Overall a simple yet good game.

Greetings, Human by boardtobits 2015-08-24T08:37:00

The story is kind of funny and the gameplay is too, but i would love to see a button to instantly go to the meeting, instead of the codex.

Collateral by mklee 2015-08-24T08:21:00

Really like the "snake" style gameplay. The graphics are nice and I did not encounter any control issues. Something that i would like to see is the ability to regain "bodies", maybe every 20 kills or so.

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Robot Rapture by GameStudioLive 2015-12-13T13:28:00

That was an epic time frame that you set for yourself. Great job on that game, looking forward to your next LD!

LD46 — Keep it alive

Tiny Fragments by Daniel Moreno 2020-04-21T16:12:08Z

Wonderful little game! Even cooler once I realised it's a compo game, well done! Could really see this work well on a mobile or tablet screen.

L♪vely Rhythm by DiegoCTorguet 2020-04-21T10:06:11Z

Overall a very nice little game! Rythm timing and input variation could be improved and another soundtrack would be awesome. Well done!

OTTS & GLASH by endesga 2020-04-21T10:34:32Z

Wow! well done on the graphics! I actually don't know what to critic here, it just feels very well rounded and complete!

Pyromania by Finnhax 2020-04-21T10:26:56Z

This is awesome! Instantly reminded me of the fire spirit from the moving castle, cute and always hungry :smile: Well done on helping the player get a feel how the fire is doing by pitching the music. Though I would like to be able to remove "building" once their output becomes obsolete

Egg Hero by Firebelley 2020-04-21T12:18:30Z

Great game but the enemies spawn way to fast.

The Dragon's Curse by Aditya Kumar 2020-04-21T16:20:53Z

Music appears to be broken for me as it's played at 2 - 3x speed with horrible clipping. Tested in both chrome and firefox. Looks great though!

Remember, Apollo by AdamCYounis 2020-04-21T16:32:12Z

simple and beautiful!

The Fire Burning by Shouji 2020-04-21T12:03:55Z

Well done on your first entry! I've come across a few of the "keep the fire alive" games already today but aiming with the mouse and using the logs for both fuel and defence is a nice touch. Keep it up!

OwOrbit by AudreyC 2020-04-21T16:16:55Z

Cute game! Had some really bad starts though that pretty much led to instant death of the entire world, rip.

Planets wars by raguel 2020-04-21T10:00:03Z

Great graphics! Though i think some limitations of your powers (boosting and shooting) would have made it more engaging as right now the only thing that killed me were enemies that spawned on top of me. Well done!

A Life Learned by Irx99 2020-04-21T15:59:44Z

Great idéa and good execution! With some polish and bit more depth this would be truly great!

Shashou the Panda by Mark Kelly 2020-04-21T10:18:48Z

The graphics look really nice but I would have liked a more complex core game loop. Maybe a different enemy type or some kind of weapon powerup. Other than that, well done!

Floccy Land by MikyDev 2020-04-21T15:50:57Z

Cute looking game but feel like i've seen these assets before, credits to the maker of the art would be good. Also you might want to look into improving your colliders, unity has quite a good system for that AFAIK.

It's Just Human by MomoLala23 2020-04-21T13:22:47Z

Love the voice acting but couldn't quite figure out how the maze thing worked with everything else going on :D

Two Brot(h)ers - One and the other One by frokes 2020-04-21T10:42:26Z

@jorim Thank you for the review and letting me know of the bug! I'm on it, thanks for pointing it out!

Two Brot(h)ers - One and the other One by frokes 2020-04-21T11:15:13Z

@awerar Thank you for your review! I added a simple hint to the game to prevent others from getting stuck aswell. :slight_smile:

Two Brot(h)ers - One and the other One by frokes 2020-04-21T11:20:24Z

@Karas Thank you for playing and reviewing! A hint regardning the spells and doors has been added but the lag in the second room is probably due to the spider objects having a memory leak or a rouge "while" loop taking longer than expected. Considering that my code looks worse than an Italian pasta buffet gone wild, I'll probably not be able to fix that any time soon.

Two Brot(h)ers - One and the other One by frokes 2020-04-21T16:36:33Z

@fabula-rasa Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the brother's pickup system (especially the firey one ;) ) as sadly that is something that was mostly lost during the level design. Also an inventory was in my mind for the longest of times but then time caught up and ruined everything.

Two Brot(h)ers - One and the other One by frokes 2020-04-24T17:40:32Z

@WhyNotYT Yeah...there is a loop in the code that is eating a bunch of frame time. I'm working on finding a less demanding solution for that.

Survivalgo by despdair2 2020-04-21T10:39:36Z

Hey this is a solid base to build on! Reminds me a ton of code combat etc.

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Deep in hell by katamary 2021-04-30T11:38:11Z

Great art and decent writing! Reminds me of LD33s theme "You are the monster"

The Lost Treasure of the Bloody Pufferfishes by Teanan 2021-04-29T00:35:21Z

Simple and sweet game, would have liked some more way to deal with enemies once you are on the same floor as them though.

Tunnel of Love: I'm Digging It by chelC 2021-04-28T02:18:42Z

Cute story and solid mechanics! The placing of the tunnels felt a bit clunky at times and a way to remove a placed piece would have been nice but other than that, well done!

Deep Breath by Eduardo Scheffler 2021-04-29T00:13:31Z

Great graphics but even for a space game the controls felt a bit too floaty/weak for my taste.

We Have to Go Deeper! by Scott Steffes 2021-04-28T01:59:27Z

For science! The mechanic is easy to grasp but evidently difficult to master as seen from the leaderboard. My only complaints would be that it doesn't feel like the difficulty is ramping up throughout the game and that the braking effect of the thruster charging feels kinda wierd (too strong) to me.

We Have to Go Deeper! by Scott Steffes 2021-04-28T02:02:39Z

Oh and the graphics are gorgeous! Can't put my finger on what they remind me of but they fit in perfectly!

Bunny Bunny Dig Dig by ZakAmana 2021-04-27T15:54:33Z

Wow, this is really impressive! Great mechanics and sweet soundtrack. My only critique would be that it's obvious from the start that you can use the ladders to get home again. Understood it on the second try though

Delevator by guladam 2021-04-29T00:06:50Z

Sad and moving but in a good way. Really liked the perception vs. reality mechanic and I think the art works wonderfully for a game like this, good job!

Helena by Minus 2021-04-29T00:42:33Z

Difficult to dodge what is thrown at you and the scanner didn't appear to be working for me. The mood was great though!

Ballast by Ekoxe 2021-04-28T23:10:33Z

Wonderful little game, reminded me of the second level in "I expect you to die".

Contract Digger by Scintillae_Creations 2021-04-27T14:25:58Z

Solid and fun game loop the timer really makes this work. Purple feels a bit to close to blue and it took me a second to get that purple is indestructible. Lastly the coin sound was quite harsh so having a way to turn down the volume would be great. Well done overall!

Paperload - Deep Bass Edition by frokes 2021-04-27T13:36:16Z

@m0dsat aww nooo thats a shame!

@xeke-death Thank you!

Paperload - Deep Bass Edition by frokes 2021-04-28T15:22:44Z

@leggy @goldenevolution @caloudon @nice-gear-games Thank you for the kind words! We sadly had to pull the sountrack from the main game right before release as we all thought it would hurt the overall expirience more than add to it. We are working on a patch though so for those that tolerate such things there will be an option to play an updated version too.

Into the DEEP by Alex the Bear 2021-04-29T00:58:38Z

I like the concept but the rythm based movement felt a bit too clunky/slow for me. Impressive job finishing a 3d game for LD though!

Third Party by Duckonaut 2021-04-27T14:35:56Z

Great mechanics and overall impressive polish! The game did however freeze twice on me (web version, chrome) once after death and once totally randomly on lv 5 so I didn't get to expirience the entire game.

Dwammings by Eden Shazar 2021-04-28T23:01:00Z

Took a few tries to understand the mechanics but once I understood them the game was awesome! Stressful at times but not in a punishing way, well done!

Frost Byte by Pious 2021-04-28T23:48:49Z

Love the upgrade mechanics and well done on the wall jumping mechanics! I think this could become really good with a bit more art and movement polish.

Swim Deep by StyledSnail 2021-04-29T00:28:42Z

Clear graphics and easy to grasp mechanics. Would have liked some motivation to be somewhere else than the middle as the edges always felt like a risk without a reward. Still, well done!

Underworld Postal Service by Beep Boop 2021-05-13T23:13:55Z

Mechanics and visuals are really solid. I think dying from a single touch is a bit too punishing, especially given how little the player can do againts the enemies. Finally, a little tiny bit of sound/music would make it feel way more polished but overall and given that it is your first jam, well done!

Blue Square and the Mystery Cave by asdehielo 2021-05-18T17:15:45Z

A sweet little game! the art is clean and the mechanics easy to grasp. The only thing I didn't like was that there was no way of knowing if you are jumping into a pit with spikes or progressing down the right path. Maybe zooming out a bit would have fixed this and prevented some puzzles from being "spam all the projectiles and hope one hits". Great job on making a solid compo game!

Dungeon Painter by IanTheBee 2021-04-28T22:50:56Z

The color shooting mechanic is super cool but I feel like the game loop could have benefited from some kind of restriction on how many shots you have. Other than that the game is solid!
