LD33 — You are the Monster

Night Terrors by Loginaut 2015-08-25T02:00:00

Sweet ambience, would have been cool if camera followed player and you could hide behind corners better

Terror Bird Feeding Frenzy by jwin 2015-08-29T00:43:00

Haha, great game, nicely polished. Especially enjoyed the long jump feature

Something deep by General 2015-09-03T11:53:00

Good game, really liked the mechanics and graphics. quite easy so would be cool to add some more gameplay elements, solid entry! :)

Micromancer by radmars 2015-09-14T20:41:00

Great fun, only 4 hours left so I think I'll end on a high note and let this be the last game I rated :)

Stallman Quest by n42k 2015-09-03T13:57:00

Trying to play, but it stops at "Loading images... 35/36" :(

Life as a monster inside a human by mat1er 2015-09-03T13:49:00

Great entry, thanks for sharing this. Trying to think of something inspiring to say but the best I can do is quote winnie-the-pooh: "The things that make me different are the things that make me."

Impostor by aviktorov 2015-09-03T14:11:00

Nice graphics and atmosphere, I didn't really find out how to tell if the object was the one I was looking for (no specific instructions, and when using space to find the object I could still not understand what made the object the mimic form the text). Music was good, but the drums could have been lower or removed to help with the mood of the game.

Leviathan by wyverex 2015-09-03T14:28:00

Had lots of fun, nice to see a fellow nautical entry. Not sure if there is an end to the game (never got there). Loved the small tunnel leading to another cove, where you could jump over the cliff free willy style and swim off the level! nice work :)

A Bad Wolf King is Hard to Feed by McFunkypants 2015-08-29T01:37:00

Very nice world, everything was very polished. Did collect 13/13 but then nothing happened, but it was fun just exploring. Definitely has potential!

The Endangered Death Falcon by dingotime 2015-09-03T13:21:00

I loved the controls! really cool concept and execution, only thing I had an issue with was the music

Monster in the House by Jani Nykänen 2015-08-26T14:05:00

Great artwork and execution.. damn kids keep getting in the way though! :p

Young Bicycler Adventurer by CAT_IN_THE_DARK_WOOD 2015-08-26T13:28:00

Took me a while to figure out how to get past the title screen (hit enter). Fun controls, ended up mostly just using one pedal since that was easier.

And lol at the face from Carmageddon :p

Sucker Punch by Shaw 2015-09-14T20:36:00

Loved the destruction graphics!

Moonlight by amy742 2015-08-26T13:22:00

Nice game, really love the graphics

Human Within by lucienpro 2015-08-28T08:32:00

Really cool retro feeling. Wished you got slightly more food from hunting though. Lots of fun "events" happening while travelling :D

Oh god! They're free! by BobMorate 2015-08-25T01:52:00

Fun game.. that boss has way too many hitpoints though! :p Do kinda wish you didn't stop up for so long while attacking, but that made it challenging to fight those fast dudes (tan suits)

Player Rush by Hot Box Games 2015-08-31T09:38:00

Great game, really nice graphics and concept!

TOMB SOLDIERS by MechanicMoon 2015-08-26T09:55:00

Great game!

DragonScriber by Twinters 2015-08-26T11:47:00

Woooo, Wave 8! very enjoyable game. nicely executed :)

Imperial Accountant by Ilseroth 2015-08-25T02:50:00

great game!

Cant i just stretch my neck peacefully ? by grynca 2015-09-03T13:54:00

Fun game, was way too easy for a bit and then suddenly all the choppers swarmed! THEY SWARMED! :'(

Lardum by Grahhhhh 2015-08-29T00:33:00

haha, funny tutorial :D

Found it quite fun, unlocked all 7 versions of the play. Got a bit repetitive at the end, and adding more game mechanics would probably be good. Definitely an interesting concept, and the sound and graphics were all good.

Free Hugs Kraken by crucknuk 2015-08-26T11:57:00

Nice game, enjoyed controlling two separate tentacles. Glad someone else also went for the Kraken theme! :)

Wasn't able to use the Web Version because of NG.

Tiny Sad Kraken by Erlend Aakre 2015-08-25T02:57:00

HINT: there are 3 cities and 4 ports, ships of all sizes will spawn at the ports and travel to a different one.

Tiny Sad Kraken by Erlend Aakre 2015-08-26T12:51:00

Small bugfix added: There was a bug in the code that allowed sharks to spawn on top of the player, and to have their attacks counted several times due to the knockback effect. those bugs have now been fixed

A Fox's Journey by Pusty 2015-08-26T12:05:00

Great game, the attack speed (and being frozen while attacking) and having to use the mouse to clear dialogues were the only negatives.

I HATE HALLOWEEN by Vaida 2015-08-26T10:28:00

Fun game, loved the aesthetics

Wild Flirting by bloomingbuds 2015-09-01T00:32:00

haha, Frida Kahlo just asked me if I'm into hair. A most excellent game, very entertaining and great concept!

Monster Olympics by lemer 2015-09-03T12:04:00

Great game, could be really fun local co-op game with a few more minigames added!

Out West by veoviscool12 2015-08-28T08:17:00

Nicely done, went with mine and the hills. enjoyed the writing, but I think I would have preferred it to be a more strictly western theme for the ending. Great job, especially for your first LD

Dude, Stop by Patomkin 2015-08-25T21:13:00

haha, amazing game :D

iMonster by chkkll 2015-08-26T11:31:00

really liked the atmosphere and graphics, I did end up aimlessly walking around for quite a while, with some updates to the gameplay mechanics this could definitely be a sweet little game

The Catcher Van by refreshgames 2015-08-25T02:20:00

Haha, great twist :) the sounds were awesome

UFO by Polyganz 2015-08-25T16:59:00

Sweet game, definitely one of my favourites so far

Nessie: Quest for Fame by blubberquark 2015-09-03T11:58:00

Nice game, really like the graphics and environment. The pictures taken by the tourist feature is awesome. Would be really cool if the environment was 3d and some more gameplay elements added. Enjoyed playing it!

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Double Kick Heroes by blackmagic 2016-01-03T19:45:00

Amazing graphics and music! Gameplay is fun as well!

The Star War by eerongal 2015-12-15T14:49:00

That was NOT stupid.. that was *A*M*A*Z*I*N*G*
The graphics, the music, the hilarious narration. The camera/parallax felt a bit weird at first. Really well done XD

Left-leaning by tayl1r 2016-01-03T19:42:00

Awesome game! love the levels and the graphics. Definitely one of my top 3 favourites!

From Sprout to Splendor by xevozfighter 2015-12-15T05:47:00

Nice graphics and music. Could use some more variety though, was quite easy to beat

Pilot Light by Komradus 2015-12-15T12:29:00

Nice work for only 14 hours, great graphics and atmosphere.

Containment by paste0x78 2015-12-15T04:05:00

Controls were a bit frustrating (sometimes very hard to select a plug). 60 minutes was just not enough time to make all the connections. Great graphics!

HamsterX by UntitledQ 2015-12-15T17:52:00

Awesome game, very different :)

Get Grown Or Die Trying by OrangeeZ 2015-12-17T14:59:00

Pretty fun, liked the randomness of what powerups you appeared to get. Only negative was that the fire effect killed the FPS in web player to 1-3 FPS (but still managed to pineapple the boss!)

One Button Suicide by Bemmu 2015-12-16T14:17:00

Very different, enjoyed it and made it to the end :)

CLON by Boberro 2015-12-16T10:07:00

nice music and graphics. great name, controls are spot on.

CMDR LR by timtipgames 2015-12-16T10:51:00

Great game! sweet controls, nice levels. Does the 'P' key show debug info only?

Growy the Flowy by Optimus6128 2015-12-14T01:06:00

That's a really nice game. Love the graphics and adherence to the themes. A score (plant height) would have been a good addition.

A Subtle Dispute by TheSteveIAm 2015-12-15T17:38:00

Really nice game, simple but well executed!

X-treme Snowball by goffmog 2015-12-15T17:15:00

Fun little game :)

The Life of John by jackyjjc 2015-12-16T14:53:00

Made it to 80 then died of a cold! Fun game :)

Fatness - The Epic Buffet Journey (Read Controls) by Outbreak 2015-12-15T06:12:00

Very simple game, but the controls made it quite fun to master :)

bullet hell web game thingy (but really, it's a pretty ok game) by peyj 2015-12-15T14:59:00

Great game, some sfx/music would be awesome

A years growth by BoaHeck_ArtGent 2015-12-16T09:24:00

Nice setting and mood. I was picking up seeds by the well, found the bunny but suddenly my seed count was 0/0 and I could not continue the game :/

Tale Of Two Buttons by RevelBase 2015-12-16T10:28:00

Great little game, awesome graphics

Wellspring Wanderer by Justin Mullin 2015-12-27T17:54:00

Great concept, nice mood and graphics. For me the collider for the planetoid was quite off compared to it's rendering, which made it quite hard.

Santa goes to town by rockford 2015-12-15T17:32:00

Fun little game, love the sounds :)

The Seed by Geckoo1337 2015-12-16T11:04:00

Nice little game, nice clean graphics, quite difficult

There is still a problem with the game if you run it in windowed mode, then change focus to another window and then back to the game, seems like that breaks the Cursor.lockState.

Scary Snake by beastletsplay 2015-12-15T05:56:00

Doesn't work for me (terminal window just opens and does nothing) when I try to launch the .exe file (win7)

Stem by Yamzho 2015-12-15T17:10:00

Nice little game. 1775 cm! :D

Always A Bigger Fish by rantt 2015-12-15T05:50:00

Good game, a bit short and some more variety would have been great

Growth by Alexander Ramsay-Baggs 2015-12-15T03:45:00

Awesome! really feels like an oldschool farming game, sweet graphics and audio. Played this for far longer that I'll ever admit! :)

Snowballin' by Frenchie 2015-12-16T10:21:00

Awesome graphics and controls, love that you've put up the source code, nice way of making the level.

Did have some issues with not colliding with the top of the mountain unless moving the ball a lot right after the game starts.

Tanya Titor and the Time Twister by NoGrapes 2015-12-15T06:15:00

Nice work, really love the graphics

One Man Spaceship by MrDave 2015-12-23T19:58:00

Pretty neat, interesting controls :) love the enthusiasm of the sounds

Handshake Sim by fixedgerald 2015-12-15T02:45:00

Loved the variation of the different characters :)

ScaleFlexes by ansoneh 2015-12-15T17:43:00

Really nice concept, the game seems to generate a bit of unsolvable transitions (a big and small ball with opposite colours being too close, or hit centre at same time from different angles) which is frustrating..

Sickle & Sword by MSiddeek 2015-12-16T15:43:00

Really nice game, but seems to be a bug as I ended up with the following state very early after restarting the game: 1 farmer, 1 warrior. 4 fields, 5 shelters. But no children are born, no snakes show up.. at day 1900 and got 260 food.

Reach For the Surface by EMPBomber 2015-12-15T06:08:00

Great graphics, music and execution, clever adherence to the "two buttons" theme, but it does make controlling the character a bit tedious after a while. Definitely very nicely done for a first LD entry!

Santa's Little Grower by Erlend Aakre 2015-12-15T04:36:00

Early version did not catch mouse pointer properly, but managed to fix it during the extra hour :).

The seeds can be collected from the chest with the glowing green particles, it's right next to the cabin.

Santa's Little Grower by Erlend Aakre 2015-12-15T13:30:00

Unfortunately I just finished in time, so the instructions could definitely have been better. I've updated the description at least.

Santa's Little Grower by Erlend Aakre 2015-12-16T13:14:00

I've now replaced the Instructions with simplified / more user friendly one, as well as built the webGL player with a more optimized quality setting.

Santa's Little Grower by Erlend Aakre 2015-12-16T15:54:00

damn, I knew I forgot something... Will definitely update the post-compo version to have goal tracking. You need to plant FIVE trees btw.

Santa's Little Grower by Erlend Aakre 2015-12-16T18:33:00

Muel: No idea what went wrong for you, did you use the webgl (browser) player? or did you download the game?

The game definitely has a normal (rotate as much as you want) mouse control like in most FPS games, and I've never seen the fire drop unless 'e' or the left mouse button was pressed.

Santa's Little Grower by Erlend Aakre 2015-12-16T18:36:00

Tacohej: Thanks for saving Christmas (and your feedback), I would definitely have loved to have more time to add more and tweak existing game mechanics.

The logs are not strictly necessary, you should be able to outrun the snowmen (they are slightly slower than you), but only if you run forwards (thus forcing you to have to turn your back on them and not just back paddle / strafe)

Flee From Debris by zzapp 2015-12-17T16:32:00

Wish the controls were more responsive

Scrap It by mmmcgill1232 2015-12-15T05:34:00

Great entry! well executed, nice music, controls. A few more levels with some more variations and this would be a very nice game

Bee Cannon by MPCherry 2015-12-16T10:26:00

nice graphics and sound, if a hummingbird happens to eat ALL your bees then you have to wait for the honey count to go down.

Growth Control by Akhera 2015-12-16T09:57:00

This is an awesome game! lovely concept, mechanics and graphics. It could really benefit from some nice ambient music and sound effects + AI improvements (very simplistic, and hard mode seems broken) to make it into a really nice little strategy game

S - Court by DrFallos 2015-12-17T16:18:00

Pretty nice, good graphics and controls. nicely done

Snowman's Christmas by beetracks 2015-12-16T13:58:00

Great game! great atmosphere and the controls are nice. good level design. As a bonus playing this helps with the snowman trauma from my own LD game :D

Dopest Sphere Around - Pandaman3D by Pandaman3D 2015-12-15T04:27:00

Solid first entry! *curses at randomly blowing up*

Try to eat me by Zintex 2015-12-15T17:36:00

web link not working for me

Glutton by CalmKai 2015-12-15T04:12:00

Also had problems with the farmer, would have been nice to have a certain goal to work towards. Music was very intense, but all in all a pretty good first entry

32r by Allthebees 2015-12-20T12:41:00

Very different, great work for your first jam!

Two buttons to save the city ! by LavWa 2015-12-15T04:57:00

Great graphics and sound. A bit glitchy with restarting, I was confused when it asked me to enter 2's because I kept trying to type it in binary

Astro Cat Saga by Astro Cat 2015-12-16T23:47:00

Nice game, think the rotation controls could have been a tad more responsive though

The Climbers by NirabazGAMES 2015-12-16T23:45:00

Fun little game, nicely polished :)

Midnight Rendezvous by squarebridges 2015-12-15T04:22:00

Nice entry, was a bit unclear what constitutes a match (just persons, do they have to be in particular rooms?), not a lot of time to try different combinations on each go.

Lovely graphics and mood

Shaving Day : The Shave After Tomorrow by gloim 2015-12-15T05:12:00

Fun little game, would be fun if there was some more variety (for example having to keep the razor away from your eyeballs). Nice first entry though

2 Growing Buttons ... by psypol 2015-12-15T12:22:00

Great little game, much fun to play :)

SHOOT'N GROW by guru-guru 2015-12-15T06:25:00

Fun little game, liked how you could modify your weapon. I Are Winner!

noa noa by Tony Coculuzzi 2015-12-15T05:38:00

AWESOME submission. Simple gameplay, but everything is very polished. great graphics/audio
