LD33 — You are the Monster (51)

Cruelty by Jeasonfire 2015-09-13T15:42:00

I didn't really get the gameplay. It wasn't all that responsive, but great work for two days.

Super Hell Run by Velro 2015-09-13T15:32:00

I didn't get why I was loosing at first, then I realized that I needed to get reach a certain score before completing which is sort of odd I suppose. Music was cool although the sliders in the options menu didn't do anything, the art seemed a little stretched and the mechanics weren't all to fleshed out. I liked the robot's animation though.

FTLOL by team_ftlol 2015-09-13T15:20:00

Fun game. It seemed that every problem was solved by throwing humans at it though.. oh well

Shark by camlang 2015-09-13T15:13:00

Reminds me of that one game on IOS, I forgot it's name, but it was essentially the same thing. Nice work.

The Net by Rasmus Dyhr Larsen 2015-09-13T15:09:00

Theme didn't fit too well, but that wasn't a requirement and I see that that was intended. Awesome game.

TitanZ by MegasDragos1 2015-09-10T14:04:00

The levels were interesting and well laid out, but the robot was too slow for the rate of progression in my opinion. Other than that I thought the audio was appealing, although it did play multiple times at once when I died in level one I believe. Overall an interesting idea that could have used a little more care.

Intergalactic Love Machine by Slothmachine 2015-09-05T16:49:00

Hilarious.

YUIO by rzfmzn 2015-09-05T16:09:00

Really doesn't work for german keyboards - I have ZUIO and Y is on the other side of the keyboard.

Escape by geekygenius 2015-09-05T16:07:00

Please give us some kind of guide. It wasn't clear what I had to have in order to buy a tombstone, it wasn't clear what I had to do really. A guide would have been very handy. Also, I found that if I scrolled, the screen would become invisible?

None Shall Tell by Eldy 2015-09-05T15:32:00

Very interesting concept, I think this could make for a fun game if it were a little more fleshed out.

Arachnoid by nicotuason 2015-09-05T15:24:00

The title seems sort of like a spinoff of "Arkanoid" the old brick breaker game. I liked the jumping mechanic although it was kind of hard to get around at times.

Soup by JoshDBB 2015-09-03T02:59:00

There isn't a score and you can't die so it seems kind of like a tech demo.

Lardum by Grahhhhh 2015-09-03T02:47:00

Loved it. Although the dialogue was difficult to understand at times and the volume wasn't really well balanced.

Out of the Loop by iapc 2015-08-30T23:48:00

I liked that this was text based. It's the only one I've seen so far, but there are way too few options which can get quite frustrating mid-game.

Grave by uheartbeast 2015-08-30T22:48:00

I loved the game, I just didn't like that I wasn't able to turn when I was using my sword

Birdy Bridge by LastLeaf 2015-08-24T18:55:00

Great music, I thought the meteors were a little too chaotic though (even if there was a pattern).

Open the door and smile by Arnage 2015-08-24T18:08:00

I found 6 endings. None of them were happy.
Great graphics (a bit too great, it was running at maybe 15 fps for me).

Saucer by CodeNMore 2015-08-24T17:44:00

Nice particle effects, the game was a bit too hard though. Maybe more health or a lower bullet speed could fix that.

Rage by DarkStar 2015-08-24T17:33:00

I'd prefer if it was just an executable and not an install file.

Megaworm by micdoodle8 2015-08-24T17:15:00

Awesome game! I really like the menu animation.
I just wanted to point out that at one point the worm split into two, so I was essentially controlling two characters. Also, once I finished the screen started vibrating and nothing else happened.

Are you the monster by adrenalineChallenger 2015-08-24T16:44:00

This game crashes before you can "win" with an error message prompting you to check out the log file.
The error boils down to:
"AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'univers'"

Other than that, this game is kind of clunky. The movement speed is very slow and I can't move diagonally and the delay for taking actions is way too long.

You are the Monster by Pixellation 2015-08-24T16:24:00

Why is this 80MB? There's just one room with 8 bit style graphics, one sound for jumping, one song, and a few sprites. I see that the player_win_x86.pdb for windows takes up some 100MB when unzipped.
I'd love to know why the file size is so large. Have I missed something?

The Red Planet by Zccc 2015-08-24T09:52:00

Can you maybe change the keybindings to something more compatible with different keyboard layouts?
the "QWERTZ" keyboard for example has the "Z" at the top and the "X" at the bottom, making it pretty difficult to use those keys simultaneously.

Countdown by ubgamerpro 2015-08-24T09:44:00

Played through the 21 levels. Level 20 was the most frustrating (damn low ceilings).
Awesome game. Great job at collision detection too.

Hell Wars XVIII: Soul Harvest by quill18 2015-08-24T09:12:00

This one's gonna be up there

Limbless by lanza 2015-08-24T08:48:00

It's kind of tedious having to go from the beginning after collecting nearly all the body parts. I like the concept though and the game, just some things need tweaking.

Homeland by Kubees 2015-08-24T08:36:00

#Deep
Nice music, nice graphics, intriguing message.

Bearzilla by iman1000000 2015-08-24T08:28:00

Fun short game!

Otherworldly Stars by Sam Twidale 2015-08-24T08:17:00

Cool particle engine.

Tenebris Morte by FerraWare 2015-08-24T08:16:00

calming music accompanying the gruesome murder of children. Classic

Blinky, The Simple Beholder by twistedshield 2015-08-24T08:08:00

Does this game even have an ending? I went through 15 levels and I just get messages like "don't give up" or "I can almost smell the air" or something.
Solid game though.

Beats of Nightmare by Insality 2015-08-24T07:23:00

Awesome game! I got like 30000 points and my heart was racing, the pointer thingy was going really fast and the lights were all over the place. Also, the music worked with the whole game flawlessly.
One of the best submissions this LD for sure.

Do You Understand ? by qkerguelen 2015-08-24T07:06:00

It says "Use your controller", but controller support is somewhat bugged in the release that I played.
Other than that the game is great! I like how the player sort of bounces in his animation.
Also, nice music.

Lights Out by Steven Miller 2015-08-24T06:52:00

Great stealth game!

Neverending Forest of Beasts by dosmaen 2015-08-24T06:30:00

I get an error when I press the up and down buttons in the help menu.

Those Dirty Colonists by mactinite 2015-08-24T06:16:00

Sort of confusing, and pretty difficult to not go extinct in a few seconds. Needs some balancing or a proper tutorial. Other than that, this could be an awesome game.

A Fox's Journey by Pusty 2015-08-24T05:05:00

I didn't make it past the exploding chickens. 10/10

AGORA by Pol 2015-08-24T04:37:00

Very.. eerie.

Earthpocalypse by RobotHoboDanceParty 2015-08-24T04:31:00

I like how it's sort of rhythm based, it feels a lot like "Papers Please".
It's fun to figure out what you need to prioritize in order to balance the worlds health with the resources you need to leave, and that also works itself into the theme you were building up.

Imperial Accountant by Ilseroth 2015-08-24T04:11:00

Very nice atmosphere and music!

Monstrous Day at Park Lake! by haloguy397 2015-08-24T03:54:00

I think it's too much of a hassle for most people to download an external program in order to run your game. Can you maybe try to make the web version work?

who' s the monster by IronSquirel 2015-08-24T03:41:00

I don't get it.

The Next Step by Somnium 2015-08-24T03:33:00

Fun game, would have been cool if there wasn't only one level and maybe some more features.
It did seem a little redundant though to have the ability to eat people from the shadows if you could just attack someone and gain full health after killing them.
Awesome submission, needs a little work.

ENTROPY by ENDESGA 2015-08-24T03:21:00

Great atmosphere, but It's just a dude walking with some text. This whole submission is basically an advert for your actual game. Still a good concept though, and the graphics are great too.

Hunt the Hunter by Oxide 2015-08-24T03:13:00

Overall a fun experience, although I find it to be very hard to play even against one opponent. The movement seems a bit floaty and the humans seemingly never run out of ammo :D. Great concept, great game.

Alien Iowa Simulator 2015 by 16Skittles 2015-08-24T02:53:00

I can't run your game, try hosting a zip with the working .exe and dependencies on google drive or dropbox or something similar.
In my case the game wouldn't run because "libstdc++-6.dll" and "libgcc something" were missing.

Blop Avanger by Mimus 2015-08-24T02:44:00

The graphics are solid, the mechanics too, I think the shop is a little overkill for this type of game, maybe the upgrades should be added automatically? Overall a solid experience even if left movement didn't work for me.

Terrorist Simulator 2015 by xX12Twisty12Xx 2015-08-23T22:11:00

The game is absolutely hilarious, and the title too. But it seems a little lacking and you can go off the map at certain places.

Candy Monster by Berserker_Chris 2015-08-23T22:00:00

It's a cool concept, but the game just becomes really difficult by level 3 or something, and the collision detection is slightly frustrating. Other than that the game is solid!

Baby Simulator by wilsk 2015-08-23T21:52:00

Do you get any visual feedback when you push one of the buttons? Because, I can't tell if I'm actually making anything happen by pressing "Q", "W", "E" and "R".

All That Glitters by cgmorton 2015-08-23T21:35:00

Great game, In-game instructions would have been cool though.
