YOU WIN! Yay! I really enjoyed this game, but I am a little biased towards collect-em-up type games. This game just shows that not every LD entry has to be a brain-melter to be good. The only improvement that I would suggest would be a map or arrow showing where the remaining potatoes are. It's sort of a pain to backtrack to the beginning to get a potato missed early in the level.
I like the simplicity of this game. The jumps can be a little floaty.
Really liked the concept and matching colors to open the door. Maybe limit it to three colors to start out with, because trying to match the exact shade of a door could be frustrating sometimes. Also, maybe show the RGB triplet on the doors and player so that it would be easier to determine which combination of blocks is required to open the door. Great job on this one. Hope to see more levels soon!
I won... or did I?
The atmosphere was nice. It was a little heavy on the text, and having to keep the mouse centered to walk forward was a little awkward.
Really liked the graphics style in this game. Reminds me of old BBS door games. DOS ASCII character 01 is my hero!
Really unique idea. It's like a futuristic cross between the Oregon Trail and Gilligan's Island. If only they had the Professor to repair the radio. I made it 14 days and had the radio at 43/50. I'll probably come back to this one later to see what happens when the radio is fully repaired. My only issue was that it seemed to be a little to easy to kill your own camp members. I killed the robot guy early on by accident.
I really didn't understand what was going on until I clicked on the map. Neat concept. It reminds me of plotting out sectors in the BBS game Trade Wars 2002.
Nice artwork and music. Took a minute to figure out that I was supposed to be attacking the door. Great sense of humor on this one, and the first cross between hipsters and vikings that I've seen.
Really liked the use of sounds in this game.
I ate the only potato in the world... I'm so selfish. :D
Nice art style in this game. I got to the screen with the red and blue houses and couldn't do anything, so I assumed that was the end. Don't mess with that turret!
Nice minimalist FPS shooter. Sometimes the enemies would try to spawn on top of me, but I found that the best way to win is to stand in the corner to reduce the chances of enemies getting you from behind.
Nice, I actually beat the boss and got the End screen. Reminded me a lot of Castlevania.
This is one of the more enjoyable puzzlers that I've played for LD26. Easy to get into, and the puzzles make you think, but it's not so difficult that it's aggravating. I do wish that I had the ability to rotate the furniture pieces, which would add another level of depth to the game. Also, it would be nice to have the furniture pieces snap to the grid, because I would spend a lot of time trying to align the pieces on the rug. Good job!
Really neat puzzle game. The first Unity link didn't work for me, however the Version 2.0 ran with no problems. I'll admit, I hit the core!
I really like the unique reflection concept. Having the both rotation and fine tuned rotation controls really helped. Game froze on my on about the fourth level where you need the three red orbs to chase you to open the door.
Nice graphics. The difficulty curve seems to be a little steep, as I could not get past the first checkpoint with the three suns. Leaves very little room for error.
I liked how the game freshens up the tactical RPG formula by using army tanks. The second level seemed like it could use a little more variety, since it seemed like whoever got the first shot in would win.
Okay, I figured out that you can shoot in a blank square and move there to get a small buff. That really makes a difference between winning a losing a lot of the battles.
Could't figure out what to do on the last boss, otherwise great game!
I thought the outcomes were completely random at first, then I realized that once defeated it shows the opponent's attack frequency, which allows you to appropriately counter their moves the next time you meet them. However, the final boss uses each attack equally so it really is a crap shoot.
Neat life simulator. Now if real life was as simple as pressing the correct home row key. I really liked the music as well.
Those box head guys are really bizarre.
Nice gameplay and graphics. Reminded me a lot of games like Adventures of Link and A Link to the Past.
I couldn't ever catch the potato
Neat game. I wouldn't even know how to begin programming a Game Boy Advanced game. It ran in my emulator, VBA-M on Ubuntu Linux with no problems.
This game really lets the player let out some pent-up aggression.
The Linux build worked on my Ubuntu system after upgrading to 13.04 Raring Ringtail. I also had to "# sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" to install the libGLU.so.1 shared library, and "# chmod u+X ./quest". It ran fine, but there is about a 30 second load time where it just displayed a blank window.
This reminded me of a game back in the day called Jezzball, which came on a Windows 3.1 bonus pack. I like the new artistic take on the game.
Thanks :D
Thanks for all of the feedback. Yes, that was me playing with my limited guitar skills. Hopefully, I'll have a time-lapse video up soon with the guitar playing part included.
@sP0CkEr2 - There are 10 levels... you'll just have to play more to see the ending ;D
@metadept - Yes, I played the music on the guitar. I've added a link to the timelapse video. The sheep "baa" was me too, with some distortion from Audacity.
@Cybearg - Wow, sorry you didn't like it. There's only so much you can do in 48 hours. I sacrificed perfectionism in things like the menus in order to spend more time on content creation like the models and music. I started learning Unity the night before the compo (my background is primarily XNA and Allegro), so I'm sure it would have been better had I had more experience with the Unity environment.
I'll just add that the reason the buttons are misaligned is because in the Unity interface it displays the game in one (of many) resolution, but when you deploy it to the web it changes the resolution based on the browser. Again, I'm coming from an XNA background where you develop for 1280x720, and then the console automatically upscales or downscales the image to the television. Obviously in Unity you've got to be much more careful of handling all possible resolutions.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Some people have said that my previous game for XBLIG was too difficult, so I wanted to make something simple that everyone can enjoy.
Yeah, there's really no lose state to the game. I had initially thought about adding snakes and briars, which would damage Brother Jebidiah. However, time ran short and I was just lucky to figure out how to get the sheep and player rotated in the correct position before the deadline. I think of it like bubble wrap... you just keep popping the bubbles until there are no more.
Here's the clip of me making the baaaa sound for those who are interested: http://youtu.be/zcFIO8j9pec
Liked the method of queuing up attacks to take out enemies. The camera had problems following the player on the second level, but I was able to use the YouTube video as a guide to beat it.
Took me a minute to figure out what was going on here, but I think the point is to keep pressing space to keep the little guy between the walls. I would be interested in seeing this one when it's completed.
Really innovative approach to freshen-up the old Breakout/Arkanoid formula.
Nice Katamari clone. Sometimes the controls felt a little floaty, but it was still true to the original.
Neat little music maker game. Some of the music reminded me of the "Haunting Torgo Theme" from Manos Hands of Fate on MST3K. I couldn't tell if there was a correct time to add/remove the notes, or if it's up to the player to make their own music.
Neat idea of getting the lowest possible score. My lowest was 590,790
Neat concept. I'd definitely like to see the completed version.
Interesting concept of having to give up a weapon after each level. I couldn't make it past the last? level where you only have the dagger.
Really liked the art style and theme. Wish the digging was a little faster and there was some indication of the objective and progress.
Impressive how the lights are sync'ed with the audio. Count me as another who got suck on the purple glass box. I tried pressing keys but no luck. I should have tried smashing the keyboard, but this is my last good one left and it's too late to go out and buy a new one. ;D
My cat liked the beeping sounds.
I really enjoyed this little puzzler. Displaying the area sizes was a good design decision, otherwise it would have been too hard to play. I didn't notice any bugs.
Awesome game! Taking a simple concept like making bezier curves and turning it into a game is a brilliant idea.
Really liked the atmosphere and lighting effects. Having the key randomly placed each time gives me a reason to play it again.
The color mixing mechanic reminded me a lot of de Blob. I like the 2D platforming approach that you took with it.
Really cute and nice storytelling. Why won't they just let Steve Zen?
I never knew that destroying Mushroom Kingdom with a bouncy supernova could be so fun.
This game seemed to have allusions to Kid Icarus for the NES, such as collecting oversized hearts and falling through the bottom of the screen leading to death.
I usually don't like hand-holding in games, but I was completely lost on what I was supposed to do in this game.
I like the three person play controls. I think this would be great for couch co-op, but it really doesn't work on the web since you can't communicate with your partners.
Neat concept, but I couldn't figure out why the spheres would randomly change colors on the Patriot level. The music was worked in seamlessly, and one of the songs reminded me of the theme to the People's Court.
Thanks for the tip on pressing up/down to change the sphere color. I tried it again and made it to the end. I bumped my "fun" rating up 2 stars and "overall" up 1 star.
I really liked the two world concept in this adventure game. Technically, the two browser concept is an impressive accomplishment, but I really wouldn't want to open two browsers every time to play a game. I could see this game being a hit on a two screen system like the 3DS, but unfortunately it only allows one screen for input.
Nice concept of using two submarines with different abilities. It would have been neat if you could control both at the same time, eliminating the need to press space to switch between the two.
The secret level was very interesting.
Got stuck in a wall on level 5 and couldn't finish. Otherwise, great maze game!
Nice little game. Reminds me of a cross between mini-gold and billiards.
Nice twist on the classic word find game.
Liked the concept of the ripples blocking your clicks. Really made me think of which circle I should click next.
This game reminds me of how lucky I am to live in a free society.
Reminded me a lot of games like de Blob 2 and Unfinished Swan, where the game starts out blank and you use color to bring life to the world. I couldn't find the potato that fixes flatness. Some background music could have helped set the mood.
Too many leaps of faith needed, otherwise a solid game.
The graphics are nice, but a walk animation could have made it a little better. Mr. Minimal looks like he's frozen when he moves.
I liked the little gear shifting mini-game. Sometimes the cacti in the road could be a little overwhelming. 85% was my best score.
Took me a few tries to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I'm one of those impatient types who doesn't read instructions. It's a really nice novel concept for a game. Having the character move more slowly as more junk is picked up was a nice touch. The time constraint on some of the later levels seemed a little extreme, especially when you have to start moving bookcases that can't be thrown out the window.
Darn bird stealing my potatoes! Only problem I had was that after a while it says I have 8 seeds left but it wouldn't let me plant anymore.
Cute... now I know what it's like to live a day in the life of an amoeba.
I like the concept and art style. I've always liked the production side of RTSes and cared less for the battles. I was able to place the buildings for production (mine, lumber mill, etc), but I never knew if there were workers harvesting anything. Maybe some meters showing how much stone, lumber, potatoes, etc you have would help.
Not too bad, especially after I got to the top and got the weapon. The menace could really give people nightmares!
Neat concept. Reminds me of the creature creator in Spore. Interesting use of the body parts to remove various senses.
This could be a great typing tutor game if it used real words. My final score was 719.
Neat puzzler. I made it up to the "Isolated" level, and then my brain shut off. I like the different classes, and how each one has an ability to help you get past certain obstacles.
Neat little adventure game. I really liked the quicksand effect. I seemed to randomly die at times. Not sure if there was a 10 second time limit or something. If so, it would have been nice to have a countdown timer.
The sprite based graphics were nice, but the controls really need some work.
Neat Ludum Dare simulator. I didn't understand why it asks the questions without the meter at first, and then with the meter after. My best results were: #1 Theme #1 Fun #1 Mood #1 Overall #23 Audio #152 Graphics #206 Innovation #451 Humor
Neat concept. Really kept me busy responding to text messages.
Nice retro style game. Worked fine in Opera 12 for me.
Neat idea. I would have rated it if I at least could look at the code behind it. Seems like the biggest obstacle with this project will be the player's shadows obstructing the view on the cardboard boxes.
Neat game. I played through the tutorial, but still didn't fully understand what was happening. I just kept moving stars to a planet until I had enough for a rocket, and then started colonizing other planets. My final score was 664.
Nice novel concept. The transitions between levels look really slick. I was able to clear 11 levels.
Nice simple game. My best score on medium was 14,308 and my best score on hard was 16,938. At first I kept trying to click "1" first on medium mode.
Looks like a pretty good start to a fighting game. Hope you stick with it.
Neat battle engine. I managed to beat all ten levels, but most of them I seemed to complete by trial and error.
Nice little platformer. The level rotation mechanic was a nice touch.
Neat idea and well executed. I think if each customer ordered a certain meal, then that would add an extra dimension to the game.
Nice game. I could see this being turned into a full Metroidvania style game. However, it really needs a mini-map added, since it was hard to tell where I was supposed to go at times. I liked all the different ways the 10 second theme was incorporated. The transitions between platforming to space flight reminded me a lot of Dead Space. My completion time was 127.9.
Thanks for playing!
Thanks for everyone's feedback.
@michail - Thanks for noticing. It's sort of a running theme in my games, and it all started with my first XBox Live Indie Game "Resistor", where it plays "Lev-Lev-Level Complete" after each stage.
@Orni & @olafurw - I agree, the camera is something I would I like to improve upon.
@ddionisio - Glad that you were able to enjoy it with a keyboard and mouse! Each mouse button (left, middle/wheel, and right) should correspond to one of the colors. I'll make sure to disable the right click popup in a future release.
@BlennosoftGames - I didn't think about Kool-Aid man. That's too funny.
Honestly, I really only wanted the blocks to move if they are hit by a bomb. I'll need to do some more tweaking to the physics engine setting to make the blocks not move when hit by the player, but it sounds like people are having fun the way it is.
@Trilby - Wow, I didn't know there were any other Bomb Squad games. I guess I'll have to change the name if I ever decide to sell it.
Nice atmosphere. Couldn't figure out how to get past the third night.
Nice graphical style. I sort of wish there were things to collect or shoot.
Cute point and click game. Sometimes clicking the disappear books was difficult, but I did manage to make it to the wizard's room.
Funny stuff here. The last challenge was a real pain though. How are you supposed to hold the Z and P keys with one hand?
Neat minigame collection. Shoot the Jay-Walker was probably my favorite. A timer showing how much time you have left in each game would have helped. Sometimes I got the same minigame twice in a row as well.
Really pretty game and the sprite animations are nice. The ever changing levels was a good twist. However, I couldn't figure out the objective of the game, but maybe that's because nobody was playing online with me.
Fun game! Nice use of the Unity physics engine.
I liked the pet saving concept. The stroyline was good as well. The controls seemed a little bit too sensitive when turning. It was also sort of hard to tell what exactly was a vent, since my pets kept dying.
Really like the unique art style in the opening story. I agree, it would have been nice to have gun 1 on left mouse button and gun 2 on right mouse button. I think my high score was 158.
Nice pixel graphics, and the Mega Man warp in was a nice touch. At first I kept standing next to the stage and nothing would happen, but after a few tries I realized that you have to eat a certain number of people to trigger the "fatality" sequence.
The style definitely takes me back to my GameBoy days. However, some of the jumps are a real pain and it's near impossible to save some of the girls.
Nice text based adventure game. Reminds me of the days that I would play DOOR games like L.O.R.D. on the local BBS. It would have been nice if there were more choices to make, with menu driven controls.
Novel concept. Couldn't figure out how to get the good ending. Keeps asking for the cat after finding the glasses.
Nice time stopping mechanic. Really makes the player plan out when exactly when to use it. I managed to get to the end with 0.3 seconds left.
Cute game and nice presentation. It would be good to see more levels, powerups, and enemies.
Neat puzzle game. Really liked the background music during gameplay. Sometimes the difficulty seemed to be based too much on luck of the placement of the starting piece. If it's near a wall, then it's an easy win.
I liked the light/dark swapping mechanic, and the critter movements felt realistic. The only issue I had was that I collected about 5 or 6 faries, but could never find any "friends". However, I was able to watch the video to see what happened when you cure a friend.
Cute game and I like the clean art style.
Nice presentation, but I wish there was a little more to the game than just entering characters displayed on the screen.
Nice little memory game. My best score was 1143 on easy.
Pretty fun game. The controls seemed to be just right. I'm glad all of the bonuses carry over between levels. However, the torpedoes stopped working after awhile. It would also be nice to see how much money you have on the shop screen (although it does only highlight the items you can buy).
Great Mexican theme with the burritos and such. Syncing the music with the actions was a nice touch.
Neat game. In the later levels it seemed like the satisfaction rating went down so fast that feeding really didn't make a difference. It also would have been nice to have descriptions on the upgrade screen (before purchase). My final score: Earned 627; fed 61 times; lasted 19 rounds
Neat game. I like the abundance of enemies and the particle effects when they die. It would have been nice if there were some powerups and different types of weapons and enemies. It also seemed near impossible to lose, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. My final score was 61140.
Neat turn based battle game. At first I didn't realize that I was controlling the yellow square around the spaces. Once I got the hang of it, I was able to make it through the locked door. However, I wish the doors I unlocked would stay unlocked for the next playthrough. Same goes for the enemies; Would be nice if you only had to defeat them once, and then they stay dead during the following playthroughs. I really liked the different classes that you can choose to be your character.
I liked how the story unfolded as you play through the game. Displaying all the movement paths was also a nice touch. My best distance was 0.086 AU and best speed was 0.6758 C.
Nice side scrolling shooter. Only problem that I had was that it seemed like it was impossible to avoid getting hit by the enemy block.
Nice start for a dungeon crawler engine. However, the background music was obviously a knockoff of Castlevania, so I'll pass on rating this one.
Usually auto-runners bore me, but this one was really good. I like all the different abilities the player gets.
Solid game. I liked to how you have to balance your health and air. I escaped from Robot planet and had a score of 2450.
Neat idea of switching between multiple laser cannons. I wish they would have recharged after a period of time. I got 51 kills and 3 hits, then the enemies quit spawning.
Neat game and good work on the sprite graphics. This reminds me a lot of the shoveling mini game in Zelda: A Link to the Past for the SNES.
Controlling the light with the mouse is a neat mechanic.
Neat game. It sort of reminds me of a 3D version of FTL. I didn't fully understand what was going on during the battles, but it looked really nice.
This is too cute!
Wow, the gore!
Nice use of lighting. It's sort of like a survival horror version of Minecraft.
Neat idea. I was able to get all 8/8 after a few tries.
Neat little shooter/puzzle hybrid. The screen-wrap really makes you think about how to line up your shot. Getting killed by your own shot also adds another interesting level of complexity.
I really enjoyed playing this entry. Having to place the numbers into the correct position to get the answer to exit the door is a clever idea. Glad to see there is someone else making educational games besides me.
Nice use of lighting effects.
Awesome use of the theme!
Nice use of the only get one theme.
Neat little puzzle game. Took me a minute to figure out the ladder. I gave up on the stage with the ladder and three blocks.
I definitely like the visuals and animations. Even though there are help pages, I felt like I was being thrown in on the deep end at the beginning. It would have been nice if each element (diplomacy/military/science/goods) was gradually introduced into the game instead of all at once.
Nice surrealist take on a classic game!
Neat concept. I stopped at 31 because it seemed like there wasn't any lose condition, unless you purposely mess up. I also like the kanji on the blocks, which makes it somewhat educational.
I kept getting humped by the black blob. :D
Neat mechanic with the glove. Now I just need a rocket boot... and a rocket helmet... and a rocket cape...
Nice 3D vector art style. It ran fine in my Firefox. My best score was 2517.
My best score was 6. It reminded me of Top Gun for the NES with the "lock on" and buzzer sounds.
Nice particle effects. Just shows that dentists aren't evil people after all... they fight evil aliens in space on their time off.
Neat puzzle game and nice graphical effects. Reminds me of a 3D mahjong game.
Neat puzzle game. The block sprites were really cute. My best score was 1423.
Solid start for a Metroidvania style platformer. I like how you can pick up the arrow and use it again after shooting. The boss was really tough.
Loving my eggplant burger!
Thanks for the comments. I could add a line showing the path of the bullet, or maybe make "lanes" with different colored dirt showing the path of the bullet.
There is a bar at the bottom of the Wanted poster showing how much time is left until it changes, but it's hard to look at it and control your character at the same time.
Really cute game. The graphics and sound definitely reminded me old 8-bit beat'em-ups
Nice visuals and music. I like the card mechanic for controlling the character.
Nice little game. Really gives your brain a workout by controlling both cannons at once.
Would be nice to see a time-lapse of the game and all of the assets being created in 48 hours.
Great game. The animations look great, and I like how you have to balance all of the bodily functions.
Nice. Sort of like Indiana Jones, except with a huge butt instead of a boulder.
Good work on the sprites. Was that a huge anteater head following me?
Nice simple shooter. I was able to get 17 before I was overwhelmed with enemies.
I'll admit, this is the first game I've ever played about cleaning up cow poop. My best score was 3598.
Nice lighting and particle effects. The story was a nice touch.
Cute game. The words of wisdom from the captain were great!
I really liked the graphical effect of the harpoon trail. I did see one other person in game, but I couldn't determine how to keep score.
I really liked the concept of being stranded on an island. I wish there was some more feedback on whether I was doing the right thing. For instance, sometimes I didn't know if I was supposed to be moving the mouse or clicking the mouse button.
Kids love those candy canes!
Nice text-based game. Those Spaghetti-Os were delicious!
Really neat puzzle game. Took me a minute to figure out what I was doing, but when I figured out that I could switch out pieces it was almost too easy. I was almost able to make the Satellite of Love from Mystery Science Theater 3000. :D
Neat game. It sort of reminded me of Trade Wars 2002 with the docking and buying/selling goods concept.
Neat little platformer. I liked the use of particle effects.
Nice game and good work writing all of the dialogue. It sort of reminds me of a cross between the show Survivor with the voting and the board game Clue. I played twice, guess wrong the first time and right the second time.
I beat game A and game E. Couldn't figure out the others.
Finally beat the others. I had to look at the Javascript source code to figure out how to beat C.
Really nice environment and spell graphics. I wish there were more spell drops around the game world, which would make me decide which one I need to pick up.
Neat game. I really liked the chain-reaction concept.
Pretty tough. I like the art style! I'm always amazed at what can be done with Java these days.
Nice original game. I like the virus spreading concept.
Neat little shooter. I couldn't figure out how to beat the worm. It would have been nice if the bullet would boomerang back to you after a period of time, instead of continuously orbiting the planet.
Wow... the screaming!
Neat gameplay mechanic. I wish there was some sort of visual display showing what your current polarity is.
Pretty cool game. I enjoyed the retro style music.
Great job! I liked seeing the game designs and then how it was implemented in the game. I can never beat that last boss!
Neat game. I like how you have to balance all the different variables to keep everyone alive.
Nice little game, but I got lost in the overhead view part and didn't make it to the party
Nice little game. The hammer throwing mechanic works well. I liked the snake movements as well.
Nice game. I wish there were more weapons and a mini-map to show where I've been and where I'm supposed to go.
I like the concept and think it could be good if you stick with it.
Guess I'm not the only one to think of using the number "1" as the main character.
So this is what Santa is doing the other 364 days of the year. :D
Interesting game. The boomerang was actually pretty well done.
Nice GTA style game. I like how the buildings collapse as you shoot them.
Nice little puzzle. Took me a while to figure out how to get it lined up correctly.
Neat little game. Reminded me a lot of Jetpack Joyride. I wished the camera zoomed out when the character went offscreen, so I could line up the next jump.
Really nice art style and neat concept. Sometimes it was hard getting the ball to go where I wanted it to go.
Santa sure does love him some Christmas cookies! :D
Nice shooter. I found that it controlled better if I just used the mouse to steer and the W key to move forward. It is really punishing once you get more than a few enemy ships shooting at you.
Nice game. Reminded me of Blaster Master for the NES.
Nice little adventure game! I know getting a FPS up and running in Unity is no trivial task, especially in one weekend. The voice recordings were a nice touch, especially with the different tones for the same spell to keep it from being too repetitive.
Thanks for playing!
Splazer - Thanks for the playthrough video
Jeffry - I will check out your game after work today. Looks really good for a first time game.
Paul - Thanks. There is something weird in the Unity engine that keeps you from falling if you hold down the movement key. I'll try to look into it if I get the chance.
Thanks Dylan. I used Sculptris this time for the robot head and body, then I switched over the Blender after realizing how difficult it is to make cylinders in Sculptris.
@Flayk - Thanks. I did all of the voice work for the game, plus some modifications in Audacity.
Nice game! I liked the lighting and particle effects. Using light as a weapon reminded me of Alan Wake.
The sprites are adorable and I got a good laugh out of the sound effects. Well done!
This is really good for a first time Unity game. I enjoyed mowing over the rabbits with the lawn mower. I definitely give you credit for hand-drawing your art assets and scanning them in. That's something that I've always wanted to do, but didn't know if it could be completed under the Ludum Dare time constraints.
Nice asteroids type shooter. I like how you used pictures of everything things from around your house.
I'm really impressed that you were able to build an entire web game using the Processing language. The collision detection and controls seemed to be well done, and I like that you give two different difficulty options.
I definitely think this is your best game so far! I really enjoyed the shooting and the maze design. I'm not so sure about the manji symbols on the last level though. ;D
By the way, I love the name of your game!
Really nice game! The neck controls and fireball shooting worked really well.
One time the game got stuck when I got killed then my last fireball killed Link. Sometimes it was a little difficult to determine which head I was controlling. Otherwise, I thought it was really great and it would be cool to see this concept expanded to include other boss monsters.
The controls feel really sloppy as the monster slides around too much. I hit the superman hero a few times, but he didn't appear to take any damage. Maybe the hero needs a health meter.
Fairly simplistic controls and objective. There needs to be a health meter for your character. I'm assuming that you're supposed to be a monster eating the humans. The sprite graphics could really use some work.
Your entry reminds me a lot of Super Mario Galaxy. The camera was really well done. The graphics could use some work, by adding character models and animations. Some additional abilities aside from just jumping would have been nice.
Really not much to it. Click to show red dots, eat the girl, rinse, wash, repeat. Is there any actual objective or ending to the game?
It was a little difficult figuring out the gameplay at first. I didn't know that I was supposed to use the green guys to pick up the gold and return it to the boss. I was never able to figure out how to pickup or use the key.
Really not much to it aside from leading the monsters around. The sound effects and music feel like they're from an old Atari game. The game tries to be funny with the popup text over the monsters, but it just really doesn't work.
This game is really convoluted. I would have rather seen an original concept, rather than ripping off Namco's PacMan. I think if it was in real time rather than turn-based, then it might have actually been fun to play.
Nice! I always enjoy playing your Box Cat themed games!
Excellent game Jacob! I think this is your best Ludum Dare entry yet. I really had fun eating the people!
Neat game. Running over people with an ice cream truck reminded me of Sweet Tooth in Twisted Metal.
So it's just pressing left and right? Seems like it's really lacking for a rhythm / music game.
I had a lot of fun with this game. After about 50 levels my brain started to melt. It reminded me a lot of my Resistor game for XBLIG. I'm assuming that the levels are procedurally generated, as I "made it" to level 109.
Nice new spin on the classic golf game! I actually made a hole in one on the third stage!
Nice job! I really had fun and the space man was really cute. I couldn't get past the narrow cave part. I was eventually able to get over the first hump by jumping and then immediately crouching, but I couldn't get past the second hump.
Cute characters! Fits the two button theme well.
Nice gravity puzzler. The last level made me feel a little dizzy.
Nice simple game. I like how it forces you to keep moving. It seems like the game just keeps going unless you get hit on purpose or forget to keep moving. I wish the wrench shot in a consistent direction, as it seemed to shoot in a random direction every time.
I never liked the moon anyway. Always thinks he's so special up there in the sky looking down on us!
Poor Space Robot Kyle... what did he ever do to deserve this?
Nice remake of the classic hand held games of the 80's.
Great job Jacob! It reminded me of some of my old QBasic games. I was able to avoid the cookies and reach he goal! Loved the ending message! I couldn't figure out the secrets.
I visited Tokyo last year. This is a nice arcade simulation of the train stations. It just needs the jingles that play when the trains are about to leave.
Well that was disturbing. I was expecting that the twist would have been that he was standing in front of a mirror punching himself.
Nice style and fluid animations. I wish there was enemy AI.
Really unique idea and fun game. I finished the eighth day and got a promotion (I think). I really like the ability to slow down the conveyor belt, otherwise it would be nearly impossible at some points. Although, the slowdown feature can be abused, so maybe it should have a it could be put on a limited use timer. I was really impressed with the sound effects, which sounded like a real factory!
Really nice puzzle game! I got through all ten levels on my first playthrough by pressing random shapes. I played through again the second time to figure out the rules. Strangely enough, I did worse when I actually tried to figure out the rules, but I was able to figure out the rules by trial and error on the 9th and 10th stages. I actually had a Notepad++ open to jot down the effects of each shape/color combination. I won't share it here to keep from spoiling it for others. It would be nice to see this game expanded to a larger grid of shapes.
Nice unique puzzle game! I made it to level 39 (46,500 points) then it just got too fast for me. As always, I think the art style is great. I didn't realize I had to manually use my stopwatch until half way through the game.
Really nice game! I like how you introduced new game mechanics on each level. I thought the ending was great: "don't you have anything better to do?"
Neat puzzle game! The color bonuses were a nice touch. I think I messed up on my second playthrough by dropping the pieces outside of the grids.
Loved the ending! Straight and to the point! The game did have a Beginner's Guide vibe to it.
@Splazer - Thanks for playing!
@Steven Miller - Thanks. I'm hoping to continue development of this game so that you can actually buy things with the collected gems (ran out of time during the compo).
@peejaygee - Yeah, it was a reference to the original Legend of Zelda, where you start out weaponless. I should have added a "It's dangerous to go alone take this" message.
Nice puzzle game! I liked trying to figure out what the components do. I finished level 8 (Open the Way) and it stopped, so I'm assuming that was the end of the game.
Nice little shooter. I liked the different types of enemies and the use of locations around the world.
Nice entry! I think your previous game had more mechanics, but good job on getting shooting working. Shooting the bats was fun!
Nice new take on the find the match genre of puzzle games!
Very awesome that you made a Scratch game. I like playing these hidden object games. I think I found everything (got 5 points). Maybe add a message once you've found everything.
Nice little platformer / shooter game! The troll was really well done!
Nice little RPG! I couldn't beat the wizard, since I just couldn't seem to get the timing of the silence, shield, along with attacking right.
The controls seem to be a mess. The move buttons are too close to the sword buttons, so it feels like you're supposed to do everything with one hand. Most of the time I could win by just pressing 'h'. It would have been nice if I could control the sword and attack with the mouse.
The gameplay seems okay with different guns to collect and different powerups. However, the pixel graphics are really hard to look at and I don't understand why only three or four colors are used.
Nice little zombie shooter! My best was 174 kills.
Very funny with all the dialog boxes! Great job!
Really not much to it aside from matching the customers to the rooms. The building seems to be explode randomly for no reason. The pixel art looks really old and dated.
Nice little shooter.
I've seen too many of these game development simulators before. The scoring in the game doesn't match the scoring system or categories used in Ludum Dare, which is okay, but I wouldn't call it "Ludum Dare: The Game". The pixel art looks dated and some simple animations would have helped a lot.
