LD26 — Minimalism (84)

Echidna by Aerlynn 2013-05-03T00:49:00

I like the floaty inertia-ish movement, I figured that was part of the atmosphere. Cool demo.

Pointcom: The 1-Page Minimalist Game by NRathbone 2013-05-03T00:41:00

I was all set to hate on this, but then I read the thing...this is great. A cross between Cheapass Games and Fiasco. :D

Rollin' it by Loyalty 2013-05-03T00:13:00

You sound down on the whole experience but I actually really like the idea you went with. It's also rad to see something made in Blender! Like others have said, shading to indicate the shape of the actual tracks would go a long way.

Mondrian Click by CherryNukaCola 2013-05-02T05:59:00

Really smart minimal game! I love the aesthetic. As other reviewers said though, the click detection is a bit frustrating.

MIN by s0ulcrusher 2013-05-02T05:06:00

This is the first one that made me want to download the source just so I can see your crazy shader code. Awesome.

XYZ by ataxkt 2013-05-02T05:03:00

Brilliant!

Wandering Darkness by Graham Weldon 2013-05-01T05:46:00

Very very pretty, but I agree with other commenters that it's quite frustrating and not so rewarding. Even so, a beautiful achievement for the 48 hour limit.

All Fall Down by lambomang 2013-05-01T05:36:00

Making me stand still for 2 seconds every time I try to interact really discourages me from trying to interact with anything. And I didn't see any keys anywhere, like several other people I just ended up at the end with nowhere to go. It's too bad, because those graphics are delicious and I wish I could make art like that.

Astral Offset by bytegrove 2013-04-30T22:18:00

I love this! That faux-3D rolling-cylinder world concept is great, I might steal that idea. :) Really nice graphic style, and the map-in-the-sky astral plane idea is great.

You Don't Belong Here by Kinzata 2013-04-30T22:12:00

I like the little square smokepuffs, and that's a great font choice too. Really good first game, nice work!

MinimalRage by BlackJester 2013-04-30T21:57:00

I had not heard of a "rage game" but I tried this and now I understand the name. Congrats on your first game!

0 by Cosmologicon 2013-04-30T21:53:00

GENIUS. Best original puzzle game I've seen in this comp. And beautiful simple animation too.

Shoot (AAA_FPS_GOTY) by quill18 2013-04-30T07:45:00

Incredible.

Boximalism by poohshoes 2013-04-30T07:02:00

Once I figured out how to play: wonderful.

Slope by flashkick 2013-04-30T03:21:00

Love it! This is the essence of a minimalist videogame. And just when I was thinking "wish there were ramps in this", I HIT A RAMP.

North Korea World Savior by tsb 2013-04-30T03:15:00

You have been banned from /r/pyongyang.

Life! by cwilloughby 2013-04-30T03:11:00

Nice! This is the only rhythm game I've seen. Really curious how you were syncing game stuff to the audio track, did you just use a song of known BPM and timers?

QbQbQb by rezoner 2013-04-30T02:21:00

The perfect Ludum game, simple idea, simple controls, smoothly executed with very pretty visuals.

SPACE CANNON 2082 by scottychips 2013-04-30T00:29:00

Really nice work, lots of nice visual candy. Fun game although I think the freezing of controls during the static was frustrating. Solid all around!

Miximal by Cheshyr 2013-04-30T00:25:00

Great idea, but why not fix the terrible controls before submitting? Just that small issue made it very difficult to enjoy.

Mammoth by jackspinoza 2013-04-29T23:57:00

Is this a parody of garbage like Heavy Rain? If so, bravo, I guess.

Telekinetic Minimalist Cult 5: Packrat Nightmare by RobotLovesKitty 2013-04-29T23:44:00

WOW. I love the visuals, and the premise and gameplay are hilarious. Fantastic work.

Fantasy RPG #58 by Martze 2013-04-29T23:13:00

Still better gameplay than Bioshock Infinite.

Just Because by bigbazwa 2013-04-29T23:09:00

So good, I thought I was actually playing Just Cause 2.

A-Void by kingsman142 2013-04-29T23:05:00

Seems balanced for maximum frustration.

Not Complex by NuSan 2013-04-29T23:02:00

Great visuals! The rezzing/derezzing of the main character is hypnotic to watch. Control/walking feel could use some polishing.

Spaceship builder by Team Castor 2013-04-29T22:59:00

Really ambitious, and it partly succeeds. I think you tried to do too much here. Still, impressive.

Atom That Matters by Babek 2013-04-29T22:54:00

HOOOOLY CRAP it's so pretty! Katamari Damacy in space. That skybox alone should win you some kind of award.

You See What You See by wattomatic 2013-04-29T22:43:00

I "played" through this non-game to the end just so I could keep listening to the excellent downtempo music. You should give up game design and become a triphop DJ.

Minimalist's journey towards overlord minimalism by LionelJitro 2013-04-29T22:38:00

Beautiful art, funny sounds, but sending me back to the start every time is a bit much.

Million Dollar Manbaby by Lianne Booton 2013-04-29T22:18:00

WOW! That is a LOT of really nice quality content for a 48 hour game. And fun! And the stick-parts-to-yourself mechanic is creepy cool. Fantastic work.

Edward Was Human by geepit 2013-04-29T22:10:00

Honestly I wanted to dislike this as an arty platformer with a long unskippable intro, but...I smiled at the end. Really nice minimalist work.

OBASS (one-button-automatic-sidescrolling-shooter) by Polyganz 2013-04-29T22:03:00

Thank you for making a straightforward game where I don't have to read your mind or remember 7 controls. Really enjoyed it, polish this up and release as a $0.99 mobile game. :)

Space Captant by Norgg 2013-04-29T21:59:00

I thought "this is pretty neat" as I walked around the planet flipping myself over. Then I fixed my rocket and...my mind was BLOWN. Nice work. :)

Cress by thristhart 2013-04-29T21:54:00

CRESCENT FRESH. This is goddamn genius, did you invent these mechanics? I would play the hell out of this, I just started to understand the tactics toward the end of my first game. There is at least one bug; at one point I capped a piece and both mine AND his returned to the start. But wow.

Nano by psychopsam 2013-04-29T21:45:00

I love the Tron-style world and the floaty FPS flying and shooting. Unfortunately the controls are so floaty, and the shots so slow, that it's hard to feel skillful or do much more than blunder around.

Little White Sparks by CherryCupid 2013-04-29T21:42:00

Like so many of these games, I spent a few minutes trying to read the designer's mind, then gave up because the reward was not worth it. No idea what I was supposed to be doing.

Aranami by Frozen Fractal 2013-04-29T21:30:00

Really nice! The mechanic flows naturally from the elements involved, and ends up being challenging but relaxing, very in the spirit of the theme. BTW -- I fixed the Linux build of my game if you want to try it. :)

Play The Game by Fervir 2013-04-29T20:54:00

URMUM IS FAT. This is one of my favorites so far, tons of game content crammed in there!

Join by Perry 2013-04-29T20:40:00

Wicked hard! Great gameplay idea.

Rokhopr by David Durham 2013-04-29T20:30:00

Really smart game mechanic! With a little balancing and polish this could be a very addictive mobile game. Great job.

2001: A Space Oculus by zeh 2013-04-29T20:14:00

Curse you for reminding me that my Rift has not yet arrived. :) Really wish I could be playing this.

shon by bitnenfer 2013-04-29T20:13:00

Very nice! Clever mechanic, like Eufloria crossed with Missile Command. I just wished the camera followed my core; it was frustrating to have it drift near an edge and be unable to anticipate stuff coming at me.

Octopia by My Sweet Whomp 2013-04-29T20:01:00

Your web link doesn't work...

Flood Fill by maxogden 2013-04-29T19:27:00

WOW!

Get The Potato by invaderJim 2013-04-29T19:07:00

HOW HARD IS IT, IT'S RIGHT THERE.

SimpleWorld by householdutensils 2013-04-29T18:39:00

Great idea, I was hoping someone would do a minimal minecraft. Unfortunately the bugginess made it hard for me to appreciate the execution.

Digging For A Potato by kewry 2013-04-29T18:23:00

Very nice minimal game, does a lot with a little. I was disappointed there were not more expensive upgrades, I was fully upgraded as soon as I figured out what was going on. Still, nice work!

One fine morning our machines are gonna cut us down by netmute 2013-04-29T17:41:00

I was wondering if someone would do a tiny RTS. Great implementation of the concept.

Damn invaders by dvdking 2013-04-29T17:35:00

I love this! Like Gradius but a hundred thousand times better. Please expand this into a full game and I'll pay $5 for it on Steam.

JuggleSim by mr_tag 2013-04-29T17:27:00

Aaagh. AAAGH. AAAAGHGHGHG!!

Where therefore we go by pjchardt 2013-04-29T17:17:00

Marvelous.

Dropblocks by Doctor Broccoli 2013-04-29T17:10:00

I really wanted to play this because the screenshot looks beautiful, but I am missing some mysterious DLL.

Dual Perspective by SXPanda 2013-04-29T17:05:00

Great great great idea. Dang that's cool.

Exploid by Quarry 2013-04-29T17:02:00

I'm offended that the game places the blame directly on me for dying. I think whoever put those electric fields there bears at least some of the responsibility.

Hipster Annihilator 9000 by deige101 2013-04-29T16:45:00

Eerily realistic simulation of living in San Francisco.

PHILIP KLAS by neight 2013-04-29T16:37:00

First entry to make me laugh out loud. It's high time someone took down that damn Philip Glass via the medium of potato-themed one screen web games.

Bucket by ChrisGaudino 2013-04-29T08:39:00

I love Choplifter style games. :) Fun, although the controls felt really syrupy and frustrating.

Less is More by Joror 2013-04-29T08:32:00

I couldn't figure out anything to do. But it was weirdly compelling just to run around...

::.::::::. by rwos 2013-04-29T08:29:00

Beautiful. Needs Oculus Rift support for gut-blowing terror mode.

Budget Squad by deepnight 2013-04-29T08:21:00

Incredible.

MONO by timtipgames 2013-04-29T07:49:00

WOW. Beautiful polished audiovisual style, great-feeling controls and clever gameplay, you've got it all. The best entry I've seen so far.

Centroid by daniel 2013-04-29T07:40:00

Great idea, I enjoyed playing it more than a lot of the more actiony games.

Miasma by Hemuuuli 2013-04-29T07:34:00

You win the mood category by a long way. :)

Haunted Dojo by ramoncb 2013-04-29T07:30:00

Really torn on rating this -- those visuals are astounding, I can hardly believe you did those animated models and cool visual filter in 48 hours. However it doesn't make for much of a fun game.

Get Gold by Jonatron 2013-04-29T07:10:00

Despite it not having a win condition (?) I played this way longer than I probably should have. :) Nice work with such a simple mechanic.

Zip by Chronodrax 2013-04-29T06:55:00

What a great idea, very original. The way the levels ease you into the idea is great. Visuals are very soothing.

You Must Escape by GertJohnny 2013-04-29T06:48:00

Wow.

Pretentious 'em Up! by ArkadyDracul 2013-04-29T06:45:00

After I died, it just sat there with enemies still flying around and I couldn't figure out how to restart.

Colourforms by iandioch 2013-04-29T06:38:00

C'mon man.

Save the potato! by loxo 2013-04-29T06:36:00

Despite your sad story this is a pretty cool minimal game idea. It would benefit a lot from starting easy and ramping up.

(Follow the) Line by Chman 2013-04-29T06:30:00

Very nice visual style, simplest possible minimalist gameplay. Great entry.

WhiteSpace by argo15 2013-04-29T06:08:00

Ingenious.

13 Squares by aduros 2013-04-29T06:01:00

Ingenious.

Ludum lupus by Yozz 2013-04-29T05:48:00

very pretty and the audio is the best I've heard in this ludum so far.

Metahotel by Christian S. 2013-04-29T05:39:00

Clever gameplay, I played up to level 6. Love the music.

Ordinal by tompudding 2013-04-29T05:32:00

Holy crap you made a game out of Max/MSP. Combined with SpaceChem. I'm in awe of this as a 48 hour project, fantastic. At first I forgot it was a game and was just making music with it. :)

Velocibox by invi 2013-04-29T05:24:00

Hell yeah! The simple graphics and sound are just enough to get the speed across. It's wicked hard though. Great little game.

Succession by chrysiridia 2013-04-29T05:21:00

I love this toybox un-game style. Great choice of sounds, I left it turned up despite your advice. :)

Keyboard by McDonaldsWizard 2013-04-29T05:13:00

Strangely compelling. Nice music too.

Tic Tactics by youdonotexist 2013-04-29T05:03:00

Really clever design!

Save the Potato, Save the world. by JohnnySix 2013-04-28T23:38:00

Holy crap, great work. Really nice animation, very polished. And fun!

Dehoarder by SmilingCat 2013-04-28T23:31:00

There's a lot of gameplay in this for only 48 hours, great work.

SHOOT CAR, SHIT PANTS by JMickle 2013-04-28T23:27:00

If this doesn't win then there is no God.
