LD24 — Evolution

Aggrandize by phaze0 2012-08-28T21:23:00

No QR code needed, just e-mail yourself and hit the link.

I hit a bug where the map flashed on either side of the yellow line. The controls are not refined.

Goo by Cipher 2012-08-28T00:14:00

Won't run on my VM, something about my video card not having enough memory (it has 128 megs.)

Winding of Isaac by TehSkull 2012-08-28T21:48:00

As you said unfinished. Interesting concept.

Squarely Alive by Leebo86 2012-08-28T02:06:00

So the food can spawn at 1 pixel on screen. That bug makes it hard to find sometimes.

Got to generation 22, very laid back chill game. I like.

Squarely Alive by Leebo86 2012-08-28T18:30:00

Leebo86 - I may have had the window size too small. I'd see a bouncing line or flashing line sometimes, with most of the "food" off screen.

Squarely Alive by Leebo86 2012-08-28T20:56:00

Leebo86 - You just confirmed it was a problem on my side, I didn't full screen the window. I assumed the game scaled with window size. So not a bug, but user error.

ANT FIGHT CLUB by gamblore 2012-08-28T00:28:00

This needs a little more of a guide. I'm confused as to what potion does what to my colony.

Pickachick by RylandAlmanza 2012-08-27T23:59:00

Dude, we've all been there, rm the wrong directory and everything goes to heck. I admire you for sticking it out, I would have thrown in the towel.

Sheep Breeder by Guardian_Bob 2012-08-27T20:50:00

Yes, the feature that would have helped more than anything was the annual fair. Just didn't have time to work that out.

Sheep Breeder by Guardian_Bob 2012-08-28T11:47:00

The music can be turned off by clicking the BG Music label in the status bar.

As for the money, yes I probably should have had multiple modes with the allowance and done something different with it.

Sheep Breeder by Guardian_Bob 2012-08-28T19:21:00

bobiniki - just be glad I left the puns and jokes in source, they were baaaad.

Sheep Breeder by Guardian_Bob 2012-08-28T20:19:00

Kevin - try right clicking on a sheep.

Sheep Breeder by Guardian_Bob 2012-08-28T20:22:00

Buttercup - I appreciate your feedback.

Rabbits - you can keep playing after the scoring.

Sheep Breeder by Guardian_Bob 2012-08-28T20:40:00

Kayelgee-
There's some great design notes in your feedback, thank you.

My Apartment by SpectreNectar 2012-08-28T01:35:00

Not bad, high score of 2620.
Low score of 50.

When mom was there I couldn't do anything on the list of prepare a meal. She did nothing for me that I could tell.

Nom Noms: Evolution by sboerwinkle 2012-08-28T19:43:00

Yeah, no journal or link. :(

Protean by invicticide 2012-08-28T01:44:00

Generation 11 - 73700

Interesting... Although world wrapping would have made it far more interesting to play.

Watercolor Wheel Evolution by tcstyle 2012-08-28T20:13:00

There are a couple of bugs, I stopped shrinking and the first movement was at much faster speed. That said this was different and cute.

Watercolor Wheel Evolution by tcstyle 2012-08-28T21:06:00

tcstyle - both. I stopped shrinking from generation to generation and from contact.

And after absorbing lots of brown and black stuff, I would start a round going up and move quickly. When I then went down I would slow down.

Flower o Doom by Sheepolution 2012-08-28T03:51:00

I was hoping to play this, it won't run though. Probably due to the virtual machine.

War Of Elements by MuschEffekt 2012-08-28T19:46:00

Took a minute to figure out what was going on. I'm a little concerned that the dialog allowed negative values.

Evolvsion by sP0CkEr2 2012-08-28T01:55:00

Well, it didn't work on my VM, guess DirectX doesn't like the VM. I might give it another go later on without the VM

Evodash by Sichuan 2012-08-28T19:39:00

Using the latest java (7 release 6) I just get a gray screen.

Preemptive Evolution by Ethanh59 2012-08-28T19:41:00

Is there anything else? No links to download anything.

AdapTanks by Cross 2012-08-28T19:54:00

Interesting game, took a couple of plays to get the hang of it. I wasn't clear if my tank was changing or the enemies were.

Getting:

OpenGL Warning: VBoxCrHgsmiCreate failed
OpenGL Warning: VBoxCrHgsmiCreate failed


Does not run for me. Sorry.

The Destiny of Species by kurrik 2012-08-28T19:58:00

I wanted to run, the windows version is compiled for 64-bit. I'm running 32 bit. A 32 bit version would work on 64 bit machines, but it doesn't work the other way.

LD26 — Minimalism

Mono by Mattykins 2013-05-01T04:00:00

Not compiled...

P27 by hi-scor.es 2013-04-29T05:26:00

Some of the glyphs didn't load, I just got red and blue boxes with no idea what it was supposed to be. I'd create pictures in the future to ensure it renders correctly.

Ad Astra Per Aspera by getRandomName() 2013-05-04T18:22:00

Will play when the website comes back up

RedShot by Jellycakes 2013-04-29T17:54:00

Camera is very sensitive, but an interesting play. Nice sound. Runs nicely for me.

Tech Troop Tim's Big Pay Day by Guardian_Bob 2013-04-29T05:05:00

Thanks, let me see what I can do about the link.

Tech Troop Tim's Big Pay Day by Guardian_Bob 2013-04-29T05:12:00

I'll be able to change hosts in about 5 hours or so.

Tech Troop Tim's Big Pay Day by Guardian_Bob 2013-04-29T05:46:00

karsyf - last line before the screen shot, the mirror will be live in a couple of hours, use the file menu in Google drive to download the zip file.

Tech Troop Tim's Big Pay Day by Guardian_Bob 2013-04-29T13:48:00

Any and all feedback is appreciated. I'm not new but I'm still an amateur.

The tiles switching was supposed to be disorienting, reinforcing that hitting them was bad. I discovered it was too much so, which is why I added the green line.

Tech Troop Tim's Big Pay Day by Guardian_Bob 2013-04-29T14:33:00

timtipgames - Yeah well, I went back and forth on that. Basically this came down to having a story and running with it. The scoring then happened to work out nicely. Also the high score list is updated via MySQL, so I'll post a page where people can see results.

nintendoeats - I would have loved the parallel worlds theme, but this game has been struggling to get out for more than a year now. I went with what I could do in the theme. It is interesting as a mechanic. Imagine if you split it into 4ths. It could get quite challenging quite quickly. Might make a good dungeon crawler mechanic someday, where the two teams are connected.

Tech Troop Tim's Big Pay Day by Guardian_Bob 2013-04-29T16:35:00

Jellycakes, nicely done on your score. I'll post the link to see the scores just as soon as I can.

Tech Troop Tim's Big Pay Day by Guardian_Bob 2013-04-29T17:36:00

No worries netmute. Hopefully some day WPF will come to mono.

Tech Troop Tim's Big Pay Day by Guardian_Bob 2013-04-30T16:18:00

FYI, I've added a link to the list of high scores (all scores).

Swatch by madlee 2013-05-04T18:30:00

Popup window, pops up, but then I see an empty window.

Fantasy RPG #58 by Martze 2013-04-30T04:04:00

Locked at the first text screen, bummer.

Fantasy RPG #58 by Martze 2013-04-30T14:14:00

Oh, press X? It looked like a close button, so I kept trying to hit it with the mouse. Now I feel stupid, let me try it again.

A Walk in the Dark by LittleGreenFlame 2013-05-04T18:40:00

You need to stick with .Net 3.5 or 4 if you want to support XP.

Additionally, I don't see your source, which is required for a 48 hour compo entry.

Dual Perspective by SXPanda 2013-04-29T17:08:00

Green stairs were not hard, similar to my maze game, but different. Nice. The hardest part was knowing where I needed to be to keep from falling off.

Potato Yoga by magnpeas 2013-05-01T04:02:00

So where's the source?

100% Safe Download by 3.14 2013-04-29T04:44:00

Not playable, that kinda sucks.

Steve Can't Zen by DaanVanYperen 2013-05-01T03:39:00

207275, my e key still works

Uber Tic Tac Toe by chume 2013-04-30T04:11:00

No matlab, but wouldn't a better name be connect 6?

Balls Balls Balls by matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-01T03:49:00

I lost a blue ball through the wall. :(

Soldier Chess: The Game by Sandcrawler 2013-04-30T04:14:00

Colors could be more vivid, but interesting.

Wandering Darkness by Graham Weldon 2013-04-29T05:04:00

So the learning from death is a portal like mechanism, it would be really funny to insult the user when they make the same mistake twice. Just my $0.02.

llab by tonic 2013-04-29T13:54:00

I found this very hard to control and frustrating. That said it was interesting. I didn't get the green blocks were springs.

llab by tonic 2013-04-29T13:55:00

dafq, I meant At first I didn't get the green blocks were springs.

The One Road by Dietrich Epp 2013-04-29T18:06:00

Escape locked the main screen for me, and I was able to hit escape during a fight leaving me with no menu. Despite that, it was fun. A solid entry.
