FactoriNode by Ender7 2019-10-24T08:47:31Z ♥ 1

Hey guys! Well, this game is addictive, theres no doubt. πŸ˜ƒ I know you put a lot of work developing the gigantic processing network. But still it feels really unpolished and more like a economy planning tool. πŸ™ just some tips to improve: * sprites for each node (I know thats a tremendously huge piece of work now :D ) * group the ingredients nodes palette into types, the list gets to long * the ability to create custom blueprints to be instanciated later would be nice πŸ˜ƒ Nonetheless a remarkable product πŸ‘

Nothing to Say by celia14 2019-10-22T22:12:05Z ♥ 1

Oh. My. Gosh. This game is so cute! :3 ME really like, Zoe is also cute. I love that you have built so many different dialogue threads and it feels like no answer is the wrong answer what I first thought. But any answer I give can lead in a different but positive direction. Cool!

LooPatHero by Finlal 2019-10-22T21:21:57Z ♥ 1

I dont know how your game works, but it looks and sounds so epically retro C64 style. The soundtrack really catched me. So I just sat and listened for a while.

NoThIng by Erkberg 2019-10-21T12:58:53Z ♥ 1

Dear Mr. Erk bro! A little bit late but here we go:

Though I'm not that guy that loves reading all the time while playing games, your work really intrigued me. The main character Nosferatu quickly grows on you while playing, emits cute squeek sounds when clicked and seems to be very empathic with everyone that wants to be friends with him. Unusual but creative interpretation of the theme no stress no rush and a nice calming little black Tic Tac sandbox at the end. πŸ˜„

One little problem I had last time playing: I couldn't trigger the ending dialogue anymore while collecting and throwing TicTacs around for a couple of time (also throwing at NoThIng). Thanks for this wonderful Jam weekend with you at my home place. As always: I enjoyed it a lot and hope you did as well!

Shadowy Monster Land by Space Wumpus 2019-10-20T17:53:18Z ♥ 1

Hey, I think the help screen is TL;DR for the first time. Better make an ingame tutorial that guides you through the game as you explore the dungeons. The raycasting ist super nice. But looks a bit incorrect at wall tiles.

Singularity by dob 2019-10-20T17:40:53Z ♥ 1

The puzzles seem very sophisticated as if designing the levels was the most time consuming part instead of the game mechanics :D But I didnt see why I always needed to click on the singularity at first. Also some other baclground music would be good since the monotone background hum kind of mesmerized me. I sat for a while and solved all 21 levels, very challenging. Great game nonetheless!! πŸ‘

Faze by Xenoxygene 2019-10-14T22:28:10Z ♥ 4

Found the repeatable world and incremental environment concepts are brilliant, the flat shaded low poly graphics just gorgeous, the animations cute and the sounds hilarious xD (so thats how a rushing squirrel sounds like) :3 Enjoyed it a lot!

The only drawback: The audio lags are brutal in the web version (didnt test the win version) Do you know why? Browser. Chromium 77

Emoji by Ava Skoog 2019-10-14T15:54:10Z ♥ 1

Really cute game. I enjoyed exploring the little mud box I was gambling in. But at some point I needed to watch the Lets Play to find out how to do flowers. Would love to see this game being extended further πŸ‘πŸΌ ❀️

Protoverse by Giome 2019-10-14T15:37:17Z ♥ 2

Whoa, that was awesome! Matter, planets, stars, black holes, gravity, space-time warping, the music that changed with your current universe just fits perfect! Although its more like a simulation than a game, but very cool!

Uballto by ArmchairArmada 2019-10-14T10:23:01Z ♥ 0

This OS/game was just really really cool!!! Next step: Embed it in a real Live-Distro πŸ˜„

A Fishermans Friendly Island Builder by Lombax 2019-10-13T23:33:44Z ♥ 1

Well, weird game, but somehow fun to play :) I always wondered how much of resources I need to build another piece of island.

And Then God Said by KrisDev 2019-10-13T22:59:29Z ♥ 1

Interesting physics engine :)

Totally Tiny Towny by Finnhax 2019-10-13T22:08:01Z ♥ 1

Meddl Loide, Servus! \m/ So this is a clicker strategy game where sheeps got to poop rainbows? I like it, its pretty calming and the music and environmental sounds give a nice mood to it. Nice simple gfx, solid! :)

Untitled Sandbox Game Where You Throw Sticks by niborious 2019-10-13T21:46:32Z ♥ 1

Hey, could you please share the source code? I'm always interested in that kind of stuff, especially since I also made a voxel engine once in Javascript :3

Living Forrest by Majadroid 2019-10-13T17:43:18Z ♥ 1

Good strategy game. But very hard. Maybe give the spike trees more power and show a durability/health bar on each tree and the enemies. But I like it, great and funny idea.

Island Game by aleks 2019-10-13T16:35:19Z ♥ 0

Hey. Though this one is not finished yet, it feels like a good starting base for a top down survival game or something. I also made random generated top down adventure a game with resource gathering. But you have some nice simplex noise map generation with bigger features, islands, shores and stuff. I like that. πŸ˜ƒ

Are you going to continue on this game?

In the beginning by djee 2019-10-11T07:14:13Z ♥ 1

Wow, really inventive puzzle game idea! LOL'd about the reference in the intro xD Though I couldn't pass the level with the 4 directions and the 2 growers and 2 shrinkers yet. But overall it feels really sophisticated and challenging so far. Amazing you did this all as a compo. πŸ‘πŸΎ The audio effects sound a bit coarse for me :D maybe make them more decent.

I need to solve this...

PS: I made it to the end. Hope you're going to devleop it further. Really cool, keep it up!

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres (13)

Goodnight Meowmie by DDRKirbyISQ 2018-05-15T15:46:32Z ♥ 3

Really a beautiful game... *brrrmmeow* and scary *hisssss* I'm still playing it but already love it!

Ascension by Erkberg 2018-05-14T15:45:29Z ♥ 1

Wololo! The worship-dance is so hilarious and adorable. The end is the best :'D "goodbya y'all". Good job dude! Maybe add some more build-up-RTS elements like buildings and resource gathering :D

Soccer Fight by mic_matrix91 2018-05-06T15:04:25Z ♥ 1

That made my day! Really hilarious!

Shattered Melodies by yancharkin 2018-05-06T14:58:23Z ♥ 1

lOl, hilarious plot killing guitarists with my keyboard skills. I love the idea. Improve it with better keyboard samples that can be achieved in the course of the game, also add other keyboard layout options, I have a german QUERTZ keyboard that twists Z <-> Y Maybe you could also add MIDI keyboard support. I think there is a Web API for that.

4F - Faith, Forests, Fire and Floods by KayZ 2018-05-06T14:35:36Z ♥ 0

Dang, that seems like an interesting game, interesting to see the ecosystem react and develop with the actions you take. But you definetely should expand it, make it more graphical and self-explaining. Thumbs up for the cool idea!

Gardening Sim 2019 by shp 2018-05-06T14:16:43Z ♥ 0

Love the gfx style and the mood that arises with the shadow and the sound effects, but somehow I think the controls need getting used to.

Space Maths by mikedirl 2018-05-06T14:03:39Z ♥ 0

Interesting concept. Nice work!

PathMatcher by Lerc 2018-05-06T09:55:00Z ♥ 0

Really good concept. I enjoyed it for a while. Feels rewarding to watch the A* algorithm find a better path when removing more and more blocks. Don't stop improving it further! Things that I find would be nice to have: * a tutorial/explanation at the beginning * zooming out * more colors with each higher level * joker blocks, surprise blocks dunno :)

sequencer tower defense by dlowe 2018-05-01T12:38:32Z ♥ 1

I played it for a while, it was fun! I will try it again with building more intelligent mazes as you suggested. I also loved the confetti animation on game over, the PICO8 platform seems a nice choice here. One suggestion: maybe it would help if there is a sound-feedback when I hit the rhythm.

Type n' Jump by Richard N Silva 2018-05-01T12:16:26Z ♥ 2

Awesome idea and interesting implementation. Command line people might have a benefit here ;)

Ballistic Skylines by invader 2018-05-01T11:31:31Z ♥ 1

Really like the pixel graphics style, the moving star background. But I find it somewhat difficult to use the canon and a bit to slow, maybe a visualization hint for the ballistic curve could help. If you're afraid it would make it too easy, let the curve fade out from its start to end position! But all in all its a cool idea. What did you use? Plain Javascript?

Splendid Adventures on a Sunday Afternoon by blinry 2018-04-24T12:34:50Z ♥ 3

Wow, such a innovative idea, beautiful painting skills and stresslessness. :) Plus: the main character is cute!

Shooting Mama by Dororo 2018-04-24T10:15:15Z ♥ 4

Hilarious idea: Shooting ingredients while they're dancing around me, lol ^^ But somehow I didn't get how to out the order together. A bit stressfull it is, but really funny idea and artwork.

LD39 — Running out of Power (38)

Self Preservation by spencerjp 2017-08-22T15:59:37Z ♥ 1

Wow, that is a innovative. Fine minimalistic retro style and great level design!

Empire Showdown by REBDC 2017-08-22T15:44:51Z ♥ 0

Nice rudimentary strategy game. I really dig that kind of simplicity. Somehow odd but enjoyable fun. :) Would like to see a web based version.

Intercontinental Birdsman Competition 2018 by euske 2017-08-22T15:33:27Z ♥ 0

Really juicy and cute graphics especially the parallax scrolling wavy blue water, the different weather effects look beautiful. Nice and simple concept, but a bit hard at the end and tiring to always press some key...

Energy Collector by peremily 2017-08-21T16:22:05Z ♥ 1

Sophisticated strategy game, but I really missed some explanation about the different buildings I found out over the screenshots :D

Classic Games: Getting On by loveapplegames 2017-08-21T15:56:21Z ♥ 1

Really humorous and fun reprocessing of the old classics :D The fading of your battery power gives the whole thing a thrilling component. Good work!

Power Run by Blankspace720 2017-08-21T15:47:58Z ♥ 0

Haha, here we go again :D

trex-chrome-game.png

The game mechanics are actually pretty good. Though The jump distance is damn long I can press "down" if I need to quickly go back to the ground. So its challenging but manageable. Also I like the brief explanation at the start: simple and clear. Of course your game could need a lot more polishing ;) I think you know that. But anyway: a good solid game!

Battery Box by mrnannings 2017-08-18T22:24:29Z ♥ 0

Good and quick game. I instantly had fun and knew how to play :) Feels very reactive!

V.E.S.T.A.L.E. by kromeboy 2017-08-18T20:43:50Z ♥ 1

Good concept, but game flow is a bit slow and I hat issues reading the text where the OK Button was over it in windowed mode and the batteries where already dicharging.

Dungeon Ruler by LudumAnthony 2017-08-18T20:37:28Z ♥ 0

Not bad, a bit strange I dont get hurt when running through the lava :D

A Miner Inconvenience by Nick Rafalski 2017-08-17T21:01:39Z ♥ 1

Hi there, glad you made your first game jam entry :)

No Sorcerer's Sky by TheFlyingKeyboard 2017-08-14T20:29:56Z ♥ 1

The beautiful vector graphics and the relaxing music really hit me. I also reckon there is a sophisticated game concept inside. Seems a bit unresponsive yet. I need hints for what to do or where I can click so that something happens.

OxenOut by Dragwa 2017-08-13T21:30:04Z ♥ 0

I totally felt like playing an old NES but then with this brutally realistic Newton physics... :D Really good! Your game seems very mature and polished. Yet I have to moan about the lack of cross-platform. Also source would be cool. Pls add!

Fukushima Robot by SoKette 2017-08-13T17:31:19Z ♥ 0

Really cool and interesting game play the robots abilities and the radiation sources add to the game. Just wondering how long timmy would continue to live after I rescued him. xD No, this is really a good quality work you delivered here :D Nice one!

Embers by Mortadelegle 2017-08-13T17:10:58Z ♥ 0

Really adorable and moody graphics! But unfortunately not much to do in your game and to easy to win :/

Clumsy Clemens in Space by phi 2017-08-09T19:57:24Z ♥ 1

I like your intro and the gameplay is very interesting. I didn't managed it, but it was fun to play.

Good work! :)

Feed the machine by Vivoubos 2017-08-09T19:49:25Z ♥ 0

I like the audio. Was fun to play and the graphics reminds me of Pokemon :D

Nice and simple game! I like it :)

Run to Dragsil by Nekonemo 2017-08-09T19:39:16Z ♥ 1

Really cool game! It's for boys and girls :D I like your graphics and the story. Innovative, simple to play, a little tricky and funny to play :) Thanks for this interesting work!

Cell Battles by Wevel 2017-08-08T20:59:38Z ♥ 2

I only get a purple screen with the linux version :( cellbattles.png

The Political Juggle by Phlip45 2017-08-08T20:44:18Z ♥ 1

At first I thought I had to do something complicated but then... xD Really funny but also sad because a good abstraction of reality in a collection of rapid mini games. Nice job!

Also I'm glad that you built in brief instructions as spoken audio. Really cool!

Plasma Arena by red-fan-games 2017-08-08T20:33:00Z ♥ 1

I'm really astonished you made this whole game in POC (plain old C) What are you using LUA scripts for? (I couldn't figure that out froom your source code) Also really cool how you switch to fullscreen mode with a lower resolution und give the whole thing a retro look :D while still frightening the player. But: I really sucked at your game and couldn't survive the first wave of flying heads. (Creepy!)

Slime Chargers! by thepaperpilot 2017-08-08T20:28:16Z ♥ 0

Hi there, funny clicker game, somehow oddly abstract. I always killed my slimes when I stomped to often with the castle.

Mr Mayor's Energy Crisis by HuvaaKoodia 2017-08-08T20:19:47Z ♥ 1

Nice game, but reading so much newspaper was a bit tedious. Would be great for some more obvious indicator that immediately displays whats going on in your energy park. The graphics style I really loved. Low poly, fine shaders, beautiful!

Pepe, The Power Plant by RobotsAndMuffins 2017-08-08T14:14:52Z ♥ 1

Pretty cute graphics:) but unfortunately not much to do in this game :/

MONOLITH by Vodzik 2017-08-07T21:10:18Z ♥ 1

3D jam games seem rare, so very nice to see one here :) Good concept, definitely a good base for more to come? Maybe more missions, more enemies, more gadgets for the bot? Programmability? I'm excited if you let this game grow :) I really enjoyed it and made it to the monolith ;)

Hungry Sky by edmond00 2017-08-07T20:48:06Z ♥ 1

Interesting game concept, the lightnings are teasing. I needed some time to find out how to extend my life but that was the pleasure. Would be cool in addition if your work would be playable on the web :)

V-Empire by GabrielBucsan 2017-08-06T20:53:33Z ♥ 2

Spooky atmosphere you created with V-Empire, I enjoyed playing it!

B1NMAN_ROFP by davideperozzi 2017-08-06T20:45:59Z ♥ 1

I liked how you flew away on the kickback of your firing. Physics felt funny. I also did a platformer with slidy physics. Good work for your 1st LD :)

Running on the Power of Love by nervous-composers 2017-08-06T20:39:17Z ♥ 1

Somehow reminded me of this: trex-chrome-game.png :) Its so romantic I have to kiss my kitty after this! *^_^* Good taste'o music! Nice work!

The adventure of Dotty by Erkberg 2017-08-04T22:24:29Z ♥ 2

Fine game, fella. The voice over is really awesome as already said. It's true! Believe me! And the zenpassana meditation (TM) ... I already use it successfully in my every day life ^v^ Helped me learning to type even more faster. Thanks for that! My gf likes your game too, but she sucked up at the gameplay. The music kinda electro dance music reminded me of a special track from Haken ;) Also I like the story of your game, as always with a lot of fantasy and humor! Please never let us stop to jam together! Its always fun

How I Met Your Great Great Grandmother by PeachTreeOath 2017-08-04T22:07:52Z ♥ 1

Somehow a mix of puzzle and adventure (of love ^^) I love your game its somehow addictive and funny: the only world where an old man (113) with enough knowledge (not much money) can have a young girl (30) <3 <3 <3 Nice work!

THIRST by Togis 2017-08-04T21:51:58Z ♥ 1

Very interesting game. Had to use my brain for this one :D (happens not so often) Plus: my gf likes the mermaid, she likes the graphics style and so I do.

LittleBots by Joe Cowman 2017-08-04T21:37:13Z ♥ 1

These wobbly bot physics feels funny. I like your game, but I guess it needs some practice to manage the controlling.

BATTERY BLASTER by NoytroO 2017-08-04T21:20:35Z ♥ 2

Good work. Really sympathic to hear a spoken introduction, but it was a bit hard to understand due to the volume of the bg music.

Power Bunnies by pcmaster 2017-08-04T21:10:11Z ♥ 1

Very funny and cool game concept. But maybe to bad balanced. Look at this: Bildschirmfoto vom 2017-08-04 23-04-45s.png Sooooooo many bunnies. Really humpy, huh? :D

Lost in Translation at Space by elmismopancho 2017-08-04T21:00:34Z ♥ 4

I really like the idea with the voice commands, very innovative! What library/engine did you use for voice recognition?

The Milky Way by BAJARYMI 2017-08-03T20:17:43Z ♥ 1

I peed my pants already at the intro. xD My girlfriend thought she had to control the farmers, then we realized... We are the UFO. The controls are not so good for one player. But together it is a lot of fun! Thank you for this hilarious game ^_^

Tales of a Hamster: A Clickable Journey by 0uicmoi 2017-08-03T20:08:56Z ♥ 2

Cute graphics and I like the background music. But where am I "running out of power"? Is the hamster going to fall out of his wheel when exhausted?

SpaceY by luckyy 2017-08-03T18:33:33Z ♥ 0

Visually impressive (the sparkling stars catched me at first) yet together with a touch of pixely retro. Well done! But could use some more sfx though.

LD37 — One room (12)

INFINIROOM by Patacorow 2017-01-02T18:41:00

Really fun and swift game. Nice job!

Your little human by Quaternius 2016-12-29T14:37:00

I lived 54 days until I died of sickness due to I forget to poop xD . had a extremely expensive bed, fridge and PC but FORGOT TO F**ING POOP xD
Very funny and addicting game!!!
Just more sounds would give it the final touch.

Pixelshooter by Rialgar 2016-12-28T00:42:00

8.8m :)
I'm shooting the pixels my enemies are made of, really cool idea! Simple graphics but neat. Makes a lot of fun. However I don't understand why enemies sometimes stop to shoot for a long time.

Cubby Crypt by bigbadwofl 2016-12-27T17:42:00

Good idea, really addictive. I also like the swarming aspect. Also really cool that you used divs for game graphics :D

Void Inc. by Erkberg 2016-12-23T10:46:00

You created another fine game here my fellow. The swarming of the litte Mars hover cat guys make me happy and remind me of settlers :D .
Maybe to further improve it you could visually distinct the buildings more in color and shape and animate the minions tools/weapons while they use it. Anyway: nice game and Im pleased you came over to us jamming and having a great time.

Rent for 30 seconds by Volcanic Giraffe 2016-12-23T10:36:00

This idea is hilarious :D
Also cool gfx, peoples look when they are angry or fighting xD
But somehow a bit hard to manage the satisfaction of my visitors, I can't read the messages so fast while also keeping the business running.

Room 2106-B by jotson 2016-12-16T17:07:00

Wow, really heavy-harded now. :( regards to this minimalistic but artistic idea. Are these your own guitar ending-tunes there?

Porno Tales: part 1 (Warning: NSFW!!!) by Sublustris 2016-12-14T20:23:00

Man, my girlfriend went aggressive while playing it :/ Nice graphics, but maybe a little to hard for the beginning.

The ONE Room by Fiote/Phanx 2016-12-14T19:20:00

Awesome man. That game gave me fun. Will play it again. I'm pleased you also wrote a game in JS. But, hey, did you just use HTML divs for all the graphics? :D
I can haz source code to watch?
Only thing that would make it even greater: sounds ;)

L.D. - Drone Home by Onarru 2016-12-14T19:00:00

Really innovative. I like this kind of game where you have to program bots to accomplish tasks. Unfortunately feels a bit immature. I had problems with the shortcuts Ctrl+T and Esc which where caught by my browser (Event.preventDefault())

Rotating Room by Exspirz 2016-12-14T18:46:00

Not bad. Maybe way to simple. But the room rotation is a nice idea. Maybe you could just change the falling physics to be accelerating, add more levels and difficulties.

Moving Out by S0lll0s 2016-12-14T18:32:00

I could pee my pants for this idea. xD Very imaginative beeing the room, not beeing IN the room. Great physics.

LD35 — Shapeshift (9)

GΓΌnther's Abduction by franklyn 2016-04-19T15:29:00

If found the FOV mechanics really cool.

Elements guide me by Erkberg 2016-04-19T14:38:00

Really good game, bruh! Graphics reminded me of limbo and the game mechanics of element4l. What a fine combination! Some sections in the level I found too hard, but it's feasible. And for the beautiful ending it is defintely worth it! Also love the physics, well done!
Only could have used a little more sound effects, but no problem :)

DASH by lalu_c 2016-04-19T13:50:00

Man, you really wrote this in C. fab! :D And you used SFML? Cool!

This spectrum graph is awesome and of course the music!!!

But could you please add a more comfortable key assignment? like WASD or Arrow Keys?

And could you please in addition for the Linux version add a launcher-script, that sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the current directory?

Tree Line by h2n0 2016-04-18T12:45:00

Hi there, It took a time for me to find out how to chop down a tree. Couldn't find out how to use the other tools or doing anything other then sawing trees down. But your graphics are fine and simple.

SHΞ”PE by TiRSO! 2016-04-18T12:23:00

Good idea. Simple, fun and... hyptnotic :D
Thumbs up!

Shape Soup by jeroenwimmers 2016-04-18T11:56:00

Very nice innovative idea. So simple and yet so much fun to play. Maybe you could extend it further!
Keep it up!

MISCEO by crisp 2016-04-18T11:20:00

I quickly could exit over the lungs, didn't have to shapeshift one time. In the middle of the lungs I had bad fps lags. Then in another level I came into the intestinal where I mustn't touch the poop (?) pieces.
But I like the idea of being inside the body.

Mimic by Bonoshman 2016-04-18T11:02:00

Mate, that game concept was maximum innovative!! :) it catched me! Just add some 8-bitty sounds and make the end boss puzzle more complicated.

Adventure School by peter_szegedi 2016-04-18T10:34:00

Nice one, creative idea with the graphics, also cool self-recorded sounds (?) especially the music has catched me.
Yet needs more levels, more diff. items and more interacting mobs.
Keep it up! :)
