LD26 — Minimalism

Tic Toc Tac Toe by delfino 2013-05-01T17:39:00

This would be interesting if there was more strategy in determining where you could place your next one other than just "in any active place". That said, it's a really cool idea nonetheless.

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Noel and the Spiders by berkano 2015-04-20T20:39:00

This is a bizarre experience, it'd be nice to be able to see how much time until the poop...explodes?

Yoyokidz by Noxlof 2015-04-20T18:03:00

Loved it. Great little pixel art game with wonderful charm. I liked how it switches between characters on each life too. The controls are smooth and the upgrades are nifty. Great work!

Crump Rush by OnlySlightly 2015-04-21T21:04:00

Nice little game. If you spent a little bit of time making it all smoother you could have a great game for speedrunning competition. Thanks!

God's Going to Cut Em Down by emmelineprufrock 2015-04-20T17:51:00

A fascinating trip through an unusual world. I have so many questions about this world now and wish I could explore more. Also, I love what you've done with the art. It's definitely a unique and compelling direction; I like it!

Geisterblut by nuprahtor 2015-04-20T19:36:00

i DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. Ooops caps sorry. It's more fitting though.

Velo-City by TeamEagle 2015-04-21T16:06:00

This is amazingly fun. The public demands more music tracks!

Blackboard Wars by KedumeBits 2015-04-20T20:59:00

Neat idea; yeah I felt like I was back in school again :)

TUNDRA by PaperBlurt 2015-04-20T20:20:00

This was an interesting experience. I'll have to come back to it later for some more endings, I suppose.

Sevastopol by GravityScore 2015-04-20T19:52:00

Very moody, and I agree, it's both easy and hard. Easy to die and easy to kill. Great feel to it though.

Savior by CarlsonAndPeeters 2015-04-20T21:49:00

Fun little platformer; controls felt a little floaty but not necessarily in a bad way. Thanks for the game!

Lets go Bananas in outer space by Smiley 2015-04-20T21:29:00

I nearly wore my spacebar out; but while a "hold to fire" would be 'easier' it wasn't as fast as slamming it with all four fingers of the opposite hand in sequence to rapid fire :) Thanks for the game.

Machine Kiss by Cell 2015-04-20T19:31:00

Interesting take on a card-based game. It's a bit frustrating when you get hit by the enemies and you wish you could avoid it but that's the name of the game.

Bane of Arthropods by AnaglyphCoding 2015-04-20T19:03:00

Lolwut? This is odd.

Bully Simulator by Pantelis Petsopoulos 2015-04-20T23:10:00

Amusing.

Light Spirits by EvilTroopa 2015-04-20T18:36:00

As noted, very difficult to play. If you work on this further I would really suggest a tutorial lesson. Something where you teach the player to combine colors (on the gun) correctly to match the intended complement of your target.
It doesn't help that the targets move very quickly and/or erratically. Perhaps moving to a "wave" system where it ramps up the difficulty would be helpful too. Either way, good job on getting this out there!

Pixel Tanks by thomz12 2015-04-20T19:41:00

Nice little scorched earth game here; i like how it shows on a small sceen too :)

Slam Jam Bakery by DragonXVI 2015-04-21T20:55:00

Love this. This is great. Thanks for the awesome game.

Slam Jam Bakery by DragonXVI 2015-04-21T20:56:00

Also, it you do a post-compo version of this; maybe get add an alternate spray; one that floats up instead ;) It'd add some neat variation into the puzzle/actions.

It's dangerous to go alone... by Hamsternator 2015-04-20T19:07:00

This is different for sure. It's a bit of tower defense set in a fairy woods (where the fairies, while looking friendly are quite cruel in a traditional manner). Weird.

Legend of the Barber by NuvlearGames 2015-04-20T18:08:00

I wish I could use the Chair of Seatedness. That said, you've got a solid start to a battle system. Maybe post-compo (if you still want to work on it) you could add some kind of overworld or something to make it more RPGish.
Also, all this in Unity? I'm not sure if I should be impressed or concerned :)

Girl from the north country by Muffin 2015-04-20T20:25:00

Its an interesting way to present a branching path through a terrible time. Thanks for the story.

Hold Space To Fart by talecrafter 2015-04-20T18:47:00

Ha, this is great. I invented my own mini-game; herd all the patrons into a single corner and unleash the largest fart possible on all of them at once before either time or food runs out. It's great.

Escape by Treeaza 2015-04-20T19:23:00

Interesting ideas. I like how the cards work to some degree, but it was hard to keep track of how many shots I had, or if I was missing or not. Good job!

Temple of Light by matthewd673 2015-04-20T23:20:00

Pretty neat idea. This was very entertaining overall, although it took me a little to realize I could light some pedestals (at first, I shot above them and then when they didn't light I assumed they didn't light). Thanks!

The War Dog by Xinelu 2015-04-20T18:12:00

Wow. War is hell for dogs too.

The Island by xWarZonex 2015-04-20T22:08:00

I throw too many spears away on accident :(
But nice scary mood here.

Flail Rider by jushii 2015-04-20T21:22:00

This is great fun to play. I wish the vehicle was a liiiitle bit more durable but nonetheless it's still enjoyable. Thanks!

No More Flies by bpvelloso 2015-04-20T20:32:00

Oh god my ears. So many flies... it really amped up there right at the end all of a sudden.

Robot Downfall by Johan Blade 2015-04-20T18:29:00

Nice work. It's an interesting idea (although the dicotomy between pen/pencil in text and images is compelling). It'd be nice if there were more levels or maybe an aiming puzzle - although that could be frustrating with limited ammunition. Thanks!

Her Majesty's Apathy Bomb by ianburnette 2015-04-20T20:56:00

This was a silly little game but I loved every minute of it. Finding all the endings (or 5 of them anyway) was a nice treat.

SUPER BRO THROW by SinclairStrange 2015-04-21T21:16:00

Hilarious. Reminds me of playing Battletoads with my brother :)

Stain by KaiseanGames 2015-04-20T21:07:00

I never could select a different color (stuck on red) but overall it seemed like a neat idea.

Cube Invaders 32 by cachila4408 2015-04-20T21:35:00

Neat idea but I feel like there's more that could be done with the game to make it interesting to keep playing.

Candy Defense: Legoes by Flygamer101 2015-04-20T20:30:00

Well that was an usual experience. As a dad, I know the horrors of Legos left out so... legit.

Bar Fight by nihilaleph 2015-04-20T21:39:00

Hilarious. The only downside its that it's easy to get surrounded and weaponless - like a real bar fight I assume.

Magic Banana Breakout by dancar 2015-04-20T19:44:00

I'm not even sure what to do. Should I be riding the slow bananas (that sounds so weird) up the map?

Discourtesy Induced Death by Olias 2015-04-20T21:56:00

This is absolutely insane. Of course I tried to land my first couple times anyway... NOPE. This is a hard game...

Space Cowboy by JK5000 2015-04-20T18:59:00

I'm not entirely convinced that my love gun was effective enough, but it seemed to work some of the time.

HK-21 by stevenlr 2015-04-20T19:16:00

Fascinating ideas in here, but they feel marred by clunky platforming controls. Maybe that's the point, to force you to rely on your tools, but it's still a bit frustrating. I'd love to see a refined version of this.

Seismic weapon city destruction by tito2b 2015-04-20T18:52:00

Interesting puzzle game idea but the interface makes this really difficult to play and understand. I don't know if it was stated anywhere but I found that R allows you to reset the current level, so that was helpful.

Word Battle by cicanci 2015-04-20T20:36:00

I didn't realize at first that I could slide the letters around, so figuring that out helped (can't make a color with just the first 10 letters ;P). Not much to do otherwise though...

NO TIME TO EXPLAIN: GET IN THE LLAMA by Nidar 2015-04-20T18:20:00

This is bizarre and insane, and that makes it fun. No time to comment, just vote! :)

Pillows in Space by Daporan 2015-04-20T20:41:00

Hit detection on pillows is either a bit off, or I was gauging the location a bit off (hard to tell either way). Music isn't that bad.

Dr. Rampage by zzForrest 2015-04-20T19:54:00

This is what happens when Robotron meets Dr. Mario! Neat little game, the different things that happen to the characters is funny too :)
