LD33 — You are the Monster

Ubix's Undersized Breakout by HeliosStudio 2015-09-10T20:00:00

Yeah, the enemy is definitely more monstruous than you and the camera needs some work, it's not amazing but we had fun making it and we're proud of the result.

LD34 is going to be a lot better for sure!

LD35 — Shapeshift

IGEO by Thought Reactor 2016-04-19T04:21:00

The mechanics work, and while it might not be for me I think its neat, two minor nitpicks, 1. the movement felt a bit stilted, I'd prefer to be able to move more quickly.
2. the difficulty jump in level I think 5-6 was a bit too much for me, so many shapes I just felt overwhelmed, but thats understandable. Keep on jammin'!

Ro Sham Bot by huminaboz 2016-04-19T04:43:00

I dig the art style, and the music changing based on which enemy you had become was a great touch!
on a side note level 3 I felt was too long, and a bit hard, also the simple shooty enemy feels very grindy but seems to be the most efficient at avoiding damage.

Soothsayer Simulator 2016 by iceburg7 2016-04-19T04:49:00

really enjoyed this one, a very original take on shapeshifting, and a very clean feel, also
What do you mean by slightly larger? a dozen minutes? an hour?
I mean the perspective shift won't work multiple times, and you can't have too long an uninteresting buildup, so you'll either have to mix it up a bit or go for the short format.
Still I think you should go for it, it should at the very least be an interesting concept.

I Want My Dragon by Bobsleigh 2016-04-19T04:59:00

I liked the playful mood and the graphics were appealing in their own way, but the fact that collision detection was very loose and that I had to run each time back to the level and start all over was a deal breaker, it seems the poor bunny will have to go hungry

Shadow of the Red Hand by andyman404 2016-04-19T05:08:00

I loved the uncomfortable feeling the red hand sound coupled with the hand animations gave me, graphics were really nice, very creative, I also loved the snail setpiece.
one complaint is that it felt a bit too floaty, and that the collision felt very loose, mostly to my advantage, but it still felt unclear wether I'd be making that jump or not.

jelliskul by cakeknuckles 2016-04-19T04:00:00

I really liked the cute graphics and the simple interactions work well enough and convey a lot.
I'm not really sure what changes the ending, and I was never able to click the blue button >.< but I still really liked it!

The Fox Prince by EighthNote 2016-04-19T03:54:00

the old infinite runner formula works well enough, and I really like the theme you chose, but it is unfairly hard because of screen space limitations.
Still i did enjoy my 2-3 runs, my highscore is 30 \(^o^)/

The Alien Who Wanted To Be The President by Anilo Yodea 2016-04-19T04:13:00

I think I beat it, but it crashed when I got to the secret :(
overall it was enjoyable, but never found out the special abilities of each type of entity, and I feel that the "puzzle" solution is much harder than the twitch reflex one.
Music got a bit repetitive after a while but was ok.
Also I'm not sure if I did become president, oh and I really liked the small audio intro at the beggining!

Black Heart by luquio 2016-04-19T03:48:00

I really liked the mood you got going, flashing colors were a bit harsh on the eyes after a while, and I didnt get to grasp the controls completely. overall I liked your entry cool stuff!

LD36 — Ancient Technology

Brotherly light by Endlesspeak 2016-09-15T22:50:00

Amazing!

The graphics are great, animation are nice (not perfect but well over average here) and the whole ambience works really nice.

The main mechanics are also interesting a creative, good job!

Arch Journey by skorpyo 2016-09-15T22:37:00

Really like the mood and ambient on the game.
Puzzles were simple and nice, they could use some difficulty but we all now that there's never enough time to actually balance things here after they're done heheh.

Pen and paper by RasmusErik 2016-08-30T02:22:00

Really like the looks, Cool game!

Modus Catapultus by invader 2016-09-15T22:28:00

Nice game, I actually spent some time playing after learning how it worked, simple but entertaning

Ancient Technology by tonynogo 2016-09-05T03:10:00

That was interesting, had a lot of trouble with the fullscreen though, as mentioned before the buttons are not aligned with the keyboard and I though that was some kind of mechanic of the game.

Guidance by Avalanche Games 2016-08-30T02:44:00

Really love the atmosfere, good job!

The Ancient Ti-Li Island by HeliosStudio 2016-08-30T11:38:00

Thanks!
A version with all the bug fixes you need to be able to win the game will be released today in a few hours.
And by the way, you need to get the Jars to 4 - 4 - 0

The Ancient Ti-Li Island by HeliosStudio 2016-09-03T01:30:00

Hello!
The jar puzzle works like this:
When the eye closes, you take all the water on the targeted jar, and then when you target another jar, the water is translated to that one.

The one problem that puzzle has is that we couldn't implement an animation to clarify this, we had planned for some kind of water orb to float above the jar when targeted and for it to translate to the next targeted jar but we didn't have enough time to do this.

Kazahn Royale - 3D Battle Royale by simple_blue 2016-08-31T15:11:00

The game looks nice but it becomes hard to play it because the fps rate drops too much even though im on a decent computer.

Debug Quest by ikroth 2016-09-05T03:19:00

Loved it!
The gameplay is very fluid, and the graphics are really nice and make a great atmosphere for the game.

Archer Defense by boats 2016-09-15T22:35:00

Needs balance but I liked it overall for the time you worked on it!
As somebody who loves difficult games this was an interesting challenge for a while ^^

Ninurta: Granary Defense by kraiom 2016-08-30T02:58:00

I really love the polish on the graphics, great job!

Trials of Daedalus by NightShadow0 2016-09-15T22:32:00

Cool game, especially how you handled the theme on this one.

Bullet Reality by Frump 2016-09-03T01:34:00

Loved the option to change between fly modes!
Also glad to the a bullet hell here, really like the genre and the touhou similarities here.

SMASH BASH: Sukhov vs Zombies by SMASH BASH 2016-08-31T15:19:00

Great job!
I'm impressed on how you managed to make such game in only 72 hours!

Apalis by Tselmek 2016-08-30T03:45:00

Too many deaths for one game :( I relly liked the music and the game!

The great catapult war by JK5000 2016-09-05T03:02:00

"A great plan sir"
*Proceeds to shoot one of my catapults*

It's a pretty nice game, the idea is simple but works nicely

Super Cute DNA Sucker! by larkkkattack 2016-08-31T14:56:00

It's a really cute looking addictive game!

Obsolescence by kmitz 2016-08-31T15:05:00

I really enjoy the graphics, it looks really nice but I think it would be better if it was a little bit more challenging

Alien B.C. by kapezit 2016-08-30T02:34:00

Nice! I don't even know why I keep playing idle games but they just make happy so I don't care

The Golem by Matzigon 2016-08-30T03:28:00

I really liked the game! Congratulations!

Of The Ruins by razveck 2016-09-15T22:45:00

I don't know why but I really love when my character is a square, it just work to me, especially when the time is so limited that getting a complex character with all its animation becomes extremely hard.

For the gameplay it was pretty satisfaying, not complex but also not absurdly easy (though I blocked the rock outside the second door once and I had to restart)

Good job overall!
