LD24 — Evolution

The Gift/Curse Of Evolution by HeroesGrave 2012-08-29T05:09:00

Sorry about those things. Due to school, I ran out of time and was unable to add action feedback. Just remember to check the item equipped before doing something important with it. It is intentional for tree sprouts to be trampled, but I didn't realise how likely people are to trample the sprouts. As for F12, I noticed that too late to fix it. I will put up a video soon on how to defeat the boss so people can see if they have trouble. These bugs have already been fixed for a Post Ludum Dare version.

The Gift/Curse Of Evolution by HeroesGrave 2012-08-31T06:11:00

Demonpants, as cross-posted on JGO, for the benefit of the people reading this, I say this:

That was caused by an ignored Exception. It means that the Display could not be created for some reason OUTSIDE of my game. This can not be fixed by me (Apart from notifying the user of the problem so they can sort it out).

Ninjural Selection by axcho 2012-08-28T04:55:00

Wow. I voted 3-stars for everything. Nice game, but not really the kind of game I like.

LD25 — You are the Villain

Bank Robber2.5D by Kix 2012-12-17T21:30:00

Unplayable for me. Decided not to rate to be nice.

Doctor Spandex by Cássio Eduardo 2012-12-22T21:50:00

Nice!

Dark Dream by eShredder 2012-12-17T22:29:00

Cool! I gave up because I didn't know how much more there was to go.

Lord Of Corruption by HeroesGrave 2012-12-17T21:48:00

If you have lots of trouble, read the spoilers.

Lord Of Corruption by HeroesGrave 2012-12-17T22:07:00

If you manage to have full health, and more orbs than last time you had full health, then healing is worth it.
You can get your orbs back by killing the paladins who took them (unless the paladins use them to heal)

Lord Of Corruption by HeroesGrave 2012-12-17T22:08:00

I have never done sound before. Will try it next LD.
I was not sure whether to add a background as it may ruin the feel, so I left it out.

Lord Of Corruption by HeroesGrave 2012-12-17T23:31:00

I knew I should have made it easier.

Lord Of Corruption by HeroesGrave 2012-12-18T00:08:00

But it would be easier to steal a box than kill 50 paladins
And anyway, the paladins collect orbs so they can heal.

Lord Of Corruption by HeroesGrave 2012-12-19T19:27:00

Well, there were never any plans to take this game further, which was my goal this time as planning to take it further results in scope creep.
However, I did make a few new code advances which will be used in a similar style (but different themed) game.

Special thank you to everyone who has rated the game so far.

Lord Of Corruption by HeroesGrave 2012-12-22T08:11:00

It would help if you mentioned what video card you have. :)

Villain OS 8 by tommycreo 2012-12-17T22:13:00

Cool game! A bit easy though, but still fun

Break In by filtoid 2012-12-17T03:36:00

Can't run.
Why? No link.

Children : Reverse Slender by HackThePanda 2012-12-18T03:54:00

LOL.
I have played Slender a few times, and this... is... just... funny.

Cursed Temple by SirJson 2012-12-17T22:19:00

Quite addicting until it gets too hard

CORRUPTIONEXE by Xgor 2012-12-18T05:59:00

Looks okay, but I can't play & rate it until tomorrow.
I love the concept.

CORRUPTIONEXE by Xgor 2012-12-18T21:00:00

LOL

Conquer The Kingdom by DaGamesta 2012-12-18T03:50:00

Quite good.

Dark World by KilledByAPixel 2012-12-17T21:37:00

Couldn't run becuase of missing dll.

Noble Weapon by Meep 2012-12-17T01:06:00

I hate the sound effects.
Other than that, it's an okay game.

THE CONDEMNED by Dark Acre Jack 2012-12-20T01:25:00

Nice!

Splonet by Nanofus 2012-12-17T21:43:00

Could have the background a different colour.
Would make me add more to graphics & mood.

Splonet by Nanofus 2012-12-18T01:26:00

I saw an earlier version of this during the ludum dare on the front page and I was trying to think of keywords to find it. I still think dark red/black (1 or both) would make the mood better, but nice.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

Survive by Andresh 2013-09-02T05:46:00

Doesn't work for me.

Launching with Terminal gives me an unsatisfied link error.

I'm on Arch Linux 64-bit.

TenSeconds by HeroesGrave 2013-08-26T06:00:00

Try using sprint more.

TenSeconds by HeroesGrave 2013-08-26T06:01:00

Use the walkthrough if you get stuck

TenSeconds by HeroesGrave 2013-08-26T06:02:00

Ths right mouse click is basically a more powerful, aimed jump, which should get you over two-block high walls if you put it under the player.

TenSeconds by HeroesGrave 2013-08-26T06:06:00

No sounds sorry.

I was limited with time.

TenSeconds by HeroesGrave 2013-08-27T04:09:00

Sorry about the difficulty.

It is hard for me to judge as I played it as I added to the level bit-by-bit, and so am quite skilled at it.

Maybe in a post-compo version I'll make it better.

As for the sprint randomly stopping. That is a feature, but I forgot to mention it or give a indication. You have a 2-second sprint timer. While not sprinting, it fills up. If you use it all up, you have to wait until it fills up to one second before sprinting again.

10 10 Second Game Design Lessons by douglasv 2013-09-06T22:36:00

Believe it or not, this is the best entry I've played so far.

Altair 409 by drakekin 2013-08-26T05:35:00

Doesn't do anything.

I'm on Arch Linux 64 bit.

One Hundred in One by acro 2013-09-02T05:28:00

Definitely one of the best entries I've played

Fortris by mollrow 2013-08-26T06:05:00

Linux?

Fortris by mollrow 2013-08-27T04:19:00

Tried Linux build.

It doesn't work.

I'm on Arch Linux 64-bit.

Fortris by mollrow 2013-09-02T05:31:00

Still not working...

:'(

The Clocktower by Colorvade 2013-08-26T06:32:00

Fun!

Finally a fun game.

Direct Interval by Kerinova Studios 2013-08-26T05:37:00

Linux ready?

Looking forward to playing.

10 seconds for Cactusman by megashroom 2013-08-26T05:29:00

You just trashed my downloads folder. >:(

Please put everything into a folder, into a .zip next time.

I don't have pygame, and don't want to download it myself as that would give your game unfair amounts of my attention. Can't you just package it with the game?

I may check back to see if these points are fixed.

(I don't want to sound mean here, but it really annoys me having to waste time downloading X and Y to benefit someone else. Remember that I could play any game. I'm going to pick the best one for ME)

Thanks. :)

Jim the Alien Parasite by pelayobesa 2013-08-26T05:20:00

It's okay I guess.

Sometimes random blue things turn red for no apparent reason.

Legend of Epikouros by Erhune 2013-08-26T06:26:00

Doesn't work for me.

Memorization by longloaf 2013-08-26T06:38:00

Needs more rounds. ;)

Bit-ship Ld27 By lcass by lcass 2013-08-26T06:18:00

I didn't know what to do, even though I read the tutorial

Mayfly by targaciej 2013-08-26T06:39:00

Can't extract.

Arch Linux 64 bit

Timeline by Lancey 2013-08-26T05:43:00

Quite nice

It took me a long time to find a game that shows up when I search "Linux", that actually runs on Linux.

Ten Seconds of LASER by AGDG_REJECT 2013-08-26T05:12:00

More people would use Linux here than OSX.
Just saying...

Looks nice. Shame I can't play it.

Ten Seconds of LASER by AGDG_REJECT 2013-09-06T22:41:00

The Linux build isn't working :(

I'm on Arch Linux 64-bit.

I only need ten more seconds by anserran 2013-08-26T06:51:00

Nice

10 Second Roguelike by BadgerPriest 2013-08-26T06:45:00

One of the best games I've rated so far.

The Lonely Sentry by namrog84 2013-08-26T06:26:00

Nice!

Not too easy, not too hard.

Defuse by KevinWorkman 2013-08-27T04:16:00

What kind of crazy person wired up those bombs??!!

Highscore: 171110

LOL.

I could never get one right.

LD28 — You Only Get One

Glitcher //nuts = 1 by 01rafael 2013-12-17T03:41:00

What the heck did I just play. 0__0

One Last Life To Live [PATCHED] by ArsenioDev 2013-12-23T07:32:00

As a learning project you could expand this further post-LD and make a full game out of it.

Good Work!

Zombie hills by pl0xz0rz 2013-12-23T07:29:00

Is there a treasure?

Shadow Night by ParaPup 2013-12-16T07:29:00

I wish Unity applications didn't run so slowly for me. :(

Square Warfare: You Only Get One by cBit 2013-12-16T06:21:00

Works fine on Linux.

COR by ENDESGA 2013-12-17T03:27:00

AMAZING!

Best Ludum Dare Game I've played, ever.

I mean it. It wasn't the most fun or exciting, but everything else made it an awesome game.

G by Sean Noonan 2013-12-16T06:52:00

64MB? A bit big for me, Sorry.

faif by Beavl 2013-12-23T20:40:00

Doesn't load for me.

Linux 64-bit with Firefox.

You Only Get One by drentsoft 2013-12-16T07:35:00

I especially liked the command-line comment that was a string of exceptions!

(The game worked fine, it just crashed once at the end)

Linux version seems to work for me.

Protoport by Und[0]ne Devs 2013-12-22T20:51:00

Is this meant to work on Linux? Because it doesn't for me.

Virtual Sniper Trials by ZXeno 2013-12-16T06:49:00

Your Linux build is broken.

The .rar is not a .rar

Virtual Sniper Trials by ZXeno 2013-12-16T07:16:00

The link is wrong, but I changed it and fixed it.

Change it from
http://signalreceived.com/LD28/LD28.html/LD28_Linux.zip
to
http://signalreceived.com/LD28/LD28_Linux.zip

Virtual Sniper Trials by ZXeno 2013-12-16T07:19:00

Okay, it worked, but it was so slow it was unplayable.
I'll just leave it unrated for now. (apart from graphics, which were nice)

Virtual Sniper Trials by ZXeno 2013-12-16T07:40:00

Okay, turns out all Unity games are running crap for me.
I'll give it another go tomorrow on my Windows Desktop.

Virtual Sniper Trials by ZXeno 2013-12-17T03:12:00

It worked better on Windows for me.

Nice game.

Only Mortal by noobsticks 2013-12-17T03:07:00

That was quite a good platformer.

A Cup of Christmas Fear by Toby Simone 2013-12-17T04:08:00

Downgrading to the jam to get the audio working was worth it for you!

Best audio I've heard so far.

Isles of Solara by ashen 2013-12-16T06:38:00

Very nice!

My only problem would be that the sounds were a little bit jumpy, but then again, I didn't do sounds myself so I can't complain ;)

Unibrow by ViliX64 2013-12-19T21:51:00

One of the best entries I've rated so far.

A Precious Arrow by Benjamin 2013-12-23T20:39:00

Excellent game, apart from the difficulty.

Lost in Universe by Doubstract 2013-12-17T04:58:00

I don't get it either, but good job. I can see there is content. I just can't get it.

UniFlagellete by vanaficionado 2013-12-16T06:14:00

Linux (and possibly Mac) are broken because you use '\' instead of '/' in the paths.

Use File.separator instead for cross-platform-ness.

You only get 1111 by funktor 2013-12-16T06:39:00

The Initiate's Spell by Nut 2013-12-22T21:21:00

That was one of the most fun games I've played this LD.

I finished it, and then I realised there were other ways to play.

Well done.

Shoot The Potato by sparoah10 2013-12-22T20:58:00

It crashed in 3 seconds.

Eternal Champion by gavrilovmiroslav 2013-12-17T03:34:00

It was a bit confusing what was going on, but it was a decent game nonetheless.

Last Minute Christmas Chopping by Notch 2013-12-17T04:03:00

Great game.

The Single Block by Static_boy123 2013-12-17T03:37:00

A bit too glitchy to be that playable, but the puzzles were quite well designed.

One Cigarette by Suese 2013-12-17T03:22:00

A little bit glitchy, but quite good overall.

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

The Valley Rule by Raiyumi 2014-05-06T07:44:00

Simply amazing.

If I had one criticism it would be the repeated use of climbing up walls with overhangs. It was just difficult and repetitive.

But otherwise, it was a great game.

Shadows Below by HeroesGrave 2014-05-02T06:02:00

arrogant.gamer: Try installing GLFW3

Shadows Below by HeroesGrave 2014-05-03T00:47:00

pvwradtke: I'm using Rust (rust-lang.org), which due to being in-development, is quite tricky to get working.

I've tried both cross compiling from Linux with Mingw-gcc (which failed because Rust itself doesn't cross-compile correctly between some platforms yet), and building on Windows with MSYS, which failed because it doesn't pick up some libraries.

Next up I'm going to try building an SDL backend to the library I used and hopefully that'll work.

Shadows Below by HeroesGrave 2014-05-03T03:31:00

mjau: That's strange. freeimage and glfw aren't that uncommon libraries.

I'll look into it once I get the Windows build working.

Shadows Below by HeroesGrave 2014-05-03T05:23:00

Okay, updated the GLFW build to include GLFW and freeimage, and uploaded a SDL version that can hopefully be ported to windows.

Unfortunately, I can't access my windows box right now so the wait will be a bit longer.

Shadows Below by HeroesGrave 2014-05-03T22:08:00

Damn. I didn't know it was going to require that.

I'll package it in as soon as I can.

Shadows Below by HeroesGrave 2014-05-04T00:08:00

Okay, I've fixed up the windows build (or at least I hope I have)

Shadows Below by HeroesGrave 2014-05-09T22:28:00

I thought I had it balanced so that the skeletons would make you more powerful than losing you health, but it seems I was wrong.

Now that I think about it, checkpoints would've been a good idea, regardless.

I did realise the gameplay was very simplistic. I just didn't have enough time to make it more complex.

Subterranean Extermination by Fritzendugan 2014-05-03T20:53:00

That was a very intersting and fun mechanic.

Also letting you know that my game now has a windows build available (You commented saying you could help me compile for Windows, but I worked it out myself. Thanks for the offer though) if you would like to try it.

Sorry about plugging it here, but this was really the only reliable way to contact you.

Subterranean Extermination by Fritzendugan 2014-05-06T04:10:00

It seems you took my last comment the wrong way, but here's a more in-depth review and criticism:

At first, I found the orientation of the game slightly confusing. The graphics led me to believe there would be gravity, but then when there wasn't I was a bit unsure what was going on. It took me a few playthroughs to get it.

I found the idea of 'blowing enemies up' quite amusing, while not causing any negative effect to the rest of the game. Well done on that.

The additional method of crushing enemies with rocks was quite a nice feature, and perhaps more rocks on the level would allow it to be better used.

Maybe it's just my mouse, but sometimes while I was blowing up the enemies it would release them.

The slowness of breaking the blocks was quite annoying, but it looks like you realised that.

My speakers are dead atm so I couldn't judge the sound.

Apart from the fact that the game was underground, I'm not sure how much this relates to beneath the surface. It felt like the same game could be put in any environment and still feel the same. (I know I didn't do this well either)

This feels a lot like a game which I know I played when I was younger, but I can't remember, so you get a bit of a bonus for nostalgia. ;)

If there was one thing I think would make the game better, it would be more variety in enemies. I noticed that new enemies were being added after a few levels, but it felt too slow for the pace of the game.

Rise of Demons by TeamKl0n 2014-05-02T23:14:00

Nicely done.

Deep in the Ocean by abuzreq 2014-05-04T00:44:00

If this is Java, (see above comment), why no Linux (or Mac) versions?

Parallel by Cosine 2014-05-03T05:42:00

I tried compiling for Linux, but got a load of compiler errors about missing methods/fields.

Parallel by Cosine 2014-05-04T00:05:00

Sorry about the plug, but I thought I'd let you know I've (hopefully) fixed up the windows build of my game.

About your game: Can we have a copy of all the source code you used (including the Indigo Engine) because the github repo seems to have something different to what you used.

Colony 31 by Crazi456 2014-05-08T07:37:00

Any chance of a Linux version?

Super Plumber Brothers by arrogant.gamer 2014-05-03T05:21:00

Sorry about plugging it here, but I've uploaded a new version of my game that includes GLFW (or you could download the SDL version). That should fix the linking errors and allow you to play it.

As for your game, well... o_______O

In the Black by HybridMind 2014-05-04T00:11:00

Great mood.

Sub Bomber by Rahazan 2014-05-06T07:04:00

That was amazing.

5 stars for fun.

Sub Bomber by Rahazan 2014-05-08T07:02:00

After playing for ages I have highscore of 22.

AHH LAVA! by Dreii 2014-05-03T20:58:00

The link to the web version is not working for me. Firefox says it cannot find the server. It looks pretty good though.

Just letting you know that my game Shadows Below has a Windows version available if you want to try it (you commented saying you wish there was, so I assume you do :D).

Sorry for plugging it here, but there was really no other way to contact you.

AHH LAVA! by Dreii 2014-05-04T00:07:00

I think your site is broken. I get unknown host when pinging.

AHH LAVA! by Dreii 2014-05-04T02:28:00

That was definitely one of the most fun games I've played this LD.

Glad I finally got to try it.

The Money Beneath Our Ground by João Kucera 2014-05-03T20:55:00

I'm on Linux, so Unity webplayer doesn't work, but you have very nice graphics.

Just letting you know that my game Shadows Below has a Windows build out if you would like to try it (you commented asking for one so I assume you do).

I apologise for plugging it here, but this is the only reliable way to contact you.

Bricked by twelveplusplus 2014-05-03T20:49:00

I can't play your game, because it's Unity webplayer (and I'm on Linux), but I'm letting you know that my game now has a Windows build available if you want to give it a go.

Sorry for plugging it, but this is really the only way to contact you.

All I can say is that your graphics look... interesting ;)

Alien Cyclope Miner on Mars by SK16 Games 2014-05-03T21:01:00

The graphics look very nice and the concept sounds quite interesting, but I'm on Linux and so can't give it a go.

Just letting you know that my game has a Windows version available if you would like to try it (you commented that you wanted to so I assume you do).

I apologise for plugging it here but there was really no other way for me to contact you.

Haunted Mine by fallingBear 2014-05-09T02:45:00

Any chance of a Linux port?

Inside Mt. Drew by pyrogames 2014-05-03T06:06:00

I'm not sure what the objective was but the game seemed decent enough.

Igneous by torcado 2014-05-08T07:35:00

A nice, fun, well-polished puzzle game.

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Snow, Wolves, and Explosive Arrows by HeroesGrave 2014-12-09T21:31:00

I'm having trouble compiling for Windows at the moment.
MinGW never works well for me.

I'll upload a windows build if I can get it working.

Snow, Wolves, and Explosive Arrows by HeroesGrave 2014-12-12T20:53:00

@Night: Sounds like your gcc-libs package is out of date or something (or whatever the package is called on ubuntu).

Snow, Wolves, and Explosive Arrows by HeroesGrave 2014-12-14T23:43:00

I am very sorry about the platform support, but I've had a lot of trouble compiling on Windows, and I don't have a Mac so compiling for that is out of the question.

Entire Screen of One Game by Tom 7 2014-12-10T22:25:00

The only criticism I have is the lack of an objective.

Very interesting interpretation of the theme.

First of Many by Anikki 2014-12-10T21:53:00

Looks really great but I'm on Linux :(

You have a very nice art style.
