LD24 — Evolution

Volver by rhysvdw 2012-08-27T12:24:00

The game runs smoothly and is really nice to play. Something i didn't figured outwhile playing. Do the weapons have different power or only differnet graphics? - I always needed three hits to destroy the enemy.

Badass by Sos 2012-08-27T20:27:00

I enjoyed this game, the nice tune and the wonderfully done graphics. Also good, is that you can press y instead of z (many games in this compo don't allow this :/)
I think it was just a bit too fast to recognize all details in the background ;)
+ The badass reminded me of Duke Nukem :D
Altogether: Well done & 'It's time to kick ass' :)

Germa by Whiteclaws 2012-08-28T10:53:00

This game is addicting. Some background graphics and ambient sounds would have created a whole new atmosphere. But anyhow this game is fun and I fairly like it even though the game is a bit similar 'Osmos'. Well done :)

WTF Aliens!? by Gaeel 2012-08-30T15:20:00

The game is interesting and also fun to play. Although i moved the ship with the rythm, the game sometimes did't count it. Bonus point: It runs on my netbook (resolution & speed). Well done ;)

RE-evolution: The Legend of Hopper by andreyin 2012-08-27T14:02:00

This game is a nice little game, which convinced me absolutely. I played it nine times, but i weren't able to kill one of the guys :/ (they need three hits to kill me and i need over 5 to kill one of them)
Remarkable are the detailed graphics (e.g. no trees in the background after the impact)
Even though it was hard, it was quite fascinating (I like challenging games). Well done :)

Rise of a Colony by Folis 2012-08-27T15:01:00

This game looks nice, but is a bit short.
Some animations would be good.
This game has the potential to become a great post-compo game.
I like it :)

Helix by jrrt 2012-08-27T12:01:00

This game is interesting and reminds me a bit of snake. Because of the lack of gameplay there's not much motivation to continue playing. Furthermore the controls are a bit confusing. But the approaches can be recognized and if this game gets completed, it will make a good post-compo version. I especially like the the name (:>) and the way the of the double-helix behaves while moving. Nicely done :)

kernel exception by ratking 2012-08-31T15:02:00

I really enjoyed playing this game. A 'select all' Button would be great. Overall it's a nice and fun game :)

Evo Space by edibletoaster 2012-08-30T15:36:00

I like this game. The controls would be better if [up] is for foreward and [left/right] for rotation. But it's nice that I can place the weapons where i want. Overall this game is really fun. Well-done.

Advolvolution by Charlie Hadden 2012-08-28T12:44:00

I survived 50 seconds. This game is interesting. The usage of more audio would have been great. But overall it's a neat idea and fun playing, too. Well-done :)

LD25 — You are the Villain

Vanillian by TheSheep 2012-12-25T21:29:00

The pretty drawn graphics and the music generate a nice atmosphere. Apart from some bugs (e.g. you sometimes can go through NPCs or you spawn on the wrong place when you change the screen) well implemented game which made me chuckle a bit ;)

TYRANOFORCE by blob 2012-12-25T21:37:00

Well done. At first it was quity tricky to figure it out but then it worked better ;)

GoatSoccer by hirsch 2012-12-16T22:27:00

If you do not have anyone to play this game with, you can create 4 telnet instances and play with yourself ;)

The Worse of Two Evils by cptalbertwesker 2012-12-20T20:25:00

I wasn't able to pick a villain (Web version <- I have linux + chromium) But the starting screen looks nice ;)

Field Report by Ludonaut 2012-12-20T21:28:00

This game made me laugh and facepalm (positive) at the same time :D
It is simple, but i played it longer than other LD games
Good Work :)

Holly Jolly Pyromaniac by UndergroundPixel 2012-12-20T20:18:00

Quite funny and nice idea. Seems to be polished. I the details like the little people running around. The music is maybe a bit too "sharp", but overall its an addicting little game :)

LD26 — Minimalism

Iceberg Explorer by tinyworlds 2013-05-01T13:22:00

The linux version won't run for me and when i try to run the windows version using Wine i get the message 'Large texture support required'. :/

Three Tiles by PaidGEEK 2013-05-01T14:34:00

It doesn't run on my Linux x86 machine :/
A black loading window opens and nothing happens anymore.

Werewolf in Space by free_napalm 2013-05-20T19:50:00

At first it was somewhat hard to get it, but at the second time it worked well. Sounds are missing, but overall really nice concept :)

Freedom by orangepascal 2013-05-01T14:23:00

Hehe, nice little game :)

Colourless by Puccini 2013-05-01T16:30:00

Survived 53 sec. Funny little game. :)

Rhythm Serenade by Whiteclaws 2013-04-30T21:29:00

I had a bit trouble with the controls but overall the game looks good and is pretty minimalistic :)

I don't know if theres any audio at all or if my browser doesn't play it :/

Pix by Holofire 2013-05-01T14:54:00

The game worked fine for me and the concept is really fun. Level 7 was quite harder than the following ones.
The minimalistic sounds did the job and overall its an addicting little game. :)

Prisma by plash 2013-05-02T20:39:00

I don't really understand why i got teleported to the beginning of the game in the "Theres only one exit" level. Anyways the game itself is minimalistic and fun to play, even if the move sound gets annoying after a time.
Intersting levels - Good work :)

for science! by xandy 2013-04-30T17:01:00

I can only play the game for ~5 sec, then the game freezes (but only 50% CPU usage). I found out that it happens when the big crash particles appear. The moving particles don't influence the game at all.

SpaceGeometry : The Arcade Version by metaldemon 2013-05-01T14:11:00

The game doesnt work for me (Linux x86; mono, wine, ... installed)

THE POTATO GAME by BleuLlama 2013-05-01T16:24:00

Funny little game :D - I will now try to speedrun :P

10 Second Language by Loren 2013-05-01T15:21:00

Really interesting experimental game :)

Mondrian Madness by ThatOtherPerson 2013-05-01T20:19:00

Nice idea. I would have reversed the gradient so that dark colours have less levels then bright ones like red, yellow, red, etc.
Sounds would definetly improve the amosphrere. But overall this abstract game is fun to play ^^
Well done :)

CIRCLE SQUARE TRIANGLE by tinytouchtales 2013-05-01T19:25:00

Circle-Square-Triangle, linear but minimal and fun ;)
The game feels polished and has a repetitive soundtrack that fits to the gameplay of the game. Good work ^^

silly squares by lightsoda 2013-05-01T15:17:00

The controls were a bit to unprecise, so i often hit one of the orange squares which was a bit frustrating. The awesome music motivated me to continue playing. I didn't find the clue so i tried the 26th (LD #26) blue quare and some others but I didn't found the right one. Overall a good sounding nice game :)

Box's World by avidgamerNino 2013-05-13T13:53:00

I restarted the game twice and played it several minutes. I wasn't able to figure out what was going on :/
I heard some sounds and i didn't knew what they mean.
What should i do? :O

Life in a nutshell by Pixelfan Games 2013-05-01T20:29:00

In the first level crouching doesn't protect you and seems to be useless. In the beginning of the second level is a bug where the player gets stuck facing an enemy and can't move or attack anymore. In this state the game isn't really playble.
The graphics are well drawn and the music is awesome and adds much to the atmosphere.

Left Right Space by maryrosecook 2013-05-13T18:19:00

Hehe, nice game. I messed everything up ;)
Sometimes I hit a bubble and died while respwaning and the controls are a bit too unprecise/fast.
But overall interesting mechanics, well done :)

Sense Certainty by Behemoth 2013-05-13T13:56:00

Pretty minimalistic, but it gets confusing ;)

City Walk by MaxSzlagor 2013-05-01T20:12:00

At first I thought "That does not sound to be fun to play, lets try it"
I just knew exploration games like Proteus and Antichamber and believed that only 3D exploration are realistic enough and games can be fun.
When i came to the traffic light I was really impressed and enjoyed the whole (too short! :p) walk. Awesome :) -> Top rating.

Justice by nintendoeats 2013-05-01T18:02:00

Even if i missed much of the game (1024x600 netbook screen) it was partly playable and i would not have recognized it if i weren't told that the game screen shows more than a coloured line, text and questions. Great job, intense story :)

Angry Reviewer by vgcharlienash 2013-05-01T18:25:00

This game works in well in my windows 98 vm ^^
Fun little batch game :)

Simple SHMUP by Bri Rah 2013-05-13T18:30:00

It would be great, if you could control the shooting direction. Maybe make it rotate to the opposite direction the mouse is moving. Anyways minimalistic enough and fun ;)
It also has a nice background tune.
Well Done :)

MiniQix by Wiering 2013-05-01T19:31:00

I should have became abstrct painter ;)
There are already existing games mit similar gameplay, but noone outputs art like this. Well done :)

BLOBGLOBS by Cell 2013-05-01T21:21:00

- The window is too big for a netbook screen (1024x600)
- [z][x][c] is not in a row on some keyboards (y,x,c here, try to bind multiple keys for one function)

+ Intersting controls. How does the enemy position affect your position?
+ Beautiful graphics (like all of your games)
+ Minimalistic ;)

Nice game :)

Rhythminalism by Shaun Inman 2013-05-13T18:35:00

Interesting idea, but you can cheat by mashing space.
Fun little game, good work ;)

mungeon by Tokken18 2013-05-01T14:40:00

I have linux and thus cannot play, too. :p
Or is there already a possibility to run Unity Web Player on linux machines?

Rad vs Blae by GetFun 2013-05-01T19:38:00

The usual problem with multiplayer games is:
+ If noone plays it you cannot play --> include AI
+ Lag --> native application instead of web based
This one actually seems to be fun. :)

flee the inevitable by sythe 2013-05-01T18:35:00

The collision detection seems to have some issues (you can jump if a line hits your head). Nice little game :)

LD28 — You Only Get One

Infinite Fame by bitslap 2013-12-17T19:54:00

The game is really difficult, but i found out that you can escape the death rays by flying behind the boss - but this tactic fails when those little f#*cking drones come out :D
Nice tune, really nice game :)

Vega Core by PTSnoop 2013-12-16T16:11:00

I like those type of games: Not many features, but really polished with a nice ambient sound and little details. Although it is really hard, it is still fun to play. Good job :)

Zombiehirsch by hirsch 2013-12-17T20:13:00

It should be working for everyone :O - It would be interesting to locate the issue. I have not tried it with a x64 system yet, but normally it should work just fine.

Doubt by rxi 2013-12-17T20:59:00

The MUTE button is totally obsolete :D This soundtrack is just gorgeou, it would be nice to be able to download the soundtrack.
Really beautiful and calm game, reminded me of proteus :)
A W E S O M E

Just One Minute by TheCze 2013-12-16T16:36:00

Mhh, I shouldn't have had selected Iron Man mode :D
The game is quite interesting and the 3d effect is nice.
Well done :)

the 1ONEliest number by c0nfused 2013-12-16T15:21:00

The lost-one-health-sound scared the heck out of me for a second, overall interesting idea, even though it runs a bit slow and the collision seems to be a bit unbalanced. But maybe its just my slow computer :D

You only get one pixel by Folis 2013-12-16T15:06:00

This is .... abstract art :D
Neat idea, reminded me a bit of the million dollar homepage, but there you have to pay for a pixel :D

One Pickup One Spell - LD28 by ocirne23 2013-12-17T20:24:00

The lighting is really nice and the gameplay is really entertaining. The music seem to be a bit improvised though :P

Agent LD28 by Steve | tacospice 2013-12-18T19:27:00

I really liked the isometric perspective, and the game is quite good for this short amount of time. I just got a bit confused, because i did not know why the whole city explodes because of killing one human :D
Otherwise nice game :)

Jump If You Can by PolishedPixels 2013-12-16T15:12:00

A really neat idea, but it would be nice to be able to scale the window as the resolution was too big for my netbook screen (1024x600). :)

The TORPEDO by windwalkerranger 2013-12-17T20:29:00

I get a loading error (Chrome saying WebGL was blocked) and get referred to this site: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2905826?p=ib_webgl&rd=1 - Reloading doesn't help either :S

CHOOSE W1SELY by ViKing Games 2014-01-06T18:31:00

Really nice game, works with wine (except the music). One thing that was a bit disadvantageous is the [z] key to shoot (german keyboard layout) - beside of this the game is really fun to play! Good work :)
+ The sounds were really nice

BL1ND by Shaun LeBron 2013-12-18T19:44:00

This is a really interesting way to show the environment, even if its a bit confusing though :D
But who never wanted to "see" 360°
Really nice game :)

One chance to save your ass by occash 2013-12-17T20:15:00

Well the theme is not the main part in a Ludum Dare game, so i think this game is just fine :)

Pointless Game! by djdduty 2014-01-06T18:34:00

It ran a bit slow because of WebGL, but it has a nice tune :D

Make it Count by tSwitch 2013-12-16T17:06:00

The idea of a bouncing bullet is nothing new, but an idea is always just as good as its implementation and regarding this aspect is just really fun. The catchy tune is great. :)
It works fine with WINE (except switching desktop, then the whole game zooms by the factor of two each time)
+ Bonus Points for the auto resolution, so it even fits on my netbook screen. Thats the first game of this LD i played that supports it.

Once Charged by pighead10 2013-12-16T18:24:00

The game is hard, but challenging. For me the movement speed was a bit too unprecise and the angle of the square was not identical with the angle to the mouse cursor.
Overall nice game :)

Once Charged by pighead10 2013-12-16T18:27:00

Sorry I meant "Hard and challenging" (but in a good way) ;)

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Mammoth Monkey Mole by ehtd 2014-08-25T23:29:00

I accidently killed the mole twice, he trusted me :(

I like the puzzles that sometimes have multiple solutions and are a bit tricky.
Nice game :)

APOLLO by graebor 2014-08-25T22:58:00

From the screenshots your game looks pretty, but unfortuanently Unity Web Player does not work with Linux. As far as i know Unity supports building for Linux. Maybe you want to provide one. I would definetly play your game ;)

A Broken Planet by NRathbone 2014-08-25T20:17:00

Interesting idea. I think the deaths occour pretty abrupt. However its nice to play and the web UI helps to keep track of the things around you.
Well Done :)

Ferryman by ashdnazg 2014-08-25T22:50:00

Looks like you lots of effort into the game. The game is fun to play and has a nice tune. I would wish that the boats could collide :D

Besides of that I encountered a bug: The music stopped and ~30 seconds later all boats went out of the right screen starting an infinite loop that drew 100% cpu power and crashed the game/system. Unfortuanently i can't provide more debug info. I hope that helps :)

But overall well done!

Darkness by kevinAlbs 2014-08-25T20:23:00

Even though i am not used to control platformers with my left hand, it's a fun little game that i definetly enjoyed playing.

Jessie and Jack by rnlf 2014-08-25T16:40:00

I am on Linux and can't play the game as the framerate is too low (~1 fps in 5 sec.). The löve2d version is the newest, other games seem to run just fine. I noticed that the framerate even lowers in the beginning with the alpha blending. Might this be the issue? Sound is running without any problems.

Planetshaker for Android by Maek 2014-08-25T17:21:00

Thats a nice casual android game. Small and simple and does not need extra permissions. A (local) highscore list not bound to Google Play Games would be nice :)

Planet Rescuers by lion123 2014-08-25T17:06:00

Seems like it is not completely finished yet, but i like the initial idea about changing the past. What i also like is that the terrain in the future is based on the action in the past :)

Disconnected Keyboard by Aomeas 2014-08-25T19:58:00

This game is a great example how people make completey different games based on a different approach of the same theme. I really like the idea of controlling the game with PCB connections.
Well Done :)

> Continue by ratking 2014-08-25T16:53:00

I am playing the Linux build (+1) and I encountered an issue: If I add my own path and write an "r" in the textbox the whole game resets to the first screen.

Beside this the idea is really interesting and I want to see how this approach will develop :)

Inner Self by Cstudios 2014-08-25T23:10:00

This game creates an incredible atmosphere that will make you think.
Awesome!

Prim by Vulture Tamer 2014-08-25T17:28:00

I do not really get the game mechanic. Can you explain it in the description?
I also found out that it does not work with chrome (with firefox it does).

Orange by JaJ 2014-08-25T19:48:00

Wow, i am always suprised what people can make in 48h, this game feels really polished :)

Converged by gnx 2014-08-26T13:26:00

I really enjoyed the audio, which definetly reminded me of Hotline Miami. I noticed that your key checking/movement is wrong. Make sure to always check every key (if someone presses the right arrow key it doesn't automatically mean that he does not press the left arrow key). Then diagonal walking would be possible, which would create a smoother gameplay experience. Otherwise i am sure that if you had a bit more time this woud have been developed even more maybe even with more levels etc.

Overall thats a nice and fun game to play :)
