LD30 — Connected Worlds

Cosmic Conqueror by MunkeeBacon 2014-08-29T22:25:00

I liked the rocketship sound effect :D Cool art style and solid gameplay, nice

Epic Galactic Conquest by madk 2014-08-26T23:46:00

This is a very fun game :) gameplay is pretty addictive. I like the three-neighbours design mechanic, since it felt rewarding conquering an expensive world by capturing all the cheaper neighbours :D good game, sir

STOP THE ALIENS by ArthurMaker 2014-08-31T01:30:00

Java Excpetion occured for me unfortunatly

Altrein's Portal by MacronCPP 2014-08-29T22:21:00

This is pretty good :) Like the build interface.

Bleed Zone by Symmeteer 2014-08-25T15:58:00

How to game sir? I cant figure out any buttons. I love management games so it'd be neat to try out this concept. Maybe upadate your game notes to explain how to use the game? Or what I am seeing on screen?

Panel Galaxy by Colorvade 2014-08-26T23:08:00

Neat concept, nice art :)

Outer Threat by ypr 2014-08-25T15:49:00

Haha nooo I got swarmed :D Pretty good idea and neat execution. It might be better if planets buffed each other a bit more. For example if the jungle planets regeneration buffed faster you could keep going for longer if you could micro properly? As it stands now you have to assign the jungle planets buff and then leave it for quite some time, meaning you don't have anything to do (apart from stare in horror as your other planets get ravaged :P). Still pretty fun game though.

Imaginary Friends by tchem 2014-08-25T15:55:00

It's pretty difficult to land hits on enemies using the keyboard but its a neat concept. If you lose, you pretty much killed yourself haha. The art style is nice and I like the audio. Especially that scratchy sound when the game starts or you respawn, big fan of that one.

Troika - how long will you cooperate? by Tomker 2014-08-25T16:08:00

A little bit of a learning curve but I got it in the end. I like that you spend more time worrying about the planet movement than all the asteroids :D Pretty cool idea!

Ennaffa by MintArcade 2014-08-25T16:23:00

I made it outside! I went on that flower and got scared since I was so high up! D: I love the art style, comic book style graphics are always a win for me :D Clever level design as well.

I found a minor bug where if you swap worlds to quickly the audio cuts out. Probably because the previous audio couldn’t start properly, minor issue though – ship it! :P

Trade routes by Shivur 2014-08-26T23:32:00

Ah, dude this game was super fun. One of my favorites thus far.I like the concept and the random planet generation!

WorldWar of Connectidia by Goutye 2014-08-25T16:49:00

Good concept, nice that you put in the effort to make a tutorial. You managed to combine the gameplay and management aspects really well.

Disconnect by Colthor 2014-08-25T14:54:00

Very nice concept:D I like games where you have to connect things to form a path. There are many of those games though so it's nice to see somebody try a new take on them. My little astronaut flying around in the room, getting smashed on walls as I move is hillarious btw :D

Dwarf Portals by Barink-social 2014-08-25T15:09:00

When playing the windows version I had to use leftclick not rightclick as the game instructed. Good basic framework, I like the concept. Reminds me of Realm Of the Mad God for some reason :)

Salvation by HoboMechanistic 2014-08-25T17:37:00

Thanks for the feedback guys :) I'm going to work to improve this now that the compo is over. foolmoron, when I added a texture to the construction blocks it broke the highlighting functionality. So you can't see what block you have selected currently :( The building will be built on the last construction block you clicked, buildings can also overwrite other buildings. I know it's pretty messy right now, but thanks for trying it out all :D

They Were Just Pixels by Ohems 2014-08-25T17:01:00

Big fan of the ending :D Won't spoil it for people though. I like your take on the theme, it's pretty original. Well done sir.

Between Worlds by Alaxe 2014-08-25T00:09:00

Fun game dude :D It made me feel smart when I beat the level. I couldn't beat the next one though.

Hope you get that annoying stuck on a wall bug fixed. I'd also add like a mute music option. Awesome game concept though and the levels are pretty well designed :D

Holiday Nightmare by KingBolonzo 2014-08-31T01:34:00

Cool theme concept :)

Space Mail by jab 2014-08-25T13:36:00

Pretty cool game :) It would be nice if you could get mail packages to disappear quicker when they fall off the belt-o-matics, even if you had to pay credits.

I also had one of my belt-o-matics get stuck after buying it because I bought two at the same time.

Mirror Worlds by malf 2014-08-25T13:56:00

This game made my brain hurt, but in a good way :o

A Princess' Request by Dasginger 2014-08-25T14:38:00

Like a fast-paced Limbo, I really loved the sound effects in this game. Not harsh on the ears and the music was really fitting as well. The story was neat, I like the way you presented the princess using the art style and the dialog was very interesting. :D

Two Must Become One by b5cully 2014-08-26T23:04:00

I really like the level design, the little cells are awesome :) The pathfindings pretty neat as well. Had a lot of fun :)

Follow The Light by kostka 2014-08-25T17:32:00

I liked the levels art style :)

Intergalactic Delivery Services Corporation by sP0CkEr2 2014-08-31T01:39:00

Fun :D I love the launch mechanic and the little space ship is adorable.

NetConnect by teoacosta 2014-08-25T14:22:00

Awesome music! Best I've heard so far. The world this is set in is bad ass. Reminds me of those 80's post apoc movies. Love the nice art style :D

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

SnowCard by mrexcessive 2014-12-11T22:25:00

I enjoyed figuring out how to play and thought the reward of hearing a jaunty tune was nice, however in some cases the flags obscured the clues in the environment which turned it into a guessing game. Some sort of penalty for screwing up would make it feel more gamey I feel.

Ride A Novel by Eno Khaon 2014-12-09T22:02:00

I do like that fact that you can click to start when ever the text is being written then ride it. That's a neat idea!

Unfortunately I ran into some problems. The camera would pan out of the riding level when you started to ride. It might have been better if you had the camera follow the bugbear closer. I also broke the collision on your level, but this didnt break the game just affected my score. I like the concept though, keep at it! :)

Indecisive Gamer by person124 2014-12-09T22:55:00

I like how it speeds up the longer you play. Pretty neat take on the theme, well done :) Especially in 12 hours. My score was 3 :(

Super Doozy Tank 5000 by enosshenk 2014-12-09T21:53:00

I love the colours! :D The gameplay is also pretty smooth and I like the fact you can use enemy fire against other enemies.

This is nit picking but the 'Get Ready' screen is a little to long I feel. And it would be nice to see more things on the level but those are minor details :D Good job!

Cat's Iris by VonDare 2014-12-09T22:51:00

Hahaha the audio in this game is amazing good :D haha. Simple but good stuff since you're learning the engine. *Bawoop!*

Gone by rnlf 2014-12-09T22:27:00

I liked that dead end part in the level haha. "Very strange". Nice game, I like the shadow or line-of-sight effect a lot.

AVOID by perfect victim 2014-12-09T22:44:00

I liked the look and feel of the game. Very retro :D I even liked the speed it plays at. However the random movement can be a bit tedious at times. Adding an AI of some sort or even a pattern based movement for the enemy would have been sweet.

Good for a first time compo man!

Disco Kitty Nightmare by Alendro 2014-12-11T07:08:00

Love the colours and the audio :D

Runaway by kothead 2014-12-11T07:05:00

I love the movement controls and the audio. The audio really makes the game, well done :)

Hop & Chop by Pat Kemp 2014-12-09T22:08:00

Dude, cooking shredded cabbage is hard D:

This is a really addictive little game :D I liked it a lot and can see how it would be neat on a phone!

Tama by kill0u 2014-12-09T13:44:00

I thought the erratic movements actually kind of fit the aesthetic, thought the idea was good and it was definitely fun to play :D.

Beautiful Yoga Explosion by nosfer 2014-12-24T17:46:00

Whoa, nice to see another same-screen multiplayer game :D I love the movement, nice and smooth!

My Weekend in Front of a Screen by Morgawr 2014-12-24T17:33:00

Pretty cool, would have liked more options though

The 31st Dealer by Snowdrama 2014-12-24T17:42:00

As has been said before I love the lighting effects :D I also liked the transitioning between levels of the mansion.
