LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Snowman Sumo by AtkinsSJ 2014-12-08T18:28:00

The sound effects are amazing. Have nobody here to play local coop with, but I can see that the game is quite fun just like that. XD

Zombies 'N Spies by Wezley 2014-12-08T08:52:00

I actually liked the controls... xD

Thunder Plays by Evilion 2014-12-08T19:23:00

Not sure if I can say much about the gameplay... But those graphics are amazing. Good use of sounds, too. Theme... Maybe? Not entirely sure really.
You're making this difficult to rate. ^^''

This was really entertaining, but I gotta take off points for lack of gameplay Somewhere, right? Maybe I should just judge the stuff that was good for sure and leave the other things on n/a...

Break the Limits! by Volute 2014-12-08T19:52:00

I've seen a similar concept before, but you did a much better job on it than i've seen so far. Very neatly made.

One-Floor Dungeon by Ryusui 2014-12-09T08:29:00

This was really fun. Very nicely made.

Not Making It by Mattias Wargren 2014-12-08T14:08:00

I mildly hate you for making a game all about Quicktime events. Then again, looking at some of the more recent Resident Evil games, you might make it into Capcom if you send them a copy of your game!

To Continue by raincole 2014-12-08T18:53:00

Great Idea and well executed. Much like.

Garden of Brewery, Science and Malice by mortus 2014-12-09T09:44:00

Very nice TD game. A few times it turned night again right after day started without me clicking anything, not a gamebreaker though (it's beatable anyway).
very fun balancing seed gain with strong defense!

One screen Labyrinth by NaoisTheGuardian 2014-12-08T09:38:00

Smooth controls are pretty nice, overall graphics and sound fit together well, too. Could use a few more things to increase the difficulty (i dunno, traps or somesuch) but running out of time is nothing rare in a LD XD

Cauldron Twins by drilltail 2014-12-09T08:47:00

Awhut. This shmup is awesome. I love your cauldron mechanics - they make it so much harder to focus on dodging.

The Greenening by Erkberg 2014-12-09T11:52:00

pretty interesting idea alright.
Next task: Grow a jungle to cover the entire planet. =P

Approaching Grace by Sam Oates Games 2014-12-08T09:48:00

Didn't work for me on chrome either (it didn't even ask for the unity plugin in the first place), but it worked fine in the windows downloaded version.

I like the gameplay, the sounds and graphics are funny (not bad though), I just wish enemies wouldn't spawn right next to my people instant-hitting them so often. XD

ASDF ASDF by alesys 2014-12-08T09:07:00

Nice gameplay. Also quite sweet graphics!

Squareon by okkolobr 2014-12-08T09:30:00

Very nice. I didn't read your description before playing, so I was wondering what to do at first... well that was silly.
Very nice coloring and neat gameplay.

Ride A Novel by Eno Khaon 2014-12-14T08:26:00

Windows link "Unavailable"...

Rememba the Path by tedling 2014-12-08T08:33:00

Simple enough it looks at first - but actually rather difficult at times. Nice memory game!

Boobs Of War by Monochrome Bears 2014-12-08T18:36:00

I can confirm it working on Windows 7 64, too!

Also, this game is way better than it probably should be. Nice... Art. ;)

Snowball by TMKCodes 2014-12-08T14:40:00

jup, I need the libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, too >_<

Grid-based base-defender by Bronaldplo 2014-12-08T15:02:00

Whut. What was that boss...thing... ?! XDD

Is it even possible to stop that...? Oo

Fabulous Escape by HolyBlackCat 2014-12-08T09:25:00

Doesn't run on my computer for some reason!
"Fabulous Escape GL3.3.exe has stopped working"
Vertex shader compilation failed. ERROR:0:2: 'location' syntax error.
The regular version just complains about my Graphics card being too crappy (my graphics card isn't High End as I'm currently on my Laptop, but I do believe it should be sufficient for a platformer (All my Steam games run on it just fine))
-I'm running on Intel HD Graphics 4000

The screenshots look interesting though! XD

Fabulous Escape by HolyBlackCat 2014-12-09T21:37:00

The fixed version runs fine - Very awesome game! One of the best i've seen around. I love your use of the theme.

Fabulous Escape by HolyBlackCat 2014-12-09T21:41:00

@HolyBlackCat Also, about your comment on my game - If you want to cheat a little, holding G pressed while starting the game using Space gives you 200 lives ;)

I'm currently working on a post-LD version which starts out easier, but I didn't have the time left to add that during LD.

The 5th Layer by Iak 2014-12-08T18:19:00

There are currently only 3 phases - I already started working on more though!

The 5th Layer by Iak 2014-12-08T21:05:00

I don't have a Mac to test it myself, I just exported to OSX using the standard files provided with lwjgl - if you have any specific errors appearing I could try to find a fix...

The 5th Layer by Iak 2014-12-14T18:47:00

working on more levels already, visual/audio feedback for hitting enemies is a good idea, too.
Animations for enemies moving onto the screen rather than them just appearing there are already done and will be uploaded once I am relatively certain it causes no gamebreaking bugs.

Thanks for the feedback!

Pipe Quest by Hot Box Games 2014-12-09T19:53:00

Very smooth controls. I like it.

A Fine White Line by Taunia Sabanski 2014-12-09T08:03:00

I still had a few little problems like that I couldn't clean the hammer on any sink, the one in the room where you find the towel doesn't work for some reason. (at least when I clicked it nothing happened).

Figuring out where exactly I had to click on the Incinerator also wasn't quite obvious.

Other than that, I actually really liked the game. I could imagine a more advanced version (post LD) of the game with several different murder scenarios to clean up would be pretty awesome.

Save Christmas by ShadowTzu 2014-12-09T12:00:00

Didn't run for me. Something about my license being broken (pretty sure it isn't though).
Darn. And here I finally found someone else who wants to murder snowmen. =P

Spiral Dungeon by Pcholt 2014-12-08T09:17:00

If only combat had worked - kiting those things around gets a little old - I love the way you use whatever is currently not visible for terrain generation though! Nice graphics, too.
Excellent use of the Theme imo!

War of Tanks by LedgeTheDev 2014-12-08T08:57:00

This really makes me want to beat all 4 rounds. I'll try again...

The Snowman and the Cannons by thecord 2014-12-08T19:05:00

Saving snowmen?! Snowmen are meant to be burned down (not melted, melting is for wimps), not saved!!!

Seriously though. You may have gone just a little bit overkill on the graphics and stuff just to dodge a few snowballs =P
Other than that, not a bad concept. Dodging is fun as long as it doesn't lag (I'm on my laptop, so I don't have too high end specs ^^')

Monsters by Rulrite 2014-12-08T14:23:00

I like this. I could very well imagine playing this on the bus or so just for the heck of it, trying to achieve a highscore in the thousands. >=3

Ghoul Rush by ChaosCult 2014-12-09T19:30:00

It seems a little unrelated to the theme, but I do quite like the gameplay.

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Decipher Quest by SiENcE 2015-04-20T15:49:00

This was fun. I deciphered the code without knowing it or looking at the site you linked and only got one miss! Well done, the start made it clear enough how the code was built for it to be solvable in one go.

Rogue Planet by tompudding 2015-04-20T13:12:00

aww it didn't start because of some problem with pyconfig. (it tells me the file already exists but shouldn't...

Mable: The Journey by tripleVisionGames 2015-04-20T17:58:00

Bit difficult to get into the combat system, but actually really fun once I got it. Also the design is amazing.

Meggaggun by Gaeel 2015-04-20T12:13:00

I see the source code, but how do I play it?
'Windows' just links to the source code again...

Meggaggun by Gaeel 2015-04-20T14:45:00

Very nice. A game where I don't have to select what bullets to use but can just use ALL OF THEM AT ONCE. Lovely 'splosion effects!

Photophobia by NuSan 2015-04-20T14:32:00

amazing graphics, good audio, excellent mood, really nicely done.

Color Elementals by Kalkatos 2015-04-20T21:00:00

I should probably have read the text before playing. Whatever, figured it out on my own XD
Nice idea of opposing colors like that.

Adventures of BizMan by jontturi 2015-04-20T13:19:00

Nothing unconventional about this. That's everyday life for corrupt rich people. Bonus points for realism!
Classic mechanics, decent music, next time let me throw coins - they hit harder.

Nunchukkats by invi 2015-04-20T15:00:00

I love this game. Still a few clunky things about the controls at times, but if you fix these (like how the doublejump isn't very consistent) I'd buy a game like this with more levels! XD
Many awesomepoints.

Nunchukkats by invi 2015-04-20T16:31:00

Just played through this a second (and third) time, found some bugs for you to deal with! =P
-the height of second jumps is very inconsistent (sometimes catapulting me straight into the ceiling)
-by jump-cancelling in the right moment you can double-jump before even destroying the enemy
-walking off an edge allows you to jump while falling, with this all levels where you start on a high ground are beatable without using nunchakkats

CurseMan by sbarrio 2015-04-21T19:34:00

Cool, very different way of implementing it, but your idea of fighting through 'speech' is similar to mine I guess xD

Neat.

Square Sprint by jackrugile 2015-04-21T06:17:00

4:10 , 242clicks.
This is fun. Everything comes together well. Simple mechanic, well executed.

Don't Turn by DRAGONMASTER412 2015-04-21T05:39:00

I shall punch you all with my spoon!
Kinda wish health was a thing to give my survival a purpose, that'd be fun. But hey, bugs in a Jam are everything but rare xD

How I Escaped The Dungeon of Torment by EpaceGames 2015-04-20T16:08:00

I think there is a bug with hit chance (instead of adding up, it seems to only count the last item added).

That being said, pretty nice style and a very unconventional weapon indeed!

Daunting Disorientation by Ronin748 2015-04-21T06:00:00

That's a really awesome game. Only some mechanic to help you find that shed would be good... Half the time I have no idea where the damn thing is - and then get so far away from the spawnpoint that I probably wouldn't find the shed ever again.
Great graphics btw!

It started with the rain by Rother Games 2015-04-20T14:08:00

Well it Looks interesting - couldn't get it to run though. Crashes Twice upon launch. Not quite sure how it even does that, but yeah.

Weapon Regulator by drludos 2015-04-20T18:33:00

interesting use of the theme - I can only imagine a war where people run in between getting rid of unconventional weapons... XD

Sad Planets by JulioC 2015-04-20T17:06:00

Some strange collision things here and there, not too varied content, but a really cute concept. Going about turning all the bad stuff into good and happy stuff is a pretty interesting idea.

The TV Remote by Leandrus 2015-04-22T06:17:00

Very cool game. Maybe a bit troublesome that I have to learn by heart the game before I can do anything without dying, but hey there are games like that, too.

Octopus of Unfathomable Chaos by conno1234 2015-04-22T05:59:00

Wow. That was actually really fun. The different weapons are hilarious. Very unconventional indeed!

Guardian Shield by longshorts 2015-04-20T13:54:00

Who needs weapons if you can just crash into your opponent! Cool idea. Much like. Pretty wellmade, too!

Fruitinator by Ludorverr 2015-04-20T09:22:00

An Infinite-Exploding-Fruit-Launcher. 'nuff said.

Toilet War by SzRaPnEL 2015-04-20T13:08:00

I want my toilet at home to shoot lazors, too.
Also I agree with what SmilingCat said. xD

Girl from the north country by Muffin 2015-04-20T08:51:00

I like this. Seing the story change depending on small details that are changed is definitely interesting.

Riddix' Dialogue Adventure by Iak 2015-04-20T14:35:00

@Gaeel Did this happen after you created a fairly long weapon? I could see the game judging you too slow to move for a long time, so that might've caused the bug.

@all, thanks for the feedback!

fateOS by ThommazK 2015-04-20T16:54:00

That mood. Playing an... informationbroker like that was really cool. I'd actually love to play a much larger game in this style!

Sword in a mirror by GameQuester 2015-04-20T12:58:00

Cool platformer. Very fun mechanic for the sword! Overall pretty solid, I like the rate at which it gets more complicated.

Click It by mrploszaj 2015-04-20T13:45:00

I see what you mean by multiplatform! You really gotta get that desktop cleaned up though. What do you even use all those bins for?!

Jenny and Magic Lamps by Alsatian Studio 2015-04-21T06:08:00

bit strange to control, but funny concept to apply platformer logic to a realistic-ish environment

An Unconventional Weapon by Rulrite 2015-04-20T12:33:00

I HAZ A GUN THAT SHOOTS HAPPINESS!!!

yeah. Very nice game. I love how the scene changes with peoples collective mood.

undo todo shmup with wewe by freaknarf 2015-04-20T12:26:00

what the frick even happened. XDD
So I attacked that building thing with my rotten bananas...
And it started spawning millions of entities until it had no more RAM to use. That was odd.

Dodging weird stuff was fun while it lasted though xD myeah I like shmups.

Rubiks by soul6942 2015-04-20T09:05:00

I couldn't really figure out how to use rubik's cubes as a weapon at all... Am I doing something wrong? o.o

also: I like Rubik's Cubes!

Rubiks by soul6942 2015-04-20T21:11:00

Ah, I see now. No idea how I didn't figure that out myself. I could swear I tried every button, but I must've missed the one button that works. XD
This makes it a lot more playable. I reached the supposed end! XD

The Right Tool For The Job by 2Bit 2015-04-22T06:49:00

Great voice acting there. The controls are a bit of a pain when you have two screens though - my mouse keeps going on the other screen. Cool idea with the unconventional use of conventional weapons!

Pizza Predator by Mimus 2015-04-20T14:16:00

@all who are bugged out by the controls: you can change them in the settings.

@Mimus, stop wasting Pizza and let me eat it instead!

Don't steal my toaster! by MrDave 2015-04-20T13:04:00

Not too worried about my electrical appliances being stolen... they are all soaked in water and thus broken!

Bounce by Vulkanmannen 2015-04-20T12:07:00

Really good fun. Excellent puzzle game!
As everyone already mentioned it doesn't really go with the theme, but other than that I really enjoyed it.

Tree Trunk Trooper by OmnipotentPotatoDEV 2015-04-20T18:41:00

Gets hard too quickly, but not a bad concept

LightStars by NSoul 2015-04-20T13:36:00

That weird light weapon thingy is pretty cool. I like it. Turny turny bullets that shoot around walls are always good.

Mugslinger by IDidGame 2015-04-20T19:19:00

This game is much more fun than it probably should be. Really neat catchy-bouncy mechanic!

The Crazy World of Cotton Candy by Culpo 2015-04-20T21:05:00

There are so many things wrong with this game... By far the most creepy entry I have seen so far.

Labyrinth: The Watering by Shared 2015-04-20T17:09:00

Jup, same situation as seankimdesign mentioned...

AN UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPON by Avant-Marde 2015-04-20T17:43:00

I love the graphics style. I love the abstract way of communicating your message. The atmosphere is great. Not much of a 'game' I guess, but still very enjoyable.

LD37 — One room

ScareBear by Mr_Field 2016-12-14T19:11:00

It's a niice idea...but...after I defeated the knight, I went back to my room and..couldn't do anything. so...it's not exactly fool proof if I can mess something up...I feel like I missed a lot...

Parts and Labor by Dynamic Panic Studios 2016-12-29T21:46:00

At first confusing, but once used to it the controls were alright. The gameplay is actually a fairly fun concept. Good job with the theme.

Would be nice if I could interact while the ladder-person isn't in the way of a pipe though. ;)

E-Cracs by bigoss73 2016-12-29T21:03:00

That was actually pretty fun. The X-Button is bit troublesome on a QWERTZ keyboard, but then again who uses these. Other than that solid controls.

Hacker Café by sacredseedstudio 2016-12-29T21:40:00

The game has good graphics and sounds. I like the concept and the different options, though the goal wasn't very clear.

I also had a bit of a bug? I think. I sometimes couldn't click anything. Not sure why. But after clicking around randomly for a bit it worked again.

change the world by jake321 2016-12-29T21:10:00

Pretty good particle effect.

The 'attack' could have used more variability. It seemed just keeping S pressed was pretty much the best way to kill stuff.

Code Red by oultrox 2016-12-14T18:13:00

darn. this could be actually a game in steam...
I like. neat mechanics, visuals and music :)

Floor is Lava! by #gmdsgn 2016-12-14T19:21:00

damn I'm bad at this xD
I like how it looks though.

Shit Happens by vrojman 2016-12-14T18:37:00

yeeaah, glitched myself out of the game... ..can't "x" out either, but ESC works... also, control descriptions would haev been nice

wRoom by Boberro 2016-12-14T18:55:00

can't tell, because I'm not very good at driving games...but I had a tough time with the control

Toy Box Metropolis by SecondDimension 2016-12-19T09:56:00

Really well polished. Nice game with lots of stuff to do. A description on the stats of stuff before buying would've been handy, but there was enough room for experimentation.

NINJA ROOM by josemwarrior 2016-12-14T18:47:00

wasfun to play :)
not a comfortable way to exit the game though

What we carry with us by LandoSystems 2016-12-19T10:20:00

Very nice art and music. The difficulty seemed to go up and down a lot between levels, maybe due to randomisation?

Fear and Freedom by Andrew Deem 2016-12-19T09:36:00

Nice little story for a platformer. Getting the 3rd ending is rather challenging, fun.

Story in a Room by unnamed1334 2016-12-29T21:22:00

The story is interesting and the concept goes well with the theme, but there really wasn't any gameplay, I guess.

Hotel To Hell by shrapx 2016-12-29T21:29:00

I do think the graphics and sounds are pretty good. Interesting design.
But as most people from what I read I had trouble figuring out what exactly to do once I had the flashlight.

Falling Dungeon by PixelStuff 2016-12-30T12:00:00

Could definitely do with some sounds and a way to speed up the process maybe. Other than that a very fun entry.

Exam Simulator by nlbi21 2016-12-30T11:49:00

Oh hey, a game about my life.
Pretty well made and rather fun concept. Sometimes it's not entirely clear if the teacher can notice me or not, but I guess that's actually kinda realistic.

The Key by gironC 2016-12-14T19:02:00

neat idea

36523 by Zerotonin 2016-12-19T09:19:00

A really interesting entry. Very good visuals and sounds, but I couldn't figure out if there is an end of some kind to it.
