LD22 — Alone

Stand alone by AhNinniah 2011-12-20T03:19:00

Another Monkey dev! Great game :D I like the increased dodging speed as you approach collision. Really neat action. Or maybe that's just my system catching up.

Sokobot by kpullen 2011-12-19T16:14:00

Need to provide a download link there, buddy!

LD23 — Tiny World

Disregard All Humans by Fireblend 2012-04-27T18:10:00

Very well done all around. The visuals are great. Destroying humans is always a plus :D

TINY LIZARD SWELL WORLD by racarate 2012-04-24T16:59:00

That is a small lizard.

Solar Sailor by vilya 2012-04-24T17:01:00

It's actually a fun little racer once you get used to the controls. Good job :D

Planet Master by Dakota 2012-04-24T16:27:00

5 Innovation stars for GBA game :D Needs explosions, then it will be AAA.

Petri by Tomalla 2012-04-27T18:46:00

I demand more levels!

World Saver! by Zythiku 2012-04-24T04:09:00

Good execution, but why is the world so small?

Something Movable by YSelf Tool 2012-04-27T17:52:00

Nice little puzzle platformer. And the GiDOS dialog is great :D

Hoperay by Shackhal 2012-04-26T23:06:00

Holy moles. That is madness! Figured out a good rhythm the second time around and was able to beat it :D Good job.

Killer the Ant by Ben 2012-04-26T22:19:00

Great job for you first game! Hope to see you at the next LD :D

Deity by Blake 2012-04-27T02:15:00

Love it! The graphics are excellent.

Disastronaut by Jeffalisk 2012-04-24T17:48:00

Great name and good little game :D

Tiny Path by ccscanf 2012-04-24T16:32:00

I am the champion! Good little game :)

Quantum Entanglement by icefallgames 2012-04-27T01:59:00

Nice graphic effects and concept. Not sure how it fits the theme, but whatever!

Endless Siege by flaxenflash 2012-04-26T22:21:00

Nice idea, and great style. Could really use some sounds, tho. Overall great job for your first LD! :)

Tondie and Zupe by Cosmologicon 2012-04-24T04:04:00

This is very well done! Excellent work on the little details like animations, and camera control. Ya! JUMPY!

When Worlds Collide by AlwaysGeeky 2012-04-27T17:15:00

Not much to it as far as game play, but I love the voxel work. Nice job :)

The Tiny Gryphalope by bytegrove 2012-04-24T04:44:00

The name alone gets five stars from me in nearly every category.

Itty-bitty botty by royvanrijn 2012-04-24T18:12:00

I am an expensive date.

Conquer Pico Worlds by Zaxuhe 2012-04-27T17:34:00

Nice job :) It's hard not to get carried away and KILL ALL THE ALIENS

Les Petites Bombes by jgalecki 2012-04-27T17:38:00

Very fun! The control scheme was easy to get the hang of and the levels had the right amount of challenge to them.

Steel by Lupinius 2012-04-26T23:22:00

Love the concept and the design of the levels. The way everything moves is ace, too! Also, I found your secret kitten :D 5 STARS FOR THAT

Predicament by orangepascal 2012-04-27T19:05:00

Omg, it's the cutest game I've ever seeeeen

Tiny Worlds by Lidfrid 2012-04-22T15:45:00

Great game! The music is awesome :D

Dead Run by Kortuga 2012-04-27T17:46:00

Nice job. Love the graphics. Did you make the music? It's really well done.

ZUNZANDA by SonnyBone 2012-04-27T18:02:00

+10000 for voice acting!

Planet Life by Sos 2012-04-27T02:43:00

Bootman.

My Little Planet by NateNaterson 2012-04-24T17:11:00

Love the style!

Rudolph the JUMPING SPIDER by zdanielz 2012-04-27T17:57:00

Love the music and the interpretation of the theme. Things were going well until the fly kept flying off the screen :P

Big Space Tiny Man by invaderJim 2012-04-23T16:49:00

Thanks for the kind words, my good man. Unfortunately, you are stuck on that little world forever, for there is no end :(

This is what happens when I wait until the last hour to code the actual mechanics of the game.

Penguin by asfdfdfd 2012-04-27T18:55:00

Came for the penguin. Stayed for the upgrades.

Pro Stew Chugger by Tourgen 2012-04-24T04:32:00

Mt favorite part is making the purple dudes dance to the beat by going in and out of doors repeatedly.

Creature Collect by moop 2012-04-27T18:40:00

Love the graphic style, and it's a funny idea. Controls take some getting used to.

I Heart Ludum Dare by Kayamon 2012-04-27T18:17:00

Excellent job on the ending :)

BamSquitch by Valeour 2012-04-24T18:38:00

Nifty little game! Good job on putting a solid puzzler together.

Interplanetary Sumo by Milo 2012-04-27T18:51:00

Simple mechanic, but actually quite fun! Great job :)

Planet Waves by attagcatc 2012-04-27T01:39:00

Kudos for thinking outside the box! It does feel a little too random in its current state, but it's a good base for a unique game mechanic. Keep developing it!

This Town (ABEFTTOU) by ThatSnail 2012-04-27T01:46:00

Love the graphic style. And I can't argue with throwing dead babies.

Tiny Space by Jan Willem 2012-04-27T19:00:00

A really good start! I would have picked some different sounds, though. The explosion sound hurts me ears

Urth Defense by kylerhoades 2012-04-27T19:10:00

It's so tiny and genius!

A dogfight above a small world (2 player 1 keyboard) by pireninjacolass 2012-04-27T18:58:00

Nice particle effects, and the best music I've heard yet!

Shrunkit by MagnesiumNinja 2012-04-27T02:07:00

Very cool game. One of the best ones I've rated so far :) Don't know how you found time to come up with all the levels!

van Leeuwenhoek by Johnicholas 2012-04-27T02:10:00

You blinded me with science.

Tiny Oblique World by headchant 2012-04-27T02:18:00

Fantastic idea. I made extensive use of "make love." Incidentally, there was genocide.

Moon Base by morganquirk 2012-04-26T23:11:00

Easily my favorite gave of the compo! The gameplay, graphics, and sound design all came together for you. Great job :D

These are your Friends by Farfin 2012-04-24T04:29:00

So you don't give your friends to the birds??

Love the mechanic and the art! Well done!

Wulcan by leafo 2012-04-24T03:29:00

Very well done! I could feel my world getting tiny-er. Then I realized what the purple goo does.

Poor Pluto's Revenge by DavidErosa 2012-04-26T23:17:00

Loved it! Killed the last three with only 10 life remaining. Was intense :D

Virus Wars by Ingon 2012-04-27T02:28:00

Interesting idea. Wasn't able to move, but didn't need to. Good little game :)

Path O' Invasion by ratboy2713 2012-04-27T02:25:00

Nice game! Love the victory and defeat screens :D

Burger Defender by Beerman 2012-04-27T02:30:00

Who would have thought that the only way to save my burger would be with carrockets.

River Runner by omaha 2012-04-24T04:16:00

Cubetastic!

Shoot Dem Asteroids by Darkcoder 2012-04-24T04:38:00

I agree with everyone else that the controls take some getting used to, but the graphics and camera movement are really nice! Also, I would have liked to have been able to destroy the planet myself.

And I think the world could have been a little bigger.

Predominantly Tiny World by Graham Weldon 2012-04-27T17:26:00

Graphics are excellent. Bouncing myself into a wicked orbit was very enjoyable. My only gripe is that the slow speed of the bullets combined with my ridiculous orbitous speed made it so I could not hit anything. Although, the planet explosion was pretty awesome.

All That Are Lost Will Be Found by R3ason 2012-04-24T03:17:00

Frightening. In a good way.

Slime Buster Micro by brenthamel 2012-04-27T01:53:00

Wow! Pretty nice for a 48 hour game. I wasn't able to collect any of the slimes tho :( It made the sound, but that was it.

Flyght by yosh 2012-04-24T17:05:00

5 stars for kitten clouds!

Little Locations by Nolan C 2012-04-24T17:50:00

Slick little platformer you got there.

Tiny Defenders by Raptor85 2012-04-27T17:11:00

Very well done little defender game! Plus, love the tool-tips, which are always welcome in LD games :D

No Space by Steven Colling 2012-04-26T22:28:00

Really nice job. Love the concept and the ship interactions. Took me a while to figure out my mouse wasn't working, because I had my xbox controller plugged in :P Works great with the controller though.

Scavenger by debarraGaming 2012-04-27T19:09:00

GOT THE BANANA!!1

Love the music. This is the second fruit-collecting feet-ant-stomping game I've played. You must have caught whenever was going around

Puny Planet by Sichuan 2012-04-26T22:55:00

Neither the Web nor the Windows versions are starting when I press space :(

Zombie Fish by Ethanh59 2012-04-27T17:28:00

Nice idea! Couldn't catch the fish to save my life. Luckily, there was no death.

The Tower of the Four Winds by andyrofl 2012-04-24T18:14:00

I WON! Not too bad for your first! One thing is that for some reason on the second page of each level, you could hold jump and float.

Tinius Worldifica by Cryptix 2012-04-24T18:23:00

Great little puzzle game! Great job on the simple graphics and moody tune :D

Project Peace by ghRibacki 2012-04-27T03:05:00

Sometimes it's about creating the experience, amiright?? Nice job on the graphics and funny dialog :D

Moonmen: Journey to the Giant World by Daisuke909 2012-04-27T17:21:00

Nice job! I was almost at 100 when I got pushed off the bottom-right corner of the screen on the Dino boss. It was very sad :(

Pixel Progression by pighead10 2012-04-27T17:54:00

Controls took some getting used to, but overall a nice concept. Good job :)

Rockland by Jeroenimoo0 2012-04-27T03:10:00

I love the graphics and the motion of it all. Never wanted to make a phone call more in my life!

Rat Conquest by Canard Sauvage 2012-04-27T17:31:00

+1,000,000 for Kittens.

Nibbles by NefariousZhen 2012-04-27T01:43:00

Good choice going with the fog. Makes me feel extra tiny :)

LD26 — Minimalism

Fight The Minimalism by Cyboot 2013-04-29T21:27:00

You've got a future in puzzle games. And any kind of games. Keep it up!

Stranded by vico87 2013-04-29T19:56:00

Writing a text adventure engine in two days is no joke! And the quality of the text is just fine :D Only issues I had were with the text-wrapping, which really isn't that terrible of a problem, and it also crashed when I tried to take Jen :( Great job!

Tamborine Man by Markavian 2013-04-29T23:44:00

Love the artwork! Couldn't help but make a mess of the place, sorry :(

Pilot & Command by HeyChinaski 2013-04-29T21:47:00

This is really cool. You should have more ratings!

Less is more by McBeef 2013-04-29T20:17:00

Interesting take on the theme. The graphical deterioration gets the message across pretty well. A little music would've helped knock a few more stars out of me, particularly in the Mood category :)

Love Connection by Jon Reid 2013-04-29T20:39:00

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

Planes by phaze0 2013-05-01T03:36:00

This is great! I demand an android/iOS port, and then I demand more games from you in this style. Get to work! ;D

Cyan by graytest 2013-04-29T19:33:00

Love the visual style and the gameplay. Overall great job :D

One Life by unclechristmas 2013-04-29T18:47:00

Fits the theme pretty well. I like it :D

Triangle Force by HeiShun 2013-04-29T20:46:00

The music is epic and the action is frantic. Great job!

MULTIVAC by Nikteddy92 2013-04-29T17:59:00

Killer music! Pressing enter advances the conversation a little too quickly, so I was having some trouble there.

Anthead RPG by Peter 2013-05-01T02:53:00

Playing this game made me feel like I could carry 50 times my body weight in pixels.

Pixel Storm by Spanfile 2013-04-29T18:51:00

Took me a while to figure out that you can kick the little things, which I can only assume are potatoes. Great job though. Fits the theme perfectly!

RedShot by Jellycakes 2013-05-01T03:28:00

Love the idea and effect of the room. Would like to see those other challenges!

SpeedJumper ! by Nakato 2013-04-29T18:11:00

Tough game. Love the visual style.

Shoodir by ryebread761 2013-04-29T18:21:00

+1000 for epic potato.

Shoodir by ryebread761 2013-04-29T18:22:00

Great job. Starts out simple then gets tough quick.

U by KEFIR 2013-04-29T17:51:00

Ahhhh square gore! Love it! Getting squished on purpose :D

Convulx by Griz 2013-04-29T15:50:00

Great job! Love the graphicals.

Minirena by Sh1rogane 2013-04-29T18:42:00

Haha, 2000 is about my max. I really want to see the little thing at 5400!

XYZ by ataxkt 2013-05-01T03:57:00

Excellent work on this one. Love the visual style and the mood you've created. Congrats on your first LD completion!

Distradiction by shines 2013-05-01T14:15:00

Nice and clean. Now that we're all master distraction eliminators the next LD should be AMAZING!

Escape the minimalism! by se1by 2013-05-01T03:00:00

I escaped the minimalism!

Trial and Error by Stiju 2013-04-29T15:17:00

You didn't tell us about the red ones! Needs more levels!! Needs nightmare mode where the map resets on each death!!! Great job!!!!

Union by theplotlessplot 2013-05-01T02:48:00

You need to keep making games and never stop.

RPG by jcvsmc 2013-04-29T18:54:00

Love it! An RPG you can just jump right into and start playing. Good job :D

Darkness by Liikeaturtle 2013-04-29T21:34:00

I agree with the others that the controls are a little tough to get used to, but you've got the workings of a minimalized dungeon here. Hope you had fun making it :D Keep at it!

.claustrophobia. by peggiosoft 2013-04-29T21:52:00

Not bad for your second LD. Keep it going, I want to see what else you have up your sleeves!

Minimalism : Find the red Cube by Martin_Monosys 2013-05-08T22:30:00

I like it. Fits the theme well and the music is great :D Good job!

Solitary by PurpleMoustache 2013-04-29T21:01:00

Played it all the way through. You are a very talented story-teller :)

Bonk by tove 2013-05-01T03:10:00

Argghhh... 16 is my best. Love the concept on this one. Good job :D

The Sentient Cube by Omiya Games 2013-04-29T21:40:00

Best potato physics I've ever seen in a game.

Less than Shadows by Cosine 2013-04-29T19:23:00

Don't know if it's just my computer, but I sometimes experience extreme slow-down in the middle of a jump making things difficult. Interesting take on the theme, though!

PATCh by egos 2013-04-29T17:34:00

This game is hard! :( I will win... one of these days...

Comic Sans: The Game by FloatingGhost 2013-04-29T15:29:00

The total package.

Get The Potato by invaderJim 2013-04-29T18:00:00

All potatoes can be reached. Don't give up! ;D

Get The Potato by invaderJim 2013-04-29T18:24:00

It can be done. You just have to forget everything you know about everything then proceed to GET THE POTATOOOO

Get The Potato by invaderJim 2013-05-06T03:18:00

I am truly humbled by all of the kind things being said about this game. Although I don't think you all realize that you're saying these things about a game that involves getting a potato.

A postato-mortem is coming in which I'll go over all the audio goodies as far as recording and syncing with the light, so keep your eyes.. peeled!

As for those that are struggling with the first few levels, I REALLY want to help you out, you have no idea, but if I do I will violate the integrity of the game, as minimal instruction is partly how I interpreted the theme. Maybe I will put spoilers in the postato-mortem, I dunno... Thanks for playing the game, at any rate :D

I love you all! L-D-4-8-4-LYFE

Bounce by Elrobo 2013-05-01T02:32:00

Very well done! Cuteness overload!

Minimalist Dungeon Crawler by Cranky 2013-04-29T20:29:00

I love everything about this game, even when I had 9 slimes and 2 bats on the first room :D Great job!

Illumination by VespaNetwork 2013-04-29T17:49:00

Great job for your first LD! How do I unlock the lower door? I put the light on the thing!

Gallery by Andrew Shouldice 2013-04-29T21:16:00

Loved the 'R' level for shameful and obvious reasons :D Great job!

Babel by Merkoth 2013-04-29T16:03:00

I like the simple style. Controls are slightly awkward and if I click, I can't move anymore :(

Physix-Breaker by Kashi 2013-04-29T15:02:00

I like that it uses more realistic physics which makes it different. Good job!

WORDHUNTER by gerritg 2013-04-29T18:04:00

I like the style, and it feels good to play. Actually spelling a word is quite the task.

BLoX by ThirteenWB 2013-04-29T15:58:00

Great job. Procedural generation is always a good exercise :D Had some issue with transitioning between levels in the applet, but desktop version is fine.

You Must Escape by GertJohnny 2013-05-01T15:01:00

Really well done, all around. The audio, the mood, the fear. It's all there!

BASHLAND - Breakout Mario Mashup by McFunkypants 2013-04-29T23:35:00

Ripping through the house on the potato level is one of the most gratifying things I have ever experienced.

++Pet; by mushbuh 2013-04-29T18:58:00

Love the music. Also the poop :D

Too Much Loot! by CheesyRamen 2013-04-29T15:09:00

Pretty complex little puzzle mechanic creeping under the surface of this minimalist game :P Still fun, though. Great job!

Art: The Game by dylanaholcomb 2013-04-29T19:00:00

You have accomplished all.

Euphoria by IceCliff 2013-05-01T14:26:00

Well that was kind of a trip. You definitely have a knack for mood and tone. Good job!

Dream Fishing by Sophie Houlden 2013-04-29T21:43:00

I love everything about this.

Vectron's Revenge by Rutger Megahertz 2013-04-29T21:57:00

Really interesting visual style. Curious as to what your inspiration was for it. I also enjoyed that it was more slow-paced than your typical shooter.

Gardener in Minimalism Spring by tcstyle 2013-04-29T17:39:00

Don't know how I feel about potatoes being bad, but I likes!

Lazy Afternoon Adventures by Languard 2013-04-29T18:18:00

Love the concept. Keep going with it!

SeedLife by shawn42 2013-05-01T03:47:00

Very interesting concept, and incredibly relaxing. Good job :D

RogueOut by badlydrawnrod 2013-04-29T19:47:00

I've been rating games all day and this is my favorite one so far. I know the Breakout with items dropping thing has been done before, but this still seemed really clever to me. SFX and music are on point, too!

Reversnake by Username8978 2013-04-29T16:10:00

I don't care what anyone says, your decisions with this game (reverse snake, 45 degrees, and head/tail flipping) are spot on. Great job!

Timothy's Adventure by FenrisWolf 2013-04-29T17:27:00

Nothing like a good top-down shooter :D Good job. Only issue I had is sometimes the yellow border sticks around, causing a skippage of levels.

Less is More by FacticiusVir 2013-04-29T18:36:00

Resolution is too high for my laptop. Can only see the bottom 2/3 of the screen and can't move the window :( Will try from my desktop machine and rate later.
