LD26 — Minimalism

Adventures !inColour by IonProgramming 2013-04-29T09:16:00

Sorry about that, I've fixed that bug now. Thanks for letting me know.

Adventures !inColour by IonProgramming 2013-04-30T00:37:00

Sorry about that raincole, Are you using Java 7 (macs have 6) because the entity management uses something specific to 7.

LD27 — 10 Seconds

The Compass by IonProgramming 2013-08-29T07:14:00

Not sure there, it appears to be an issue relating to JavaFX (used for sound). It appears as though Linux is not recognising the included library, I'll take a look into it and look for a fix...

In the mean time, see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14009066/javafx-error-on-ubuntu-while-using-netbeans

The Compass by IonProgramming 2013-08-30T07:13:00

Hmm, seems to be a few bugs there... As for screen size, sorry about that... I will fix that in a future release after the competition.

Acro, No actually, EVERYTHING was done during the competition, and we had a day less than everyone else :) some of those feature seem complex but really aren't, eg. the cave lighting is just a simple PNG with transparency drawn over the top, and the noise is just done with random numbers.

Thanks for all the feedback!

LD28 — You Only Get One

Volcano Explorer by Gabriel 2013-12-17T03:41:00

DL 404...

Charcoal by IonProgramming 2013-12-17T04:35:00

Nope, no web version. Planning to target web next time around. And these crashes are to to with some sort of memory leak in javafx (for sounds), Ill look into it and maybe fix it if I have time.

As for Win8, I'll take a look as to why that's happening...

Charcoal by IonProgramming 2013-12-17T04:42:00

Updating Java to the latest version (7u45) fixes issues on win 8 for me...

Charcoal by IonProgramming 2013-12-17T23:47:00

If it doesn't load, run the jar and make sure java is up to date, worked with that on my win 8 machine

The Only One by halemaster 2013-12-17T03:54:00

Worked until:

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Skyboy by IonProgramming 2014-04-29T06:39:00

If I find the time and motivation I will fix the physics so we can release a post-compo version.

Mine Story by donan 2014-05-02T08:55:00

Oh, that music... Wow! Really nice entry!

LD33 — You are the Monster

A troll's life by Paul Sinnett 2015-09-03T01:35:00

I love your take on the theme. I felt very sad knowing the fate of the poor troll...

Ectoplasm Isn't Everything by IonProgramming 2015-09-11T07:27:00

No end game. You're left to appreciate the atmosphere and quirky animal noises.

And thanks everyone for the amazing feedback!

Killer Librarian: Vengeance by chanko08 2015-08-27T02:18:00

Brilliant idea! A bit repetitive, but still fun.

Consumption by Aevek 2015-08-25T03:54:00

Couldn't do anything. Just walked around picking up rocks. Nice scenery though!

Robo Monster Hunt by faemir 2015-09-01T00:52:00

Ran at about 1fps on my laptop, so I'm not rating.
Specs: 1.5GHz Celeron, 4GB ram, Windows 10 (its not much, but it has been fine with every other game I've played)

Bloblivion by jackrugile 2015-09-01T07:25:00

Amazingly well polished! No complaints

Weregoat by bakpakin 2015-08-27T02:24:00

Amazing game! Only thing I'd like is faster movement...

Urd Monster by abcdef65g 2015-09-03T05:56:00

I got stuck trying to get through the hole I punched in the wall... Looks nice though.

Archaeologist Invasion by Ixeno 2015-09-03T00:57:00

Audio would have improved the experience, but still a great game!

Monstering Monsters by NickMakesGames 2015-09-08T03:57:00

Funny, but quite difficult. Well done!

Steve and Clomo by DrPrettyPatty 2015-08-25T03:05:00

72 hours wasn't enough for a game like this, very cool idea but still needs work
the game kept on glitching out and things weren't showing up.

Forest by Frozen Ninja 2015-09-01T00:28:00

Was the music supposed to start when you finish? I liked it, although it felt a bit silent through the first run. I really like how you trick the user into being a monster. Movement felt a bit weird. At times it seemed like I teleported though walls or something...? Anyway, nice job!

Flash Gorman by JNT 2015-09-01T01:05:00

Amusing idea. Some audio would have been nice.

Swarm Lord by Ptolo 2015-09-01T00:41:00

Difficult, but fun. The music was very peaceful...

YOU ARE THE TRUCK by foodzilla 2015-09-03T03:06:00

Good starting point if you're looking to continue it. I like your take on the theme.

Forest Monster by Geckoo1337 2015-08-27T04:07:00

Movement felt a bit weird, but otherwise very nice!

Deep in the Dark by Crocanti de Pollo 2015-09-01T00:19:00

I felt very lost, and at one point I hid in a bush, then the camera seemed to drift to the side a bit. Then I couldn't do anything, and had to exit the game. The atmosphere felt perfect though, and I liked the graphic style. Well done!

Crypt of the Minotaur by excaliburjs 2015-08-27T05:05:00

Well polished and good fun!

yummy, tasty humans by undef 2015-09-01T00:33:00

Well made and very funny! Its refreshing to see a different style of graphics.

Monster Simulator? by retrogradeorbit 2015-09-01T01:10:00

I like the up-beat feel of the game.

Skulldor - The Burninator by davidcmcdonald 2015-09-01T07:00:00

It felt a bit difficult to control the skull, but still fun. Nice music too!

Monster or Costume by fodinabor 2015-09-01T06:53:00

Really like the use of a pathfinding algorithm. I know how much of a pain that can be, but you pulled it off!

Where My Eggs At!? by Kassimkot 2015-09-03T05:48:00

Very difficult...

You are the Monsieur by GhostBomb 2015-09-01T07:33:00

Very fun game! Nice graphics, and funny idea. The croissants were difficult to master, but a nice twist. Not sure how you are the monster though...

Monster Factory by tMalicet 2015-08-25T03:13:00

Cool idea but needed more work

A.I's Labyrinth by Zephyrstryke 2015-09-01T07:20:00

Nice idea, but without your explanation I wouldn't understand how it fits the theme. The maze was VERY confusing (I guess that's a good thing). Largest download for any LD game I've ever played (NOT a good thing). I love the music, but I'm assuming you didn't make that, as you've removed the audio rating.

Dragon Defense by Serch 2015-09-03T05:42:00

Audio would have completed it, but still a great effort!

Bounce to Win by Juin 2015-09-10T00:05:00

Great fun! The music is pretty catchy too...

Lardum by Grahhhhh 2015-09-03T02:46:00

Really well polished, and fun! Cool idea too! Can't say I've played a game like that before! Nice work!
Secret ending was well worth it!

Ghosts by Roboboy 2015-09-03T00:41:00

It felt very slow, but still fun. I like the voice-overs!

Omnom Children by shelleyl 2015-08-27T03:59:00

The monster didn't appear when I restarted after the first run. Had to reopen the game. Apart from that, very amusing!

Ally's Funhouse by SheepFromHeaven 2015-08-25T07:21:00

Awesome art! cool game

Annoyed Mummy by Obvious_San 2015-09-03T00:50:00

Nice graphics, fun game play, and a neat idea! Good work!

Pixel Corruption by TerinHD 2015-08-27T05:17:00

Movement was a bit fast for my liking, but nice idea.

WEAKER BOWSER BROS by JHM 2015-08-25T03:47:00

"Sorry, Chrome can't run this app"

Slime Hunter by Ardy 2015-09-03T06:09:00

I loved this game! Really fun, and that's always a challenge. Great work, especially given that its your first game!

Eurthamon by ursagames 2015-09-10T00:25:00

I didn't sign up for these feels! But brilliant game!

Defense of the ancient treasure - An stealth RTS by Jacktheviper 2015-09-03T06:40:00

Wow! Thus is fantastic! I'm terrible at these types of games, but still... Brilliant!

Monster Tinder by Monkokio 2015-08-25T03:17:00

Cool idea I guess
theres not much more you can do it got boring after a couple of minutes but it was pretty funnny

The Catcher Van by refreshgames 2015-09-03T01:07:00

Brilliant game! Great fun, and funny voices. Simple graphic style, but it really worked! One issue- did the camera have physics? Because a guy somehow ended up on my van and bumped the camera out of place, making it unplayable.

KaijuKrush by Sparrow 2015-08-25T02:44:00

Very Cute game i loved the art it made me want to play more
it would be good if it had more levels or more difficult levels but it was a very good game considering the amount of time you had :)

LD35 — Shapeshift

Shape Lifter by IonProgramming 2016-04-22T05:03:00

Arvydas, you literally shift shapes across the level. That's our take on the theme.

Forest Spirit by mokujin 2016-04-21T07:58:00

Very interesting and effective mechanic.

The cat of two worlds by Thijs Tak 2016-04-21T08:44:00

I somehow got out of the area where the enemy (Goloth?) was, and couldn't get back in...

Basebird by dvdfu 2016-04-19T04:07:00

I became lost after missing the first couple of feathers, so I had to restart the game. Went perfectly second time though. A very relaxing experience.

Battle Shape by stormouse 2016-04-28T12:08:00

Not sure if it was just me, but I had a lot of trouble clicking properly. Most of the time the clicks did nothing...
Still, not a bad game at all! Great work!

Shape Master by B0pt1K 2016-04-19T10:31:00

It seems like you didn't finish the game... I couldn't work out how to kill the shapes, so it was simply a matter of waiting to be killed... Nice menu though, and nice graphics.

Caterfly by jdbg91 2016-04-21T08:52:00

The platforms were sometimes very hard to see, so it was difficult to win until I had learnt the path through trial and error. Still, not bad at all! More levels would be nice, but you have proven the concept. Well done!

Cataway by justacookie 2016-04-27T13:22:00

Good fun game with a simple yet interesting mechanic. Great work! Audio would be nice though.

Walker by Yetikatt 2016-04-20T09:26:00

Amazing entry! Very enjoyable, great mood, thanks to the music and nice graphical style. The controls were a little awkward, but overall very impressive!

Inner Maze by Uson Chen 2016-04-19T10:50:00

Found myself stuck after a while, as the physics system decided to misbehave. Very interesting idea though, and great mood.

Meander by batmagus 2016-04-19T11:10:00

With some music, this would have been beautiful. Still, nicely done. The twist was smoothly executed.

Spirits of the Forest by Divitos 2016-04-21T08:26:00

Great game, very fun, very difficult, great mood (thanks to the music), and a well designed world.

LD37 — One room

Relic Chamber by Andrea 2016-12-18T22:59:00

The controls were a bit glitchy. They all worked, but whenever I pressed the 'up' arrow, the page scrolled...
Neat graphics! Solid entry all together. Well done!

LD46 — Keep it alive

Zany Zoo by TBaudon 2020-04-21T10:02:41Z

Very cute graphics and a nice simple core mechanic. My only issue was that I didn't notice the new animals when they arrived. Great work!

Friday at Barney's by AnaGF 2020-04-21T10:51:42Z

A well executed take on a classic. Was a lot of fun to play, well done

Unicorn by JacksGamesSucks 2020-04-23T02:24:43Z

I found the unicorn! Nice little game. Your kids should be proud (and you too!).

Creature Goes To Life by Ommadawn 2020-04-21T11:24:43Z

Brilliant, I love it! Things got intense once I turned on the machines! With some improved graphics this could be absolutely amazing.

Headbutt by waynetron 2020-04-22T02:49:11Z

Really fun game! It felt pretty difficult though. I think maybe if the terrain started off a bit flatter it might be better.

Fishing Around by TheGameGoyal 2020-04-23T01:40:21Z

What are you feeding those fish!? Great game!

Dziob! by ryjcio 2020-04-22T03:00:17Z

I liked pecking the farmer.

Keepin' up with the Sams by chispaLBC 2020-04-21T12:03:46Z

It felt a bit unrefined, but I can see where this was headed. Nice work.

a new life by Angela He 2020-04-21T10:17:41Z

Really pretty game. well done

The Lamp Man by Jakub Panek 2020-04-21T08:37:13Z

Love the game. Such a nice atmosphere and a really nice mechanic. I would certainly enjoy a published version of this!

Isle of Light by Lexi89 2020-04-21T09:22:00Z

Lovely little atmosphere. Nicely executed game :)

Super Stick Party by Nehvis 2020-04-21T08:49:43Z

Well done on a nicely executed idea. It was very fun to play and try to keep up with everything happening

BLOOM ETERNAL by samboyer276 2020-04-21T12:13:45Z

The Audio was quite crunchy. I think the camera focus needs to shift toward the enemies when a new wave arrives.

Corposprint by SaRNEh 2020-04-21T07:58:37Z

I enjoyed your description and instructions, controls could have been a bit smoother but overall a nice and simple game to play :)

Party Pooper by kookiedough 2020-04-22T03:08:19Z

That's a lot of people in one bathroom... Fun game, and great idea!

Robotanic Mayhem by Rodrysson 2020-04-21T12:28:04Z

Cool game!

Gloubik by Bryoche 2020-04-21T09:41:56Z

Not sure on the language in the beginning? French? Worked out my way through the game and had an enjoyable time playing it. Well done!

City Soundscapes by Firesplash Entertainment 2020-04-22T05:08:15Z

Sounded like all the fighting sound effects were coming from one point, as it would get really loud with the camera all the way at the bottom.

Hatching Dragons by honey 2020-04-21T11:34:48Z

Nice! It was a bit hard to aim though. Cursor aiming would have felt better.

Keep it afloat! by Maka 2020-04-21T10:19:37Z

Started off going "What...?" and finished off with a grin on my face! The tutorial just felt a bit disconnected from the gameplay, so it took a minute to work out. Well done!

Miss Tommybird the Protector by frenzyasii 2020-04-22T04:03:50Z

I felt bad about my inability to fly properly... Until I noticed enemy birds tumbling along the ground and falling off the world. Maybe there's some simpler control setup that might work for this?

Short Dark by Préda 2020-04-22T05:29:44Z

I couldn't work out how to cook the fish... Also, pressing space seems to drop the item you're holding. Might be worth mentioning in the controls? Very nice atmosphere and graphics though, great work!

Keep IT Alive by edgelord 2020-04-21T09:46:15Z

I just tried to play. Jarfile runs but displays blank page with FPS? kia.PNG

Let It Burn by lootgrounds 2020-04-22T07:56:59Z

Great graphics! There's a sick sort of beauty in watching the burning silhouettes of teddy bears...

Mouse Trap by monetai 2020-04-21T11:30:58Z

Awesomely done. Love the Level designs and graphics. Looks like you've put a lot of effort into the finer details which is nice. Love it!

Porco Grosso by mirsakka 2020-04-21T10:37:53Z

Fun game, controls felt a bit strange (as in hard to use), but still very enjoyable to play. Physics simulation of the crumble must be very resource heavy. Big tower ground my PC to a few frames per second. Still a very fun entry though.

Egg Drop by Bob174 2020-04-22T06:03:26Z

Fantastic entry! Neither of us could get ahead enough to win though. (Still let one of us win, just to see the fireworks)

Floppy Solutions Inc. by Sisyphean Games 2020-04-22T05:45:07Z

What a hectic game! loved the variety of puzzles

Manifest Destiny by SaltFactory Studio 2020-04-23T02:00:16Z

Felt like my allies never came close to dying, unlike me. Got to the end though! Nice work.

Turn The Party On by Hiro Tanima 2020-04-21T11:53:42Z

Very cool! Loved the dancing.

Techno Oink by Washington Irving 2020-04-22T04:35:49Z

Techno Oink made me angry, but I loved it!

Heart Attack 万箭穿心 by Lunch 2020-04-21T10:40:24Z

Like others, I didn't understand the space bar control. Overall nicely done! That menu looked and felt very good too!

Elnelis by Rodi 2020-04-22T04:52:12Z

I think the difficulty starts off too high. Besides that, nice work!

StarMart by LadislavOdstrcil 2020-04-23T02:37:19Z

Those bright graphics really pop! Who knew converting humans into power cells could be so rewarding.

Headquarters by SilentMrDave 2020-04-21T11:12:08Z

A good effort. As I built my army the game did become unstable and laggy to the point of not working too well. But up till then I had fun playing.

A Walk In The Park by ion-programming 2020-04-21T07:48:11Z

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone!

A Walk In The Park by ion-programming 2020-04-21T11:34:09Z

Thank you everyone for the feedback! We're loving getting to play all your games

A Walk In The Park by ion-programming 2020-04-22T02:37:55Z

Thanks everyone! You're so kind. Just a little hint regarding food, check the BBQs under the shelters. We planned to add more items around the place but ran out of time.

A Walk In The Park by ion-programming 2020-04-23T01:32:04Z

Thank you all! @krakadushka Yes, the camera rotation uses slerp. Its actually just a slightly modified version of something from the Unity Standard Assets.

A Walk In The Park by ion-programming 2020-04-24T01:37:38Z

@zaiuspanda We really wanted to let you draw the face, but unfortunately that took low priority...

Probably the worst game in this event, but I'm still so proud that I finished it by ThatSoloDev 2020-04-21T13:11:52Z

Well, It's certainly not the worst game in the event that's for sure. I quite enjoyed it, was very difficult though, maybe I'm not quick enough on the mouse. Anyway, well done and congratulations on your first Jam.

70s Strut Simulator by adamson-dev 2020-04-21T11:43:07Z

Laid back... I like it.

Flower: The Game by Tolo 2020-04-21T11:06:14Z

Solid idea. Very difficult to play though. I think the timing of the flowers dying needs to be randomised a bit so that they don't all die at the same time.

Keep The Night Short by AlexandrosKap 2020-04-24T06:58:08Z

Loved the pixel art with the monochrome palette, Well done.

Save Dave! by DogMan789 2020-04-21T11:01:43Z

A nice platformer. Would have liked it if the player had some momentum which would have made the jumping between platforms a little more challenging. All in all, well done!

Lunar Eden by Jacob Green 2020-04-21T11:58:11Z

A nice game, but I feel the water and light was deteriorating too quickly, I struggled to keep going for any amount of time

Careful Defense by tsombi100 2020-04-23T02:11:06Z

Very cool! It felt like the towers should have changed targets more often, rather than the poor guy they initially target.

DirectX Dorito Simulator by ImmortalityBH 2020-04-22T03:32:33Z

Well, that's 5 minutes of my life I will...

...forever cherish.

Keep it alive by robertino 2020-04-22T03:48:22Z

So relaxing. Especially when you work out that the animals can't hurt you.

Keep it alive by Meedoc 2020-04-21T12:26:30Z

I love a nice simple game. Well done

Marvelous Mr Egg by Yoan Allibert 2020-04-21T12:57:15Z

One of the best games I've seen so far! I really enjoyed playing this, great work.
