LD25 — You are the Villain

Keep our Dungeons EVIL by hadesfury 2012-12-27T19:19:00

pretty fantastic,incredible work considering the time frame. I think this has great potential. Thanks for the game.

Tinysoft 2 by wurstknifte 2012-12-23T18:08:00

hmm, not sure what I should type on the monitor in the slime room? any clues? Really cool take on the theme; guilt villain.

Parasite Quest by Hatscat 2012-12-27T20:22:00

good stuff here. I loved the sound and the theme is great too. A bit tricky to kill the white cells because when I aimed I just ran right into them.

Bad Puppy by csanyk 2012-12-31T19:14:00

fun on a bun, quite inspired really. Observant, every-puppy game.

Dance Man by MrEvilGuy 2012-12-29T04:56:00

that was incredible. Thanks so much, I never realised it but I always wanted to play this game.

Spread by mailman105 2012-12-27T22:02:00

the game has been closing whenever I touch the top edge of the screen while flaming making it pretty hard to win. Good work though.

The life of a Boss by Jiddo 2012-12-27T22:36:00

I liked this; effective sounds, great character descriptions, nice gameplay. good stuff.

Dragon Boss by Zanzlanz 2012-12-28T13:44:00

this is the first game I've played in a long time that made me feel nostalgic for NES games and not because of the graphics. Lots of games borrow from that era in a post-modern or ironic kind of way but with this game it hit me after a few minutes that it was the gameplay doing it; simple, confident and boss.

The Professionals by Brassawiking 2012-12-28T14:46:00

Hey, just to say I really like the look of this piece (graphically). Keep up the good work.

Code Thief by Zelen3d 2012-12-28T13:53:00

really strong start to something cool I think. Keep at it.

CYBERQUEEN by Porpentine 2012-12-24T02:45:00

nice, quite clever, well written, a bit masochistic but intelligently so. good work.

2012: Mayan Revenge by littleball 2012-12-20T13:53:00

I loved the whizzing about! Very fun mechanic alone. Simple and effective. Also the sound effects are pretty nice in a nostalgic kind of way.

The Shadow Inside Of Me by SaintHeiser 2012-12-20T13:36:00

nice looking game, great palate used and a pretty accomplished entry altogether. Good work.

Battleship Texas by Yngar 2012-12-22T02:49:00

Is Texas the villain? I really enjoyed your game, I especially liked the music. The end was great too. Smiles all round. Thanks for making it.

The Fall of Mr. Wily by StoneMonkeyStudios 2012-12-19T11:55:00

Late was great, I loved it, all the little graphical touches were sublime; stork splatter, pixel fires, evil hat. Loved it.

Evil Gnome's Revenge by Spelchan 2012-12-28T03:21:00

I quite like the slap-dash graphics but some of the images on the menu seemed a little blurred. I liked chasing the deer around and a goatee beard is pretty evil.

O TUTT'I CAVI LESI by Capro 2012-12-31T22:01:00

I couldn't get away from the angry devs. I like it when someone makes an effort with the graphics though.

Twisted Minion by Justin Kibbe 2012-12-20T13:44:00

There seemed to be something weird with the transfers, like I'd go through a "door" and reappear in the centre of a room. And that guy was unrelenting!

Little Death Adventure by blackmagic 2012-12-18T21:00:00

funky stuff, good work.

Consumption by VanMerwan 2012-12-27T22:16:00

haha, very good. Nice looking game with a message: touching goats can be hazardous. I know a number of games I've played this Ludum have omitted sound but, for me, it is an essential part of a game an really elevates the work.

Alien Rampage by ahnt 2012-12-19T21:57:00

I love the music, very cool. I found the game a bit tricky though and I think the space craft is a bit too vulnerable, That explosion graphic is great too.

Cat Licker by Just_delete_it 2012-12-28T21:08:00

My friend used to blow his nose on his cat...
................................................ ok, it was me.

Goombah! by johndb 2012-12-21T00:43:00

pretty funky I must admit. Really liked your take on the theme. I was a bit susceptible to death though,

Korruptor by Codexus 2012-12-28T13:20:00

woah, beautiful graphics and I thought the delay leading up to him throwing the guitar at an off-kilter angle added something to the gameplay. A few times he started spinning round in circles and I had to restart but that is probably my fault, also controls bla bla bla. Good-blinking-stuff.

Licence to play by Tavrox 2012-12-19T11:46:00

nice solid little game here, good work. Why did they turn into green bears? I liked it that they did.

Kill Kong by shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-18T22:12:00

Good-blinking-stuff there, I liked the red moon rising/ apocalypse now colour palate.

The Legacy by Swofl 2012-12-19T12:29:00

Hey, I liked this, the strength is the ambiguity of the narrative. What is the obelisk from where you come from? Where are you? What have you done? (rhetorical).

The villain's Rules ! by zimra 2012-12-22T03:23:00

I liked the learning process and am interested where this idea will go in future iterations (more levels and traps sounds very appealing).

Mitt Romney and the Case of the Sex Doll by jackspinoza 2012-12-18T23:54:00

If you press shift you can run.

Mitt Romney and the Case of the Sex Doll by jackspinoza 2012-12-24T00:59:00

thanks for the comments,
@goerp - I made the "music" with my strat and my synth and used tape distortion on my voice. So, almost real instruments. I used a script for the text and one for the menu, I spent too much time on the music and nonsense.

Mitt Romney and the Case of the Sex Doll by jackspinoza 2012-12-28T02:27:00

nice comments thanks.
I'm with you BlackBulletIV.

Mitt Romney and the Case of the Sex Doll by jackspinoza 2012-12-28T15:21:00

Haha, right Spelchan, in fact I think I'm trumped at almost every hurdle when it comes to the ratings, not just the "fun" aspect. Oh well...

Mitt Romney and the Case of the Sex Doll by jackspinoza 2013-01-02T05:42:00

@ csanyk: I think you're missing about 4 fifths of the game. Try exploring a tiny bit more - you can go in most doors.

Mitt Romney and the Case of the Sex Doll by jackspinoza 2013-01-02T23:59:00

...having said that, you aren't missing much.

60 Second Bad Boy by Ariake81 2012-12-28T12:52:00

I was rubbish at this, couldn't get past the second part but I tried the other levels in the practice mode. Great music though, like dubby atari music. I mean, I love the music a lot.

The Rise and Fall of Professor Moriarty by ProfessorMoriarty 2012-12-19T12:49:00

Well that was super, very strategic and I really got into it. Nice work.

The Little White Rabbit and the Goat Goatee by Cabral 2012-12-19T12:02:00

Cute names and was the little white rabbit omniscient? A little mastering on the voice recording would have taken away the backround fuzz/buzz but not to worry, it gave it a certain quality.

Age of Umpires by Tom 7 2012-12-26T22:28:00

pretty tight game, really reminiscent of days of yore. great audio.

MortVille by Overkill 2012-12-18T21:52:00

Had a classic kind of quality to it, good stuff. Gets quite hectic in a fun way. A little bit faster would have been nice.

Life Buster by AyCe 2012-12-22T03:39:00

I got two goats in a row! Take that smiley faces. Gets a bit tiresome with no real objective or end game but good stuff all the same. Nice audio.

Illegal Crime Game by angrygeometry 2012-12-18T23:30:00

pretty nice, reminiscent of Space Funeral, which is a good thing. I liked all the criming. Criming aint easy but it sure is fun.

The Hill by Strkl 2012-12-27T19:48:00

a bit Frankensteiny, enjoyed this. short and succinct. Also liked the fatalistic nature of this piece.

The Banker by qualia 2012-12-22T03:02:00

"kicking the habit", very good

MoonRise by LTyrosine 2012-12-19T22:51:00

pretty amazing what some folk can put together in three days. A well rendered map, an interesting mechanism. A few qualms but positive vibes from me. Good stuff.

Hat by N427 2012-12-31T19:02:00

My favourite game. Exactly the kind of mood I love. It has some very strong themes here too; that punitive systems are blind, that choices have repercussions and that we can't choose what we choose to choose. I got a lot from this game. I liked it how the player couldn't read everything at times. bla bla bla, thanks very much.

Evil Robot of Doom Crushes Innocent Town due to Parliamentary Disagreement by Nik Sudan 2012-12-19T11:29:00

What a laugh! Great stuff. The voice is great as is the music and sounds in general.

Execution Chamber (Now a Jam entry) by Kaslai 2012-12-22T03:41:00

I loved it how there was thousands of folk lining up to be flung against a wall and/or shot. I juggled one guys head thrice, daddy would be proud. Very cool, well done and thank you.

The Day Before Monkeymass by Lashiz121 2012-12-27T20:02:00

something quite jarring about those floating, limbless chimps.

LD26 — Minimalism

TrackSurfer by fysx 2013-04-30T11:21:00

what a good idea, I feel the music could be amped up some and I think it might work a wee bit better in full screen but, having said that, I feel it's really accomplished. good stuff.

Composition with Yellow, Red, and Blue by DaveDobson 2013-04-29T23:42:00

great, this really worked for me. the sounds really complimented the gameplay (oh yeah) and the use of Mondrian really fit naturally into the game. good stuff.

... by Dir3kt 2013-05-01T19:11:00

brilliant, effective and understandable puzzles with innovative approaches.

People by BenW 2013-05-01T21:14:00

what a great game, this is what I like. It really effected me, ok so the message is a bit romantic and silly like that but it really worked for me. I'm going to share (the love) with my friends because it is such an optimistic thing. love love, wonderful.

Free* by Kortuga 2013-04-30T01:16:00

this really worked for me, of course I could see where it was going but as it came to pass it still effected me. really liked this.

climbing 208 feet up the ruin wall by Porpentine 2013-05-01T00:50:00

lots to like here, it really drew me in in a dream or fever kind of way. At one point I started genuinely fretting for my loot and wondering if I could hold on. I wonder if the writing could be tightened up though. The gorillas were a particular highlight for me, inspired. good stuff.

XYZ by ataxkt 2013-04-30T00:31:00

I loved this game so much, I wish it went on for even and I could just dip into it when I wanted. I found it really relaxing and enjoyed it lots. Thanks yo.

::.::::::. by rwos 2013-04-30T01:38:00

wow, nice work. The look of the game is very cool, especially the out of the game area effects. And the nice little touch at the end with the PNG is super.

Fragments of Him by Aceria 2013-05-11T22:07:00

fantastic! My favourite. Death is this weird thing and we all live in it's shadow but most have a latent awareness of death. It always perplexes me as to why people don't talk about death all of the time and why all media isn't about death. I love this game. I love this chance to be alive. Thank you so much Aceria.

Huoheian by folmerkelly 2013-04-30T10:39:00

nice one! good, classic feel to it. Looks great, borrowing affectionately from similar games but in a way that is a assuring. thanks for this.

Mondritron: 2026 by Dotanukii 2013-04-30T00:18:00

pretty darn tricky, I liked the music and the colour opposites thing. good work

dotLife by ddionisio 2013-04-30T01:46:00

pretty incredible work for two days, good going. I mean, it looks fantastic, even the way the shapes move and form. loved it but got a bit stuck on the claw.

Potato or Big Minta Bronson: A Vegetable Love Story by Just_delete_it 2013-04-30T11:27:00

funny fun, loved the potato licking animation and the music was banging. good stuff man.

Somsnosa by Mase 2013-05-01T23:57:00

impressive work for three days, well done. the battles felt a little misplaced, however, only because I'd be perfectly happy just strolling about the funny world. Some very cool sprites. great stuff.

Mammoth by jackspinoza 2013-04-29T23:56:00

haha, I probably would've quit way before that.

Mammoth by jackspinoza 2013-05-02T11:38:00

fun comments, thanks
@ mase & yinbar, ten points for calling a spade a spade, have a biscuit!
Anyone want to buy a watch? Also I can get you a dog if you want, just say, I have "friends".

Mammoth by jackspinoza 2013-05-04T00:52:00

some of it wasn't filmed during the jam (the sea spitting, table dance, snow scenes) but I came into possession of it during (I asked my friends if they had some stock footage of performances they could send me). I'm obviously not in it to win it, just wanted to make something and share it. If it bothers anyone I'm more than happy to get it removed.

Minimalism : Find the red Cube by Martin_Monosys 2013-05-04T20:05:00

I made a poem about your game:
"dark, light, music, red, fall, again, get, dark, light? fall, level 5"
Good stuff, concise and unnerving.

Go To Work (a Point and Click game) by TheColorMan 2013-04-29T23:55:00

woo, had a kind of 1984 feel to it. The controls were really weird and not very intuitive. I liked finding the potato.

Tower of Pixel by AlanZucconi 2013-04-30T11:59:00

nice stuff, I wonder how high I can tower. Quite relaxing in a funny sort of way. I love this type of casual game actually, must dip into it again. Thank you

BatWorld by Farjuan 2013-04-29T23:04:00

nice idea, great implementation of sounds too. I love jarring sounds like this. And the human voices worked well.

Self by sittaman 2013-04-30T00:58:00

pretty massive tune! it was a bit too easy I think and a bit sad when I lost but great to see a game about going against hte tides of conformity.

Telekinetic Minimalist Cult 5: Packrat Nightmare by RobotLovesKitty 2013-04-30T00:07:00

I loved how it looked and loved even more how it sounded. What a great concept for a game too. love love. great work.

the pretentious apple by Bluebutton 2013-05-01T20:28:00

nice work, looks very polished. I found it quite difficult sadly but I'm rubbish at this sort of thing. Albeit, good work.

Euphoria by IceCliff 2013-05-01T22:12:00

great interesting aesthetic, kind of drew me into the game-world, super big beast design. nice work.

one life by thatwhichis 2013-04-29T23:12:00

the old classic of daring someone not to press that button. I killed him a few times. good stuff.

Naked Shades by Lamia Queenz 2013-04-30T10:25:00

nice nice, I said "miaow" and "parp" into the void. nice economy of words, effective, solid.

Minimalism Textual Adventure by Skywilly 2013-04-30T10:46:00

Skywilly, great name! Funny game, it works in English really well, with the clever focus on short utterances. Made a nice rhythm to the work. many things I really liked here, good stuff.

Please Ignore The Dancing Llama by Zed 2013-04-30T19:33:00

funny fun, loved the intro and end cutscenes. I loved how the channel kept on changing, the first time it happened it really was a nice surprise. good stuff.

Controlled State by GameNacho 2013-04-30T02:04:00

quite interesting, I liked how bleak it was. Not sure if I should've found it so funny. great work.

Space Captant by Norgg 2013-05-01T23:03:00

what a fantastic game. Lets just get this straight: at last I can explore potato space as an ant! great work.

Minimalismism by tayl1r 2013-05-01T18:49:00

enjoyed this, concise, succinct and fun. Nice length that left me wanting more (totally interested if you make more). good work, thanks.

Spark by CNIAngel 2013-04-29T22:57:00

it certainly was minimal, the arpeggios and general sound really worked for me. However, I feel the format could be explored better somehow; pacing, more diverse changes perhaps.

Leaf Me Alone by Claw 2013-05-03T02:39:00

just incredible, one of the nicest games I've played. love love love. It sucked me in and gave me a cuddle. super. I'm going to share it with my little sisters and all my chums. Thanks for this game, so accomplished. 5/5 all over the place. great stuff.

Requiem by Nik Sudan 2013-04-29T23:26:00

great stuff, great animations and presentation. The music evolves nicely too. thumbs up.

Requiem by Nik Sudan 2013-04-30T00:08:00
