LD17 — Islands (179)

I HATE ISLANDS by nitram_cero

The intro was RAD. Game was fun, too.

Baby Leviathan: Eat All Fishies by ExciteMike

Yeah, I dug the control mechanics. I agree with the person that said this would work very well in a more relaxed game.

Island Jumper by Xion

This was WAY fun. Hard as crap, but waaaaay fun.

Could've used some bassy, thumpin' music, though.

Rescue the Stranded! by Redbone

I kinda like this, but it needs... something.
I totally don't understand the disappearing islands, though. Time traveling, maybe?

Kill ALL the Pirates! from osgeld by Osgeld

I had the same problem as Fydo.

Islands At War by Srekel

I REALLY like this. Sounds and more of a challenge / more levels would make it pretty amazing. KEEP GOING!!!

Ganjisland by havchr

This was really glitchy in my broswer. Is the screen supposed to flash in a crazy manner to where I can't see what I'm doing? I'm guessing not...

Radio Silence by Terry

OOH. This fancy.
I liked it very much.

Rising Sea Levels by jsb

Not a game here, but your tech is ASTOUNDING.

The Lost Hebrides by NiallM

I LOOOOVE the music and the vibe. GREAT FRIGGIN' WORK!
The story progression and paths were just brilliant.

Island Skate Delivery Boy by mklee

This was fun while it lasted, but doesn't really make me want to play it over and over.

LOVE the title.

The Adventures of Archie Pegalo by rogual

WHOA MAN! I LOVE THIS GAME!
MY FAVE SO FAR!
SO WACKY! SO GOOOOOD!
SOOOOO SOOOO GOOOOOD!

1) Awesome music
2) Awesome lazer bears
3) Cool concept / story
4) Great 'boss fight'
5) LAZER BEARS!!!!!!

Sky Traders of Jupiter by Xopods

Great concept! Nice artwork, too. Not my type of game, but I totally respect what you were able to accomplish here.

Deep Under an Island by Sparky

Yeah, this has nothing to do with islands, but everything to do with NEAT-O. Some music, sounds, and a bit more challenge would make this pretty dang rad overall.

Nuclear Test by sf17k

Majorly funky. Uniqueness is rad.

Roach Route by shaktool

Yeah, too bad you didn't really nail the theme at all because the rest of this is really rad.

COOOOL IDEA!

Atollery by Cosine

I can't get it to do anything other than place a blob on an X. Nothing else does anything.

Arcipelago by 1009

eli's comment is... WIN.

This game is... STRANGE.

But that is... GOOD.

ChickenPost! by pythong

It got impossible REALLY fast. lol
Fun concept and nifty music. I dig the sprites!

Ascention by kd5bjo

Cool idea. I made it pretty far but got stuck.
This doesn't have much to do with islands and it's SUPER SIMPLE, but it was still pretty fun.

Stranded! by InaVegt

Won't work on my end.

:(

Treasure Tub by Jonny D

Man, this is pretty hard. It's possible, but challenging. Great innovation with the graphics, too. Nice work!

Intercontinental Drift by hamburger

Music is NERVE WRACKING, but the game is fun and unique... if not REALLY REALLY HARD.

I LIKE IT!

tailspin by greencow

Way too hard and I didn't see any dancing bears anywhere.

Island Hopping by shawn42

Only two people to save in the entire game? Did something malfunction on my end? I didn't realize that the people were even people. I was tossing them into the volcano thinking they were gas tanks or something.

The song is... oddly nifty.

Whales of Aelia by PsySal

This was pretty RAD. I eventually got the idea, but went on forever and ever without ever finding the 'end'.

:(

I dig the music and SFX. Artwork and tech blend together nicely. GOOD WORK!

Space Island by mathias

Yeah, I'd also like to see some more work on this one.

Island Defence by 3ndo

Oh wow. I took like 3 centuries for the next plane to show up. I thought I broke it.

This doesn't really suit the theme well and it needs audio badly.

Zombie Grinder by demonpants

Had that total CRASH AND THE BOYS vibe for me.
Nice SFX and music!

I dig the WAVE OF ZOMBIE DEATH chasing you.

Isles of Color by Jonathan Whiting

Your journal was really good.
I had fun with this game, but it's not something I could play for a lengthy period.

Hockey Island by crackerblocks

OH MY! Yet again you deliver with the greatness. This is technically SOUND. It works, and it works well. The fact that it's FUN and super UNIQUE is just icing on the cake.

Australia is so friggin' fat, he just keeps batting the puck back into his own ... er ... continental ass crack?

EITHER WAY...

YOU WIN!

X by Allefant by allefant

Hard to control at first, but I got the hang of it.

Simulacrum by Comtemno

Whoa, this moves SUPER FAST. A little too fast, IMO. I dig the vibe, though.

islands by increpare

I came. I saw. I rowed really slowly into the darkness.

Paradise Fort by Hempuli

OH SO VERY RAD. You know it is. I don't have to tell you. Can't wait for your post compo version.

NoNameIsland by Sébastien Bernery

NO LINKY WORKY

Isle of the Firepiss by dertom

What was I? Some sort of chainsaw sculpture?
And I agree that the controls are a bit awkward.

Turtle Ferry by dock

Wow. This looks SOOOO good. Too bad there's no sound or anything, or this would be really solid all around.

YOU ARE ISLAND. by SpaceManiac

Wow. What just happened? I feel like I've seen another world, and I'm forever changed.

Islands: Through the Sweep of Stars by Morre

AH! I GET IT NOW!
You had some devilish little riddles in there.
The answer to FEAR was so awesome. Took me a while.

Pirate Panic by triplefox

Hey. This is kinda neat-o. I am also stuck with level 3. WAT?~

Isolated Empire by Daz

Many people died.

I am to blame.

Thanks for depressing me.

:(

Artillery Isles by Entar

I can't seem to earn enough resources to expand. I think I might suck pretty bad at it, I dunno.
GREAT WORK FOR 48 HOURS.

A Fishing Adventure by Sophie Houlden

This would be PERFECTION with some SFX and music. I played the builds throughout LD17 and KNEW your final version would be stellar. GREAT FRIGGIN WORK!

I AM ENVY

Galapagos by jovoc

I was sooo pumped and then it just ended.

:(

Keep going!!!

Arks of Mercy by Tenoch

Man, I love this. The music is PERFECT. Needs some SFX and a graphical upgrade with some more structure and it will be GOOOOOLDEN.

A Practical Survival Guide for Robots by Stoney

It ran fine for me. Music was nice, but stopped playing after the 1st night. I loved the little ticker at the bottom. Mucho innovation and humor points for implementing that.

Monkey Islands by Wiering

This was nifty. Too bad you didn't have more time to make a real game out of it.

Island Repair Man by chrisp

GREAT TECH! Needs some more polish and extras, though. Work on this more because it's RAD!

YARGH! Shake Yer Booty! by stuckie

Wow, the spacebar does some kind of weird TIME RIP CONTINUUM thing.

Islands Far Away by sfernald

I suck at these. So bad.

Angry Stan And The Island Of Doom by NGangst

LOL
I love how you turned a bug into a feature.

Bouncecrab, Starfish Island by wlovas

WHOA. Super duper fast!

Banana Joe by vartagh

OK. Those aren't bananas. Those are crab turds. There are no trees, so this is how I know.

You made a game about crab turds.

I liked it.

Needles by bento

I reallllly liked the player animation!

BRAVE ISLAND DIVER by jwaap

BOING BOING BOING BOING
STAR
SUPER BOING
AAAAND.... ALMOST!
AGAIN... SUPER BOING
YES!!!

This is pretty fun!

Pirate by nodlag

I WON! The randomness makes it impossible sometimes, though. I dig the art.

Larma and the Missing Island by ShaneHeres

That's the theme from The Little Rascals. It's called 'The Good Old Days'.

Seems like this was made for something else and then also submitted to LD17.

It's really awesome, but sadly doesn't fit the theme at all and it violates the 'rules'.

:(

NICE JOB, THOUGH. LIKE... REEEAAAALLY NICE.

Clean the Island!! by jfroco

Rad music. And yes, needs more levels. It will be interesting to see if you can find the line between challenging and frustrating with this type of gameplay.

Congrats!

Islands in the Sky by UnionGames

The game window is REALLY small. On my screen, at least.

:(

Eviction by Wobly

Pretty cool. Needs sound, though. The controls are a bit stiff, too.

The Floor Is Lava by NMcCoy

Great use of theme! I could not keep my coolth.

:(

Dinosaur Vs the islands! by ggnosfex

OK IT WAS HILARIOUS.

They Came From the Ocean by bluescrn

STUPID SMOKE MONSTAZ! KEPT KILLIN MEH!
This is pretty cool, actually.

10 Things to do when stranded on a Island by snesgaard

Yup. Getting a crash. Won't even load past the title screen.

The Noah's Ark by desertdweller

Wasn't this game submitted like 2 minutes after the contest started?

lol

DumDumIsland by eva_jolli

Yeah what's here is really promising. Keep going! Refine the combat system and you've got a swell game.

geology by marblecake

This controls like a greased-up bathtub on ice.

Cool idea, but I just can't manage to do anything other than slam into islands at light speed over and over.

:(

Pirate-Go-Round by tove

I LOOOOOVE the tide effect.

LOVE IT.

Flag Island by ToadieTechnika

I was killed many many times right upon respawn. And... Islands? It should be more than just a setting, I think. Your gameplay could take place anywhere.

Gaiadi by xerus

Your games always look very lovely, and this is no exception. Thanks for doing Ludum Dare, as you've given me some inspiration here. KEEP WORKING ON THIS. IT'S RAD.

Napol�©on et la punition myst�©rieuse �®le du diable by joaquim

The jumping controls aren't that great, to be honest. It's more frustrating than it is challenging. I dig the look and the story and the sounds, though.

Floating Islands by arielsan

I liked this. Could use some music or more DEFINED sound effects, though. It's like golf but with a man and a jetpack. In other words... AWESOME.

ICELAND, OR: How I learned to stop caring and love Eyjafjallajokull by drakfyre

LOVED THE MUSIC. So funky.
Pressing UP makes thins VEDDY INTERESTING.

Iceland and the volcanic ASH of DOOM by Rolf

Tricky to control and needs sound, but it's SO TOPICAL!!!

Eden Island by brandoncash

OOH. This will be so rad if you keep working on it. (please keep working on it)

That sucks about the rule mishap, though.

Keytrader by Barefists

There's a tutorial bug. I couldn't complete the tutorial the first time I tried. It wouldn't allow me to trade with H at all. VERY INNOVATIVE STUFF.

Hula Girl HD by philhassey

OH MAN, she freaks me out in a major way!
SUCCESS ON THAT!

Island Guns by pubby8

It's not super innovative and doesn't really make use of the theme in any spectacular way, but it's DAMN FUN. I hate TD games, but this was very enjoyable. Got to wave 26 before having my entire life brought to a screeching halt!

Every Man Is An Island by brian

Reminds me of Leisure Suit Larry for some reason...

Islands!?! Curses!?! by chrica

.NET crash even though I have .NET and XNA on my machine...

Is Lands? by Tom 7

Nice interpretation of theme. Hope to see you return for LD18.

False Flag by Baiame

I ran the game with FANTASTIC settings at 1080 without a single hiccup. The mouse sensitivity is CRAZY. I overshot so many times when trying to click around. And yes, you need some more explanation in order for us to totally grasp this idea more easily. When we have to rate 200 + games, it's hard to spend 10 minutes just learning how a game works. But hey, this was really innovative and has potential. Keep going!

Island Shoving by sander

Crashes on startup. Windows Vista 64 bit.

Coconut Island by Built by Man

OH MAN. The fish totally caught me off guard and murdered me. Some sound, animation, and bug fixes would make this game pretty neat. Keep working on it.

Planetfall by Grieve

Man, those instructions FLY by. The game works well. Nice ideas!

Island of the Mind by nutink

FISH ATE ME

My screen was solid black for the first minute or so, then it randomly came into view and a fish ate me.

I had to change my resolution to get it to display properly.

Nice ambient fish you've got there!

Islands Survival by MrLL

EEK! What was the red thing at the bottom for? Some sound effects would've helped a great deal, as well as some more explanation into what the hell is happening. lol

Tropical Vampires by KavuDX

lol I laffed

Whales Deep by karlinfox

I EETED PLANXTONS.
... and that's about it.

Definitely needs MORE STUFF. Sounds were rad.

Island Warriors by ruben01

This is a neat mechanic, just not much of a game, really.

AlienIslands by Colin Allen

Yeah it looked pretty good, but there really wasn't much going on. The ship model was nicely done.

The Naturalist by JMNielly

STRANGE FROG LEGGED MAN IN A SUIT WITH MOLE ARMS FLIES INTO OCEAN REPEATEDLY. FILM AT 11.

Jetpack Island by elemental

Yup. Can't download it.

:(

Island Towers by Dzarg

The game works for me but it's way too easy. I just made a zig zaggy maze for the fish and lined it with guns until the game finally crashed. But HEY, you're off to a great start. Just needs some tweaks / additions / music / sfx / etc and you've got yourself a nice looking and entertaining TD game.

ROW, FUCK!!! by tembac

So is the point to escape or earn points? I can earn points by saving the guys but then they just fry in the boat with me when i slam into rocks at 3999 MPH.

HILARIOUS

Isolated by roBurky

localcoder wins!
This is a neat idea but it needs some more work.
KEEP AT IT

Pleochorism by smn

OOOH. This is nice. Veddy nice.

Beebop The Island Hopper by treeman

Yay I beeted it.

Poke-Slayer by bulle

The sound that it makes when you attack... will be forever etched into my brain.

Island Warz by Staggy

Cool concept!

It's very tough, too. Or maybe I just suck?

Island Defender by Gobo

WOW. Nice java work for a 48 hour game!

Elementary My Dear Watson by xeon06

Very interesting control scheme, but way too slow.

WeComeFromTheSkies by Mstrp2ez

Steeeep learning curve but lots of work for a 48 hour game. Needs sound and a bit of a tutorial, of course.

Nieuwe Aarde by zorbathut

This is actually VERY good. It's deceptively good, in fact. Great use of theme and GREAT innovation, I say.

Tropical Islands of Doom by Codexus

I was able to run this on 'fantastic' settings at 1080 without a single hiccup. Apart from some popup issues and the clipping, it's quite beautiful.

My biggest gripe is that the turtles just slide out from under you... and the penguin drowns. lol

Wow, Islands And Stuff!! by Hinchy

Cool little game, but like others have said, it's not all that innovative. Not much to do with islands, either... but the music was very island-y. Overall good job!

Waves by Gregory Avery-Weir

I love how he builds such unrealistic speed when swimming upwards from the depths of the ocean... then you FLING out of the water and barely miss helicopter blades on your way back down into a shark's mouth.

Island Construction Malfunction by Benn

A bit slow, but still a rad idea!

Island Robotica by billknye

Needs some serious work, but it could be really fun in the end.

Mauritius by zdanielz

My dodo died many many times as he touched the fur of a rat.

The music is really good and the sprites are pretty nifty.

L'il Guys and the Floating Islands by AClockWorkLemon

Great journal... and I agree with everyone else's comments. Great little game for 48 hours!

Kallista's Dream by zez

This was a trip. A good one.

These cannons fire too fast by pwnmonkey

I can see this being a pretty fun multiplayer game.

4 Islands by Tozy

This is the first time I've seen AGS used for Ludum Dare. Very ambitious, but not easy to accomplish in 48 hours.

Island Survivor by shady1024

Won't extract from the zip file.

SautEUR by ickylevel

Needs audio BADLY. This is a nice take on Eco, with the flopping and stone throwing (somehow). HUUUGE map. Nice work.

Jealous Gods by ChainedLupine

Cool effects, but the core gameplay is incredible repetitive and quite easy. I was able to just hold the cursor on whatever volcano was shooting at me and it was eventually destroyed with ease. I didn't lose a single island.

Everything is animated very well and the sound effects are great. Just tweak the gameplay some more and you'll have something really awesome!

Dreams of how we once were by Perrin

Neat idea. Needs some audio.

Island of Bounty by Ashkin

OOH. This could be fun! KEEP GOING PLEASE!

Hovergirl in Island World by chr15m

link is down

Hungry for Island by the31

I wish this thing controlled better because DAMN is it ever unique. THANK YOU!

Artifact Hunt by allen

Yup. Looked great. Not much to do, sadly.

Music: ALSO GREAT

Island Airline by MrPhil

CRASH

Horrible LD17 Game by demize

HEY. THIS KIND OF SUCKED.
But at the same time, it was really addictive. I managed to get pretty good at it, and I'd love to see it expanded upon. I may even steal a couple of your ideas for a game I've been working on.

NOT TOTALLY HORRIBLE!

Island Hermit Hop! by pgil

WHOA. I dig the art style.

But my fave is the music. Really good tune!

Super Macho Minesweeper by Mark Overmars

This followed the theme quite nicely and exhibited an incredible amount of innovation! BRAVO!

Island Escape by NateNaterson

I love the world map system and the SCREEN SCROLL PREVIEW before the stages. I didn't get the background error at all, but I was a bit bothered by the size of the view area when jumping platforms.

Golden by Maple

Yeah, there just isn't much of a 'reason' to keep playing. And I feel like I've seen that player sprite before somewhere. Maybe I'm crazy.

Life-Cycle of the Great Asp Turtle by Ashera

Way too buggy to be much fun, but I like where this is headed.

Island World by moltanem2000

SO RAD. But then I went into the pirate cave and could do NOTHING. The first jump as too large for me, and I was spawned on top of 3 pirates, and my supplies reset to 0 so I couldn't build anything to jump on, so I was totally stuck. The game needs a serious difficulty tweak early on, as there is no gradual build up to your totally embarrassing murdertality.

Risky Island by Blackduck

I had to jump through hoops to get the .swf file to play by itself. Sorry you didn't like the theme.

Floatation by madk

This is a neat little idea that you should keep working on. I had a decent amount of fun with it.

Island Assault by Selkie

RAD MUSIC! But BRUTALLY unforgiving when you die unless you save. Those little green circle-y bastards are EVIL.

Pedestrian Voter by cptalbertwesker

SPLAT

This should be rated M for Mature.

SkyLands by Diet Chugg

I liked dodging the stale bugles and picking up the fruit snacks with my GOLDEN FLEECED SAMUEL ADAMS ON A HOVERBOARD.

Giant Floating Island Adventure by QOGQOG

I'm getting more of a CAVERNS/EXPLORATION feel from this than an ISLANDS feel. Good game, I'm just not sure how well it suits the current theme.

Runs fine on my PC.

Ferry catcher by Laksen

OH MAN. Like an idiot I failed to read the instructions before playing and laughed because I thought the only point to the game was to jump into the water and die.

Not too bad for such a short amount of time, really.

Island Hopping by Riley Adams

OOH! Lotsa fun! I only wish your islands were less TRON and more... TRONPICAL.

Awesome LifeBoat Game by IK1985

LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAA LA LA LA

The Forgotten Isles by Tempest

I love the terrain effects. Really puts you in the frame of mind of being stuck on an island and just wandering around, not knowing what's around the bend. Story was a nice touch, and the music worked very well.

GOOD WORK!

Ultimate Baluga Whale by Overman

DAAAMN YOU, OVERMAAAAAAAN!!!!

*shakes fist comically*

Island Defence by ZomBuster

OH MAN I love the way your water and splashes look.

Jump Pirate by snowyowl

This game kicked my ASS. Fun challenge!

Simon Haigh's Pirates! by Haighstrom

Rad music. You didn't make it, of course, but it's still rad.

Island Rescue by fydo

D'OH!

Game crashes on startup. Vista 64 bit.

:(

I really wanna play this!

a bridge too far by hazman

Um. This is impossible.

lol

Attack of the Canvey Island Monster by Catmoo

I just want to say that those beans on the bread look NASTEH. But to get on topic, your game is funny in its absurdity.

NO

NO

WAH

NO

WAH

WAH

NO

You are me now by eli

I LOVED the music in this. Ambient, atmospheric, almost entrancing. The game was nifty as well, even though the mechanics were a bit rough. The overall idea was brilliant. Good work!

Loneliness by Jordan Magnuson

When the lone block comes towards you near the end and then runs away... that's rough.

Traffic Island by davecheesefish

Cool idea, but that red and white boat needs to hurry the hell up! I'M NOT GETTIN' ANY YOUNGER!

GET OFF OF MY LAWN!

Rad innovation at play here.

Tango by shrt

Nice try. You ALMOST made it!

Roller-Derby 20XX: Mega Islands of Awesome by refrag

THIS WAS PRETTY DANG RAD.

I agree with the greatness of the music and the 'world'. I really want this to be expanded upon.

Crowned in Doubt by dgfitch

Cool music. I died a lot. Not so cool.
I'll get you bugs SOME day! Also... ISLANDS?!?!

Mad Hatter Island by Devlin

Not bad for 2 hrs.

Sheep are Flammable by someone

Won't run on my system. Vista 64 bit. Just gives me a black screen.

Pee Wee Pirates by frosty

Your computer on a cage rack is AWESOME. Your game is also AWESOME. Keep working on it! I wanna see this expanded!

Stuck by bentosmile

I always enjoy your art. And I'm sure you're very aware, but the game certainly needs a song or some ambient noise. I was also hoping to see her sail away at the end.

:(

OH, and thar be some collision issues if you walk too close to the hedges, yarrrr.

No^Man by youdonotexist

Kept crashing on me.

Dare Islands by XMunkki

GREAT TECH!

Needs some audio, though. I'd also like to see some refinement in island placement. THIS IS PRETTY COOL.

Invasive by TFernando

This went CRAZY FAST for me. It took less than 2 minutes for the kiwis to die off. :(

I can't build walls fast enough. I agree that we need click and drag for wall placement.

Islands of the Stone God by jarnik

I was confused yet entertained. I dug the sounds.

Evil Lair Command by Spiridios

YES. SO HARD!
A little extra visual polish / sound would really help this along... as well as some type of visual to go along with your attacks.

NICE JOB WITH YOUR CHOSEN PLATFORM

Zombie Island by NeiloGD

OH MAH, what a totally USELESS punch that guy has. lol
But I dig the sounds and the look. I'm not getting much out of your interpretation of the theme, though. But hey, it's still pretty neat. MAKE THE ATTACK MORE USEFUL AND GIVE US WEAPON POWERUPS AND MAKE THE ENEMIES A BIT TOUGHER AND WE'VE GOT US A RAD GAME!

Island Planet! by mattdev

Crashed my computer after about 10 rounds. Totally locked up on me. This is nifty, but the AI never build any new tanks so it was pretty easy to cover the map with islands and tanks and then just annihilate the only enemy tank. Keep working on this, because it has potential.

the Traveling Salesman Problem by sirGustav

LOL
I didn't know I could grab the yellow coins that make up the arrows until like 10 minutes in.

Island of Darkness by Parthon

I didn't ready your warning. I just played it. Then I got pissed because I tried SO HARD to jump over this one purple thing and then I realized that it didn't even hurt me.

THAT'S TRICKERY!

Voyage for the Queen by Serilyn

This did a pretty good job of keeping me entertained up until the pirates looted everything I had. That kinda sucked. lol

Great use of theme!

Micro Silent Hunter by DJ_JIA

This is tough to control at first, but I got used to it. The game kept glitching up, though, and my submarine would teleport around the screen at random.

:(

i thought we had a thing by localcoder

Kinda neat, but in the end I wanted to throw Sarah in the ocean and run over her face repeatedly with my outboard motor.

PRESS 2 TO MURDER

Capsize! feat Rep. Johnson vs. DJ Admiral by philomory

OH MAN. HILARIOUS IDEA.

Eyelands by recursor

Lol this is hard as crap. I thought the fire pit was the big hole in the ground but nothing every happened. I'm guessing that wasn't it? I laughed at the native sound, though.

Island Balance by pekuja

2 HOURS?!

Infinite Deadly Islands Of Terror by Hamumu

GREAT LEVEL GENERATION! That makes for NICE theme interpretation. INFINITE ISLANDS!

Oh, and it helps that the game is pretty fun, too.

Windsurfing ! by arif

Kept crashing on me, too.

On an Iron Isle by L

This is a beautiful little game.
BUT MY GOLLY IT'S HARD.

I couldn't work my way to the end, but I'll give it another go in a few days. I'll repost my comments when I do.

Island Tour Racing by shockedfrog

Where are the islands?
lol

I die too fast. I can never get past the first 2 turns.

Rocket Bike To Space by rik

The smoke looks SO rad. The animations are great. Could've used some SFX, though, as the song was a bet repetitive. The difficulty was rather STEEEEP, but it was fun nonetheless.

Hungry Hungry Castaways by Kenny G

SOME OF MY CREW STARVED TO DEATH

I'll miss you forever, Frank!

LD16 — Exploration (120)

Hot Dog Hunter by Henry McLaughlin

I also can't play because of no EXE.

Finding Her by nitram_cero

I enjoyed this. I just wish I knew what the heck happened at the end. lol

I'm afraid that if I play it again, I'll get the same result. :(

Gallery by ExciteMike

I love the animation of the little man. The game is far too short, though. With this type of gameplay, you really need at least 10 solid levels. The sound effects are also amusing.

The First Frontier by Redbone

WHOA! I remember you saying in the IRC that you couldn't even defeat your own boss. Did you ever manage to kill him? I sure as hell can't!

The controls are really smooth and the aliens are funny looking (in a good way, of course).

I suggest some type of respawn system so we don't have to start over after getting murderlized, and a different sound effect for shooting.

I had fun playing this!

Explore that map! by doohan

I dig the soothing/ambient feel of this. I feel like a little Metroid scooting around.

I also encountered the SUPER FAST bullets that couldn't be dodged... and that 'death trap' room is killer.

I encountered a glitch when going up a narrow corridor with those little planes moving back and forth. I was hugging the wall and I was able to bounce out of the level when transitioning to the next room. Then, when I picked up the next key, it froze and made a hilarious sound.

Gratuitous Battles in Space by 5parrowhawk

Crashes on startup for me every time. :(

For Queen and Country by NiallM

I've been wanting to play this since your first screenshot post. I have yet to play with a friend, but this is a great concept. I won by accident on my first try, then read the instructions and figured out how to play very quickly. It looks and sounds nice, too. GOOD WORK!

Echolon by mklee

The game ran super smooth on my machine. It looks great, sounds great, and plays well enough. Good job!

Tree by gimblll

The controls are actually very easy and intuitive. You just hold the spacebar while moving. It would've been nice, however, to allow you to dig UP rather then JUMP while digging. I played and played and played but never reached any sort of goal, then I ran out of juice and it said 'WIN'. I'm not sure what that means. lol

I had fun playing this.

Road by sf17k

OH MAN.

I think this little game speaks volumes about a very specific aspect of human life, but I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS.

But I don't care. I thought it was a rad little experience. Thanks.

Topsy Turvy by Draknek

WHOA! I really enjoyed playing this. I was confused at first, but it all became very intuitive. GREAT JOB!

Climbrunner by agj

This is a rad test in patience, but well worth mastering the art of getting the little bastard to do what you want.

CollabRL by sinoth

This is rad.

S.A.R.T.S. by Cosine

I had fun up until a game killing glitch that erased my player from the level. It was on the stage where you start on the bottom left and have to jump up inside that enclosed zig zag hallway, then go left off the screen so you can wrap around and then jump up the middle on those green things. I went through the left side of the stage and didn't appear on the right side. :(

Needs music badly.

Spacexplorer by pythong

I couldn't die or take any damage. The fun of a shooter is using your skill to avoid death while killing other things.

Come and See by TeamQuiggan

I connected roads to improvements and boat houses and never earned any gold. It also doesn't cost gold to build, so I'm not even sure why I would need it. I agree that this needs more explanation.

Hunters of The Northwest Passage by PsySal

This was pretty rad. Any game that lets you kill and whip your employees gets bonus points.

...Deeper by Doches

I agree with everyone else. It needs more content, but you have a good foundation. Audio is rad.

The lost shipwreck by laremere

It was VERY difficult to control, and I wanted the light to be just a bit stronger. With a little more work, this could be a decent game, I think.

Alien Diaspora by quidditymaster

I'd love to play this, but I can't run the source. I'll need an EXE.

Fuck Oregon let's go find El Dorado by crackerblocks

OH MY GOD.

1) You bastard. I got all the way to El Dorado and then overshot! The tune that plays when you die is hilarious.

2) MOO

3) DAMNED INDIANS GIVIN ME DISEASES! Wait... Wasn't it the other way around?!

4) This is easily one of the coolest games I've played in a long time. It's simple, it's hilarious, and it works. Good friggin' job.

Forest by increpare

This is AWESOME. Thanks!

Apocalypse Adventure by Hempuli

This is really, really, really, really awesome. This does NOT feel like a 48 hour game at all. Good work all around. All it needs is a song / ambient audio to make it really shine. GOOD WORK!

Sunday Hiker by matrin

Reminds me of that hiker game on The Price Is Right. There really isn't much of a game here, sadly. You could always give us the option to commit suicide from the top, though.

Lost in Exploration by dertom

I managed to crawl up onto the top of the stage and get stuck.

:X

Penguinagain by dock

I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS GAME, DOCK!

I encountered a glitch, though. I got stuck between a tree and a wall. :(

The visuals here are fantastic. I love the song. I love the quests to gather food for penguins. I love the fact that I'm a penguin. A girl penguin. With a pink bow.

DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS?

Deep Field by Gilvado

This is a neat idea with a RAD visual style. You should expand on this.

Dark Maze by shanecelis

I can't really figure out how to do this with the screen off. I can't seem to translate the audio cues into directions. Also, there is no goal? The first stage is just one block.

Asploreheim by SpaceManiac

This thing killed my internet connection, I think. I logged in and then 3 minutes later my router went down. lol

All joking aside... this is a neat idea, it just doesn't work as well as you'd like.

The Europa Arcology Incident by Notch

FEMALE BRAWLING MUTANT KILLED BY GREEN SLIME
Film at 11

This is a stylish roguelike.

Little Worlds 4k by Morre

Great innovation. I want to see the final version of this!

In The Field by Entar

This game fits the theme nicely.

Redwalk by Sophie Houlden

This is a nice little experiment, but there just isn't enough variation to warrant exploration, imo. Your time lapse is one of the best I've seen!

Exploration of Space by Sivart13

Sadly, the game won't display properly on my computer.

Ruins by angrywaffle

I agree with the other statements. You have a good core mechanic. Now you just have to expand on the visuals a bit and add some music. The vine cutting part is awesome.

Cursed by Covenant

I also ran out of shovels, but something even stranger happened. I closed the program, but now whenever I press SPACE (like I'm doing now to type this message) I hear your cannon sound effect. THE GAME IS A GHOST! AAAAAAAH!

Colonial Age by Stoney

It was a bit difficult to adapt to the controls, but after a while, they work well enough.

Jail Escape by Rudy_Guillan

I don't know if many people will be willing to install 3 different programs just to play this. You may want to consider getting an EXE in if at all possible. I believe it's required that you provide a Windows version, and all you have here is the source.

Exploration game by gustav

The EXE won't load for me. It encounters and unexpected error on startup.

:(

Jimmy's Adventure by Wiering

The main problem with this is that you don't introduce the difficulty increase in a gradual manner. One of the first jumps utilizes the MAXIMUM horizontal jumping distance to pull off. This is something that's usually introduced well after the player is comfortable with the game. Cool pixel art.

Drifting in the Stellar Winds by mocker

I also can't get it to work. I'll check later.

derelict_ by stuckie

CREW SELECT IS RAD. This game needs some work, but you're off to a great start.

Massacre at Misfit Toy Island by sfernald

Man, this is way too hard. It took like 50 shots to kill the friggin' Tootsie Roll can. Plus you take like one hit and you go back to the title screen. I wanted to finish it, but I just can't do it. lol

Where is the Cheese by KungPhoo

This game is totally rad from top to bottom.

I expect awards here.

Age of Exploration by wonderwhy-er

MY SPICIES SUCCESS!!!

But seriously, you've created a nifty little game. With some work and polish, this could become very popular, I think. It would need tons more content, of course, but your basic idea is very addictive.

Adventure Quest by TenjouUtena

I still have no idea what the arrow buttons do. When you first load the game, you're bombarded by an info screen of DEATH that immediately turns you off to the experience. Cool idea, though. You should certainly keep working on it.

LoneStranger's Explore by LoneStranger

I agree. Keep working on this one.

Number Explorer by Lerc

I believe one of the requirements is that you must provide a working Windows version.

towlr: EXPLR by philhassey

I found the dragon but never this supposed "CAKE".
I did hear beeps, though. So I guess I sort of won?

Explo48 by Codexus

You certainly have a neat idea. Just keep working on it and learn some more about Unity. That's what LD is all about!

Tomb Explorer by Frimkron

Wow. This is a really nice foundation for something that could end up being really RAD. You should keep working on this. Adding enemies, audio, and other stuff (maybe a map that reveals itself as you explore?) would make it a really nice game. Good work!

Chameleon by Undead3

I REALLY dig this. It's so friggin' simple, but it's close to being pure genius. I don't think you should really add too much to this, honestly. Sure, it needs SOMETHING, but this core mechanic is really addictive. I upped the game speed to x16 (nice addition, btw) and had a blast trying to clear stages in rapid succession. GREAT WORK!

Mars Rover by Rafael CP

I agree. Great idea. Just needs more time.

Authentic Space Exploration by Hexane

I think that requiring CHROME was a bit much. The achievements were fun.

Amke's Revenge by Mark Overmars

This game looks way better in motion than in the screenshots. It was a little difficult, but certainly nowhere near impossible. The audio was very well done.

PATHWAYS by hubol

MY MIND. IT IS BLOWN.

Scouting only! by stRana

It's way easier to just run around like mad and uncover all of the tiles at once rather than moving slowly. That fact kind of breaks the game, I think.

The game is amusing, though.

Soundscape by Atomic

This IS really hard. :(
I couldn't even come close. lol

Heartiac Arrest by Maple

I hope you can get this fixed because it's way rad... although a tad difficult.

SEEK*TOR by Ashera

Wow. This is really cool. Some sound and a little extra polish would make this game PHENOMENAL. Keep working on this!

Tower Quest by moltanem2000

The extras and unlockables are actually worth aiming for! Your game has actual replayability, which is tough for something like Ludum Dare. Good job! The song was great, too.

Boboil's Adventure by Blackduck

I agree that you trip too often, and I can never defeat any enemies. They always kill me first. There needs to be some visual cue of the damage you're dealing, and the game needs some balancing.

TextAge 2: The Rise of His Majesty by madk

Was that a Joker reference in a text adventure game?
I THINK IT WAS!

I enjoyed the twists and turns here, but some of the text was hard to follow as it jumped up the page after a command.

Lost? by retrogamer500

I thought the red things were goodies and they shot me.
:(

Nice sound effects and music!

Planetary Explorer by Selkie

I appreciate the fact that you have 2 distinct gameplay styles. The lack of sound effects really hurts the flying part, though.

Do you see it? I saw it by cptalbertwesker

I loved the sound effects!

Explorium by MoltenMustafa

This reminded me SO MUCH of playing Gameboy as a kid... in the back seat of the car on the way to town.

The Wooden Fleet by weasel

I agree... way too slow to be enjoyable. Boost the speed up a bit (don't make it TOO fast) and keep working on it. You have a decent idea here. Good job on the theme, though.

Ezo by C418

This is a cool little experience. The audio is TOP NOTCH, as it should be. Good implementation of theme!

Mine by Noel Berry

I dig the minimalist art style!

Asteroid Explorer by Akunate

There isn't very much going on. Is there a goal?

Dungeon Explorer by arzi

The levels eventually turned into a TRIAL AND ERROR kind of deal. You rush out to find where a few orbs are and then try to remember for the next attempt. Overall it's a fun game.

Wheres my jacket? by rolfeth

Also can't get it to work.

Shoot For The Stars by Diet Chugg

THIS GAME IS SO HARD!
I like the concept, but it could stand to be more forgiving. Falling from the very top is a saddening experience.

CMYKave by QOGQOG

Wow. I loved the little ENDING screens. Made me want to explore the deaths. I FOUND TRUE LOVE! lol
Fun game.

Heli scout by Laksen

MOONWALK COPTER

Scavenger by Fiona

This game looks REALLY NICE in motion. The pictures don't do it justice. The game is very relaxing, which is what I think of when I hear: EXPLORATION. Everything works well together. For a 48 hour game this is incredibly polished, as others have said. NICE!

Zelnick by ianh

Also just getting a white frame. :(

Legacy of HYDON by Arne

We all know the visuals are superb. With some animation, sound, AI, and an improved battle system, this game would be KILLER. Please keep working on this.

MindPloration by Risko

MY GOD. The man's head on the baby's body...

MY GOD.

Winter by JackZack

WOW. I didn't expect this to end up being so interesting. The story is VERY slim, but it packs a nice punch. GREAT USE OF THEME.

Hole Jump by Alex

LOL

I got to 240.. then SPLAT.

This is actually VERY fun. Thumbs up! It doesn't really go with the theme, though.

:(

Dream Explorer by scellers

I dig the art, but I also agree on the odd feel of the jumping.

Cubees: Age of Exploration by Tempest

This can easily become something really awesome if you keep working on it. The audio fits nicely and the world / player graphics are pleasant. The worst part is that your little avatars don't really mesh well with the rest of your aesthetic. OVERALL A REALLY NICE GAME!

Quest For The Ring by KillerMan1501

I believe your collision detection needs work. I keep getting killed even when I'm not touching anything directly.

Missing by 10Print

THIS GAME MADE ME FEEL WOOZY!

lol

This was refreshing. Thanks.

Super Mario Ripoff by Overman

OK. This game is absolutely hilarious in the most genius ways possible. Unfortunately, I don't think it really qualifies for Ludum Dare.

I Never Missed Anyone Until They Were All Gone by Cosr

This is an interesting start.

Dark Fire by Stalker_23b

Sadly, I cannot play this game.
I get this error immediately after loading:

ODE Internal Error
Stepsize must be > 0

What is It by Will Xyen

I had an issue with prompts popping up everywhere telling me how things worked. It kind of breaks up the flow when you're trying to avoid falling in a pit of spikes if the game pauses to tell you that spikes will kill you. :)

I'd also like to know what in the hell the player character was supposed to be.

THE DOUBLE FLIP JUMP LOOKS COOL, THOUGH.

Phish world by grayger

I have no idea what I was killing, but I bygod killed it.

The Medicine Hunt by lurreluck

This is the stupidest thing I've played all day. I mean that in a good way.

Oblivious -the darkness within- by killdream

The lighting of the paths and the KEEPING of the found paths is great. The game needs MORE to it, that's for sure... but what you have here is very solid.

Needlesoft Haystack Explorer by Sos

I DID IT!

At least the needle is always right near the surface...
Nice interpretation of the theme.

This is Infinity by cactus

Wow. That was rad. Pictures don't do this justice. The sound works perfectly with the visuals, but I'm not sure if they actually count.

Also: CAT

islomania by hazman

I love how you're 'exploring' and 'claiming' places that are usually already populated.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS REPRESENT

There's an error if you try to drop a flag while in the boat and not near an island. Also... I can leave and exit the same side repeatedly and get a different area each time. MADNESS!

Rex's Junk Hunt by Catmoo

lol

Rex sure does like to request pictures of himself often...

Leaving Satisfactoria by eli

This game doesn't work very well. I can't turn at all once I leave the circle and when I get hit, I just stay as an explosion and drift for eternity. You may have some bugs.

5 Colors: Pandora by Jordan Magnuson

This game is deceptively deep. I had no idea what was going on at first, but EXPLORATION brought me knowledge. Great use of theme!

Gravity by davecheesefish

It took a while to get the hang of the controls. I also had no idea what those red things were at first. They look like goals of some sort, but will actually hurt your ship.

EchoExplorer by refrag

I enjoyed the music, but the sonar sound effect drowned it out. :(

I thought the game was pretty cool, actually. Very stylistic.

Drowning by ronsho

Yeah, I thought the screen going black was a glitch.

Chip 1234 by voltain

I think maybe I found your debug room? I fell into this grey room with powerups and enemies strewn about with copies of my character running around. 0__0
I like the design of the main character and the dotted background.

Explorer Quest by Devlin

I thought the skeleton was a villager at first, so I just kept bumping into him. HE MURDERED ME.

Nice use of the theme.

Intergalactic Farmer Bob in Space Hijinks by Zecks

Nice job of emulating a classic style... both visually and mechanically.

Northern Spy by BenHem

He starved to death trying to chop down 50 trees just to eat a few apples. Maybe if the guy wasn't so fat, he'd be able to walk AROUND THEM. lol

This is a neat little game with some cool features. The changing seasons, falling trees, and growing plants are rad.

Duct by bentosmile

I, too, was unable to add any music to my game. With games that have no music or sound effects, I try to find something rad in my collection to listen to while I play it.

I spun some Earthbound tunes while I played Duct.

I seriously enjoy your artistic style, and I still remember Miner Distraction very well. Good work!

Intestinal Cavity Explorer by XMunkki

This is a very loose interpretation of the theme, but it's still a decent little game. I can't seem to make it past .95, though... as my mouse has to be picked up and reset to the middle of my mouse pad, tossing me into a wall. The sound worked well.

Xplorer by sirGustav

Nice journal! Also, nice multiplayer game. CPU AI would've been great, though. Kind of hard to get someone else at the computer easily. Nice use of the theme!

Bashplore by samel

Can't get it to work.
:(

Tomb Thief by Serilyn

Tomb Thief made me feel incredibly nauseous, and I normally have no issues with FPS games. The models are nice and the textures work well. The lighting is also very well done.

With some sound and an actual exit, this would be pretty rad.

oil exploration by localcoder

This is a very unique take on the theme, and it's refreshing. Good work!

The Legend of Purple Dot - Epsidoe 1: Purple Dot the Explorer by philomory

My best score is 3700 thus far. Like you said, there isn't much going on as far as a game is concerned. The fuel and random generation aspects are well implemented, though.

Bees n Flowers by recursor

When I first played, I just ran around hitting tons of flowers like an idiot.

How long does this go on? I played for 8 minutes with no end in sight. The sound effects are funny.

Robot Wants Kitty by Hamumu

lol

This is a funny little game. The mechanics work very well and the visuals are appealing. Good work!

the light at the end of the tunnel by ippa

OH MAN. I laughed. I noticed a bunch of little areas that would normally hold ATTAINABLES. I imagine you didn't have time to add them, and that always stinks. The little bug eyed creature is cool.

Cat Planet by chuchino

WOW. This is pretty rad. I love all the little cat phrases and the music. Did you make all this music in 48 hours as well?!?!

Space Explorer by jplur

I didn't find anything to shoot other than planets, but they never exploded. :(

Boboil goes Exploring by AtkinsSJ

MAN, I had my speakers turned up too high and the first time I ran into an enemy I nearly choked to death on my own girlish screams!

Chopface by DrPetter

HE LOOKS SO FUNNY!

Your camera system works better than some of the crap I see in big budget console games. Good work!
