LD20 — It's Dangerous to Go Alone! Take This!

Laser cats VS Zombie rats by Jesper Oskarsson 2011-05-03T17:14:00

Nice idea, interesting puzzle!

Nano Seed by machinas 2011-05-03T17:05:00

I like the idea of simultenous control over two different units (even one of them being a swarm)! Further development might be quite interesting.

Torch by alexlarioza 2011-05-02T11:02:00

Hey, I beat it and it's actually pretty good! Tough enough, but not too hard. I liked all these different creatures.

Officer Alfred by Hempuli 2011-05-02T11:53:00

The idea itself is pretty amazing, but the game does not stay much behind. Loved it!

Legend of Parasite by Draknek 2011-05-03T16:51:00

Interesting idea, really nice graphics! Could not find any relation to the theme, though.

LD24 — Evolution

Title Goes Here... by eShredder 2012-09-02T14:19:00

That was fun! I was not patient enough to get any far. The theme felt more like 'upgrades' than 'evolution'.

Evolution Jumper by UntitledQ 2012-09-02T14:51:00

Nice idea! I loved the idea of configuring your DNA blocks to create specific properties (and even animal type! :D). I was not able to get past the turtle though...

Cannibal Slugmage of Eden by triliyn 2012-09-02T15:13:00

Grabbing into empty space filled my inventory with green slugs (?). Pressing T and clicking dumped the whole inventory (and not just one slug). Clicking nearby slugs in magic mode did not work (a slug was not collected). Sounds like an interesting idea, would love to play that.

Camouflage by kirill 2012-09-02T15:23:00

Great idea! The ever-repeating cycle makes it easy to gradually improve your survival strategy. The possibility to run off-screen was a bit confusing, I was not also able to make a relation between the food you consume and a hearth-bar (how much did I need to consume in order to survive?). I had fun, though!

Adlus: Mouse Of Truth by magicdweedoo 2012-09-02T13:27:00

This felt really creepy in a positively interesting way :) Nice!

Survivalism by Walt 2012-09-02T14:09:00

Great game! Well executed gameplay, simple and polished graphics. Some audio would be nice. It might be fun to play on a gamepad.

Lab Experiment Demo by Threef 2012-09-02T15:39:00

Got the jumping, but then I'm stuck. I had fun!

An Astronomical Affray by reheated 2012-09-02T17:25:00

The normal mode is actually pretty hard, thanks for the Easy mode. I like the controls, the music was nice! Also the enemy feedback0based evolution is a great idea.

The Evolution Of The BlobFish by metaldemon 2012-09-02T16:17:00

Looks like a really well-balanced gameplay difficulty. The absence of any health powerups made it quite hard. I had fun playing it. Quite pleasant music!

Evolve and Conquer by skintkingle 2012-09-02T14:00:00

Nice concept, took me a moment to get a hang of the drawing path concept. Got stuck a lot when an enemy amoeba got stuck on a map edge, unable to move, thus not ending the AI turn.

Natural Selection: breeding by God by ripatti 2012-09-02T16:59:00

The most interesting and daring entry I've player so far! The UI and graphics are polished exceptionaly well! Thumbs up!

SimEvo by Joror 2012-09-02T17:09:00

Interesting concept, might be interesting upon completion. I was not able to deduce a sensible relation between Biome and survival capabilities of my body parts.

Rings of Evolution by gbellgames 2012-09-02T17:16:00

Combination of a space shooter and platformer is a nice idea :) It was fun playing it.

EVOLON by Moris_N 2012-09-02T17:20:00

Whenever I got killed, the player character got stuck, the rest of the world kept going on, I was not able to restart the game...

The Tower with Traps in it by Moops 2012-09-02T16:01:00

The frantic pace was fun (and mostly infuriating :)

Dr. Ken and Dr. Ken by Dry Tree 2012-09-02T13:45:00

A frantic action AND a moral lesson :) I was fun, took me a while to figure out the strategy for collecting the rabbits while avoiding the bosses.

3 Little Pigs by brita_ 2012-09-02T15:49:00

Funny :) Smashing those houses felt nice, the gravity was a bit Moon-like.

Mutasite 1991: Attack of the Mutagenic Parasites by Cake_Catastrophe 2012-09-02T13:20:00

Nice gameplay. I did not see any effect of the gained mutatations though. Even a simple sound effects (SFXR-like) would add to the experience.

A Conglomerate of Pixels by creative630 2012-09-02T14:41:00

Great concept! Quite often I've died immediately after starting the level, it would be nice to keep the game paused at the beginning, so that the player could check out his surroundings first and get ready.

Galagapos by brackeen 2012-09-02T15:45:00

Quite original concept! Took me a while to realize my goal was not to control the ship, but instead just evolve the aliens.

LD28 — You Only Get One

Handy Capped by Crusable 2013-12-23T09:20:00

Brilliant! I tried flashlight and half time, couldn't finish with neither of them, but had lots of fun and thrills :)
Loved the "move by swap" mechanic!

Save the Keg by LordHellMaX 2013-12-22T21:31:00

Damn, I got so close to the end! :D
The A/D turning was pretty handy while dragging the cart, but very clumsy during free running (might be better to switch to A/D sideway running + mouse look).
It felt quite difficult to focus on pressing multiple keys to handling the axes while being shot at by catapults. As the axes were distributed quite far enough from one another, it could be easier to just use SPACE to pickup and throw or drop (if there was another nearby) an axe.
Therefore a skipped the axes and just kept on running like crazy, avoiding the shots, which got me quite close to the drakar. Fun! :D

EVA : You only get one... by Lyonsbanner 2013-12-22T22:06:00

I got out! :D
I liked the graphics, but I kinda missed a connection to the theme... Also I was hoping to have to cross the maze without getting a constant hint ;)

A friendly reminder - you shouldn't use any third-party content (like music, even if you give a credit) for the compo - that's what jam is for ;)

Where are you, Santa Claus ? by yoanndeplo 2013-12-22T21:04:00

At start, I was a bit suspicious about all the content that didn't look like it was made during the jam, but then I guessed you've used some of the JRPG editors and I thought, what the heck, why not, it's perfect tool for the first entry.
It's actually a nice little game, I had fund and managed to find Santa eventually :)
In English version, the yes/no choice actually gave me "oui/non" options, so I guess it might have been the typo from the french version.
Congrats on your first LD entry!

GASP by Nancybeast 2014-01-04T21:59:00

Good idea, well executed! It's nice you're forcing the player to start over from the very beginning - makes a challenge more real (I got frustrated after 4 tries, enjoyed it nevertheless).
It would be nice get rid of the buttons in menu (hitting the SPACE / ESC might be more convenient).

Stabby game by Woftles 2013-12-22T22:13:00

Interesting concept!
I suck at fast top-down action, so I didn't even get to the red guy. The movement momentum felt a bit strange, also in some more complex rooms the fps dropped to 14 fps (on i7 8core), but the shading looked brilliant, love it!

Experience Legion by calimeraw 2013-12-23T09:37:00

Interesting concept!
Too bad I was the only player connected at the moment, it must be so much more fun to control the robot in more people (could be that the unanimousness boost the execution of commands - speed, attack strength).
Mapping buttons to arrow keys could be handy.

Kittens for Science ! by zequack 2013-12-23T08:58:00

Great concept!
Trying to jumping while running was a bit cumbersome sometimes, I lost my patience trying to jump over a wide crevice.
"A" did not work for walking left (as stated in title screen), nor could I find any way to quit the fullscreen mode, other than ALT+F4.
Never mind the controls, I love the graphics, sound, the concept overall!

BlockDodger by Jishenaz 2013-12-22T21:16:00

Looks like a nice little OpenGL exercise!
The only issue I had was with controls - upon pressing and holding the arrow key, the player moved a bit and then stopped before moving again. It might be because of the framework limitations, but it'd feel much smoother if the player could move without the initial stutter.

Element Fighter by smash ball 2013-12-22T22:55:00

Great concept, I like it! Would love to have the color-switching a bit faster.
Though I'm a shooter noobie, so I didn't get very far.

Top Gear Time Travel by Yeti 2013-12-22T22:18:00

I got about a half correct! But I've missed the theme :/
See you on next LD!

FreshParkour by Will Hwang 2013-12-22T22:26:00

Aaah, I suck at wall-jumping :/ And the jump always felt too short. But once polished, the controls could be quite interesting!|
I've missed the theme.

Startrader by Nessic 2013-12-22T22:33:00

Hey, really nice concept! Took me a few rounds to get familiar with the controls, but this is a solid base for interesting gameplay. Liked the music!

No double jump :( by Wspon 2013-12-22T22:38:00

Great concept!
Even though I got wasted by the cannons quite a lot, I had fun. And thank god for the save-points! :D

Rainbbow Man by Eric 2013-12-22T22:49:00

Congratulations on finish your game!
Speed issue: it's always a good practice to not move your character by constant distance, but also multiply it a by a time elapsed since the last update. There's usually some method to read system time, then you just subtract the currect value from previous frame value. This way your movement won't be frame-based (which may differ for various devices) but time-based (time is measured accurately on all devices). But other comments might explain in a more sensible way.

Wedding Rush by olafsworld98 2013-12-23T09:26:00

Oh noes, I've fallen to the bottom of the world and had to spend the rest of my days there.... :/
Then I restarted, found the map, got to the car, drove to her house and GOT MARRIED!!!
Loved the walk animation! :D

One Color by jonask 2013-12-22T21:36:00

Got to level 18. Nice concept, simple but interesting gameplay!

Fighter-01 by Thalikoth 2013-12-22T21:43:00

Hey, nice concept, I like it a lot!
Longer steps could might be more useful for better tactical use of the upcoming maneuvers. Otherwise I just kept on bashing the space, until I got into a position to shoot. Sometimes I just kept circling in one corner with aliens keeping to the other, which was a bit tiresome.

Choose Wisely by zconnelly13 2014-01-04T21:40:00

Great game, quite original, I had fun! My doge fell off a few times, so I've rather decided to commit a suicide than face the rest of the levels alone.

a Pantless Man with a Clueless Plan by Detocroix 2014-01-04T21:44:00

Love it! Funny, great graphics, found all the endings.

Open Forest by koller-digital 2013-12-23T09:47:00

Great concept, had 10 minutes of solid fun!
Over time, my city got flooded with wild animals, but the initial construction and appearance of new options felt pretty great! Thanks for making the game!

Out of Mind by kibertoad 2013-12-22T21:57:00

I haven't played many turn-based shooters, but I haven't managed to avoid being seen (I prefer sneaking to combat). Some visualisation of enemy view cone would help.
Anyway, bonuses were interesting, I managed to gather a herd of dogs that followed me around for quite a while :)
Liked the setting and the music!

By Your Command! by creative630 2013-12-23T09:31:00

After getting used to strafing to evade the shots, I've managed to survive for more than a few seconds. But I got surrounded after a while eventually :]
Nicely done controls and concept, I had fun!

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Thanks, good idea, I'll try to do a Mac build.
