LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

An Unconventional Sound by YSelf Tool 2015-05-02T14:52:00

Extremely cool concept, but a bit difficult to play (almost impossible for me to make a sound of the correct frequency/whatever's governing this) to hit the top half of the screen), would love to see this done with some more work put into it, perhaps with some form of calibration for the user's voice

Viral Mutation Manipulation Simulation by HuvaaKoodia 2015-05-02T15:07:00

Highly unintuitive and text-heavy, seems like it has an interesting concept though. Might give the post-jam version a shot to see what it's like with a bit better execution. Web version crashed upon trying to administer virus.

IFF by eott 2015-05-02T15:26:00

Not bad, the sound effects are a little mind-crushing though! Would be nice if there was something more for the player to do when the maximum number of units are converted, felt a bit impotent being forced to just run and hide and wait for one of them to die.

CoolHatGuy by wood.innis 2015-05-02T15:14:00

Woo, first timers unite :) Sadly it repeatedly crashed on mine after clicking a couple of objects so I wasn't able to get a good feel for what the game was about.

Use your head by SimonIgefjord 2015-05-02T15:22:00

Really nice little game, extremely difficult but satisfying when you work out what you're doing. Would like to see this developed further :)

Malicious Design by MHaton 2015-04-21T21:57:00

Yeah, sorry about that, it actually ran as just an executable with no install, but Avast decided to FREAK out, and assumed it'd do the same on other peoples' machines :(

LD33 — You are the Monster

RODENT by notajetski 2015-09-05T23:08:00

That rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!

Could've used a bit more of a game to it, but still quite fun :) People running off to the right and jumping around off the screen trying to find them was definitely a bit of an issue

Orphan by Rialgar 2015-09-05T23:00:00

Simple and interesting, but would've appreciated a bit more depth! Quite satisfying anyway, spent quite a while murdering knights until I realised not much else was going to happen and ate myself.

Haunt by thedashdude 2015-09-12T17:46:00

Gets extremely difficult very quickly, but after a few goes at the same level you see the timing, which makes it more like a puzzle to figure out the correct sequence. Not bad at all.

Monster Be Good by MHaton 2015-09-04T22:13:00

Yeah, definitely could've managed my time better this time :( Planned in some sleep, but overslept and was still too tired, need to find the balance between sleep and work next time.

...or buy more coffee. Coffee works.

Going For A Walk by PlasmaErnst 2015-09-14T15:17:00

Well, I'm not really sure it's a game yet but damn is it pretty.

The Unseen by Wedge McCloud 2015-09-05T22:34:00

Interesting concept! Trying to keep the balance between growth and suspicion is extremely challenging

rednowall by rednowall 2015-09-12T17:42:00

Fun little game, liked the scaring mechanic :)

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Momma's Little Monster by dalbinblue 2015-12-15T16:54:00

Didn't get a screenshot, but got stuck on what I think was level 11 - could eat the Red dragon-looking guy in the middle but there was one little guy going down the side still!

Nice little game, excellently captured the retro feeling :)

Farmers Struggle by ItsSacraficed 2015-12-16T18:29:00

Not bad :) Seemed to have an issue where I was harvesting multiple plants at once but only getting the money for one, which meant I lost a LOT of money very quickly. Not to mention the vast majority of plants seeming to make less money than they cost to plant... remind me never to become a farmer!

Mystic Sapling by atrodo 2015-12-14T22:23:00

Couldn't play unfortunately, so won't rate :( Web player wasn't responding to any of the controls.

Water Drop's Journey by tedling 2015-12-15T16:43:00

Really like the design, felt weirdly like super monkey ball for some reason! I did randomly manage to freeze the game occasionally, not sure why. Always seemed to happen in midair and required a refresh to move on :( Really nice little game regardless

Moon defend by Neonian 2015-12-15T16:46:00

Now this I like :) Can be a bit overly difficult, but the mechanic is simple and effective. Would be interesting to see what else you can do with it!

10/10 by Maxom 2015-12-16T18:44:00

Love the concept, but could possibly do with a bit clearer guide what you're actually doing :p

Also, hitting both left and right breaks it because it gets confused >.>

World Grower - Growth of the civilization by rhebsgaard 2015-12-14T22:59:00

Could be pretty neat! With a bit more direction to it and some more variety (obviously a fault of this being a game jam) it could be something really nice that I could easily get addicted to.

That said, the music has already driven me to insanity and I only played for a few minutes. Could do with some variety on that end, or at least a mute button!

World Grower - Growth of the civilization by rhebsgaard 2015-12-14T23:00:00

Just noticed there is actually a mute button. Woops.

Critical Balance by tjxx 2015-12-16T18:18:00

Nice physics, could possibly do with a bit more gameplay to it, but it works and it's nicely challenging

Christmas Eve Late Delivery Service by ajopart 2015-12-14T22:30:00

The English is pretty dodgy, but no hate for that if it's not your primary language (which it's clearly not). I really like the way the world looks beneath you and the stylised sleigh :) The music did drive me moderately insane and the voice clips were perhaps a bit excessive happening every time, but I liked the concept and I'm regretting not doing a Christmas game myself now!

The F by Atmog 2015-12-15T17:17:00

74,301 before I got horribly murdered by zombies :) Probably the longest I've spent playing a LD game, good fun and oddly addictive. Nice work

GrowSeedPinball by freaknarf 2015-12-14T22:41:00

Reasonably fun, I do like the concept of a multi-tiered table :) Not exactly difficult though, had to attempt to actually lose, and the lack of being able to bump the table (because obviously, two button controls) means that you don't have as much control as regular pinball games. That said, it worked reasonably well within the constraints of the control scheme, I didn't get stuck outside the table at least!

Could perhaps do with a small start screen, it was a bit panic-inducing suddenly being thrown into it!

Grow, Glow, Go by MHaton 2015-12-16T01:15:00

Nice :) think that's the highest anyone's told me about so far at least ;)

Thanks for the nice comments folks!

Elenesski's Two Bar by Elenesski 2015-12-14T22:53:00

Pretty good! Potential to be worked into something interesting. I felt just randomly making the images nearly useless after level 6 was a bit of an artificial way to hike the difficulty suddenly though. There were also a couple of places where the notes weren't really in the right place to fit any sort of rhythm, which is a bit mean in a rhythm game.

When I tried to submit my score, it informed me that I can't have any letters in my username. This makes recording it a bit difficult! Explains why there's nobody on the leaderboard at least. Props for trying to implement that from scratch in a Jam though, very ambitious.

Hello Darkness by jcmonkey 2015-12-14T23:05:00

Very atmospheric, I was actually getting slightly creeped out right up until I saw the adorable happy slimes :)

Evil Developer's Lair by Baecun 2015-12-15T17:01:00

Well that escalated quickly :P A very good first game, keep it up and give us another next time :)

You may want to describe the jump as a wall jump rather than a double jump to save confusion, as that's more what people would typically call that :)

Currant Matters In Bird Town by fakefrogsonly 2015-12-16T18:23:00

A little bit janky, but I can definitely appreciate how ambitious this is for a jam game :) Could probably do with a way to speed up text, as there's a lot of waiting around for it to slowly scroll in at the moment

LD36 — Ancient Technology

Ancient Technologies by csanyk 2016-09-15T09:27:00

Neat :D The setup is more interesting than the game itself (obviously, that's the point), it's conceptually awesome and I like your interpretation of the theme

Ancients & Aliens by MHaton 2016-08-29T21:46:00

Woops, sorry! Put this up when I was still completely exhausted. Corrected now.

If you do crash, let me know what the error was and I'll tweak it, I had to change a bunch of systems around in the last few hours I was working on it because I started killing off cavemen and realising there were no checks to see whether the cavemen still existed... sounds like I missed one or two!
