This was excellent! You certainly know how to juice your games. I didn't do hardcore mode, but I did play through it - although I was about to quit when I arrived at "The Final Battle", since I wasn't too sure if it would go on forever or not.
I beat it! I think you've done quite a good job with this. I think the graphics are quite stylish, but I had some trouble seeing the cave entrance - I think maybe some places could emphasize what kind of items are interactable.
It's good adventure gaming fun, and we like that.
You're off to a good start.
Pretty cool game, and really tough puzzles. I got the bad ending, it seems.
I like it. It would be cool if the camera moved along with the craft - showing the ship at the center of the screen at all times. Would be cool for aiming, I think.
This game is really cool. I didn't manage to win yet, but it def. deserves some special kind of attention. The mechanic is great, and wonderfully implemented. The only downside is that I can't show it to people I know who are hearing impaired on one side.
Thanks for creating the standalone versions so I could try it!
This is very hard, and it took me a few attempts to figure out what ended the game and what were good things to hit. I don't think any of my attempts lasted more than 30 seconds.
I noticed that if I held down the mouse, you could see a trailing line - but my bee/wasp/thing would only fly directly to the end of it; Having it follow the trail could be a cool mechanic to add when flying through the more complicated areas.
I like the music and the graphics a lot.
A lovely take on the theme, great fun, great graphics - an overall good game. And incredibly suitable for IOS/Android as well. Add a multiplayer-option and you've got yourself a hit.
Lovely art-style, a little confused by the ending.
I finished it it! I was a bit confused about the levels that aren't beatable on the first try - but as I kept playing I figured out the mechanic. Nice job.
This is scary stuff, really innovative, fun mechanic - and a lovely take on the theme.
A very pretty implementation of a very simple mechanic. The "two-stick-shooter" works very well with wasd+mouse. Would be cool with title/end-screen, sound/music, and a possibility to win (that may be possible - I may just suck :P)
My only question would be: Is this game beatable? I start it, I get to pull two, maybe three shots - I die.
A bit unforgiving, I think - having to start from the beginning makes it a bit too hard for me.
Are the levels generated, or are they picked randomly from a pool?
The game is pretty, and the mechanics are solid.
Trying to wrap my head around level 5 with no luck.
Cool puzzler, but a bit difficult to master the mechanics properly. Almost finished it but gave up on level 5.
With the right mind-bending levels, this can become a pretty good puzzler.
First I just popped up the game, started to drive, and was told that I was out of energy and that I had lost the game. I tried several times, and beat it on the fourth attempt. I think that if you worked on how you were presenting the core mechanic (the transfer of energy from the battery to you, and from you to the world) - it would be easier to dive into.
I finished it! I like it, this is something that can become really good with some work. The core game mechanic is there - you can make this quite nice with small modifications here and there. :)
Crashed on my 32nd click.
Shooting the boxes was really satisfying. Good job. Bummer to have to start all over when I was killed by the big box, though.
My game is about a blob, too!
I didn't understand the grey box-mechanic, and I got stuck by the lava - I didn't find a way to get past.
I died. I'm also probably gonna get epilepsy..
This is incredibly hard.
I finished it! This is really polished - I like it a lot.
I'd like to see more mind-bending puzzles.
First I was wondering what this was all about, but reading the instructions you posted in the comments helped alot. Now it's actually quite fun.
Worked fine in Ubuntu 13.04 with sun java 7.
Got this to run in Linux without any big problems - just had to install the missing packages. For me, in Ubuntu 13.04 that was python-pyglet and libavbin0 ...
As you say, it's unfinished - but you've got something going on, I like that.
The game is very hard - harder than mine, and I don't make it very far. I like that the game renders from a different perspective than the common space shooter; It makes me think that there's probably a market for it.
Most clever use of the theme so far. I love it.
I got stuck at some point, not sure which level it was - yellow/green guy.
I think the mood of this game was great. The trilemma is great, and I love the storytelling.
I like that you included a Linux-version, but it doesn't seem to contain any executeables.
Since it's a java-game, it's probably not too hard to make this work in Linux/Mac OS X as well. I'm in Linux currently, so unable to review it.
I gave up at 'sprint'.
Neat mechanics, I like it :)
Works in Wine in Linux. It'd be cool to be able to control the pad with the mouse. At one point I both beat the level and got game over at the same time; But I was sent to the next level so it worked out well.
Neat.
Really pretty stuff, and a nice execution. I gave up at level 3 - record 33 seconds.
Very nice, but I had to give up at level 18 -- I don't have the reflexes required for this :)
I like the concept, the style and the sound a lot.
But I have difficulties controlling the box due to the isometric view, so I don't know if there were more levels or anything - I kept dieing pretty fast.
Really fun game!
This is really cute. The quotes that come up reminds me of certain people's Facebook-postings.
I like the sound.
I'm not sure if there's an end in this game; I didn't reach it.
Works fine in Linux, just run it like this;
java -jar LD48.jar
I managed to cover the entrance with a tower, making it impossible to lose.
The UI could use some work, since the circular menu can appear partly off-screen, some choices are unavailable for certain cells.
I like it! Good job.
What did I just play
There's a lot of potential in this - I think you should work more with it, finish it up / polish it.
Respect!
Works in Linux if I remove pygame._view from the import list.
Neat, but I'm a bit confused if the walls had a purpose - or if it's one of those unfinished features that you hoped to implement but didn't quite make.
Other than that; Pretty solid. Fun, neat.
It's a good start, you should finish it up!
The controls are a bit difficult to master due to the way you get stuck at walls --- but the game has some very neat concepts.
It's a bit hard.
Yeah, like the others; Keep practicing - if you want to make games, you'll make games. You just have to work to get there.
Was neat, the window was a bit tiny though - may be related to me having a multimonitor setup in Linux. Twinview always suck if you attempt to go in fullscreen.
This was pretty awesome. I really like the core idea of this game - especially when I understood that walking off in certain directions would turn me around 90 degrees. That was a very nice niche.
The audio was a bit unpleasant, so I turned the volume far down.
My favorite part is when ludumdare_WIN.zip contains two directories: ludumdare_MAC and __MACOSX
:)
A very good entry. A bit too hard for me, but other than that; Very good.
This was incredible.
Very nice graphics
Very good puzzles
Nice loops
This whole thing feels very polished to me.
I got the message: "We're sorry, but something went wrong." when attempting to log in.
This was excellent. There's not much more to say, really.
I don't think the game works as it should in Linux, though - all I see is a player. And it took ~1 second before it said "Dead, you scored 100 points".
Going to leave the rating empty, since I can't see any other graphics than the player itself - I consider it a game breaking bug.
Linux user here, so I can't play it.
It seems to use functions that are unimplemented in wine;
wine: Unimplemented function msvcp100.dll.?_Orphan_all@_Container_base0@std@@QAEXXZ called at address 0x7edf6cf2 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
Good start, you should finish it.
same error as edg3 --- I'm on Linux though.
Tried to run with Mono 2.8 on Linux, didn't work.
I didn't figure out how to start this.
The jnlp-file was downloaded by my browser. I attempted to open it with javaws (web start, often works) - it complains about parsing the file.
Got stuck on "Level 2" - I got 16 coins but found no way to get past the toll - or enter the closed door.
A bit trippy for my taste, but definitely pretty.
Was unable to run in Mono - would be cool with a Mono-port.
Made an attempt to run this in Linux, to no avail;

It's a very charming little game, but it's a little hard for me. I wasn't able to pass level two :P
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I feel the trailer showed off more attacks than I was able to do in the game - and I couldn't hear the sound effects that are in the trailer either.
I fixed the crashbugs and made a Windows-version and put it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1287557/dontleave.zip
I have not modified anything about the gameplay itself.
I've chosen to rate the entry in that state, so he can at least get some feedback on it.
Feedback;
This game is freaking hard, still has quite a few bugs - but I believe you've gotten a fair amount of practice out of it anyway. Keep coding!
This was excellent.
A very pretty, complete, fun game. Wouldn't be surprised to find this with a overall and/or graphics medal.
Technical:
It has a big problem with input --- I checked the source code. You can't have two SDL_PollEvent loops -- when you do PollEvent, it discards the event. Merge it into a single loop, and things will work smoothly.
The game:
I managed to both lose and win - could be an interesting turn based online game - switch the graphics to something a bit more intimidating and you'd be ready. :)
I really like the graphics, but the rest is hard to comment on - I don't know what I'm doing.
There's a lot of potential in this game - I hope you keep on pressing with those plans you mentioned.
The game eventually crashed for me, here's the Traceback;

The DNS-entry for the webserver I'm downloading this from is wrong;
s3.staticvoidgames.com is an alias for http://s3.staticvoidgames.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com.
It shouldn't have http:// in it. That's probably why webstart / applet loading fails. Downloading directly from AWS works.
Adding the following line in my hosts-file:
207.171.163.193 s3.staticvoidgames.com
Fixes a lot of problems with that website in chrome. This probably affects other people too - you should check that out.
The game:
A nice prototype - would be nice if the camera could show a bit more of the surroundings as well.
The exefile is 64 bit only, it seems?
Works fine in Linux, just start with:
# java -jar NanoQuest.jar
About the game;
Very nice graphics. Sometimes enemies appear too far to the side for me to be able to hit them - and there could have been better feedback as tcstyle already pointed out.
Definitely potential in this.
Make it possible with multiple projectiles at the same time, add a couple of additional enemy types and a boss --- and you got yourself a quite fun game.
There is potential in this, and it can become quite fun if you put a little extra work in it :)
(Also ran it on linux, java -jar tiny.jar worked fine with oracle jvm)
How do I run it?
$ java -jar homedefender-linux.jar

Some people add links for all platforms, Mac OS X / Linux, and just point it to the same file.
About the game; It's a bit difficult to rate in its current form, and you're probably aware of that. Just don't give up.
This was quite good. Only complaint I have, is that the window was a bit small.
You should make more levels for this :)
Which version of Löve have you tested with? Mine throws exceptions on me.
Conceptually, quite cool. I wish it didn't care if a tile did fit with adjent tiles or not, as in Pipes and similar games. Giving me access to the map in game would also be cool for deciding directions :)
I like this. Given some tweaks and balancing as far as speed goes, both for your character and your enemies - can make this game quite fun.
This is pretty good, but also pretty hard.
It wasn't very intuitive, which I would consider its weakness.
Overall; A pretty good job. An innovative take on the tower defense genre.
Waiting for a Windows or Linux build.
This game is very long for a LD-entry. Very well done.
Very nice graphics. Very hard.
It runs fine in Linux - first I tried running Escape.py, and I thought that I played the game then - but I feel it didn't behave the same way as jailed.py did.
Anyway; good job :)
This was nice. I didn't understand that I was supposed to mash space at first - but when that made sense, I can see the potential here.
I'd love to see a more polished and content full version of this.
This became a whole lot more interesting at the point I discovered how this all works :)
A good first entry - it has some bugs, though.
Can you compile it statically? Newest Ubuntu doesn't come with allegro5.
Extrapoints for the amount of levels. I got stuck at "It's time to thread the needle"
Good job :)
Perfect interpretation of the theme :)
You can sell this on Apple AppStore.
I want to encourage you to keep working on this - javascript / webgl are really cool things;
But you're probably aware that this needs a lot of work - especially the input.
This is a game I'm proud to have beaten. I really loved it.
Quite innovative, fun, a bit hard - but not too hard.
The Ubuntu howto:
sudo apt-get install g++ libgl1-mesa-dev libpango1.0-dev libboost-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev ruby1.8-dev rubygems
sudo gem install chingu gosu
The version of löve I had installed was too old, so the game only gave me a blank screen.
I think I beat it.
Appy 1000mg-haiku:
Excellent artwork.
Robot is sad and alone.
Excellent ending.
I love it. I would love to know how you achieved that graphical effect.
Works fine in Linux for me. Using Google Chrome in Ubuntu 10.10.
The best theme-interpretation so far in my list.
Doesn't work here.
I felt the bouncing mechanic was a bit hard to do - but I learned it in the end.
Nice physics.
I love what you've done.
I love this!
But; What DeadlyJoe is experiencing applies to me too.
I get the 3x2 set of rooms thing, too. I like your art.
LD28 — You Only Get One (27)
Mama is Sick by JaymeeMak 2013-12-22T16:44:00
This is a very sad game. It's good, but it's so depressing. I had my entire family die before me, before I managed to keep myself alive (but on the other hand, it suddenly got very easy)
0RBITALIS by AlanZucconi 2013-12-22T16:16:00
Interesting mechanic and a nice entry. A little bit hard to master the mechanic, but it's not because there's anything wrong with the design.
A great job on the graphics, too.
I like it, and I feel it's complete as it is. Thumbs up.
Lumen by Nelien 2013-12-22T16:04:00
Looks incredible, but got the better of the laptop I was testing on - so I couldn't play for too long due to overheating. But the mechanics that I got to see were very solid, and this looks incredible.
Unibrow by ViliX64 2013-12-22T15:58:00
I was two minutes late to the conference! D:
A lot of good mechanics here, and I'd love to see more of this game. However, some parts of the game were a bit mean; The parts where you lie to the player is mean in a way which differs from KPs deception game - as it's not obvious to me that it's a part of the core mechanic here. But you can still get away with it, since you don't lose a lot of time when it happens.
I'd like to see a post compo version of this.
Mayor's Holiday by Corné Dorrestijn 2013-12-22T15:34:00
Nice use of the theme, and highly humorous entry. I liked it a lot.
Cure the infected! by archaeometrician 2013-12-22T15:28:00
It was fairly easy until level 8, then it suddenly got incredibly hard. Nice little entry, not sure if it has a win condition.
Crystalline by X-0r 2013-12-22T15:15:00
Fun little game - not very touch pad friendly, but I managed to survive a few levels nonetheless. Good job!
Tiny Thor by JoeManaco 2013-12-21T16:55:00
Very fast paced game. I like it a lot. I felt that killing enemies was a bit difficult than it should have been - but the mechanics of the game was very enjoyable nonetheless.
I hope you make a full version, this is a well designed piece.
Dude, You Only Get One! by Raicuparta 2013-12-18T16:28:00
A fun little piece :)
Proper use of the theme.
Onions Only Chance by joserodolfofreitas 2013-12-17T19:53:00
I have a big problem mastering the game mechanic. I've gotten a maximum of one hit, before I do something wrong on the next one and die. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to click exactly when the ring comes in, slightly before, slightly after -- but I do know my fail rate is high - very high.
Fun esthetics, and I love the sound of the enemy.
Going Around by daredevildave 2013-12-17T19:41:00
I think this entry has it all, really. I never figured out how to dry the phone, but I believe I figured out the rest. My feedback would mostly be about small user experience things, most of which has been mentioned by others.
Very good entry.
One Shot. One Kill. by shatley123 2013-12-17T19:22:00
Hi! The Linux version is the Windows version.
Would it be possible to put the Linux export out there somewhere?
Battle of the Orange by TheThirdOne 2013-12-17T19:20:00
The graphics remind me of the C64 era. I like how the boat rocks up and down. The colission when I fight is a bit off I think -- I'd love to see a win/lose condition added to the game.
Shadow Night by ParaPup 2013-12-17T19:16:00
I explored a big part of the house, and then I got knocked around by that black thing. I don't know if there's a win condition - it's how far I got.
Yogo Grenade by jongtao 2013-12-17T18:49:00
Fun little game. I haven't seen libdumb before, so that was new to me. I got consumed around wave 25 or so - Too many bunnies.
I also enjoyed the Monty Python reference.
One Eye by kcpunk666 2013-12-17T18:10:00
I really like the game, I believe I managed to get past quite a few obstacles in the end. However, the implementation of the theme makes it a little too hard to be enjoyable in the long run - I did ragequit when I died and had to start all over after something I suspect was a pretty good run on the obstacle course.
Adding checkpoints beats the point of having 'one life' - but it would make it more enjoyable to me at least.
Adding some sort of hint at how far I've made it may change that -- as knowing that I almost beat it makes it more tempting to retry.
I hope you do more work on it.
Get over here! by Nisshoku 2013-12-16T22:05:00
I beat him in 324.05 seconds. Took a while before I understood how to use the shield. Very neat entry.
OneShot by minibutmany 2013-12-16T21:57:00
Nice little entry. I had problems beating the one with four rotating balls before I gave up. Not sure if there's a win condition, or if the levels are proceduraly made and will go on forever.
I liked how the audio worked when hitting the balls - it worked well with the music.
A bit frustrating use of the theme - restarting the entire game for one miss isn't very forgiving :)
Otzi's Last Journey by jomomomo 2013-12-16T21:51:00
Nice little entry.
Took a while before I understood that I had to use space to move -- I thought space was only to start the game.
Pretty brutal game, really - that's a lot of arrows. I'd love to see who's chasing him. I had no chance at surviving more than 2-3 flowers, so I'm not sure if there's a win condition.
I remember an exchibition about Otzi in a museum near where I live - got disappointed when I could only see Otzi on a webcam though.
You Only Get One Earth by oskardevelopment 2013-12-16T21:44:00
Some nice core concepts here. I hope you work more on it.
A bit clunky to move around - one have to right click in the middle of the cell, and if there's text rendered on top of it (like in the bottom of the screen) it wont work.
Felt that my people died too fast (The counter clearly states 8 turns before death, but it's closer to 3) - more than often I was unable to find usable resources for that unit - took a while before I found forest at all.
It would be nice if the turn ended automatically when one's out of things to move, just to add some more flow to the game. Also if it did like in Civilization, where it would select a unit for you - and you'd have to do is move the unit.
Point&Click Concept by joekinglake 2013-12-16T21:22:00
This was a nice entry.
I remember I played some flash games a few years back that were similar - where you had to solve a bunch of puzzles to get out of a room you were locked in. It's a concept that has more than enough potential to go around.
A bit short, but I'd love to see what more you can do with it.
[OBVIOUS] by hate-marina 2013-12-16T21:13:00
I bought lots of machines, they made me rich. Didn't get the hang of buy/sell.
Mikes toy by d_0o_d 2013-12-16T21:00:00
Very nice entry. I really liked the level where I hurdle myself across the gap with the hook. I'd love to see more of this.
Game froze as I beat level 5, though.
The oil eater by xrm0 2013-12-16T20:11:00
Fun little game - really hard to master, I hit a lot more rocks than oil pockets -- I tend to try to avoid everything that huddles towards me for some reason, regardless of what it is.
ACCELERally by ovenchips 2013-12-16T20:07:00
Several things I like about this entry that I want to ask you about. How is the "sort of but not really" cell shaded graphics made? I tried to look at your shaders, but I was unable to find them in the source code.
Also curious about what's used for physics.
Nice entry, played multiple runs, but never made it past 400 meters.
Wack Only One by TheSnide 2013-12-16T19:58:00
A short and sweet entry. Got 29207103 points!
I noticed that the seconds are a little short - no way this is a full minute.
Dolphin Rescue by capnramses 2013-12-16T19:54:00
I made it to level 4 before an avalanche of sharks got to me. I like it, and I like the use of shaders on the bottom (I'm assuming it is a fragment shader using time as input to move things around).
Well made entry.
