LD27 — 10 Seconds

SILX by alvivar 2013-08-27T07:24:00

It feels pretty fun! While I was playing I was wondering where the 10 seconds bit was but then I read your post. Bouncing about is great, a few small things:
I'm not a PC gamer but with needing mouse, WASD and space all at once I felt like I needed 3 hands.
Also the shooting areas seem bit far away from eachother

If you could take a look at my game I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

The Super Fair Trial Show by Gabriel 2013-08-27T07:15:00

Wow! This is awesome, feels like one of the more complete games I've seen. If you could take a look at my game I'd really appreciate it!

Arson Investigator by Josh Riley 2013-08-26T03:39:00

I really like these Where's Wally/Waldo type games. Yours is no exception!

Fun Little Dollies by Shugor 2013-08-27T07:45:00

Yay! A more interesting use of the theme awesome! I also tried to incorporate 10 seconds in multiple ways (in my game weapons have a 10 sec timer but you're also stopping fat people reaching 10 second helpings) so really appreciate what you did there! All in all pretty cool and visuals are great, have you played "Stacking"?

10 Second Defender by boddiul 2013-08-27T07:14:00

Really cool, congrats! If you could take a look at my game I'd really appreciate it

Protozoa by Pumkin 2013-08-27T07:33:00

Very well presented, simplistic yet addictive gameplay. Good job! My only little complaint is one I've made a fair bit so far. The gameplay concept of doing x in 10 seconds seems t be the least imaginative way to use the theme. Still great though

Rude Bear Radio by Alex Rose 2013-08-27T07:55:00

I'd normally say that I think the do x in 10 seconds isn't really stretching the theme but this is too awesome to complain! If you could take a look at my game I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

Cedarville by BenWhi 2013-08-26T03:02:00

Really nice although for me the consequences seem a bit too random, I get that you're forcing the player to make out of context decisions but there's less weight if you have no clue what's going on. Also the whole countdown on a choice is fairly common in games nowadays so it doesn't feel like you stretched the theme.

Overall though I really like it, great sense of atmosphere and strangely pleasing visuals

10 Second shooting by Pikkufighter 2013-08-27T07:41:00

Do x in 10 seconds seems like a pretty easy way to implement the theme. It also needs to communicate what is going on a bit better, overall though it's pretty solid.

If you could take a look at my game I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

Cloud Gazer by Simulacrum 2013-08-26T03:30:00

Pretty cool, I really dig the visuals and music. The idea itself is pretty quirky and fun.

I agree it ends abruptly, my main concern is the implementation of the theme, the do/decide x in 10 seconds is very common. That said there's nothing wrong with that formula.

If you could take a look at my game that would be fantastic :D /shameless_plug

10 Second Crawl by Twistedsnail 2013-08-26T03:17:00

I really like it, best I've tried actually, everything feels mainly solid so my complaints are minor.
Firstly it feels a bit cheap that the slugs's sight seems greater than yours and they can shoot you before you see them.

Secondly once you collect your first chest the theme seems a bit redundant as the timer is now some arbitrary number. Honestly though even I think this is a pretty daft complaint as you still start with 10 seconds but maybe something to think about

If you could take a look at my game I'd be really grateful :)

Spirit of the Maze Journey by kulhajs 2013-08-27T07:51:00

Really pleasant looking, fun too! I really like it. Well done! If you could take a look at my game I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

LD28 — You Only Get One

Lost In Transmission by mtrc 2013-12-16T08:38:00

It looks good, sounds good and plays well. Very cool :D

Sixteen in One by zatyka 2013-12-21T21:46:00

This is great, I appreciate the use of the theme especially. Good job :D

JumpMan by LevelUpJordan 2013-12-16T16:54:00

Okay, I might have made this a bit a hard :P

The Wizard's Quest by zebi24 2013-12-16T16:14:00

I love the wizard character, he looks like something out of South Park :P Anyway, congrats. It's pretty fun

One For All & All For One by BlazingFanfish 2013-12-21T21:47:00

I really like this, great job :)

Torch Quest by qbicfeet 2013-12-16T12:21:00

This is awesome. That is all :)

Don One goes to space. by alvarop 2013-12-16T16:18:00

I like this, pretty funny! Gameplay is a bit standard though

Kung Fu Star by Parasyte 2013-12-21T21:49:00

This is one of the most aesthetically pleasing games I've played, it's mechanically solid too :)

Serious Surgery by FrozenCow 2013-12-16T07:15:00

I love this! Congrats :D

LD35 — Shapeshift

Amoebattles by LevelUpJordan 2016-04-20T09:22:00

Any criticism/feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for checking out the game

Amoebattles by LevelUpJordan 2016-04-20T09:57:00

Not sure if there's a nicer way to respond to people than just a separate comment, so here goes:

thegooffromspace: The laser is definitely underpowered, I didn't really get much time to balance it I'm afraid.

Arcade mode isn't endless, it should end after wave 20. It's all about score, the punishment for getting hit is your multiplier resetting. I feel like forcing you to restart is unnecessary.

As Chaos is endless lives (or a time limit) become necessary so that's why it's like that.

The Tortoise and the Hare and the Snake by Charzendat 2016-04-20T08:49:00

I like it, although for me the start screen felt a bit too cluttered. I had to strain to read how to play, minor complaint but thought it was worth mentioning.

Good job.

Alien Antiquarian invades Human Party by chriiis88 2016-04-20T08:56:00

I'm just echoing other people's comments but I really like the shapeshifting animation. The huge variety in detail in the art is pretty offputting though, which is a shame.

InfinityDrop by EpiFouloux 2016-04-20T10:09:00

Big fan of this one. I'd prefer it if the plus and minus blocks were more distinct though.

I can tell the difference, but it was a bit of a struggle and maybe more so for colourblind people?

Elemental Shifters by ObsessiveNotion 2016-04-20T09:34:00

I really like this game, although changing to the shape/type I wanted was more difficult than I'd like.

I'm not sure if it's meant to be part of the difficulty, but remembering the order the shapes spawn incorrectly, pressing space one too many times and having to cycle through again was frustrating. It didn't help that the shapeshift wasn't as immediate/responsive as I'd like (though that is probably down to my rickety laptop).

I would've liked some on screen visual representation of the cycle, maybe instead of just showing the current elements all 4 could be shown but the inactive 3 at a lower opacity, I don't know.

That's my only criticism though, as I said I enjoyed this entry.

PS Thanks for checking out my game!
