LD26 — Minimalism

Schrodinger by myachin 2013-05-15T21:59:00

Amazing game - Especially liked the soundtrack!

Tune Locks by Phased 2013-05-17T15:17:00

f7f5: Just goto res/Settings.txt and change 1.0725 to 1,0725
Save and enjoy :)
Nice entry by the way, but the controls need finetuning since it's hard to get exactly between two blocks.

Escape Shaft by Zathalos 2013-05-16T15:08:00

Also escaped alive. Loved it!

Minimal Deathmatch by xgeovanni 2013-05-15T23:21:00

Plays OK, but it needs borders and I swear the controls locked in two times. Couldn't move left or right then. A solid entry.

... by Dir3kt 2013-05-15T21:36:00

This is amazing. Had to play until the end. Thank you. Also for the bonus stage :D

Circles by Are 2013-05-18T22:27:00

Nice concept! I'd like to move my emitters after I placed them, to experiment. At this moment I have to do it over and over if I'm only 2 pixels of.

Rainbow Rocket by Zccc 2013-05-04T15:28:00

If you get a hang of the controls it's really great. Loved the artwork!

Orb by Grouflon 2013-04-30T22:43:00

Loved playing this. It's really beautiful and entertaining. 5 out of 5 from here too. Everything fits perfectly together.

*Humorous Title!* by Graf_Grun 2013-05-20T10:54:00

Addictive! Thanks :)

Shape Attack by Krise20 2013-05-15T21:21:00

Liked the concept, missed more forms and something like a spawn protection since it happens that you or your enemies spawn directly in each other. Still a nice entry :)

Pink Haze by jwin 2013-05-18T11:40:00

Loved it. Everything. Well, except that I'd prefer to pick/aim myself. But that's me ;)

CHAMELEON RUN by Split82 2013-05-04T12:05:00

Nice visuals, fluid gameplay, nice soundtrack. Who needs more? Great work!

Uchu Zero by lexaloffle 2013-04-30T22:24:00

Easy to understand - hard to master. Lovely.

Dropblocks by Doctor Broccoli 2013-05-15T23:10:00

Gorgeous graphics, nice game play. I would've loved a mode where you can cut off pieces of the level until you die. The only thing missing was the sound ;)

Frame Aim by Symmeteer 2013-05-15T21:05:00

7 bounces - great idea, especially for 2h!

Fisherdude by nathanj439 2013-05-04T15:50:00

8150! Got nearly every of those green small fish. Nice entry!

SlaughterNet by Lunchington 2013-05-19T00:12:00

Not bad, but not enough bullet pickups and the movement gets laggy after some time. Also some enemies wont move if too many are on the screen.

Dragon Drop by Tom 7 2013-05-15T21:48:00

So much to explore...nice entry!

Mouser by Ideae 2013-05-19T00:24:00

Nice Game, but you kinf of forgot the game over screen! I played to -7 lives :P

Save the Potato, Save the world. by JohnnySix 2013-05-04T19:53:00

One of the best I've played so far! Love the art & music package.

Single-button Survivor by meszka 2013-05-18T11:50:00

57 kills! Innovative controls! :)

QbQbQb by rezoner 2013-04-29T19:33:00

Just - Wow. Everything fits perfectly. Loving it!

hru by gilmore606 2013-05-04T21:35:00

Fun, good looking & sounding, relaxing. That's a great mix you got here! Loving it.

Pursuit of Happiness by paranoiks 2013-05-02T20:57:00

I'll play this again before the next LD ;) Thank you for this piece!

WORDHUNTER by gerritg 2013-05-02T20:10:00

Thanks for the feedback so far! I'll look into the posted issues and publish a fixed version. Maybe next week. I have some word for a couple of things:

- Words: Getting a word IS really hard. The idea was, that words are mixed up and spawned. I didn't finish that function so everything is random. Which makes it really hard to get a word sometime. It's like playing scrabble and everything you have is ZYYXZSQQO.
- Words Part II: I used a list of the 1000 most common used words and I'm not satisfied with that solution as there are missing a LOT of good & often used words. Maybe I should have used the top 10.000 ;)
- OSX error: No clue. Sound's like a mismatch of a lib. I'll look into that.
- Multiplayer: Sure. But first: Bug fixing, more enemies, joypad support.

WORDHUNTER by gerritg 2013-05-15T14:21:00

@kddekadenz
The generic JAR >should< also work on *nix systems (java -wordhunter.jar). The dotSH was made with jarsplice - seems like the only thing that works out of the box are the jars itself.

@angelk
Completing a word is as easy as pressing the right mouse button. But in some cases it still won't register a word since it only knows 10k.

@Cake&Code
After changing the spawn cache in the post-LD version it's easier to get a word. But for the full version (if I ever get to that) I'll include a lot more words. That's for sure :) Thanks for the links!

You Must Escape by GertJohnny 2013-05-04T21:31:00

Awesome indeed!

Ellipse Madness by shaircast 2013-05-16T15:01:00

I don't feel that good right now, but congrats on your entry!

CLRS by acatcalledfrank 2013-05-02T20:33:00

Really nice entry. The mixing part also got me by surprise :)

Tubulance by merteor 2013-05-16T15:11:00

Wow, now this is fun. One of my favorites this LD.

PRISMA by Dark Acre Jack 2013-05-04T15:45:00

Very intuitive. Loved the audio :)

We Dreamers by stevejohnson 2013-05-02T20:46:00

Now that's a fun guestbook :D

ZIN by fierysquirrel 2013-05-18T22:13:00

Wow, nice one. Loved it!

RogueOut by badlydrawnrod 2013-05-02T21:13:00

Loved it. Plays way smoother than it looks at first ;)

METROCRAFT by gregdevice 2013-05-04T21:25:00

A crossover of minecraft and pov? Thank you! The only thing I'm not comfortable with, is the time limit. But that's just me. I just love to take time in games. One of the best I've played yet. I'd love to see a post-compo version with a puzzle mode.

PS: If you don't know pov: http://futrellsoftware.com/pov.php
I don't know if there's something like that for windows too. A shame that it's not cross platform.

Your Efforts are in Vain by BarrensZeppelin 2013-05-15T23:34:00

You can almost feel the falling speed. Nice one. Quite addictive!
