Don't Go Alone by Luthwyhn 2011-05-07T22:46:00

Sorry for the delay in getting a compiled version out, everyone! It'll unfortunately still be another couple of days :( I actually just moved to a new house this past week and don't have internet set up at the new place yet :( Hopefully by Tuesday/Wednesday.
I'm hoping, once the move nonsense is done, to go ahead and finish what I had planned for the game, in case anyone's interested. And yeah, artwork was a late priority for me, but I had hoped to make a better character that was more visible

Escape of the AMAZING TRIANGLE by zdanielz 2011-08-27T15:06:00

Lots of fun! Music reminds me of Tron, which is a nice plus.

ESCAPE by alfie275 2011-08-27T14:59:00

Pretty fun. I also encountered the error teomat described when I entered a battle within range of two guards at the same time.

Escape from the Dungeons of Dread by Momeka_ 2011-08-25T15:36:00

Very fun game, but I agree that the one-button system was an odd choice. Very good job, though!

Tall Butt by Luthwyhn 2011-08-22T02:17:00

To download:
Follow the link, then go to File -> Download Original

For the Windows version, you play the game by running TallButt.exe

If you have Python and Pygame installed, run the Source version by running TallButt.py

As mentioned, please see Rules.rtf for instructions on how to play!

Tall Butt by Luthwyhn 2011-08-22T02:58:00

Oh, and another note: The AI is pretty weak... what can you expect from something developed in such a short time? It's PARTICULARLY weak at attacking. Switch yourself to be player to and AI to player 1 for a slightly more challenging game!

Tall Butt by Luthwyhn 2011-08-29T15:11:00

James: The shrink was a last minute addition because I remembered some people still use 1024x768 and smaller resolutions >.< My girlfriend has run it on her machine without any trouble, so I assumed it was working fine for everyone else, but I'll take a look and see what I can fix; thanks for letting me know.

Cosmologicon: Yes, the game is heavily biased toward Defenders. There are some theories that perhaps the game was originally a betting game where the two players would make bets over how long it would take for the king to escape, not if he would. That being said, I find the offense has a precarious advantage if they keep the board blocked up by not killing (many) defenders. This limits the King's options, at least.

Sunrise by Miasmir 2011-08-24T17:49:00

I greatly enjoyed it, but agree that the controls become the biggest problem, and get a bit tiresome to fight against.

Tools by Sanguine 2011-08-27T15:54:00

I very much want to try this out, but can't manage to get it to download. Any help here?

Tools by Sanguine 2011-08-27T21:17:00

Aha, thanks!

Escape Velocity by Agemennon 2011-09-03T17:17:00

I'm not sure what just happened... but I won?

...andTaxes by Jiyko 2011-08-27T16:19:00

I didn't succeed at loving anyone :( But then the level speed got so fast that Death was dragged off. Forever alone. ...until eventually the level speed got so fast that I couldn't stay on the screen either, at least.

Carry Meow Home by Luthwyhn 2011-12-25T00:41:00

Benjamin: I intended to! Time limit got me bad in the sound department.

Tifu: Nope, nothing implemented to help find her - I'd originally intended to try to do something with sound for that as well, though I hadn't worked out exactly what.

Move forward by michax 2012-08-27T11:38:00

I'm winner! I managed to glitch through the house and get trapped for a while, but it's all good.

Extinction Evader by ollie 2012-08-27T11:42:00

Fun game! Also: Kitten discovered! It made me a little sad, though, because it reminded me that I forgot to put a kitten in my game :( Ah well. Good job!

Dawkemon by Luthwyhn 2012-08-27T01:54:00

To Download the entire source .zip file, go to File (Top-Left) and then Download. Or press Ctrl + S. Probably does not work in Python 3... have not tested. Let me know if there are any problems getting it to run! Enjoy!

Dawkemon by Luthwyhn 2012-08-29T11:32:00

Nope, four rooms is what I got done! Too much mechanics, not enough content. Same answer for the directional clues, basicly: When it's fleshed out it'll have much more detailed descriptions, but I just needed something fast for testing purposes. The fights aren't unwinable, though! I've seen people beat the random dude easily... just takes a little luck the first time. Dawkins has 3 level 5 dudes, though, so you'd have to level up a fair bit before you could beat him.
Thank you very much for the feedback! It's always so stressful coming back to look at my page and seeing nothing! I get worried that nobody's even looking at it.

Ethereal Plane by ManicTheNobody 2014-08-28T22:08:00

I somehow managed to win(ish) - the dude on the bottom ended up lost in an infinite white world?

2 Worlds by mrcrazyscience 2014-08-28T22:47:00

Took me about six attempts to get the snail across. Is it actually possible for him to win? I couldn't do it. Good job, y'all.

Worlds by insane66 2014-08-28T22:16:00

Excellent work, Jacob. Your art skills have already surpassed mine, and I've been making games for about twice as long as you've been alive!

Wizards Sanctum by Felmeric 2014-08-28T22:41:00

A bit buggy, and short - but I like the pimpin' wizard art!

A Major Mystery by bobismijnnaam 2014-12-09T00:05:00

Fun! I actually found it difficult to die once I was ready to stop laying though

Quantum Architect by zdonkeyx 2014-12-12T11:59:00

A bit buggy - I keep ending up walking around in empty space unable to get back onto the paths, but the idea is great, and the music gives it a nice feel.

Contact Cowboy by jrap 2014-12-10T15:11:00

Excellent job. Great graphics, solid gameplay, and really neat idea

Walk to the door by el-pepi 2014-12-09T03:05:00

Amazing job! Simple, original, and well polished. Quite possibly my favorite LD game ever. Even more amazing to hear that it's your first LD entry!

...I hope your next feels better?

Random Name Attack by bnmkt 2014-12-10T15:19:00

Great first entry. I agree with the controls/movement being a bit slow. Also I keep accidentally clicking on the name-boxes which feels a bit awkward. In terms of programmer art your ships look good, and I'm infinitely in love with procedurally/randomly generated content. I look forward to seeing your next entry!

Play with the cat by Draknek 2014-12-11T02:20:00

Instructions unclear. Cat now Chess Grandmaster.

Awesome game :)

Vacuum Attack by Pisti 2015-04-21T22:24:00

Took a bit to get the hang of the controls, but I like the idea and it's well executed.

Kindness to owls by wilverine 2015-04-21T22:18:00

I save the owls! Hooray owls!

MEnotaur by Luthwyhn 2015-08-26T03:11:00

K.Chplr: Only that building a ray-casting engine has been something I've wanted to do for a couple decades now, and I finally felt like I had a good excuse to do it :)

Small World Transport by devpaul 2017-05-20T00:40:42Z

Simple, functional mechanics. Nice art. Accidentally crashed a space ship into the World Trade Center. 8/10

Small World, Giant Steps by Knatt 2017-05-19T22:28:40Z

Liked the art a lot and the game's idea, but either I was doing something totally wrong or it's much too difficult for me. Awesome job, though :D

Pocket World by BtheDestroyer 2017-05-19T04:22:14Z

Surprising ending! I... want to know what happens if I choose to walk the other way, but I don't want to go through the whole game again. Very neat idea, but super tedious execution. The music was nice except I had to mute my speakers after about 8 minutes of it :<

Space Mailman by Kepons 2017-05-19T22:05:11Z

Wonderful game. Difficult, but fun enough to encourage me to keep trying. Only successfully managed to deliver one letter so far and I've gotta move on so I can finish rating games before time is up, but this is the first one I've played so far that I'm likely to come back to later :D

Tiny lil' Kingdom by Epicface92 2017-05-19T23:20:56Z

I like the look of it and the idea seems neat, but like others, I could not figure out how to survive. A better tutorial and more forgiving starting position would be an improvement.

All The Way Down by luthwyhn 2017-05-19T22:29:55Z

Thank you all for the feedback, it helps a lot! I do hope to come back to this game at some point and develop it further into what I'd originally had planned for it - it's so hard to make time though! Aah!~

Hot Day by oab 2017-05-19T23:54:01Z

Cute and simple, I love it

Operation: Small World by mikethewayne 2017-05-20T00:02:04Z

Got lost in endless tunnel, accidentally walked straight through a wall and crashed the game. I like the premise and the elaborate intro, but I wish the gameplay had a bit more substance. Good job, though :D

Rainy by Andrey Voznuyk 2017-05-19T22:58:57Z

Simple and fun. I liked the weird effect of the tails dragging as you circle the planet.

Diminshing World by Joyfulxp 2017-05-20T00:46:13Z

Nice game. I first had some trouble getting it to fit on my screen resolution, but once I solved that it was pretty good. Controls could use some ironing out - I found myself intentionally glitch-jumping up the side walls to avoid trying to deal with platforms. The core gameplay is there, though. Keep it up!

Bee World by InaBox 2017-05-19T22:21:21Z

Got exploded by a mummy-bee. Good fun :D

My Name is Bunny by AlexClay 2017-05-19T22:55:31Z

But if I stole a jacket, why couldn't I live in the South Pole? ;_; Great game :D

Finitely Big by gemcc 2017-05-20T01:08:18Z

I believe in Geoff.

Repeat by Maelstroon 2017-05-19T22:25:33Z

The art is super wonderful. Really liked the feel of all the world elements. Good job :D

LD38 - A small world by wobbleboxx 2017-05-19T22:19:14Z

Didn't notice the help button the first time I played and I was totally lost. Second time was a bit better, but I still did quite poorly. I feel like this game would be much more playable on a touch screen, perhaps, but it was crazy hectic for me and I could never manage to get past the 3rd level. Good job!

CORO by sunnray 2017-05-20T00:52:19Z

I like the visuals a lot. The eating thing seemed either buggy or to involve a mechanic that I couldn't figure out as a player. Fun little game overall :D

Planet Jumper by Firephoenix 2017-05-19T23:10:15Z

Simple fun is the best fun, especially for LD. Good job :D

Recognition by maysick 2017-05-19T22:42:33Z

Very fun game, and the artwork is wonderful.

Cats Can Do That by crazyrems 2017-08-18T07:41:09Z

Buttered-toast/Cat engines as a game is wonderful. Great idea, great implementation. Good job :)

Nightwalk by sreal 2017-08-18T06:20:54Z

Oh, so this is what they mean by "walking simulator". :) I enjoyed it, for what it is. Might be something you could develop further by adding levels with different things to not walk into and the likes.

Power Ring Facility by Herman Chau 2017-08-18T06:18:04Z

My favorite game so far for this LD. Nice difficulty curve for such a simple mechanic, which is a sign of very skillful level design :)

Sarlacc Dungeon by luthwyhn 2017-08-02T04:22:20Z

Yeah, for sure. Graphical flourishes like that are important. Unfortunately when you only have 20 hours or so, they're much lower on the priority list than getting the game functional :)

Sarlacc Dungeon by luthwyhn 2017-08-05T10:07:57Z

@daniel - I've tried disabling aliasing in previous projects and not been successful. I was under them impression at the time that it might have been something not yet properly supported by the browser. This was several years ago, now, so has it improved? Or do you know how I can go about doing this? Thanks! :D

@linky439 - Thank you! Yeah, hopefully I'll have time for sound in the next one. I also had more variety of encounters and items planned (you were supposed to actually be able to find and equip weapons and defenses!), but ran out of time before they could be implemented.

Berzerk Hunt by TheFunAttic 2017-08-20T11:16:22Z

One of my favorites from this LD. Good job :D

Party Island by StevyGee 2017-08-19T06:09:11Z

The audio was certainly a nice surprise. All around playable game, though very easy once you understand how it works.

Lifeforce Deathrun by GanbareGamesKyle 2017-08-18T06:33:28Z

Someone else already said it, but: Nice Ikaruga vibe to the experience, and nice artwork. Very fun little game :)

TorNado by Igor KinGamer 2021-05-16T13:05:37Z

I really liked the foreground/background mechanic. The first time I went off the edge I was very confused about why I was small, but once I understood what was going on it was super neat.

Buried Deep by masterkrepta 2021-05-16T18:38:14Z

Sorry you got hit hard by the vax, but... congrats on the vax! Also on the game! I rescued them all, which means it's more winable than my game lol. I agree with the general consensus that the accelleration on the jetpack was a little low and some direction indicators for the miners would have helped a lot.

Deep Space by Neowedge 2021-05-15T23:49:38Z

Enjoyed the core gameplay. The difficulty seemed to ramp up very suddenly around the 3rd level

Daré Fortress by luthwyhn 2021-04-26T23:28:53Z

@Anon - Never claimed it was a fun one, lol. Not one of my better LD entries for sure.

@shigor - Yes, I hope to come back in the next day or two and post a Windows executable and instructions. I had to submit what I had a bit early and run some errands and mow the lawn before it got dark, and I've been at work all day today. Thanks for trying though. Check out Nim some time, it's a great language ;)

@arnold-990 - I was so preoccupied with whether or not I could, I didn’t stop to think if I should.

@kraemahz - Yay! Thanks for trying it out. Probably it ends because you run out of food/ale lol. Definately wish I'd had time to finish the ending screen with that kind of feedback.

Daré Fortress by luthwyhn 2021-04-29T01:07:41Z

@shigor Windows .exe has been added :)

Daré Fortress by luthwyhn 2021-05-01T15:07:47Z

Ooh, would love to see a screenshot of the crash @sacredbacon; I was under the impression that it was reasonably stable lol (though I guess I haven't actually played the Windows version at all)

@uc101 Thanks!

@tezza48 I'm still unsure if I'll do more with it, lol, but if I do end up doing more I'll let you know :D

Daré Fortress by luthwyhn 2021-05-16T12:35:19Z

@toppervideogames Thanks!

@udo2 Yeah, absolutely would have improved the reporting if I hadn't run out of time. I don't think it's very navigable in the current form.

@zimny11 WARSIM is so good! Definately was part of my inspiration here as well. There's absolutely no balance in this thing lol, I was just making up number as I went and had no time to go back and adjust them.

@nonumbersgames It sounds like when you play it from the exe you don't get to see the final output and so any lose condition probably looks like a crash. Not that I was reporting a lot of useful information lol, but at least it told you the game was over.

Daré Fortress by luthwyhn 2021-05-16T14:38:31Z

@nonumbersgames Sounds like I'm not resetting my consumption counter. I'll check it out, thanks!

Daré Fortress by luthwyhn 2021-05-16T15:54:39Z

@hermitao Thanks for the feedback! I absolutley love programming in Nim so far, but I haven't had a chance to figure out any of the graphics libraries yet lol. Sure, I'll check yours out! I know it's a lot harder for people to get ratings these days when their game can't be played in-browser :(

Tiny Dungeon by Swen 2021-05-01T12:47:24Z

My best run was to floor 6 by just dodging all the enemies lol. Fun game :)

In the Hole by Kramdar 2021-05-16T17:54:15Z

Solid game. I was about to quit, thinking the punchline was "digging your way out of debt is actually impossible" but then I managed to pull through and was amazed to see that you were just as surprised as me lol

a.PNG

Alaiya by Hermitao 2021-05-16T16:06:25Z

Things got a lot better when I noticed the mouse sensitivity control on the main screen. Very satisfying to swing around, but I constantly found myself want to be able to pull myself toward the points. I couldn't really go back upward, so when I inevitably missed the islands I had no way to get back up to the to land and look around.

Freefall by timujin 2021-05-16T19:36:09Z

The controls seemed like they could be tweaked a bit for more fluid, less tedious play, but I really liked the dynamic stages

Archeo by zimny11 2021-05-16T01:58:36Z

Got my score up into the 10k range but I think at that point it was actually bordering on impossible to increase my overall score with the rate my time was decreasing. Also my hand was cramping up, lol! Great game!

Go next in Hell by dfkgjndljf 2021-05-16T19:20:49Z

I guess it's more like a visual novel, but as I can't read Russian it's hard to know exactly what the story is. Wonderful artwork though, and good music.

To Mine Own Craft Be True by dphrygian 2021-05-16T00:41:07Z

Really lovely. Nostalgic vibe of my ZZT and Kroz childhood, but with a nice, deep vibe. I appreciate that it eventually told me I could quit lol

Afraid to Turn by rhoff95 2021-05-16T16:28:22Z

Loved it. I was so upset when a wolf ate one of my berries and then I was 1 short for my potion D:

Subminer by madelfino 2021-05-16T19:25:50Z

Loved the pickaxe torpedos lol

The Deepest Space by Robotex 2021-05-01T13:32:07Z

Yay! Made it, without ever picking up a fuel tank :D

Way Down We Go by Slowfrog Again 2021-05-16T15:31:43Z

Was hoping there would be a secret achievement forgoing to space lol. Great little game

Asteroid Mining Operations by glcoder 2021-05-16T18:29:08Z

I'm Winrar! Definately a good core idea. Would love to see upgrades and whatnot.

Project Achelois by DzejPi 2021-05-01T13:06:36Z

Fun game, I liked Sam's commentary. As others have mentioned, it was too dark and hard to tell if you were moving. I enjoyed the ending, and the fact that I could beat it without having to shoot anybody.

I'm So Deep by liammasters 2021-05-16T01:27:11Z

1.PNG 2.png

HELL deep is your love? by Villanelle 2021-05-16T17:02:34Z

Execellent work! Very fun gameplay, tight controls, and jumping off those inclines was super fun! It was a bit disappointing not to actually see Elizabeth at the end though lol

The Chimney by Michael Grieshofer 2021-05-01T12:38:17Z

Ran out of ammo before the first boss thing and then just kept respawning without ammo, so I couldn't get past him. Otherwise, pretty fun. The aim mechanic took some getting used to.

Earth Cannon地球大炮 by Elmando2333 2021-05-16T19:01:51Z

Really neat idea for a game; now I need to track down the story you based it on! :D

CRAB IS INEVITABLE! by luthwyhn 2022-04-04T14:31:55Z

@cerno-b Yeah, adding more enemy types and difficulty balancing were still on my todo list when time ran out lol @balgorode Oh no, he's supposed to come back! I'll try to release a bug fix version later today lol

CRAB IS INEVITABLE! by luthwyhn 2022-04-04T14:50:48Z

@balgorode one-character bug lol. I had a * instead of a + when calculating how long for him to return... so he comes back but it might take an hour or three lol. I'll post the fix shortly.

CRAB IS INEVITABLE! by luthwyhn 2022-04-04T21:57:28Z

@tengusheath This bug has already been corrected in the Bug Fix version; sorry about that!

Priestess of Larak by Alex Mulkerrin 2022-04-09T19:52:00Z

Always love a good Hamurabi game. Good job!

MAGICAL JUGGLER EXTRAORDINAIRE by benskca 2022-04-09T20:04:36Z

Really liked that the different spells allowed for different play-styles. Fire was hilariously strong.

twicoban by mgmarlow 2022-04-21T01:29:20Z

Very fun!

Clickity Clackity, this is a Strawberry! by Frankey333 2022-04-13T21:31:04Z

Absolutely love a cute tower defense. Like the randomness of the upgrade options. #CrabGang

Try to Die of Old Age by Dennis Magnusson 2022-04-09T20:43:26Z

Very fun; took a lot of tries to learn the patterns for this geriatric old man, but I eventually made it through. Really appreciated the humor.

Tumbles of Hanoi by luthwyhn 2022-10-02T20:33:24Z

I had 9% battery left when I submitted this lol

Tumbles of Hanoi by luthwyhn 2022-10-03T14:15:12Z

Thanks for the feedback! If I ever get power back I'll check on the embedded and try to see why it's not working.

Bat Burglar by bradur 2023-05-13T20:18:33Z

Great game... why couldn't the bat fly though? >.<

Royal Capital Dark Store by kiv 2023-05-13T21:24:31Z

caaaaaaaaaaat

Speedy Delivery by luthwyhn 2023-05-13T18:15:18Z

@sleepystudios if you get stuck on anything you can press the wave button; all collision detection is disable while waving, so you can get unstuck

Kirk's Food Delivery Game by HacksawUnit 2023-05-07T21:24:49Z

Very fun game, and now I want a vegan key lime pie!

Idle Deliveries by justking144 2023-05-13T20:05:37Z

Love roguelikes, hate-love clickers... this is wonderful. Great job!

Cuckoo Delivery by Tomeyro 2023-05-13T21:10:36Z

Had fun honking and still managed to get an A rank. Great game.

Broken News by Noobot9k 2023-05-13T21:13:01Z

Fun game, love the graphics except that I got sad when the dog exploded

Daily-very by Fersyvanderzee 2023-05-10T17:46:00Z

Nice game. Great music. Would have been much more challenging if there were a couple more different types of items.

In Defense of Pickles by Mavvy 2023-05-07T21:54:44Z

Really fun for the first couple minutes; I wish it got harder or had an ending of some sort. Got over 5000 points before I just let them kill me. Loved the groovy music.

Shelly's Delivery by arachnid56 2023-05-07T15:50:34Z

Very cute artwork. I like turtles. Would have been nice to have some visual to indicate the package had been delivered.

Catnip Caper by ShatteredMindofBob 2023-05-07T21:13:51Z

Any completed game is a success! Good job! A winner is YOU!

Slalom Pizza Delivery Service by SpeakWithPlants 2023-05-13T19:42:54Z

Great graphics, the game was a bit too hard for me though. Some sort of notification for where the next house will be would have helped a lot; I missed most of them completely. Finished with 0 points multiple times lol

HUEBER by Wrong Timeline 2023-05-07T20:31:11Z

Like @evilscotsman, the green house on the last tutorial level seems bugged for me or I'm misunderstanding something. Otherwise it's really fun!

Isles Express by Cinterre 2023-05-01T16:15:20Z

Very nice game! It got a bit easier after I realized I could intentionally loop around the screen to get places.

Poppycock's Perfect Packages by Blaah Blaah 2023-05-01T16:19:51Z

Awesome entry!
