LD27 — 10 Seconds

Biform by Reevezy 2013-08-25T03:44:00

Great entry! I just suck at gaming...

LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen

Political Tower Defense Game by McNick 2014-12-09T18:57:00

Graphics aren't great, the gameplay element isn't quit solidified. But I love the political idea of this. I'm quite interested in politics, so this gave me a good laugh! Nice going

OMNI by Noah Ratcliff 2014-12-09T19:31:00

Great use of the theme. Loved the art, and the music rocked. I found it a bit tricky to control the screen with its momentum, but that's cause I'm a bad gamer! Nice work

Sunshine Apartments by Alan Masimba Walker 2014-12-09T23:53:00

Added in a mirror for downloads for anyone experiencing a problem.

The Robot Gardener of Donut Planet by racebennon 2014-12-09T18:51:00

I really enjoyed the graphics in this game. And game idea wise, I could clearly see what you were driving at. Unfortunately your introduction screen doesn't offer much direction, and it seems that the gameplay isn't quite there. My friend commented on a sense of motion sickness going into this, but I didn't experience this. Nice entry though!

neven by igoramendola 2014-12-09T19:58:00

Hard, but fun. I got to a score of 30! Proud of myself. Loved the sound effects. Loved your art style. Really simple concept, that works really well! Nice going.

Blackout by kaa 2014-12-09T19:10:00

Honestly, you guys did an awesome job. Really really awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of these 2 powers, one lights up but only for a flash. And the move one, that could be good or bad depending on where you landed. The voice was epic. Loved it.

Smash N Bash by 5k0d 2014-12-09T18:34:00

It's a cool game with nice ideas. The shop had a bug for me where I could infinitely buy upgrades without the needed coins. - @Foxelbox

Summoned by jelly 2014-12-09T19:03:00

An overly frustrating game had it not been for the pull platforms key! That was a great feature! I really enjoyed that. The art gave me a bit of a headache, but I liked the main character. Really great way to add a twist to a genre. Nice going!

Steve's First Adventure by CurlyFries 2014-12-09T02:57:00

Well, I'm glad to see you two finished. Never made a game before and you did that. Well done lads!

LD33 — You are the Monster

Royal Jelly Roller by BNeutral 2015-08-26T06:53:00

The slime is adorable, and the platforming is fun and strategic. The player feels a bit heavy though, and the momentum is a bit slow at times. I really liked the shields and swords c:

Eyewall by SaintHeiser 2015-08-26T05:12:00

Absolutely beautiful art style for a game, quirky and clunky controls which hinder my ability to play but clearly add some difficulty to this and a soundtrack that blew me away and made me just want to leave the game open and dance! Really well done!

Stallman Quest by n42k 2015-08-26T20:36:00

There are a lot of random things that you can die from. This'd be fine, but it takes a bit too long to restart. A near instant respawn would be welcome. There isn't much visual feedback to the explosions, maybe some screenshake? Otherwise the company-critical messages and the gameplay were mildly amusing, if not anything I'd play for long.

Darklord by lightsoda 2015-08-26T20:43:00

There isn't really much strategy here, I never had to use the more expensive units. The pathfinding seems to get stuck a lot, especially with slower units. No direct control over your units means that the easiest way to win is to flood the board with units and hope that they'll make it to the heroes.

Monsta Stelth Gem by Alan Masimba Walker 2015-08-26T00:37:00

@S0lll0s yeah sorry about that, we're going to fix the game crashing bug

Monsta Stelth Gem by Alan Masimba Walker 2015-08-26T21:56:00

We'll be releasing a more updated version on Itch. This version will contain audio, more levels and it will be less punishing in terms of games design... Or maybe we'll keep that element cause it seems to make people keep trying

Kaiju Simulator by martymon 2015-08-26T06:31:00

Like being on LSD. 5/5 for all. Best.

The Monster Within by S0lll0s 2015-08-26T20:53:00

I tried playing it with two playstyles, the evil and the good way. Playing evil doesn't really have much challenge, as you can just kill everyone and hope you get a high score. Playing good is really slow, you have to wait for the beast mode to run out to make sure you only kill the red people. Graphics and sounds are neat and suitable to the theme.

SLIME CHRONICLE - "Wait, I get to be the hero!?" by CornflowerBlue 2015-08-26T21:29:00

Turns take quite a bit to complete, as every animation is accompanied with an odd pause. There isn't much strategy to it, since there are only two things you can do (three if you count potions). A lot of the time you just need to keep attacking and drink potions when one of your crew gets low on HP. The between-matches lounge is a bit weird, you have to use the keyboard for this bit while everything else is mouse controlled. Apart from clunkiness, this game is appealing and addicting, since new heroes are given randomly.

Sucker Punch by Shaw 2015-08-26T05:53:00

5 stars for all. I clicked so hard I got a Repetitive Strain Injury...

Mr. Yeti's Fast Food by Balzaque 2015-08-26T22:26:00

This is honestly perhaps the most fun LD game I've played to date. The yeti has to gather up momentum, but it's still relatively easy to control and ends up creating an amazingly fun challenge. The relatively close camera adds to the feeling of you actually being a starving yeti chasing skiiers in a hurry. The graphics are simple, adorable and all-around lovely to look at, the music and sounds are cheerful, wintery and really suit the game well. Amazing job! C:

Of Glorious Nation by Xinelu 2015-08-26T05:31:00

Took a while to get anything to happen, it seems to take a few tries to get to the RTS part. When I got into the RTS portion, the tanks seemed to get stuck behind invisible walls, seemingly making it impossible to continue. A bit more extensive a tutorial would be really helpful.

Village Mayhem by Windmill Games 2015-08-26T22:07:00

The aiming takes a bit of getting used to and even then didn't really click with me, but other than that, it's really amazing. The graphics are appealing, but the villagers are a bit hard to distinguish from the background sometimes. The extra skills are fun to use and add to the fast paced gameplay really well!

Internship Adventure by dancingmad 2015-08-26T19:20:00

Really, really loved the concept, dialogue and gameplay of this! Well done!

Anxiety : Last Night by Maxi and The Gang 2015-08-26T05:27:00

Loved the art. Loved the sounds. Creepy as hell.

TÜKTÜKTÜK by coded_ninja 2015-08-26T19:32:00

Getting stuck on buildings and trees was a bit irritating, I got killed a few times by a bomb spawning on top of me. Otherwise the simple mechanics work and the graphics are appealing too.

Monsters by Alexander Ramsay-Baggs 2015-09-06T15:18:00

Unfortunately the game wouldn't even let me press play or quit, so I haven't had the opportunity to even play.

Mechacorico by Moee 2015-08-26T20:08:00

It seemed really hard to avoid getting hit, even with the shield. The enemies also seem to lob knives through walls and from offscreen. The theme is really cool though, and the chickens are adorable! Neat game overall c:

Monster can-can by nassi 2015-08-26T20:58:00

While the gameplay is really simplistic and doesn't have much going for it, it looks appealing and smashing space to see a soda can fountain shoot higher is strangely fun.

Car of Monster by Alsatian Studio 2015-08-26T19:47:00

The car felt really heavy, and couldn't pick up too much momentum. Some kind of powersliding mechanic would've been nice. Even so, it was fun to knock people around and about. It was a bit unclear as to when a person would be 'out', sometimes they dissappeared in the middle of the road and sometimes they got up near the restaurant after being knocked a massive distance there. It would've been nice to have a restaurant health meter on the screen to let me know how close I was to losing. Other than that, really fun for a bit! c:

Power Lich by rattower 2015-08-26T04:54:00

Really enjoyed this. It's a bit simplistic but I understand the restraints of a jam. It's something I was easily able to find funny and enjoyable.

Woodland Therapy by TEAM-TIGER 2015-08-27T00:48:00

There isn't much challenge here. I was expecting a bit more typing. The graphics are cute, even though the blood splatters don't seem to fit in with the rest of the assets.

KidsGrace by Polith Games 2015-08-26T06:39:00

The animations were great and cheerful, I love how unenthusiastic the dancer gets with lower rankings. The gameplay gets repetitive pretty fast though.

AM I? by DruhinM 2015-08-26T05:01:00

Wish the lowering of health by colliding with things was less a focus and the game was more centred around being a reckless drunkard

The Alchemist by SKT 2015-08-26T22:43:00

The player moves a bit slow, and not being able to stop mid-jump makes the jumps behave a bit oddly. Attacking also has a somewhat short range, which makes fighting enemies a bit awkward. The upgrades spice up the game well, and it's visually appealing.

Loading Complete by Nembo 2015-09-06T15:37:00

Really would have loved this to be longer, but it is hilarious. The scrolling text made my day, and the size of the fist you throw is insane! Nice job.

I'm a Monster Rawr! by bakakyo 2015-08-26T04:45:00

Quite a light-hearted and cute take on the Ludum Dare theme! I would like to see the monster do more, but the sound effects, music and artwork added a happy feeling to the game!

Tales of the Memory Dragon by raducumiczzz 2015-08-26T05:33:00

Nice relaxing music & audio and a bit of a quirky gameplay concept. I liked this, and also well done for this as a first entry. You should be extremely proud!

Lights Out by Steven Miller 2015-08-26T05:43:00

Nice game. It has simple and easy to pick up gameplay. The loopable music gets a bit annoying however...

Nightmare on "The Cookies" street by BarrelGames 2015-08-26T06:35:00

A bit unsure of what was going on but the audio was awesome, graphics were spoopy

You Are The Monster by Snack 2015-08-26T06:34:00

The controls were a bit hard to grasp and I couldn't properly figure out what to do, even though I got through a few of the fights. The graphics were appealing though.

GameApi chess by terop2 2015-08-26T20:13:00

So yes, it's chess with a limited feature set (no turn order, no win condition). The graphics style is interesting though. The square selection seems to go off kilter when moving towards the top of the board.

Motherflipin' T-Rex! by mantis 2015-08-26T05:04:00

Really good fun for the few moments it lasts. It seemed a bit too easy but then again, I don't think these villagers were prepared for a giant T-Rex, even with all of their tanks ;>
