LD26 — Minimalism

The Minimalist by MalphasWats 2013-05-02T08:19:00

Thanks for the comments. The concept drifted away from what I originally wanted to do as I realised almost immediately that I was going to be way more limited for time (changing nappies, feeding babies and what not) that I had hoped!

I agree that the different 'modes' ended up being a little pointless, I had wanted to develop them further but wasn't entirely sure how to. Bit of a shame really.

Thanks.

Also, I still need to write this up properly, but I found that building the project on my iPad really reduced my scope - there were things I think I might have done on a desktop that I just couldn't generate the enthusiasm for because I knew they would be really fiddly to get working right on my iPad - you have to keep everything in your head because you can't just stick up another window alongside what you're doing to refer to!

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Multiverse: Connected Universes by Oana 2014-08-26T09:48:00

I liked this - simple but brain smashingly difficult (at least, I thought it was - thanks for ruining my dreams of being a space-captain...) :)

A super bass-pumping techno soundtrack would have been awesome, but sound is hard, music is even harder! :)

I really liked this one - I did struggle the first few times because I wasn't sure how to 'complete' the chain - I did it accidentally a few times until I finally worked it out. I think having some kind of visual representation of the link would help with that.

I didn't tend to read the descriptions much, which was a shame - perhaps the names could be coloured and the bubble around the person they refer to could match the colour or something like that. I ended up just using the bubbles and keeping my eyes on the dude that came up twice...

It was a cool idea though, different and looked nice.

Cool game. I'm terrible at it! :)

I played the Windows version. Once I worked out that mouse is shoot (I'm slow, I'm sorry!) it was good.

Really liked your graphics and the music was cool too (although it ran out after a while). The animations were pretty slick, definitely a great start for a cool idea, it felt like the beginnings of a Parkour-type thing!

A Brief Excursion by MalphasWats 2014-08-26T10:37:00

Thanks for the feedback! I think I learnt a lot technically this time around, but I definitely have a long way to go to actually create a *fun* game! It's a LOT harder than I expected it to be!

A Brief Excursion by MalphasWats 2014-08-28T17:44:00

Thanks! Yeah, I was a bit lazy with a simple frame rate - linked timer for the sounds. It struggles to keep the FPS up as you go deeper. I think I got a but carried away with the number of Bat Fiends :)

Drunken Space Fleet by polarkac 2014-08-26T11:11:00

Bit twitchy on the old mouse but fun. Nice work.

World 255 by jimmymcmillan 2014-08-26T10:53:00

Nice. I thought the lighting was cool. I don't like it when I have to do things of dubious morality though ;)

elemens by Steve | tacospice 2014-08-26T11:27:00

Fun game, I liked the art and the conversations :)

Kosmovalse by the 2014-08-26T09:07:00

I kind of liked this, but I found the mouse control really weird. My target kept firing off out of the window and then clicking some other thing that was open on the desktop.

Wasn't sure how the theme fit in.

I also had Chrome complain that the "Windows" link was malicious, but the "Shaders Off" version worked ok.

Light&Darkness by xWilQ 2014-08-26T09:31:00

I had trouble with this - No matter how quickly I got going, the white block never got to the top of the big block on the lift before it got crushed by the spikes :(

The Grand Quest for The Potato Salad by Suvidriel 2014-08-26T09:58:00

This program can't start becaue MSVCR110.dll is missing... ;(

Mirror Worlds by malf 2014-08-26T10:47:00

OMG hard. Really nice idea though! Graphics were cute too.
