LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Full Metal Democracy by deepnight 2015-12-21T20:13:00

I love this game. Very well polished. I reminds me of those cool retro games from the childhood. Thank you for this!!

This soooooooooo awesome!!!
Idea, gameplay, sound, music, humor.
Very fun game. Love it!!
Great job, guys!

Slash Quest by Big Green Pillow ft Mgaia 2015-12-15T20:41:00

FIVE!FIVE!FIVE EVERYWERE!
This game is incredibily awesome!!
Very interesting idea and damn awesome using of the controls. It's not very comfortable, but the this little knight is to small to hold dat big sword, that's why I think it all plays out!
Marvelous design and graphinks, sweet music and sounds.
I very like the feeling of sword pushing from the rock, you just feeling it and this little moments makes this game so awesome.
In my opinion, this is the best game on this jam.

Growing Up by blurryroots 2015-12-15T19:18:00

I can't say it was very intersactive, but I like it anyway. Charm story, a very good move on the theme. Music is also pretty good. Some people wouldn't like it as a game probaably, but I like it a lot as an interactive experience! Good job!

Tamám Shud by LBUncleJoe 2015-12-19T12:41:00

Damn, that was deep! I love this kind of games. You just start and nothnig can grab you out of the game. I can't say that I love this kind of feelings, but when game brings you such emotions - it is a good game! Great mood, great sounds and noizes, great narrative telling.
I love everything, but there is one thing I don't like.
I know it's dump to think about what is a game. But when you're trying to make your game to be an art piace, you definitely want this game to be a game. I want to to have some choice, because every interractive experience gives you a choice. It can be anything. Choice of movement or choice of the narrative. But if your make this game on this high level, you really let your game being a game.
Sorry for bad English and this critics. The game is still awesome, but maybe in future you should pay attention to the gameplay too.
Good work, man!

Rude Bear Recreation by Alex Rose 2015-12-16T11:01:00

Hilarious game. Love the graphics, humor and sounds!

Midnight Runner by CustomPhase 2015-12-15T15:56:00

Like the mood in the game!
Music and sounds are awesome!

Bonsai Growth Simulator by cjacobwade 2016-01-03T17:20:00

Very clever and unique idea! Thank you for such an experience!

OVERGROWN . UNDERFED by Almax27 2015-12-29T16:51:00

Cool game! It reminds me of ALien 3 from nes and sega. Great music and sounds. Can't say that it is perfect choice for this theme, but however the game is very fun to play!

Garden Grow by justinooncx 2015-12-19T12:08:00

Wow, Very fun game! Love the graphics, sounds, music and game mechanics!!

Wizard and The Sun by HolyBlackCat 2015-12-28T21:10:00

Smart idea, great mood, lovely sounds and ambient music! I can't find anything bad in this game! Great god damn work, man!!

SupRunner by agilejoshua 2015-12-29T17:02:00

Damn, clever, clever, clever, sooo clever and hilarious!!
I love it so much!!

Row Row Row Your Goat by A-Flat Miner Studios 2015-12-15T18:08:00

Cool game! Very innovative idea and realisation of the controls. The most of all i like the explosions from the bears. It was hilarious!

Pikki by RockhopperGames 2015-12-28T20:11:00

Great idea. But to me, it's very cheap to use two buttons only for making choice. However, it was interesting to beat it more than 1 time to see the difference in growing and evolution

Viral Growth by wooltech 2015-12-15T16:02:00

There is something wrong with your link to the game.

Earth Invader by nihilaleph 2016-01-03T17:13:00

I like game like this a lot! Sweet old hardcore with well-matched sounds and graphics. Good job!

FLOW by Romixal 2015-12-16T13:52:00

I'd like the idea, but I couldn't figure out how to get the last puzzle

Gjallarhorn by NoWandStudios 2015-12-15T17:25:00

Damn, It feels awesome!
I really liked how you managed to make so interesting and simple gameplay using only two buttons. Good job, man.

Grazing Hell by krzymsky 2015-12-28T20:01:00

Cool use of the theme! Love the graphics and the idea! Good job!

Two Button Gardening by freddyw9 2015-12-29T17:14:00

Cool mix of two themes. Fun gamplay, lovely music, but honestly the "finger" sound of pushing the buttons is pissing me off!

animal islands by geckojsc 2016-01-03T17:18:00

Can;t say anything bad about this, and I think I shouldn't. Very good and fun to play game!

Snowy Smasher by Reversal Mirror 2015-12-16T15:01:00

Lovely graphics and sounds. I like this game! Very fun to play!

Homewards by M a r o o v a n 2015-12-15T17:12:00

Damn, i thought i managed to fix the bag with obstacles.
And when I play it seems okay.
What about damage, lives, which flying above are running out as the time goes. Lives restores at home. But as you grow up, you live bar decreases slower and slower. I wanted to show that when you become infependent, you don't need any help at home.
P.S: I'm very sorry for my bad English. I'm Russian and I wrote those sentences in the last moment. The really need to be fixed.

Homewards by M a r o o v a n 2015-12-15T22:53:00

I uploaded other version on gamejolt. I didn't change nothing, only checked the collision with the lasers. Hope that now it would be working

Homewards by M a r o o v a n 2015-12-27T09:33:00

If collisions doesn't work, just run the game as ADMINISTRATOR!

The Running One by SirSoltex 2015-12-16T00:21:00

I like the idea a lot, perfectly lays on a theme, but I think you could add something else in the game. I know, it's very hard to write such a game from the scratch without using Unity or something else, but in most cases players wouldn't treat your work. Players can only judge the graphix, sounds, the feel of the game, but they wouldn't understand, how long did you write game physics or how much time did you spend checking the collisions.
I think you really should take some engine in order to cut your coding time and to focus on things, which which helps you to control the game experience

Untangled by Avant-Marde 2016-01-03T17:29:00

Beatiful game, great sounds and graphics! Nice work here!

Grow To Jump by Lares Yamoir 2015-12-16T13:59:00

Good idea, but, honestly, i hate this spikes. They're broking the hole experience. But it looks interesting and i like the sounds

Micros by gkxd 2015-12-15T15:35:00

Awesome game! Perfectly lays on a theme, smooth controls, beautiful graphix, lovely music and sounds. Good job! Like this game a lot!

Waffle Hunters by Mechamism 2015-12-15T09:09:00

Love the graphix!
Now I want to eat waffles

Space Jumper by SpaceChips 2015-12-29T17:09:00

I love the mood , sounds and graphics. IDea is also vvveeery inovative! Great job, man!

CafeGarden by Bacontree 2016-01-03T17:16:00

Lovely graphics and fun gameplay. Very funny teletubby-like character!

Don't Look Back by PeteDS 2015-12-15T15:29:00

Liked the graphix a lot and mood of the game
But didn't like at all the camera behavior
and music, which sounds good, but it's very very short
and at the end of the game it had started to annoy a little bit

Strong Like Orc by SpareWizard 2015-12-19T13:15:00

Damn cool gameplay. Smart idea and clever use of controls. Love this game!

GURU by TomenLuca 2015-12-19T13:07:00

Very fun and hilarious game. Loev th humor, sound and music. Gameplay is also very fun. Good laying on the theme!. Good job!

Stargazer by NuclearCellar 2015-12-15T18:47:00

Don't think that this game lays good on the theme, but I don't deny that the game is marvelous. Story is very interesting. Puzzles were very tricky, but in a good way. Can't wait to see your next projects! You are awesome!

Snow World by Elisée and friends 2015-12-15T15:41:00

Very very very cool game. It's interesting, it looks awesome, music and sounds are veery good! Wish you a lot of luck, guys. You are awwesome!

Midori has a cold! by derr 2017-12-10T08:36:09Z

Graphics and music are amazing

Embol by azlen 2017-12-04T23:40:25Z

Damn... this... was...so good! Such a great game. Love it and want to play more of it. * Idea and gameplay are unique and i see a great potential in this mechanics! * Graphics are minimalistic and very pleasing to look at. They remind me of Edmund McMillen's graphic style * Sounds and music was very cool. They sound so polished.... that at this point I don't believe that you made it in 2 days. If it's true - all the world's respect to you, man, if not - it's still a fucking good game. Well, if you ever need a co-worker, would be glad to help with something

About The CyberFighter by ginger9 2017-12-04T23:17:56Z

This was very interesting! Thank you for the experience and the strong message! You did a great job! This is one of my favorite entries so far

Stacks by torfi 2017-12-04T23:03:04Z

MINIMALISTIC PERFECT AIM ON THEME! THAT IS A MASTERPEACE, TRUE GENIUS! 5/5

Don't Be Rash by Cosmic Adventure Squad 2017-12-04T12:03:52Z

Gorgeous game! Perfect idea for the theme! Gameplay is very intuitive and original. Hooked me for a long time. Graphics are very charming. Thank you, Rose Peng! Quite a unique experience!

Level Onslaught by OrciFried 2017-12-04T22:52:36Z

The menu is uncomfortable. It took me 5 minutes to figure that the buttons are clickable. I think if mouse isn't used in gameplay then you don't need to use it in the menu. Loved the graphics and aesthetics of the game! Sounds and music are gorgeous! They really make the game unique. Impreesive how you are managed to do it in 2 days. Respect, man!

LD42 — Running out of space

Deadly Delivery by Rogue Studios 2018-08-16T21:50:48Z

Well there are a lot of detailed reviews for this game. so let's get to the point. REEEEEEEE..... Overall 5/5, Fan 5/5, Innovation 5/5, Theme 5/5, Grampics and Audio 5/5. The world should see it in app store or play market, I'm damn serious, there is a big chance to beat Crossy Roads.

Now to the questions: 1) If we reverse the bullets, will it be a condom commersial where millions of condoms are trying to catch a running sperm? Think about it and contact with Durex. 2) Put an additional costume of people with different skin color. Dude, it's 2018. You can't just put a privilegable white man and be cool about it. 3) Playing as a bold human is a smart move. No gender conflics. 4) In the future you can change the look in different areas. For example: - Shooting range - Dart hall - Archery field - Road with the cars (running out of ideas) - Other people with boxes (not yet) - Kindergarden with wild kids - Shoping mall (damn it's hard) - In the middle of the war (ok that's enough) 5) Pls chck m game I'm low on reviews thank you very much sir. 6) Add loot boxes. Everybody loves them. This boxes will turn on time as normal. If you managed to survive and deliver it - get a new item, if not - please be dead sir.

Is there any link to your game library? Kinda interesting

Dungeon Time by shadow64 2018-08-16T13:34:31Z

I'll tell honeslty. At the first glance the game looked for me blend and very simple, the music in background was after some time a little bit annoying. But the first ending hooked and I saw this game from another angle. Then another 10 minutes later, after second ending, I realised that it is the most entertaining game I had in this Ludum Dare so far. I really love when developer makes such plotwists and manages to tell something with such small game, but the theme of this gamejam brought amount of this games to minimum. That's why I was very happy to find this gem.

But let's look step by step:

1) First of all - graphics. I see that you've put a lot of efford in graphics and it really pays of. It's very constistent and fairly detailed (especially in animation). You doing a great job here and keep it up. (5/5) 2) Sounds fitt perfectly into the style of the game, but main music in background for me was out of 8bit tune(yes, it's not some rule or something, but all graphics and sounds was so perfectly matched so it was so obvious to expect the 8bit-core music in the background, but it's only my point of view, nothing more). And I don't have any problems with looping music but this melody was screaming to me that it is 3-4 seconds loop and I couldn't unhear this. That's why it is 4/5.

The game was very cool overall and very funny. I think that you made a perfect take on the theme and made something very innovative (yes, I hear some Undertale vibes, but i think that you made this in a different own way) Thank you for the experience and never stop making games! You definitely have developed a talent.

Outta Space by Jack Lance 2018-08-21T17:06:37Z

Damn, that's a very good game. Intresting take on the theme and well implemented idea. Good graphics and sounds. This game was ton of fun for me. Thank you @jack-lance

Aeromancer by Ethan Allwood 2018-08-21T10:50:23Z

Can't rate the humor of this game but everything else is 5 out of 5. Graphics, music and sounds are smooth and consistent, gameplay is a ton of fun. Great take on the theme. I think this is one of the most creative entries in Ludum Dare 42. Keep it up, man! Very proud of you! I definitely going to look forward to your future projects.

OH MY GOD! I wish I made this game! Honestly, I was lost in this game for an hour and got near 100! Amazing concept but very challenging, sounds and aesthetics are fantastic! I bet that this game has a good chance to won a top spot in this LD!!

Escape Alienation by neowhoru 2018-08-15T21:41:40Z

I loooved the main menu music. It's so punchy and crunchy I got a big old retro tear! This game has very good feel to it. The only problem for me were stiff controlls. But overall it's good

SuperTHICC by huskitch 2018-08-19T22:02:36Z

Pretty fun game! Thanks for the experience. It's really stands out to original

Firewood Manor by Michael Feldman 2018-08-16T20:09:47Z

Thank you for experience! That was something. A good take on the theme, wonderfull music and sounds. Loved running animation. Good choice not to use screamers, cause when you running from door to door, soon or late you will stumble upon the fire guy. Graphics weren't so impressive though it didn't hurt the experience at all. Good job and keep it up, guys!

Don't Let 'em Fall! by Jonasz999 2018-08-21T16:29:10Z

Wow! I liked a game a lot! Great concept and great take on the theme. Game mechanics works perfectly well. Sounds and music is well-put too. You did a good job with UI, taking in mind that you have only 3 days for this - menus looks very friendly. Overall it is a very good game. Keep it up, man!

Follow The Light by DraperDanMan 2018-08-19T22:16:50Z

WOW! This game send me into some weird trance with my mind wondering here and there from room to room. Deffinetly on of the rare minimalistic but perfectly executed entries for this jam. @DraperDanMan, you did a great job! Thanks for the experience

MoodFood by DosWosh 2018-08-16T18:50:39Z

OH MY GOD! Absolutely loved this game! I think with the main menu and background music you aimed for the hotline miami style but gameplay and idea keeps this game very original.

- Great take on the theme, very innonavite and fresh. For an LD jam entry this is fantastic. - Graphics are great for a jam, very constistent. But if you wish to continue this project I think you should focus on making this less "lotline" and more polished. This will make your project stand out more. - Audio is just awesome. No complains, good job! - Mood is very cool too. I really can feel fully immersed in this game.

Thank you so much for this ride. Honestly, I envy a little bit, cause yourand mine projects are very simmilar in some ways, but you took the more interesting approach. I hope you'll continue this project cause it is very cool. Congratulations, guys. GG

Placeholder by Maroovan 2018-08-14T00:15:18Z

@tenik, you can navigate in menu using arrow keys and "Enter" But you're right. The mouse is needed here. I'll try to add this in the morning

Placeholder by Maroovan 2018-08-16T20:25:04Z

@shadow64 Thanks for the feedback. The html5 version is very buggy (I can't run it on my computer but it runs on the other people devices). I don't know what's the case. However I love Devil Daggers and took a lot of inspiration from it. Hope that it turn out to be unique in some way. About the mouse bug, I really need to fix it but i don't know if this allowed.

@timbelion What happend? Are you talking about mouse sensivity?

Placeholder by Maroovan 2018-08-21T16:41:50Z

@dk5000p Yep, I understand your feeling. At some point I doubted that it is a good idea to use these type of shooting, but let my explain why I left it as it is. 1) I think this type of shooting matches well with a theme because the more you miss the enemies - the more you, probably, destroying the level 2) Shooting on the straight line makes you too strong. Enemies are moving not so fast, so the game would be not fun at all because shooting I so simple and easy. 3) I thought it would be a cool feeling when you finaly find the shooting formula and be able to get even more points because of the shooting range of the kill.

Hope that it'll help you to understand my initial thoughts about it. But anyway, thanks that you give it a try.

Placeholder by Maroovan 2018-08-24T10:14:51Z

@jonasz999 Thanks for the feedback! I'll fix this as soon as I can.

Spiritship by velvetlobster 2018-08-16T14:38:35Z

Can't rate this game in most of the categories but the graphics and sounds in this game are amazing. But I think that this game has a lot of potential

Consensual Love in a Dungeon (NSFW) by darefus 2018-08-19T17:31:10Z

Can you say how to "beat" the ghost girl? I can see in image files that it's an option, but can't get my head around how to do it.

However, for now I can say that it's a very well-put adventure. Graphics are great and consistent, sounds are great too. At some point in a game I laught my ass off reading the choices, so 5 points here too. And the curiosity for different "endings" sucked me into the game for a good hour. Just 5 out of 5

Please answer about ghost-girl

Consensual Love in a Dungeon (NSFW) by darefus 2018-08-20T10:25:12Z

@darefus damn, i'm on board

Also I was looking through the files and noticed that you thought about adding some complex fight mechanic. Will it be in some future update or is it just some early ideas that you decided to get rid of to keep it more simple?

Hell's Kitchen by Bro404 2018-08-15T20:41:47Z

Wow! That game was such a blast. Great take on the theme. Graphics reminds me of Edmund Mcmillen's works. Good job, man. Keep it up!

Running out of Squares by Maksim Chugunov 2018-08-15T12:46:05Z

Wow! A lot of people take the mechanics of Tetris, but you really managed to take it to the next level. Great take on the theme. It's very minimalistic in a good way, very hard but also addictive.

Adventures of Spacepup! by FlyingKiwi 2018-08-21T09:52:20Z

The graphics in this game are gorgeous! Love the color palette. But I think later at some point you'll need to invest some time in particles and effects because I will take your games to another level. Great take on the theme and averall a good experience. Can't rate this game in mood and humor much because I really miss the music. But good job, man!

Oh no! This is monsters! by Alexey Akulovich 2018-08-15T12:39:32Z

I really liked the mechanics and general feel of the game. Perfect take on the theme!

Black Friday by alex.kurasov 2018-08-15T20:57:26Z

A very well-put game. I very like the core idea and take on the theme. It reminds me of something from the gta2 era. Good job!

Out Of Mind by Biebras 2018-08-21T10:07:48Z

Audio in this game was a blast for me and hooked me to beat it. Very interesting take on the theme, very innovative, audio in this game made a perfect mood and atmospere. Thanks for the experience

Garbage Disk by Tenik 2018-08-15T13:04:39Z

Good take on the theme and very addictive gameplay

CrumbleDungeon by Celdur 2018-08-16T13:52:51Z

Wow, that was a very interesting innovative idea for this event. Perfect match for the theme. I tryed again and again but have no idea how to bet it properly (guess that there is only 1 or 2 ways to beat it). I really liked the graphics but missed the sounds a lot. Can't rate this game in humor though. Great job! 👍

California Jane by fivenamefivesocks 2018-08-16T14:54:08Z

WOW! This game is just 5 out of 5! Your team made a great work!!

Elevator Maximum by happyhour 2018-08-16T20:55:47Z

Gorgeous game!

1) Graphics are fantastic, color scheme is perfectly matched. It reminded me something of Bryan Lee o'Malley work. Animation is on top. Love that you give a lot of attention to details like feedback from the attack. That gives a lot of weight to interraction.

2) Sounds are also very sharp and crisp. I guess it's something from sfxr or bfxr, perfect for this artsyle. Lofi jazzy hip-hop in the background is also awesome, it plays good with the elevator theme (like jazzy music playing in most of elevators) and crunchy beats makes gameplay very relaxing.

3) Overall it's very good. Great take on a theme, very interesting and unique idea (didn't see anyone else came up with something simillar). Has a great mood and vibe.

Thanks for the experience, man! Did you have a link to other of your games anywere? I kinda want to "subscribe" to see what you will make in the future.
