Great idea, love the cards and having to build the bridges. Wish you could upgrade your towers, different types of weapons. Sounds would have been nice..
I was not able to run this game. I started the java app, it said Ludum Dare, and then nothing. The javaw process was in my task manager but nothing was on my screen.
I can't play this game. Can you compile it for a different version of .net? Also, please note that XNA game studio allows you to publish games. Publishing your game allows the game studio to package everything your game needs so other people can just run the setup program to play your game. Check out my game, Island Survivor (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-17/?action=rate&uid=1822), for an example of that.
I didn't really see anything humorous, but you certainly had the theme down. Also, you submitted your game in it's entirety and there's not a rating for, so I gave your a four overall. Great job.
Very dizzy now... Great idea and well executed. Would have like another element of some kind. After three islands I was a bit bored (not to mention full). I like the targeting. Without the spinning or the cross-hairs it would have been too easy.
I like the idea, but I don't really agree with the "game". I really feel like it's more the other way around. It's not that everyone is avoiding the lonely person, but it's more that the lonely person is the one doing the avoiding. If that makes any sense. I would have liked it more if your job was to chase everyone away with pessimism and you like had a pessimism bar that went down over time unless you "fed" it somehow with like old french poetry and pretentious music or something like that (angst power ups?). Now that would have been a good depiction of loneliness!
LD17 — Islands (38)
I HATE ISLANDS by nitram_cero
I didn't hate islands until I played this game. Now I hate islands and love destroying them!
Islands At War by Srekel
Great idea, love the cards and having to build the bridges. Wish you could upgrade your towers, different types of weapons. Sounds would have been nice..
Deep Under an Island by Sparky
More levels please!
Nuclear Test by sf17k
I thought this was some kind of anti-nuclear weapons thing at first... good thing it wasn't. That would have seemed preachy.
Island Hopping by shawn42
Some animation on the copter and some more levels and I would have been good.
islands by increpare
I'm lost... if you can explain this to me I'll change my ratings.
Paradise Fort by Hempuli
Not very user friendly but a fun game once you put in the initial 2 hours it takes to stop pressing D when you mean A. Maybe I'm just dyslexic?

YOU ARE ISLAND. by SpaceManiac
Fun while it lasted :)
Isolated Empire by Daz
Couldn't play this game. Kept saying access violation. Do you always need to compile it to run it?
Artillery Isles by Entar
I just get a blank window with a white background. When I close the window, it says your program has experienced an error.
Banana Joe by vartagh
The whole time while I was playing I kept thinking I had a sunburn... really weird. bats suck!
Needles by bento
Link is broken.
Arquipelago by jeanbr07
Difficulty would have been nice, like easy would have given me a time limit of like 30 seconds or something. Cool idea though.
Ilopocalypse by Geti
I can't get past the first few blocks. Could you make the player jump higher?

Planetfall by Grieve
The game crashed. Am I missing a library? I got the same message zorbathut got.
EDIT: I'm getting this error now -
"The procedure point _ftol2 could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll"

Nice job. The guitar and hand drawn graphics was cool.

Aah Little Atlantis by Robert Swan
The XNA framework says it received an error and asks to report it for me. I'm unable to run your game.
SautEUR by ickylevel
Nice idea and execution. well done. Game was a bit difficult though.

Horrible LD17 Game by demize

Crowned in Doubt by dgfitch
Very cool. Took me a couple of tries to realize what I was doing. I liked the abstract interpretation of the theme.
Voyage for the Queen by Serilyn
Good job on the GUI. It has a very clean look and feel.
Eyelands by recursor
reminds me of pitfall.
IslandsMUD by jplur
Great idea.
