LD26 — Minimalism

SoO by Proch 2013-04-30T15:48:00

It looks great, here's to hoping for a windows or mac version :)

SPACE WASD by tdsmale 2013-04-29T15:38:00

Excellent work, very polished and fun, fits the theme perfectly.

F*** This Job by Casino Jack 2013-04-29T17:08:00

Nice little game, very fun. Not a fan of the action replays, bu everything else is great. Good job!

SPACE TEST 48 by lazybraingames 2013-05-01T21:26:00

Nice machanics, I really liked this one :)

energized by mibbio 2013-04-29T18:36:00

Can't play it under OSX 10.8. Throws the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: de/mibbiodev/ld26/DesktopStarter : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Kriok by someone 2013-05-01T21:18:00

Simple yet fun. A little difficult at times.

Kall Me Krieg by rhysvdw 2013-04-30T01:18:00

No download / play link?

Flashing Hands by lekochen 2013-05-01T03:25:00

Very nice, I also tried to use a rock paper scissors combat mechanic but failed miserably because I made it too cryptic. Nice job!

Colourless by Puccini 2013-04-29T15:35:00

Took me a little to get the hang of it, but it ended up being pretty fun. Good job!

Shoodir by ryebread761 2013-04-29T18:26:00

Simple, but it's a nice concept. I liked it :)

U by KEFIR 2013-04-29T18:17:00

Great game! I really liked the graphics and it's pretty fun :)

Convulx by Griz 2013-04-30T01:23:00

Nice game, I really liked the music :)

Patty's Perilous Plunder by blearn 2013-05-15T21:16:00

Couldn't get it to run on OSX 10.8:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.LinkageError: Version mismatch: jar version is '23', native library version is '25'

Not sure what's going on :/

Spike Line by Yorwba 2013-04-29T18:14:00

Really nice game, suits the theme perfectly and it's pretty fun. I do agree with other reviewers that the music could be better. Nice job!

Distradiction by shines 2013-04-29T17:05:00

I really needed a few deep breaths, hehe. Looks pretty clean, it's fun and fits with the theme. Good work!

The Tater Conspiracy by Korda 2013-04-30T01:27:00

Like the color palette and the ambience. Nice job!

Marblelistic by leparlon 2013-04-29T18:14:00

Simple, well executed idea. Great work!

Minimalist TD by Gama11 2013-04-29T15:20:00

Very nice, good job!

16 by Xaychru 2013-04-29T16:20:00

Couldn't run it under latest OSX, the game seems to open but never starts to run.

Obscure by Ysty 2013-04-29T16:02:00

Great idea, love the atmosphere. I'd like it more with a wider view cone. Really fits the theme.

(Follow the) Line by Chman 2013-04-29T18:56:00

Love this game, very cool and great presentation. Nice job!

Squared by Shorefire 2013-04-29T15:51:00

Really like this one, fits well with the theme and I liked the powerup mechanics. Well done!

beTween by Benn 2013-05-12T17:13:00

Nice one, really liked it :)

Pixl by JaviCepa 2013-04-29T15:55:00

Looks great and plays well. Loved the colors. Good job!

potential energy generator by rsodre 2013-04-29T15:48:00

Didn't really "click" with me, but it certainly fits the theme.

Cubey's Confusion Cube by seflopod 2013-05-12T17:20:00

It took me a while to get used to the controls, but once I got the hang of it, it was fun navigating the maze. Nice job!

Milton by ZYXer 2013-05-06T16:20:00

Very interesting, and looks very nice too. Great job!

Pointcom: The 1-Page Minimalist Game by NRathbone 2013-05-09T03:08:00

Very innovative, great job :)

Comic Sans: The Game by FloatingGhost 2013-04-29T16:19:00

Tried to play under latest OSX, got this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: ludumdare/LudumDare : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

TOWER DEFENSE REWIND by optimality 2013-04-29T16:45:00

Very interesting take on tower defense games. Well executed and fits the theme greatly. Excellent work :)

grow. by hughsk 2013-05-05T22:34:00

Not really sure what was going on, but I really liked the style. Nice job!

Piano Stairs by robmozart 2013-04-29T18:32:00

Feels a little buggy right now, but it's a nice idea. You should provide Windows binaries too, though.

Tower of Pixel by AlanZucconi 2013-04-29T16:38:00

Love the artstyle and ahem, the Babel tower inspiration :) It's a cool idea, great work!

the sunset by nhmllr 2013-05-06T15:14:00

Loved it, good job!

Mondrian by Kyle Bolton 2013-04-29T16:24:00

Great idea and great execution. Love the minimalistic artstyle. Nice job!

Bounce by Elrobo 2013-04-30T20:12:00

Very nice, it was fun and very minimalistic. Good job!

Minimalist by Orangejuice724 2013-05-04T00:53:00

I... kinda failed to find the binaries :/

MiniCrawler by Nezzhil 2013-05-01T21:22:00

Kind of frustrating mostly because of the controls, but I like the Gameboy look

Minimalist Dungeon Crawler by Cranky 2013-05-04T01:16:00

Wow, very nice!

Mini Space Adventure by jacintosan 2013-04-29T18:27:00

Too simplistic for my taste, but it certainly fits the theme.

Color Police by ryuurei 2013-05-04T01:06:00

I can“t find the binary...

PHILIP KLAS by neight 2013-04-29T16:43:00

This game is hilarious! Love the music and the style, it's a little chaotic but I realize that was part of the idea. Nice work!

RYB - RedYellowBlue by xethm55 2013-05-09T03:12:00

Same here, couldn't get it to run :(

Yellow Space by Leginar 2013-05-04T01:10:00

Really liked this one, fits perfectly with the theme, it's fun and looks great. Nice job!

LDRU by mollrow 2013-04-29T15:05:00

Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to run under latest OSX (MBP 13). I'll try downloading the source and see if I can get it to run somehow.

raveGRID by sick 2013-04-29T16:00:00

Really like the idea, a little too heavy for webplayer, though. Like the looks too.

Fight Kub by ErwanOfil 2013-05-09T03:16:00

Very nice, got a good laugh out of this one xD

CatLife by Leoche 2013-04-29T15:53:00

Love the art but a little too minimalistic as a game. Nice work though!

Babel by Merkoth 2013-04-29T14:55:00

@Manuel777 Other people said the same... I'm not sure what's causing it. You can move and rotate the camera using the keyboard arrows in theory, but some people seem to be having issues.

Babel by Merkoth 2013-04-29T14:55:00

@AlanZucconi I'll make sure to check out your game :) TBH, I ran out of time so Babel is more of a codename than an actual inspiration :P

Babel by Merkoth 2013-04-29T16:33:00

Thanks for the comments people, lots of useful stuff there. I'm seriously thinking about polishing it and releasing it later :)

Babel by Merkoth 2013-04-30T03:56:00

@Drabiter The movement IS choppy because I didn't code it to be smooth ebough, maybe it isn't really frameskipping. Thanks for your comments too :)

Up To You by PapaGrimbles 2013-04-29T18:40:00

Really liked this one. Simple yet fun and addictive. Great work!

temporary-babel2D by alpha 2013-04-29T16:48:00

It's a little rough, but there's an interesting concept here. Also love its chaotic nature :)

WORDHUNTER by gerritg 2013-04-30T20:15:00

Tried to play under OSX 10.8, it didn't work :(

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: de/gerritg/wordhunter/Starter : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0"

No idea what this is. Not scoring of course!

BEAN by FenLudum 2013-04-29T15:00:00

Liked the game, kind of unplayable with a Magic Mouse though :P

Solace by kazukishida 2013-04-30T13:24:00

I liked the concept and the looks. Maybe a little too short.

rainwalkers by nuprahtor 2013-04-29T17:01:00

Really like the concept and the art style. Great job! :)

Touch Blocks, Avoid Spikes by ecbambrick 2013-04-29T18:53:00

Really nice game, looks sweet and sounds great. Nice mechanics too. Great work!

MUBIC by Hadyn 2013-04-30T13:30:00

Nice and simple, great job!

Hipster Annihilator 9000 by deige101 2013-04-29T16:17:00

Like the sprites and fits the theme. Like the humor, it reminds me of a game you've probably never played :P

Broken Sat-Nav, 3:12AM, 3013 by df2013 2013-04-30T13:20:00

Great controls, nice game :)

Right Side of the Road by ethankennerly 2013-05-12T17:29:00

I really liked this one, very good job guys!

Phlux by vrld 2013-04-29T18:51:00

Very nice game, very polished. Solid mechanics, looks good and "feels" like a finished product. Excellent job!

Space Captant by Norgg 2013-04-29T15:13:00

Nice work, it's kind of confusing at first but it's pretty fun :)

Grasshopper by Puffi 2013-04-29T15:18:00

I... I don't suck :(

Plane View by Lucas Tiridath 2013-04-29T16:41:00

Cool idea, but a little confusing. Really fits the theme and the concept is very interesting.

Puzzlecave Episode 1 - Raiders Of The Lost Potato by gizmo 2013-04-29T16:22:00

Love the graphics and plays well. Nice job!

Saishou Sentou by Joshua Douglass-Molloy 2013-04-29T16:10:00

Love the idea, it's a very good example of minimalism while still being pretty fun. Great job!

'moeba by Oliver Simon 2013-04-29T15:57:00

I like the idea and the minimalistic graphics, but the controls are kind of a turn off at the beginning. Cool concept.

Mad World by patrikspengler 2013-04-29T15:32:00

Holy... sheep. Very weird, but I liked it a lot.

Hexagion by Drabiter 2013-04-29T18:35:00

A nice little game, good work. One note though, the OSX readme still points to game.jar, but it isn't that bad.

Cubic by DalsGames 2013-04-29T18:23:00

Argh! 616 points! Fun little game, good job. I really liked the background music :)

Contact: Lost by William Bundy 2013-04-29T18:30:00

Interesting idea, a little hard to figure out. Nice work :)
