LD29 — Beneath the Surface

ScubaBear by _Rilem 2014-04-29T11:54:00

Possibly my favorite game so far. The gameplay, graphics and music have a super charming and polished feeling to them.

Finish Him! by dmcfarline 2014-04-30T09:19:00

Short and sweet, great humor!

SUNK by GeorgeBroussard 2014-04-29T09:46:00

Very polished and (positively) grim, I love the character sprite animation together with the water sound effects. After 5 minutes I could still keep afloat easily using the same rhythm, though. More difficulty would be cool!

A boy and his Hellworm by orangepascal 2014-04-29T09:44:00

Very fun and satisfying, I enjoyed it a lot. It didn't run for me the other day (Firefox), but it works fine now!

Ocean RESCUE by MerlijnVH 2014-04-28T07:30:00

The game edit page noted that a "Web" link was required, but it turns out it isn't. I've changed it to a "Windows" download.

ThisDarkMttr by rpgwhitelock 2014-04-29T10:22:00

Very cool and atmospheric. One of the most beautiful entries I've seen. I wish I could click and hold LMB to sweep through the particles!

Beneath the City by deepnight 2014-04-29T10:25:00

Stellar gameplay, and it looks great too.

LD30 — Connected Worlds

The Lion's Song by LeafThief 2014-08-28T20:05:00

Beautiful game, I loved the story and the pixel art with colour palette were absolutely amazing.

Interesting entry, not what I expected but original nonetheless!

Chaos Heart by YMM 2014-08-26T12:06:00

I love this! It works with the theme, it looks and sounds amazing, and it is a lot of fun to play, too. Great entry!

Intergalacticnet by divillysausages 2014-09-12T20:41:00

Quite liked the mechanic and "3D effect" of planets coming up and flying through the rings, didn't expect that. Nice work!

Whiteout by primaerfunktion 2014-08-26T10:18:00

Beautiful! I love the atmosphere, very impressive work within the short time span. Good job!

The Asteroids I Call Home by Elemental Zeal Games Studios 2014-09-12T20:31:00

Nice entry, loved the concept!

WorldLine by Jellycakes 2014-08-26T00:20:00

I love this. The atmosphere and music is lovely, and I love interacting with physical things like the phone in games. Great entry!

Stratera by highlyinteractive 2014-08-25T17:34:00

Very beautiful game and I like the idea. It was a bit hard to figure out how to play, but it was interesting nonetheless.

Signum by brookman 2014-09-12T20:29:00

Simple but very nice, good job. Love some of the level designs!

Hell On Earth by CryoGenesis 2014-08-25T17:55:00

Pretty cool! I like that you loosened up the aiming and such a bit, feels pretty polished for an old-school FPS.

I Must See You by Split82 2014-08-25T17:26:00

This looks beautiful, feels very polished, everything is well explained and it's a lot of fun! Great work!

A : Attack from Red Planet by savethejets1 2014-08-27T23:10:00

Very cool game, I like it. Hope you keep working on this and make it bigger.

Very cool idea, love the style.

Your world! by Julgodis 2014-08-25T14:19:00

Simple and fun! It was very satisfying to win.

Hanspaul Holes by Lokiman 2014-08-25T17:29:00

I love this puzzle mechanic, very intuitive and fun to play.

Bipolar World by havana24 2014-09-12T20:14:00

Very nice entry! I think the gameplay mechanic is used quite often these days, but the execution is really well done!

Blue Screen by varun 2014-08-25T09:58:00

That's awesome! I love the concept and style. Very System Shock.

Me And My Ghost by jahlgren 2014-08-28T20:23:00

Awesome game! Very fun to play and an original take on this type of game. I love the music and graphics too, really cute pixel art.

Dust by alycarter 2014-08-25T17:59:00

Quite nice! I like the idea a lot, reminds me of Osmos in some way.

Doggy Dialler by Lianne Booton 2014-08-27T19:44:00

Amazing. The game feels super complete and polished, I love the art style and especially the character designs. The gameplay is original and fun, too. The difficulty was just a bit hard, those scrambled numbers always got me!

Astro Tycoon by goffmog 2014-09-12T20:23:00

Very cool entry, I love these type of games. Must have been fun to make!

We're connected by Yozz 2014-08-25T23:45:00

I love the graphics and dialogue! Good job.

ConnectTheWorlds by mrexcessive 2014-09-12T20:52:00

Nice entry! I like these type of games. The sounds were a bit painful to my ears, though. More so than my game. :)

NECLiD by 0x0961h 2014-08-25T11:16:00

I love it! Super polished, fun to play and great atmosphere.

The Veiled World by panurge 2014-08-25T13:05:00

I like it a lot! The game has a lot of personality, I love the character select screen voice overs, and how the enemies taunt you.

Binary System by rogueNoodle 2014-08-26T10:51:00

Super fun to play and it looks and feels very polished. Original gameplay mechanic and smart use of the theme, too! Amazing entry.

1989 to 2014 by McFunkypants 2014-08-25T22:55:00

That's awesome!

GET Connected by sephyka 2014-09-12T20:18:00

Very interesting entry, good job. I felt the game was a bit confusing at times, but it was very cool nonetheless.

Light of the World by Limyc 2014-08-25T23:57:00

Very charming game, I hoped my star became bigger too when I absorbed others. Very lovely!

Planet Wanderer by StuffBySpencer 2014-09-12T20:40:00

Pretty cool! Thought it looked very nice, especially the animation was cute.

John and the Arbitrary Gem Hunt by SteveSalmond 2014-09-12T20:48:00

Very beautiful game! I loved the style and polish that went into it already. The environment rocks and the music accompanies it well. My character didn't seem to walk straight sometimes and walking on the beanstalks was a bit tricky, but great work otherwise!

ORBII by Lars Faust 2014-08-25T09:24:00

Really original and beautiful!

RED Thread by NickZangus 2014-08-28T19:51:00

Great entry! I love the visual style, especially the camera effect when you switch characters. The characters are super cute, too. The gameplay works well, a bit tricky at times but original and fun.

Dare To Drive by Linusson 2014-08-27T22:52:00

Very cool! It was challenging and fun, and I really liked the idea of jumping between tracks. I think you could keep working on this and expand it a lot!

Connected Caves by Birke 2014-09-12T20:22:00

Nice entry and good atmosphere, though the controls were a bit hard.

Heaven or Hell by EMAK 2014-08-28T20:20:00

Great game! The gameplay is original, simple and fun. The graphics were really cute, too. Love the pixel art!

Escape From Animal Forest by Skyfish 2014-09-12T20:50:00

Nice entry! The controls / physics were a bit floaty and jittery, but I loved the style and mood of the game.

The Legend of Light by Yword 2014-09-12T20:28:00

Solid entry, great work! Love the style, music and visuals.

Macrocosm by Ossi 2014-08-26T00:12:00

I like the idea, nice that you started to use the new Unity UI, too. It could use more explanation of what everything does, but I totally see where you were going with this!

Isles in the Sky by Tanner 2014-08-25T23:53:00

Very impressive what you've done with HTML5 tech in a short time!

Beyond the Rift by Chaoseiro 2014-08-27T22:42:00

Nice concept! I had trouble figuring out how to play correctly, even with the controller, but otherwise it seems fine. Nice entry!

Cloud Connected by elliottd 2014-08-26T12:39:00

Very lovely game, especially the main character. The animation is great for such a short development time! It was over pretty quickly, but I enjoyed the atmosphere!

Line Crossing by Lissar 2014-08-27T23:08:00

Fantastic work, I really loved the style.

Matters of Perspective by nesis 2014-09-12T20:34:00

Great work! Very original, love the gameplay mechanic.

Telecaster by vulpineblazeyt 2014-08-27T22:33:00

I like the concept a lot! Like an Oregon Trail set in space. It would be nice to have some more options when visiting a planet, e.g. attack or try to steal resources and escape, to spice it up.

Sinister by Joe Williamson 2014-08-28T20:28:00

Beautiful graphics, music and style. Great job!

Worldly Traveler by MrTedders 2014-08-25T14:14:00

I wasn't really sure what to do in the beginning, everything was very cryptic, but I think that works in favor of the game. When I finally managed to launch to another planet, I felt proud for figuring something out! A very cool and mysterious game.

Odyssey by voidqk 2014-08-25T23:55:00

I love what you did with the hook mechanic! Very neat game.

HeShe by Manou 2014-08-25T17:46:00

The style is so cool and I love the music. The gameplay is fun, too!

Yond by (Not) Ivano 2014-08-25T13:32:00

So cool! Like a cyberpunk Papers, Please. Really love the style, colours and character pixel portraits.

Chipset-0 by deepnight 2014-08-27T13:10:00

This was beautiful and amazingly well put together. So much fun to play, too. Great entry!

EBDA by capsizedmoose 2014-08-27T22:37:00

I really liked this! Once I understood how it worked, I loved the concept and it was fun to play. You should keep working on it! I like the graphics, too. They reminded me of Windows 95 games (in a good way!).

Legacy of Lamas by Cell 2014-08-25T11:36:00

The game is so beautiful, I love the style and atmosphere you've created.

Girl, Alien and Robots by Glint Games 2014-08-25T18:02:00

Quite nice, the platforming just needs some tweaking (the jumping felt way too fast).

I Think I Broke Something by Otrora Games 2014-08-28T20:38:00

Very cool game! I like the art and gameplay mechanic a lot, even if it was pretty hard. Great entry!

Where Did The Stars Go? by mechabit 2014-09-12T20:09:00

Very cool game! I liked the game mechanic and the music was great, too. Love the graphics style.

Enduring Atlas by dickpoelen 2014-08-27T22:49:00

Very beautiful and original game! I liked the game mechanic, too.

Hop Hop Planet by SnoutUp 2014-08-25T17:48:00

I really like it! The graphics are nice, the gameplay is fun and the mechanic works well.

Symbiosis by vividhelix 2014-09-12T20:54:00

Nice entry! I think the implementation doesn't work well sometimes, nothing happened when I performed certain actions, but I get what you were going for and liked the concept a lot. Good job!

Ennaffa by MintArcade 2014-08-27T23:02:00

I like the concept, and sheer size of the game is impressive! Very creative, good job!

R-elink: A link between worlds by RaycoSantana 2014-08-25T10:06:00

Love the concept!

Close Your Eyes by nonetheless 2014-08-28T20:36:00

Very cool and polished, and a really cool gameplay mechanic.

> Continue by ratking 2014-08-25T11:41:00

From the moment I realized how the game worked, I loved it! To me, one of the most original games this Ludum Dare. I'm curious to see how it will grow as more people play.

Nigel - Hero of the universe by ruerob 2014-08-27T23:06:00

That was really creative, very cool!

Who Plays the Player? by harko12 2014-08-25T14:33:00

It's a shame you ran out of time, but I can see where you were going with it! It's nice that you got the Unity networking stuff figured out during the short time. Something like this, more fleshed out, could be really neat!

This Little Piggy... by InfectionTeam 2014-08-28T19:53:00

Stunning game! Very beautiful and clever world design. The gameplay became a bit too hectic once I crossed to the other world, but it was great fun.

Parallel Rift by liquidminduk 2014-09-12T20:16:00

Very nice entry! I love the graphics style, the gameplay mechanic is well done, too.

There, Somewhere by maloki 2014-09-12T20:20:00

Very nice entry! Fun to play, I didn't like that you had to run into walls to become a ghost again, but I can see why you did that. Good job!

Human and Alien by BoskoSokolov 2014-08-25T09:54:00

I like it! It's pretty difficult doing level design for such puzzle games in a short period of time, good job.

Spacecat Marines by matthias_zarzecki 2014-08-25T10:12:00

Very ambitious, I like it! I love the idea of taking your crew around. The enemies could do with more movement variation, though.

Stay in Fate by sneeuwpopsneeuw 2014-09-12T20:26:00

The physics felt a bit jittery when running into things, but good effort! I like the sprite characters.

Starpiercer by Schrodinger Games 2014-08-27T22:54:00

Love it!

Dream Epoch (adventure / rpg) by Adam Thompson 2014-09-12T20:45:00

I liked the concept of rooms being populated as you walked in, though it made my character fly up in the air sometimes when physics hit. Also, shame you left in some debug text on collision hits. Good job, though. Keep it up!

LD30 God Game by Khaibit 2014-08-26T00:02:00

I think it plays a bit slow for now, but it has very good potential! The screenshot attracted me, I like the style you're going for.

Space Delver by commodoreKid 2014-09-12T20:12:00

Love these kind of games, very nice entry. Would love to see it more fleshed out! Warp drive was a bit unforgiving, though.

Worlds Collide by Rage Paint 2014-09-12T20:56:00

Nice entry, a bit like pac-man or osmos in space! Very fun.

Fuga by Colapsydo 2014-08-27T23:15:00

Very interesting concept, I like it! It was a bit confusing how to play at first, but once I got it, it played great. Would love to see an expanded version of the game.

Ice Box by 2HitMatt 2014-08-25T14:28:00

I love how this looks, and the sim aspect approach of moving to the different rooms is very original, too!

Kate by LaFleur 2014-08-28T20:18:00

I love the look and style, and I like the idea you were going for with the map. The maze was very hard to navigate, though. The controls were a bit sticky too when moving against walls.

Waterfly Octus by gillenew 2014-08-25T14:07:00

So charming! I love the style and characters. I don't see the connection to the theme, but it's still nice.

Bus by gardenhead 2014-08-28T19:59:00

Very cool and original game, I liked it a lot. The penalty for failure was a bit high, having to start over again from the beginning, but a lot of fun nevertheless!

Oasis Patrollers by slakhorn 2014-08-27T22:46:00

Nice entry! It played okay, though the controls and jeep movement was a bit weird. Nice graphics for the short time span, too.

Lucy's Journey by ajopart 2014-09-12T20:24:00

Pretty fun, good job!

Worlds Apart by ClownAround 2014-08-26T10:23:00

I really like where you were going with this. Two separate characters, their story intertwined through their actions. Good take on the theme!

Galactic Dump by SoulGame 2014-09-12T20:37:00

Solid entry, love it! Super polished and fun to play, love the style, music and UI.

Breach of Dimensions by ursagames 2014-08-27T23:12:00

Lovely game, plays very smoothly! The characters and animations are very neat, too.

Sharded by Arowx 2014-08-25T17:44:00

I like the character and intro! I was a bit confused about what to do or where to go, though.

Intergalactic Delivery Services Corporation by sP0CkEr2 2014-08-25T17:39:00

Very fun game! I like the idea a lot, and the graphics worked well. Super hard!

The Nether by GFM 2014-08-27T22:30:00

I like the concept a lot! It was a bit confusing at first about what to do, but once you get going it works well. My only complaint is that everything was a bit small and hard to click, like the menu system.

United Nanolytics Knowledge Vault by chas 2014-08-28T19:47:00

I loved it! The visual style is absolutely amazing, with all the UI animations it feels very polished. The gameplay was simple, but a lot of fun!

DINO BOLT by GeorgeBroussard 2014-08-25T02:53:00

Clean, polished and fun! My best is 57 so far, love that you still have another shot if you hit something, in the form of the dinosaur left behind. It just plays so smooth.
