LD26 — Minimalism

Nyon by Vadinci 2013-04-30T14:25:00

Love the visuals. Beautiful style. After some trial and error I managed to get to a house, and did something to the door (I think). Sound would be awesome. It has lots of potential, but right now it's obviously lacking a goal.

I did it! Holy crap my heart is racing now. That's one evil game. First I dug down and got stuck, then I got stuck near the end doing it backwards. After a dying a lot, I got decent at it, and I have to say, the hardest part is the bit with those damn spikes before getting to the double jump. I still get angry just thinking about those. Well the game was fun and made me want to finish it. It's maybe the second or third game I've actually finished so far this LD, and this was the most fun. I kinda felt screwed over a few times when the double jump didn't work, but it was fun. And aggravating. :) Lovely music, and graphics. I really liked the changing backgrounds.

Just a popup box and a yellow screen without any explanation might give people the idea that your game isn't working. Other than that, the game is fine, and certainly minimalistic. Some sound would have helped a lot, you could even use sound as an indicator, like a metal detector.

Feint Signal by brxtr 2013-05-02T11:28:00

Love it. Awesome graphics and music, really challenging. This one goes into my favs. My record is 30.

hedraSeed by RobKat 2013-05-01T17:30:00

Cool game! Very pretty. I got past the red tree, but after trying the first difficult blue jump 20 times, finally making it, and then failing right after it, I had to give up. The most frustrating for me was the lack of precision in the controls. Too little friction.

Minigames Octacade by bvanschooten 2013-05-01T16:27:00

Wow, and I had problems finishing one game. Awesome stuff! That's a lot of different mechanics to finish in such a short time. I like the psychedelic graphics, and the sound fits nicely. I had the by far the most fun playing Leaping Larry. My least favorite might be Axis Invaders simply because I suck at it. I really wish there was a restart button though. Great job creating all of these.

Beyond Minimalism by SaintHeiser 2013-05-01T15:21:00

Whoa that ending, at first I thought I broke the game, then... trees! Wonderful glorious trees! I also found potatoes. Nice and relaxing game.

10 Second Language by Loren 2013-05-13T20:08:00

Fantastic stuff. Lot's of fun to mess around with it. Also, if you write "pointy birds" you actually get a picture of pointy bird that appears to be inflating a balloon. Go figure.

Life by caporaltito 2013-05-01T18:08:00

Really cool idea, just needs to be developed a little more. I studied a lot, got sick and died. The world is cruel. Love the concept.

Minimalistic Home Trashing Services by Exergy 2013-05-01T17:37:00

Whoa pretty sweet game. Moving the items around made me feel like a poltergeist. Hmm, another game idea perhaps? My bed also got stuck in the wall. I'm a clumsy ghost.

MinimalFive by ToadieTechnika 2013-05-01T20:13:00

Really fun game(s), played through the whole thing. Great idea and funny story. Great variation.

Orbicular by metalcan 2013-04-30T09:59:00

Thanks all! @Haydn yeah, the game is brutal like that, sorry.

Orbicular by metalcan 2013-04-30T12:24:00

Whoa, thanks for the encouraging comments you guys, again, sorry about the difficulty. Let's pretend it's supposed to be near-impossible, and dying is being reborn, or some other pretentiousness. ;)

SUMOMIMAL by Conve 2013-05-01T18:16:00

Cool game. The movements gave the simple shapes a lot of personality.

Mystic Door - by The Mystic Souslik Team by Tipyx 2013-04-30T09:05:00

Fantastic graphics style. Played through the whole thing, just had to know what was behind that awesome door. The lack of sound makes me sad though, and the controls could be smoother, but I love the style and the feel of it.

TATERUSH by nicotuason 2013-05-01T17:58:00

Sweet game, I played it all the way through. Didn't the Russians try this once, but ended up with vodka? Shame there is no sound, I would have liked to hear what a potato sounds like.

Tendril by Greg Power 2013-05-01T19:33:00

Brilliant game. Really original, addictive and fun, I absolutely love it.

Blue and Yellow by evoker 2013-04-30T14:10:00

Neat concept. I kept imagining the red dots as ghosts that only move when the lights are off. Kinda creepy. It might be nice to have the player stop when the color changes, to avoid sliding into red blocks while not being able to move.

Meteoranger by Jhelle 2013-04-30T15:00:00

Brilliant game. I destroyed my own city with the superweapon, so in a way this is a pretty accurate simulation of what would happen should I get my hands on such a weapon. Beautiful graphics, and behold, it actually has sound, and it's even pleasant. One of my faves so far.

Color Treason by dcarogame 2013-04-30T09:24:00

Love the big tooth monster that tries to eat you. The graphics are pretty. I found the game very easy, and eventually win condition wouldn't trigger, even though I'd gotten to the end of the level. I just kept going into the darkness. The sound is a bit harsh, but it's much better than no sound at all. Awesome idea that has lots of potential.

Towers of Rage by robotality 2013-04-30T12:50:00

Loved the graphics and sound! Really cool little game. I didn't like that when I punch or kick, I have to press the movement keys again to start moving, and it would be fun to be able to jump, but it's still amazing.

Canon by sparkleswirl 2013-05-02T10:47:00

Lots of fun, and really hard. Awesome use of sounds. It's all very fitting to the theme. Really cool idea, well done on making a very complete game.

MUBIC by Hadyn 2013-05-01T16:05:00

Really cool, and really difficult, but I see where you're coming from. You have to remember the different tones. I just end up confusing myself with spinning the cube. Yeah, it would be easier with different colors, but it would be a different game. Pretty sweet. Love the sounds.

h o m e by mtthwcmpbll 2013-04-30T15:17:00

Love the idea. The audio clues are genious. Nice relaxing game, with lots of potential. How about adding more mechanics? Would be lovely on a touch device as well.

Drimonna by Colapsydo 2013-05-26T19:15:00

Congrats on this super original entry. Even though they are just squares, I imagine them being armies frantically gathering resources. At first I got my ass kicked, but once I got it, the AI was fairly easy to beat. Really clever game.

Winter's Bane by Winterblood 2013-05-01T19:53:00

Really cool game. Making patterns is fun. I like the look of the characters and the trees, so pointy. It's only missing some pointy birds, o pointy pointy.

Earthglueobia by bobiniki 2013-04-30T13:50:00

Wiglues, bow before your lord Biglue, the rightful ruler of Earthglueobia. Weirdly this is the second potato themed game I've played today, and I like it. Who knew spitting potatoes could be fun?

Cutato by Jalict 2013-04-30T09:37:00

Cool game. Got a score of almost 4000. Love the detail put into the potato peeling. The difficulty is pretty random, but overall it's fun.

Dodge by yokcos700 2013-04-30T14:51:00

Brilliant little game! Love the style. I welcome the sounds after playing a bunch of silent games. They're a little harsh, but they remind me of the old beeping computer speakers. Simple gameplay, but challenging in an awesome way.

Taking Sides by jamioflan 2013-04-30T15:37:00

It doesn't respond to my keypresses, so I can't move, only shoot.

Taking Sides by jamioflan 2013-05-01T14:52:00

Okay I got it working, and I've got to say it's pretty awesome. Didn't expect multiple levels and bosses. I only got as far as the pentagon boss. Really cool idea, but kinda hard to figure out what to do in the beginning, not knowing how to progress. But turns out it's really cool if you stick with it. Good job on the sounds too, they fit the game well.

SPACE CANNON 2082 by scottychips 2013-04-30T15:31:00

Super cool retro graphics. Kinda wish I could fly around, but it's still fun. The enemies look awesome. The sound is very nice too. Great job on the visuals, it's beautiful in a kind of 80's retro way.

Knightly Knight by dsoft20 2013-04-30T15:12:00

Neat game. It took me a while to find the princes, and I might have killed her while trying to fight off a swarm of thugs. Pretty cool, but would be nice with some indication of where to go, and the walking feels too slow. Fun concept, and nice visuals.
