LD28 — You Only Get One

YOGO Cookie by Lacutis 2013-12-17T08:01:00

The mother kept getting caught on the wall when I played, but I did like the concept of sneaking past mother to get the cookies and the theme being part of the narrative from the mother. Nice!

One Man Armies by pirate-rob 2013-12-17T11:32:00

I like the effects of the faux-3d, looks really cool and is really something that sets it apart even if it isn't visible in screenshots as much. That ending is difficult! Really liked this one.

Choices by madameberry 2013-12-17T06:38:00

I liked your jam entry, while I think I might have missed some options or there were only a few, I like your mechanic and replayed the game multiple times to see the different endings.

Zestboi Ice Racing by Just_delete_it 2013-12-17T06:41:00

Hah, the sound effects are great! I am horrible at this game!

Replay by Typedeaf 2013-12-17T11:17:00

Wow, this game is great! That last level really stepped up the difficulty, but it also made it really rewarding to win. I feel like this is some of the most fun I've had with LD games so far.

parallelsync by 0x0961h 2013-12-17T10:33:00

I thought the mechanic was really cool! I think the random generation of the levels is really swell technically, but it left me wanting something more handcrafted because the mechanics were so neat. Great game, really different than a lot I've played so far. Looks nice too.

You Only Get One by Broxxar 2013-12-17T10:58:00

Liked this an awful lot. Sounds were good and the puzzle was off-beat and interesting. Figured everything out relatively easily, even if it was dark. Looks good too!

Spectrum by Keith Evans 2013-12-17T11:04:00

I like this idea, it's really interesting. I feel like it fits the theme alright! Graphics are tight, there's solid audio and music. Overall an enjoyable idea that could be taken even further. My only gripe is that the controls were a little finicky, but otherwise great!

Agent One by DanielSnd 2013-12-17T08:44:00

Incredibly competent entry for the Jam, wow. Looks great, sounds good, animations and controls were okay. One of the most polished looking games I've played so far.

Darkness will crush me by ExtreLime 2013-12-17T11:44:00

A simple game, I really enjoy the concept of just one match/torch/light source. Works well here, and I think you did a great job on the atmosphere and mood with fitting music. Great!

Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game by metkis 2013-12-15T21:54:00

Thanks, I missed it at first, hope it being in a .rar is okay.

Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game by metkis 2013-12-16T13:53:00

As I mentioned in the game post, the repeated dialogue is the one thing I didn't get a chance to fix before submitting. A tutorial with back-story is also something that is really needed if I were to take it further. As my first Ludum Dare game, I learned a lot here, and I'm glad you like the game-play and art style. I appreciate that you took the time to play it.

Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game by metkis 2013-12-17T05:33:00

Thanks Nick! Until a tutorial is added it's a game that takes some effort to learn. That's not the most optimal for a game-jam game, I've learned, and I will try to make a simpler to play game next time around. I'm really glad you liked the art and mood!

Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game by metkis 2013-12-17T08:06:00

Thank you for trying it, Jakub and Broxxar. Lots of great advice!

Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game by metkis 2013-12-17T10:44:00

Thanks Whoa! I need to work on the dialogue system more, but I'm glad you liked it and found it really re-playable!

Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game by metkis 2013-12-18T23:03:00

Thank you all so far, been enjoying the comments! This is officially one of the most worthwhile things I've done this year. I am so glad I did Ludum Dare, and a big part of that is your feedback!

Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game by metkis 2013-12-20T13:57:00

Thank you Dan for making a video. I appreciate you taking the time. I know it's not the easiest to understand and the dialogue system isn't perfect. I'm glad you liked the idea, though.

@Alan, no way is everyone talking about my game Haha, it's got a lot of problems, but I'm glad you tried it.

Here's the link to the post-mortem which explains some of why things don't quite work right, and what I felt about the experience of doing my first game-jam:

Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game by metkis 2013-12-20T16:50:00

@Madball Uh oh, some dialogue is wack then. I was going to have a seperate type of investigation that led to clues that helped you solve the murder weapon and room in a more logical instead of random way. Just ran out of time for the competition. Next time, I think I'll just shoot for the jam, as you just get more polish, which means better feedback, and better coverage. Seems like a no brainer.

Gravidude by gnerkus 2013-12-17T08:36:00

Got the hang of it fast, interesting concept that looks sharp. Just difficult enough too! Love it!

Get a Job! by Coin Flip Games 2013-12-17T06:52:00

VERY long day, but in the end I was hired! Interesting take on the food-making genre.

Touch by WhoaConstrictor 2013-12-17T10:00:00

Awesome looking, great reveal at the end! I enjoyed this one a lot!

HotPotatoHorde by ludotrix 2013-12-17T11:37:00

Really polished entry with some very fitting visuals and sound effects. Great work!

The Last Promise by Team-KwaKwa 2013-12-17T08:23:00

Really interesting! I think it was a tad slow, but the game looks amazing, has an interesting narrative, and solid audio. Great job!

Nero Is Falling by LeafThief 2013-12-17T08:14:00

Loved this, very intriguing and reminds me of my entry a tad, but the dialogue seems correct. The movement was a little odd, but once I got used to it, it was fine! Really great looking game as well. One of my favorites so far.

APOKEALYPSE by OnionBlaze 2013-12-17T12:03:00

I like the idea of this game! Getting a strong Katamari vibe from the style. Love it! I'm not sure, like others, if I did good or bad, but still think it's neat in a very unique way.

Extinguished by Jacic 2013-12-17T10:42:00

Finefin is sorta right, but I played this game solo and felt like it can be intriguing that way too! Solid game, easy to pick up and play!

One Man Army by TheGreenTie 2013-12-17T10:36:00

Funny game! Love the name. Kinda ended up just running back and forth, but still fun and looks solid!

Christmas Cookie Craze by UndergroundPixel 2013-12-20T19:13:00

I think it's a great entry with good looking pixel art and an interesting mechanic. The fireplace is a cool addition too. Bonus points! Didn't run into any hiccups playing, meaning it's solid and easy to play. Great!

Shabby Buffet by Devtactics 2013-12-17T08:39:00

Hah, this is so funny, love it. I know you have problems with the physics, but I really think this one has potential. First entry to give me a big grin!

LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Lurks by Mapboy 2014-04-30T23:54:00

Interesting, great work!

SWAN QWOP by AtkinsSJ 2014-04-30T20:39:00

Hah, kinda off-theme, but I think this one is hilarious!

It Came From The Sewer by Catman 2014-04-30T21:04:00

I enjoyed the graphics, music, and sound. The gameplay is fun, but I couldn't stand losing immediately when pressing the release button the last time. Wish all rats had time to die off first.

Carnival Warfare by pinkmonkeyhead 2014-05-03T20:08:00

VERY well done. Enjoyed it!

fall by starpixie 2014-05-01T05:58:00

Simple and sweet, I enjoyed it!

Spacehack by Gallefray 2014-04-30T23:52:00

I love the return to form here, awesome. GREAT WORK.

Inside Look Activity Book by rylgh 2014-04-30T23:06:00

Interesting premise, I wish there was more of a game to it.

Adventures in Down and Up by hnjslater 2014-05-01T00:09:00

Kinda fun, quick little game. I enjoyed my brief time with it and took the time to beat it.

sirtet by ahnt 2014-05-01T00:00:00

I enjoyed how well tight the game feels. Interesting take on the theme.

FedIt! by zedutchgandalf 2014-04-30T23:11:00

A surprising amount of depth to this game, it's also really difficult. Those red dudes are so aggravating! I enjoyed it a lot.

Gold Diver by SirJson 2014-04-30T20:43:00

Kinda hard game! I really enjoyed the graphics and I love your take on the theme.

Wriggle Worm by gikdew 2014-04-30T22:57:00

Can't stand the audio, but the game idea and graphics are simple and good. Controls are also a bit finicky.

Captain John's Buried Treasures by martijn 2014-04-30T23:14:00

Interesting game, great job!

Amazing Shoplifter by Zampi 2014-05-01T00:15:00

I'm kinda confused at what to do? I love the title card, though.

Mine Story by donan 2014-04-30T23:01:00

The controls are a tad weird, but I didn't mind the game and found it relaxing. Great work making every part of the game.

Hieranarchy by joshbradbury52 2014-05-01T17:19:00

Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare entry!

Spider Miner by Brick 2014-04-30T23:55:00

I appreciate the effort, but didn't enjoy the control setup.

Beneath The Lab by Techblogogy 2014-04-30T23:19:00

One of the most innovative entries I have played. The charging was very slow, though, which became aggravating. It was also sometimes unclear what I was supposed to do, but otherwise think this was a great entry.

Cemetery Secretary by Bekokstover 2014-04-30T20:41:00

I love the graphical quality of this game. Great work!

Darkness Shines Through by Empyrealhell 2014-04-30T20:35:00

I think this was a really cool entry. I like the game-play ideas you're showing here and the audio

Darkness Looms by TeamOmni 2014-04-30T20:32:00

Lovely atmosphere, enjoyed it a lot!

Let's Save the World (again) by narsil 2014-04-30T23:57:00

I would love to see where this would end up!

Square Rooted by adamwfindlay 2014-04-30T21:07:00

Surprised there weren't many levels, but enjoyed it nonetheless!

Virophage by eerongal 2014-05-01T00:05:00

More fun than a lot of entries I've tried. Fun project!!!

Beneath the Surface by FistBumpGames 2014-04-30T20:51:00

I love the combination of pixel art and ambient effects here. Really cool. Sometimes frustratingly hard, when I want to just see the beautiful artwork.

StoneMasters by StoneMasters 2014-04-30T20:53:00

Hah, hard game! I enjoy the mechanic even if it only touches on the theme.

Under Our Feet by NicoM 2014-04-30T20:43:00

Congrats on your first Ludum Dare, great work!

Descend by rukokarasu 2014-05-03T20:01:00

Weird to use an installer. I think it's a great entry!

Myrm by Dan Norder 2014-05-03T20:06:00

Graphics remind me of the old Sim Ants. I like this one a lot!

Finna by Michael Grand 2014-04-30T20:35:00

Hah, love that silly sprout gathering mula!

Elemental Serpent by Lafie 2014-05-03T20:11:00

Thanks for providing so many sources!

Whack-a-Meme by Mallot1 2014-04-30T22:59:00

Congrats on your first Ludum Dare!

Ice Treasure by EpiphanyG 2014-04-30T20:36:00

This is really cool, especially for your first LD. Great work!

Layered by Jessica Hayley 2014-04-30T20:45:00

A solid entry, I enjoyed the mechanic of avoiding being hit making the game easier!

The Core Is Yours by 9joao6 2014-04-30T20:46:00

Reminds me of an old arcade game. I think the effects are really fun!

Ants at War by magicspark 2014-04-30T20:38:00

The graphics are stunning! I found the game to be a tad too easy, but hey, that's hardly a problem coming from me.

Jelly Hugs by Snild 2014-05-01T17:17:00

I think it's awesome you have an android build. Great work here.

Geology Rocks by theengineers 2014-04-30T22:56:00

Funny game!

Alien Lobotomy by Soup With Bits 2014-04-30T20:33:00

Pretty challenging, but I enjoyed the premise and like the look of it!

COVERUP by SFBTom 2014-04-30T23:03:00

What a very strange game! I enjoyed the sound effects and the graphics! Funny game. Is there a way to lose?

Candyland by yokcos700 2014-05-03T20:12:00

What a weird game! I enjoyed it, great work!!!

The Guy Who Fights Underground Monsters by Rusky 2014-05-03T20:13:00

Awesome work!

Demon Dungeon by snade 2014-05-03T20:15:00

Wow, this is impressive for so little time. Awesome work.

Troubling times by strong99 2014-05-03T20:16:00

VERY cool. Wish it had some music like other commenters, but looks great.

Muck McStank - Sewer Guard by Blanky 2014-05-03T20:17:00

Weirdly reminds me of Plants vs. Zombies. I enjoyed the concept. Great work!

Super Underwear by Naouak 2014-05-03T20:19:00

Hah, this is a hilarious game. I think it's a cool take on the theme!
