LD29 — Beneath the Surface

Oh My Oilrig! by manabreak 2014-04-28T13:07:00

This crashed on me once, but played ok the second time. I love your graphics they have a real polished look.

Ben Eath The Surf Ace by mess110 2014-04-29T20:28:00

Great idea, something a little different.

Aqua by littleball 2014-04-29T21:14:00

Nice game, i liked your style of graphics. The collision issues didn't really bother me, I could just get to the treasure quicker :-). Well done.

UnderMine by aritzh 2014-04-28T13:37:00

I am getting a java exception when i try and run the jar.

Sub Bomber by Rahazan 2014-04-28T13:52:00

Very difficult. But fun.

QP : Fix the leak! by ElStevo 2014-05-03T01:06:00

Nice game, very original. Well done.

Insect War by mikedirl 2014-04-28T13:20:00

Re Gins && ccglp comments: this might just be a problem with the web version as it uses web gl. Try the jar instead.

Act Natural by LewisW 2014-04-28T13:00:00

I loved your idea. It has a nice mood and sense of paranoia.

Gun Digger by unprompted 2014-05-01T02:06:00

Its a very cute game, I like your graphics especially the way the sprites move, the sounds are good as well. The whole thing has a nice feel to it.

Beneath the Mind by PeculiarCarrot 2014-05-01T20:53:00

I enjoyed your game, your take on the theme was also interesting. I found it very hard to kill an enemy without taking a hit myself, but the game save points were never too far back so it was ok to die.

Memory Eater by Zyper 2014-04-28T12:44:00

The colors get very trippy after a few minutes. I dont know if it is intentional or not but it looks cool.

Frank the Fish by eastes 2014-04-28T12:39:00

Very difficult but also very interesting. I think I need a more power full computer to play these 3D games.

Upside Down by simon02 2014-05-01T21:00:00

Interesting idea and looks to be well executed but I cannot get past the first level.

No Eyes Willy by blockbot 2014-04-28T14:14:00

Lovely game.

Reflection by thebmxeur 2014-04-28T12:52:00

Great game idea, it takes a while to get accustomed to the switching behavior bet its good fun.

The Dead rest Beneath Us by flrn 2014-04-28T11:02:00

I love your idea. The game is very atmospheric, the music and the visuals are very haunting.

Coal Not Dole by badlydrawnrod 2014-04-28T16:29:00

This is a fun game. I love the sounds. Well done.

LD34 — Two Button Controls / Growing

Aaaaah! Crows! by Todnut 2015-12-19T12:22:00

Fun game, very enjoyable from the start, the graphics are very pleasing to look at.

LD35 — Shapeshift

Symblyx by AgentParsec 2016-04-18T21:00:00

Nice gave, pretty addictive. Would work great on the phone.

I Ordered A Different Burger by garygreen 2016-04-19T21:20:00

Good work, nice graphics and an interesting plot. I find these text based games very enjoyable, especially after playing more interactive games.

Angry Squid by Pent 2016-04-18T07:24:00

I like it but then again I always like destruction games

Glurge Purge by MiniBobbo 2016-05-01T10:08:00

Good fun, the enemy eating you is a nice effect.

Boring Human Existence by chunkybrewster 2016-04-18T20:01:00

I enjoyed your game, I found the graphics and sound had a nice retro feel.

This game has potential, its a pity you didn't add a couple of levels more, it looks you did most of the hard work with your game mechanic and sprites etc.

Wizard Quest by mikedirl 2016-04-18T18:49:00

The bug where you fall through the floor if you die after the leap of faith is resolved.

CubeShift by JangoBrick 2016-04-18T20:57:00

Nice idea and game, took me a while to get the hang of it.

Shapeless Island by tanjent 2016-04-18T18:58:00

Interesting game, the game play was very different than anything I've seen before. You did a great job making an intro and having the island graphic with the levels. I enjoyed it.

One problem I did notice was that when you pressed the down arrow key the whole page scrolled down as well as your character, it could get annoying after a while.

Hexshaper by excaliburjs 2016-04-19T20:55:00

Enjoyable game, good idea and use of theme.

Walking Simulator by Arskiainen 2016-04-19T20:32:00

Its an easy game but good fun. Reminds me of those sports computer games in eighties where you had to waggle your joystick (sounds a bit rude doesn't it) to run faster.

OBfu by zowesiouff 2016-04-18T07:30:00

Enjoyable, I found it quiet difficult.

Swim Away! by Sabina Lis 2016-05-01T10:13:00

It took am a couple of goes to figure out how to proceed, but when I did it was enjoyable.

Breaking Fat by SantiHisteria 2016-05-01T10:26:00

Great graphics, and the intro was really enjoyable. I liked the mood of the game. It was very difficult though.

Hungry Blue Fox by ThaRemo 2016-04-18T19:30:00

Very nice graphics and music make for an excellent atmosphere, its a pity you hadn't more time to make it longer. I really liked your 3D modeling, you will have great fun when VR headsets are more common.

Shape Running by maartene 2016-04-19T21:24:00

Good game, after a while your muscle memory takes over and you dont have to think about what key to press.

Cataway by justacookie 2016-05-01T11:49:00

Great idea to use the terrain as part of the game play. The game had a nice feel to it, the characters were cute and the graphics were very bright and appealing. Enjoyable game.

Helium-4 by mountainstorm 2016-04-22T12:36:00

Great idea, I like the way you made a game that incorporates learning with game play.

Trolldom by Retallicka 2016-04-20T22:30:00

Nice game, I love the way some of the graphics are actually water color paintings, it definitely gives it more an earthy feel.

Flipsy Shapes by Persimonn Pomelo 2016-04-18T07:28:00

Fun game, would work well ported to phone.

Monstershift by redwizard 2016-04-22T12:29:00

Nice platformer, very cute graphics and had a nice feel to it.

Avoid the Wall Simulator 2016 by avoidwallcrew 2016-04-18T19:09:00

Fun game to play, the concept was a good use of the theme.

The game play was a little on the slow side but it was still enjoyable to play.

Home Sweet Home by wheerd 2016-04-18T07:21:00

Interesting idea, starts off very simple but gets more challenging quickly. I like your graphic style as well.

CDO by A_Cupcake 2016-04-19T20:50:00

I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do but the user interface looks good and interacting with the shapes is implemented well.

LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

Punk at the Opera by rjhelms 2018-04-27T20:56:38Z

Nice game, fun to play, started off easy and had a nice progression to more challenging.

PlatyPad by euske 2018-04-24T12:30:17Z

Good game and made with your own game engine as well. Its a nice idea its also makes a change that there is no endgame, sometimes you want to play a low stress game. The graphics are nice and retro kinda like the spectrum.

Bullet Break by JCMonkey 2018-04-23T07:21:06Z

Enjoyable game, it has a very good atmosphere with the graphics and mood music

AstroDeck by Ben Pearson 2018-04-25T00:11:25Z

Good game, I always enjoyed playing asteroids and this was a good extension of the idea, the graphics were nice and fit the game style well. BTW I was playing the web version and everything was visible for me.

Cowboys vs Aliens by nidup 2018-04-24T13:04:25Z

Lovely game, all the carnage is great fun. I like the graphics style and the way the cowboys run away or die. The game also plays well and the controls are easy to use.

Mortal Keybat by dob 2018-04-23T21:25:04Z

This game is great fun. There is alot of personality in the game. The typing to control the fighting is an interesting idea, i just wish I could type faster. The retro style and graphics are nice as well.

Dropship: Orcs in Space by Ben Hopkins 2018-04-23T21:09:18Z

Brilliant graphics and mood. The ships gravity was a little bit strange, took a while to learn to fly smoothly, good game.

Flatformer by Nick Rafalski 2018-04-25T20:40:59Z

Very enjoyable game. The game mechanics worked really well, found the game play had the right balance between challenging and beatable. The sound effects were fun.

Tetrikaruga by gre 2018-04-25T20:49:10Z

Nice game, your tetris part was nicely implemented, especially in 48 hours. The added extra of the bullets made it much more challenging. You music was excellent as well.

RUN JUMP TYPE by ppNovAqq 2018-04-23T20:44:34Z

Interesting concept, could be extended as a typing practice game with more commands and having to type the command fully each time. Good fun to playing it.

Tumblenaut by kelbg 2018-04-25T20:57:25Z

Fun game, took me a few seconds to figure out I was making progress going to the right as the background starfield wasnt moving (I know in space it doesnt but in games it normally does to convey motion). The game was very enjoyable, took a while to get the hang of the controls but when I did it was great. Your graphics were very nice as well, especially your starman.

Space Maths by mikedirl 2018-04-24T06:26:35Z

Not sure why people are saying the game needs screen shake, the screen shakes every time you destroy a gate. Sometimes when the game speeds up it shakes almost constantly as you try and survive.

Space Maths by mikedirl 2018-04-24T09:17:47Z

Sorry @gemberkoekje I mis-interpreted your original message. Thanks for the feedback and clarification.

Alien Farm by brandann 2018-04-25T17:05:30Z

Enjoyable game. Very relaxing experience playing the game. The graphics were nice liked the smooth motion of the sprites and animations made it feel very chilled.

Colony Sniper by ab200 2018-04-23T19:57:15Z

I liked your game, interesting and funny sound effects and graphics, the aliens where particularly nice.

Speed Dating by kbjwes77 2018-04-25T01:32:41Z

Funny game, the sounds were very well done. Found it very hard to control the car but got better over time. The graphics looked nice.

Rock Reach Flag by willowblade 2018-04-23T21:17:59Z

I loved the art style of your game, reminded my of that minute physics youtube channel. I did find the game very difficult, took me a long time to make any progress, but it was a good challenge.

Punch Rock Scissors by ryzy27 2018-04-23T21:30:17Z

Great fun the play, hard to pock the correct action quickly, liked the style and mood of the game.

Red Shirt Engineer by Noxbuds 2018-04-25T13:03:37Z

Interesting and very clever use of the theme, took me a while to figure out how to play though. This must have taken a massive amount of work to do in 48 hours, almost a mini logic gate designer. The concept has a alot of potential for expansion. Enjoyable game.

TD Racing by AllesKapaul 2018-04-25T00:16:41Z

Nice graphics for a 48 hour game. I played the web version and it was very hard not to get hit and destroyed. But it is a good game.

Pong 'Em Up ! by MrSchlag2 2018-04-25T00:22:41Z

You really did succeed in Combining 2 Incompatible Genres, it works well though. The pong in itself was enjoyable but additional aiming stuff was an added bonus. Sound would have enhanced the game. But it plays well.

Battlefield Hearts by zanhava 2018-04-23T21:01:46Z

Enjoyable game, the missions was nice an simple for someone like me who doesnt play many first person shooter games (did first two). The bad guys are very well done.

Road Rules by Sky 2018-04-25T01:28:36Z

Lovely game, played the web version and saw no noticeable lag. The graphics and driving control were well implemented. Very fun and playable game.

Memory Warfare by dirtymoonz 2018-04-23T07:25:45Z

Good challenging game very hard game to master, great for improving mouse and keyboard skills. Love your graphics, the bunny squeaks are cute as well.

Putt-Kill by JezPez 2018-04-24T23:57:35Z

Interesting idea and it works very well, its a very easy game to get into very straight forward but still challenging. I like the way you implemented the aiming and power mechanic, it felt very polished.

Click Soccer by Kurama_Youko 2018-04-25T01:23:43Z

Amazing that this runs in codepen. The graphics look lovely, the players have a Subbuteo look about them. The AI is lacking which is to expected as you said you did all this in one day.

Birdy by HagamosVideojuegos 2018-04-25T00:04:14Z

Cool game, I really must learn to type more quickly. Lovely graphics and cutesy atmosphere. Plays well.

Platform Bubble Shooter by Zamecki 2018-04-23T20:49:06Z

Interesting game, once you get a feel for the physics bounce behaviour it become much easier. Very enjoyable.

Cat Pack by Potondo 2018-04-23T07:32:33Z

Good idea, everyone loves cats :-) difficult at start but it got easier quickly. The game mechanics are good but take a while to master.

Fishing With Mr Bear by GexAlmighty 2018-04-25T19:59:52Z

Great suspense in this game, everything looks and sounds so eerie. The game has a good sense of fun as well. Very enjoyable.
