LD18 — Enemies as Weapons

Kanbran by DrPetter 2010-08-29T15:21:00

Very nice game - even your placeholder graphics are 10 times better than mine! The game reminded me a lot of Contra, style-wise.

The only complaint I had is that it's a bit difficult to kill enemies when there are only 2 left (took me a while to figure out how to get out of level 1 due to that).

Loputon by pekuja 2010-08-29T13:18:00

Cool game and good use of the theme - well done!

I had a bit of a bug with the Windows download version - at 1280x1024 the sides were cut off (I couldn't see my high scores for example).

Ace Disguise Master by Diet Chugg 2010-08-29T12:10:00

Interesting idea and great music!! Could be pretty cool if you could implement all your ideas...

It was a bit vague though to figure out, it made more sense now afterwards after reading through the comments... so maybe a tutorial would've been good.

Enemy Snooker by skintkingle 2010-08-24T12:33:00

Fun game - great effort! :)

Agree that the lack of diagonal movement became a little annoying after a while.

The Robots and I by PaulSB 2010-08-24T11:39:00

Very nice for a first entry - well done! Good idea, theme and graphics - was just a bit too random and pointless to be fun for me.

Your hacking mechanic is very similar to what I used in my game: your implementation was quite nice in the way that it let the player know when the hacking is working and how far an enemy is from being hacked (I failed on those with my implementation).

Wenemies -- The Weapon Enemy Simulator by vitae 2010-08-29T14:05:00

Reminded me a bit of the surfing segments in Ninja Turtles fighting games :)

Could've been nice with a bit more work on the presentation.

Sporg by voxel 2010-08-29T12:50:00

Nicely done for a first time entry! A fun game - even though it had me cursing the hit detection when walls that I thought would cover me didn't!

The slow moving player was a bit frustrating, but then I can imagine it would be tough to balance movement speed with shot speed considering the mechanics...

Appreciated the humorous one-liners at the bottom of the screen :D

Fail-Deadly by invicticide 2010-08-23T14:29:00

Loved it! It took 3 plays to win and even the ones where I lost were fun! After winning I wished for more levels :P

Grabitas by NMcCoy 2010-08-25T15:57:00

Awesome fun game!!! It was quite cool towards the end of my play that I seemed to have a choice between just dodging the enemies and letting them mostly destroy themselves versus grabbing them and going berserk trying to kill many with one shot...

Very well done!

Zombies as Weapons by Surrealix 2010-09-02T13:34:00

Cool concept! I think this could make a really cool game if you got to the art (gore), dismemberment and made it a bit more difficult :)!

Great technical effort for 48 hours and nice journal!

Spider Hunt by Gigacat 2010-09-02T13:49:00

Nice entry - the collision issues were a pain, but if you fixed that this could be fun! The stunned spiders looked cool :)

I also didn't like that you had to kill all the spiders to advance (stopped me from continuing past level three because it was very unforgiving).

iceFIREice by Jhelle 2010-08-23T14:11:00

Very nice game for a first entry!

I got stuck on the 4th level and it wasn't enough fun to replay all the levels to get back there, but other than that very good on the graphics, innovation and theme.

PuzzaBOMB by McFunkypants 2010-09-03T22:50:00

You've made a very nice game! Very well done and sorry you didn't make it in time for the competition!

Your graphics are great, the sound was good (loved the zombie laugh) and the gameplay was fun, well done!

I had some bugs on my first play through (transparent ground on level 1, got stuck in the castle bits on lvl 5 with some bombs next to me that never went off - have screenshot mail me at mattpwest@gmail.com if you want to see).

The ball rolling mechanic in itself is quite fun, I think a bomber man + marble madness (had to go Youtube that) could make for a pretty fun game! I would throw in some Carmageddon TDR2000 for ideas as well, because for some reason it reminded me of that...

Singularity Smash by quin 2010-08-24T12:17:00

Very nice - the intro was nice and set the tone very well!

Basketball girl by JDruid 2010-08-28T15:51:00

Very cool entry - well done! It's quite innovative, fun and I enjoyed the music.

Undertone Continuum by zigs 2010-08-27T15:23:00

The colour mixing is a very interesting concept and I think it has potential! The game was also quite atmospheric in the sense that I felt like I was in some weird anime movie - great job on getting such a good looking entry done in the short time-frame!

Unfortunately, I have to agree that the game was quite counterintuitive and hard to pick up and play. It seems largely down to luck whether you can get the right colour droplet, near the right colour walker in such a direction that you can line it up for a shot - so that drains the fun quite a bit.

For me it would've felt better suited to the theme to maybe rather use a mechanic where you eat the droplets to mix up a colour - then fire that colour with a left click of the mouse (clearing you're palette again so you shoot white): gather up the right types of enemies then use them to kill one of the big hitters. That way you would HAVE to use your enemies to damage any enemies other than white ones (where currently you can kill around 30-50% without using enemies). This could also greatly simplify your control scheme from wasd + 4 keys to: wasd + lmb shoot + rmb zooms.

Rainbow Hero by chaotikZA 2010-08-23T04:20:00

Sorry about that, I've changed the sharing permissions so that it should be accessible without creating an account now.

Hopefully I can sort out my the PHP file upload size limit on my hosting account soon so that I can do away with using Google docs completely...

Rainbow Hero by chaotikZA 2010-08-23T05:38:00

Ok, sorted out my hosting - everything is now direct links... so you should be able to access it now!

Rainbow Hero by chaotikZA 2010-08-23T22:08:00

Thanks Breakdance McFunkypants - glad you enjoyed it!!

@Danik - you use the SPACE BAR, but you have to hold it in for a second or two... maybe I should document that better or give better cues (audio as well instead of just visual).

Rainbow Hero by chaotikZA 2010-08-24T03:07:00

Just added a Java Web Start release of the game, which I've tested to confirm that it work on Windows & Linux :).

Rainbow Hero by chaotikZA 2010-08-27T14:47:00

Thanks to everybody for the positive feedback! I really wasn't expecting it so I'm very pleasantly surprised (to the point where I'm considering maybe doing a post-compo version once I have time)...

@TheLastBanana - I guess I don't really have rights to that image beyond perhaps fair-use in parodying the joke theme... To be fair, I should've done my own rendering of Double Rainbow Zombie so sorry, my mistake.

Enemyinfection by Chickenwing 2010-08-27T14:23:00

Very nice effort! It feels like there's a potential gem buried in this game - it's just too difficult in its current state to find it (especially with the no viruses on restart bug)...

I keep running out of viruses... I can't figure out a reliable way to get rid of the fast little critters, so they keep on killing me. The help screen was nice, but I feel the game is too fast for the amount of stuff to remember...

I think this could be really nice with a gentler difficulty curve and perhaps a tutorial type approach that introduces enemies / viruses one at a time (oh and music / sound).

illumynate by zillix 2010-08-27T14:40:00

Probably the most atmospheric game I've played so far this compo! I agree that it was a bit too easy and the ending was a bit confusing... got the monster stuck in the corner and then wasn't sure what to do - did get the ending screen eventually after a few minutes .

Overall a very nice effort - well done!

Maze Shooter by Yoni 2010-08-29T12:56:00

Very nice for a first entry, quite fun!

Agree the movement was a little clunky and that some luck was required (once I started in a twisted little passage with no exit trapped by robots, with no room to kill them).

Enemies, (Such) as Weapons. by zlash 2010-08-29T13:29:00

The long dialogue was quite funny - just got a bit long...

Tried to play 3 times, just kept on dying to fast to really figure out what's going on... interesting idea though!

Weapon-E by hukacikanaka 2010-08-27T12:55:00

Aarrgh, springs!! Eventually got rid of the one on level 3, but was too frustrated by then to get past level 4...

A good effort, control was nice and smooth and the graphics were good enough to do their job of letting us discern different enemy types.

Would've been more interesting if there were interactions between different enemy types, but I couldn't find anything like that up to level 4?

Andrew The Angry Salmon by T8000 2010-08-29T04:22:00

A very nice entry - probably the best-looking I've played so far! I just don't feel it adhered to the theme very well...

The levels got a bit repetitive and boring for me towards the end and I also got stuck in blocks that didn't fall straight down a few times - forcing a R.

Having to set off a big bomb to win reminded me of Carmageddon TDR 2000 :P!

Wherein Obstacles [...] IN SPACE by Sam Driver 2010-08-29T12:33:00

Great looking, but it seemed jerky and slow even on my 2.4GHz quad-core with an NVidia 9600... also agree that the action was a little lacking.

Looks like a good base for fun shooter though, well done!

Robots <3 Monster by timgarbos 2010-08-27T12:42:00

Good fun and very polished - very well done!! Really liked the music too!

Could maybe have used another type of robot or two, but still great. Oh, btw - the game doesn't run in Google Chrome (Unity issue I guess, but made forced me to switch to IE to play - blech).

Money Thief by Zachary Lewis 2010-08-29T13:49:00

This is a great, well polished entry!

I have to agree with TheLastBanana that it doesn't really fit the theme though...

Jellyfish Invaders by Zoltam 2010-08-25T14:47:00

Good simple game :) - I agree that it would probably be great on a phone! Well done!

CounterAttack by Vbitz 2010-09-02T14:06:00

I didn't realize the thing at the bottom was a health bar / enemy until reading it here in the comments, so I didn't see any theme relation at first.

The gameplay was a bit simple, but other than that it looks fairly well put together.

Prot by eugeneius 2010-08-25T14:41:00

Very nice game! I enjoyed it enough to finish... the music was a bit grating, but then I can't criticize - I don't have any myself - so I gave you an extra audio mark for the effort!

Flinger by Switchbreak 2010-08-23T13:45:00

5 stars for innovation, the flinging mechanic is quite cool! I just had a hard time figuring out which way enemies will fling when I hit them - so marked graphics down a bit for that...

I had to stick with the game for 5 minutes before I started getting the hang of it, but once I did it was quite fun. Community effort was low, but overall a good effort - well done!

Metagun by Notch 2010-08-27T14:04:00

Wow! You built an awesome amount of stuff in the allotted time and it was enough fun to keep me coming back even after I nearly quite in frustration (finished eventually)!

Well done!

Dead End inc. by Basic 2010-09-02T13:25:00

Hehe, that was some funny fun :D! Well done!

Agree about the difficulty curve and that managers should splat when they hit the pavement.

Dodger by kd5bjo 2010-08-24T12:05:00

I agree with posters saying it's a bit too slow and easy to be fun - apart from that a good entry!

Constatine Sucks by Cosine 2010-08-27T15:42:00

Very nice, that was quite enjoyable!

I did feel it was a bit more enemies as powerups / tools than as weapons, but it's quite fun and I agree that it has potential.

Super Collide-Em-Up by Draknek 2010-08-23T14:01:00

A very fun and well polished game - well done!

I gave you some humor points for the super indestructible ship that shrugs of hits from asteroids that would kill millions like water! :P

I marked down a bit on theme adherence: it doesn't really feel like I'm using enemies as weapons, because hitting an asteroid with another doesn't destroy it - especially as the game speeds up I'm just blocking asteroids frantically... there's no real benefit during the latter half of the game to hitting other asteroids.

Emagtra by Super-Dot 2010-08-29T13:10:00

Interesting idea! A bit too easy though...

Bubble Tag by Sparky 2010-09-02T14:13:00

Awesome concept and great graphics, looks like its got a lot of potential!

Omnicide by nitram_cero 2010-08-29T12:20:00

Wow - great effort for 9 hours!

The throwing was a bit hard - I'm still not quite good enough to get very far...

LD20 — It's Dangerous to Go Alone! Take This!

Resurgon Futuron by DrPetter 2011-05-03T18:39:00

Fun flying mechanic, but I also had some difficulty seeing where I'm going, taking away any sense of control / strategy... Very nice graphics!

Fishing vs Aliens by shockedfrog 2011-05-05T22:42:00

Really nice effort - got a chuckle from me!

Protocol Droids Get No Respect by recursor 2011-05-15T13:25:00

Has a nice little Star-Warsy vibe to it, well done!

Was also disappointed by the EMP *Blaster* that ended up being realistic instead of pew-pew...

Thank You Hobo by Chris Zamanillo 2011-05-21T20:54:00

Never got the rocket launcher :( - many bomb-launchers and machine guns and a not-very-shotgun and flamethrower once or twice...

Very cool little game - I quite liked the art style and the old hobo was funny! :P

... Take This Triangle!!! by Jacob 2011-05-15T10:18:00

Awesome gameplay I loved it (and my fiance too)!

I also went for minimal graphics, but this entry showed me how it should be done!

Hangman by mattdev 2011-05-15T09:31:00

Nice entry, well done! I only got to level 3 or 4 though, so I missed the ending... The graphics and sounds were quite good!

The game was difficult for the wrong reasons (unreliable glitchy controls) and levels designed so you have to play through and die before coming back and doing it right... that killed the fun factor for me (though the basic rope swinging mechanic is quite fun).

I Don't Need Your Stupid Weapons by Fifth 2011-05-14T22:05:00

Clever idea, well done! Old men are a bit frustrating, but I guess that's the idea...

It's dangerous to go alone, take these shiny things! by NeiloGD 2011-05-14T19:00:00

Really awesome little puzzler - well done! I enjoyed the puzzles and the graphics - some psychedelic music would've gone nicely along with it :P!

Clone Wolf by jarnik 2011-05-21T17:02:00

Cool concept and well executed! Congratulations on a great entry!

Many Small Hands by amassingham 2011-05-22T14:46:00

Great little entry, I quite enjoyed it!

The spacebar to control group size bit was a tad unintuitive, may be better if that was also mouse controlled with buttons to select number and send the group.

TAKE THIS!!! by SonnyBone 2011-05-22T15:21:00

The sound effects were great and very funny - made the game!

Would've been awesome if they fought back!

Space Bombers by john 2011-05-14T21:56:00

I have the technical prowess to make this run, but expecting me to go hunt dependencies is a bit much... You should use something like py2exe next time if you want useful feedback.

Screenshot looks decent and well done for being able to finish an entry at age 15 - keep trying!

Legend Of The Sord by snowyowl 2011-05-22T14:57:00

Nice levels and puzzles - well done!

Take this! (and everything else) by Petzi 2011-05-14T21:18:00

Very nice 1st entry - well done!

Squaretackular! by rolfeth 2011-05-11T17:41:00

Nice attempt and interesting graphics! Controlling two characters when they're kinda hard to distinguish is too hard - would've been better if player 2 was the doggie, then it wouldn't be so easy to confuse characters...

4 TEMPLES by MoltenMustafa 2011-05-05T23:30:00

Wow, very well done! Finished it!

WHALE of a TALE by moltanem2000 2011-05-21T17:29:00

Damn, download doesn't want to start for me :(... Looks real interesting!

A Really Big Rock (Compo Release) by NateNaterson 2011-05-21T20:26:00

Nice cutscene and good gameplay and graphics!

The jiggling tiles whenever you drop the rock really give it a feeling of great weight :P!

Finely Tuned Corridormabob by skintkingle 2011-05-10T20:26:00

Interesting entry - well done! Everybody else already said everything...

Don't Go Alone by pgil 2011-05-03T20:16:00

Excellent - a work of art!

PandaBot by Little Angel 2011-05-14T18:08:00

Wow really nice entry, well done on the robot graphics and the interesting concept!

If it wasn't for the post here saying you could jump I'd have thought this was a very bare-bones prototype - went back and I think I finished what was there...

Dragon Island by zdanielz 2011-05-03T21:50:00

The game does have a very nice atmosphere, but I agree that the gameplay needs some work - nice effort though!

Btw, had a crash issue on Windows XP - had to set the executable to Windows 98 compatibility to be able to play.

The Last Survivor by Benn 2011-05-14T22:15:00

Brilliant - well done!

CaveBot by PJ Pretorius 2011-05-21T15:43:00

Nice work - well done on finishing!

I thought the characters and items looked quite good and the movement physics while not great are not *that* bad - I've felt a *LOT* worse these last 3 weeks :P!

Wurrums by Gobo 2011-05-11T19:42:00

Very nice entry! Quite enjoyed the wormy, gory fun in spite of the frustration of killing myself!

N3: Name Not Needed by nutink 2011-05-14T18:28:00

Nicely done, obviously not very innovative (then again my long-term game project I'm working on is also a vertical shooter), but I kinda enjoyed it! Keep up the good work!

It's dangerous to take this ... go alone! by Zaphos 2011-05-22T14:17:00

LOL :P

Urguff by Lerc 2011-05-03T18:31:00

Pretty indeed!

The Legend of Mulida by Nora Shishi 2011-05-21T18:59:00

Found the mouse-only controls to be a bit of a frustrating gimmick so I didn't really enjoy this :(...

Good looking and sounding entry though, well done!

Light The Way by KilledByAPixel 2011-05-13T20:48:00

Wow - awesome for 10 hours of work! Well done!

Kobold Goes Alone by NMcCoy 2011-05-15T09:17:00

Nice little fighting game! The controls were quite responsive and the music and sound enhanced the game - also got to level 7, so I'm guessing there's a bit of a difficulty ramp there... a way to continue would've been nice so I could see if there was an ending of some sort.

The Last Robot Standing by jfroco 2011-05-11T18:10:00

Very nice game - everything worked together very well! It's brutally hard, but cooled down, came back and finished it...

I think you succeeded very well at your Filmation engine imitation, because the game reminded me of Alien 8, which Wikipedia says was also built with Filmation!

The only complaint I have is the controls - they felt weird (felt like it was rotated 90 degree to movement, but that may just be mental short-circuit on my part) and I got killed numerous times going from room to room due to lag holding down a button and lagging on loading.

Wild Forest by haqu 2011-05-11T20:33:00

Gameplay was a bit simple, but the graphics were absolutely lovely! Well done!

VIGILANCE by randomnine 2011-05-09T22:44:00

Brilliant! :D

Take This by dadads 2011-05-21T18:19:00

Nice entry well done!

I sucked at it though, maybe from not having played Minecraft, but it just seemed very random to me what worked and did't - couldn't really figure out more than 5 items either...

Yhn by Jhelle 2011-05-21T17:57:00

Very cool game - well done!

Agree that the wall-climb mechanic took a bit of getting used to but was quite intuitive to use once grasped. Restore points would've been nice, but Q to skip is a good alternative for those times you die from a spike a inch from the exit :P!

Monsters Dont Like Water by Manuel777 2011-05-03T18:26:00

Also stuck at the pit... nice looking game though!

The World Above by Danik 2011-05-13T21:54:00

Really nice game, quite enjoyed it! The graphics and sound worked together very well to make this quite atmospheric. I think an indicator of how far from the surface you are would've been a nice touch..

The long wait after hitting something was a little annoying, but I can see how it would've been worse if it caused death, so I think its a good compromise to make the game more accessible.

Atomic Pinball by Toeofdoom 2011-05-21T21:33:00

Cool graphics and music and it was interesting to see a pinball game :P...

Just not much fun, but well done on trying something unusual in the first place!

Lone Tank by chaotikZA 2011-05-04T05:34:00

I should've spent some more time on the cutscenes but time ran out. The idea was that in the first battle you are an infantry-man and your side gets routed, so you decide to go on alone... fortunately someone gives you the keys to the tank in the warehouse.

Item Quest by Dan C 2011-05-03T21:40:00

Nice :) - I enjoyed it!

Against the Wall by Acheron 2011-05-15T15:17:00

Well done on finishing an entry with an interesting concept!

The controls felt a bit fiddly for me though: mouse sensitivity too high and jumps too small, making it a pain to control rather than fun...

The ADD RPG by zlash 2011-05-14T20:44:00

Hehe, it was funny - well done! I think I may have missed some minigames, not sure...

Tornado by devinmoore 2011-05-22T08:35:00

Not bad for 3 hours - well done! Needs some more work to really become a game though...

Summon heroes to go home by Gornova 2011-05-21T22:54:00

I left graphics N/A due to the tileset issue, but rated the rest...

Looks like an interesting idea, maybe if it was clear which heroes were good against which enemies it would help and maybe adding an element of defense too perhaps?

Well done on finishing something!

Dwarvenly by AndrewBC 2011-05-21T16:40:00

Sorry it wouldn't run for me... sounded interesting though! I'm on Firefox 4.0.1 - it connected, then disconnected then switched to a cannot connect error page from Firefox. All before I could even do anything...

Change of Heart by sfernald 2011-05-14T21:10:00

I really like the concept, but also had the same experience as Winterblood... text would probably take away from the atmosphere, so a way to skip backwards / forwards would be nice...

Good attempt!

Questling by Flyboy 2011-05-14T20:06:00

Awesome entry really enjoyed it! Would love to see this developed further!!! The music was OK, I've heard far worse.

Deathbot Love by Zutty 2011-05-11T19:50:00

Very nice graphics! Pity you didn't have time to add more gameplay...

Sonar by Nugsy 2011-05-15T15:02:00

A really nice game with a cool concept, well done! Especially liked the sonar's graphical effect.

You sadistic bastard :) - I couldn't get very far though... no restore points - why?! I may try again when less frustrated...

Here, have a spaceship! by bear 2011-05-11T20:20:00

No Mac, sorry...

The Legend of Danger Kitten by Daniel X. Moore 2011-05-15T10:02:00

Really cute game!! Unfortunately I didn't get the audio so can't rate that, but really enjoyed the animations and even though it was a literal interpretation of the theme it was a very well executed!

Love the excited 'can haz kitteh' animation!

Solo Adventurers' Hospital by chrisp 2011-05-21T22:32:00

I'm not generally a fan of colour-mixing types of games, but your execution of the idea made it mostly playable until it got to the darker colours...

Well done, interesting prototype!

My little selling shop on Earth by allinlabs 2011-05-22T08:21:00

Very pretty entry, the graphics are amazing! Well done!

I got stuck just after picking up the wall jump, because I couldn't use it to get out... maybe an easier first test of wall jumping abilities would be more appropriate?

Nano Seed by machinas 2011-05-03T22:02:00

Nice attempt - pretty good for 8 hours!

the Child by Dark Acre Jack 2011-05-14T20:23:00

Awesome entry, very atmospheric and well polished - well done!

Only negative I've got is that I got the impression (possibly incorrectly) that I couldn't die / fail, which stole from the tension a bit...

Unlimit by jrrt 2011-05-21T22:46:00

Quite an interesting idea, well done!

Found the controls a bit clunky, so it wasn't much fun for me (couldn't jump while reducing gravity - is that intentional)?

Chronos by bmfs 2011-05-15T09:43:00

Quite a polished entry and an interesting concept! Took some time to figure out what all the dials at the top meant though and the way the level is designed you can't really get back to the top once you fall down...

Deducted one mark for audio after looking at Otomata, the music added to the polish, but it seems like no work using that...

Eunaborb by krangGAMES 2011-05-21T22:40:00

Good game - well done!

The Adventures of Adam We by AdamWe 2011-05-10T20:49:00

Very nice first entry! Would've been awesome if you got in some additional content.

Brass Monkey by fishbrain 2011-05-15T11:32:00

Interesting start screen, but the gameplay was boring... it took way too long to ramp up the difficulty and then just ramped it up too much too fast.

Weirdest game I've played so far :P... well done on finishing something at least - keep trying!

CatTroller by Rockdtben 2011-05-21T21:25:00

Quite a nice effort - well done!

Diagnosis by ThatSnail 2011-05-21T20:43:00

A bit too hard for me to truly appreciate, but really enjoyed the visual style and it was quite fun! Well done!

The Dark by Shane Gadsby 2011-05-21T21:19:00

Sorry...

Torch by alexlarioza 2011-05-14T19:25:00

Looks like a good entry, well done!

I think I may have missed the good parts :-(... got stuck at a jump near some lava pretty early on...

Innocence by LegacyCrono 2011-05-14T21:31:00

Too hard for me, but fairly pretty and sounds good!

Rainy Day by Moops 2011-05-21T17:45:00

Your file hosting provider no longer seems to have your files? Trying to download them gives me a filedropper.com upload box?

Sucks... :( your game looked kinda cool.

Hammerspace by Marco Jonkers 2011-05-21T20:59:00

Simple, but nice - well done!

My first idea for this LD was to make a Gauntlet tribute (had to abort due to lack of art skills), throwing axes at ghosts reminded me of that :P...

Void Runner by FireSlash 2011-05-15T12:27:00

Managed to finish the first boss. It's a good entry, well done - sound and music worked together well!

Felt that the Z and X controls should've been swopped, I kept wanting to shoot with X and swop with Z...

Trashman by Cidolfas 2011-05-11T18:38:00

Very interesting idea! Would love to see a more complete version!!

A Colorful Man by thristhart 2011-05-15T14:21:00

Cool game and quite humorous!! Really enjoyed it, well done!

Ascent of Kings by ladron 2011-05-22T15:11:00

Great stuff, really enjoyed it! Only wished for a bit more of an ending, but given the time constraint that's understandable...

Lonely Pods by k_wright 2011-05-15T12:15:00

Well done it's a good entry with very good graphics, sound and gameplay!

I hated the controls though, felt like walking through molasses or something - too much inertia on the player character...

Dodgeball Massacre by Falcon256 2011-05-03T19:46:00

Very nice! The lighting is very atmospheric, would've been awesome if you could add music!

An Old Man And His Quest by Covenant 2011-05-11T18:31:00

Really pretty and atmospheric - well done!!

Too hard & frustrating for me to get anywhere though...

Take This Or Die by VoooDooo 2011-05-13T20:22:00

Nice entry well done! Good looking and seems fairly polished!

I just didn't enjoy it very much - it felt a but unfair towards the player with my gun shooting so slowly and the enemies apparently having homing bullets / aiming where I'm going to be... the jump physics also felt... weird...

Das Sad by Zemmi 2011-05-21T16:52:00

Quite a cool game mechanic - I enjoyed it! Well done!

Theme adherence wasn't as bad as everybody made it out in my opinion, maybe making the enemies much harder when you're alone would've gotten the point across...

It's Not Easy Being Muammar by BadgerPriest 2011-05-21T16:34:00

Very interesting concept with good graphics and sound - well done on finishing!

Agree with everybody that said the balancing was still a bit too random, but given the time constraints that would be hard to improve...

Mine Escape by Char 2011-05-11T18:47:00

Nice game - well done on graphics and sound! Pity you didn't have time to add more content...

Zom-key-bot-calypse by LiquidAsh 2011-05-10T20:19:00

Very nice graphics! Got stuck on the 2nd screen unfortunately...

I have my doubts about the gameplay - it feels like I'm watching not playing - when I did throw a battery chaos ensued contributing even more to the feeling of lack of control.

Nice attempt though - keep it up!

Shotgun by id0001 2011-05-10T20:37:00

Very nice entry! Well done!

Loonadrift by ryantouk 2011-05-15T15:49:00

Brilliant game, well done!!

About 450 ABUs...

*** SPOILER ALERT ***















Toaster :D! Awesome!!!
STOP into POTS :P...

Trollbridge Armours by ananasblau 2011-05-03T21:20:00

Something is wrong with my Chrome installation at the moment so I am unable to play :( - looks interesting...

Trollbridge Armours by ananasblau 2011-05-04T06:50:00

Nice try, pity it didn't work out... looked like an interesting idea.

Space Danger by Mr. Wonko 2011-05-11T20:24:00

I didn't have music unfortunately... otherwise not too shabby! Well done on finishing something.

Pathfinder by Jimjam 2011-05-15T11:40:00

My initial idea was to do a Gauntlet tribute, so I *wish* I could create graphics like yours - well done!

Didn't really enjoy the control scheme as much as others, the follow the mouse thing works for movement, but the fighting didn't really feel that cool to me... As an example enjoyed the mouse following control in Hamumu's entry, because you could turn it on / off with the LMB, giving more control.

Well done on finishing though, it's a pretty good entry!

Syrup by syrup 2011-05-03T17:47:00

Nice Sketchup models, but the 3D engine seemed a bit slow (I got 30fps, but it felt extremely jerky)...

Gemini by Knighty 2011-05-15T14:42:00

Great game with very nice graphics (pity about the graphics glitch) - really enjoyed it!

Didn't think controlling two characters at once would work, but amazingly it did!

The background sometimes made areas that didn't contain water look like they did, so some visual changes to fix that would be nice...

The Legend of Zelda on Budget Cuts by Mikhail Rudoy 2011-05-22T10:49:00

I've never played Zelda, so have no idea how to beat the boss... can't seem to die either even though things keep on shooting me?

Have to agree with others that the keyboard controls sucked a bit - couldn't hold movement, had to tap it...

Looks like an all right entry for the time constraints though, well done.

Bloboy's journey by Sempai 2011-05-14T21:39:00

No binary for Windows? Seems to have a missing dependency on Pyglet in Windows... I have a little rusty experience from back when Python 2.5 was still new, but I don't have time to go hunting dependencies, sorry.

An easily accessible binary distribution of some sort is really essential to getting rated, pity - your game sounded interesting...

Nitro Racer by stigrv 2011-05-22T08:30:00

Interesting idea and quite well done! Must say this is the best HTML5 entry I've played so far... most of them just crash :P.

I assumed I had to finish first, which made for an interesting get ahead but not too far ahead tension... got one of the AI cars stuck in terrain at one point leading to death :(...

Elders Items by gamemakingdude 2011-05-03T18:58:00

Not bad, looks like you got a quite a lot of stuff in and you even have music and sound!
The wall-jump required near the beginning is very hard and unintuitive (seems to take too many keypresses) and the lack of save points made it too painful to finish.

Courier of the Crypts by Blodyavenger 2011-05-22T10:32:00

Good entry given the timeframe, well done!

I also felt that there needed to be a little more mechanics wise to make it fun... On my machine I could see quite well without the torch, so some kind of alpha adjustment may be necessary...

Cheese Hunter by Kvisle 2011-05-15T12:02:00

Nice tribute to Zelda (though to be honest I never played it, so the charm is a bit lost on me). Agree that you could do more with the bendable paper clip mechanic.

All in all well done on a finishing a decent game!

It is Dangerous to Go Alone in the Dark by fueelin 2011-05-15T09:00:00

Very nice game, well done!!

The combination of minesweeper type mechanics with a horror setting and the use of audio cues was very innovative (audio did get a bit grating though)! I think you could turn this into an interesting game if you add slightly more diverse levels and an end goal (level 10 no end in sight?).

Also found the edges fairly safe routes through and the early game perhaps too easy for an experienced player, reducing replay value (see in your post you fixed this post-compo, will try it later).

Its Dangerous to go Alone! Take BUBBA! by JoJo_2nd 2011-05-21T17:42:00

Nice entry - well done!

Also found the physics a bit frustrating, but still a good effort!

One suggestion I have is why do I need two different keys to pick up and throw the Bubba - one key that picks up if you don't have him and throws him if you do?

It's dangerous to be the King! by venzon 2011-05-14T20:30:00

Very nice entry, well done! A pity it was so short and easy, but the idea has potential...

I quite liked the music and sound!

Jump Climb Die by Cybs 2011-05-21T20:03:00

Well done on an interesting game! Not sure if I like the directional jump mechanic - still not quite used to it even after making it to the brown pants level...

Ludum - the Magic bird of AWESOME by Fenmar 2011-05-21T19:21:00

Hehe, thought you're entry was made of awesome (except for crashing my browser twice and being too damn difficult - hitpoints please) - well done!

Couldn't get past level 1 due to crashes (Firefox 4.0.1).

A Steampunk Axebot Supply Run by matthias_zarzecki 2011-05-14T21:24:00

Really cool take on the theme, well done!

Not entertaining for very long, but still nicely done...

It's dangerous to "go" alone! Take this. by zachstronaut 2011-05-22T14:25:00

Great first entry - well done!

Overcoming danger with trees by Desmont 2011-05-15T12:49:00

Awesome game with a really creative mechanic! Excellent for a first time entry, well done and keep it up!

Some of the jumps were a tad hard, but I guess without them it would've been a bit too short...

Don't Go Alone by Luthwyhn 2011-05-15T16:12:00

A Windows executable would be nice... don't really have time to struggle to get your game running - it should just work ;-)!

Well done on finishing something for your first time!

Recursive Questing by Johnicholas 2011-05-15T09:06:00

Seems to be unfinished and broken :( - not sure - I've never played a Zelda game so maybe I missed something...

Take It Take It Take This by Rikkard 2011-05-21T21:45:00

Hehe, very nice - well done!

Agree with the comment that the SPACE key feels wrong... should've been all-mouse.

Heroic Cat! by Frib 2011-05-14T19:15:00

Wow, really nice entry (especially for a first LD) - your game has so much personality - it's awesome!!! Agree that the music was a bit grating, but just having music is a bit of extra polish to me, so well done!

****** SPOILER ALERT ******













Now for the bad part... you are an evil, evil person :P!

After giving me hope for kitty there's that part with the traps and the fire spewing monster and the levers - that last F jump for the top lever is impossible I managed it once in 100+ attempts and then I have to do it under time pressure :(... would've loved to see the ending :'(...

****** END SPOILER ALERT ******

Forever Alone by Fizzik 2011-05-11T19:17:00

Nice effort, well done - fairly polished for 48 hours!

I not a fan of the mash-buttons-in-order-to-do-some-abstract-task mechanic :( - would've been better if I could hit stuff with my shiny sword of confidence :P!

Mittens by VascoF 2011-05-03T18:17:00

Very nice, well done!

Egglins Attack by Sandcrawler 2011-05-15T16:09:00

Well done on finishing your first entry!

I think everything else that needs to be said has been said ;-)...

Fear of the Dark by Rialgar 2011-05-15T17:55:00

Well done, a good first entry!

Just a bit too much to control for 1 player...

Breathing Room by Shaun Inman 2011-05-03T21:24:00

Nicely done - just too short!

Spud by Adramalech 2011-05-21T19:14:00

Nice entry, well done!

Robot Village by quadtree 2011-05-09T22:13:00

Wow, really an excellent entry! Agreed on the theme problem, but then I had exactly that problem too, so who am I to judge :P!

Stalwart Umbrella Chronicles by Anthelion 2011-05-21T18:39:00

Great game - well done!

Got stuck on level 4 - just too much to dodge / block! Also thought of the glide mechanic, which I saw in someone else's game (what's with the umbrellas?).

Deadweight by ctz 2011-05-21T21:17:00

Really awesome little puzzler! Your characters though simple have lots of personality :P!

Didn't have any crashing issues, so not sure why everybody else is struggling...

Hammer Time by Garrett Hoofman 2011-05-22T07:57:00

Nice entry with cool visuals and animations - well done!

I couldn't figure out how to charge (no XBox here) and missed the message due to being in the middle of a fight :-/...

Overdead by vvheris 2011-05-14T18:35:00

Sorry, your game looked interesting, but I'm giving up, because I can't download it :(...

I *!HATE!* RapidShare - I've waited 1:50 four times now - twice my session timed out and twice it told my IP has changed (which it couldn't have unless if my ISP is doing something strange)... Next time please try using something like Dropbox or a publicly shared document from Google Docs where you can just post a direct download link that works... Rant off.

Well done on finishing a game for the compo though, keep it up!

Before Evil Come by MatrixBai 2011-05-03T19:56:00

Cool game, well done - really liked the music as Fenmar said - a goal would've been nice!

Ant General by whizzter 2011-05-11T18:21:00

Very innovative and the graphics are nice - managed to finish it and killed all the bugs on the second level :)! Well done!

QUENGON DUNGEON RELAY by d_m 2011-05-13T20:25:00

Looks promising, but I only maintain a Linux install at work where I can't play... Generally do my gaming on Windows, so a Windows executable would've been nice :-/

Quaintbrush by Jesse Chand 2011-05-03T17:11:00

Excellent idea and very addictive - I almost ragequit on the boss level, but beat it at the end!

Ngurvilar in the Temple Of Bastet by mjb67 2011-05-10T19:08:00

Nice idea, although the theme connection is a bit tenuous... I also found the ball control quite finicky, even though I figured it out early on.

All in all, well done on a fairly complete first entry though! Way better than my first entry to an LD a few years back!!

B.Y.O.B by EncryptedShadow 2011-05-15T11:52:00

The buddy coop mechanism was a cool idea, my buddy left me in jail in level 3 to "WIN" though :(! Bad fiance, bad!

Also thought the many RARs were a tad annoying, but it worked, so...

Well done on finishing something decent for your first LD!

My fiance is planning to frame the certificate :P...

EscapeBot by ahnimal 2011-05-22T10:42:00

Nice game, well done!

Found it a bit hard and it got monotonous a bit fast... a way to restore health would've been nice as well as a bit more variety in enemies.

Get the flock out of here! by phaed 2011-05-03T17:39:00

Had the same problem with OpenAL32.dll, but copied it from my game and it worked.

Quite the unique idea! Not sure how it fits the theme, but well done on finishing an interesting game!

Hero, Monster, Boss by oldsatchmo 2011-05-14T22:24:00

Nice entry, well done on an interesting take on the shopkeeper idea!

A bit too easy once I figured out the patterns so could use some variation, but good given the time frame...

Bottoms Up! by fatality674 2011-05-11T20:18:00

Looks quite nice - well done on finishing something!

The difficulty just made go aaarrRRGH!!! :P

Armageddon Moochery by mintman 2011-05-03T18:10:00

Very nicely done!

Pitch In by cambrian_era 2011-05-03T17:29:00

Quite nice, well done! Especially enjoyed the little comments from the characters as they threw stuff :)!

CUBOC by badlogic 2011-05-21T20:11:00

Very cool game well done! Much better than the other 2-3 Portal tributes I've had to suffer through so far :P...

Only thing I would comment on is that the Comp... ah ... Assistance Cube is a bit of small target to jump onto when using it to get over spikes, leading to some small frustration...

TelePortal by Robinx 2011-05-15T16:00:00

Good attempt for a first entry, well done!

Didn't find the same mechanic as fun as it was in Portal though...

Hooj by caribou 2011-05-15T13:18:00

Did this simulate tacking / sailing techniques? Had no idea... just thought the controls were broken... some instructions on that would've been nice.

Tim: Legends by morganquirk 2011-05-15T17:05:00

Great game, well done!

It's just a bit too tedious to replay a level after dying when you struggled for 10m to get past the 1st half...

Air Pirates by hamster_mk_4 2011-05-21T19:40:00

Excellent entry!

Really enjoyed the graphics and gameplay - I'm also a sucker for airships :P!

Hope to see this developed further...

"Tower Defense" by Dmurph 2011-05-22T14:12:00

Nice first entry, well done!

Could've used a bit more variation and strategy...

Danger at US Robotics by rgbDreamer 2011-05-14T18:44:00

Nice entry overall, you managed to get lots of stuff in there and good adherence to the theme - keep up the good work!

Even it it is a bit unpolished: it wasn't really clear where I should go to and in the beginning I fell off landed on a platform and found an engineer then saw another one above me and couldn't get back up so I had to restart, then later I couldn't see where to go so I tried jumping off again - to my sudden doom 1 floor down... a bit more linear level design may actually be a good idea for this type of game, like needing a gift from an engineer to progress to a next area.

It's Dangerous: The Escort Quest by nitrik 2011-05-03T17:58:00

Took me a while to figure out that I need to scroll manually and I got stuck at the first 2 bouncing red blocks :(... The slow speed at which the character moves is a bit annoying when you try the same puzzle 10 times...

Other than that, good idea and well done!

Aussie Puncharoo by avatare 2011-05-11T19:19:00

No Windows phone :( - sorry - looked interesting...

Dangerous Dan by DrunkenOrc 2011-05-11T20:04:00

Nice looking and sounding and very funny! Found the fun factor a bit lacking though :-/...

Ted, the singleminded adventurer by ghostonline 2011-05-21T19:28:00

Really cool little entry - well done!

I was very disappointed by the early FIN - it was just getting interesting! Only other criticism was the slow walking speed - hold right click to make him hurry up perhaps?

A fine day in the parking lot by DoktorAce 2011-05-13T21:44:00

Wow, excellent - well done!

You Cannot Beat This Game by markit 2011-05-21T17:24:00

Well done on finishing a game for LD!

Found the gameplay a bit of a chore (waiting to press 1 button) and wasn't sure if clicking the spaceships did anything - didn't seem to...

Grave Robbers by adamatomic 2011-05-09T22:25:00

Really innovative entry, well done! It made me think of typing tutor games... Head exploding amount of multitasking required once they start coming fast - if the traps didn't have such long reload times I'd have been bashing at my keyboard with my palms!

Officer Alfred by Hempuli 2011-05-21T22:24:00

Really awesome game - well done!

Block Push Championship by increpare 2011-05-15T13:55:00

Your story line kept me going, as I really wanted to know what happens... the text was a bit hard to read though...

The puzzles were extremely challenging, great job!

Block Push Championship by increpare 2011-05-15T13:55:00

Forgot to say: pity you had no journal entries - would've loved to see where the idea for that story came from! :P

Have You Considered the Benefits of Life Insurance by crackerblocks 2011-05-15T15:37:00

Great entry well done - it was quite enjoyable and very funny!

The Alone Sword by PsySal 2011-05-21T16:18:00

Wow that was wonderful! I rated the graphics highly, because they supported the idea of being in a dream very well for me - almost suggesting sound and form rather than spelling them out!

This really reminded of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman - also with perhaps a bit of a Cthulhu bent to it (though I think Sandman has that too if I recall correctly)?

Square Vs. Blobs by erik 2011-05-14T19:33:00

Very nice elegant little entry well done! The audio though simple, worked quite well adding to the game rather than detracting as is so often the case in LD games!

Your game mechanic is pretty similar to the one I used, but I think you managed to get more content in level-wise and in terms of polish - I had more varied enemies but no time to really use them...

Bonifaco's Bazaar by johanp 2011-05-13T21:24:00

Wow - amazing game!!

It's Nintendo hard or I just suck! Best I got was enemy castle down to 17...

Guinea Pig Warrior by tonic 2011-05-11T20:30:00

Quite nice - well done!

SpaceJump by 1009 2011-05-21T22:00:00

Liked the graphics and the gameplay was - weird!

Ship controls were kinda oversensitive and finished the platforming section by pure luck...

Legend of Parasite by Draknek 2011-05-15T09:53:00

Interesting concept and nice graphics, though there doesn't seem to be anywhere to go yet?

Reminded me a bit of the enemies as weapons theme from LD18.

ZombieRunner...Ware by TellusE 2011-05-10T19:26:00

Very well done! I enjoyed it in spite of the lack of challenge :P!

The spear so long it looks like you can pole vault with it (hint hint game mechanic idea); the baby was hilarious and I just loved sheep-riding zombie-crowd-surfing my way to 2800 kills before being killed at the end of a level, because my spear rotated to the left as the screen stopped scrolling... at least I took 2800 zombies with me!

Was a hoot and all-round very well polished - congratulations on a great entry!

Take this cloning device and multiply yourself by Balooga03 2011-05-14T20:51:00

Nice entry, marred a bit by the glitches / bugs though... good attempt, keep it up!

CAT in the city by athanazio 2011-05-15T10:30:00

Nice entry, it was very atmospheric and the intro sequence was quite funny (but not skippable - sucks for repeat plays)!

Initial framerate was also quite bad until I shot a couple of zombies at which point it became playable. Biggest other problem is the turning controls which seemed oversensitive at times (perhaps also framerate related).

Still a good entry for 48 hours, especially given the nice 3D graphics and atmospheric sound - well done!

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Underground Hangovers by Deconstructeam 2015-04-28T20:06:00

Awesome entry! Kept me coming back till I could finish it!

War Game? by Ovidios 2015-04-28T17:56:00

Pretty cool! I just got stuck on the end screen without any fireworks, so it wasn't obvious how the weapon was unconventional until I read the other comments. Probably due to running on a crappy laptop with Intel Graphics...

paper Land by kev 2015-05-06T19:55:00

The paper graphics were pretty cool! Just missing the weapon... ;-)

Scary Rocks by Pat Kemp 2015-04-24T20:26:00

Very nicely done!

Mørke by pstudio 2015-04-28T20:10:00

Good atmosphere and graphics, but I found the "weapon" a bit too weird... Also suspect I ran into some bugs at the end though so couldn't see the end...

The darkness chasing me also seemed at odds with wanting to read characters' text at times, it may be nicer if there was a bit more separation between story bits and action bits.

Much more content than my entry though, so A for effort!

LD33 — You are the Monster

Isláime by palflinho 2015-09-06T13:43:00

Hi @palflinho.

I'm a bit unsure as to what to do when I get to the red blob? Could seem to find a tutorial as to what the controls are?

Isláime by palflinho 2015-09-06T13:59:00

Figured out what was going on. Quite a nice little game. Would have been nice to see what puzzles you could come up with.

LD37 — One room

Stream of Time by Ivan Sukhanov 2016-12-14T16:36:00

No entry up for download as of 14 December 2016 @ 04:36 GMT... looks like a non-submission?
