LD42 — Running out of space (15)

Apparatus by JustinMullin 2018-08-18T22:16:28Z ♥ 1

Intuitive and well put together entry. I can tell the UI and controls have alot of polish in it. The game feels well put together overall. The feeling of being cramped and need of expansion was communicated well. Although I personally didn't really enjoy this game - levels, more items to craft, better graphics and sound could easily change that. Although I scored it low it's one of the few in the compo I can see being pursed into a full release. There's a big market for zachy games and this one has it's own twist on the genre.

Spacecraft OS 8 by ManTou 2018-08-18T21:44:45Z ♥ 1

Cool concept. I like how doing anything in the game takes up space, haha. This game is ridiculous and difficult but that adds to the fun of it. I can't say anything bad about it. Overall great execution on the concept.

Adware Attack by AdonisDevs 2018-08-18T21:29:26Z ♥ 1

This game felt like the worst nightmare as I played, haha. It's one of those terrible but funny games. I lasted 175 seconds first try. Great concept for this theme. I really get what you were trying to get across with the ads and voices bombarding you. The game itself plays well but I do have some things I could suggest for it.

1. Not sure about the icons covered up being the end game trigger was the best mechanic. I don't read the instructions when I play a compo game just to see how intuitive it is. This part I was struggling with but I did finally figure it out near the end. I would have used a RAM meter that once filled up from all the browser windows would end the game. You could tune that to roughly the amount of windows to fill the screen. This would have been a bit easier to understand and gauge how deep in the hole you are.

2. The windows themselves could have been better with borders, title bars and a close button. The windows in this game felt more like a slide show with a hard to see 2D wire frame close button. Just overall making the windows feel more like an application or browser window would have made a big difference.

3. Kill codes. I wasn't able to figure this out right away. The password.txt looked too much like another ad in the ad. Again, some sort of better defined window would have made this more intuitive.

Overall the concept is great with minimalist execution which may or may not have been what made this game funny and nightmarish as it is. Just better defined way of ending the game and window graphics would have gone a long way.

Storage Almost Full by Sthor726 2018-08-18T21:01:14Z ♥ 0

You should have added the humor category to vote on because I would have given it a 5 star. I couldn't stop giggling the entire time I played. It's a simple and fun concept. Overall I scored it pretty high.

Only negatives are

1. The lack of music. I think some sort of music or additional system sound effects would have supplemented the game atmosphere.

2. The white background. A background that emulated a desktop would have been an easy win.

3. Better overall computer atmosphere. A CRT filter and hard drive background sounds would have worked well for this and would be an easy win with Unity.

Proto Dash by huminaboz 2018-08-18T20:43:49Z ♥ 3

Really polished entry. Love the simple mechanics. The 2.5 graphics look great. Sound is simple and effective. The only frustration I had was with the movement itself. The game played great first few stages but as more enemies came up I felt swamped. I felt like it took a long time to wind up the dash so it was a bit frustrating. If the dashes could be done faster (potential power up / combo / upgrade?) that would be the ticket to get me hooked. Overall great concept and very nice job on this one.

Escape from Space by shp 2018-08-18T20:33:38Z ♥ 1

graphics, animation, music and voice acting are top notch. The game itself is very difficult but satisfying when you can manage to keep those crabs at bay. Definitely one of the more polished titles for LD i've played so far. The only negative I can give that it's a bit repetitive and a bit frustrating.

LD42 Running out of Space by Gary Beebe 2018-08-13T04:32:23Z ♥ 1

It's pubg in outer space. Just wish the ai was a bit smarter. I could just stay still and turn in a circle and they would never hit me.

Space Runner by Guilhermoni 2018-08-13T04:25:52Z ♥ 0

cool art style. the little guy running in the space ship is a cute touch.

Le Parking by karlipoppins 2018-08-13T04:06:12Z ♥ 1

The artwork and sound is top notch. Just difficult enough to keep me in panic mode all the time. Overall great game. The only issue I had was the character freezes when I try to restart the game.

Volka by Cisco 2018-08-13T03:54:19Z ♥ 2

Simple but effective design. Most I could get was 20. Took me a few tries to figure it out. You almost have to rely on muscle memory to get a good score since the game goes so fast.

Stack City by HEXIEZ123 2018-08-13T03:34:20Z ♥ 0

haha this game is pretty funny. I got over 10m. Love the silly carnival game music. 2018-08-12 23_30_50-LD42-Running Out of space.png

SINGULARITY by Syrapt0r 2018-08-13T00:30:26Z ♥ 1

Found and reviewed this because you reviewed mine. Best one i've tried so far. This is a great little game. It has alot of gameplay. The minimalism works well for it. Everything was intuitive. The shop system is simple and works great. The only trouble I had was finding the wormhole to get out of the system but thats minor. Great job.

Space Crusher by Brallex 2018-08-13T00:04:02Z ♥ 1

Web version worked for me and I was able to complete all the levels. Its a pretty simple maze runner type game. I don't really see where the running out of space theme is in the game but overall it's a playable game.

SpaceRun by Stoan 2018-08-12T23:49:17Z ♥ 0

A pretty basic shootemup without the shooting. I don't see much variety with the game. I like the artwork though. The music and sounds are okay. I didn't really get far in the game before I got bored.

Cure Your World by teo989 2018-08-12T23:30:47Z ♥ 1

The game is okay. It felt like a pretty standard runner game. The vehicle controls felt too rigid for me and took a while to get used to it. The Insane difficulty is basically unplayable because I couldn't even get to the first pill before I ran out of space. The music could have used some more variety. I would have liked a sound effect on pill pickup and maybe some engine sound.

LD36 — Ancient Technology (9)

Five Ancient Keys by Cody Hansen 2016-08-30T12:55:00

As others have mentioned...the puzzles were rather unclear. I ended up just hitting space on everything to get through some of them. I was also not sure what level I was on besides looking in the side rooms. Might have helped if the camera moved up or down as you took the stairs. The art and music was very good though. You really built me up to get into that treasure room.

TrainStack by TheMonsterFromTheDeep 2016-08-29T05:17:00

Very cute little game. I got stuck on the coal car, white car and med car level. I tried every combination and the train kept blowing up. I would have kept playing if I didn't get stuck on that level.

No Man Has Gone Before by KevKevOnFire 2016-08-29T04:52:00

Very cool concept and terminal effects, but I don't think this follows the theme of the competition.

This is one of the better games I played though. It could work with sound/music and some additional features.

L.M.V. Edison by killthealias 2016-08-29T04:41:00

Amazing graphics and voice over. I found the computer terminal to be quite cool but I had alot of difficulty setting a new destination using the seth command. I tried a few destinations from the waypoint just without any luck. I guess i'll be stranded in space forever.

An Historic Defense by hermetic 2016-08-29T04:23:00

A very playable game. Some things I noticed.

Right click to pick up a weapon? I tried using R and Space.

I felt limited to staying around the tables with the guns. The fact I can just drop an empty gun and pick it up again later full of ammo bothered me.

Some ammo crates would have been nice.

The robots actually seemed pretty clever and the graphics looked pretty good.

A viking game by quentinus60 2016-08-29T04:15:00

Very good first entry. Seems too short to me though. Some sound would have helped alot.

Lione's Letter by acotis 2016-08-29T04:11:00

I am getting an unknown exception thrown when I try to run the jar. I do have the latest jvm installed.

Archaic Light by NinjaNic 2016-08-29T04:07:00

Very grindy but the ending was pretty cool. Some really great artwork :)

Words and Wide Spaces by Move127 2016-08-29T03:59:00

Great concept. Traveling between worlds. Trying to understand their language with puzzles to unlock their secrets. Unfortunately the puzzles are just way too hard and it's difficult to see what you get from them (some reward maybe?).

LD17 — Islands (1)

Artifact Hunt by allen

good graphics. the burping was kinda funny. running around picking up floaty golden balls got kinda boring, but the pretty sky made it a bit enjoyable as I walked around, lol.

LD13 — Roads (7)

Bullrushes by midwinter

Good concept using the road them. Directing the flies was a bit frustrating though. Response to my attempts to direct them was a bit slow, but I was able to get them to mate and go into the tree trunk.

The art style has a nice Disney magic feel to it. The fading between screens took quite a long time on my laptop and the mouse cursor gets offset if I resized the window.

It’s Done by Lorax

First thing I did notice was the graphics. Very nice characters considering a 48hr contest. Unity allows to concentrate on content instead of reinventing wheels which is nice.

The use of the roads theme is very limited. This game would be suited well if the theme was "rooms".

Things I did notice that are innovating are the holy water sprayer and health "bar".

I noticed its very difficult to attack anything in the middle of one room. Having the minions come from every direction is difficult to see them coming. It would be nice to temporarily destroy a spawn portal by pouring holy water on it until it blows up or something. So you can actually stand near the spawn for some time to fight the minions coming behind you.

Frog Rescue by Jerm

Great concept, but its impossible to control the full expanding radius of frogs. If the frogs followed some path, it may be somewhat easier to control.

Left4Bread by Fiona

A well polished entry. The blood, particles and explosions are very nice. The only thing that bothered me was the vehical accelerated too slowly and made turns much too slowly. That makes the pace of the game a bit too slow. I also got stuck in the building tiles a few times. Great gta like game otherwise!

Roads to Nowhere by erik

Amazingly simple, yet fun. Mouse one click games are always nice. Good level design. I like your food!

Interstate Trucking by Doches

A very complicated game for being created in 48hr. It definitely feels like alot of tycoon trading games. The graphics and sounds make the game feel very polished.

I found it wasn't very easy to compare two cities prices together. It would be nice to have a button that displays all the cities prices OR in each city display the price differences between the connected cities.

Hexxxy by Bleck

Very nice for a 4 hour entry!

The only improvement I see would be to add a feature to swap tiles when placing one over another and better art.

LD11 — Minimalist (44)

Typoworm by XMunkki

these small windows makes me wish the theme wasn't minimalistic. using typing as a means to control was a fresh way to play with.

Castle Adventure by Viridian

text + gfx = win. didnt have time to play through it all, but the game is nice

final version of my game by triorph

shooter with gravity wells and teleports? neeet.

warrior by tonic

i think this might be the best 3d game in this compo. it lacks some fun in the gameplay department though

Spacbattle is done-ish by tirpen

exe no workie

http://blahwebstorage.googlepages.com/Game.html by threeeffhex

sweet. didnt have time to play trough the game, but i will later.

Block Picker 1.0 – final, timelapse by sol_hsa

dunno what to say, a pretty minimalist block catching game - in a good way!

The white gazelle laughs maniacally by jhauberg

couldnt get it to run last minute, need xna. good journal though

“Desktop Rox” by sgstair

cool art theme. cant go wrong with huge black borders around everything. drawing right over the desktop was a nice touch. great timelapse

Simple Dungeon by sfernald

feels like a text game + some graphics. wish i had time to go through the game completely.

Space Stuff Trader by saluk

window was too dam small. didnt have alot of time to play through the game, but it seems to use too many keyboard buttons instead of a gui. nice attempt for an elite type game in the timeframe.

Yeah, ThingGo is a go go! by robot_guy

has a pacman + crystal cave feel to it.

Pixelman 3 by pymike

jump physics keeps me guessing. everything about the game speaks minimalistic platformer.

Origami Wars by piddlepup

like everyone said, installers for 1/2 baked games is a nono. from what ive played it seems like a basic shooter. the entry broke the rules with the music so i guess i cant rate it

The Pushers by phren

slot cars with a rubber band! im thinking to myself, wtf is a slot car game doing here :D. nice menus and feels polished.

win32.dll The Game by philhassey

dam windows flew at me too fast, is suck at clicking. pretty dam hilarious though.

Mondrian by pansapiens

hmm, this is a pretty interesting use of quads.

The Minimizing knight by nikolaj

no exe, no run, no vote :(

Battle Magic Done! by MrPhil

didnt play through it all, but from what i can see its a nice turn based game. much better then a stupid text game thats for sure. good journal + food.

Trivial Escape from Minimalist Island by mjau

although very short, the game was quite fun. it brought back my will for discovery, but only for a minute :p. artwork, food, timelapse are good

entry – Minim Madness by mariusz

i tried really hard to get those "lines" drawn. i could only get 1 out of 10 attempts.

Mininode by LunarCrisis

not sure what I was accomplishing in the game when I pressed on the nodes. i thought at first it was a match 3 type of game, but i just saw pulses go down the connected lines. not sure what the goal was in level 3. i just turned the blue blocks into red.

(T+48:48) Final Entry: BlockOut v0.LD48_11 by LoneStranger of LoneStranger Designs

cool. playing the roll as brick builder instead of the guy behind the paddle.

Final Submission by keeyai

wish had more time to play. nice shooter.

Cowbell Hero by jovoc

i tried a bunch of songs, i couldn't get the game to go in sync with the music. not sure why the player has to set the bpm manually. the graphics look great though. im not sure if this fits into the theme except its a one button game

Col-4 by jolle

sweet, never seen this done before.

Of Robots & Groglots by jlnr

beautiful artwork and a "circular" perspective on platform shooters.

Steroids by jamports

like many others, no mac here. sorry

There Is No Screwdriver by JamesDM

you still have quite a bit to learn in python and programming in general. string manipulation is a crucial part in any game weather 3d or no-d. the game has alot of bugs and should have been play tested alot better. great effort though. well written story.

Divine Asteroid Showdown by jakbob

the game feels very complete. it has a menu, music and levels. the graphics are simple, but that makes the game fit better into the theme better. the music is very nice. overal good entry

Still Pond by Hamumu

HAHAHAHAHA 747 HAHAHAHA

Sailor by gustav

fun little physics game. wish the boat could rock back and forth and have more complexity in the design. would be cool if there were online scores showing the design of the ship and the ammount of time afloat. sweet toy though.

Dot2doT by Sophie Houlden

its like match 3, except possibly infinite. its almost one button-ish. just slouch on the chair and fiddle with the arrow keys.

GBGames presents Minimalist – the by GBGames

damit, the game speed goes as fast as the player. it makes me wanna go faster and faster. its like hitting the gas to run into a brick wall thinking you can dodge it.

amazingly simple game, but fun. luv it :>

miniPals by fydo

nice use of being able to switch characters. the characters are pretty cute. not alot of levels

dots by erik

the game fit the theme nicely. not alot to the gameplay, but it was fun for a few minutes.

Exxon – The decontaminator by drZool

real nice idea. i bet you could do well on advertising dollar for this game on flash sites.

Marginal Ungolf Spectacle by DrPetter

short as heck, but the art is...nice as heck.

MiniMall by doofer

ran kinda laggy at times for me. i have a fairly stout machine (amd2 5600+, x1950 video). the game was playable though.

i spent some time just playing with the game. this is more like a toy though. there is no end to the game. its like sim city.

Leap , at least it’s something… by Devon

sweet retro bw art. one button gameplay. how much more minimal can you get?

Brainwave by Deepflame

i think i played for 30 minutes non-stop trying to get the princess to the right edge of the screen, but it gets harder when you get further to the right. unique gameplay, but the controls feel a bit clunky since your moving indirectly.

Things on Top of Other Things by chrisp

simple mario 2 take on levels. followed the theme very well.

minimalist entry by allefant

couldnt get it to run, sorry

Unknown by AK47

unfortunately i gotta put down n/a for most categories since i see no game here, but there is some substance in your journal and stuffs. wish you made that zombie game idea instead

LD10 — Chain Reaction (27)

Final Release by XMunkki

good use of the deforming terrain as apart of the puzzle. Game ran great on my x1950

Partycle Popper 1.1 by sol_hsa

no time for comments!

Space Chaos by Samiljan

ai blow themselves up with the chain reaction. Use it to your advantage lol

Next by saluk

match 3 space invaders, lol

Boostcraft by rale

nice polish, stuck to the theme dead on, not too exciting or fun though. Good effort

THE CAVES OF INSANITY!! by philhassey

had fun with it :D

Marble Bomb by NyanNyanKoneko

a little too short

Shrapnel by mjau

somehow i find it just easy enough to dodge 1000 bullets on the screen

Paramecium by midwinter

played almost like Flow. Nice effort

Boomshakalaka Done! by Lerc

solid game.

Unknown by jovoc

nice effort for the late start

Chain Pain: Final Submission by Jach

nice microphone breath static

Short Fuse by Hamumu

awesome game, love the built in editor, im sure ill see some more maps

M3 – Molesting the Match-3 Market by gummikana

this is way to complicated for a casual player :D

Rapid Polymerization of Free Radicals by greencow

level 3 has a bug. I stack the 3 2-pair atoms then connect the single atom to one of the 2-pairs and the level is completed. If I connect the 2-pairs one by one the level doesn't complete. Anyways, the game is kinda cool but too short.

Ms Green’s lovely day by gimblll

nice challenging puzzle game. The simple art goes well with the game.

Space Reactions by fydo

lol, that was easy.

Catalyst by Frimkron

played ok for me, the only thing that really bothered me about this game is the user interface is just not good. Too many clicks to make a turn.

Didn’t finish, got pretty far though… by Fiona

was pretty hard for me. Too many dam bullets. I wasn't sure how the game related to the theme, but it looks like a decent shooter.

Chain Reaction: Detonator, the final? by Endurion

I got to the "really nasty" level, it was pretty fun actually. The game scored high on my part. This is a good example of a chain reaction game.

Final entry! I’m late! by DrPetter

although the game isn't complete, what is complete is nice and polished.

Fairy’s Light by DraykDyna

took some time to figure it out. I got to level 2 and I wasn't very motivated to figure it out after 5 minutes. Nice effort for a first compo.

Mission Accomplished! Or, as Confucius would say, To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short by Deepflame

cool game. I felt like it had good reward for figuring out the level. The graphics were kinda basic, but thats not important :p.

Finally by BenW

its the most simple game in this compo, but yet a very good one. Nice job

TheCrawlyCrab by baggi

the crabs get too sick too fast, i couldn't save even 1 crab. I had to give it a bad score because I couldn't even being playing before it was over. The graphics looked ok though. The game just needed something playable =(

Unknown by allefant

Nice graphics. I like the You Win! on the last level. Other then being a little tricky to figure out the gameplay its a good game.

Ramuh-Shmoo by Sophie Houlden

rope physics ! Cool anime animation !
