LD29 — Beneath the Surface (2)

SUNK by GeorgeBroussard 2014-04-30T10:58:00

And now I'm sad

Driller Rush by Serk 2014-04-28T13:29:00

I frequently come across two rocks spanning the entire width of the level (as in the second screenshot you uploaded). That's pretty much always a death sentence with no way to avoid. Fun, though!

LD22 — Alone (6)

Oh Dear, I've Lost My Hat by fakeyou 2012-01-06T18:31:00

The pathfinding made this game a bit easy. I just clicked on the other side of a thin wall of trees, and the guy walked all the way around for me.

Lonely Dungeon by eerongal 2012-01-06T14:59:00

The game went from "oh, one of these" to "haha" once I figured it out. Nice music, it really added to the mood.

Alone with Aliens by Pixelgel 2012-01-06T12:04:00

It was a bit difficult to play on a swedish keyboard, as ";" requires pressing shift+",". Switching to a US layout worked.

The Tale of Mister by hubol 2012-01-06T11:39:00

It's very difficult to control, but lovely!

Lonesome Cowboy by jlnr 2012-01-06T11:33:00

Ruby source code? Can't play. :/

Afrocity Atrocity by Sos 2011-12-19T23:32:00

Well, fiddle my diddle. That was.. scary! :D

LD21 — Escape (4)

Gaol Break by Basilios 2011-08-22T19:33:00

I quite like it. I gave up on level 3 because it required perfect timing, and I had to wait for the guard to finish his round every single time I failed.

Death Boulder Jones by demonpants 2011-08-22T19:06:00

Very difficult! Feels a bit like trial and error.

Prison Break by hamster_mk_4 2011-08-22T18:57:00

It was a bit difficult to play on a trackpad, but other than that, it was great! I used to play a lot of Virtua Cop, so this really brings back memories. Great job.

65-73-63 by austinbirch 2011-08-22T18:46:00

Firefox 6, MacOS X 10.7. Game shows up as a solid purple square.

LD18 — Enemies as Weapons (8)

Camma The Huntress by Scramasax 2010-08-24T07:43:00

It just crashes for me immediately.

Undermine by droqen 2010-08-24T07:40:00

Hoo wow, very nice indeed! I'm not sure what it is exactly about it that I find so appealing. I think it's the entire package.
All the enemies behave differently and are easily readable, the boss monster is iconic to the extreme, and the music getting more and more muted as you get hurt is a very nice effect. I just miss sound effects!

Collateral by Jonathan Whiting 2010-08-23T02:23:00

I couldn't get back out! But I had a lot of fun getting down! Extremely well done!

Enemies, (Such) as Weapons. by zlash 2010-08-23T02:12:00

That is a LOT of dialogue!

Ol' Conjurer by Attecus 2010-08-23T02:10:00

It doesn't start for me, I guess I need something installed? What do I need?

The Lair of Fungal Wonder by NiallM 2010-08-23T02:08:00

That's really pretty, and the mechanic was interesting. I couldn't find a way to get rid of spore gunner thingies though, so eventually it just turned impossible.

Leave Me Alone by hamburger 2010-08-23T01:57:00

I liked this one a lot! Very well executed

Grabitas by NMcCoy 2010-08-23T01:32:00

It doesn't start for me! I get java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ld18_grabitas.class

LD12 — The Tower (54)

Tower of Doom is Complete! :D by Yezu

The FOV seems way too low, and the movement could use some interpolation. I got a headache from playing it.

Nice ground and wall textures!

Dark Tower by X-0ut

Wow, this is hard. I love the art style.

Crystal Towers Beta -Final- by wonderwhy-er

Nice idea. I like the idea of using tetris blocks in a new way. Very retro new.
The game could use some more polish, though, it quickly got frustrating, and the old \\\"keep space pressed\\\" trick reared it\\\'s ugly head.

Tower Construction Kit by wjordan

Why is it possible to move the view? Why is it possible to zoom? Why use the RIGHT mouse button?

This feels like just taking a physics library and whipping together something to try to make it look like a game, and not at all like a game made from scratch in 48 hours.

Treasure Tower by Wiering

Nice game, great graphics. There\'s no challenge, though.

6hour game: Part 3 by thedaian

God, level 3 was confusing. Heh.

Owliver, space tower janitor by Tenoch

I couldn\'t pass the first level. I figured falling down was much faster than going up, so I even tried doing it from the top, but the topmost crack reopened just as I was going to close the last.
Impressive huge hand drawn level!

Tower of Doom by Sulix

So you\'re supposed to guess which one it is? :-\\

Pfff – fin by jhauberg

Doesn\\\'t start for me.. crashes somewhere in XNA

Commander Blunt by robut

No windows executable? :-(

Castle Attack by psnake

I wish there was a way to send men to the top position

Junktowers by Papper

Haha, awesome! I really liked this. I kept wanting to look around, but the camera was too sluggish, so there was a lot of jumps into the dark.

The Siege of von Danken Tower by pansapiens

Haha, awesome. There seems to be a bug where you can warp via the leftmost wall to avoid the alien, btw. =)

Great job!

Steam Tower by Orangy Tang

Very solid game. Sometimes the pipe ends would get stuck \"folded back\" and would release immediately after I grabbed. Jumping while holding the end seemed to fix this.

I want more levels! =D

Escape From The Tower of DOOM by nilsf

Hehe, is that a reference to Flight of the Conchords?

I beat the game, btw. Very fun!
Amazing.

edit: No, I didn\'t. omg. =D

Towerball by Morre

Interesting game. Getting power and score from hitting walls was nice, and the dampening was really useful.
But far too often, the balls fell slowly back down to the bottom, making all progress I\'d made void, which is annoying.

Final for “Choke Point” by mikejedw

What\'s the radar symbol behind planes when you hover them?

Tau by matrin

It wants SDL.dll here, and won\'t run.

Mr Blocker v1.0 by mariusz

I want a windows executable! Waah!

Tower by LoneStranger of LoneStranger Designs

Keeping space pressed means you win the game. And waste arrows.

Cat Stacker (Final Entry) by lexaloffle

Very nice graphics! It feels like the platform is too small.

WeatherTower – Binary Build Done + Win32 Build! by kutani

Wow, those woods sure spread fast, hehe.

Owl Tower Quest by kai

I couldn\'t get it to move at all once I reached level 2.

Darn, I didn’t make it so guests could download… by demize

I don\'t understand what I\'m supposed to do.

Moonbase Defense by jovoc

Weird graphical bugs on the towers. They seem to start spinning and scaling randomly with quite humorous results.

The Tower of You by jolle

The game didn\\\'t run without zlib1.dll from http://zlib.net/

Fun game, and very polished. Seems a bit easy once you\\\'ve got the hang of it, though.

Femme Tower by Jach

How do I stop the lightning storms?

Rise Of The Owls by Hamumu

Professional looking graphics, AND a game, all in 48 hours? Neato-buckets!

It does seem a tad easy, though. ;)

Teenage Mathant Ninja Tower by greencow

Math? In my computer game? Works fairly well, though.

As good as it gets by gjuggler

Free play worked, but when I tried challenge, it crashed.

Holy Pineapples by gadlor

I kept getting stuck inside the owls, and the screen quickly filled up too much for me to be able to move. Picking up stuff doesn\'t seem to be of much use.
Nice riffing!

Cutting it Fine by Frimkron

Neat rendering, but a bit too aliased. The glitter hurt my eyes. Awesome main character sprite, and I liked the two different levels coexisting (inside/outside)

Failing a jump was punished far too harshly, imo.

Purple Reign – A love letter to awesome games by Fiona

Very nice build-up followed by a somewhat thin game. Loved the sound and music. Great fun!

Tower Infinite by Entar

After getting taught to pick up small balls, getting hurt by the bombs was a bit of a surprise. The fuel recharge feels too slow.

There\\\'s no ending, but it\\\'s not infinite! Confusing.

Tower Collapse by Endurion

I think I know too little about controlled demolition for this game, but it\'s still fun. =)

TowerAssault0 by edwardoka

That tower is really really far away, and the ball travels really slow..

Control Tower by Edge

Nice graphics, and fairly intuitive gameplay. I\'d like it more in windowed mode, though. Stretched out pixels and huge mouse cursors are weird.

Incoming Fodder Final drZool by drZool

There doesn\'t seem to be any way to upgrade the towers.. or am I just confused?

Quick and weak entry from me this time by DrPetter

Hovercraft.

Demonic Tower by dstrysnd

Crashes when I run main.exe: ImportError: No module named os

Unknown by Deepflame

I\'m just one person, I can\'t test a multiplayer game! When I try to play myself, it says \"name already in use\".

Balkor FINAL [Platform independant] by Daz

Annoying keyboard control.. why is it moving a few pixels with every keypress, and relying on repeating keys for moving?

Covenant – Brick Tower by Covenant

Nice, fireworks!

My by Codexus

Incredibly beautiful graphics. You seem to really have an eye for colors and lighting.

This is a game.

(Some animation on the main char would\'ve been nice, even if it was tiny)

done for now by ashton379

I got a popup that said \"find the dark tower\", then nothing else happened.

AkinTower Ready by Ariel Yust

The download link seems to be broken. It should be http://www.the-manatee.net/AkinTower__c_Ariel_Yust_2008.rar

VERY nice graphics!

done by allefant

Too much fetchquesting.

Into the Sky by algorias

If you grab a red block while it\'s dropping, then really quickly whip your mouse somewhere, you can place it in the middle of a huge clump of red blocks.

There\'s no way of getting rid of red blocks?

Super Tower Ascent 2 by adamzap

Doesn\'t work for me. Crashes in game.py line 160

Tower of Abba!! Final!!! by abeck99

I can\'t start the game, it just crashes. \"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.\"

Towlr – 2 Hour Game by PoV

About 33 tries in total. Sinister.

Final submission by GBGames

It\'s a shame you didn\'t manage to finish it.
